Secret World Legends Flame Away and The Body

 I played the original Secret World, and later the Legends version.  I usually make sure to do each mission and all side missions in an area, but this time I'm just letting the mission prompt decide where I go next. 

So Flame Away!  I'm to test the Flamethrower Danny created on a bot in Edgar's Scrapyard.  First I need a hose.  Too easy to find.

 

 

Then I need to test the flamethrower on one of the scrapyard bot guardians.  I've been having quite a bit of trouble with using things from inventory.  I also did not see that there is a separate Mission Bag way on the upper left of the screen. 

 I died finding out you can't use it by clicking on it in its bag. You need to drag it down to an extra little toolbar to the right of your main one, then use it with a Shift + 1     While a monster bot is in your face.

 

I finally got that straightened out, and next up is a mission, also in the Scrapyard called The Body.  I have to check lots and lots of cars to see if a key I have fits.  Bots galore, and plenty of times bonus zombies pop out when you have the wrong one.  I think I tried every car in the place.  Somehow I missed it on the first round.  I'm getting more confident in fights on the plus side.

 

My inventory is overflowing and I bet I can't open those bags of loot because I haven't room in my Inventory.  I thought I knew where to sell junk in town but neither the sheriff's office or a nearby Apothecary had any place for me to sell stuff :(

Next Time:  Dawning of an Endless Night 7/22 Follow the Trail Left by Beaumont. 

Secret World Legends: Trespassers and Boys Will Be Boys

 It turns out my rest spot for the night was a hippie encampment.   I tried to talk to the residents without any luck. I did miss a guy named Che over by a car, but he wouldn't have been helpful as it turns out.

 

My Mission Journal gave me a clue.

 

I did find poor Tom, and that's all the mission needed to complete. 

Off to locate the mission objective Boys will be Boys.   There was no reasonable road path, so overland we go.  You can't go far before some crazy shows up, with a creeper crawling towards you in the background.  No wonder the game makes me paranoid.  

 

Then, it's over a short span of water which is filled with draug.  Of course it is.

 

You make it across only to arrive at the skate park to help out the Boy named Danny Dufresne.  There's a cutscene, where he asks for help getting his little spy drone to fly over the enemy camp which keeps shorting out his little plane.  Previously he used it to spy on a teacher.  

 

For next time!  I'm having trouble using anything in my Inventory.  Nothing works to open bags.  I have a dog.   I could really use a dog in this game.

 

Secret World Legends Still at the Junkyard, With The Barrels

 

This game still looks so good.  F11 to take screenshots.  In theory, F to interact.  I'm picking up green barrels, though, and I can't set them down by any of the four nearby barricades.   Figuring out the controls is half the battle.

I thought I was farther along than this, but maybe I got stuck and backtracked to complete some things I hadn't done through all three tiers.

I'm scared as always, thanks to ambient noises and the way monsters here rush up on you, usually in groups of five.

Good times. 

The Continuing Adventures

I'm having the best time pouring through old files.  Above is a character from EQ2, I think.  It's a game I've always wanted to play through, but I tend to get bogged down in the starting areas trying to figure out where to go next.  I should load it on my laptop and try concentrating on a single character until I figure out how things work.  It should be the owner of my little apartment in Qeynos, right?

Salaryn's Sword, the reboot will be a little different than my usual gaming blog.  First, I'm going to go full retro digging up the old stuff while still writing about the game of World of Warcraft as I now play it.

I only plan on one regular feature, Screenshot Saturday.

10 Posts a month remains the goal.

I'm going to add posts about Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror films, TV and Books.   The themes of these fit perfectly with the types of games that appeal to me.  

For any pre-written posts, post time will be 5:30 pm Central Time.  Like this one!  Happy Gaming!
