  • I’ve played this game to 100% both on the original release, and this re-release.

    It’s one of my favorite action rpg’s out there. It’s not special. It never did anything new, really. It originally released around the same time as Skyrim and got forgotten. I still have always felt this game is better and more fun than people give credit for. It’s huge, has tons to do, has bright colorful biomes, goofy characters, silly stories, cool effects, and is just such a charming thing.

    Some of my love for it is that it’s just a simple fun accessible action rpg. Some is I genuinely liked the stories. Some of it I liked how cliche and cheesy it was at times. And back when it first released, some of it was just nice to see some actual color compared to Skyrim back then, which I was also playing.



  • It honestly is a large DLC that overstays its welcome. I know a lot of people think this game is kind of meh to begin with, but if someone enjoyed the original game and story, I think they’ll like the DLC because it has some more closure on the story and it does introduce some neat new gameplay mechanics.

    The issue is you gotta really stick with it. It starts out fun to explore a new area, and then eventually you reach this point where it becomes a bit frustrating, but as you get through it, some stuff unlocks and it becomes really cool gameplay-wise. Also there’s a middle semi-grindy part where it felt like the difficulty got unfair, but after some unlocks involved in the grindy pary it got fun again and really became something else.

    I think it could have been done a bit better, but overall as a fan of the original game, I enjoyed myself. You just unfortunately gotta push through to the end to get past this kind of middle part that drags.

    There’s lots of fun and ridiculous characters too. I think they did a great job having it really feel like it fits the goofy theme of the game world even though it wasn’t the original team.

















  • Headline is misleading.

    They can opt in to having this reported on their credit report. That doesn’t automatically mean any score will reflect it. Lenders pull which credit reports they want, and they keep what they want from credit reports and calculate their own approach. Just shoving this on the credit reports won’t necessarily mean all credit reports have it accurately, or force them to use the reports that have this information, or even use this information or any particular score. They likely calculate their own.

    This is why sometimes you find that the “score” they have when buying a car or house differs from the score you thought you had.

    People should be aware their is no single credit score. All scores are made-up and no standard exists. It’s all about the content on the report and how it is factored in.

    I’m not saying this isn’t good news, but the headline is very misleading and this step forward should be a lot more forward than it is.
