I was late to the party with Skyrim, too; it took longer to click, cause I played and loved Fallout 4, first, and couldn't stop comparing them (I normally prefer fantasy to sci-fi, so it was a weird preference for me).
Now I have 2 Skyrim platinums and I just received a Skyrim boardgame for my birthday. When it finally clicked, it clicked HARD 😅
My modded variant: local trader left to die on an ashen rock. And every resident is saying weirdly creepy things and building a giant shrine no one remembers. (ASLAL on Solstheim. The amount of “omfg RUN NOW” is fun on this run.)
I suppose, then, the question is: Which Monster Hunter? Do you like to hunt them in ultra-realistic environmental graphics? Perhaps you could tell us the weapon(s) you prefer? World/Iceborne was my introduction to the series, and my favourite; I can't wait for the new one.
oh yeah that's more fun!
ok so i hunt monsters mainly by latching on to the monsters and jamming my sword-contraption that's two times bigger than me and then release colourful glowing energy into the monster... oh and then i get flinged off by the explosion.
Ding ding ding!
I play the 64 version every morning on the Switch while listening to [this Boiler Room set by Nasthug](https://youtu.be/BFQ8gqvkjz8?si=3RwEqpCQrxmNmOis). I try to do at least one set and a mini crossword before the day starts. It fends off my existential dread and might help prevent dementia.
There’s a giant hole in the sky but before I deal with that I’ve got to go on a bunch of fetch quests, fix local politics, and flirt relentlessly with whoever will allow it.
Yep! It’s my first ever play through of the series, I’ve just played them all in order and I’m so close to the end of DA:I, trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible and also not wanting the game to end.
Can’t believe I waited so long, I’ve been having such a great time playing them. But it means I’ll have the shortest wait ever for the next game!
Happy for you. I love the DA games (and also Mass Effect, kinda similar). Don't forget to play Trespasser, the DLC is kinda the highlight of DAI.
And there is always next time, try a different class and take different companions (for different and fun party banter) with you make different choices. The games will always stay with you 💜
There’s an invasive species of deer threatening to overtake the Bay Area of my new home so I use (illegal) magic arrows to help take their numbers down. Sometimes I stop and pray to my frog god before I got out that he may bless me with rare and exotic findings on my adventure. Sometimes he even blesses me with miniature, plush versions of my kills. Praise be to frog god!
maybe too specific but:
accomplished doctor in a magical girl costume tries to keep safe four hyperactive toddlers with guns while they ignore their objective.
Yeah, 5 vengeance. There’s a couple mods to be a girl too so I had to download those, but they still refer to you as young man which kinda irritates me.
The whole company was shut down for two days and when I returned to work, I spent over an hour doing clerical work in my office while all my coworkers were already halfway through their jungle adventure.
I’ve got 2
Rebellious teen son with daddy issues trashes his dads place as he’s trying to leave, beating up all the staff, and then his own father just so he can go spend a few minutes with his mom. And his extended family is helping him
Young woman, raised in the woods by a crazy woman, goes to war with her granddad because he’s being petty to punish his children for going no-contact.
I'm needing to grow up quick since my mom died but my dad keeps grumbling and calling me boy. It's all gotten so confusing and my life so much more complicated
my grandpa died so now I’m responsible to manage his overgrown, empty farm. i now live in a small town with an old mayor who doesn’t do shit, so I also have to do his job, like fixing the community center and bus stop. also he hooks up with a villager behind bushes… (i found his purple shorts in her bedroom)
Local politicians claim they have debunked decorated soldier’s claim of future doomsday event, then do nothing when evidence begins piling up that the soldier predicted correctly.
I’m going through the jungle. I keep getting leeches on my arms. I have to dig them out or I’ll lose my sanity. My wounds got infected. I got a fever and started having hallucinations.
Italian man goes on a journey across the country to find rainbow colored rocks while fighting aliens
(Edited the comment due to potential spoilers of the game)
A woman goes on a rampage searching for parts of a futuristic ChatGPT through California & Nevada while meeting locals and fighting anarchists/ evolved AGD products.
Some gods found a thing corrupting other gods, one freaked out, went crazy, and now we deal with the fallout of his tantrum, on the most important planet that is our home
I was forcibly drawn into a twisted countryside family, and now I must survive the horrifying events that plague me while desperately searching for my missing girlfriend.
Creepy cryptid holds me captive in its basement eternally looping my existence until I beat a game of custom edgelord yu gi oh. At which point reality becomes 16 bit and we begin to spiral into deeper meta commentary similar to DHMIS.
My other obsessions:
Woman leaves island in search of family who betrayed her and her brother to die because an oracle said to kill the younger sibling, on a ship, during a historically very bloody war.
I slowly go insane removing grime from various objects, while cackling. Bonus for being precise.
Edit: oops I forgot one. Young shield bearer is thrust into being a hero, like it or not, because everyone else is dead or turned to stone. Bonus: the fights want to be Soulslike, but they’re not.
The princess of the kingdom left me alone, when the demon king awakes, to live her best furry dreams, and now I gotta save the people completely on my own
Also I gotta collect 900 pieces of poop to get a bigger backpack
Just a girl traveling frequently to solve mysteries that no one else can seem to figure out. Sometimes they lead me to tunnels (ok 9/10 times there’s a tunnel)
Game 1: Amnesiac retraces their steps after waking up, on the way discovers they're a hoarder of basic elements.
Game 2: After frailing my arms about for what felt like half an hour, I now dislike the song Free Bird.

Game 1 hint 1: I look up to the stars often.
