I kind of want to give Skyrim and Fallout 3 another go. In both games I was very engaged by the story, but my early-level character was constantly being killed by really stupid enemies like fire mages or those walking crab things or whatever so I ragequit. Assume I just suck at Bethesda combat, are there any mods that make combat or character progression a little easier?

Most people would suggest getting Leviathan and From Ashes due to hating the original ending. I personally didn't mind the ending too much but I wasn't very much invested in mass effect and Cmd.

bhaltair posted:Recently bought Dragon Age: Origins -- what else should I know other than what's already here? http://www.beforeiplay.com/index.php?title=Dragon_Age:_Origins Arcane Warrior is unlocked in a quest which you could do first (Brecillian Forest), but it is suggested that you save it for last. I'd recommend rolling with 3 mages (yourself, Morrigan, Wynne) and Alistair, instead. Save Arcane Warrior for a second playthrough. All the other advice there is pretty solid, though. If you do Circle of Magi first, don't like The Fade sour you on the rest of the game.

Malcolm posted:In Dragon Age: Origins I thought it would be fun to mix it up and play a sword-and-board dwarf. I was wrong, and should have played 3 mages. I played sword and board for my third playthrough, it's not impossible, I think my party was Leliana and the two mages. Generally having more than one melee character is a bad idea though. I also built Morrigan as all debuffs, because I was tired of taking Cones of Cold and Fire to the face.

Kenny Logins posted:Anything for Watch_Dogs? There are... a lot of skill unlocks. What's best to do first? Is money important to accumulate? Also, any weapon unlocks come highly recommended that you can do early on? I actually thought the game was pretty OK, typical Ubisoft "dickhead protagonist with holier-than-thou attitude" aside. I went for hacking and driving skills first, since there's few missions in the game that doesn't involve either. I never went out of my way to farm levels or anything but I had all the skills unlocked by the end.

African AIDS cum posted:I'm playing Fire Emblem on GBA, like 9 chapters in, 3 characters have already died, I guess I won't get them back? Am I supposed to start over? Or can you restart missions where people died? I have no clue how to play this. Is there a right way to do it? FWIW I actually enjoy replaying the levels after my guys die, and because I like to keep the same group of people going sometimes I gotta figure out how to work around my squad's weaknesses. It's by no means the only way to play the game though. Also the people who die in Lyn's story don't die permanently, but you can't use them in Lyn's story again.

Some achievements unlocked in GZ give you a handful of mooks. You'll get the Solid Snake skin if you unlocked it in Deja Vu and an alternate sneaking suit. You'll have to beat a mission or two after transferring before they show up. Does the ranking of the mission in GZ affect the quality of the prisoner recruits you get from the other missions that's not the rescue intel operative?

I'm picking up my playthrough of Mass Effect 1 after 2 years of leaving it alone. I was apparently doing some moon base side mission and I'm being immediately murdered by drones with rockets. I don't remember having much trouble with this game back on the Xbox even one Insanity (I'm playing on PC now on Veteran). Am I misremembering or do I just suck now? Also was the ally AI always this bad?

Thanks for the tips y'all.

As someone who has played through it legitimately three or four times now, I can say the combat has not aged well and all the inventory management is a pain. Just cheat into the best weapons so that you can focus on ragdolling dudes and shaking down some space jellyfish for extra credits. I'm OK with the combat but yeah the inventory system is total rear end.

Zaphod42 posted:Yes but it requires the 2nd rank of the Local Leader perk to do so, and then you have to assign citizens to do it for each settlement (1 each). Note that if you have several, linking one to another also links it to any that one is linked to, so you can have a spoke-and-hub or a big circle arrangement. It's actually just the first rank, second lets you craft workstations and the stalls that passively generate caps. The trade routes don't need to loop and can just be a straight line. If you only connect A to B to C to D, all 4 will have all the resources you have even though D doesn't link back to A. For OCD's sake though I made it a big circle. Adding on to some of the tips mentioned before -You can equip any settler in your settlements also in the same way as Dogmeat but as far as I can tell they're invincible? So it's just aesthetics -Farming seems to be the only job that settlers will assign themselves to without you asking. But if you have one settler assigned to a guard post, and you build a new guard post that guard will assign themselves automatically so long as they have a free work slot (I think this is 3 guard posts per settler, or 8 crops per settler) -The standard gun mods seem to only cost basic materials plus screws and not adhesive, so if you see one you like it still might be worth it to craft a default mod so you can swap it out. -A shirt and slacks will give you the same amount of CHA as a suit and weighs 2 less, so that's an extra 20 Tin Cans you can pick up! -When you dismiss a companion you can choose which settlement to send them to, and if you fill their inventory with stuff it's an easy way to move gear to equip settlers with, but again I don't think it's necessary to do that but it is fun -Settlers also seem to have infinite ammo so long as they have at least one bullet of the appropriate type in their inventory -Certain side quests that seem to be randomly generated, like kidnappings can expire if you don't get to them quickly enough -With the super-mutants that are intent on delivering a certain football sized package to your face, shooting the arm they are carrying it in will make them drop their cargo much to the chagrin of their homies

