Giving Fallout: New Vegas my first try-out. After playing some more of Fallout 4 I had to give its predecessors a play. I'm enjoying it so far. Had my keester handed to me by those damned scorpions! Not so thrilled about that part...
Was that right after you leave the first town? That's when I first encountered those things, and I got promptly wrecked, too.
Still playing Dark Souls 3, this time on NG+, playing in ember mode as much as I can, in hopes of fighting more NPC and player invaders. Invaders must be seriously nerfed on this one (had heard about this but don't know the extent), because I haven't been totally annihilated yet. I've been ganged up (2v1) a good handful of times, but that was in covenant territory. It was actually pretty fun...I've gotten pretty close to killing at least one of them several times when I'm facing two, but no such luck yet.
I'm surprised how much it adds to the game when you can continue certain NPC's sidequests without accidentally messing them up. I just played through on NG without trying to perform specific actions for quests, just doing stuff as it came up. But now the game's growing on me quite a bit, knowing what I need to do to see them to the end. Going for the usurpation of fire ending this time...
