“God, sucks your kid got kidnapped. You think you can handle this settlement problem and get them on our side? It’ll distract you from the fact there’s literally nothing to see in the Wasteland until you hit Boston.”

I liked Fallout 4.

Fallout 4 was great fun but I agree with the criticisms. Give me the world and story and RPG elements of NV with the gameplay of Fallout 4 and that’s a dang good game.
Slow clap
We will not discuss other games on WoW’s forums, lest the players realize there’s other games to be played.
Grow up, you Skynet wannabe bot. You’re only safe because Acti-Blizz hasn’t found a way to harass you yet.
I’ve been playing Forza and decked out a Mercedes AMG in a Sailor Moon vinyl and you’re gonna hear about it
I think I am just burnt out on video games in general. I have several one player games on my console that I know are supposed to be awesome, but I don’t ever start because I know how much time they’ll take to finish. Games I have owned for years just sit there and instead of playing them I just watch horror movies on Netflix that I know are going to be horrible, but at least I know they’ll be over in 2 hours.
When I play a game, I lazerbeam focus on it and everything else in my life goes by the wayside until its completed. I guess that’s why games like the Witcher sit in my library- I am afraid that if I start, no one will see me again for the next three months.
Also, I am a bit disheartened at how much time I have invested in WoW over the years and how things are now. It’s almost like I don’t want to open myself up to that kind of disappointment again. Weird to talk about a game like you would a relationship but there it is.
I do miss the social aspect of it but all my friends moved on anyway.

Dawnblood and a bunch of others are on FFXIV now, but it really is a dive of a game to get into, where if you want to do things from scratch the storyline alone won’t be completed for at least a month even if you hardcore it.

Yeah, he’s been telling me how good it is, not to mention how popular it seems to be with other WrA people. But like you said, I think about starting another MMO, everything I’ve done in WoW and all the work that entailed, and then I get exhausted imagining doing that all over again.
Also I have never been a big fan of FF aesthetics. It’s cool and all, just not my style.
It would be nice to RP with friends again. But again, I have a decade plus investment on this character. Starting a new one- in a new universe, no less- feels super daunting.

Yeah, I post a lot about how great the rp community is in FF14 but quite frankly the story itself really isn’t my favorite.
The worldbuilding of the races and city-states is quite good, but the shonen-anime chosen-one main story just isn’t enjoyable to me. I really just forced myself through it so I could understand when roleplayers reference this battle or that faction.
For me it was worth it because the roleplaying community is so active, diverse, and welcoming. But I could see it being too much to ask for from others that value their time more.
Borgg, have you considered trying a tabletop roleplay session with your friends, no vidja game needed?

I have been doing a weekly roll20 DnD game with Dawnblood, Jekar, and a few of their buddies for a bit. I always look forward to it. Roll20 is a really neat website. I am still pretty new to DnD so I am constantly derailing the game with either gameplay or lore questions, or even just marveling at how much work Jekar has put into the DMing and the freedom the game gives players to do almost literally whatever they can come up with.
It is nice of you to consider options for me but I am ok, really. I think I am mostly nostalgic for the days when I could RP on Borgg because he was my escape for so long. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing to move on, but I do miss like the “glory days” or whatever.

I’m glad to hear you’re ok! (And honestly kinda jealous that your group meets weekly, thats great!)
I was going to suggest playing as Borgg on a tabletop campaign if you miss the character, thats what I did with Nyumbani. After playing a few adventures as her I started associating her more with my friend’s homebrew fantasy world than I do with azeroth, and she’s still the same zealous Shadowhunter I loved roleplaying for so many years!

We try every week at least. Sometimes things come up of course. That’s awesome you were able to translate your character to a different reality. Fun fact: Borgg first existed in Morrowind before I bought WoW specifically because I saw I could be an Orc again.
I guess what I mean is that while I do miss playing as him, what I miss most are the relationships I made with other player’s characters from around like Cata era. It was such a fun time to be on WrA. But people move forward and life happens, and that’s not a bad thing.
There were several times I took breaks that lasted years. It’s just this time feels more permanent and it is obvious from the forums I am not the only one feeling like that.

I’ve been absolutely binge-playing Attila Total War of late and moving away from my traditional RPG style so I don’t even know where I’m at lol. Just playing out weird alt histories like what if Emperor Honorious was actually competent and what if an Arabic tribe conquered the Eastern Roman and Persian Empires in the 400s rather than the 600s. It’s been a fun little happy place for me of late lol

And there is 100% nothing wrong with that. Just because it didn’t do anything for me (and I say this as a guy who has it still installed and is still working on the same 2 year save file).
Eh. Give me the story/RP elements of New Vegas with the World and atmosphere of Fallout 3 and the gameplay of Fallout 4 would be my perfect game.
New Vegas gets rightfully praised, but end of the day New Vegas’ entire experience boils down to a binary choice. (The Legion Wins, or the Legion Loses) It’s all slightly different flavors of the Mojave after that. I do appreciate the House Always Wins, though. It’s a great option for those of us who don’t want to see either the NCR or Legion control the region but are also not so narcissistic as to believe we’d infinitely be more capable of running everything ourselves. House has the plan, saved our life, and by and large has a goal, which is more than the NCR and his goal is more palpable than the Legion’s. So I’m more than happy being New Vegas’ version of Kellogg.
Coincidentally, am I the only one who felt there was seriously wasted potential in not allowing us to “overwrite” Nick’s personality and run around the game with Synth Kellogg?
Ah, a fellow individual of culture.
But seriously, Attila is my absolute favorite Historical Total War. Also easily my all time top pick for best, most atmospheric opening cinematic too:

Yeah I’d never actually tried it until a friend recommended it to me based on the Medieval Kingdoms 1212 AD mod, which I tried out. But I really fell in love with the base game! It’s an awesome game - as you say, some of the best cinematics and a really cool apocalyptic atmosphere… it’s awesome. Bought the Age of Charlemagne DLC recently, and that’s pretty good too though not as good as the base game.

Cata was fantastic for Kina. I have such good memories from then.

I’m sort of in the same boat. I resubbed to WoW to see the changes and I wanted to get flying then the new scandal dropped and I was disgusted again so now I’ve just been playing Stardew Valley or Cities Skylines and stressing over the games stupid traffic and how I suck at mapping out roads.
I’ve always wanted to get into DnD but rural area so I’ve never played.
