Did you spare Syanna? What mutation did you pick? And what armor set did you end up crafting?

Yeah I did, was there an ending where the queen didn't die?... not sure what you're asking otherwise... I got the mutager and got the Hen Gaideth armor in one of the missions but haven't crafted anything yet...

obviously I'm missing something.

Playing a little bit of Starpoint Gemini 2 right now. Picked it up in a Steam sale awhile back. Fun little space sandbox. Think I got it for $5-7 and it's been well worth the money for what it is. I think I still prefer Evochron Legacy when it comes to space sims though. Starpoint is more along the lines of EVE where you're micromanaging ship tactics, whereas Evochron was more twitch based like Star Citizen will be /w joystick.

Still regularly playing Star Wars Galaxies on the Legends server too. It's a pretty active community and they're adding new content from time to time. If you ever played that MMO, the Legends server is free and typically has about 1000-1500 people on during prime time.

Whoa, you let Annarietta die? Is that what happens when you choose to confront the Unseen Elder instead of rescuing Syanna from the Fairytale realm?

I got the mutager and got the Hen Gaideth armor in one of the missions but haven't crafted anything yet...

Which mutation? Like Euphoria, Mutated Skin, Cat eyes, etc. And I assumed you would have crafted one of the Grandmaster Sets (Ursine, Feline, Griffin, etc.), but it sounds like you found some solid vampire gear with the route you took and never needed it.

Yeah I went that route... if you do, Syanna kills Annarietta right in front of everyone... the final ending was pretty damn long and pretty well done so I figured that ending happened no matter what. Guess not.

Oh I have a couple of grandmaster sets (Feline for sure, I'll have to check which other ones) but this one I found is boss hog. I tried beating Dettlaff with my GM set and he shredded me... he could hardly harm me in this HG set.

The new mutation unlock is a bit confusing for me, I have bought a couple thus far but yeah, not sure what the whole thing does (I don't spend too much time trying to break it all down if I'm honest... with this game and how deep it is, if it took any real effort to understand a part of my build I just ignored that part entirely and focused on the stuff I did understand).

Whoh, this gets released on Steam in 3 days.
IrishinFL, did you guys ever finish this one on SNES in your Twitch stream?

Hi everyone,
This week we’ve announced some very interesting new features coming to the Secret of Mana remake and I’m here to run you through them!

Co-op multiplayer - one of the main things we’ve been asked since we announced the remake is whether or not co-op would return, and I’m glad to announce that yes, it will! The Secret of Mana remake will let you play offline multiplayer co-op with up to two other players, so get your friends together!
Multiplayer update – we’re not just adding multiplayer, but actually improving it too – now when one player casts magic all other players will be able to continue playing, without having to wait.
The music – the Secret of Mana remake is going to come with a brand new rearranged soundtrack, but for those of you who loved the original (or just want a trip down memory lane) we’re going to include the soundtrack from the original game too, and most importantly, you’ll be able to switch between them whenever you like!
Interlude episodes – these are brand-new to the remake and show all-new scenes and interactions between Randi and the friends he meets on his adventure.
Game log – now you’ll be able to look back at Randi’s adventure to remind yourself of the story so far from the game log. If I don’t play a game for a few days I often forget what last happened, so I’m going to find this particularly useful and I hope you will too.
Achievements – if you want (and manage) to take on every challenge in Secret of Mana then you’ll probably want to be able to show off how well you’ve done, and now you’ll be able to!

Just watched a bunch of alternate endings I hadn't seen before on YouTube. That's the worst possible outcome. The average outcome has at least Annarietta surviving, and if you make all the right choices, they both survive and reconcile.

Fair enough. I only ask because some of them are really powerful, and completely change your playstyle.

I actually liked it... the part where you visit her grave after was well done.

I'm willing to learn... I look at it now and am like, "......, ....,... Okay, so back to building my Axii sign..."

They're all well done! That's the beauty of the game. Even the "bad" outcomes are so well-written that they don't feel out of place.

Euphoria + a Combat/ Alchemy build does stupid damage. Haven't had time to play around with the one that makes Aard freeze opponents, but it sounds fun.

I wish I knew if you just communicated with my in English or not... lol

Here's the mutation grid:

Euphoria's the one highlighted on the far right there. Doubles your sword damage/ sign intensity when your toxicity is maxed out.

Here's the build you use for maximum damage output.

My Man... I was going in the other direction... I'll go that route.

Other posts from earlier in the thread that might be helpful to you: (1) this one has a lot of build advice, but also goes into detail on decoctions, potions, enchantments, glyphs and runes; and (2) this one is a short guide on how to dominate Gwent.

I definitely don't need the second one...

when it comes to Gwent, I'm sort of a big deal.

I just noticed the mutation that makes crossbows boss hog... that's my bag baby.

If I restart the story with my current build is everything's difficulty level increased?

Yes. New Game + scales everything to your current level. So if you're level 43 now, the very first ghoul pack you face in White Orchard will be level 43 as well. You also get access to some better gear that isn't available in your first run through, but it's mostly located in the endgame content (like Blood & Wine).

New Game + on Death March was my favorite play-through. Very difficult, though. You've got to be seriously optimized not to be dying left and right. The Cat Eyes mutation can be fun, but it's arguably the weakest of the bunch. You'll likely have to adjust the difficulty down a bit if you want to play that way.

Haven't gotten the chance to sit down and play as much as I wanted to lately, but Monster Hunter:World is absolutely incredible. Making some game mechanics less obtuse has worked wonders.

New Overwatch hero Brigitte confirmed. Seems like a cross between Reinhardt, Lucio, and Torbjorn.

Started a New Game+ on Witcher... it's amazing how much you don't understand playing through it the first time... I had no idea wtf was going on half the time now I'm like, "Oh, okay..."

Repair Pack looks amazing, but her Special seems underwhelming. It'll probably be OP for all I know though. I often guess wrong on how things will effect the game.

Great character, compelling quest-line, gives you one of the best Gwent cards in the game for beating him... what's not to like?

Though I've only ever gotten his "good" ending (which is still pretty dark). Some of the others sound rough.

Great quests and all but what do you think of HIM...??

Obviously not a good guy since he caused his wife to miscarry by beating her and alienated his daughter by being an abusive drunk. But he seems genuinely contrite, and wants to make amends, so it's hard not to feel at least some sympathy for him. Good example of CD Projekt Red's complex character writing.
