Finished Chapter 3 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. I was trying to do the side missions before going for the story mission but had very high level enemies around, so after trying that for a while, went for the main mission.

Have just started chapter 4. Going to explore and do the side content now.

Also played some Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Game is progressing well, but I think I'll get tried or bored of it. Just not feeling much enjoyment playing it.

I shared most of my feelings a few back, but one annoying aspect I missed was loot system. Each companion has their own loot, which I find a bit annoying. In DA: Inquisition, I played as fighter, but any non-fighter equipment, or light / medium armor I had, I equipped it to my companions, even heavy armor that I wasn't wearing went to them, same with weapons. But now all that extra loot is useless. Feels very restrictive in an RPG, and it made me lose interest in loot quickly enough.

Well, that's about me, what about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?

I haven't had much time to play this week, but things are looking better again. I really need to put more time into Brothership again. I beat the third area and then just stopped playing again.

And it's all because of Monster Hunter Wilds. I'm knee-deep in high rank now and I'm starting to appreciate the new structure of the game. I've always been the kind of guy who grinds out a single monster until I have everything I want before moving on, but with the whole world constantly moving on with local events and monsters spawning in forms that give distinct loot, the old quest format, while still here, just isn't the way to play anymore. I was taken aback by that at first, but I've really been enjoying the variety this leads to.
