A Song of Ice and Fire point and click game may be the best way to interact with that setting, in all honesty.

Or that CK2 mod, which is pretty fun.

Also, you might like The Wolf Among Us. It's TWD but with neon and fursonas instead of zombies.

It's not the kind of game I'd replay just to see what happens if I say this other thing or whatever (am not that type of gamer anyway), but I'll probably replay it in a few years once I've forgotten most of it. Or when Season 3 is released.

What I really liked though, is that it makes you feel something about your character and NPCs and the whole thing feels dynamic even though the genre itself is not very dynamic.

I'm a bit reluctant to try TWAU because the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced I won't get the same feeling playing another similar game. Might have been a combo of the characters, the genre and myself being so surprised since I had no idea what I was playing when I tried it first.

I'm really jonesing to get back into modded New Vegas, but I really don't have the rig to do so. Such is my shame.

Fuck. Closed out at 4471/10000. I would've backed this.

I have been playing The Last One of Us and I think I like it most of the most recent bits i h'ave been playing but the start wsas just like a long tutorial from hell. tutorihell. Perhaps my favourite thing is to keep crouching all the time as i pretend the man has sciatica and I say in real life 'OOO MY BACK' and laugh a little bit

Shit this is fucking awesome. Was 4too posting on other forums?

He must have donated enough to Wasteland 2 to get a character in-game.

I rather think he was so awesome that they had to make a character out of him. I hope you can also talk to him and he'll go on in his crazy tongue.

Blargh · Post by **Blargh** » Sat Aug 16, 2014 12:29 pm

THIS is totally, entirely not Gunpoint. Because swords instead of a gun you rarely, if ever, use. It's pretty good, though brief, OBVIOUSLY.

Gonna be honest, I didn't try talking to him at first, it didn't give him a name until I had already started combat and he looked like another robo-baddy for me and the crew to take down. The screenshot is right after I ambushed him and dealt a buttload of damage so if he had combat dialog he really didn't get a chance to say any.

Hey, you should all throw money at this, because it looks as though it could be rather excellent, and because it doesn't expire tomorrow. Also this, for the same reasons.

@ SenisterDenister Thanks for posting the scr. grab.

News to me!

Before Kickstarter postpartum syndrome was diagnosed as an area effect social disease,(worthy of Kickstarter funding!), WL2 was my irrational exuberance peak experience.

Most likely did stumble over some trip wire in the contribution hierarchy. Not sure if I was elicited for peripheral content suggestions.

Whenever any questionnaire was e-mailed, I perhaps, like so many Kickstarter fans, was stuck in the mind trap of â€¦ I had too little time to spare.

Punted.

Never looked back â€¦ kind of like if you don't pick a philosophyâ€¦ then some 'thing' picks you.

OR.

Maybe contributed to a group fund for vanity content like at RPG-Codex. Not sure if location or a statue. Maybe the statue was for PoE.

Tried to follow the WL2 aipha-beta-whatever critique at the Codex, some personas did heroic effort in positive de construction,

some other personas just let their true snarky selves ooze all over. {Multimedia review style like forever , and now Internet meme: if you can't say anything negative, don't say anything at all!}

Down loaded early summer version of beta to test Steam nuts and bolts, and Win 7 machine I cobbled together.

Downloaded in reasonable time for mid DSL, installed, booted and mouse pointer seemed to function in 'real time', but that's all I recall.

I like the Fritz Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/46 ... ld-war-one (7 days, 2/3rds to goal as of 8/20/14!)

Maybe I'm projecting, if WW1 battle simulated as deadly as it was, this could have interesting horror survival potential.

///////////////////////

Happy World War One Centennial! Long ago dipped in for a reference, and finally read Barb Tuchman's The Guns Of August cover to cover.

Can see why it has been THE popular go to book. Get focused on details and can suspend your spoiler circuits. Get to ride the train until it wreaks at the first Marne battle.

Old enough to:

Waiting, wet in Woodstock inspired perspiration / anticipation for The Who to leap, sling, flail, wail, performing a "Live At Leeds" era show biz / buzz.

Age by games.

Board gaming was Avalon Hill and later S and T Magazine [My life time sub lasted until the eventual buy out

Sim'ed Avalon Hills' Jutland on open floor with yard stick and plastic protractor until the *DAWG OF WAR* sniffed, snuffled, licked up naval battle lines!
