Doing the L.O.R.D's work.
We had GTA5, Watchdogs, Far Cry 3,4 and blood dragon , Borderlands: The Pre-sequel, Saints row 4 and Borderlands 2 in the last 3 years.
I assume this means first part of the xpac right?
Adding a CD-check DRM feels like a waste of time and an annoyance for backers, but good on them to offer refunds to people should they not like that decision.

So Far Cry and Borderlands games then. All others are TPS for me.
I don't think SP wanted to add it, but Key probably demanded that there be DRM.
Warband is the one you want to play.
Recommended Mods:
Gekokujo, a total conversion mod set in Sengoku period Japan
Floris Mod Pack, one of the most polished and feature complete mods for Warband. It's basically Warband 2.0
Prophesy of Pendor, a total conversion set in a new fictional world that's actually pretty cool and interesting. Be warned, it's significantly harder starting out in PoP than in the base game.
Warsword Conquest, total conversion mod set in the Warhammer Fantasy universe.

Any video link? Gamersyde doesn't have it unfortunately, but it looks real cool.
I knew I liked the look, and I sorta realize why now. This is pretty on point.
Dark Souls is a janky Dark Souls. Demon's Souls is a jankier Dark Souls. This game based on that GIF doesn't look any more janky.
GTA V first person mode is pretty well executed. You can play it all legitimately first person

Man, sure would be nice if CDPR would at least update people on 1.08. I've been waiting for the patch to hit before continuing, but the wait's killing me. Especially as I don't want to start anything else without knowing how long it'll be.
I just want to continue... :'(

To be fair to you, WD and GTA5 can be played in first-person view I think but for me it seems like they are more meant as third-person. I did totally forget about Borderlands though. I think that's because I put them to a similar place like Fallout 3&NV as they are all designed around big open-world which have a lot of emptiness with load times to get to city like settlements. So what I originally thought of when posting was FPS in cities. But then again Far Cry is not like that, so I am not sure why I feel more comfortable with that as open-world. Hm, maybe because it is mainly a shooter and the world is seamless without loads and it has a lot less other elements like RPG ones compared to Fallout and Borderlands.Oh, you wrote FPS. Mea Culpa.
I find the first person awkward, but I'm pretty sure it's because I'm too used to it being third person, well as first person is done.
Even owning a new gen copy, I keep it like it was for the 2013 Fall release. I'm just shit at adapting.

I think it's the wooden planks in that gif that made me remember the starting world in Demon's Souls, haha.
The Mooncrest Kickstarter feels like it had a slow start.
I wanted to back it initially but given the kind of game they want to make and the amount asked (feels like 400k is kinda too low), I'm gonna wait and see.

Listen to this...man? I'll assume man. All these female avatars throw me off sometimes. But listen. It's the right answer.
I'm not one for mods. Even vanilla warband is a fine game.

I think I'm ready to give up on Legend of Grimrock II.
I really like it's graphics, combat system, infinitely improved environments, etc.
But man, it's just such a punishing and obtuse game. I say that as someone who greatly enjoyed his Dark Souls and Bloodborne playthroughs. I feel like I put in a lot of effort to get past fights and puzzles for very little reward. I finally found a key to open a little door, behind which is a switch that presumably does something, but i can't tell what. Weeee!
I feel like I've gotten my money's worth on the sale price at least.

If you have a good PC make sure to get the Warband mod that increases the battle size. Having over a thousand people fighting at once is rad.
It's not just a mod though, it brings back tons of stuff that never made it in the game or made it so damn poorly that it was unusable. Fixes a lot of things too.
I'll double down on Warband + Floris.
Also, set aside like 500h if you start playing...

Not gonna lie. I'm down for some Jank Souls.

No e-mail from them on my end yet XO
Ashen has a gorgeous artstyle and seems to be beautifully animated. I'm not really sure what you're referring to.

I think it's because of the different in graphical style compared to 4.
Who the hell thought that putting so much elements on screen (from HUD to wallhack) is good idea? AC Syndicate related

The part where the player is attacking the enemy just screams 'low-budget eastern Europe RPG' to me, sorry.

Helps it look a little bit better than what it was before.
warband is the one that got the most kindness out of modders and from the devs so it's the one most ppl play
with fire and sword isn't terrible but i don't love it either
i personally only use diplomacy since i feel floris adds a ton of stuff im not super interested in but that's i think the one most ppl recommend (and comes with diplomacy included)
you can get by with vanilla warband but there's some really nice usability improvements with diplomacy/floris like talking to town elders from the town menu that are very much must-haves, at least for me

I always thought that thing looked uncomfortable but, yeah I see what you mean.
This still hasn't been confirmed for PC, has it?
I'm willing to bet it will silently appear on Steam like some past Activision games.

Every time I see that game on sale I go back and forth in my head about whether I should buy. I've just heard so many bad things.
Sounds like my pexperience with the first LoG. Obtuse puzzles, hit switches that activate something who the fuck knows where, etc. I went into LoG expecting more combat than puzzling, so that was a big turnoff.

Same here. I thought about it myself but, I just keep saying "No it's not worth it."
