Uhhh can give a game with no combat, but it doesn’t have the rest. Well, female player character helps too, right? Heaven’s Vault is a game about Aliyah and her traveling the rivers of the universe and finding artifacts or writing written in ancient and translating it. I like it, some prime find parts very janky. Can’t die, I’ve tried in the few areas she can take damage.
I only got to play a bit of The Secret World (or was it Legends or something?) and it was really fun! I was sad I had found it at the end of life. My memory is bad, so my only real memory was er…I was helping around some Haunted Indian Reservation, and the daughter of the owner was rightfully complaining about people coming in and white knighting (and being male) and we panned over to my character…chinese ass woman standing there. And it acknowledge that! She was like “Guess not all the time though” and it was like!!! Excellent!!!
I personally love the game, hence the several new game +'s before I had to restart. But it’s also very niche? The gameplay is finding inscriptions (usually on items found during exploring, sometimes on walls or…other ways) and translating them into English. This is done by learning parts of the language and placing words it might be below. Also all sentences have no spaces cause whhhhyyyy would the Ancient Scribes use spaces? But new game + adds longer more complicated phrases (or shorter ones, those are also hard because like…the word “so” is used so rarely it’s hard to nail down.). The story itself follows Aliyah as she travels the rivers of the nebula to learn the past of the nebula. The first time you play you are likely to…not understand a lot. It’s very VERY easy to accidentally whoops into the point of no return area in a few ways. You can miss an entire place that has a ton of info. But that’s new game + for yoouuu! Find more places! Numbers are also hard. There is no death as far as I can tell? I’ve tried to kill Aliyah. So is it even a game if you can’t die? I know some people would say no! Also the controls for moving her are clunky, and sometimes you’ll figure out what a symbol means before the game will have it among the possible options at the bottom. “Why aren’t you giving me the word for “goddess’s” game, I knoooow that’s what that set of symbols must mean! It has the word for divine, human, and possessive!”
Heaven’s Vault is the closest thing my brain has let me have towards a hyperfixation for awhile. I’ve missed it.
Very good girl cat! She leveled all my characters!
For me, it’s audio in the background that I can interact with if I want.
Sometimes the people are funny too, but it’s not like my first monitor. Streams are a second monitor thing, with me doing something on the main. Reading, gaming, writing.
Also sometimes I’ll watch the various leagues to see people do games I’d hate to play do really really well at it.
While I’ve thought about linux, actually making the switch is scary.
I can put together a computer, that part is easy. It’s very fancy lego! The software scares me, and it often just gets weird on me. I’m unsure why. Tech support is also confused, because they’ll watch me follow instructions and then it just explodes.
But with linux I would mostly be the tech support, and that seems dangerous for having a machine that works!
Maybe the windows 7 machine can be made into linux. It still worked, after all. I only switched because I wanted to still play games.
I miss Warhammer Online. Sometimes I play the fanserver, but the feeling is not there. The past is impossible to get back to, sadly. Still nice to visit though!
