Getting off on being withholding.

Go on…

DOC's letter really hit home with me. I'm an accountant, and I really need to open up and stop feeling ashamed about my VAT accounting fetish. God, those monthly reconciliations get me so hot and bothered.

Have yourself a 4-years-late retrospective upvote mate.

I haven't played this game yet, but that's exactly how it felt in Frontier: Elite II

The blood splatters don't bother me as much as the "effects" on sustained abilities. You'll be trying to hold a conversation with a load of FX shit pouring off your character.

You're welcome.

I enjoy button-masher RPGs, but it's just a really nice change to play one that works more like an RTS. And there's also that sense of improvement by from really getting to understand the game mechanics. (Why yes, I *have* played a lot of Civilization II - however could you tell?)

I'm really sorry, and at the same time kind of glad for you that at least you know the score now. Good luck.

First couple of times I played through on console; it's ok, just that the lack of top-down view function makes it difficult to do positioning (especially of ranged AoE spells).

Yes, that was last year's playthrough (Harry Cousland, master swordsman etc. etc.). Frankly I felt a bit pathetic but having played it so often I thought it was about time to have that four-way. (Less pathetically, it was also my first Nightmare game, and I wasn't using any exploits or non-base game equipment).

GODDAMMIT KAREN, I AM NOT GETTING OUT OF THE CAR TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!

The screen size thing is a really weird with old games. Did we all just have tiny monitors, or we're we just used to playing with giant pixels?

Well look at Mr La-di-dah-fancy-man-who-actually-looks-at-the-mini-map over here!

The guy who gives you the fishing rod even says there's loads of them around here! And I was looking up advice on the fishing minigame and it just tells you how to play it and I could land anything other than rusty buckets and every time an actual fish caught the absolute best I could manage was to knock off a third…

Boooooo!

Oooh, ooh, a new DA:O player! *bursts with excitement*

I am currently playing Nier (Gestalt, rather than Automata). Recruited Kainé and have just arrived at Facade, so I'm guessing (from outline of a no-spoilers FAQ) that I'm maybe about halfway through the first part of the game.

"The problem is that at work, he is subject to random piss tests." - Is this something that happens a lot? I mean, other than for professional athletes and, I dunno, I guess maybe law-enforcement officials and, at a stretch, forklift operators.
