Hi there! I adore archers in gaming. I'd appreciate your best recommendations.
The games can be from any era. They can be on any system. Archery only has to play a part, but it has to be a very fun part - and crossbows and bows of all stripes are allowed.
Thank you!
Hi there!
I'm asking for fantasy media with rogues. These can be a showcase of lovable rogues in their own right; media which exemplify rogue skills (sneaking, thieving, lock picking, archery); or, if they're games, provide excellent rogue classes and skills.
Any era, medium or platform is fine. Thank you very much!

If someone puts fruit (fresh and frozen), almond milk, and whey protein powder into a smoothie, does the blending process change the smoothie nutritionally?
I’ve heard that the smoothie is worse than fresh fruit because the sugars come to the fore somehow. Fact or fiction?
Thanks!
Happy spooky season! (Best time of the year!)
My horror niche is dark gothic. I love Dracula, Frankenstein, M.R. James, "The Excavation of Hob's Barrow."
I still feel I have scratched the surface. I'd welcome media of all kinds that fit this aesthetic. Thank you!
Wind’s howling and it’s that time of year again.
I’d appreciate dark gothic games. Definitions vary, but they can include gothic atmosphere, medieval/Victorian aesthetics, the supernatural, decay and isolation.
Bloodborne is a great example! (And a great test if people actually read the body text heh)
Thanks a lot and happy spooky season!
Hi there! I'm new to the series - and everyone in the world seems to have played it but me!
Would you recommend the original or HoTA and why? Thank you.
Hi there! I'm trying to recapture the magic a bit - Witcher 3 has that spooky "medieval woods on the edge of town" feeling.
I'm trying to find games to fill the void. Really enjoying "Blood of Dawnwalker" and "Black Book." I also get the vibe in KCD2. Eager for any other suggestions! Thank you.
Hi there! I believe truly great writing lasts the test of time. I read Marcus Aurelius and watch The Marx Brothers.
I think the same thing applies for games, as well. I was wondering which LucasArts games that you would recommend the most on writing quality alone. Thank you!
I downloaded Prerelease 2, but I keep getting an unsupported ABI error. Here's the link to the release: https://github.com/RSDuck/duckstation/releases/tag/prerelease-2
Would appreciate any leads. Thanks!
Hi there! I have the Enhanced Editions. A fellow Redditor said they enjoyed "BG1 & BG2 (even further for modded versions : difficulty & classes options, extended dialogues)."
That got me curious! I was wondering if you could kindly share mods that you enjoy and would enhance the experience. I've played the games before, so I'm looking to really see what is out there.
Thanks for your ideas!
KOTOR has been amazing; I am playing it now and I adore it. KOTOR II is next (with the Restored Content mod!)
That being said, what are the other S-tier Star Wars games out there? This is such a classic franchise, and I'd really love to absorb the best of the best, from any era.
Thanks for your recommendations!
Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone had experienced any performance issues on either platform, especially Switch 2.
Thanks for your insights, appreciate it.
I was wondering which medium (digital or physical) would be faster, specifically in terms of loading times, etc.
Is there a difference? Please provide all the details you can.
Thanks!
Hi there! This may be a niche within a niche, but is there a "KCD2" equivalent in CRPGs? I'm in a major history phase and I'd welcome Roman/Greek/medieval motifs.
I love fantasy (look at my flair) but I'm a bit fantasy'd out right now, and I'd welcome suggestions. Thanks!
EDIT: Some magic and folkways are more than welcome. Historic populations believed in them!
Hi there! I'm not sure what to call this genre, but I love first-person games that let me infiltrate, steal, talk my way out of things, experiment, and do so without much pressure from the game itself.
I saw a ton of this in KCD2. And in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Indy did his classic infilitration. Deus Ex games have this in spades as well: Choose your own way to move forward, use tools to reprogram robots, etc.
It's about freedom to move forward as you'd like, and to be creative. Any other games like this? Thanks.
Hi there! CRPGs are often evaluated on their main quests, and I think that's unfair.
A lot of the experience is enjoying the small side quests you can take on, as well as the companions you have by your side. (It's a lot like real life, if you think about it!)
With that in mind, I was wondering if you could provide some recs. You can break apart the "side quest" and "companions" categories if you would like. And these are just your opinions on the quality of these respective categories on average.
Thanks a lot!
Hi there! I plan to play both of these classics on PC soon.
To my limited understanding, there are mods like Devilution for Diablo I - and also Median XL, Project Diablo II and Eastern Sun for Diablo II.
Could you please share the best overhauls of these two original versions of the games? Thanks!
Hi there! Assuming access to a PS5 and PC, would this be the best way to play each game in the Souls/Elden Ring run?
Since "best" is relative, my priorities are maximum atmosphere, and I think that Dark Souls I Remastered Edition arguably stripped away the original dark look of the original (hence my preference for DSFix with the PTD edition.) And for Demon's Souls Remaster, it's just apparent that the PS5 is miles above the original.
I've provided my reasoning below. Please take a look and push back if I'm off base. I'm certainly not defensive about my positions and would welcome your perspective either way! Thank you very much.
Demon's Souls - PS5 Demon's Souls Remaster
Dark Souls - PC Dark Souls "Prepare to Die Edition" with DSFix (More atmospheric graphics), as opposed to "Remastered."
Dark Souls II - PC Dark Souls II Vanilla (Better enemy placement) as opposed to "Scholar of the First Sin."
Dark Souls III - PC There is only one version, so this is moot.
Elden Ring - PC
They're my favorite classes in anything! Currently, I'm enjoying a classic I picked up today: SHINING FORCE and really appreciate Hans and Tao.
Would love your recommendations for SRPGs with great archery and mage gameplay. Thanks!
