I was going to also try to delve into the Combat Mission WWII series for the first time ever.

Excellent!

YES! Impressions Slapdog, please. Everybody's got some good CM War Stories to tell. :bd:

Where the hell did SlagDog go? We need answers dammit.

Myrmidon -- How about a short (or long) review of the Imperator Rome update and DLC when you have a chance.

I'm somewhat interested in the title and I value the opinions of the posters here more than those of Steam reviewers.

If he's dipping his toes into the CM WW2 series for the first time, we might not see him til next week's thread. :hide:

I have also become interested in Imperator lately - it's been on sale @ Fanatics and Green Man this week.

I started up a playthrough of Mafia II for the first time with a few mods -- namely the restored radio mod, better gun sounds, and historically accurate billboard ads and car names. Never did play this when it came out but it's very strong GTA style game with a nicely classic Goodfellas/Godfather style story and characters. Looking forward to seeing the timeshift between 1940s and 1950s and how it affects the world, music, cars, etc.

LOL, Well I literally played Skyrim ALL weekend. I've been working through the Forgotten Dungeons mod and Falksaar. Falksaar is well put together but I find the story so far not as engaging as some of the great story writing in the main game, like the town stories Morthal and Windhelm being some of my favorites. But that world map in Falksaar makes my eyes bleed. With all of the effort and time that went into making such great content why use such a hidious world map?!? The Forgotten Dungeons that I have played so far have been a mixed bag. I'm into the gigantic Dwermer dungeons that take hours to play through. And it's a bonus if you throw in the nasty Falmer/charaus into the mix - nasty buggers.

This playthrough I decided to be a Loyalist to Ulfric and kill any imperial troops on the roads between cities. LOL That didn't last long. Even though I was able to destroy the Imperials I soon learned that trying to enter any town got me KOS from any town guards Imperial or Stormcloaks alike. So I reloaded a previous save and played less aggressively towards the Imperials just so that I would not have every town empty of guards lol. It takes me forever to play through an area because I pick every flower and look in every burial jar. I love enchanting, alchemy and raising my skill at the forge the old fashion way so it takes a while for me to complete any one area. I also just do enough of the main quest to kick off the dragons so that they provide me with Dragonbone for armor later in the game.

During breaks I would think "Yeah I gotta buy Combat Mission." Then hours later after playing Skyrim, think "Yeah I gotta buy Combat Mission", etcetera, etcetera. I was definitely binging on Skyrim this weekend. And it was a blast! No regrets! With all of the environmental and mesh mods that have kept the games graphics up to date, the game is just so beautiful and still very fun to play. But like all binging who knows how long it will last.

My next foray will be checking out Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, although I haven't found all of the Forgotten Dungeons yet so I'll not start that until I have finished the Forgotten Dungeons.

^Thanks 'Dog. Have you checked out Enderal? This will be my next RPG dive:

Water back up and running today. Discovered it was under the utility room where someone who had lived here prior had apparently took a weekend and a case of beer and plumbed it out. Was a weak joint that probably froze a bit and broke apart. Plumber had us back in water in about an hour and it only cost me $132. Was extremely happy with getting the water back and the price he charged.

Sir Slash · February 22, 2021, 07:54:40 PM

Good for you. It's not often you get a break with plumbers. :clap:

Toonces · February 22, 2021, 10:22:05 PM

Dude, you dodged a bullet there. Congrats!

30 to 125 hours of game play - HOLY! That looks really cool! Added to the list. I'm wondering if I can buy the soundtrack but run the SSE version of the game. I'll have to look into that. I don't see why not as the sound track is not connected to the new graphics engine that SSE runs on. But who knows.

I got on last night and lost about 4 hours of gameplay to a corrupted save. The save list wanted to take me back to when I was level 4 (I was currently at level 32). The nice thing about Skyrim is that if I've been through the content I'm not to sad to lose levels as I don't mind rolling up a new character and playing through content I haven't played through yet.

Thinking about it I could run TWO copies of Skyrim and play Enderal AND my current playthrough. LOL its a mental illness for sure ;D

Gusington · February 24, 2021, 08:56:19 PM

^I just posted a dedicated thread to Enderal: Forgotten Stories. Just for you! Don't tell anyone. Enderal is standalone now, btw.

We are all mental here.
