i should just install it to futz with the character creator again

This is honestly the best approach. Just go out, enjoy the combat, and maybe make some afk trade routes or something. It is incredibly fun in small bursts and very bad to take seriously

BDOUpdate:

I made a hot pirate and a cool like… time wizard?? Idk, his basic armor is cool.

So Beastmen are ridiculous fun now. Love the rework to Hordes they got.

Given my newfound lack of enthusiasm for Overwatch for reasons, my wife and I need something else to play. Maybe Valorant? Anyone have insights on that? Or, you know, whatever. Some kind of colorful hero shooter.

apex i guess

going from Blizzard to Riot for reasons is like taking your hand out of a boiling pot and sticking it into a nest of fire ants.

apex is fun

even if you’re not a fan of the battle royale genre i’d still recommended it because they’re branching out into new games modes + the cast is colorful and has a way of growing on you

also the next legend is The Most Beautiful Man so there’s that

Oh, are they problematic too? I haven’t kept track of the broader gaming world in some time.

Riot was one of the first companies that started getting called out for this stuff.

Took a moment for me to remember Riot gaming and what their properties were while trying to figure out why they had not whithered away yet.

Oh… That game.

yeah, it was really bad. fortunately riot seems to have gotten better per some of the people who were originally being victimized, but their case was the OG big revelation that gaming companies are frat boy scum

if you’re still interested in valorant it’s pretty fun, a lot like CSGO with overwatch abilities, but if you’re understandably put off by riot then i’ve heard that Paladins is basically overwatch with another skin and apex legends is super fun as far as battle royales go and developed by Respawn, who by all accounts seem pretty decent (especially toward their consumers)

apparently titanfall 2 is a blast

Paladins looks like it might scratch that hero shooter itch, downloading now, thanks!

WrA people:

Are there any other decent games with playable Gnomes and Dwarves?

There is a game called The Dwarves that is pretty cute. Single player.

Deep Rock Galactic - multiplayer dwarves in space.

Total War Warhammer III - RTS dwarves.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Turn based multiplayer with dwarves as one of the races.

LOTRO, Rift - MMOs with dwarves, obviously.

Dragon Age…uh…Neverwinter…Craft the World?

Deep Rock Galactic

Vermintide 2.

You’re on your own for gnomes. I feel you though, I loved Warcraft Gnomes and their brand of magitech steampunk.

Been years but this is the one I’m considering again. Perhaps turning Norman into a Hobbit.

Thank you both!

Dungeons and Dragons online is good.
