Oh, and I think that game (Remnant?) needs 8GB RAM not storage.

Still hasn't appeared on GFN despite them promising it.

dang, might be it. Just looked for a number, didn't read too carefully

I'm sure that I have never, ever done that when looking at game specs.

Oh, it was better than that.
He gave me a magic ring that allows me to breathe underwater.
Why the hell didn't he give me that before? Then I would have been able to dive down for more than three seconds so that I could actually see the fish I was trying to kill instead of doing the floaty head, blind sword-splashing stuff like this...



Would have made the quest a whole lot easier.

After getting out of the water I ended up taking the wrong turn trying to get back to his house and found this rather epic looking place...



(I'm continuing to be impressed by the distant landscapes in this game. Seems way ahead of its time.)
I wonder what the big statue is? And if there's a way inside somewhere?
But not now. That's another thing to explore later. I have to get back to my horse now. Well, not "my" horse. The borrowed one. Memo to self: I HAVEN'T stolen it.

Oh and that reminds me. Just before I left the priory I had one last chat with everyone there to try and find out more about that chap at the stables that people didn't want to talk about (there's something going on there) and when I spoke to Jauffre he flipped out, got angry and took some of my stuff!
Then I realised that after I'd spoken to him before I'd done a bit of snooping around and snaffled a nice outfit including a stylish shirt with a collar and when I'd gone back to him he'd noticed that I was wearing his stolen clothes.

Second Memo to self: When talking to the locals make sure you're not already wearing their pants!

Tried to play Remnant last night... and Epic wouldn't let me log in again.
I sat there for several minutes waiting for the email with 2FA codes but, hours later, they STILL haven't arrived, assuming they were ever sent.

Just let me play the games that I own!

Woohoo. Epic finally allowed me to play Remnant.
And there were no GFN queues, despite it being early evening. I wasn't really expecting to get to the game, I was just looking to see if they'd fixed the login. But if there's no queue then I may as well attack some creepy glowy red things with a sword...



And I think there's some more hiding up there in an "upside down bat kind of way".



Not sure if I'll stick with this character. I rather liked the way the curly hair bounces about when you turn so I picked it just for that reason.

The first few minutes felt very linear but maybe it'll open up more after the tutorial is finished. But tutorial or not, I still lost far too much health.
I'm sure there'll be an Easy Mode.

It's not quite up to the Elder Scrolls level of customization but there are more options than Ark. There were a few different faces and hairstyles and some voice options too.
So far the gameplay is just a bit of Hack-and-Slash button bashing against the baddies but I'll see if/how it changes after the turorial.

Aaaand now the 2FA login isn't working again.

Infuriating.
