Got lost in the dark, lantern doesn't work for crap, really wish for some form of night vision. Thought a cliff was actually just a short hillside, should have checked my map. Fell to my death.
Before that, eaten by a dragon I came across in the wilderness.
Before that, chimera and saurians very nearly wiped the entire party in the middle of the forest, at night. Had to revive everyone a dozen times mid fight, killed the idiot I was supposed to escort. Used every potion, every consumable...
Before that, stabbed in the buttocks by bandits.
Before that, tried to charge a harpy, too close to cliff, fell to my death.
Before that, harpies ganked party with their song or what's it, everyone fell asleep and got torn apart.

Dragons' Dogma; Dark Arisen. This game forgives no mistake. I've also fallen off of waterfalls, had my entire party blown off a cliff by boulders and had to chase them down, nearly killing myself on the shortest available slope (there were no other options) been eaten by wolves, and been eaten by saurians. Many times. And then that one time I attempted what I think might be the expansion content, and the goddamn grim reaper himself impaled me for my hubris.

The Reaper threesome sure is brutal, you have the Banshees to instakill you if you don't stop running, you have the Brutes to block off any escape routes so you get instakilled by the Banshees, and you have the Ravagers to 3 hit kill you if you are just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Oh look, it's a Muton Berserker accompanied by two normal Mutons. Let's take care of that Berserker; Gunner, get around the side and fill him with le-What's that? You triggered another pod of Mutons plus Berserker? Oh dear.

Okay, still manageable. Everybody, retreat towards the UFO, we can bottleneck 'em the-Oh, there's two more Berserkers hiding in the ship.

Well fuck.

Retreating towards the enemy stronghold sounds like a really poor tactical decision, in my humble opinion.

As usual, I neglected my secondary and minor skills in favor of my primary skills. So now, I die every few encounters because I'm forcing myself to use an axe when I only have 13% Axe skill, and 42% Long Blade.

EDIT: Accepted a quest to kill harpies. It seemed like a silver weapon would be good enough. Turns out, it is completely ineffective. The lesson here is "When asking 'will the game really be that much of a dick', the answer is always yes."

Finally found the abduction target.  Silly grey had hidden... inside a nuclear reactor coolant tower?  A bit smaller than I'd expected, with a walkable interior and access ladders.  Speaking of ladders, the Reticulan and its hidden friend opened fire while my soldier was still on the ladder.  I ordered him down to wait for backup, and... well, he did exactly that.  A critical hit knocked him off the ladder, and then everything went down.  First, the framerate went down to frames-per-minute.  Then the soldier went on an impromptu visit to the earth's mantle, far below the earth.

I had told him to fall back for backup...  He fell, and I loaded the backup save.

I kinda assumed that since most of the enemies were outside said stronghold having a party that the UFO would be a little emptier.

It was a little emptier! Not by much, but every little helps.

But isn't the inside of the UFO where you will find Outsiders/Sectoid Commanders/Ethereals/whatever? If you're having trouble dealing with the already-active enemies, why risk triggering the high-leveled stuff as well?

[Niccolo]

Haha, It was a medium UFO and I was nowhere near the spot where the Outsiders were. That entrance area is pretty much always empty, I've never seen a pod of enemies in there - except for this one time.

I looked at it on youtube because I was curious and now I wish I didn't. That was probably the most disturbing thing I've seen in my life. :c

Has anyone tried to do something like that in DF before? I bet we can replicate it.

Every time I play solo on my friend's minecraft server I find myself in comical straits.

I needed some nether quarts for thaumaturgy stuff so I headed down to the forbidden zone of my tower (Yes, I have a wizard tower.  It's sweet as fuck.  I'll post some screenshots once I unfuck myself) and went through the portal.  The problem with the portal is that my friend who lives nearby also has a nether portal and because we're too close to each other the portals are linked.  His isn't hidden in a shell of obsidian in the double-secret underbasement of a floating tower, so a creeper got inside and blew up when I went through, killing the portal.

Do you have any idea how shitty it is to find yourself in a place literally made of fire with no means to start one on demand?  I did my errands and then killed myself in front of the portal (We use a gravestone mod so I can take as long as I need to get my stuff back), heading back through with a sword and some flint and steel.  Except, of course, the portal exit's gone.  So now I find myself on a plain of ash something like a kilometer away from my stuff, and unlike the other portal this one isn't fortified.  And I'm naked.  And hte game's lagging.  So now I have to wait for the game to get its shit together, then get my shit together, and battle my way across hell to get to the portal and relight it.  Then I have to go back across with my enchanted broom (I'm also a witch) and deactivate the other portal.

All because of a fucking creeper holy fucking shit I hate creepers.  THey don't kill me anymore, that's not the problem.  It's that they fuck up literally everything.  They leave giant holes everywhere, they destroy the shit you're making, they're just terrible.

This, all of this. I don't want a mod that removes the creepers, I want a mod that makes them suffer and die.
