Frankly I’m shocked a CPU that old could run the game anyways.

Outlook bad.

It might turn out to be a good game even, but I highly doubt it lives up to the first game in any way.

Honestly, I don’t think it would be all that difficult. From my understanding, under the hood the Xbox Series X/S are basically just a normal x86 PC. They even say the OS is ‘Windows 10 Core’, and some stuff is already fully cross-platform.

I can confirm both of those things lol.

I recently tried playing Daggerfall Unity, which is basically a ground up remake of Daggerfall in a modern engine. So it’s not quite as clunky and hard to get running as the original.

I still bounced, even as a major Morrowind fan.

I didn’t personally take any notes, but I did use a map with all the places already marked. Because without one finding things is absolutely awful lol

Morrowind best game imo. OpenMW is a great experience.

You can install a mod that removes the need for saviour’s schnapps. I considered it but I only learned about it when I was basically done lol

You can ignore/mitigate most of the survival mechanics in KCD. For food, I highly suggest grabbing the human dustbin perk, which lets you eat spoiled food without any downsides. Once you have that keeping fed is so easy it’s basically an afterthought. For health, there’s a healing potion that is incredibly plentiful. It doesn’t have proper health regen aside from sleeping, but I had ~30 of the healing potions by the end of the game having crafted none of them. Keep a bunch of bandages on hand as well in case you get a bleed. I only had a handful across my entire playthrough but bleeds can be annoying if you can’t just fix them with bandages. As for sleep, I encountered a need to sleep a total of like three times across a 60hr playthrough.

The combat can be difficult, but it’s far from being a soulslike.

You might like it. You also might not idk.

And choose the melee class, don’t remember it’s name right now.

…there’s a melee class?

Do you mean Vanguard? Because it’s not so much a melee class as a shotgun class lol

Source? The link in the OP says a ~3060 or 6600XT for recommended settings. No clue what the ‘recommended’ settings are, though.

Anyone that is on 10 still isn’t going to go to Linux

Eh, there’s a few of us. I intend to at least give Linux a solid try before I swap to Win11.

My thoughts are that at that point I realistically have to swap anyways. It’s just a question of whether I’m going to Win11- which I’ll have to customize to my preferences and generally figure out, or Linux- which I’ll have to customize to my preferences and generally figure out.

I’m on the tech savvy side of things, and I still find Linux intimidating so I don’t think this will be a mass migration to Linux or anything.

I’ve considered Linux a couple times in the past, but generally stayed away because my PC is primarily used for gaming which didn’t have the best support then. Things are kinda different now- support is generally better.

Meh, I could see it if Microsoft is willing to basically just give Obsidian the IP for a game. Bethesda realistically wouldn’t really have a say in that I don’t think.

We’re apparently getting Skyblivion this year, too. That sounds like it’ll be fun.

It’s the kind of thing you just learn over time as you play. It can be pretty brutal early on tho.

It could be worse- first MOBA I really got into was Smite and there’s ~130 characters in that game.

Why not do both? Keep GTA VI Online’s price low, and the main campaign at like $80.

It’s exactly what they did with Red Dead Redemption 2. RDR2 is $60, Red Dead Online is $20.

I have no idea how it is for your country specifically, but for the US pcpartpicker.com is pretty amazing for price checking stuff. I know it works for a lot of other countries as well.

$869, $899, $979.

That price is from some random reseller that’s out of their mind.

7900xtx costs 1.6k$ rn

…where? Is that CAD or AUD? I can’t find many on sale, but I just found a 7900 xtx for $999, and the XTX’s MSRP is $999.

Fair enough. I’m not necessarily advocating for people to buy AMD cards, just that realistically the price is pretty irrelevant for a lot of people buying GPUs. They’re going to read AMD and bow out.

I’m also very interested in how Intel shapes up, though.

Realistically people just won’t be buying them because “AMD drivers bad” or “I’ve always had Nvidia”

Yeah, the only source I can find for something like this is aside from dense academic papers I’m not qualified to read is https://www.swedishmatch.com/Snus-and-health/Research-on-snus/Cancer/

Which is… uh, not exactly a reliably source on the topic since they’re a Swedish company that makes Snus. And they don’t even mention that Sweden has removed the warnings.

That part of the page was added by some anonymous user- it just lists an IP, not a username- on October 9th. So I’m gonna go with not believing this one unless a Swedish person pops up to confirm.
