I usually steer clear of anything pvp related, but this game looked too good to pass up... and it sure as hell is.

Game has been taking over all my free time since it launched, anyone on here feel free to add me Angumar#4057 - always good to have more folks to join up with

Just getting on page 1 of this one - MAGA :usa:

Please God let it be so, Trump #47 :usa:

It’s slow at first but it’s a great game. One of my all time favorites.

Its a fantastic party/turn based rpg, but as several other folks have said, you have to be into that kind of game. Had some friends that bounced off of Baldurs Gate 3 recently for the same reason, you have to be into the stories and enjoy all the reading and party mgmt to really get into these games... but if you are into it - they are some of the best examples of the genre out there.

~50 hours into my first run, still in act 1 (lvl 6) - game is absolutely fantastic, has completely taken over every minute of my free time.

will definitely be doing at least one additional 'evil' run for sure

anything with Giamatti in it is at least worth a glance, trailer looks good - thanks for the link

I love this game. I was like let's just see where this passage goes. 2 hours later I'm on the top of hyrule castle

same exact feeling, hah started this morning wanting to do some exploring and I just ended up beating the game (before I had finished all the main story quests, but I had done the 4 temples) once I got into the zone and realized what was going on, just couldn't stop playing - such a fantastic game - looking forward to going back and finishing some quest lines I missed.

I had kickstarted the Sanderson secret project books and then promptly forgot about them - thanks for the reminder on this one Book Board, read it yesterday and enjoyed it quite a bit.

enjoying them very much so far, about 52 turns in on an Astragoth RoC campaign (VH/N) - really don't feel that they are OP, definitely have strong units and mechanics but its balanced by the amount of tweaking you need to do to keep economy running efficiently (labor vs raw materials and armaments output etc).

Looking forward to doing some bigger IE runs with Drazoath, not very impressed with Zhatan (just seems like a suped up Overseer)

but yes, enjoying them very much as well as some of the other quality of life stuff they added in patch 3.0

tons of great places to start, some suggestions:

Eisenhorn series - spectacular, focuses on inquisitor and his retinue, get a good sampling of his interactions with various races

Gaunt's Ghosts - more standard military sci fi, focusing on a commissar and his unit

Ciaphas Cain - a more action adventure along with some comedy (which is slightly rare in 40k) again focusing on a commissar

Any of the space marine battles / anthologies can be good depending on which faction(s) you like.

Are you more interested in 'good' factions, evil factions? regular humans and their struggles or space marines / aliens etc?

Its a fantastic universe with tons of variety

If you want to go hardcore and get a good idea of the basis of the current events, you can start the horus heresy novels, which are currently running about 60 deep I think, they focus around the huge imperial civil war that took place 10,000 years before the 'current' timeline so ~30k
