Are the house rooms predetermined like that? So you have to put in what kind of furniture they think you should have? If so, I immediately like the game less. :dry:

The houses that you buy (there's one in each of the cities that's available after doing enough quests there) are completely predetermined, but the homesteads that you build have more variety. They're still completely modular though and have specific plans that you have to follow, so it's not like the buildy games that you play where you construct in a wall-by-wall kind of way. :confident:
Of course, if you want different kinds of houses then... Mods!

And (switching games as I do) I have now completed day one of Firewatch and... Oh- spoilers. Better shut up. That's the trouble with story games, you can't really talk about them. :)
But I'm enjoying listening to Delilah, she's very funny. Especially when she said- Oh, yeah. Spoilers. :shrug:

And (switching games as I do) I still haven't uninstalled Hellblade yet so I thought I'd have a quick play through the opening sequences again and they're even better second time around when you understand what everything means.
Should I play through it all again just to find that missing Lorestone? :hmm:
I don't know. :shrug:

I did. I missed two of them, maybe the same you missed. I also wanted to play through it again anyway.

Did you complete the second playthrough on the same day as the first? :P

I suspect my missing lorestones were in the very dark place, which is in the second half of the game so it'll be a while before I get there again. I wish it had chapter selection/replay. :(
I knew I'd missed some when I didn't get Druth's Truth at the final gateway.
I do want to play it again but I also want that 30GB back. :lol:

And even though I said I probably wouldn't play Saints Row for a while I did indeed have another go last night. I got to the point where it opens up into the free roaming gameplay and it continues to be preposterous fun. It has some good character customization tools too and gives you a surprising amount of equipment/options right at the start. If it was smaller I might have installed it already. :dry:

No I did it the day after. It only takes a couple of hours to get through once you know the game, although it feels a little disrespectful speeding through it that fast. I seem to recall I missed one on the way to Surtr. Somewhere near the puzzle gate where a load of enemies spawn. The second I missed was on the beach near the hanging tree where you get the sword even though I thought I had walked all round that area before moving on.

I still have it installed, so I might have another run through it, if Bjorn lets me.

Two hours?! :ohmy:
It took me over 15 for the first playthrough.

But I do spend a lot of time in Photo mode. :oops:

Photo mode does add a significant amount of time to a play through
