I haven’t checked in here for ages, so I was extra surprised to get the gift of Fort Triumph from @Jragghen. Thanks for gift-bombing an old lurker like me!
Besides Baldur's Gate 3, which I've already played to death and am waiting for it to come out of early access... what games will let me play a tiefling (or equivalent)? I'm having a hankering to make a certain kind of character and drawing a blank.
Same. Other than I think there was an N64 c&c version I played at a friend's house. Red alert was awesome though. I'd love to see games with the corny live action cutscenes like that again.
I always felt like the industry was a bit too quick to abandon FMV, when done properly to supplement gameplay (and I feel the Wing Commander series and Command and Conquer/Red Alert series were great examples of this) it can really add to the feel of a game.
It's a tough thing to get right and it died at a time when good voice acting was hard to find for games as is let alone acting in front of a camera. It also doesn't fit all genres of games. Anything with a player character model or sprite is going to feel weird to switch with a live action representation for cutscenes.
Mechwarrior 4 is an example from after it largely died out where it was done well and not surprisingly is a simulator where you don't need a player character model or npc character models. But it's not exactly the most thriving genre either. Story campaign driven strategy games also are now pretty sparse and that's the other genre it could really work well in.

Pathfinder Kingmaker/Wrath of the Righteous?
Wrath of the Righteous also lets you romance a Succubus.

... that I didn't have.
And now I do.
Thanks @vamen for adding moar tiefling joy to my life!
I have everything I want from that bundle except for WWZ. If anybody gets the bundle and is willing to trade their WWZ key for something else let me know? I have a lot of game keys saved up.
Sent you a code via PM. Enjoy!
Edit: F_ck Cancer indeed! I so had to back this bundle just for that reason alone. Also noticed that Humble didn't take their cut like they do, so that was nice as well.
Thank you so much, I responded to your PM asking if you want anything in return.
Was away from home this weekend to attend my brother and dad's big 30/60 birthday party event and returned home to find that a dark raptor had thrown something through my Steam window!
that's pretty cool, but when you gonna do it for real then?
The hardest part of driving your own vehicle on the Nurburgring is just getting it there. As long as the vehicle is less than about seven and a half feet wide you can put it in a shipping container and ship it fairly cheaply via boat if you don't mind waiting a few weeks (or, at least you could up until mid 2020, now you'd be rolling way too many dice on price and transit time). You used to be able to ship a (small enough, light enough) car from the US to Europe for $4-$5k (not counting any customs fees). Best case scenario, with air freight there and back plus various fees, lodging, transportation, and equipment I'd probably be looking at a minimum of around $20k roundtrip. This would require me to not only have that much disposable income lying around, but to also own a vehicle worth enough money that it would make sense for me to pay that much to get it there, and lastly to have enough driving skill to not lethally pancake myself against a barrier at top speed.
I'm scheduled to fly out the next time we have a week with four Thursdays.
I was making a joke that the stream didn't count, and that you'd have to restream it all again live
but your reply was so much better than my stupid joke.
...Four days ago and I just accepted it today because i completely forgot about it... been distracted something fierce the last couple days with silly concerns, but no excuse! Sorry for forgetting and Thank you again for Valheim! now I too can Pretend to be a Viking!

Those two have the absolute best personal quests in the whole game. They're a lot of fun.
...huh. Maybe I ought to get back to Kingmaker one of these days...
...huh? What do you mean, 'we got hit too'?
Thanks to @Blackhawk1313 for Coffee Talk! I absolutely loved Valhalla, and another game in the vein of it to wile away the hours until the sequel comes out is appreciated! Many thanks!
Pathfinder Kingmaker lets you choose to make your character left-handed?
WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?!
*hugs game*
It's crazy how rare that is in games, especially as an option - you'd think it wouldn't be crazy hard to implement in many cases.
It's like, my most desired feature. I can really only remember one other game that had the option and that was Dungeon Lords from like 2006 or something. I'm sure there's others but I can't think of any.

I'd like to see more left handed characters in videogames. Things get kinda weird with left handedness in FPS games though.
There are a few that let you choose, but in terms of canonical characters Bruce Willis is left handed, ergo John McClane is left handed. Most Die Hard games screw this up, but Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza gets it right:
Unfortunately they modeled the gun incorrectly - the cocking lever is on the wrong side. I'm ok with this though, because it means that in the game McClane does the "HK slap" (hitting the charging handle) onscreen with his right hand and it looks cool as hell.
As an aside, in the Die Hard movie, after he gets the MP5 (the machine gun, ho ho ho), he doesn't really use its attached weapon sling because its designed to be worn on the right side of the body. I don't remember him ever shouldering the weapon to fire it either, because it could cause him to be hit with expended casings. I've never fired an MP5, but I have fired a full auto M16 A1, and got a face full of hot brass while doing so. It wasn't until the A2 that they saw brass deflectors installed behind the ejection port.
Speaking of M16 pattern rifles, the guy who modeled most of the weapons for the original Counter Strike was left handed, and modeled the player firing the guns that way. To make the models usable for right handed characters they simply mirrored them, so you got goofy stuff like right handed Counter Terrorists running around with M4s that had a left handed upper receiver (zero chance of this being military issue, and even if it was you wouldn't give it to a right handed shooter) as well as a left handed lower receiver (lol wtf):
But Counter Strike is also the game that had the player character not only charging the M4 after every reload (regardless of whether or not a round was still chambered), but pulling on the forward assist to do so. If you don't know why this is ridiculous imagine if the guy who modeled the cars for a driving game thought that the car's horn would honk every time you switched gears.
Actually now that I think about it that would be hilarious.
I am cheating in dont starve by mashing alt f4 whenever I die to the gorram tentacles because my gorram spacial awareness goes to shit when I am trying kite spiders into range......maybe I should stop raiding the swamps

Gun models in FPS games are sometimes a weird mix of righty and lefty uppers as shown by that CS rifle- The operating controls are for righties, but the ejection port is on the left because the artists thing seeing brass casings fly across the middle of the screen looks cool even though it gets in the way of vision and is painful if hot brass hits your face because it is very hot, hence the term.
Crusader Kings 2 still has my favorite left-handed option for characters though you never actually see it due to the nature of the game: The character gets a bonus to their personal combat score for tests of individual skill such as duel events but also a -10 opinion penalty with Christian and Muslim characters.

@JaysonFour struck while I slept with TES Online! Which is awesome but unfortunately overshadowed by the fact they also gifted me Command & Conquer Remastered Collection. The love and nostalgia I have for these games is massive, gonna have to start off with some Red Alert first and foremost. Thanks!
