What videogames are you playing in 2025?

[Reynard]

Over the last 12 or more hours, I nuked my pervious skyrim instalation/mod list and redid it all

Do you wabbajack, or build a custom curated list?

My own custom list

Of course there's a Skyrim mod randomizer, and of course it's called Wabbajack

It isn't a randomizer, and it isn't just for Skyrim. It allows users to automatically download curated mod lists, which makes it a lot easier for us folks who love the versatility of PC gaming but can't quite wrap our brains around Load Order.

Oh neat! That's probably what I would want to do if I ever played Skyrim on PC and modded.

Does sound very... ordered... though...

Using UE5 to overhaul the graphics and the navmashes of the races among other changes, making the combat a mix of both Oblivion and skyrim, redoing all of the voice work ( each NPC has it's own unique dialog now.) is fairly basic now?

Yeah pretty much, given they had to work out how to get UE5 to do the graphics for GameByro/Creation so that they could use that in TES6, because as we saw from Starfield, Creation by itself is not up to scratch. Essentially they're selling a testbed. It's cool that they worked it through, but it's expensive for what it is imho, especially as it's on GamePass.

It's the sort of remake you'd normally charge more like £30/$40 for than £50/$60.

But there's a more important question: did they make Speechcraft not suck?

No. It still sucks, in fact, either I'm doing it wrong (entirely possible), or it actually kind of sucks worse.

Game Designer 1: Making Speechcraft a basic check or a percentage change is boring. We should make it a minigame!
Game Designer 2: Okay... what did you have in mind?

After a long break from video games I’ve started playing Rogue Trader, lots of fun! Exterminatus!

I'm hoping the NPC expressions will be a bit more readable. They were always pretty clear for the major likes and dislikes, but could be a bit ambiguous for the minor ones.

I failed my save, despite the massive list of things I should be doing besides playing the Oblivion Remaster.
