I minmaxed my character for combat as best I know how. I picked a class that had only combat skills in all of the major and minor slots, as a Nord, and acquired some armor pretty early on in Privateer's Hold. Human enemies (archers, thieves, etc) are still able to kill me in seconds with a three-hit combo that never fails and drains all of my HP.

Rather pointless taking every single combat skill. Pick one or two, save the rest for magic or jumping/climbing(which are required to complete the game).


Recent death: Had an unwanted vore scene with the final boss, due to failing a QTE which requires you to attack the boss' weakpoints with nearly no ability to aim whatsoever.

Your avatar goes very well with that.  It goes well with many things.

7 Days to Die kept rampantly memory-leaking, and crashing my video card, when I played on my friend's server.  So I decided to try single player.
Holy crap so many zombies near every building.  On the server there seemed to be remote houses every half mile or so, here there were just deathtraps.

Plus it kept putting me in a desert flanked on one side by a burnt/burning forest, and on the other by a fucking nuclear wasteland which looked like a wet grassland.  Died 3 times to that before realizing the biome was killing me.

Eventually holed up in a town.  Low max HP due to repeated deaths, but they didn't seem to sense me in the attic of the house I chose as my base.  Around 2AM I got bored of waiting, and went downstairs to peer out a window. 

Yeah, you think you know where this is going.  But I was ready.  There was a zombie constantly attempting the angled jump from the porch to the open window I used to enter.  It kept failing.  Somewhat amused, I shot some arrows at it.

Suddenly there were three zombies in the room, right in front of me.  There was no breach, they teleported.  In single player.

Oh yeah and I was playing on the pregenerated map, this wasn't even the RNGs fault.  Though sometimes it did drop me in an arctic waste which also flanked the nuclear death swamp

I'm very sorry to hear about your unfortunate purchase, well at least there's steam refunds.

Oh, dang that was kinda negative wasn't it?
I've actually had quite a bit of fun with the game online, despite all the strobing crashes and memory issues.  And the questionable single player balance (I didn't even get to the *hard* part...)

Heck most of the problem is probably my video card.  Fallout 4 had been doing something similar.  Every 2-5 hours all the textures which go pastel and the models would start stretching to hilarious degrees.  It's actually kinda funny, not really playable until I restart though.  If I looked at just the right angle, the landscape would mostly return to the proper state...

But yeah I think it's my video card.  I guess it's about 3 years old now.  Fortunately it's only screwed up on those two games so far.

I'd love to play Wesnoth with you guys one day ._. It's pretty much one of the rare games I can actually play...stably.



This is mid-game, in space, with me controlling a nice spacecraft-carrier, heading over into alien territory to appease them. An enemy Thor [supercarrier which is basically a mobile hangar] is my only enemy, and several tens of levels below my ships--I thought it was easy. Combine a mix of being locked down by stasis fields, proton torpedoes breaking the hull, a swarm of tiny fighter/drone craft flinging those torpedoes [that my point-defense system can't actually help with despite its usefulness :x], and I lost the battle just as it started. In ten seconds.

I'm glad this game has a timer :D
But I'll be back...

When my strategy of "stick to the left-hand wall like an obsessed lunatic" failed, I started picking turns at random, following a trail of unopened doors and unkilled monsters. This was how I came to the bane of all my early-game characters, the flooded tunnels. I naively thought that there would surely be at least one air pocket or unflooded room that I could reach with my character's pitifully low Swimming skill. I thought wrong.

At one hitpoint during Papyrus' final attack(I think). Didn't make one of the last(I think) jumps.

One of the easiest Alteration spells you can make is a short duration Water Breathing spell if I recall.

A wand, Lady Audrey, and me.

We both struck each other down in our final throes.
