I got Battle Brothers in the sale and have not been able to put it down. Excellent turn based tactical game.
I'm pretty tempted to pick up Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Any of you guys play that one?
Is it an rpg in the same vein as Pillars of Eternity, or is more action-y? Couldn't really decide from the trailers. I'm hoping for a character and story driven rpg, with more compelling combat than PoE which seems a bit dry to me.I also bought it a few days ago, but only tried it for around a half an hour or so,still can't in due conscience give an proper opinion.

I don't believe one still utilizes spark plugs of any brand let alone AC that far in the future.I'm buying new AC. :|
(and no, not Assassin's Creed)
Just picked it up with all the dlc, along with all the dlc for Kingdom Come. And Resident Evil 2. I'm weak.It's more action-y. No turn based combat, it's always real time. It also seemed more click-festy and less tactical than Pillars of Eternity or Divinity Original Sin, but this can be a pro or a con, depending on personal preference.

I found it quite excellent too. But there is always this hike in the campaign after a certain point when just OP stuff spawns on you. I dunno, tried to figure out to delay it but I gave up in the end,I got Battle Brothers in the sale and have not been able to put it down. Excellent turn based tactical game.
I completely agree concerning Bioware and Dragon Age: Origins. That was a fantastic game, followed up by the utter decline of a once proud, groundbreaking development studio. I won't even glance at a Bioware game anymore.In case you never played it, Dragon Age: Origins is an exceptional character and story driven RPG, made by Bioware. The best in the series by a huge distance, before the EA virus set in and they started dumbing down (and PC'ing down) their games (and before the original bioware team left).
Even though it already has EA "stickers" (in the loading screen), is it still a game by the old school Bioware, made by the original Bioware devs, and written by the old Bioware writers. It has all the great things we once expected from a Bioware game, great characters, epic story, great gameworld. In fact DA: Origins is, in my opinion, Bioware's Magnum Opus, their top creation, it all started to go downhill fast since then.
In other news: I just played through the opening "prologue" of Kingdom Come Deliverance and my opinion is "Holy hell, what a strong start!" Too early to say what I think of all the gameplay systems, but what I've seen so far is awesome, and the story is the most powerful start to any RPG I've ever seen, without exception...probably an understatement, really. I've never played any video game that stirred the same kinds of emotions as when I first watched Braveheart all those years ago, but this game's prologue just pulled off that feat and then some. Can't believe this one has been languishing in my Steam Library utterly ignored for the last year or so since it first released.
Just play, I always find games much more fun figuring them out for myself, than watching utub, or reading about them.Finally jumped the gun, and got myself Stellaris with a bunch of expansions. Boy this game is complex!
I feel I'm going to need some starting tips!
