Yeah me with games I tend to take things slow and methodical... even when I play Doom or any fast paced shooter like CoD it's just how I am. I don't think my skill at games is very good, and in multiplayer games I tend to be behind the team taking in the area and such. Things like Alien Swarm others are way ahead but I am back trying to stay at pace with the others but also wanting to read the logs that are around the place, Goonstation adventures are the same thing too when I can catch AJ online. Thinking about it System Shock 2 is one too, because I like to play coop because I am a wuss and won't play much in Single Player, but any chance I can get I like to sit back and read the logs.

I used to be amazing at FPS games, especially in multiplayer, though it's been a few years since I've played them frequently and my skills have diminished.
When it comes to Strategy games I'm incredibly slow and methodical, in games like Command & Conquer I tend to go somewhere between a Turtle and Steamroller playstyle and wont finish a game quickly.
RPG's are an odd one for me, because I enjoy them a lot but I play every one differently and sometimes it just doesn't work for me, like in Fallout I play with as realistic settings as I can, every single hostile encounter is almost certain death yet I only die real early with new characters on the way to Nipton. But with most other RPG's I'm a careless marauder, smasning my way through everything and taking things without a thought of caution

Got Two Worlds II working, spent the last two days playing a mage because the magic system is far better than anything else I've come across for an endearingly bad RPG game.
It's a little complicated to work out but you build spells using cards that all have different effects when combined together, you can get some pretty crazy stuff like tornados made of anvils, or you can launch the dead bodies of your enemies at their friends. Or tornados made of dead bodies.

The only issue is it requires you to be somewhat creative and have a good memory do you can remember what combinations of cards do what.

Yeah they realised how bad the first one was and turned it into a joke, like that one guy in Basels bar that talks like everyone did in the first game and your character just tells him he doesn't have time for this bullshít

I need to buy it for myself, i played it at a friends house once, he had bought it because he liked oblivion, and we could not stop laughing at either of the games.

Ahem. Anywho, been playing a lot of Unreal World. I forgot how hard this damn game is. Sharpening rock knives to sell to people for fur so I can finally build a goddamn kota/hut/whatever they're called.

Hey Forrest, can you give a noob some tips? I've been trying to get into it but I have no idea what I'm doing.
I am no longer legitimately considering leaving this forum

Kaumolais or whatever they're called is a good starting culture. Owl Tribe as well. Start with the Unfortunate Hunting Trip scenario. It gives you a bow most of the time. Take your father's stuff, clothes, weapons, tools, everything. Attempt to kill whatever killed your dad, but don't sweat it if you can't bag it. Just don't let it kill you. It's probably gonna be a wolf, maybe a bear or lynx. If it's a lynx, try extra hard, that fur is super valuable.

Find an okay place to camp, build a shelter, start making rock knives. They sell for a lot. Find a village, trade for dried and smoked meat, or salted if it's all they have. With your newfound reserve of preserved food, look around for large animals. Spend days at a time wandering and looking for elk, reindeer, whatever you can find. Don't waste too much time on squirrels or birds, but if one does cross your path, trying to kill it is fine.

Find an elk or reindeer eventually, and chase that thing down. When you run into it on the map tile, go into sneak mode, try to shoot it at least once. Then, pursue it for as long as it takes. Use the tracking skill, keep on after it, shoot whenever it gets within range. Never deactivate sneak mode. Once you kill it, skin it, set up a shelter, make cords out of your dad's clothes, butcher the body, and use the cords to dry the meat of the animal on the shelter. Now you'll have a lot of food in 25 days.

Live off selling rock knives for roasted meat until your full dried reindeer is ready. That's as far as I've gotten, basically.

Forrest, you forgot one thing.
Butcher your dads body and eat him. it sounds horrible, but a person is a LOT of food at the start.

Eh, I forget what, but there's something bad that happens if you eat people. Spirits look down on you or whatever. Not sure what it entails.

However, you can butcher him and sell the meat, as opposed to eating it. It can also be paid to a hunter to employ him to follow you.

I don't think prayers work, and maybe you get chased by ghosts or something, I don't remember.
