Still playing Borderlands 3 as my main PS game. 2 vaults down, don’t know how many more left.
ATOM RPG is hard! I don’t recall having such trouble with Fallout 1 and 2. Either they weren’t this hard or I have become used to easier games. I think my problem is how I distributed my stats, giving me a very intelligent but a weak character, that keeps dying in actual fights.
Read up a bit on it about character stats, and thinking about starting a new game with new character.
While I kept dying in ATOM RPG, I looked through my backlog and started Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All. I loved the first one, but took a break before diving deep in the next one. So, playing through that now. Still a great game, might even be better than the first one. I’ll probably finish this before I go back to ATOM.
Also started Trails in the Sky: Second Chapter on PC. Prologue was very interesting, just started Chapter 1. Playing it slowly on the side, when I generally don’t have access to PS and Switch, not cause the game isn’t fun, but because I don’t enjoy playing on PC much. Fortunately only Trails in the Sky is left on PC, and all other games are available on console, so shouldn’t be too much of a trouble.
What about all of you? What have you been playing?
I’m playing Outward, I’m loving the world and the artwork, and how challenging the combat is. It’s an entirely different sort of RPG, and super-refreshing.
I also occasionally play dwarf fortress, and mech arena on iOS when I have a short break.
Outward is on my wishlist, though I am a bit unsure because of the survival elements. Not a big fan of those.
The survival elements are certainly a big part of rhe game, but if you want to reduce thier impact, there are a few mods that help.
I use a meditation mod, which alows you to slowly regen all three major stats (hp, stamina, mana) by sitting and doing nothing. This makes a HUGE difference in that you then only need potions for healing during fights, you never need to worry about having items to heal up.
Another one links all your stashes (one in each city where you buy a house) so that you don’t have to carry everything with you al the time.
Another one (that I don’t use) is improved inventory. It allows for sending items from your backpack directly to your stash. So again, you don’t have to worry so much about how to carry loot back from dungeons, etc.
There’s still a bit of inventory management, and both illnesses and environmental factors still need to be dealt with, but that’s it.
Thanks for the info, but I’ll most probably play this on Switch, so don’t think I’ll have access to mods.
Saving the post though, in case I end up getting Steam Deck some day.
Glad I could help.
