So this is sort of like the pirate version of Ark?
Personally I've been playing through Zelda BOTW a little bit every night. Its been great so far. The first few hours of it though made me wonder what all the praise was about but once I had all my runes and access to the whole map it started to impress me. This is probably one of the best games I've played in quite some time.
The challenge level went from feeling steep at first to somewhat easy after I figured out cooking, which wasn't really explained.

I love the game but I will say I would appreciate a few lengthier dungeons sprinkled in. I realize that the linear dungeon is maybe a bit of a relic of a bygone age of technical limitations but the immense freedom is a bit daunting in BoTW at first.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun and I am even enjoying the story cutscenes and characters (as much as a Nintendo game can offer that, anyway).
Beyond that I picked up Subnautica (PC) the other day and am having all kinds of fun with it. It's a very pretty game and has a lot of different viable approaches (at least it seems to so far). Plus it'll get the adrenaline pumping when you encounter some sea monster at 300m below surface with half your oxygen already depleted, lol.

Apollo wrote: View PostI hear you. In open worlds I have trouble following the main quests because I feel a strong need to mess around and explore. For instance I took down the giant Elephant mech before I was officially even shown on a map where it was or why I should fight it, I thought I had stumbled onto some sidequest; I'm still early on in the main quest. I also found an island in the far south east that appears to be the ultimate dungeon challenge. Have you found this yet? If you're looking for a longer and much greater challenge you might want to go there. I bailed, I only have four hearts and two stamina circles.Last edited by Miekenstien; Wed Mar 21, 2018, 09:13 AM.

I am getting really good at coming into the docks at a good speed, dropping anchor and being right beside the deck. Just get your treasure unloaded and it doesn't matter if they steal or destroy your ship, you get another one. You will lose anything on it if you don't unload first though.
So far their are another asshole pirates that steal all my stuff, or idiot pirates who leave their stuff unguarded.
Can't win navy battles solo.

Or take the scooner, and when you are on straight water go to half mast, set a good course, and climb the birds best. Give a quick look around, run down and make your adjustments.

It was so satisfying lol.
Our plan tonight is to get a bigger crew on a galleon ship and head toward a skull cloud to take on a skeleton army and get the key to their hoarded treasure. Wish me luck!

It was better to pick off-skills as your majors in Oblivion to avoid over-leveling the game.
It was a good idea but the execution was a little bit off.
