Festival of the Lost returns to D2 tomorrow and runs through Nov. 3rd. Free to play. Links and trailer below. Loot isn't bad and the format is kind of like COD's Zombies. You clear levels until time runs out, the more levels you clear the more loot you pull down. It is kind of a neat event and you get to interact with Discount Martha Stewart.

Destiny 2: Festival of the Lost Guide


@Ranger Psych, you in?

Oh, next week is double loot from Nightfall:The Ordeal, but I don't know if you'll need one of the expansions. If you don't, the double loot is nice. I even set up a Discord server if anyone wants to come out. I'll drag any of you Free to Play folks along as best as I can. I'm off Sunday and Wed. my time (I am +8 from the East Coast or Zulu +4 if you prefer), so you know where to find me.
 
Was lucky enough to pick up an RTX 3080 Founders Edition from Nvidia. Now I just need proper time to play games.
I'm waiting for the issues to resolve before I buy a new card. I'm sill rocking an EK predator 360 AIO that I need to replace. :hmm:

Couple of good reviewers suggested the "issues" are being over stated, and also not coming from FE model

Probably more so people pushing for one time clocks? I'm still on an x99 platform with a single 980ti and I might upgrade to ThreadRipper soon. I want to get a Canon R5 and will need the extra boost for 4/8k processing. I'm stoked at how powerful the new cards are for the price.
 
I’ve completed Red Dead 2 three times over the past couple of years. Now I am finally getting into Skyrim; it is humorously annoying how after experiencing the unique voices and abilities in Red Dead, SkyRim employees about 4 actors for all of the voices and your character cannot “jump” up a small set of steps.

Meanwhile, your horse can literally go vertical on just about any climb. LOL

Products of their time, for sure. Even in its remastered incarnation, most games were able to look at Skyrim's success and then innovate upon it - including the PC community who has built so many mods on top of the vanilla game. Not surprised you feel that way, but some feel the jankiness is part of the charm.
 
Personally my big problem with Bethesda games is that the main plot usually isn't that compelling, and too many of the side quests are radiant ones which are copy pasted and involve repetitive objectives. I felt New Vegas was a great counterbalance to that - with Obsidian building on Bethesda's framework with its own lore and world building. I sincerely hope that New Vegas 2 can happen now that both the IP and the dev are under one roof with Microsoft.

I wish I were there to set up your Skyrim, because at this point playing vanilla is almost an insult to the customer.

Skyrim is mostly kept alive and thriving through it's gigantic modding community.
 
Started playing Starsector today and despite being absolute trash at it, I'm really enjoying it. The combat system is a lil frustrating due to all the mechanics it has, but I can see myself really enjoying it once I figure it out.
 
And I have zero idea what you are talking about.
There's a lot of user-created content for Skyrim (and most other games made by Bethesda) and its mostly said user-created content that keeps people coming back to it over the years. Skyrim as Bethesda made it is not all that great, but it provided a great base to build upon.
