I bought Divinity II: DKS from some Amazon sale for like five bucks once upon a time. It's a fairly enjoyable 3rd person adventure game. Plot is fairly linear -- there's a bunch of side quests and technically you can move ahead of the plot but the changes in mob level (no mob scaling) means you'll be staying in the areas you're supposed to stay in. I don't think things respawned either so there's little reason to go backwards except to hit a town to sell at. Dungeons are a bit of a pixel hunt to open secret doors and the like.

Eventually you get to turn into a dragon so you'll have that going for you. Combat is a bit button mash-y but you have additional powers you can activate off the numbers bar and a good variety of skills to choose from. Graphics aren't bad but some of the voice acting and facial synching will give you an amused cringe. There's an item slotting system for equipment customization.

All in all, it's not a bad game. I suppose it's worth ten bucks but I'm personally happy to have paid less. It's... serviceable? That sounds worse than intended but you'll play it, you'll probably enjoy it, you might even finish it.

Man, I should write game reviews.

Risen is available on Void if you want to play it for free.

That game catalog might be the worst collection of games I've ever seen. The fact that Risen is among them kinda tells me how that game is.

Risen is not that bad. I rather enjoyed it. You get a huge nicely designed island to play around on with hidden nooks and coves to explore. You can play through two different stories depending on faction choice. All in all except for the unforgiving action combat (Think Witcher high learning curve) it was a fun game.

I also already have Two worlds 2 and the entire Divinity series. I'm a sucker for RPG games. Neither are spectacular either but I played them all the way through and enjoyed them.

I'm sad to hear that Risen 2 sucks actually. If it gets cheap enough I might have to see for myself but not for a mere 33% off. (spoiled by 75%)

GOTY Edition of Oblivion is a flash sale right now, $4.99. Deluxe is $6.24, which really just has a few more dungeons and new housing options.

I know I've stated this before in various threads, but Morrowind is still by far my favorite Elder Scrolls game, even more so than Skyrim. If there is anybody out there who still hasn't played it, go now and don't look back.

I've gotten enough games out of this sale to keep me busy for a very long time, so I'm trying to hold off on buying anything else. Quantum Conundrum is on sale right now at $8.99, but I know I won't get to play it for months, so I think I'll wait for the Christmas sale.

Civ V was on super sale the other day, I got it for like 5$.

I've bought so many games that I think I'm good for the next 2 years, ha.

I don't feel like making a new thread asking but what happened to that thread advertising that World of Steam game? Did the guy go into spam mode or something? I saw Twiz had a post that I never read and then the thread was gone after that.

Odd that it got deleted now. If I remember right his second post had URL REMOVED tags in it.

I assumed it was probably one of those free spam sites that they just happened to use for a legitimate purpose for once.

Steam has been refusing to accept payment from me--anyone else having this problem? Tried different sources, so I know it's not the card.

I bought something last night and it worked. Haven't tried anything today so I couldn't tell you.

Maybe Jesus is telling you to back off the games for a bit.
