I dunno, Niko's really growing on me, if only because he seems genuinely concerned about my health and safety (stay in the light!) and has never once belittled my choices as I do his work for him like that Alva bitch.

That said, I don't think I'm gonna miss any of the current masters, personality-wise. If their crafting benches go with them, that, I will miss. And their currency exchange rates.

Don't you mean you're so relieved Delve is being made a permanent part of the game? Dead critters exploding in a path you have no choice but to take, forever!

A permanent optional part.

Fuck running through Alva's stupid time machine, too, getting stabbed by phasing shit that I can't stab back.

Speaking of optional, I just made my first public stash tab and couldn't even keep up with the requests.  I assume it's "hot" time to trade just as a league ends, but damn.  Apparently I sold a very valuable version of some evasion armour wayyyy lower than it should have gone for, which the second person to ask me about it was kind enough to berate me for.  Yeah, motherfucker, like you were gonna offer me more than I was asking.  I just wanted to not buy another tab, this currency is gonna rot here in my standard stash.  Although with the hideouts permanent and linked through leagues, I might just have some use for specific master favour runners.

I was considering picking this up.  As I mentioned elsewhere, I am not doing well right now and need long, engaging games to keep me tottering on the side of not gibbering.  How does it stack up difficulty-wise to like, God Of War or Horizon Zero Dawn?

Thanks!

New interface is nice, one bench to rule them all, so far I've unlocked several mods just running through the game from NPCs and nodes in the game, and fumbling through the Betrayal content seems to have given me a few more.  No clue what I'm doing with that.  Seems designed for the headspace of someone who's staying up for 50+hrs straight to hit the top of the ladders, though, all stringed connections and paranoia.

It is nice, but now I can only store one big inventory hogging green item, instead of six. Mules can only bank what they wear, their backpack, + one 16-square item, instead of 6.

Pack rat tears. I will cry them to Einhar. He will listen, because he loves me. Though he won't understand, because to him, it makes good sense to sacrifice mules and pack rats both.

I've concluded that I don't need a clue, regarding the syndicate. Already at the Riverways, I was told to stop a caravan that was faster than I am. The answers are undoubtedly in repeat grinding below-level patsies & mooks. Interrogation seems boring, so that's probably the best choice. Accordingly, I do whatever the second option is.

"Remove XXXX from Immortal Syndicate"

Like, forever?  Aren't there challenges I need him for?

Fuck sakes.  Change all the mechanics.  Add new mechanics.  Add old mechanics that I have to remember.  Change old mechanics. 

Make me run Einhar through the whole stupid Riverways which I think I actually spent less time in during my entire playing career than I did finding his stupid rares.  Goddamit.  Make me Delve before I've had a chance to forget and then remember that you need to buy dark resistance.  Sulphite... not every map anymore.  Haven't seen any since Niko's intro quest, actually.  Fuck sakes.

Hideouts.  Everywhere.  No cool fights to get them, just extra trash.  Find them once, and never again?  I don't know.  Motherfucker.

HEY REVAULTING!

SAFEHOUSES ARE LITERALLY RESKINNED BREACH(lords' Domains)

The crafting minigames are neat, so there's that.

Whoops, hey there Aisling. Long time, no see.

Took until the Ossuary in act V until I found more damn sulphite, almost two full acts staring helplessly at that damned unfinished "blow up wallz" quest.

Having played an Arc build last league and the previous challenge league, I wanted to avoid that this time around... guess what 3 of my first four Vaal skill gems were?

Protip:  Watch out for Abyss triggers when you're trying to catch the convoy.  It's just a mess.

The rewards table isn't complete yet, but still pretty helpful.

I can add that Cameria produces a chest with sextants when he's assigned to research, and surprise, a chest with sulphite scarabs when he's with intervention.
