This save is old.

This game may or be very good.

And I’m done! A cool ending. The endgame isn’t as interesting as it should be and the game’s quest design is never good enough. Fun fights though and a really cool map to be in, as well as a cool actual ending sequence.

This end game is so conceptually cool. Seems like the last game’s map is hidden here? Very cool. Decayed and broken. That’s clever.

The not being able to save apart from marching time sucks, as the content is y dynamic enough or worth repeating. The quests are busywork and the content doesn’t match the structure.

So there’s a wild 40 hour in late title card hidden in the secret ending? Glad this game is mad. Was worried it wasn’t going to be.

Unmoored world cool but I r really hate fighting Saurians.

Unlocked the final vocation, which rules. Decides it’s endgame time. That colossus thing is cool but the fight is a pain. I’ve now done two endings — killed the dragon — now for the secret ending, which is goofily hidden in a way I like.

Empress assassination quest annoying. Scripted stuff has limitations but the wider game is great

Tried picking up a very old save… bad idea.

New playthrough was a great idea.

Love this.

Feels like they learnt what worked the best from the first game and designed with that in mind. More open, more built around that openness and from an age where sequels added complexity and depth rather than sanded these off.

Soft locked myself a few times, lots of reloading. But damn is this game awesome. Finished it up and just so satisfied by it.

I returned water! Stole that chip but also fixed their water and killed those super mutants.

I have the alien pistol. I also am about to join the Brotherhood of Steel.

Very very cool! Lots to get used to at the start and not sure how far I’ll get — very liberal walkthrough use the whole time, for sure.

Did Junktown and now I’m The Hub. Found the casino and how to get infinite money… heheheheh

And I’m away for a week so big session. Maxed out warrior and now onto magic spear hand. Fun main story stuff and some lovely exploration. Map is interconnected in cool ways. A ruined castle rose from the sea.

Exploring the woods. An amazing dungeon and then discovered the elven arbor… and the game’s language system and separate upgrade rules.

There’s so much here and it’s so great, and unshowy about its brilliance.

Wow.

I did the quest stuff to unlock the next area. Some nifty stuff in there but quest design isn’t in always in concert with gameplay design. Then I thought I’d explore the edges of the map…

That’s where cool stuff is. An ancient battleground; a ruined castle; a multi level dungeon…. A sphinx!!! Then into the misty marshes.

That was wild as my main pawn had fell. I just needed to find a way shrine to get him back. I plodded on. My other two pawns fell and then it was just me. I locked in and tanked a few desperate battles, fought my way out to a way shrine and headed back in as I needed main pawn for a quest.

Then I headed out again, boss in the marshes was cool, as was a dungeon that kept going. Now I’m in a malachite forest.

This game is special. The adventuring is incredible, the moments in between that come from the game’s decisions to create friction. Oh it rules.

Highlight today was a flight with a chimera that got gatecrashed by a lich… hard but awesome.

Did the thieves assault course, explored almost all the first area. Fought a gross dragon. Loada cool stuff. Now some main quests, I guess.

Oh, I levelled up fighter all the way and now am doing warrior… such a different game. Getting used to it.

Accidentally scrapped my best sword for fighter then it autosaved. Guess I’m staying as warrior.

At the end, I was chilling in capital and a cyclops attacked. Madness.

Love every moment playing this, just our adventuring, spiralling moments. You find lots of cool stuff while the world still has space. Some quests that make you actually engage your mind, too, not just follow the objective marker.

And I’m still so early, just been exploring and doing ephemera.

Level 22.

Played lots. Actually did some side quest stuff because I enjoy this world and game so much.

Quit for today on the final phase of the dragon fight. Good fight so far. Maybe a touch under levelled for it. .. we will see

I thought I couldn’t be arsed to walk all that way for that mission. The journey was worth it. Some amazing fights, even the unfair one with the archers.
