but apparently the playerbase has dropped off a lot lately.
Really? I finally tried it today and as soon as I finished the tutorial, I had somebody join my world before I even touched the large crystal. I felt bad because I wanted to explore around, but at the same time, didn't want to bore the guy the death. Started shooting a dog, then realized it must have been his. Died a couple of times and left the session, then set it to offline.

Playing with random people seems like it could be a ton of fun, but for a first playthrough, I'd rather do it solo as I learn the world/system.

More the idea that she was locked out because she started showing an interest in nylons and lipstick.

It helps that they nailed Max: even though you're making the decisions, each and every permutation is justified *by* Max in her own voice and with her own reasoning. She also has genuinely good chemistry with Chloe, who kind of threads the needle between making you feel too sorry for her(she has lots of problems, but at least some of them are mostly or entirely her fault) and making her too hard-edge or mean(IMO. Opinions vary, of course) to empathize with. And some of the decisions were genuinely difficult.
Yeah, it was rough trying to balance things out with Chloe and the right thing to do. If I was younger, I could have easily seen myself siding with her time after time. But I had a hard time being a total ass to David because I could see where he was coming from. While some things he did may have seemed extreme, I understood it was never intentionally malicious.

And I had seen people play through the game before, so I knew the general theme. But making those choices myself did get me invested in the characters. Even knowing the major choices in the chapters, it was still tough to pick the "right" one.

Better off eating more meals, so you don't end up binging on the one meal you allow yourself. I ate one meal a day for years and it isn't like I lost a ton of weight. I also found that my bowels were much more unreliable and never knew when the urge would strike. Now that I actually eat more than once a day, I feel better, sleep better, and am much more regular.

loafy013
03/14/21 7:07:38 AM

Been about a year and a half since I've played XI, but it also suffers vertical progression from what I recall. Once you hit 99, it becomes all about gear levels. 105, 117, 119, maybe a few higher. You don't want 105 gear because it would make you effectively 14 levels lower if you were rocking 119 gear instead.

OTOH, if you don't care about the endgame grind, there is no need to do it and there is plenty of content to keep you busy. You can solo content that used to be for endgame LS. As a casual player, I got dynamis clears either solo or with 1-2 friends. Farmed land kings and got a black belt. Solo'd to floor 100 in Nyzul Isle. Made a relic from scratch, then leveled it up to i119.

Suzanne and Taystee were two of the characters I really liked and felt they deserved better. I was also surprised how I characters I was indifferent to or hated at the beginning got me invested and rooting for them by the end. Hated Pennsatucky at the beginning but it was great seeing her trying to become a better person and Blanca seemed like a bad joke in season one and really got to shine in the last season or two.

Ferengi?

And fyi, DS9 (like most trek series) starts a little slow before it finds it's footing, but based on what you've said it's probably the series you'll like the most.
Funny, I really enjoyed DS9 right off the bat, but lost interest in maybe the 3rd? season. Once it started going off on all the war stuff, I lost interest. Would watch episodes if I saw it one, but didn't go out of my way to find it. Then when TNG ended and one of those cast members came over and everything seemed to revolve around them, I was done.

But I realize I am in the minority. I mean, I loved Enterprise, was indifferent to Voyager, wasn't a huge Data fan, and hated the over-reliance on the Borg for everything.

As for Star Wars, I'm pretty meh. Loved the original trilogy and had all the toys and read the original Timothy Zahn trilogy when it came out, but didn't really follow the expanded universe stuff after that. Prequels were Ok, sequels were a little below the prequels except the first one. Solo was trash, but I thought Rogue One is one of the best star wars movies in the franchise. Haven't seen the Mandalorian so no opinion there.
