Dungeon Siege 3

Not bad as I was predicting, but nothing amazing as well.

A simple RPG mechanics,where builds are mostly straightforward and shouldn't create any problems. I choose Katarina for a main character and paired her with Anjali for full waifu playthrough, but later on used Crispy Reinhart, because he was really effective with his magic. His efficiency most likely is even higher, when playing in co-op mode . The best loot is found mostly from enemies with some occasional chests here and there. The DLC "Treasures of The Sun" added new region with the most difficult boss fight, raised level cap to 35 and last but not least, new enchanting system which can transform items ridiculously. Looks like Josh Sawyer didn't work on this, no sir. The lore was ok, you can ignore it if you just want to continue your journey, but since I didn't finish previous games in the series I took a slow approach. The only thing that deserves a dozens of lashes is camera behavior, which made sometimes moving and attacking harder than it should be. Other than that there was no crashes and bugs that I experienced.

A perfect "cool story bro" picture. The most difficult boss from DLC.

There were a lot of high-falutin' plans for the story if I remember correctly, but the issue isn't just the damp narrative and lore, the issue is that they managed to fuck up a Diablo clone and make hack-and-slash somehow even more tedious. Quite a feat!

Roman victory against Germano Gothic barbarian tribes.

Wish I had taken more pictures of this battle as it worked out really well.

Here's a poor drawing of how it basically worked out. The Goths, blue, had a lot of good quality cavalry so I knew that I was bound to be flanked to death if I sent my Romans at him headfirst. Especially with his good quality horse archers, sending my infantry chasing after those would be a nightmare. So I set up my infantry, in red, to take advantage of the lake and the river, forming their line in such a way as to make sure they couldn't be flanked from behind, and ensuring he could only send a limited amount of troops at me, because they had to funnel themselves under the lake while trying to avoid the rough ground on the hill. I also formed it at an angle and placed my weaker troops at the southern point, to encourage him to send cavalry down the length to try and break through and get behind me.

Roman access to cavalry is limited, but they did have two cataphracts available, so I bought those in addition to one more high tier cavalry. Placed them, in yellow, behind the forest to hide them from view.

So it worked out almost perfectly, he sent his infantry against the northern part of my line made up by high morale Roman infantry, who kept them at bay, then sent all of his cavalry down along the length of my formation. As soon as the cavalry contacted my southern infantry I sent my own cavalry around behind him. Once my cataphracts smashed into his flank it was over.

The struggle is real. Most painful thing to do/see in this game (Dawn of Man): carrying a piece of megalithic stone to a menhir construction site.

Really close to finishing Koudelka. I've been grinding in preparation of the final boss since I was fairly underleveled (product of me running away from most encounters in Disc 3 and 4 because of how slow battles were). No joke, every battle I win I gain levels. Not sure if this is because of poor balance or a good indication that I was truly underleveled. Then again, these battles are fairly easy so I dunno. The game is really poor either way, if Baldur's Gate is a 5 out of 10 and "play it for historical reasons", then Koudelka is pretty much the same but "play it for the unique setting", except I may as well recommend people to watch a Let's Play instead.

Using RetroDays tileset, to be more precise.

The game can look quite a bit different depending on the tileset used.

City builder? RTS? Looks interesting.

 

[Aemar]

City builder/survival similar to Banished, albeit a bit less boring and with greater potential. Early Access-ish.

Shaka Zulu looked at his glorious holdings.

The cities of Nigger Bay prospered nicely. But the treacherous neighbours never slept, jealous of the prosperity of Zululand.

Spoiler

But the combined might of the Zulu armies brought all of them to their knees. The powerful spear-chucks sunk their vessels, ravaged their womyn and tore apart their tanks with their bare hands.

... and then one of his vassals MISSCLICKED on the diplovictory screen, voting for the Swedish menace...

Fortunately the game knew who was the rightful winner.

Who mastered the economy, the culture, the science, the armies. The world.

Shaka Zulu, you will go down in history with great fame.
