  • Laughless Saint absolutely has its own identity. You can obviously see and feel the Elder Scrolls influence, but it’s different enough to be its own thing. It has somewhat gothic vibes to it, there are no elves but there are “beast-people” like lizards bears and cats, and there are non-playable beast races like frog-people turtle-people and crab-people. The lore is also quite different from Elder Scrolls, but does feel pretty “Shivering Isles”-ish which imo helps in its favor. The combat is more like Skyrim however, so you’re not relying on invisible “dice rolls” for your hits to land, but there’s no dual-wielding and you have to actively switch to your magic like in Morrowind. There are also minimal loading screens, as the entire world is loaded in from the start and there are no “interior cells” so it’s all seamless exploration; you can go from where you first get control of your character and explore pretty much every inch of the island without coming across another loading screen. There’s no fast travel or quest markers on by default, but there are settings to toggle those on if you’d like them.

    The story basically goes: you share a dream that calls you to the island along with every other sentient being on the island. Most people are a little strange at best, and some are downright crazy. There’s a “Saint” that calls people in that dream to come to the island and set them free, but no one knows the true nature of what it is.


    Tainted Grail is fun and very dark. It’s built less around making yourself as powerful as possible and more experiencing the story of a crumbling Camelot, but you can still make yourself ridiculously OP. Like I said before, they keep adding free DLC that add new unique weapons and armor, new fighting styles and spells, and I think there have been a few quests added as well. I haven’t played the main DLC “Sanctuary of Sarras,” but I’d really like to because I really like “Old Ones”-themed stuff.






  • The first game runs perfectly fine up until one of the first missions on the last island. When I first played it on RPCS3 and got to that mission, it’s visual bug when an enemy gets a giant aura like Longshadow from DC that causes the game to crash. The fix was actually really easy (though I don’t remember what it is now) and it made the game work flawlessly.

    Infamous 2, however, would only work for me when I chose the Good start. I did two playthroughs of 1 for Good and Evil, but in 2 I could only complete the Good side of the game. Anytime I tried to start a new game from the Evil start, I would make it about 30 seconds and then the game would completely freeze with no way out other than to close the program.




  • The first picture made me think this was the Tainted Grail DLC (Sanctuary of Sarras) which I really want to play. I really need to get back into that game tbh, the devs keep adding free DLC like new weapons and combat styles, new armors, and even new quests sometimes. Sanctuary of Sarras is an aquatic/Old Ones-themed story where you fight crazy undersea mutations and monsters.

    I’ve also been playing The Lantern of the Laughless Saint and enjoying that quite a bit. It’s advertised as a “Morrowind-/Elder Scrolls-like” game where just about every object is interactable, every NPC can be killed regardless, there’s spellcrafting, broken skill mechanics, all of it.
