Agreed. The companions in Pillars of Eternity aren’t bad or anything, but their rep as “tour guides with supped up personalities and backstories” isn’t far off either. As you note, their major personal journeys resolve in very much a “Choose Your Companion’s Own Adventure” kind of way. You’re not interacting in a…
Last time I posted here, I made the half-serious comment that Fallout 4 might just be a better game than Fallout 3. And it is so, so very close to being true for me.
Iowans really can’t hold their liquor.
I’ll miss their chocolate chip cookies.

So i got a Fallout 4 CD Key on Steam for like $5.99 and it’s the best value you can get in modern gaming especially now that Fallout 4's in a state where modding has eclipsed Skyrim in terms of potential, quality and quantity.
That’s nice and all, but I don’t really see that there’s much room in the Dishonored fiction for a group of PCs to be running around doing stuff.

Dude’s name was Roofman and he would saw a hole in a McDonald’s franchise (frequently the roof) and drop in to rob it.

Yet another small gaming week for me, real life can get fun (several birthdays this past week plus NaNoWriMo kind of sucking my non work time up)...
I’m a little surprised to hear that assessment: my memories of my level 30 ranger/sniper character are of how obnoxiously overpowered the Broken Steel monsters were: how I could dump clip after clip after clip of ammo into them and barely scratch them at all. At the beginning of the game, I could just casually stroll…

Gary?! Gary. Ahh.. Gary! Gaa-ryy! Gary. Hodor Gaarry!
My experience of Fallout:New Vegas on the PS3 wasn’t so much that it had a bug near the end, as it just kept grinding to a halt because it was carrying so much weight. For a time I ended up playing it in five minute increments before it would inevitably crash.
I can wholeheartedly guarantee you will not be disappointed in this regard. I got to say “I’m sorry” everywhere. The game keeps a tally of your stance in the 4 given quadrants of character types (Superstar Cop/Apocalypse Cop/Boring Cop/Sorry Cop & Communist/Fascist/Ultra Liberal/Moralist), and my Sorry Cop meter was…
