BogusMeatFactory<p>Also, for reference, Morrowind has OVER 30 fighters guild story quests. They build the characters and politics climate of the organization. They have quests that interact with the rest of the world, and the other factions you can join. They interweave with each other.</p>
BogusMeatFactory<p>Also, a major issues skyrim has is that all of the guilds and factions are completed self contained and isolated from the rest of the world.</p><p>There is no interaction with the other factions and crossover to the story at large. They are the worst at setups and given mediocre payoffs that have no reaounding effects after the fact.</p><p>Nothing feels substantial.</p>
BogusMeatFactory<p>Me breaking down why Skyrim struggles narratively.</p><p>I join a guild. They send me on a randomized quest to punch someone. I do. I am then told that I&#39;ve been in the guild long enough to earn my keep and am asked to reclaim a holy relic. In doing so I uncover the super secret of the guild and I am now inducted into the upper echelon of their inner circle.</p><p>All I did was punch someone and then go in a dungeon. Their fighters guild equivalent has SIX STORY QUESTS.</p>
kdrnic<p>during this run I experienced this infinite loop in Metrollpolis Zone</p>
kdrnic<p>I finished Sonic 2 on the Mega Drive yesterday</p><p>I hadn&#39;t previously gotten into Sonic, and the limited continues seemed daunting, but this was a great, epic experience</p>
Mr Creosote<p>First observation in <a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/DemonsWinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DemonsWinter</span></a>: interesting character creation system! I usually dislike these. Typical RPG issue: how should I know before playing the game what kind of characters I will need? There are classes I can&#39;t even imagine how they will play, such as &quot;visionary&quot; or &quot;scholar&quot;. There is also a skill system which is clearly out of the ordinary. It doesn&#39;t invalidate my usual issue, but for sure it makes me look forward to exploring the system.</p><p><a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/SSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SSI</span></a><br /><a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amiga</span></a></p>
Mr Creosote<p>I&#39;m going to play <a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/DemonsWinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DemonsWinter</span></a>. Bought it ~25 years ago on a flea market, never played it. It&#39;s a pre Gold Box RPG from <a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/SSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SSI</span></a>. I understand it&#39;s also the sequel to another game (&quot;Shard of Spring&quot;), but familiarity with that one is not required. The box came with no manual, but I found the one which goes with it here: <a href="https://archive.org/details/demons-winter-top-shots-1993-ibm-pc-german-budget-floppy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/demons-win</span><span class="invisible">ter-top-shots-1993-ibm-pc-german-budget-floppy</span></a> .

Wouter<p>Does anyone have experience with contributing to projects still living on GitHub but working on Codeberg as much as possible instead?</p>
Jarno<p>Kunnen we het lekken van privé apps gewoon sabotage van het formatie proces noemen? Dank.</p>
Space Quest Historian<p>My first impressions of Greta Sees Ghosts, a cutesy little cartoon game about capturing ghosts while carrying a very loud clanking lantern. <a href="https://youtu.be/rTTPzvOUQGw" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/rTTPzvOUQGw</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://dosgame.club/tags/adventuregames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adventuregames</span></a></p>
Michael<p>I uhhhh wish there were a whole lot more games journalists not covering Call of Duty because of the Microsoft boycott</p>
Martijn Frazer<p>It sure is cool* how with every software update you now have to dig through the settings to see if they&#39;ve added AI bullshit that&#39;s turned on by default.</p><p>*not cool</p>

Space Quest Historian<p>Rednex&#39;s publisher has decided that me playing their game, which included 10 seconds of their music in-game, was not &quot;fair use.&quot; Even though it quite clearly is. Another case of YouTube&#39;s copyright system being absolutely broken as fuck.</p><p>I have no choice but to relinquish monetization of that video.</p><p>Fuck you, Rednex. Your music sucks, your publisher sucks even more, and I&#39;m glad I called you a bunch of imbeciles in my video.</p>
Michael<p>Enjoyed the audiobook of Tim Curry’s memoir and it was nice to hear him bring up Muppet Treasure Island and Red Alert 3 (?!). Hoped for a Gabriel Knight mention since doing video games was brought up* but it was not meant to be</p><p>*doesn’t get them but thinks it’s fun being in front of a green screen</p>
yozy<p>Staring at an uninspired 403 page at work.</p><p>I remembered the time when I discovered how to define custom error pages in apache and spend days making the coolest ones.</p><p>It feels like these days with mostly client rendered pages nothing is really non-existing.</p>
Lunar 🛸 ♾<p>Since doing the Alien Detector app, I&#39;ve been daydreaming about an RPG based on the idea of tracking aliens, with references to all the UFO conspiracy theories and stuff. I think that&#39;d be fun!</p>
Martijn Frazer<p>are you KIDDING me</p>
Wouter<p>Still playing through the campaign of The Dark War. In the last episode now, and some of the levels are beyond confusing. Thankfully someone recorded them all on YouTube. It&#39;s still fun though!</p>
Space Quest Historian<p>Come watch me spend an hour trying to figure out if I&#39;ve been suckered into playing an AI slop adventure game. <a href="https://youtu.be/aIH8xOophvc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/aIH8xOophvc</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
