Video game thread!
I'm having fun playing Baldur's Gate 3 with a few mods. WASD movement, camera tweaks (so you can actually see the beautiful environments), the somewhat chud-like Realms Restored 2.0 to de-woke the game world, and I'm switching between the amusing Philomena Cunk as my AI generated narrator voice and the cooler and more serious Christopher Lee. :D
I'm about 7-8 hours deep in the game on normal difficulty; currently making a conscious effort to reduce my savescumming to a minimum. My character is a custom Dark Urge Sorcerer. Which is fun.He apparently just brutally murdered a bard girl from the grove, who showed up in camp, while he was sleep walking. Hmm. I didn't seem to have an option to avoid this outcome. Then "my butler" showed up and gave me a reward of sorts. It will be interesting to see where this Dark Urge story goes, even though I'm not really prepared to be an evil butcher.
I've just respecced Shadowheart to a less crappy build and so far I'm running the party with her, the ever ruthless cunny Lae'Zel, and Gale.
I made sure to uncoverKagha's conspiracy to deliver the Grove to the shadow druids, before I even considered going towards the goblin camp etc. I've confronted her and killed her. Some people don't like that, others really do. because I played most of Act 1 a couple years back and got locked out of the quest back then.
Any recommendation for good Co-op games I should play together with my wife? We just got Core Keeper and Heroes of Hammerwatch 2 since they were on sale, and so far they're fun but not quite up to the standards that I prefer.
For context, we like strategy games, goofy games, and games with lots of progression and/or unlocks. We usually play on Steam, but have a Nintendo Switch. Also notably she sometimes gets nauseous from fast-paced camera movements, so something like first person shooters or over the shoulder 3D platformers where you're flicking the camera around are not likely to work, though something slower like Skyrim is fine. Top down perspective is preferred.
Our number one game together is Gloomhaven, in which we have 300 hours, having played through the entire campaign and then a few years later starting up a new campaign because we wanted to play more. The sequel Frosthaven is in Early Access and we're waiting for a full release before definitely getting that.
Other notable successes include Divinity Original Sin (1 and 2), Don't Starve Together, Overcooked, Plate Up, Archvale. Anything involving collecting/stealing and selling loot is a bonus.
Well you're replying to a post about BG3 so I assume you're aware of that game.
Wasteland 3 is very good too.
It Takes Two may be too fast paced, but it's a good co-op experience.
Wasteland 3 was good, and so close to great. I still remember when Down In The Valley To Pray and Blood of the Lamb kick in. Unfortunately, I DNFd it because of questionable level scaling with the enemies becoming way too tanky to retain my immersion.
The soundtrack had some great songs!
I don't remember the enemies becoming particularly tanky. Maybe your builds sucked. :P
