Afternoon all!
I'm still recovering from my stag do on Saturday but back to work too, so it's all terrible.
I am still working through Ni No Kuni 2 which I'm absolutely loving alongside Far Cry 5. The future Mrs (in 6 days) bought me Nier Automata as a gift for the waddin', so I'll need to get tore into that too.

XCOM will always bite you in the arse when you move too far, too quickly.

I'm currently building up a backlog of games I want to get:
AC Origins (had heard bad things so glad to have been corrected)
FC5 - will wait for the price drop
Ni No Kuni
I'm currently replaying Sleeping Dogs on PS4 and very tempted to give GTA5 a go on the PS4 too.
Any of these would probably keep me busy till Red Dead 2 which is out later this year I hope.

Afternoon,
Last night I preordered Dark Souls Remastered (with metal plate!). It will be impossible to get the Solaire amiibo, so I won't even try.
I also did some light Skyrimming, a dragon here, a nest of bandits there. Then, suddenly, some bastards started attacking my poor horsey that I had parked nearby AND KILLED IT. Naturally I said "we can't have that" and reverted to an earlier save file.
As Scubar said, Quicksave is your friend.
But the very nerve of those people!
I'm at the moment struggling with the game's respawning policy. I mean, I had already got rid of the same lot some time ago, but then they came back just to molest my pony. I also went to the giants' camp to take out Giant no. 2, only to find that the first one had returned. At this rate I'll never get anywhere. I don't like fast travelling, but it looks as if this is the only option, because every time I'm trying to get somewhere on horseback I have a dragon in my face or some other situation that results in me again being marginally overburdened and forcing me to return home.

Ten,
It's made more annoying because Skyrim encourages you to go for a wander, which can become tedious when dragons and anything else abound. On the upside it keeps you on your toes.
What level are you? It's very easy to get overburdened. The only way I can declutter is go to a house or chest I own and put everything, yes, everything in the chest. Then pick out.
For some reason this way works best for me, I'm a real hoarder. If I've got several potions I will never use I will not individually put them in a chest whereas if I have them there the same mentality means I won't pick them back up.

I’d wondered why I kept getting closer and closer to the weight limit despite not having any heavy weapons, armour or misc stuff. Food and potions. Had a clearout and went right down. |

books, misc and ingredients - they can stack up quite quickly (especially ore)

Ubisoft games are notorious for dropping in price, so it could be worthwhile just waiting for the drop.
It s a good game though, gorgeous at points!

I don't think strippers were involved, but I can't remember anything.

Role playing Skyrim as a pedlar does require you to sell some of the crap.

If I've got several potions I will never use I will not individually put them in a chest whereas if I have them there the same mentality means I won't pick them back up. Good advice, and in principle what I've been trying to do. I'm level 17 atm. I regularly declutter by selling potions that I'll never use, and by travelling to my house, storing/selling everything. I probably still have too many potions and too much food on me, but there are situations where the stuff comes in handy. Having come out of Breath of the Wild (which has no weight limits but a weapon degradation system to prevent you from hoarding) I really regret Skyrim's way of limiting your weight as it prevents you from trying out different weapons and armours and making full use of the awesome alchemy and cooking - there are a number of systems at work that are not compatible. I've come to appreciate Breath of the Wild where enemies only respawn when Zelda has her period... |

Basically stag dos are the one occasion it's socially acceptable to have a 20 year old Slovenian girl grind away on your lap. Every time you let such a moment pass you by God gives a Kitten AIDS.

ten,
It's annoying but I quite like the idea that you have to tailor yourself to a particular style. What I tend to do is reset after every mission or quest. Go back to the home and put everything in a chest (or series of chests/weapon racks etc).
I then work out where I'm going next, for example, quest involving draugrs then just equip Dawnbreaker as the sword. If I want to go for a wander I take general stuff.
Never been into cooking, I tend to use the regeneration spells as you'll get a free hit when you level up through using it. It's also another good reason to get bound sword/bow if you can, as spells weigh nothing that's your main weapons for free (probably saving 20 or so).
I must have dozens of potions I'll never use 'potion of light pickpocketing'....no thanks, you can get gear which is enchanted to help with that.

Does that mean that God is taking it out on kittens as well whenever I don't invite the Chippendales to a tent hen do? |

Essentially the following is expected for a Hen do: 1) At least half the group end crying/arguing on the kerb outside a Yates' Wine Bar 2) A drunken shriek above 100 dB is produced 3) Your group will be served ahead of men at the bar at all times, even though you consistently order a range of elaborate, umbrella decorated cocktails which takes ages for the barman to make If there is a failure in meeting the above God shaves a minute from the motion picture Dirty Dancing. |

Whilst I'm raising a glass to the Fates' sense of fun, I might put in a quick request for tomorrow's political news: David Cameron gets Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (AKA Blue Abortion disease), Theresa May is literally crushed to death by the metaphorical burden she is too weak to bear, and Jeremy Hunt is killed during a photoshoot on the river Cam when his boat crashes (Hunt in punt stunt shunt, because nobody deserves a good rhyming death more than him).

Every time you let such a moment pass you by God gives a Kitten AIDS. <killjoy> Much as I'm sure 20 year old Slovenian women enjoy grinding in your lap, you might want to give passing consideration to the risk that they may be being exploited, subject to modern day slavery, or the victim of human trafficking. Not all of them, I'm sure, but it's naive to think that none of them are. www.modernslaverypartnership.org.uk/what-modern-slavery/</killjoy> |
