My latest Skyrim run has been pretty rad in terms of a build that keeps me feeling threatened by enemies (and dying if I'm not smart about how I approach a situation!)
One-handed fighter in light armor with a dual focus in conjuration and restoration magic
So I summon an atronach to fight with me, jump in swinging my weapon du jour, then spend the rest of the battle frantically healing myself and my little fire friend
I do not yet feel like an invincible god like I often end up with in Skyrim, and it feels pretty good!
I cranked up the "difficulty" to max on a playthrough as a sword and board lady who used magic to buff armor to ridiculous levels. Mostly avoided alchemy and stealth, which are what really break the game.
Around level 12 I stopped getting one shot by anything I failed to block. Which was refreshing as fights took like three minutes each. The game became nearly playable after that.
If you are on the East Coast and work a traditional schedule, your work week is very nearly done!
I know this because I am sipping coffee across the street from my partner's office, who has been trapped into one of those aforementioned "traditional work schedules"
Poor lass
What's your boyfriend do?
Oh, he's a vagabond.
"He's on disability for some health issues" is enough for people I haven't met :P
People that I have met / know a little better get a more complete picture, including my occasionally flippant attitude toward the situation and how I do indeed self-identify as a "vagabond"
I'm also a capitalism conscientious objector, when I'm feeling sassy
"Independent technical consultant" when I'm lying through my teeth
But let's not talk about work - we're here to have fun, am I right?
You know, I might be thinking of Uncharted 3 and have never actually played 4, because that does sound neat
Obviously this is only a tiny, specialized microcosm of it because generally you’re climbing on the usual craggy walls where it’s obvious you ‘can’ climb but there’s one scene where your car flips and is on fire. And there are no prompts or instructions at all, but as you move the analog sticks your arms flail around. And you have to carefully direct your arms to grab onto like, the gear shift and the steering wheel and etc. the first time I just died because I didn’t understand. But you actually have to grab leverage points to pull yourself out of the car and it’s conpletely organic. One of the cooler gaming moments I’ve ever had

so everything’s ruined
the new corporate overlords seem genuinely great and my career with this company seems not only no longer dead end but potentially extremely promising as i am taken under the wing of a guy whose title starts with an initial C
god damn it
i’m still going to fuck off to sweden if at all possible but otherwise now i have like actual life choices to consider

"Just ask him something about space or rockets."
"Why, is he a space-adjacent journalist or something?"

Guys have you considered that ammunition is a form of weapon durability
Boom goes the dynamite
Yes. One of my complaints going from Mass Effect 1 to Mass Effect 2 was the change in the ammo system.
In general the ME2 combat system was so much better than ME1 but I still feel that ME2's ammo system was a small detriment.
One major difference between ammo and durability is that ammo depletes even when you miss. Melee weapon durability does not. So ammo at least encourages accuracy. Durability doesn't.
That's not to say that ammo or durability are necessarily bad things in all games. Both mechanics evoke a feeling of limited resources, which can be appropriate especially in survival games or horror games. It also depends a lot on implementation.
In BotW I felt it was both implemented poorly and thematically inappropriate.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

If you just mean some form of general durability then sorta yea!
But I assumed this was still in reference to the Zelda thing in which case no, not at all.

Oh no, this is terrible
Oh. Yeah. That's why... uh...
Spider-Man has always been a kidder. Is he really made of spiders or is he pulling our legs?
i dunno having no hope or dreams is pretty easy
shit this sucks sorry man
Luckily I overcame my fears and while I'm not sure I made it better, necessarily, it was very enlightening and good practice.
I have good news for you about rdr2
THIS LOOKS NICE AND I APPLAUD YOU FOR TAKING A RISK WITH THE INTENT OF LEARNING AND IMPROVING YOUR SKILLS YOU MOTHERLESS DOG
i’m helping
"Just ask him something about space or rockets."
"Why, is he a space-adjacent journalist or something?"
"Decide for yourself!"
One of the early AC games tried this, it sucked
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
They executed it poorly and weren't focused on it
You want a game whose focus is climbing
Something like Half Dome: The Face?
THEMS FIGHT'N WERDS
Hand to hand combat always instead.
Life is chaos, be kind!
Agreed.
We should make it the only means.

Like Morrowind or Shivering Isles weird

so predictably nothing happened with that
