It's one of the all time classics for a reason. Nice to see you going with best clan Toreador, if I'm not mistaken.
Crusader Kings 2 with a VtM/VtR skin would be a dream game.
Speaking of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, you guys should totally watch this, A Love Letter to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

Wow, that game still looks pretty good.
I'd download Homefront, if Far Cry 3 wasn't sitting in my backlog with like an hour's playtime. I enjoyed the opening, just need to get in the groove.

Fantasy Crusader Kings 2 needs to happen. With Game of Thrones being all the rage, not developing it is just leaving money on the table.
And CK2 is getting really close to GOAT territory, with every expansion bringing it closer to perfection.
And maybe Tyranny? (I'm not holding my breath, but eh. You never know.)

Divinity: Original Sin 2, shaka brah.

Yes, we all know webm is far superior. All of you take this as a hint.

Ah, I was wondering what he is working on after wrapping up Dead State. Seems like he is working as a writer on Torment: Tides of Numenera, while working on Double Bear's yet to announced second game.
I enjoyed it quite a bit, the cast of characters were well written and very diverse. I enjoyed the social and management aspect of it mostly that's not to say that the combat is terrible.
What now?
Troika devs worked on Wasterland 2 (Anderson), Pillars of Eternity (Cain) and Diablo 3 (Boyarsky). They certainly didn't work on this game.

Ugh it was my niece's birthday today and I've been running around all day, and then I had to take photos of the birthday. 468 photos.... I just hope at least one is decent. I don't know how people worked when they only had film 
Now to shut down my brain and kill stuff in some game I guess.

Sounds like a plan! Enjoy your day of videogames!
what about it? The bunker I mean, it's not even a dragon, it's a hole in the ground, why it is red? kindly fix this.

The best way to kill some stuff in games is to enter Overwatch--either the action or organisation.
Believe it.
State of Decay, Expeditions: Conquistador, Thea: The Awakening, or even Rimworld are all much easier recommendations for those seeking survival RPG elements.
Actually, the only recent survival RPG I'd put below Dead State is Wasteland 2 (non-Director's Cut, at least). W2 doesn't even have ideas, it just has a weird level of retro pride. (I'll eventually get around to W2DC...)
Believe it.
Dead State is the very definition of jank. There's some really cool ideas, but a lot of the presentation and gameplay gets in the way of showcasing it. You'll often be fighting the UI as much as you are the enemies. Like, it is a good time if you're willing to give it a lot of slack, but otherwise there's a sea of better RPG or RPGlikes to play, even survival ones.

it looks cool and you guys should be it to support the FMV community
I love Gian Carlo and I'll protect him
I seem to have fallen off from DXMD a bit. Last played it on Wednesday.
I've too many games that I'm halfway through, ugh.
Also when's the next elusive Hitman target supposed to come out?

it's very janky but i liked it a lot
it's very successful at doing a really satisfying gameplay loop of looting for stuff and upgrading ur base and interweaving that with bits of story but it's also way too overambitious and suffers from bugs, really bad navigation and ui work and various undercooked gameplay and story elements
this is incorrect as bloodlines designer brian mitsoda directed dead state
afaik annie mitsoda also worked on bloodlines

That has to happen.
You know it. 👍
Yup. I'm just using the mod that fixes the game and a few nvinspector tweaks.

Still waiting for my Wesker may cry game.
i quite like what i played of wasteland 2 but it's true that its reverance for classic crpg conventions is a problem
dead state doesn't make those mistakes out of reverance, it's more like it couldn't afford to not fall for them, they had such a limited budget and a small team and their ambitions were so high, it's kind of just way too much for them
that's why i like eternity so much, the point of these new games isn't to replicate old crpgs, it's to figure out when they went wrong and fix it while also taking advantage of what they got so fucking right
divinity original sin does a little bit of this but nowhere as good as eternity. eternity is seriously a masterful class in proper polish and streamlining, it's such a good game

my biggest problem with Wasteland 2 was the Unity Engine

Unity engine on PS4 for Umbrella Corps was something else. Jank to the max.
I barely know that person and I like them already.
honestly the ui is shit in every single crpg
like i hated the ui in divinity as well and it's the most not-bad in eternity but it's still a headache about a ton of stuff
but yeah wasteland 2 is specially bad and sadly i don't feel like torment's looking much better
KOTOR 2's UI is fine honestly.
Which reminds me, should I start my yearly KOTOR 2 playthrough this month or next month?

DOS' one big UI innovation was the chain link for follower AI. (an easy, button-free way to display "follow party" or "disable party movement" options.)
But yeah, the genre is still waiting for the "Civ5" of CRPGs to come along for the presentation. (Seriously, every 4X worth its salt now mimics Civ5's UI; it is a masterclass, and probably one of Firaxis' biggest legacies beyond Civ as a series.)
Wow. I'm kind of shocked that Elder Scrolls has enough lore for a Total Conversion... The lore is so forgettable in those games.
But truly, I don't want to sacrifice the bajillion expansions in exchange for a license. I need both the fantasy pitch AND a half-decade of expansions.
Make it happen, Pdox.
It really is the most natural pairing imaginable.
I should try it one day... One day.
well i mean, was mostly referring to old ass crpgs, but i guess that applies to most other rpgs as well
honestly can't even remember kotor's ui, but i'll say that most cases ui stuff in rpgs is not a painless thing lol
i think eternity was a really big step in that direction, i can see tyranny being great as well
obsidian really are experts on the subject

Support for higher resolutions, 60fps, working online functionalities and achievements would be quite enough by me. Although adding new scenarios and elements would be even better, of course.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
TES games have a metric shitton of intriguing lore lurking beneath the veneer of traditional fantasy. (Michael Kirkbride was responsible for a lot of that funkiness, love him or hate him. The opinion of the TES community is definitely split on the topic.) Kind of surprised you found it forgettable, tbh.
totally fucked up my building in project highrise, I took a contract from investors for expanding my infrastructure by including 12 medium offices (3 of each type of 4) and went to go build some shit
anyways after zoning the office space I signed a contract for a tenant to move in, but it was a dentist (I need 3 medical offices) but wasn't thinking and put them in a place and now they moved in and are pissed because they dont have water... (not all offices need a water line, restaurants/coffee shops do, of course.. and laundry services)
apartments need them too but i'm not building any of those
but they are in a place where in order to give them water I'd have to evict like 4 tenants and that shit costs money since you are breaking their lease
fucked

I did similar with not planning ahead for water. I was pretty early though, so I'm just restarting.
I barely remember the lore. To be honest I really only remember morrowind.

Played the first chapter of Walking Dead: Michonne. Looks like this will easily be worth the $3.66 I payed. Also realized that I have every TT game after Jurassic Park came out. I just really enjoy the interactive TV show format. Hoping Batman finishes it's season this year and doesn't take forever.

Well... my final big choice in TWD: Michonne Ep 3, you know, The Big One, was not reflected in the Epilogue--as if I took an entirely different path. It's pretty much shattered the enjoyment of that game.
Telltale pls. If you can't ensure continuity then your games are unquantifiably terrible.
Of course, if there's continuity-related bugs then I should really skip it. It's a complete gamebreaker, especially with how the chapters and dialog skipping works in most of TellTale's output.

In spite of the above, I'm also hoping Batman ends up good, on the Borderlands end of the spectrum rather than the Game of Thrones one. Should be a fun romp at the very least.

Just played about an hour and a half of The Evil Within and so far it feels like an RE4 clone. Did people just hate it on release because of technical issues or something?
I don't know honestly, all my friends who liked RE4 liked TEW a lot.
