Since playing the newly released Enhanced Edition of Icewind Dale was a pleasant experience, I decided to give the Enhanced Edition of Baldur's Gate 2 a shot. Eh. the tightened UI and bug fixes were nice, but the added companions and quests are somewhat lacking in the writing department. For some reason, they give your PC some totally new "sarcastic smart-ass" lines that don't really fit, even if they are kinda funny.
Example: You're exploring a long-forgotten tomb when an a giant sword-wielding undead badass cuts off your path and asks "What are you doing here?!" and one of the responses is "I'm having a three catastrophic bad ideas per day phase, and I'm counting the visit to this tomb as two".
I got a chuckle out of it, but it just doesn't fit the mood. But there are numerous quality-of-life improvements that eliminate some really frustrating features of the original, like greatly increasing the size of the arrows/scrolls/potions you're allowed to stack in the same inventory spot, thus decreasing the tedious micro-managing, balancing some spells, giving better ability/spell descriptions etc.
I'm interested: Would you recommend this or the original with mods? I get the feeling that this is mainly for people who think modding is too complicated or Ipad users. Is that the case? Although, tbf, I'd totally get this on ipad.

GTA SA. Cruising along the highway from Los Santos to San Fierro with Blood stain Child's Stargazer playing as I 'acquire' cars for the import/export list.

I thought it would be the best just to buy one game this time -- being a tunnel brainer -- and it was Tyranny. I'm not totally liking it, besides the similarities to Pillars of Eternity, I don't really find much good things to say about. The game feels pretty limited with character creation; and with other stuff too, like the locations seem too small and there is very little to interact with, like a lack of characters. Somebody wrote on steam reviews that game appears like half unfinished, and I pretty much agree with that statement. I prefer Pillars of Eternity and Torment Tides of Numenera to this. The game gives me the impression that there might be some interesting developments when you proceed further and see how the relations to the characters and factions will result -- maybe that is even the whole point of the game. Let's find out !

Currently trying to get all achievements in Hotline Miami 2, which is basically torture. I'm only missing a few A+ ratings and the 50 000 kills to finally get there but those Richter missions are so absurdly hard to get a good rating in, you need to full combo the whole level. I love this game so much Best soundtrack in any game ever btw
