I've spent the last three weeks on the road, and every night I swore I was going to play and post something, and every night I found an excuse not to do it. But I'm back home, and while I still have plenty of work to do, I think you should see January levels of activity once I kick it back into gear.
I dithered with The Bard's Tale III and BattleTech a little during my absence, but not enough to get a full posting. Frankly, I forgot what I was even doing in The Bard's Tale III and probably because of that couldn't make much headway in the next quest. BattleTech didn't excite me at the outset, although I still want to write about it.
To get me back in the game, I need a bit of a palate-cleanser, so I'm going to try this Demon's Winter for a little bit and, once I'm back on the wave, probably alternate between it and The Bard's Tale III. More soon.

The CRPG Addict welcomes all comments about the material in this blog and other comments. COMMENTS ARE MODERATED, however, and will only appear once approved. Please do not resubmit a comment if you don't see it appear immediately.
If your comment does not appear, it is likely because one of the following rules violations:
1. DO NOT COMMENT ANONYMOUSLY. If you do not want to log in or cannot log in with a Google Account, choose the "Name/URL" option and type a name (you can leave the URL blank). If that doesn't work, use the "Anonymous" option but put your name of choice at the top of the entry. I will only make exceptions to this if your comment is so good that I don't want to lose it.
2. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant; that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.
3. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.
4. I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games. Please at least mention "ROT13" in the comment so we don't get a lot of replies saying "what is that gibberish?"
5. Comments on my blog are not a place for slurs against any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or mental or physical disability. I will delete these on a case-by-case basis depending on my interpretation of what constitutes a "slur."
6. Do not attempt to doxx me or any other commenter.
7. If your comment points out a typo or mistake, I will gratefully fix it, but I won't post the comment.
Blogger has a way of "eating" comments, so I highly recommend that you copy your words to the clipboard before submitting, just in case.
I read all comments, no matter how old the entry. So do many of my subscribers. Reader comments on "old" games continue to supplement our understanding of them. As such, all comment threads on this blog are live and active unless I specifically turn them off. There is no such thing as "necro-posting" on this blog, and thus no need to use that term.

Battletech was a favourite of mine (Don't worry. I won't abandon you if you don't like it). A few tips to make things easier and more playable. When you are controlling the mechs during the training, it is worthwhile intentionally failing the training missions a few times. This gives you a chance to up your skill levels before you get wasted by the enemy. It makes the initial stages a little easier. Don't worry. It scales quickly to account for a fully trained mech pilot. (You have to fail about 3 or 4 times before you're fully trained. So it's not a major grind)
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly there was flaw in Battle Tech, you could play whole game through without actually battling, except training in start and probably the final match. Just run away or flee when battle starts.
ReplyDeleteIf you wanted to simply convert the blog and re-title it "The CRPG Addict plays Might & Magic II: Gates to Another World" I, for one, would not complain.
ReplyDeleteAelfric, I'm trying not to anticipate MM2 too much, in case it disappoints me, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to just jump right there. MM1 has my highest rating so far, and I can only imagine that MM2 is better.
ReplyDeleteAD, thanks for the tip. I was just getting into training when I temporarily stopped BT for DW.
