Divinity Original Sin 2: How it's Going

Dumpster fire. That's how it's going.  As you can see by the currently visible toolbar, I am overwhelmed by items and skills. There's a whole lot more not visible. I am a great lover of OC inventory management but this is intense. Left to my own devices, I fail to reveal important clues and quest items, wander off into areas where I am under-leveled, die in relatively lengthy battles and quit. I am still on Chapter 3 and expect to be there for awhile. Guides, maps and forums it is then. 

Watch Dogs 2: Yep. Watching them dogs

  This is just one of the many head turning moments I have experienced so far in Watch Dogs 2. I got off to a bit of a rough start. After finally surviving the introductory mission, I tried to talk to some nerds in a game shop but accidentally slapped one around instead. Law enforcement was called.  I developed a distressing habit of shooting up hotel rooms in Red Dead Redemption 2 and got pretty used to waiting  in the lobby for the sheriff and agreeing to leave the area. Not in San Francisco. Player character Marcus actually put his hands up and tried to surrender but nooo, nerd slapping ends you apparently in this game. In fact, you never quite know what all you can get away with. It depends on the NPCs. I tried to do a main mission but failed repeatedly. When I looked it up, I realized that I was likely to just continue failing and decided to explore the city for a while. It turns out that this is just the ideal game for me. You get rewarded for being a tourist and taking photos. H
