My above post was trolling, just to be clear. I didn't give away a copy of Trails in The Sky and mik didn't send a PM to claim it. To make up for it here's a proper giveaway. It was meant for Marco initially, but he doesn't accept gifts :p

It's him or me. I'd rather it was him.

I do wanna say that me saying to not send me stuff was to keep people from seeing me say it was my birthday and then send me stuff because of that (rather than knowing/remembering or something, dunno). I wasn't fishing for stuff.

I'd like to see a compilation of the strangest PM titles when entering modbot giveaways.

Mine are strange but I bet there are some funny ones out there.

Well, I dunno how you are supposed to get into Mercer's house in Skyrim, but I jumped on a barrel then onto an adjoining roof then did the shout that makes you dash over to his balcony. I assume you can lower that draw bridge somehow but not I, Vori'noh the master thief.

Getting some karma back after DR3 win. :)
Hopefully everything's unredeemed - Humble seems to think so at least.

Always thought that he didn't take any offense to the jokes about him claiming games or this "nice... btw" meme but after checking his post history it seems that he got annoyed by it.

Well, as someone who was been bullied and annoyed by people from this thread I won't partake in jokes about him anymore, if it is bothering him

Such a good damn game, I love it. The battles can get a bit long, but after changing the battle tunes I run to find anything I can fight.

Nice giveaway.

Need to finish it, wasted too much time with Xillia 2

So are any of the bundles this week any good? Even though I probably wouldn't get to any games in a while, due to school and all the previous Steam games I have let to play -.- I guess I am discovering the perils of Steam.

Oh god, the Banner Saga frustrates me in a good way. Could also be called Hindsight Saga, god all that crap that is falling back on me, that already smelled like trouble and yet was decided by me to keep. Second play through gonna be a bliss, when I'm finished this mess.

Some choices go as far as
having playable characters die/keeping them alive
, it got a bit frustrating for me trying to choose the 'right' decision. I just went with the flow after a while, much more enjoyable.

Glad I bought and beat that game, it was great.

Playing Banner Saga as the usual Boy Scout can be painful at times, even when it seems it was an easy decision. Yes
Mr Onef,
I'm looking at you.

And I love it for that.

If you don't want to know what can be influenced, don't click ;)

Some choices mattered, some didn't matter as much.
The choices mostly affected how hard you are making it on yourself and who you fight with if I remember correctly

I don't know about the big overall story, since I am only 5 hours in (I think 12 hours was the average?), but you can influence a lot that comes back to you.

That goes from taking strangers in your tross that may be loyal or bring goods, trust and help, or backstab you, kill your people and steal your food when you need them the most. You have a nice amount of fighters you pick up along the way. You can train them, you have discussion with them to certain things, but they can also die along the way. And it's not like "aww, my best archer died, son of a bitch", but "Oh shit, no Bob! What have I done, why did I decide that?!"

It's not about morals in Banner Saga. A morally good decision can soon turn bad, like giving away food or trusting everyone who begs with big eyes. What good is it to give some strangers food if your own people starve in the long run?

There is also only autosave, so you can't just experiment what the best choice is. You have to choose at the moment and evaluate if and how big the risk is to do anything or even to do nothing. It's really great in giving you the power to shape your own story. A story full of suffering, wrong decisions and a harsh world.

Don't look at spoilers, just enjoy the ride. Not knowing what's coming is great too.

Seeing all the Payday 2 talk earlier in the thread made me want to buy the game. So I make use of enhanced steam to check it out on the store page and I see that I missed a sale on it back in June. Looks like I'll be waiting til it's on sale again. Thanks again for all the work you've put in on ES, jshack! :)

Killed one of the best defenders, pissed me right off

I really let loose with the choices after that. That one was crazy.
