re: Weekend Gaming Thread:I am the very model of a Scientist Salarian

trying to play a modded skyrim

fresh install, and using mod manager instead of nexxus manager.

after many of the mods, it's like a brand new game. And with new Skyrim edition coming soon, the mod creators updating and creating new mods.

I have a feeling this will be a crash and burn.

Quakecon =)

Edt: my first also.

I'm finally getting round to Rise of the Tomb Raider. I'll be playing that, and Overwatch.

Would have finished last night, but I'm playing on high diff and keep getting wrecked on the final mission.

The game itself doesn't want you to finish it.

Thanks, I just hit 17 and I have the castle mission available along with 4 settlements. I have been building those up, exploring and I ran into the Brotherhood. Joined up with them and started doing missions for the knight. Mostly just exploring west to east before I go further south, as the enemies are really difficult even with using power armor. I have only found 3 fusion cores for the armor so I have to use it sparingly.

3 of the settlements I have 5+ people in farming mutfruit so I can sell them for caps later on.

Best weapons I have is the 10mm pistol, a .45 combat rifle I want to mod for .308, a combat shotgun and my mini .308 sniper rifle.

Combat shotgun is good for ghouls especially if I let doge take them down first

I'm stuck on Quantum Break. I can't lower the difficulty without starting the Act all over.

One reason I rarely use mods

I suck at King of Tokyo so my games are like 10 minutes. I've started moving away from games with heavy dice rolling.

I played 2 4-player games of KOT over the weekend. The first game lasted about 20 minutes. The second game lasted nearly 40. This range is perfect for my family. I like more strategy heavy games but if I've got non-gamers in my group (which is 99% of the time) I think a mixture of luck and strategy is best. It allows people who lack skill to still stay competitive.

Played a couple games of hive yesterday and I am really enjoying it. Very high quality tiles. It's like chess without a defined board.

I've heard good things about Hive. If you enjoy games similar to chess, I've also seen The Duke suggested. The pieces are double-sided tiles that have different movement patterns on them. Each time you move a piece you flip it so the next time you use it you must use the new movement pattern.
