Last week I did a music thread.
This time I thought it was time for a gaming thread. What's everyone playing?
I've been playing Dungeon Deathball, a fun little indie roguelike sports/puzzle/tactics game. That in turn makes me want to get back into Blood Bowl 2. Also played a little bit of Slay the Spire, recently.
Recently finished Astlibra on the recommendation of someone from here. Very enjoyable but the last chapter / end game was meh.
Currently playing Pathfinder WOTR with the wokeless mod and it has been great, an actual "return to form". I've not finished one playthrough and I'm already thinking about my next one.
Wokeless mod, you say? Tell me more.
I bounced off both pathfinder games pretty hard. They seem very needlessly overcomplicated.
Is on basemods. Is not even half-assed, it replaces character portraits, voice and dialogue.

Is there a similar mod for Baldur's Gate 3?
No bundle but rather several mods that you can install. You can de-diversify the game and even make your companions not be gay. There is also a mod that replaces Dame Aylin with Ser Aylin. If you want you can also make Wyll white.
Honestly, I understand the hype but BG3 will never work for me. The story itself is bad and they ruined the Illithid lore. There's also stuff that I hated where like the game clearly wanting you to chose certain path just because either feminism or race or the fact that Jaheira is just a skinsuit, nothing about her is Jaheira.
That was probably me, and I only know about it because someone else on this board made me aware of its existence in a thread about games that weren't doing the whole ugly modern art thing. It really is a hidden gem.
It was great. One of the best new games in recent years. My objections come to the last chapter, or not even sure what that was, when you go again in all the areas and then do random dungeons and the final boss was incredibly meh. Not to mention the story did not make sense.
Anyway. Remove that and it was a great game.
All I know is that the gameplay was some of the best in the business, there were pretty anime girls and that when the credits finally rolled I felt emotionally drained in a good and that there are very few games that can achieve that.
I really need to pick up the Gaiden that came out earlier this year at some point.
