Neo is just
It's what he does.  In the warhammer thread he suggested the devs limited what territories a faction can occupy for some nefarious purpose and then lied about it being for lore reasons.
Whole quote for context.
If you're gonna sig it you should add in FD's bit too. The context makes for a good disclaimer.

Also, this game seems to have boomed, so it seems you were wrong to uninstall it, twice.

Why? I didn't enjoy it. Nor is popularity (well purchased copies) is really a reason to get anything.

Watchdogs is selling well and it was a bad game.

Because it doesn't really matter the situation involved.

I played watchdogs through and found it moderately enjoyable probably. No accounting for personal taste but if a lot of people like something I generally assume it's likeable.

I know I should be concentrating on the putdowns but this is kind of funny. "I liked it! maybe..."

Though in all fairness Watchdogs is so popular right now because of a 70% discount and Watchdogs 2 in spite being up for pre-orders isn't even making the top 10 on steam.

Woah woah, I'm happily arguing, but I'm not currently going for insulting.
I assumed you were tickled at having the forum recognise you as the king of skeptics.


However yeah I probably did enjoy watchdogs. It's similar to many open worldish city games.
I play it for two weeks, I finish, people go 'was it fun?' And I say 'I think I thought so a week ago.'

It's like Call of Duty.  Do you like open world steal a car and shoot a guy games?  Well, that's what this is, you've played it before if you liked it the first ten times you'll like it this time.

I REALLY didn't get that impression. I honestly took it as a direct insult.

Though I am very happy knowing you weren't intending it to be that way : 3

Right. Perhaps we should get back to more pressing matters.

Like, for example, how the Chaos generals are all wondering whether you're a god. Literally every single one of them. Also some goblins and orks. Are we gods? We don't actually do anything other than mind control hordes of people / things.

I'm also quite happy they brought back the voice lines when you poke enemy units that aren't yours. I missed this feature from Medieval 2.

Auto resolver adjusted-
Just in time for me to have nearly polished off the last few 'chivs.
Only very hard vamps to go, really.

It is possible the player is a god.

But do all the races available respond to gods? (let me see... Orcs yes, Humans yes, Chaos yes... Dwarves and Vampires? I actually don't know)

I originally thought the player was blind guy.
But then, blind guy keeps s'ing my D (seriously play chaos campaign for a cathartic thrill/spoilers), so I figure I'm probably grimgor or mannyvon.
But now I think about it not sure if archaeon inquires about my divinity.

There's the commenting on the status of the player's godhood, and there's also the warbeasts occasionally watching the camera, staring right back into your very soul. We are definitely something in the game, and since, you know, the metaphysical and the supernatural (as well as supranatural, it's like a whole 'nother level), we're probably some overseeing lesser god that changes depending on what faction we choose. Or maybe Khorne, because blood and skulls in every game.

Thank god (So me, according to some of the units in the game) they recognized the Auto Resolve issue.

Also, I've never noticed how bad Kemmler is compared to Mannfred, until a friend pointed it out. Mannie gets 2 different Lores, actual mounts, is way tankier, and starts with an enormous Bat-Werewolf thing that probably eats danger and sh*ts bullets. Doesnt really seem fair.

On a unrelated note, anyone up for some Coop? If yes, throw me a pm. The guy I usually play with doesnt like the Fantasy Setting and still plays Attila. Sad Stuebi.

From what they mentioned about the auto-resolve, making some units take less damage will end up with other units taking more since it simulates the battle and uses units like giants as main line attackers due to their tankiness. I would guess though that a unit of halberdiers taking more damage is preferable to a Steamtank.


One thing people were mentioning about Kemmler is that in the tabletop he has a wight king guard, Krell. I did rename a wight king and stick it with Kemmler in my game but having a guard ability where it reduces damage taken of a specific nearby unit would make the role as a bodyguard a bit more useful.
