@BotsRuinedEverything My opinion on games and mods is that the first playthrough should always be vanilla. This allows you to get a feel for what the game is actually like and allows you to provide an honest review for the game. It also lets you know what parts of the game need improvement so you know what mods to look for.

One thing I would suggest is to get the Phantom Liberty expansion. It fits really well with the rest of the game and adds a merchant to buy missed Iconic weapons.

@Cptn_Slow I’ve only immediately replayed two other games. Mass Effect and Dishonored.

@YurkshireLad I hadn’t noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn’t see any restrictions so I’m guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.

@dresden Yeah. Goodreads lists one of its genres as Cozy Mystery which gives the books a nice, laid back feeling to them when read. The chapters are also short which I find helpful since I can fit some reading whenever I have time without having to worry about stopping mid-chapter.

@DadWagonDriver The series is Thursday Murder Club which is also the name of the first book in the series. It’s a murder mystery series. The fourth book in the series comes out September 2023.

@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It’s the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that’s probably accurate.

@echo64 I think the system wouldn’t be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I’ve only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.

@SignorPao @TheTechNerd Some nice Hall Effect joycons would certainly be nice.
