Weekend Confirmed 134 - Dishonored, XCOM, Star Citizen
by Garnett Lee, Oct 12, 2012 11:00am PDTDishonored, XCOM Enemy Unknown, and some Retro City Rampage make up the veritable fruit salad of videogames devoured on this delicious Weekend Confirmed. Shacknews managing editor John Keefer joins Jeff and Garnett for the feast. They take their time enjoying it all, getting into the highlights from a trio of games that brought them plenty of delight while being careful to talk in terms that avoid spoiling anything. Of course Borderlands 2 still manages a cameo with the debut of the Mechromancer this week and its first DLC coming next week. And naturally the conversations include plenty of twists and turns, but we wouldn't want to spoil that either. All that, Finishing Moves, and the football tailgate make this one tasty episode.

In D3, the only player choice that sets one wizard apart from another is the gender right at character creation time. Otherwise all wizards are the exact same. Same skills. Same access to weapons. Sure, weapons can be different, but the auction house, like reloading in XCOM, gives the player direct control over that part of their story.
Torchlight 2 on the other hand is designed for you to tell the story of your character. Your skills and attributes are set in stone and may be wildly different from others. Your choices have permanence, just like in XCOM my choice lead to the death of Captain Dangle at the hands of three Floaters (yes, this actually happened).
I know you guys don't have the 40+ hours it would take to get through a standard play-through and an additional Ironman play-through, but try reloading as little as possible. Let people die when you fuck up. I think you'll find it much more rewarding.
