A worry I have with doing the dlcs early is that I worry that it will make me overlevelled for a good section of the game, but I can also get encounters through the dlcs. How do yall handle it?
I am actually screaming into a pillow because the dm foreshadowed this fucking perfectly we just didn't realize until it was too fucking late.
The god, that we fight for, that some of us are even magically bound to follow the will of?
IS THE MAIN FUCKING VILLIAN, HELL BENT ON CONQUERING THE WORLD AND WE DIDN'T FUCKING NOTICE UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HELP THEM WITH IT BECAUSE OF OUR OWN FUCKING CHOICES
GOD
FUCKING
DAMNIT
Edit: using the opportunity that this has gained a lot of traction to say. Play legend, really fucking good system.
Edit 2: BOYS, HOPE HAS BEEN REGAINED. WE HAVE A FUCKING CHANCE, I REPEAT WE HAVE A CHANCE
I had enough passive exposure to 40k over the years that getting into it proper was fairly easy.
I have had basically zero exposure to fantasy or age of sigmar (the second one not being relevant to the post I'll tackle that later) though so I don't even know where to start. The endtimes is something I'm pretty interested in but I know that's a whole level of batshit insane I probably won't understand in the slightest without dozens of hours of context
Edit: to be clear, I mean like, lore and shit. The lore is where I most enjoy settings like this
I know this seems close to my previous post, but that's because I did basically nothing but play mass effect 3 since my last post. around 35 hours, and would have been longer if I didn't accidentally lock myself into the ending sequence (intended to get max war resources, got around 4500) , so by no means rushing through
Thoughts on the game:
Holy motherfucking shit HOW IS THIS GAME CONTROVERSIAL.
I fucking LOVED it, story, gameplay, characters, all of it. Even that ending (control). Which I know is controversial but FUCK did I love it so fucking much.
Story was the best in the series in my opinion
Gameplay took everything I thought 2 did better than 1 gameplay wise and fixed my problems with it
All the character story resolutions were super satisfying, and the new characters were fucking awesome
Genuine 9-10 out of 10s across the board in my opinion. I know I will be a diehard defender of 3 going forward holy shit.

thoughts on the franchise
The gameplay was definetly a rollercoaster throughout. I loved 1's gameplay, saw 2's as slightly worse (mostly how fucking tanky everything was even on lower difficulties), and 3's as the best
Story was amazing all throughout. Playing through the game after only made me appreciate the previous game even more. 10/10 story as a whole
Characters were the best part, but that is not a surprise in any sense
Overall, 10/10, or at the very least HIGH 9/10 definetly doing at least 2 replays of the entire trilogy to get the other 2 endings
First of all
I got the renegade ending, paragon path, with captain anderson at the head of the council.
Wanted to get that out of the way first.
Now onto thoughts:
Gameplay: Pretty good, I'd say about 8/10
Characters: what I consider to be the weak point of the game, at least in 1. I only really cared about garrus as a character, as weird as that sounds I'm sure. Definetly running through the trilogy again as a female character to romance him
Story: overall story was pretty weak imo, but hard carried by all the different decisions and shit. Really good for that reason alone.
overall, believe it or not based on how critical I was, I'd still say a solid 7/10. Really excited to start 2
I have preferences for ones that also have some sort of cross job progression, games that incentivize you to progress in multiple jobs rather than just picking a favorite and sticking to it, but that's not required.
The only real games I can think of is xenoblade chronicles 3 (which I loved), dragon quest (which I don't know if it falls under my preferences or not) and the recent yakuza games, but if anyone has other recommendations I'd love to hear them
(this is any platform that's not xbox, I just had to choose a platform flair for the sake of this)
I have no idea what I'm doing, insect glaive feels familiar enough to feels comfortable but wrong enough to feel so fucking wrong, just the entire game feels wrong as a whole
Any advice? Both on the game and insect glaive as a whole
I do not fucking recommend it lmao. It is fun, don't get me wrong, but holy shit can I tell I'm missing a lot of context on how shit works
It took to the 30 hour mark for me to find out that you can upgrade starbases
30 HOURS
Something that in hindsight is very fucking clear
took me almost as long as a full length rpg
this is just one example
