Same. I played a good chunk of it at launch but haven't touched it since - but picked up the DLC and started a new run as an Arbites soldier.

I've generally been using this for character builds, but I'm experimenting with Pascal controlling a drone swarm this time around. The additional healing is handy

Also, this made me laugh

Kibelleh is currently running round with it

Most fights so far are my shotgun soldier, Kibbles, and Abelard bumrushing everything. Kibbles tends to get the majority of kilsl though as her archetype feels kinda cracked. Hoping my soldier RT picks up momentum once I dual wield shotguns though.

RT really has a lot of fun companions, I find it hard to pick who I want to go with on each mission/area.

Oh yeah. When Kibellah is on a roll she'll murder everything in sight. I normally have Argentia with me. Once you can get her a heavy bolter, she does serious damage as well. The level 2 of Dogmatic means your crits set the target on fire as well, so with the high rate of fire from that, she tends to munch through stuff as well. Idira and Cassia make a good team, Idira warp lightening things, and then Cassia reducing the warp levels again. Pasqal you want around for tech use. 

I normally have Kibellah, Argentia, Pasqal and Idira as my core team. Others I'll swap in and out depending on the quest or what I want to try. I haven't much of Solomone yet, but I am liking what I see.

Still the same games for me in WoW and Zenless Zone Zero, but bringing back Nikke and Pokemon TCG Live.

Going light on other games because my PC is about 8 years old and I still have not heard back from a friend to try and figure out why my new pc can only be brought to the bios by flashing the motherboard.

Despite my love of the Sororitas and collecting their models, my RT Is a Soldier too and figured one soldier is enough so Argenta gets on the bench for now. Plus it feels like she's lousy accuracy wise with her bolter. I could be playing her wrong!

Cassia I understand isn't as strong as she use to be but she still feels crazy powerful when you start using her navigator powers. Overall it feels like every companion is competently built as compared to Wrath of the Righteous which had some design choices of all times for your companions mechanically.

There's an item you can find which means automatic hits for single bolter shots. Giving her that makes her very useful in the early stages.

On vacation right now and very limited to what I can play on my macbook. Nothing entirely enticing though.

Have been really getting into Enshrouded back home. 

Going to pick up a PS5 Pro this weekend and get into Death Stranding 2 - and then figure out what game next to get!

Sara Nilsson

Bought Rogue Trader and the DLC last week... and I done nothing but play since :) Glory to the Emperor.. *cough*corpseemperor*cough*

Stargazer6225

Vampire Survivors.

Mostly because it's just been too hot to fiddle about with anything else. The demo for Shroom and Gloom is awfully tempting, though.

Lots and lots of Dead by Daylight with my friends with the anniversary event coming to an end.

World of Warcraft mostly, it's been consuming me day and night. Been having issues finding roleplay partners due to being a trial account though. I keep debating buying a sub just for this month because next month I go back to college and won't have time for gaming

Sierra

Sort of in between on games right now. Trails Through Daybreak and Mafia: The Old Country. I'm still recovering after playing Expedition 33. Another upcoming game on my list is Lost Soul Aside. Too many games not enough time.

I'm bouncing between Umamusume and Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire

I was getting one of those minecraft itches and a friend introduced me to Vintage Story and I haven't stopped playing since

Witch Leda

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

I know, old news. I tried it once, couldn't get into a text-heavy game (ironic, considering the nature of this community). Then I gave it another try, went past prologue, adjusted difficulty to my newbie taste, and got hooked on the story. Suddenly, all those little isometric dolls became real people, with story arcs I'm willing to explore.

For now, my hands are full, but could someone suggest a similar fantasy party RPG with deep story? Might give it a try when I'm done with this one.

The one I was just playing, Pillars of Eternity 2, or it's predecessor, Pillars ofo Eternity. 2 is a bit more fleshed out, better mechanics, but both are good.

Besides the 800 pound gorilla in the room that is BG3 (And Divinity Original Sin 2), as HaveStory mentioned, there's the Pillars of Eternity series. 

If you're fine with sci fi in your fantasy, the makers of Wrath of the Righteous also made Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. 

Those are the ones I'd recommend the most.

Witch Leda

Oh, the BG3. Now its theme song is stuck in my head. :) Yes, I finished it a while ago, truly amazing game. I was hot for Gale (love intelligent men), but in an unexpected turn of events the game shipped me with Karlach. Her confession was out of the blue, and so endearing, I couldn't say no.

Thanks for your suggestions, HaveStoryWithTravel and Revelation! I'll have a look at the games you mentioned.

ArtemisHighmore

Mostly Dwarf Fortress these days. Rolled a world where a dwarven civilization was being taken over by the undead. Think it will be a fun story to slowly rebuild the civ and reconquer the lost mountain halls! Praise Armok! 

Revelation

Age of Wonder 4 put out the last DLC of it's second season - Archon Prophecies. Of the various fantasy 4x games, AoW4 has probably come the closest to feeling like Heroes of Might and Magic 3 to me (One of my favorite games). It's nowhere near 1:1 and brings enough unique stuff that I think it can stand on its own and does, though.

Looking forward to what season 3 has.
