    I'm still mad Galaxy doesn't support Linux. I'd probably still use Heroic, but the mere fact of being a second class citizen doesn't feel great.

    His team was also burnt out after working on BG3 after such a long time, Sven respected the wishes of his team over the lure of making more money. It's important to remember, Sven actually cares about the team he's assembled over short term profit. Screw Hasbro any day of the week is such a mood, but, not an inciting incident that lead to Sven making his choice.

    I remember Krater! I played it for a while and I liked the atmosphere, but I only got so far before I saw how... 1-dimensional it was? I don't know how exactly to put it into words, but some games that aren't so good I have a "see behind the curtain" moment. Once that happens I tend to quickly get turned off to a game because I feel like it's not fun anymore. In Krater that happened when I realized that all the fights were essentially the same and equipment was all stat sticks with no unique qualities. Pretty much what your characters did at the beginning of the game was what they did at mid game with no noteworthy changes. There were other characters you could sub in and that changed things up a little but the repetitiveness of it all really ruined it for me. I agree that's a really good example of a "meh" game and I think 5/10 is a very fair assessment.

    It comes from the FFG Star wars RPG system and its method of creating multiple success/failure conditions. It's an entirely independent system to the light/dark side force mechanics. That's fair if it's not solving a problem for you, but it does add something new that resonates with a lot of people (at least it did for me). I'm speaking from the Genesys side so I don't know how daggerheart handles it, but I absolutely loved it. I found it made skill checks more collaborative, my table would suggest ideas for how to interpret the roll, and having more to 'explain' got people more descriptive in how they talk about their actions. We went from 'I take a swing. Nope, that's a miss' to 'failure with advantage, ok I go in with my axe but I can't get through this guy's defenses. For my advantage, I want to hook this guys shield with my axe so the next attacker gets a boost die to hit'. It does make checks more involved, but I prefer fewer, more impactful checks as a general rule anyway.

    Heck yeah, I remember building out and optimizing my PC to squeeze every frame I could out of Arma 3 back when it released. I have such fond memories of that game, I played tons of casual multiplayer games and Arma 3 Project Life which was a really well done invite only life roleplay game mode (before the developers killed the community by being dicks).

    Not so much "remade" but the engine was open-sourced and it's been kept up-to-date for modern computers. Exact same levels, graphics, sound effects as it ever was, but obviously the resolution now is much higher than it was in the early nineties. Think my graphics card can push it at 4K 144Hz while still being in power-saving mode; it does more work rendering desktop fonts nicely. There's also a port of Pathways Into Darkness onto the engine, if you want to play it? It's a real bitch to emulate a classic Mac to get it running, but this is basically drag-and-drop. It was brutally unfair even at the time, and contains a lot of features which have not aged well and are distinctly un-fun - it is not a game that's afraid to waste your time, put it like that. I do love the idea of it - the atmosphere of it is probably the best bit, and I'd love a modern remake of it. https://lochnits.com/aopid/
