I doubt that's going to happen as it's not a solo friendly game, and he
expressed not liking any kind of multiplayer.

But I did! lol!  But, you are right. It is not an RPG and just more of
a too tough combat game.  I was going to get a refund because I
thought it was only a MP on-line game but I found a switch in the
setings to turn of on-line.
 I don't like it so you won't see me posting anything about it.  From
what I read, the single player / off-line is designed to be extremely
hard and harder than multiplayer so I won't be playing it for very
long.  Looks good though.  And there seems to be no difficulty level
or character selection in the SP game so I will just boot it up
everyonce in a while like I am doing with the new silly, made for the
general public DOOM.

The patch today supposedly improves solo play, so maybe better.  I'm going to try it offline now too, as much as it pains me. I hope it's paussable, dedicating an hour to a run is a bit much with the multiplayer with the time pressure.

But I do appreciate all the help from you and rms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to be of help!

I am only playing the new Elder Scrolls Oblivian for about an hour
total each week, not taking it seriously.  Just enjoying the ride. It
is buggy as heck for me.  Never got messages that my video card ran
out of memory and especially hate it when it boots up and the graphics
are all screwed up like vectors and I am riding my horse in the air...
and have to find a save game to resort back to so it stops. 

Yeah, they didn't fix any of the bugs from the original.  Bethesda for you.

Getting
tired of that trick to force the game to redo the shaders even though
I never see a message on the screen.  Got so sick of waiting over 5
minutes for STALKER 2 to become available to start playing every
single time I booted it up (only to get killed a couple minutes into
the game - it is so dark and gloomy).

What the hell is up with the shader thing?!?! Tiny Tina's Wonderlands does that on start up too.

The best thing about those two though are the quicksave and quickloads
and multiple save game files.

Well you have 10 character slots in ER, but yeah, I like using multiple saves.  Especially helpful on DS2 where they have long runbacks to bosses.  In ER I never really used them as just exploring with little to no runes to lose or being able to pick them up isn't bad.  The only times I wanted to go back to old saves was when I screwed up a quest, but I always did the screw up so long ago I didn't want to go all the way back to the save before I screwed up.  It's still a good idea to make them in-case of bugs that screw up your save.

 I guess I couuld copy and paste what I just said and post it in this
months "What have you been playing..." thread :-)
 Nah.

Lol
