I normally play "good guys" or at least morally suspect anti-heroes in #Skyrim.

The former assassin turned loving father and protector of the realms. The light fingered thief who uses his skills to clear ancient dungeon tombs. Or the reformed Khajiit street fighter turned monk using his martial arts skills to right the wrongs of Tamriel. I also usually play on the side of the Empire because..ew.. Stormcloaks?

But I decided to play a different, considerably less honorable and morally bankrupt character.

a "trueblood" Nord orphaned at a young age he spent his formative years in the Riften Orphanage. Years of abuse and mistreatment by the proprietor left him hateful and mistrusting.

He fell in with a bad crowd, started petty theft and pick-pocketing until he picked the wrong pocket and was caught by the thieves guild.

He worked for them for a few years but his methods were less than subtle and he had a tendency towards violence that didn't sit well with the rest of the guild.

When a heist went terribly wrong he came under the eye of the Dark Brotherhood who tested his resolve with a simple "pick one of these three captives to kill" test. He passed by slaying all three without hesitation.

It was during one of his missions as a Dark Brotherhood assassin that he encountered a vampire. He didn't think too much about the bite or his odd fever afterwards... ... until it was too late that is.

Meet "Wulfgar the Bloodied" Vanpire Assassin, specializing not in stealth but loud, messy and corpse strewn mayhem.

This is a legit play-through of my pack from start to here. I've done the main (Alduin) and Dawnguard (DLC) questlines. I've also completed the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood quest lines. And just really have Dragonborn questlines in Morrowind and a few Collection DLC questlines to complete.

Just occurred to me the juxtaposition of the 2 games I been playing lately.

Valheim. Vikings! Trolls! Gods! Hit shit with axes and arrows, cut down trees to build cabins! Run everywhere, take forever to get there!

No Man's Sky (in VR) Space! Teleports! Fly across a solar system in a minute or less! Alien creatures, pirates, Sentinels! Shoot lasers pew pew! .. ok you can still cut down trees to build cabins, if you wanna.

Been thoroughly enjoying the Cosmos update via the 10th Anniversary Expedition in NMS. I've been playing it since almost the beginning, so it's pretty cool to hear the commentary from Sean about each big update to the game.

Valheim has also been fun, playing with one of my few friends. She's been more into it than I have. I got it .. IDK at least a year ago and had put a couple hours into it before falling off for whatever else. At 13 hours played now I'm finally starting to understand the various systems and such. I do feel they could do better with some things, esp the crafting/building. Still, enjoying the time I'm spending with it.

There's an accessibility tab. There's a screen reader. There's high-contrast mode, UI scaling, color filters, reduced motion, and more.
I can’t believe I’m saying this but: I need a Steam Deck now.
Accessibility isn’t just coming to gaming — it’s here, and it’s official.

The list of accessibility options on the game's page (PS5) says that it is "playable without motion controls", which is the exact opposite of what I want to know.

I mean if that's how it's phrased they can just not bother implementing it and check the box. Useless list.
