PSA: Game Discounts

[Tamas]

So can you play it without War of the Chosen first, if you have the expansion already?

IIRC yes. And you should.

I'm really not getting why. It seems to be extras for the main game rather than an addition to the main campaign.
Unless you fancy playing the whole thing twice?

War of the Chosen turns it into a new game, so effectively if you play the vanilla campaign first you get twice as much mileage out of the game.

WoC is far harder and you have way more things to manage.

You don't HAVE to play the vanilla version to completion but you should try.

I cannot even figure out how to turn off war of the chosen.

Can't you choose which version to launch, at start?

Thinking about getting Pathfinder: Kingmaker in the Steam sale - but I am reading a bunch of negative reviews.

So I come to the people I trust, what say you?

It was a buggy unfinished mess on release, it got considerably better with patches, although I haven't finished it yet. It's certainly enjoyable if you're into the genre.

Any update on this? It's on sale today for $16....

I enjoyed it. The bugs seemed to have been fixed.

Yeah I've liked it

Is there a lot of story/rp aspects or is it more focused on fighting?

It is story driven, decisions determine story paths and have effects on the types of encounters you will have. There is also alignment restrictions from the rule set.  Most of the rule set was incorporated into the game.

Nice!

Tomb Raider is free on Steam until Monday (you keep it if you add it to your library now). Also its two sequels are at a heavy discount.

Region of Ruins is free on Steam at the moment, it's a bit like last/lost Kingdom, sideways scroller but with RPG and strategy elements thrown in.

well it was free last night, I just ignored the price tag and then signed into my account, which then gave me the option to add to account rather than buy.

Star Control Origins on Humble Bundle now.
It gets a lot of flack, and its not Star Control 2, but I really enjoyed it.

[Zanza]

Plague Inc. is 60% off on steam at 5.99 Euro. Just bought it.

[mongers]

Can't you choose which version to launch, at start?

Yes. The launcher has both options.
