Not much to say about the new year for me (being 3 mos in., but for... more of the blehks.... years worth of blehks. Not really the best time for a portal user to be paying attention. yepyep.. thats about it. sooo... in a sudden panic, i headed for the nearest escape portal and ...
ok, at first, only the bare bones basics gave me anything to hold onto... pretty open world... which i really like... but things quickly became most confusing.. there really wasnt much explained.. the horridness of which was where do you get all the 'currency' it was asking for. like the, objects you needed to give to the statues to level them up.... and what happens should you actually manage to do so... and what about weapons? how do you get better? defense?.. is there such a thing? lots of questions.. after a little bit, i put it down and returned to portals i better knew for a time... but now I'm back, and already much is improved. several questions have been answered.. others are still out there. but i have hope i'll get them figured out before too long.
Genshin Impact
free to play but for the things called wishes and such.
a bit heavy on the graphics but sooo awesome! theres a fair bit to do... and quite a bit of room to do it in as well. its a big place. you have an option between 2 siblings who become seperated at the start of the intro. you then meet other characters 3 of which you add to your party. each one has thier own unique skills.. and you can quickly switch between them to best effect. there are quests to get through.. puzzles and badguys.. and random chests with useful treasure and food to gather. Thus far i have spent considerable time running here to gliding there peeking into every glade, along every shore and into every tree just to see what all there is. the monsters will present a good chalenge when encountered, no matter the level you might be. Experience and coin can be found within quests, as well as just being out there, pickin up foods, cooking, talking to npcs, questing, learning the history.... in the cities, towns and the countryside. you can learn alchemy, cooking recipes, the benefit of artifacts, you can check out the tourist shops, your local adventurers guild, or ..something about furniture? or just run or glide about untill you stumple upon a storyline to follow. just have a care for the weather. it's well worth it to check out if you have a computer that can handle it.
