I finished playing all of the Bioshock series. I liked it all a lot. I wrote about it over on my blog if you want my not-very-original observations.
It's here if you want to read it.

Oh my gosh, this is the first time I've ever been able to make a comment in this thread! I've been playing Stardew Valley with The Spawn. But she keeps yelling at me for getting lost and passing out, which reminded me of the reason why I stopped playing video games with other people. I suck so bad, and everyone gets mad at me.

That Sketches of Salvation is an artifact I've been on the fence about because I can be kinda particular about my rows (and I have been playing a lot of Umbra where which is far right really matters).
If you want to get your first Hellhorned win, I recommend sculpting your hero so he ends up doing 50 damage x2 with the +20 damage on Slay... that seems to give the best scaling.

Yea, it only seemed like it would work with certain units. Basically you want only huge expensive units that don't care about where they go. The 6x event is what really blew it open, as it let me get a huge load of exactly that.
Edit: here's a good example of Sketches in action lol. 2k first round DMG vs Seraph... Seems fine.

Nice change of pace, but unforgiving in certain areas (The cat beasts I just leave in their cages. Those fuckers are a four legged death sentence. When I do let them out. I just run away and watch the Orcs get ripped to shreds.) The controls are a lot looser than Destiny and it feels like I'm piloting a helicopter than a Gondorian Ranger.
Despite the complaints, I LOVE the Captain system. I also love the "upward mobility" of the Uruk pecking order. I also loved the fact that when you die, the Uruk that killed you usually gets promoted. And the ones that kill you repeatedly (Like that *@&@^$! Bow Master) SMACK TALK YOU! "Yer not any better than the last time!"
Just you wait, fuck head, I'm going to INTERROGATE the fuck out of you and enjoy it.

Went after Blorg the Bow Master last night. Tracked him to a stronghold, sniped the urusk to thin them out. Then, had the terrible tactical decision to attack a captain guarding the front by his lonesome, which attracted ALL the boys to the yard. Including Blorg.
Being overwhelmed, I ran away. And promptly got dropped by a poisoned arrow from Blorg. Dick.
Then, I hunt down another Uruk and during the fight, guess who shows up? BLORG, who give me the above quip. Again, I run away. But this time I get dropped by another captain, making him more powerful.
I'll get you Blorg.... I got your number.

Some of my enjoyment could be due to my having hit the level cap and I am absolutely WRECKING fools.

Grim Dawn is pretty good as well. Good immersive story and a one off payment for the game.
When I'm not doing that I'm teaching Paths of Glory to beginners which is fun.

- Unconventional setting
- Focus on social interaction rather than combat
- Really terrific characters and writing
- Terrific pacing on quests.
- Transparent, well-designed mechanics
It's so, so good. I can definitely see myself replaying it down the line. It's like a version of Planescape: Torment that isn't burdened by a need to adapt D&D mechanics.
