There are a lot of great minor characters but I especially liked Barcus and Rolan and being able to impact their stories. I would have liked to see where things were going with He Who Was but never ran in to him again. Did I miss it or was there just the one encounter?
I figured we should have a post for random thoughts, questions and other comments that people might want to do without having to create a new post just for that....
After reaching act III with a sorcerer, I got overwhelmed and restarted with a spore druid dark urge. I still have a handful quests left in act III and it feels a bit weird being that close to the finale with an underwhelming epilogue to look forward to. But it truly is an awesome game and I'll probably start another dark urge as soon as I'm done and not try to save everyone and their mother.
@JJROKCZ I totally agree. I don't miss having sliders and spent plenty of time playing around with the options in character creation without them. My husband ended up with an awesome flute-playing tiefling bard that looks like she's in a punk-band.
Schrödinger's rotten basket: The magic thingamajig you didn't know you needed could be in the next container but you won't know for sure unless you look and find the rotten carrot.
The first area is really big. I think I'm about to move on to the next area after 40 hours or so but I also thought that 6 hours ago but keep stumbling into new areas.
Siralim Ultimate maybe? The Steam description: "Siralim Ultimate is a monster catching, dungeon crawling RPG with a ridiculous amount of depth. Summon over 1200 different creatures and travel through randomly generated dungeons to acquire resources, new creatures, and loot."
At some points, you need to rethink your setup and incorporate the new stuff you've found along the way to be able to mindlessly grind on but I've played for 160 hours so far and having a blast trying different strategies. Evoker is my favorite class so far - casting so many spells before the battle even begins that the enemy never gets their turn.
If you're into RPGs with turn-based tactical combat, it is an awesome game. With the disclaimer that I'm on my first playthrough and still in the first chapter after 40 hours, it seems like there is enough content for several playthroughs using different approaches. I picked a charisma-based class with charlatan background and approach situations by talking, which is a lot of fun so far. I end up fighting quite a lot anyway but the dialogue side of things is well executed and fun to engage in.
Half-elf draconic sorcerer with charlatan background. I'm attempting to trick and persuade my way through Faerun and when that doesn't work, a fireball usually does.
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
I love Lucky Charms but unfortunately, they're not sold where I live. The sugar content is probably above the official EU limit for cereals or something :(
I finally got a greenhouse resulting in loads of padron peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers over the past months. It really made a huge difference in yield. Also, three squash plants is way too much unless you're the Duggars.
Less spectacularly, the sunflowers still haven't flowered and my clematis died of unknown causes.
My 13 yr old mixed cocker spaniel is not doing so well. I feel like he is not living his best life. He has developed several issues in the past couple years that impact his QoL. I'm worried how to deal with his buddy an 11-12 year old mixed shih tzu. I do not want him to get depressed nor do I want to get a new dog just to...
I would recommend this as well if you have the option. With my previous dog, the regular vet recommended another vet who was semi-retired to only doing final house calls. She was really nice and empathic and made it all easier to get through.
Whether getting a new puppy is a good idea or not very much depends on what your shih tzu is like - would he be able to keep up with a new puppy and enjoy it or is peace and quiet more his thing?

This is awesome! I've been wanting to play UO for a while and single player is perfect. I really don't miss the PK guilds - one step outside the city and bam, you're dead! Being gutted by a stag due to your own stupidity is much less infuriating.
Great suggestions - I actually already have clematis growing up some elder trees close by the spot I'm looking to cover. It took three seasons to really start growing so I didn't consider it a viable candidate but maybe I was just unlucky?
Hostas sound perfect for the place I have in mind and deer won't be an issue there - thanks for the suggestion. Do you have any favorites? It seems like there are a ton of variants to choose from!
I had no idea they were edible! Now I'm definitely getting some.
I can totally see the clematis getting out of hand now that it actually started growing. It will be interesting to see what happens next year but so far, it looks great. Is your clematis wild type or cultivar?
Favorite minor/side character?
The main cast aren’t the only great characters in this game, who are your favorites?...
