    What's the reading age for this series? I know it doesn't always matter, but some novels it breaks my immersion when I become aware that the reading age is more teenage than adult

    Yeah the music is really nice.

    I haven't seen the anime, I don't really know anything about the series apart from this game, but I hear there's quite a bit of other media out there

    I'm trying to focus on Nier: Automata, halfway through the 9S playthrough, it's an interesting game, not very deep in gameplay, but every so often surprises me.

    I've also just picked up Monster Hunter Rise with Sunbreak, I've never really played a MH game properly and find them really Grundy, but I hear Rise isn't so bad so wanted to give it a fair go.

    Also just finished getting a Druid to 100 in Diablo IV, my first season and I am done with the game in about 2 weeks, I may try another class in the next season but the game seems very shallow and repetive.

    Yes it's a great game and I would have liked to see it above D4, I would easily put Last Epoch and Path of Exile ahead too.

    I always thought that Grim Dawn was no longer being developed on as the devs were working on a new game, but they keep pumping out patches and content.

    This was something I found strange in the new Alien: Romulus film, why were the temperature readings in a science vessel for a space faring civilisation in Fahrenheit!?

    No one said veganism is a religion, but it IS a political standpoint and philosophical and moral practice.

    Just read the first two paragraphs of wikipedia, it makes it clear.

    Following a plant based diet is one thing, being a Vegan is different.

    But Solo Self Found is quite popular and surely that's entirely without trading?

    Or are you also talking about Vendor trading/crafting like the Chaos recipe?

    I honestly thought the dev team had gone to an end on Grim Dawn, but they've kept it going with patches and content.

  • So I figured it's about time I gave this game a shot. I'm familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV. I think the reason why I didn't pick this up earlier was because I didn't feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow. Of course I'm trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I've never played F76. The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point? I'm trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I've helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road. Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through? There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven't experimented with any mods just yet.

    Specifically, whose story am I playing? I'm playing two games at the moment, a single player run through as a custom character, and a coop run-through as Wyl in the second player slot. I've noticed that in coop I get a lot of story if I instigated chats with NPCs or scripted events even while sleeping at camps. How will the game end in this way, will player one and player two get two endings? In my single player playthrough, if I decided to move Gael to my first character slot and control him would I get a Gael playthrough instead of my custom character? Would that mean there's no point in starting as Gael as an origin character? Does anyone know the difference here?

    So I'm familiar with DOS: EE and the element mechanics of combat, but I'm not sure if that applies to DnD 5e. But last night I threw a fireball cantrip at a group of goblins standing in grease, and what do you know but the whole gang go up in flames! Does anyone know of other great spell or skill combinations you can use, especially to deal with groups? Also what are your go-to combat setups? I'm currently running a Druid, Cleric, Warlock, Fighter so if you can think of combinations from those classes that would be great too.
