Across all my playthroughs, I’ve probably only bothered killing all the individual ones once for the prayer beads. Just not an enjoyable fight at all.
I think I might have burnt myself out on Elden Ring back when it released. Prior to Elden Ring, I didn’t really have much of an interest in soulslikes so I opted to watch a playthrough of it by Northernlion. Having seen everything, my motivation to play the game waned. It was still lots of fun to co-op it with my SO, she loves the game a lot, but after ~200h across two characters, I just can’t get myself to finish the DLC even though I know it’s objectively good. I just don’t vibe with open world games at all, same goes for ER. Quite a shame and unfortunate for my SO since she loves the game a lot and would also like to see the DLC.
Oh yea that makes sense. I’ll have to give it another shot at some point. Any point in playing Skywind whenever it’s released? Probably not since it’s just Morrowind but in Skyrim.
Definitely do once you get around to it! It took me some time to get into it, but I’m so glad I did. Such an awesome spin on the original novel and so much symbolism hiding in there. Feels like the closest thing to Bloodborne 2 there will be until Bloodborne 2 comes out (let me have my copium).
Both are acquired tastes but definitely worth checking out too. Both are on sale quite often too (though there’s nothing wrong with pirating DE since the company, the management specifically, is a shell of its former self and shouldn’t be supported)
I had a friend do the same with Elden Ring, it’s a shame since it’s such a great game. I get it though.
About Skywind, I’ll probably give it a shot at some point eventually but a big part of Morrowind is its gameplay, as unintuitive as it may be sometimes. Skywind certainly wouldn’t be a replacement for Morrowind like a truly faithful remaster might be, but would be fun in addition to playing the original. Someone’s actually making Morrowind in the Elden Ring engine too, I’m really curious how that’ll go.
I picked up both Lies of P and Disco Elysium so maybe I’ll give them a chance whenever I put Morrowind on pause again, though I have been meaning to jump back into Oblivion so we’ll see. I was also in the middle of a Skyrim character playthrough when I jumped to Morrowind so I might finish that first too.
Likewise to you too. It’s Remembrance Day in Canada today so it feels a little weird playing a game where you kill people, but I don’t think the States has Remembrance Day so it makes sense they released it on November 11.
I’ve always wanted to visit Germany. I’ve never been outside Canada aside from a few visits to the States (won’t be going there anymore) and once to Mexico, plus a cruise that visited Mexico and Cayman Islands. I’d love to travel to Europe, and Germany would be high on my list of places to check out. Maybe one day. Won’t be any time soon though unfortunately.
Germany is slowly on its way to go the US route at least when it comes to politics. White-presenting foreigners shouldn’t have to worry about being treated any different than your average Germany, but if you’re read as belonging to any minority group, depending on where you go, there are definitely people who won’t be liking you at the very least. More so in rural areas. Germany has been down that route before - just stop lol.
Though I doubt there’s any place you could go visit right where fashism isn’t on the rise
Yeah, the cruise was great. It was my first and so far only, I’d definitely do one again, as long as it doesn’t dock in the States at all.
I’m white as a sheet, blond hair and blue eyed, if I were a bit taller I’d be the poster boy for the Aryan race probably, so I think I’d be fine. Now if I were to discuss politics I might get in shit but I know how to keep my mouth shut when I need to. I’m not avoiding the States for fear of my life or anything, I’m the farthest thing from a visible minority, plus I’m married to a woman who could pass as being white and have a very white kid, so family trips wouldn’t be an issue either, I just refuse to go to a country that threatens my country’s sovereignty and is bringing about the fourth Reich. It’s more of a principle thing.
Yea makes sense. A buddy of mine moved from Ghana to Arizona for his master’s degree and got married there. I text him very rarely but last time I did, he mentioned that he’d need to watch out what kind of texts he’s sending to me because border control and stuff check phones. Absolute insanity. Plus he’s black so another thing he’d need to be mindful of.
Being white in the US is bad as is but being a minority is, as grim as it sounds, a death sentence in some cases. Dark times we live in. Somewhat sheltered in Germany in comparison.

Happy Skyrim day btw

Laughs in German >:D

Never been on a cruise before - must be cool!