Southern Heel posted:X-Com Enemy Within - I'm about mission four or five into this game, and it just seems unbelievably difficult. I am presently assaulting an alien base, I have a sniper, heavy and support guy and two mooks - there are trios of chrysalids who can kill 1.5 dudes per turn and then turn them into zombies. The Chrysalids have got 8 HP or so and zombies 10 HP, and the most damage I can possibly do is around 6-7 per turn. I managed to get past the first section after a few reloads but I'm in a room with 2 beam drones, 2 stealth guys and 3 chrysalids and it just seems completely impossible. Also keep in mind the save-scumming particular actions will not work. For example if you save before your sniper takes a 75% shot and he misses, reloading that save does not mean he gets another roll. All the rolls are based on seeds generated every time anything happens, so you have to do something different to get a different result. As well, it's not always advantageous to Overwatch. If an enemy unit can see the overwatching unit, it will 99% of the time take a shot at whoever is in range rather than move and trigger a shot.

Useless. You get minor amounts of coin, sometimes cards, and there's gwent quests that grant XP also but XP isn't exactly hard to come by. Really the only reason to play gwent is to get more cards for playing gwent.

Ainsley McTree posted:UPDATE: I was wrong about this. Basically, these 'steal the X and deliver it to a racket to increase its earn' optional missions will be available as long as you have a racket available that hasn't maxed out its earn yet. I was confused because the game seemed to indicate that I had a mission available despite having all of that particular assets' rackets earns maxed out, and yet when I went to the spot, there was nothing to steal. Every person you recruit increases that racket's max earn, rather than just contributing towards it. You still max out the max earn with the optional missions though. Since the abilities unlocked by each underboss is determined by how much their total earn is, you'll want to do all of these (and their loyalty missions) should you want to unlock as many abilities as possible. Money has been completely superfluous in the game when I finished it, eventually you can unlock the ability to collect all the Earn automatically without having to pickup yourself. I never bought all the guns but I did max out the upgrades for the two types I used. You can't max out all three underbosses, so you'll want to pick and choose your favourites. I was able to max out 2, and I had done literally all the missions in the game and spared everyone. I also didn't see a point to assigning an different underboss the hold a racket and then assigning the district to a different one. None of the abilities were really so powerful that I would've wanted it temporarily so I just assigned the rackets to whichever underboss I was going to give the district to in the end.

The short version is it doesn't really. The whole conceit is that you are the one Warrior of Light that's gonna save the world or whatever so multiple people don't factor into it. Nothing is stopping you from doing the quests while in a party I guess, but you'll all have to talk to quest NPCs individually and the "cinematic battles" you'll fight with NPCs are also instanced to only you and might ask you to drop party first. You might be able to The party aspects of FFXIV really only comes in with dungeons, FATEs, hunts, trials, raids and path of the damned. But that's really the meat of the game, and quests are largely ignored (with exceptions like Hildebrand and Postmoogle) as opposed to something like WoW where questing was your primary source of XP. It's probably easier to think of the MSQ as a single-player campaign for the game or something. You're also not really progressing zone-to-zone like you would in WoW, while zones have a level range, the story never takes you through a very defined path and frequently has you hopping all over the place.

juliuspringle posted:As regards Dragon Age Origins, is there any sort of downside to slapping heavy armor on a rogue? Besides pissing away attribute points on strength so I can wear the drat things I mean. It will decrease the amount of stamina available to use if the fatigue penalty exceeds a threshold and make your skills cost more stamina to use, which basically turns the rogue into an autoattacker and that point you may as well make a dual wielding warrior instead. You can do a rogue tank build, but that uses light armor and instead pumps dex for high evasion. Dragon Age is kinda cool because all three base classes can spec into a tank (and arguably Mages actually make the best tanks)
