@ChristianRasmussen I usually do that during the game, actually. When I come across a new quest, I make a save, do it making the decisions I normally would, then I read on it on forums to check all the possible outcomes, and if I like some outcome better, I load and redo the quest.

Though I do not usually need to load very often, I usually stick to my decisions, it's just that sometimes quests have hidden paths only accessible if you meet a certain condition or have a specific object in the inventory, and I want to check those paths. And it is mostly because I do not want to spend time going through the game all over again just to see one or two things I missed.

But Elder Scrolls is one of those games that you can play continuously for quite a long time, so I do not really do it with games like that, they usually allow you to try everything. Except for those quests where you have to pick faction sides, I usually have to save and load with those.

A bit of Space Marine 2 update for all and @TrendaTen, @ChristianRasmussen, @ramax, @GoLLuM13, @MohamedHl and @ZaidH. In preparation for the release, Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive shared a new gameplay video showcasing different weapons in the game:

Only a bit over a month left till we can cleanse the galaxy from mutants, xenos and heretics for the Emperor. The game should come out on the 9th of September unless it gets postponed again.

@DoctorEldritch Did you hear it hit the torrents?

[DoctorEldritch]

@TrendaTen Yes, but it was a pre-release build, not the proper game. And the developers asked so nicely not to play it:

@DoctorEldritch

The pre-build was accidently dropped.... just makes me wonder who got fired or did such a foolish thing.
The pre-build is only missing some few details, so really takes the suspense out of the game.

@ChristianRasmussen They seem to be trying to salvage it by interacting with the community more. Yesterday they put that "Q&A" post on Steam, for example.

But all is not OK with Warhammer 40K on a grander scale, too. There is a talk that films and series with Henry Cavill may not happen if Games Workshop and Amazon don't work out how to do it in the next few months. That'd be a shame. Although, to be completely honest, Henry Cavill may be a fan, but it does not guarantee good series, Witcher had many questionable decisions.

Ironically, both its first season's Nilfgaardian armour and the elven armour in Amazon's Rings of Power were not up to par. And for Warhammer good armour design is critical. I hope if the series does happen, that they cover that bit and make sure it looks good.

@DoctorEldritch

Yes sadly itg comes down to the Wokeness of our time. So many movies and series have been misused in the name of Identity politicks that I wouldn't mind seeing it fail rather then being misused for that.
Don't understand me wrong, a 40K movie or series would be great if it was in the spirit of the real 40K universe. But a 40K movie with present day politics overshadowing it all is a NO Thanks from me.

@ChristianRasmussen I think South Park had a special episode about that 😅

There are decent and semi-decent animated series in Warhammer 40K now, and to be honest, personally, I think it would be better for them to stick to the animated format for it. Politics aside, I am not sure how well they could portray the setting on a technical level and how much they would cost. Seems like everyone wants to be the next Fallout...

[ChristianRasmussen]

@DoctorEldritch

I am more afraid it will end out like Rings of Power. But we will see.

[DoctorEldritch]

@ChristianRasmussen I have not watched it. But I saw the cheap armour images, that's how I know about them, and to be fair they did look...budget to me. But I do not know much about it apart from that, it just isn't something I am into. By that I mean, I like LoTR, but basing a whole story in that universe on that little source material is not something I am too keen on watching.
