With the exception of the console games they are standalone stories within a larger universe

[Hahahahahaha-grizzly-hills (Hahahahahaha)]

have you tried Fire Emblem?

I haven’t. Though, I know quite alot about it from… fanart. One of my friends at work talks about it alot. I’m sure I could borrow the games from him, and try it out. Is there a chronological game to start with?

I’d recommend Fire Emblem Awakening. It’s a good story, high quality, more forgiving than some of the more cruel Fire Emblems…but most of all it’s a crazy awesome dating sim. You can force any of your 20 people to mate with eachother, even if their personalities are horrendous together. It’s great comedy. 3DS game btw.

[Lontra-bladefist (Lontra)]

They are all good but yes the newer ones are more forgiving :). Tho if you want a gut wrenching plot twist the first GBA that came out is tops.

Fire Emblem Awakening.

I just hate that cruelty of Nintendo and their demand for using their systems. Spent so many hours on Sacred Stones and Path of Radiance. And specifically got a DS for Pokemon Black at one point. Then the bloody thing stopped working when Black 2 came out. And now they’re starting to release them for the Switch.

[Lontra-bladefist (Lontra)]

Lol, I have (working) a gameboy, gameboy advance original DS, 3DS, 2DS, Super Nintendo, N64, 2 Gamecubes, Wii, WiiU and a Switch. I may have a problem

Well that simplifies things tremendously.

but most of all it’s a crazy awesome dating sim. 3DS game btw.

Well, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t intrigued Good thing the 3DS is one of the few non-PC systems I’ve owned since… the original Playstation, or the GBA

That’s part of why my thing with consoles has been on-again, off-again. You invest so much in one, and before you can even get to where you’d like in all the games you’d like, the new console is already out.

[Irenaus-wyrmrest-accord (Irenaus)]

Anyway, my suggestion would be to identify what you like about Warcraft and search that out. Personally, I like grinding for the perfect transmog. So I’ve managed to put a lot of time into games like Monster Hunter World and Destiny 2.

I was surprised to see how big the modding community for MHW is. It’s predictably a lot of NSFW stuff, but there are some solid visual and QOL changes.

[Irenaus-wyrmrest-accord (Irenaus)]

I remain hesitant about the whole thing given the constant warning of, ‘pursue at your own risk.’ I should probably give it a try. But I’ve heard/seen cool things as far as some of the graphical performance getting smoothed out and some neat customization options.

[Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord (Galenorn)]

Honestly, I’ve mainly stuck with WoW all this time for the RP. Which is usually a bit… limited on most console games. But yeah, RP and transmog have become the real WoW endgame for me.

Otherwise, I do just in general enjoy fantasy rpgs. From the epic and poignant, to the laidback and a bit silly. I’m loving the Spyro remakes for both that and just the nostalgia.

[Lontra-bladefist (Lontra)]

So, totally off the wall but there is no one awake in my house to share this with, I just went outside to fill the bird feeder and there was a flock of 30 turkeys on my porch. I startled them just a bit… have you ever seen 30 turkeys explode into the air? Lol they even launched out of the trees. Thought I was gonna giggle myself to death

[Hackbrew-wyrmrest-accord (Hackbrew)]

You appear to have a very effective bird feeder then.

[Lontra-bladefist (Lontra)]

Yeah, lol I am used to the turkeys but watching them fly just tickles my funny bone . I also play host for most of the year to a flock of trumpeter swans, I call them loud angry water chickens

Eamon is a bad person and a dork.

The new forum is stupid. It allows you to edit other people’s quotes and still attributes it to them. That’s far too easy to abuse and be abusive with in our current hate filled forum environment.

This could easily happen in ANY forum software that allows you to quote other posts. Nothing has changed in that respect. It’s also not something that Blizzard can do anything about short of removing the quote function altogether.

Apparently I was duped in regards to the Mage Sisters… They are probably just mere Mages in the end…

[Anelaan-wyrmrest-accord (Anelaan)]

I have been sick for about a week now and I would appreciate my body remembering how to fix that any time soon. The constant fatigued fog is driving me crazy.

[Hahahahahaha-grizzly-hills (Hahahahahaha)]

This could easily happen in ANY forum software that allows you to quote other posts. Still, you are probably right that the new forum still needs a lot of work. If this is it’s final form that’s disgraceful.

The previous version of the forum removed the person’s name you were quoting unless they were quoted perfectly. This protected posts from being edited to change what people said.

[Jokiro-emerald-dream (Jokiro)]

If the lord deigns to spite me in this manner I will face god and join my fuhrer in hell.

This explains so much

[Darethy-ravenholdt (Darethy)]

Tong the Fixer is the absolute worst.

The only way ill be happy with this expansion is if he dies in a pit of blight, and even that would be too good for him.

Finally, posts on the Story Forum I can get behind.

That isn’t true. I trim peoples’ quotes regularly and it was about 50/50 if it displayed their name, even when I didn’t alter anything.

Besides, if people are so concerned about it, there’s the arrow in the quote box that will take you directly back to the quoted post.

Why is it so hard for me to pick up new games? I’m like a niche predator, that can’t adapt.

I’m having the opposite problem. Now that I’ve pulled the plug on WoW I have a dozen games I’m trying to play at once. The other “name brand” MMOs (FF14, ESO, TOR), trying out the first two Darksiders games, waffling between CK2 and HoI4…
