I'm always wishing there was more interaction and discussion on the niche Lemmy groups. Today I got to wondering if there were some games we could focus on to help foster our small community. But what is everyone playing or interested in playing? Are we all off playing our own obscure indie favorites or are there some games we share?

I main The Witcher 3 at the moment, with Skellige mostly done. It took me 4 separate attempts to finally make it that far. The game has a fantastic narrative and the quests backstories are really engaging, with great music to set the mood. Absolutely everything else, from combat, exploration, traversal to upgrades, economy and even UX, is sub-par and a massive chore. I've made it this far this time around only because of some mods.

If I'm in the mood for something lighter I'm playing Super Video Golf. Awesome arcade game emulating the nostalgic feeling of similar games from the 90s.

100% agree with your assessment of Witcher 3. It's gorgeous and well written but yeah the gameplay is so muddy and janky. I did make it through finally too and loved the Blood and Wine expansion dearly in spite of all that.

I'm going to bring Super Video Golf to my crew, that sounds like a nice distraction when we don't have the energy for another run in Nightreign.

What mods are you using? If I ever replay it I'll use an overhaul mod I think as I agree with you about the issues the game has. I know Ghost Mode exists as a "vanilla+" mod, but there are some other overhauls like W3eeRedux that go farther.

Nothing too invasive. Container Glow so I don't have to walk around the world with a paper weight attached to my right mouse button. Map Quest Objectives so I don't have to switch quests in the UI just to see that there's a quest objective 2m from me. And finally Over 9000 so I don't have to run back to my stash every 10 minutes.
