Hey all!

I am playing my second game with seamless co-op to play with my partner so this is nothing serious. I really want to use Eleonora's Poleblade and Reduvia but I am not really a big fan of the dragon incants. I prefer to stick to black flame, lighting bolt, golden vow, buffs etc. and have a faith seal. Is there a way to combine something with dex/faith/arcane that will be somewhat decent? My first game I was running dex/faith (even though I started as an Astrologer...) and I am kinda really attached to my faith incantations. Thanks!

Hey all! I wanted to share this animatic made by a friend. She got me into the show and I am very thankful for her recommendation.

I hope you all enjoy!

Hey all!

I have played some visual novel games many, many years ago and I am in the mood for something like this right now to keep away from long RPGs for a bit. However, I know absolutely nothing about what is considered good in this genre and what games are out there. Here is the general vibe of what I am looking for:

- A romance game with a few options

- An engaging story with some well-written personalities

- No longer than 50 hours

- Pleasing artstyle (though this is super subjective, I know)

- Characters are adults (as in not playing teenagers, I am too old to be romancing teens)

- Gender and sexuality of the main character and the cast do not matter to me

- Obviously not degrading to any gender or sexuality

- Not vulgar or super sexually explicit, it could explore this but something milder

Thanks!

Hey all!

I am working on a design of a all-gaming tattoo of my fave and most influential to my personal life games. The whole thing is inspired by the HOMM3 win-screen so it will be like a small dragon on a pile of gold with artefacts and references to a few games. HOMM3 will be represented by the chest of gold you find on the map and the shield with Erathia's griffon. I was thinking of leaving it like this for HOMM to represent the series as a whole but this feels a bit like revisionist history on my end, lol, since the actual game of my childhood is HOMM4.

I lived for The Gathering Storm campaign and HOMM4 is the actual game that got me into gaming and into fantasy. So I want to somehow honor that given how much space I will provide for HOMM3. Any ideas what I might include from HOMM4? It's harder for me to pick something truly iconic. My fave towns were Preserve and Asylum and my fave character from the campaign was Agraynel.

Thanks!

I am putting this as serious in case people don't want to get baffled in their beautiful day, lol.

The new entry in the Heroes of Might and Magic franchise dropped a few days ago and there are a lot of opinions on it already. One person (who is most certainly a guy, though they hide behind an anon account on FB) had just the most insane take - that the game is "woke". So I asked what about it is woke and I present to you some of the arguments:

Conservatives Fear This One Thing

There is one cute creature in the game. I noticed that in general the very serious men of the internet are hating on anything even resembling cute in the game since apparently HOMM is a very serious and dark fantasy (not even a fantasy but how would they know). Not the dragon in the original HOMM looking like this:

Such a Dark Fantasy

2. There is an elf in the campaign that is, and I quote, "probably trans". An elf, you all. An elf is androgenous, the humanity! I cannot find the pic easily but you can imagine a stereotypical-looking dark elf with long hair. So elves are woke now as well by default, I guess.

Edit: Screenshotted him from my own campaign:

Fancy Elf Inspires Feelings

3. Lastly, the argument that sent me on a spiral, and I will quote his own comment for this one:

" i just noticed Peasant units carry 'cute' pig under one arm... On battlefield... why... just why... And yeah more I will play more details like this kills the vibe... Seeing crap like this makes me think that best way to play this game is while holding your teddy bear and enjoying vegan coffe with almond 'milk'..."

The New Woke Just Dropped

I hope you at least had a laugh. I decided to stop arguing with insanity and with somebody who clearly does not love the HOMM games. I shall long remember the man with a pig being woke, you can bet on that one...

Hey all, how did you find the trailer for this game? I think it has very strong Witcher 3 vibes and I like the overall look and vibe but the main character is pretty much John Dawnwalker, lol. I know it's way too early to judge the story so I am holding on hope it would have twists and turns. It seems like there will be only one MC, though. I am hoping it will be a good game since I would love to play something similar to The Witcher.

What are your thoughts? Did the trailer win you over? Are you excited?
