I'm usually against class changing people out of their starting class (not counting promotions). But the Villager class is literally made with that in mind, so I saw no issue with turning Mozu into an archer with a Heart Seal. She was mediocre, compared to her time as a villager. And then I finally completed the free DLC with Chrom and Lissa alive, and thus got the bonus items. I saw that the Great Lord class that was unlocked by one of them used Lances, and wanted Mozu to be viable again, so I used the item on her.

Cue the next fight and her single-handedly wrecking promoted units that my (former) best units could only kill with support from several other units. Found my new best unit.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

After many many adventures (IE combat encounters, calling Ascension Peak and the Rapax areas a slog is a gross understatement) my party has ascended to the Cosmic Circle and killed the Dark Savant (yes that is his name and no, it doesn't make much more sense in-game) and accidentally destroyed the universe. It's all cool though, we're making a new one with ghost preevilification-Savant man. All in all, for what was apparently supposed to be a escort job for some dude, pretty good deal if you forget all the murder and pain.

Utterly destroyed a Difficult abduction mission. The enemy couldn't do anything once my sniper could see them via Squad Sight, and the last two tried to hide behind a brick wall. Thanks to my heavy's upgraded rockets, that wall wasn't around for long.

XCOM. I see what people mean when they say Squad Sight is overpowered :o

It's mostly that there's no aim penalty for it, so the snipers get the bonus of their weapon's optimum range on anything with Squadsight. They nerfed it in 2 by giving it an aim penalty the further away they get, but even then it can be compensated for by height advantage and scopes.

My first time playing the game and I wanted to see if I could figure out how to tame a critter without looking up how to on google.  I already had some basic stuff, so I figured it was a good as a time to try as any.  After I successfully tame one (or give up)  I was going to look up how you actually do it and see how I did.

Spoiler: my steps taken (click to show/hide)

In short I did indeed successfully tame a critter (in the most inefficient and worst way possible) and then immediately got it killed.   I'm still calling that an own since I did it all without looking up how.

Ark Survival evolved. (singleplayer til I know what I'm doing)

The last enemy base on the map was the tribal keep of the free mutants.  They'd attempted to attack multiple times by setting up hidden camps to use as supply bases to reach my headquarters, but each time I located and bombed them, then bombed the army and engaged.  Unfortunately, one of the generals, a geneticist named Mycorr, escaped his defeat.  Not only that but he escaped with a dangerous creature called a Mauler, a huge dinosaur that not only has the highest attack value possible but attacks twice and does double damage.  Since his failed offensive, Mycorr healed the beast back up in the keep and recruited a large number of decent mutants, mainly giant Skull Crushers.  The keep was located at the top of a mountain, with tunnels dug into it, giving it a ridiculous defense bonus (every defender would gain half the possible defense value on top of their normal defense).

Fortunately the AI isn't that bright and had Mycorr patrolling instead of sitting in the keep for a final stand.  My forward air controller saw that there were only two units of very weak mutants defending the base.  First, I launched multiple bombing runs on the defenders.  Then, in the same turn, my main army with six units of Imperial Marines (human soldiers with power armor and jetpacks) air attacked into the keep, easily overwhelming the heavily wounded and outnumbered defenders.  Mycorr now had no supplies and was forced to try and retake the keep.  Using the mutant's own defenses against them, the marines annihilated the entire enemy army without any damage taken at all.  As a last insult, the marines captured Mycorr and he joined a mutant scout commander rotting in prison.

I killed three Mutons, a Cyberdisk AND a Drone with one rocket. Colonel Fong has an absolutely absurd 44 kills to his name. He has proven himself able to tank several plasma hits, and is at the front line of every terror mission and UFO assault. I think I might have to quit this run if he dies.

Spoiler: 300 Intensifies (click to show/hide)

A hundred and thirty-five walk in. Fifty-four leave. I took fourteen casualties. Remember, guys, it's not the size, it's how you use it.

For reference, running past four or five melee phases is unusual, and those casualty ratios are absolutely obscene for anything other than an attempt to storm a fortification (which this wasn't).

Also, in case you didn't want to read through hundreds of lines of table, three soldiers fought for a good twelve phases, taking out seventeen enemies. This is why you don't pit light infantry against heavies, guys. Those plate/warhorse knights will mess you up. It's just a pity they weren't better armed, or they'd have been causing a casualty each per phase, and I don't know if Balkopan would have made it out with much of an army left.

Stole a bunch of expensive weapons from a shopkeeper and sold them back to him the next morning. Then I went to the bank, took out a $100,000 loan, and never came back.

That's impossible; everyone knows stolen items are instantly recognizeable as stolen by the floating hand icon every time you look at one.

Skyrim: Morrowind, except crimes are tracked on a hold-by-hold basis and being a serial murderer in Whiterun will have zero repercussions in, say, the Reach.
And you need to become a Master Trader to sell stolen goods to anyone who isn't a fence, regardless of whether the item in question is an apple or a priceless sword that slayed the World Eater.
And horses can bear witness to crimes, accruing a bounty with the local guards.
