I still can’t get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

    Thanks for the info! I’m sure I got a ways to go until late game so I can hopefully still get see it.

    Sounds like I need to read up on affinity as well. I just got the house in Vernworth (after a rather messy arrest that took half my gold) awesome to hear that there’s other dynamics and systems around that.

    They really have built something that feels as well engineered as a souls game without the punishing difficulty. I’m trying to ascertain weak spots on the various big monsters now. As a Monster Hunter fan, it’s cool seeing that type of mechanic in another Capcom game!

    And yeah, they released a trailer at Summer Game Fest for a Dark Arisen expansion coming in October of this year. Looks pretty neat. I might be able to purchase a copy of this by then and jump in to that.

      Bro affinity is major. Drastically lowers the vendor prices, they can have rare items added to the shop, and people leave you gifts at your house. Even a few quests can have different outcomes depending on the involved NPC affinities. Some quests are even locked behind having certain NPC at high affinity for the later game.

      And oh hell yea! You have no idea how hyped I am to hear it’s the Dark Arisen expansion.

        Holy smokes. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll do some researching tomorrow and see how bad I’ve biffed so far not knowing about that.

        Thanks again!

        And I’ll be excited for dark arisen with ya despite not having any context.

          Nothing story breaking, so not too much worry. The quests are just some filler stuff involved in romancing certain notable storyline characters. Extra dialogue is just fluff stuff but is nice that’s it’s a thing.

          Those discounts and extra items though, that’s some good shit.

            As someone playing a copy borrowed form a library, I’m in for a good deal. Haha.

            Also, I like hidden mechanics. Especially when they’re surfaced through conversation instead of gamefaqs. This one has made me miss the old bloodborne subreddit a little less. Thank you friend!
