My car has been on standard time for years now, so it’s currently correct.

Wow knowing the asset reuse was by design makes me feel way less charitable towards DA2. (I don’t know if I’d go as far as the other commenter and say it’s “a bad game,” but I didn’t like it.)

Initial reviews seem remarkably positive given what we saw in the first gameplay reveal a few months ago. My impression at the time was that about half the voice actors sounded like they hadn’t been given enough context about the scenario and some of the cutscenes had questionable direction, which were bad signs for a curated ten minute slice. I still think it’s ultimately not for me—I don’t really want action combat in my Dragon Age—but I’m glad people are enjoying it.

I don’t want to look at my disgusting flesh-body and I’d rather nobody else saw it either. Rebuild me shiny and chrome, then we’ll talk about showing off.

What a good girl! If I were hurt at home, my dog would interfere with any attempts to come to my aid; she doesn’t trust anyone who comes into the house even if I introduce them to her… it took her most of a year to warm up to my roommate.

Oh I fully agree with you!

It’s their own fault for cheating by psychically knowing I was stealing items despite being [Hidden] and teleporting into the room as soon as I stopped hiding. If they wanted to keep their torso un-ventilated they should have minded their own fuckin’ business!

The fan-favorite companion Andreja is also receiving some backlash for her inclusion in the DLC, with NPCs not reacting to her presence. Strangely, she barely speaks at all.

Is Andreja a fan favorite? I didn’t travel with her long because she got mad that I was shooting space cops…

“Real world politics”? Did I miss the news that Undead Demon Margaret Thatcher is running in the next UK election?

The Build Mode features in 4 are pretty good if you’re into virtual dollhouse building, and there’s a ton of custom content for it (as long as you’re on PC).

Live Mode is not very good, but it’s functional enough to play dolls in the houses you built if you’re willing to do all the story writing to make up for sims not having very interesting personalities/desires/autonomy.

It is part of the main gameplay loop. In order to keep your car in a state where it protects you and is reasonably driveable, you must gather materials to craft repair items and replacement parts, in order to maintain the car’s panels, doors, and bumpers (which together function as armor), its wheels (which are necessary to get anywhere), and the various add-on systems you can craft for it. Tools gradually break with use, so you’ll also craft replacement tools, which are mostly for scavenging materials or interacting with stuff in the Zone.

By collecting a certain resource you gradually unlock upgraded parts and tools for crafting, which is the main way player power progresses during the game.

Why isn’t Echoes of Wisdom in the “upcoming” category? It doesn’t release until the end of the month.

Don’t you press R1 when your attack hits to pull the trigger for extra damage? You do use the revolver part, just only in close combat.

Or did I hallucinate that? It’s been over 20 years since I played it.
