Gaming progress

Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year break, which I took additional few days off to make it longer, to catch up on my gaming.

Haven't really got time for gaming (or anything else really) with the workload and all those overtimes. For months now I would consider myself lucky if I don't have to work in the weekend.

Whatever gaming time I managed to get recently, I devoted it to Diablo III. Season 22 to be specific, which I managed to complete with a witch doctor very recently, end of January beginning of February thereabout.

Before that I think I was playing World of Warcraft, which I stopped in October last year, just before the Shadowlands expansion. Would just be a waste of money if I continued the subscription, given the insane workload.

Anyway, I have a backlog of games I want to play. There are still games that I have bought when I was in England that I still haven't touched, and many games that I want to revisit or to complete once and for all.

Between then and now, a two years time period, I managed to complete Diablo I, and am at act 3 with a trap assassin in Diablo II when it got put on hold. I still intend to continue the Diablo II nostalgic journey. Also on revisit of games, I managed to complete Starcraft II Wings of Liberty campaign again, but stopped in one of the zerg's mission in Starcraft I campaign. Not sure if I will continue the Starcraft I journey...

Somehow I can never get very far with Dungeon Siege, while I really would like to complete that game at least once, it feels more like a chore to me than an enjoyment. Another game that I have stopped cold is Neverwinter.

Re-installed Baldur's Gate I and its expansion Tales of the Sowrd Coast back in April 2018, wanted to complete the expansion so I can finally moved on to Baldur's Gate II and eventually complete the saga. This is the game I am playing nowadays, after close to three years hiatus.

Restarted with a new character, still sticking to the plan of a thief dual class to mage in Baldur's Gate II, so basically playing as a thief throughout Baldur's Gate I. It seems like by the end of my Chinese New Year break, I will end up where I ended up last time: just prior to entering Baldur's Gate.

Hmm... I hope I will still have time for gaming after the break. Really don't want another hiatus, want to at least complete all of Baldur's Gate I this time, so that I can finally move on to Baldur's Gate II.

There is this other game that I have just re-installed though: Torchlight, which is taking up some of my gaming time because I am preparing myself for the barrage of questions from the kids.

Surprisingly, elder son has progressed further in Starcraft I than I expected. In fact, he is close to completing the Brood War campaign, I think just a few missions left. Perhaps this will be the first game that he actually completes?

He is showing sign of his usual "five minutes passion" though, saying he is bored with Starcraft, asking me to re-install Bomberman for him a few days back, which I did, and which he played for a grand total of two days... So I installed Torchlight for him and the younger son, which they will start playing this coming weekend, if they want to. And then the questions will start.
