Finished Chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was trying to do the side missions before going for the story mission but had very high level enemies around, so after trying that for a while, went for the main mission.
Have just started chapter 4. Going to explore and do the side content now.
Also played some Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
Game is progressing well, but I think I’ll get tried or bored of it. Just not feeling much enjoyment playing it.
I shared most of my feelings a few back, but one annoying aspect I missed was loot system. Each companion has their own loot, which I find a bit annoying. In DA: Inquisition, I played as fighter, but any non-fighter equipment, or light / medium armor I had, I equipped it to my companions, even heavy armor that I wasn’t wearing went to them, same with weapons. But now all that extra loot is useless. Feels very restrictive in an RPG, and it made me lose interest in loot quickly enough.
Well, that’s about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
My favorite part of finishing a chapter in Xenoblade Chronicles X is how your view of just about everything seems to shift after whatever twist gets thrown at you. I’m finished with Chapter 6, too, but my levels aren’t high enough to get Skell licenses for a full party yet. That’ll be soon. (I spend too much time on side quests, too)
I finished all of the character stories for the 135 characters I’ve unlocked in Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent! I’m still delaying on the main storyline (about three chapters from the end, I think), so I’m goofing off in Side Solista, the OT2 story they brought into the game. This mobile game is one of those where a character writes you a letter every day you play with a little login bonus. I just passed 880 days playing! Most days are just log in and do a battle for some in game currency. Gosh, I’d love it if they “completed” this game and put a full, non-pay version out. I’m thinking like that Mega Man X Dive game where a mobile game closed down and they converted it to a full console experience. But they’d have to do that after the game ends, and I don’t want that, either. Shucks.
I’m headed to a friend’s house to play some board games. I’m going to push for Castles of Mad King Ludwig, but I’m betting I’ll get out-voted. I’m sure I’ll play something fun.
Shouldn’t doing the side quests increase the level quickly? I am currently doing the Affinity missions after the Chapter 3 story mission. It’s fun solving problems and just exploring.
I am looking for a new board game to play with family. We have Catan, Dominion, Carcassone etc, looking to add something new. Any suggestions?
