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?

Shouldn't doing the side quests increase the level quickly? I am currently doing the Affinity missions after the Chapter 3 story mission. It's fun solving problems and just exploring.

I am looking for a new board game to play with family. We have Catan, Dominion, Carcassone etc, looking to add something new. Any suggestions?

Board games! Now you’ve got me talking!

I recommend Unlock. (Look for Unlock! Heroic Adventures) It is a set of cooperative escape rooms in a box without any scary stuff.

I also recommend Meeple Circus. It is a dexterity-based stacking game where you are part of a circus running your own act and trying to put on a better show than the rest of the table.

I love Pandemic (may be a bit hard to play depending on how old your kids are) and Ticket to Ride. There's also versions of the latter with smaller maps if you want faster games.

Exploding Kittens tends to be a big hit with kids in my experience, and it's a also decent game for more casual adult players.

Yeah, multiple people have recommended Pandemic, so will give it a try. Have both of the other though, with 2 variants of Ticket to Ride.

For some reason I don't get why people like Exploding Kittens so much, the game feels pretty average, but people seem to love it. Maybe it's all that weird art style which attracts the kids.
