@LtSarge You’re probably right about Valhalla lacking landmarks as such. A lot of the cities have burned down over the years and all the Roman stuff is essentially gone by now too. The cliffs of Dover and Stonehenge are probably the best ones in the game, along with the cathedrals. Make sure to visit Hadrian’s Wall at the top of the map too, that’s pretty cool. The DLC’s settings are more interesting and I loved the Isle of Skye free DLC.
@JohnnyShoulder@Jimmer-jammer Did a bit more exploring in Elden Ring and, without a map for the most part, and using minimal YouTube assistance and relying on hints/deduction from the source material, managed to increase the number of my flasks up to 8 and have increased their potency up to +4 .
Stats have increased slightly, Vigor is at 45 now, planning to make it 60 and increase Str from 55 to 80, also got my Greatsword up to +15, dunno if I mentioned that part previously, and after I level Endurance to 25, with my Jellyfish Ashes +3, Margit shouldn't stand a chance!
I played through the demo for that Chinese Soulslike with the anime artstyle AI Limit.
I thought it was rather solid. I chose the twin blades when I got the chance to chose a weapon and the moveset was pretty decent.
You don't actually lose all your crystals (Souls) upon death, only a portion. But after beating the first boss I gained an item that would permanently change the portion I'd lose, how much crystals I'd gain per enemy and I believe how much energy/mana I'd gain.
You have an energy/mana bar that you can use for weapon skills, your arm powers (That can be a shield or a parry but there's two other functions I didn't get) or magic.
Each attack you do regains some of the bar, each attack you take removes some of it. Weapon skills and magic can't be used when your bar is under 50% so there's a nice risk vs reward I thought for the mechanic.
The English voice acting was... Okay. Nothing remarkable. The framerate seemed solid and there was a good sense of exploration though I actually did get a little turned around at times in these sewers.
But yeah... I thought it was pretty good. I'll keep my eye on it!

I've been playing too much Helldivers 2. It's just addictive and so easy to pick up, especially when it always feels like you're helping progress the narrative. A true innovation of how live-service games are done that felt so obvious but hasn't been done until now.
I've started Ys X: Nordics. I know I'm going to really enjoy it. My one complaint so far is that I can't help but compare the boat sections to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. They look pretty bad compared to a game that was released in 2002.
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Excellent work! That’s always been my favourite way to play these games - as blindly as possible. I’m curious, have you been underground yet?

@Jimmer-jammer Yes, indeed I have, I've been into a few catacombs and defeated the Crystalian (early) and the Cemetery Shade (later) the second when I was already quite op for Limgrave mini-bosses and killed him in like two hits! What did you make of the catacombs yourself?
Edit: With my character's long hair, Knight armour and Greatsword my character is also now starting to look a bit like William from Nioh if he was wearing the Knight armour from the prologue and hoding a refashioned B*stard sword to make it look like a lengthier weapon. — (I played a bit of that game - not much, but enough to know you can create that sort of build in the game)
Edit II: What build did you go for?
Edit III: Vigor now up to 60, moving on to Endurance next
(getting it from 10 to 25) and then finishing off Strength (from 55 to 80).
I think I’m 60% through Dragon Age Veilguard. This game is very good despite what the internet discourse says. The writing isn’t as bad as it is made out to be. In fact, I think when you get halfway through the game and make some meaningful choices the writing becomes peak BioWare, or at the very least very good. If you take the time to talk not only to your companions, but the town members themselves from various factions, you’ll discover excellent characters. The writing isn’t perfect. It can be Marvel-esque at times. But the game has a lot of positives that largely outweighs its negatives. I’m hoping I can beat/platinum the game before Dragon Quest 3 HD Remake releases.
@BlAcK_Sw0rDsMaN Making good progress! As for the catacombs, I think they are interesting, if not a little cut and paste. That said, I was getting at something a little…deeper. 😄
