wtf are you doing that you need so much ram rotfl
Though now that I have a dual monitor setup I notice things can get a bit laggy at times. No idea if it's because of lack of RAM (4GB) or my shitty CPU (i3).

I say check out the other DLC anyways. Maybe you can handle the bosses there better.

Post preview:It's good to hear that your characters gains EXP by forging and enchanting. The grindy aspect Toozin described reminded me abit too much of FFXIV, in which secondary skills were so grindy it killed the game for me.
It's definitely something you need to get into. I've had problems with Skyrim now although I've played and thoroughly enjoyed Xenoblade before, consider that. But maybe the big difference for me is just the setting and the fact that I have a full time job now and am juggling playing 5 different games and being productive. >_>
Heh. That's actually a bit of problem I have with Skyrim now. I started to enjoy the game more when I began thinking like that, because I could just ignore all the NPCs as that's what I'd do in real life. Who talks to everyone in the streets, or listens in on every conversation between strangers? That's be nuts! However I've already had a change of heart when I considered that the worls of Skyrim is too different from RL. I feel like in Skyrim I have a bit of a reason talking to people, even if only to figure shit out. And asking strangers on the street for the way is something that feels natural even in rl.
Wow, that was fast.
I haven't played the game in years. If things work out well I'll get a new Super Famicom sometime later this year and get to replay the game as well.

Post preview:So... Skyrim. I've played the game for a couple hours now and can say a few things.
Gotta start off saying that I didn't like the game at all during the first 1 1/2 hours or so. The opening part really bugged me with its hand-holding, and once I got out of that the game became so open so abruptly I was just left confused. It took me a while to just accept that it's best to just follow the quest markers on the map. Then I just got lost in the cities, felt they were too large and open, had too many NPCs with too many dialogue options... I couldn't get into anything at all and just rushed through the main quest as fast as I could. All the while I was super bummed that there were no enemies to fight, and the outlands were just barren. I don't mind an open world to explore, but there's no point if you can't find anything interesting anywhere! When I got to the Jarl and his sorcerer I started to feel like playing the game like this, just rushing past everything, was OK as well because there were some dialogue choices that seemed to be explicitely there for players that just wanted to get in on the action. I started to feel better about the game at around that point, and genuinely started to enjoy it when I got to the bandit's tower near the dungeon where I was sent to find some dragon orb or something. Then the whole first dungeon was just great fun to play through. If this was a pure dungeon crawler I'd rank this game much higher. But maybe I can warm up even more to the non dungeon parts of the game over time.
Still, I'm not a friend of the setting and story so far. At least the atmosphere is great.
Now I gotta start figuring out stuff like forging and enchanting.... I guess. I can't get motivated because I feel like I've got no material items anyways.
I stopped playing during my second playthrough because I kept failing to protect at a certain part that I didn't have trouble with on my first time lol

dude, i ALWAYS play re4 with the knight armor now. not having to worry about ashley makes the game waaaaaaaay more fun on subsequent playthroughs. plus you get the pimp suit.
the only downside is that the armor makes this really fucking loud clanking noise lol

Post preview:It's really a bit odd. Maybe because you need to be alive to kindle for whatever lore kinda reason
Or they couldn't polish that mechanic because the game is unfinished. The whole DLC was supposed to be in the main game.

I was so pissed when that happened to me. Some guy on another forum even broke his room's door in anger when he got cursed lol
Once you know how to deal with the basilisks, avoiding the curse becomes really easy. You just have to make sure not to stand inside of the gray clouds they spit out. Also the humanity stat increaes your resistance to curses.
Abou the DLC. To get here yu need to do:
- Kill the hydra in Darkrot Basin
- Go into the cave at the end of the lake (make sure not to actually fall into the pit obscured by water. There's some ground even beneath the water's surface on the left side)
- Quit. Reload your file.
- Defeat the enemy that now spawned inside the cae
- Talk to the NPC. Say you're interested
- Backtrack to where you fought the hydra. There should be a summon sign to summon the NPY you just met. Summon it and talk to it
- There's a blue golem early on in the Duke's Archives (endgame area). That one should drop a key item
- Return to where you foght the enemy inside the cae of Darroot Basin, there's something new there that lets you enter the DLC
If that stuff doesn't work out for you. you don't have the DLC. In which case you should buy it if you got the spare money. It's really good.
Quote from Opium:
I'm totally fucked. I fell through an opening, and at the bottom of the hole there were a shitload of eyeball creatures. I killed about 5 of them but they kept coming. I was totally surrounded and now I died and am cursed with no way to lift it.
Lost a total shitload of souls too. No way I'm going to be able to get them back.
