Video Games

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

I feel like I've been doing a lot of faffing about lately — I've done a couple of dungeons, sure, but a lot of general exploring, house stuff, crafting... Almost killing time for the sake of it, because I couldn't decide what to do (there's already a pile of quests in my journal, plus multiple major and minor places I've still not visited... and there's always the main story, of course). So today I... just got on with some actual stuff. Did a quest; carried on to a proper new location. It made almost 2 hours of playtime absolutely fly by, and I could've done a lot more; kept going for a lot longer. This is why I fell in love with the game, not doing random nothing for the sake of it. So, I really should do more of that going forward!

Good Puppers!

I backed the sequel to this on Kickstarter last May, but it only just came through — along with a copy of the first game, so I thought we'd start there. It seems fun, though also like the kind of thing you have to play a few times to really get its rhythm and tactics.
