What Video Games Have You Been Playing? #23: Lost in Shalebridge Cradle

[FredLC]

Come to think of it, is there anyone here that used to play Tyranny? If so, do you have old saves that are convenient for the "Troubleshooter" trophy, or at least that are just before the beggining of the "bastard wound" area? If so, I can get my 100% attempt back on track...

Regards .

Raining indoors. Definitely a Bethesda game.

Not quite, I don’t see flying ragdoll getting stuck in walls and spontaneously exploding props.

I always loved the  concept of the game more than actually playing it, so yes, I did play it for a bit, but no, I can't help you.

This, 100% this.
A situation not helped by Obsidian continuing their proud tradition of having terrible forethought in how they introduce companion classes.
"Oh, you want to play a mage and side with the Chaos Crimson guys? The only company you're getting that likes you is the fragile DPS character."

 

[FredLC]

Eh; I can see that, I do. I had the game for a year and did 2 false starts before I carried through a full playthrough, but I was always getting lost on how to build my characters, what each classes were supposed to do, etc...

That game took very long to really grow on me. But it eventually did. Today I consider it a great game.

Today, I really like it, and I am very curious to get to Pillars 2, that had all the tyranny improvements and more, now that I have a better understanding of how things work...

I'm seriously considering that after those, I shall try my hand on Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 for the first time. But it will take a while. A lot of Pillars of Eternity ahead yet...

I'd kind of forgotten how tedious and difficult the construction of Settlements is in Fallout 4, and Sim Settlements 2 only makes it a little easier. Last night I must have spent 5 hours working on Hangman's Alley, and by the end I had gotten almost nothing done. What a friggin' PITA. There's definitely something compelling about an RPG where you can build little towns, and maybe someday someone will figure out how to do it.

I found my FO4 play got in a rut where I spent so long on settlement building that I never seemed to do anything else but I couldn't bear to just have the basic food & water settlements anymore. Main reason why I gave it up. I'd start a new game with this aim or that and get bogged down in settlement building again and never get to my aim.

Sim Settlements 2 does contain settlement plans that can automate settlement building.

So, when is the new DLC for EUIV coming out?
Due to lack of anything else, I might try EUIV, although I am sure it will bore me with its simple mechanics. At least in Victoria you can aspire to keep control of 100 different parameters to optimize (primarily raw materials and building chains), instead of ticking boxes.

Hamgmans ally is terrible settlement and crashes a lot.

Best used as a depot to store stuff or building workbenches.

If you want attract settlers and send the somewhere else. Bit you get stuck with Brahmin.

My current Hangman's Alley settlement is going to have 4 settlers tops. Just enough for a bar and possibly a clinic or trader, it also has a massive armory. I.E. everything i looted from downtown Boston.

I store pretty much everything there. Based on location and convenience.

Sanctuary hills is my economic hub with 10 or 12 merchants.

Survival mode live off the land

I just started using this mod, and it's got some cool stuff. I think it would be ideal for a Survival game.

N.E.S.T Survival Bunkers v1.5

This mod adds 30 new locations ranging from bunkers,shelters, and general holdouts. Based on cold war designs bunkers are strewn across the wasteland, to provide shelter for you wasteland wanderers. B

The Alley is a good choice for an outpost, I agree, but I decided to build it up a bit. This mod about doubles the buildable area.

Hangman's Alley Interior Apartments

I really like Hangman's Alley but I felt it was a bit small so I changed two of the buildings to have interior space. They are fully navmeshed and I expanded the workshop build area and hopefully fixe

More you build hangmans alley more it crashes. It's not very stable.

Not the worst of starts (10 years from the beginning). Most of Naples is mine too.

This was done without any help from an allied power - I just annexed 2/3 of Naples, built an army, funded Egypt (after I took Crete from it) and thus allowed it to return its army from the dead. Serbia also had its own war against the OE and won a region. I am allied to Russia now, but didn't call them in (because they tend to be greedy and steal stuff; my peace already cost 98% so it'd be ruined if they literally asked for anything), I signed my own peace with the OE for 4 regions.
Egypt turns to the Arab Union, depending on how the oriental crisis goes.

I just played the Homestar Runner halloween game. Fun but brief.

Is HOI IV a very bad game?

Also, does Crusader Kings (not sure what number it is at currently, probably III), feature any economy or just the same basic stuff as EUIV?

Paradox only had one job with VictoriaIII, and they messed it up.

CK3 has very basic economy, not really the games focus.
Haven't played HOI IV but my brother has. According to him an OK game but not his favourite of the series, that was a heavily modded HOI III I think.
