(it was bad)

It lacked the ability to run around naked with a 6 foot long purple dildo as your main weapon as a hot woman with big honkies with the cockney voice of a Jason Statham impersonator.

Not every game can have the charm level of Saints Row 3 unfortunately.

They abandoned the ridiculousness of the previous ones and paid for it. It was bland.

Except the LARP'ing quest line. That was fucking incredible

So, this game Wildermyth has been pretty great. We've probably put like 40+ hours into it thus far, and are nearly through the second campaign. There are neat features, that to a pretty new RPG player seem really cool, like permanent transformations, legacy characters that can be recruited in later campaigns, children of characters showing up as new recruits, etc. My lovely wife has been getting a kick out of some of the lighthearted silliness we've put into the game, like naming the first campaign characters after LotR characters (which is fun, because we has a tanking warrior named Gloin; in the second campaign we recruited a character who turned out to be his son, so now we have "Gimli, Son of Gloin" rolling around in our 2nd campaign with fucking Tuco Salamanca, Walter Jr, Lydia Rodart-Quayle and Gale Boetticher). It's been a blast even though the game is a little buggy- shit like the video being really choppy when all the enemies start doing their attack turns, kind of like when Sonic gets hit and all the rings slow things down on Sega Genesis.

While I think we still have a ton of time that we can put into this game (there are like 15 campaigns), and I've read about some folks putting in hundreds of hours, I went ahead and picked up something I think will be in the same vein, but a little more of a "serious" vibe- Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Anyone have experience with that one?

Well, Wildermyth turned out to be a complete bust. Not because it wasn't fun- we were having a great time playing it and following the stories and creating the characters and legacies and whatnot. But into the 3rd campaign, the game crashed, we got corrupted data and could not recover our game, though we tried like a million ways to troubleshoot it.
So we purchased the downloadable version of the game. Played through the first campaign and the same data corruption crash happened.
Extremely frustrating.

Out of that frustration, we decided to check out Divinity: Original Sin II. I had played maybe 90 minutes through the basic, initial tutorial. It's a lot, particularly since I've never really played any RPG like this. I never did the WoW thing, etc.
Well, my glorious wife was on call this weekend, so we had to stick close to home, and man- we both started to really get the hang of this one about 5 hours or so in. There's a really big learning curve, and a ton of things going on in a huge open world, but the bride seems to be super into it.
Which, I suppose makes me a very happy husband.

As if I needed to spend more time with my wife, since the start of 2026 we have both started golfing ~3 times/month and playing RPG video games together.

Sometimes, life is fucking good.

Yeah, I see that name get tossed around all over when people are discussing DOS2; I guess they're by the same company or whatever. If I'm not mistaken, it is not available on ps4 though.

But! if this continues to go well, perhaps a PS5 could be our "collective, family gift" that we typically to for Xmas. 8 months ago, I would have never have fathomed that even being a possibility, so that's cool.
