OT: General Video Game Discussion IX

Bard/wizard with 6th level spells.

Round 1:
-Action (spell) Mass Suggestion "It's no fun to dance alone, so start dancing when you see an ally dance"
-move: closer and hide (bonus action)

Round 2:
-Action (spell): Irresistible Dance on the enemy the others can all see.
-Bonus action (cantrip): Choice of Mage Hand and give the "BBG" the finger or Prestidigitation and add some music or light effects to go with the dancers.
-move: try not to fall over laughing.

Oh, that's good. Throw some Hideous Laughter on the guy leaning against the wall trying to act cool and we have a party

That would be 2 concentration needed with irresistible dance and hideous laughter. So hideous laughter after irresistible dance breaks.

Another use for mass suggestion (the duration on it is stupid long) is you slip it in during the inspirational speech something like "after we beat the BBG today we all go streaking though the room". Then you get 1st dibs on the BBG loot and a chance to go though your companions gear. It works with a chaotic or evil alignment. It makes for a good backstory as long as the spell is preloaded in a ring (or something) for a low level character offset.

The Bard class is boring to play so you need to really make your own entertainment with them.

Everybody dance now!

Does anyone play deckbuilder games? They are either hit or miss for me, with no middle ground.

humble bundle I'm considering this one but only "Gordian Quest" stands out to me as interesting.

Slay the Spire is the GOAT

This.

Also, some of the YouTubers I follow, that check out Indie games, have been playing Goblin Stone quite a bit.

Also Spire of Glory - I've played it a bit. Good way to waste a "few" hours.

I finished Forespoken. There might be some post game stuff to do, but I'm pretty done with the game. The story and the lore were good enough to keep me from quitting.

The world ended up too big for me due the lack of differing/interesting content. I turned it on easy mode for most of the open world stuff because the trash mob fights had turned into a tedious/repetitive slog. The main story stuff fights were decent. I should have just plowed though those instead of wandering around trying to do all the point of interest things (I should have quit on those much sooner).

I got my money's worth out of the game. I wouldn't put it on the "good games" list, but I also wouldn't put it on the "bad games" list. It'll just go collect dust on the games shelf with games I've beat but will probably never play again.

I can't wait for the PC port of Gost of Tshushima to get @Sad People take. I very rarely will replay a game that isn't a Fromsoft or straight action adventure game, but Ghost is an exception. Just a masterpiece IMO.

I look forward to playing it eventually. I wont be playing it on release unfortunately. I very rarely buy games on day 1 of release nowadays just because the gaming industry is pretty ***. I'll wait a few months after its (hopefully) had some updates then give it a whirl. Maybe i wont lol who knows it does look bad*** and since ive never played it i really look forward to it.

EDIT: Just to expand on this i dont even think im going to buy the new Hellblade on release either even if i fully trust and believe in Ninja Theory

Playing Wartales right now which im getting close to beating. Incredible game. Id recommend it to anyone but you gotta like turned based games.

Think im going to play Dredge and Last Epoch after i finish it. Dredge more of a cozy game i will play while listening to podcasts or the NHL/NBA playoffs.
