It's pretty great so far. It's easily the most polished non-FromSoft souls like I've played. The weapon system is a lot of fun to muck around with and try new movesets, and it's fairly free with the upgrade materials, so you can try many different weapons. It definitely takes some getting used to, and it starts off feeling more punishing than some of its peers. But the game really wants you to mix Perfect guards and dodges, not just rely on one. Once that clicks it feels really nice to play

Baldur's Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It's quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I've got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it's quite short so maybe I'll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

I've just dipped my toes into Darktide on xbox gamepass. I love the visceral, impactful feel to melee combat so far. I have been playing with one friend so have come afoul of the lack of communication with others that don't chat, but so far have found it to be acceptably stable in terms of gameplay

I'm sorry but it's an awful, ugly, science runabout... that's its. I may be biased because I hate the design...

The 'smart, sexy, emotionally intelligent expert' to 'maniacal space pirate' heel turn was glorious!

Very similar here. I'm also a druid and was partying with Karlach (barb/fighter), Astarion (rogue/ranger), and Gale (evocation). But i switched out Gale for Shadowheart (light cleric) at the same point as you and haven't looked back. Having Wyll would've been better as I had noone with decent Charisma.

I really should respec out of Moon druid to land or something because its been incredibly disappointing and without Shadowheart I was just playing support and CC, but I just want to wild shape dammit!

She starts off pretty acerbic with a clear bias toward Data, but they were definitely going for a character arc with her and she started having some character growth as the season went on. She later encourages and supports Data when he's having a mini crisis about losing at stratagema, and she takes an innoculant so she can drink the poisonous tea Worf offers her. Then they brought back Bev and we never got to see it really pay off. Then for ages Crusher is barely anything more than set dressing and a 'will they won't they' relationship for Picard. I always thought Pulaski was a more interesting character than Crusher and the show would have been better for keeping her.

This has blown my mind. Dark Place referenced in Trek!? I know it's gained some cult following but it still feels like an largely unknown and underappreciated time-capsule of comedy. I genuinely didn't realise anyone 'across the pond' had come across it.
