One of my first (concurrent) playthrus I was under the impression that there might be some limit to the long rests because of the tadpole, so I basically did all of act 1 on like 1 maybe 2 long rests. It was really fun to have to play so cautiously and really eke out every advantage I could, but then was really disappointed when I realized almost all the companion stuff happens one at a time during long rests, and power long rested like 20 times in a row.

I’m like 60% sure if you make tav or other origin characters cleric of shar, and then a paladin they end up with the paladin of shar tag

What is your top 10 that doesn’t have zelda then?

Harry potter and bethesda both have built in fanbases despite not being that relevant for the last decade-ish. I’m not very surprised they were able to make 7 and 8 on a top 50 list.

just a popularity contest

Just what it says on the tin then?

I think they have to get to the point where they mightbplay a video game on their own before stardew valley would land for them. They weren’t particularly inspired by the trailers.

I dunno that nidhogg would be a good game for us together, but it looks up my alley to play solo sometime.

Thanks!

I’ll look into My time at sand rock, stardew didn’t catch their interest when we were looking at trailers and such earlier tonight.

Love bg3, I think that could be in the cards maybe a game or two down the line!

Audiosurf is a blast from the past! That was one of the early games I played a lot of on steam, it might be a good low stakes option sometime.

I have a Wii U in storage at my parent’s house, I might see about us checking some games out when we visit for the holidays in a couple weeks. I don’t want to overwhelm them too much though.

I think this is gonna have the same problem as mario kart, so I probably need to wait until they have some more game experience. Last year when I had my last smash phase they enjoyed the music being on in the background though.

I love dos2 and bg3, if we can work up to those I would count that as a huge success

BG3 has been making me want to go back and play some of the earlier D&D crpgs, but it might be a miss for my partner at this point. Neverwinter Nights is based on 2nd edition right?

We have Jaws of the Lion.

Looking into secretariat for gloomhaven quickly, it looks really useful, I’ve been thinking about the gloomhaven video game as an option too. There are things I like about physical more, but I also think it’d be very convenient.

I super appreciate the implied offer, and hope that someone fills your spot. I am however on west coast time, and am kinda half evening shift schedule besides, so I wouldn’t be able to make that at all regularly…

Thank you though!

Trine 2 got recommended by someone else specifically among the Trine games, and I have that and Magicka in my steam library, unplayed. So I think those might get a shot at some point.

Vermintide 2 is great! I’ve played quite a bit of it, but I don’t think we’re quite ready for that yet.

Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate the rec even if I don’tthink it fits us right now!

Yeah, I’ve added like 10 games to my steam wishlist with the intent to run 'em by them tonight, might do a once over before though, as I don’t want to overwhelm them.

I didn’t know animal crossing had local coop, they mentioned being open to animal crossing specifically today, so maybe I’ll pick it up. I haven’t played an animal crossing game since the one on the DS, I could be down to be their player 2 on it.

That’s about what I would expect would happen with us too. Its already in my steam library tho, so we may try it.

Seen lovers in a dangerous spacetime a few times here now, will definitely run it past them. Pizza possum also looks like it could fit us super well!

Crokinole looks interesting, looks like a little bit of a rabbit hole I will have to check out a bit later.

Thanks!

I don’t think they’d appreciate that, and if they found out I think it’d damage the possibility of gaming being a thing we do together at all.

I think stray is a great first pick for if I can get them interested in playing a game mostly on their own.

Thanks!
