    Honestly, Morrowind is my favorite Elder Scroll game and I truly think that every Elder Scroll game after it is a downgrade (I despise Oblivion, but Skyrim turned out to be a step forward).

    Third, is it worth buying Skyrim separately from the Elder Scrolls Bundle? It's $29.99 for Skyrim at 50% now, but the bundle is $49.99 and includes Morrowind: Game of the Year (with Tribunal and Bloodmoon), and then Oblivion: Game of the Year (with Shivering Isles, and Knights of the Nine)? As in, do we think Morrowind / Oblivion will actually get less than 50% off at some point?


    Doubtful that Morrowind will go on sale for cheaper. It didn't during the last big New Year's sale as well IIRC. As for the pack, well, the only one you'll really want to replay is Morrowind, because it's still one of the most atmospheric games ever, and unlike Oblivion, it doesn't have that much of a generic high-fantasy feel. Oblivion though is pretty much obsoleted by Skyrim.

    It's 40 degrees centigrade outside.

    I don't mind sitting in with the AC on when there's a sale. :P

    I was particularly interested before...but watching the video for Grimrock it looks pretty slick.

    Can you choose characters for your group, or is it always the same four?
    And the prisoner death-mountain plot actually sounds kind of awesome.

    Wait, in darksiders, I'm not sure if I'm missing something incredibly obvious, but I'm at the part where I have to imbue the corssblade with fire to light the bombs, but I can't target multiple objects at all? What's happening?

    There's a button you can hold down to "lock on" to multiple targets (up to five) when in aim mode. You do have to be within a certain range for it to work.

    On the 360 controller it's the left trigger, dunno what it is on the keyboard.

    So I found myself thinking about when the next flash deal would start. It's in about an hour and a half.

    Somehow, in doing so, I had completely forgotten that the next day of deals would be happening also.

    Damn you, Valve! Your flash deals have broken my mind!

    This is my sig.

    I'm of the opinion that everyone should own Terraria and Bastion.

    However, Bastion is the better game so it gets my vote.

    Also, after very careful consideration, pondering, sleep, then more pondering and analysis, and a pleasant walk to a very unpleasant place (Wal-Mart), I have reached a decision. An accord with my wallet, if you will.

    I am going to risk the wrath of Newell and not get Arkham City this time around, and just get AA and Two Worlds II.

    Awesome, thanks for the tip. Here's another question for you. I actually already OWN Morrowind Game of the Year Edition, but the Steam Key does not register to Steam - of course - if I add it as a 'Non-Steam Game' to the Steam Library will I still be able to utilize the 'Steam Workshop' to handle all of my modding needs?

    I am in the business of saving lives.

    So there was a Humble Bundle with Bastion, and a whole slew of other amazing games? Jesus, I am a horrible person. I don't know how I missed that, or if I saw it, what I was possibly thinking by not pulling the trigger.

    Not sure if want.

    Basically is it cool enough that it would be interesting for my wife and I to play through together?

    Playing with someone else commenting on questioning suspects is the best way to play. I want to say 'Yes, absolutely' to your question.

    $7.49 for the entire game and all of the DLC cases is a great steal.

    OKAY STEAM THREAD, I WAS GONE FOR ONE DAY AND YOU WENT THROUGH 59 PAGES.

    Here are some updates. First, I would like to put in a big thank you for @iolo and @maz- who BOTH gifted me Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic while on the Flash Deal last night. Please let me know if one of you would like me to 'Decline' the gift to return it or if I can take both and PA-it forward.

    Second, yesterday in my opinion was the best sale day so far. Dead Island, Left4Dead Bundle, The Witcher, The Witcher 2, Alan Wake Bundle, Skyrim, Morrowind, and Oblivion.

    Third, is it worth buying Skyrim separately from the Elder Scrolls Bundle? It's $29.99 for Skyrim at 50% now, but the bundle is $49.99 and includes Morrowind: Game of the Year (with Tribunal and Bloodmoon), and then Oblivion: Game of the Year (with Shivering Isles, and Knights of the Nine)? As in, do we think Morrowind / Oblivion will actually get less than 50% off at some point?

    Fourth, people need to stop voting for shit that was ALREADY ON SALE. I know the average Steam customer isn't like us - simultaneously watching Steam, Amazon.com, and Greenmangaming (along with respective CAG and Twitter posts) to suss out the best deals, but voting for shit that was already a daily or a Flash Deal is stupid.

    Since I'm terrible at coming up with contests and you were I think the only person on my friends list who had it on their wishlist, you go ahead and gift it to someone else.

    Painkiller: Black Edition is $2.49. That's pretty good.

    Renegade Ops and Witcher 2. Both really feel that they were designed with a gamepad in mind.

    The party query was answered already, but just a note on the plot: It's paper thin, at least at the start. You only get any of it directly when you rest, which you don't need to do ever technically. I'm only on level 3, though, so maybe something more direct happens. Not to say it's not fun, just it's not the plot shining so far.

    You need Combined Ops. Arma 2 Free you can use for Day Z. Arma 2 just gets high res textures.
