Regarding the intro in that last video, I have untold numbers of hours in Skyrim. Never finished the main quest even once. 

For my part, I'm going to let Cyberpunk percolate. For a good long while. Wait for the (maybe) multiple DLCs to get out first. Especially good if they really do get 3rd person mods going. (I saw a quick demo last week of one.) First person and I just don't get along.

I've been watching the series slowly over the last few weeks. Almost caught up to Season 5 but not there yet. I rather love it as a whole but I've noticed some interesting patterns.

• Virtually nobody is very attractive. There's a few that are kind of... approaching attractive. Camina, the Mao sisters, etc. Probably the best looking is Avasarala and that's an issue. Particularly curious since I noticed a promo shot and a lot of the actors are pretty good looking.... off screen.
• Straight relationships: BAD. Queer relationships: GOOD. I mean come on. Everybody who is straight is either perpetually getting divorced, abandoning their family, murdering their spouse and/or children, or yelling at each other all the time. Daddy issues are rampant with most of the female characters. Meanwhile everybody gay/lesbian is in a calm, loving relationship.
• I kind of hate Holden and Naomi. Not dislike. HATE. It's to the point where I'm mentally tuning out their subplots. (Of the two, Naomi is the worst!! )
• In space, there is no inside voice. ALL SHALL YELL.
• I was REALLY into the setting and story..... until it got to be an alien thing. Can we not insert alien menace into everything!? Too often in scifi they've got a good thing going, then they have to insert ALIEN DOOM. Ugh. I feel like they kind of lost it there. (I know it's based on books so apparently the books lost it too!)
• Mars is awesome. (Or was before the alien gate thing.)

So anybody else watch this? Agree, disagree?

Yeah ok, so I'm replying a ... tad late.... 

I actually watched the whole thing. Some of the highlights:

• Triss looks like a 50 year old meth addict.
• Fringilla is now apparently perpetually constipated. Also has trouble reading the cue card. (They're intentionally making that poor actress as ugly as possible!)
• Dryads are now led by some ancient ugly poser from Zerrikania. (They might want to have a little more border control!)
• Elves are ugly. Also apparently Zerrikanian elves have infiltrated human lands. Got to watch those Zerrikanians elves!!
• Humans are ugly. (Except Geralt. But then... he's not really human so does he count?)
• Yen miraculously can use a sword just as well as Geralt. (Especially ridiculous since a scene before she time stops a bunch of people.)
• Gold dragons aren't dragons. They're actually 15 meter tall golden emaciated chickens. (If the effects are THAT bad, how about not having the dragon on screen? PLEASE?)

The total end result of all this: I think I'll do a W3 playthrough. Never want to see this stupid series again ever.

That makes two of us...

But... it's like FO4. Without NPCs!

I can't help but think the rationale for that decision was: "Well, we only make garbage NPCs anyway. Why not have none at all?" "Yeah!"

Aside from the usual Bethsoft nonsense, there's always something about online games like FO76 that bother me.  Assume I'm a stupid fangirl and I spent $60 for FO76. (The thought disturbs me.) Then they ban me for creating too many items or finding a way into their test cells (which shouldn't have existed at all). Because it's not through something like Steam, I don't get a refund for my for purchase right? So... Bethsoft just stole $60?

If the rumors are true, there may not BE a Bethsoft much longer if they spit out TES6 too fast.

I've always kind of marveled at how bad a lot of Bethsoft stuff ends up being. It's as if they throw their huge budget at a given game but have extremely poor management. The result being everything is a hectic mess and they barely manage to push out something coherent. And then the rumors about it being just that during the development started popping up. Sure, they're rumors, but it makes some sense if that's how it really is.

But yeah, better stop here. I can write entire books full of rants on Bethsoft. From Oblivion to FO4. (Thankfully didn't buy FO4. Skyrim was my last bought title. Only played FO4 because my job had a spare copy that nobody wanted. The first clue is nobody wanted it! haha)

Lost me as soon as he said "Bethesda quality".

Oh lovely LL is now a <insert your favorite boogeyman> front now?  

It decided to go bonkers on me in the middle of an upload just a bit ago. For the 3rd time.

Oh and hello by the way. It seems I had an account here all along.

And in keeping with the cringe-fest atmosphere....

Why is it that as soon as I put up a FAQ, I get tons more comments... asking questions all handled in the FAQ? Is this is a FAQ rule? Russian bots? Dogs using their owners computers during the day? WHAT?
