I am also from Germany. Political and cultural developments that happen in the US will in some form arrive in Europe with a delay of about 10 years, at least that is how I often felt.

Bass Player here, I am pretty confident this is a flute.
Started reading Atlas a couple of months ago and put it aside after a third or so. I am used to reading “conventionally boring” stuff but this was such a slog. Super sterile, the characters are stereotypical, the message Rand wants to bring across seems awfully clear very early on. It may be the historical context that makes it more interesting, I didn’t see it, though. Just couldn’t do it.
Reading your comments on this thread is a relief, maybe there is nothing wrong with me after all.
Yes I put it there to point out that I enjoyed even more mediocre games like Pillars more than Divinity. Thus my confusion.
Steam says I got roughly 25 hours in. I remember that I really wanted to enjoy it, but it didn’t come, so I put it away.
I enjoyed both Baldur’s Gates, Planescape Torment, Pillars of Eternity, Arcanum, Gothic, I don’t know, pretty much RPGs across the board I think.
I love CRPGs and was excited when I got recommended this game - it got a lot of praise. Unfortunately, I found it to be tedious and overall uninteresting. That wouldn’t be worth mentioning if this game wasn’t on every top-rpgs-of-all-time list… I honestly don’t get it and I am confused.
I laughed hard enough to realize I lost too much life time to Excel.
There is dozens of us!
Sacrifice by Shiny.
I still think it is one of the absolutely best games I ever played. Totally unique gameplay, story and overall feel. The world really sucked me in for a long time.
I think didn’t get the love it deserved at all. I would be so excited if it ever got remade or a sequel but it seems unlikely.
I played that a lot, also the second and third parts.
I remember starting the first game, I had no clue what to do and I put it aside again. Then I tried again, somehow got over the extremely high entry barrier in terms of difficulty (or so I remember) and I loved it. That feeling when you got your first decent ship or later on stations… It was a wild ride.
What was that movie again?
I second this - am a reddit refugee from Boost.
Yes, I am intrigued how this will turn out. I think I see potential in the federated approach in this regard.
I feel reminded of the old days of the internet. It is invigorating discovering this Fediverse. Everything feels a lot more engaged than Reddit. I think it may be a good thing if this does not “take off” completely.
YES for Sacrifice. This game is a piece of art. I don’t get how it was never remade or it never got a sequel. Such a loss…
