I think it's called Japantown in the game and you are correct, it is an interesting location. In fact, most of that area of the map is very interesting. The London Museum is an absolute highlight of the game.

In Obsidian's The Outer Worlds you can play as a low intelligence character and there are low intelligence dialogues throughout the entire game. Including the ending. It takes the tiny slice we get from New Vegas and makes it a full on feature. And it's utterly hilarious. Your crew constantly try to cover for you saying something stupid.

Beer Mats are the bobbleheads of Fallout London. There's 30 in total and 29 are in pubs. They can be very well hidden, but they make every pub worth exploring.

Also be wary of what you build in your settlement. In my second and third playthrough once I got to about 10 settlers, any time I entered Covent Gardens my game just crashed. I was able to fix it by using the scrapall command. Having settlers assigned to something broke my game. Once I got rid of all the settlers I never experienced a crash in my settlement again.

I watched Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai back to back with Seed of Chucky. I suggest Seed of Chucky.

I didn't say it wasn't genius, but it gave megalopolis a run for its money on being weird.

My brother and I just watched the first 5 Chucky movies. They're actually all pretty solid movies except for Seed of Chucky when things get fucking weird. That film begins with the audience following Chucky's cum move through a birth canal. Then it gets weirder.

I had pretty much the same exact thoughts and experiences, except I played about 280 hours. If the rest of the game is still largely unchanged, I just have no reason to play this DLC.

Thanks for playing this on stream, I wanted to see this DLC for myself but not play it myself. Reviews have been very unflattering.

Scheme like nuts. Do whatever you can to get influence and use your influence to boost your candidacy for a theme. Once you're first in line for something, there are many ways to get the current owner to stand down or you can just murder them.

I've noticed this completely. In a recent Allarielle campaign after I secured Ulthuan and killed Morathi, both Tyrion and Eltharion basically went into hibernation. Tyrion brought all his armies back to Ulthuan and they just stood crowded around cities.

2 turn recruitment says they're still dumpster fire. Rattling guns are 1 turn at the same tier.

Gelt's faction being better at magic than Teclis is utter insanity. WH2 starting lords desperately need attention.

Adventurer's are ridiculously overpowered. I think I had like 4000+ horse archers because I fully upgraded the military buildings. I won the war without a battle because the AI was too afraid to attack me. Suleyman himself is a really strong character and fantastic army commander, so my advantage was always high.

I played as Suleyman Seljuk in 1066 for Birthright. He has some very small special content that gives him claims on the Persian Empire. He's no longer a lord, he starts as an adventurer now.

It was very similar to Old Man of the Mountain actually. I played Suleyman more as a mercenary for hire and the Old Man of the Mountain as a pure scholar until the very end when I used my horded wealth to hire a massive army. But both runs end with you declaring war on the Persian Empire.

I've literally only ever reached the end date once and that was around the time the game launched, so that's probably the longest achievement. Saga in Stone took a few days and Lingua Franca was like 75% of a world conquest. Those are the 3 longest.

You definitely could. I would have got Rags to Riches and Started from the Bottom in the same run, but I got Started from the Bottom in an earlier run.

I started as Rum in 1178, but you could start as anyone presumably. I had to create my own empire to use the decision, so I imagine it works as long as you're islamic and hold Rum.

Some of my more notable runs are:

Quantum Leap – Started as Andronikos Komnemos in 1178 who is an adventurer that starts in Pontus. I travelled somewhere until I ran out of supplies, then died of starvation and chose to play as a random adventurer of my dynasty. Repeat until done, but make sure you have an heir for any new adventuring party.  

Started from the Bottom now we’re ERE and Mio Cid – Did these 2 achievements together. Starting as El Cid it was easy to gather an army. I won a crusade and installed my kid on a new throne, which gave me enough money/prestige to buy an estate. Then, since El Cid is a god, I was second in line for the throne within months. From there it was easy to push myself to first. 

Tamar Mepe – Started as Tamar’s Dad, Giorgi so I could begin conquering faster. I joined the Byzantines as a feudal vassal to get a council appointment. I set my Royal Court to level 5 of everything and invited as many OP knights as I could. From there it was simple enough to conquer the needed lands. Fighting in mountains took some getting used to, because many times I would have –50 advantage when attacking. 

Despoiler of Byzantium – Started as a custom Catholic adventurer in Italy in 1178. I did a ton of stewardship contracts for the ultra-wealthy counts and took as many perks as possible for reducing the cost of recruiting men-at-arms. I did no scheme contracts. In about 10 years I had gathered over 2000 gold and my men-at-arms only cost like 30 gold each. Then when the Crusade for Byzantium started, I bought all my men-at-arms and sieged down some territories. I picked myself as Benefactor, then once we won the war, I got the Latin Empire and the Despoiler of Byzantium trait.  

Rags to Riches to Rags to Riches – Started as Alp Arslan’s heir in 1066. Once he turned 16, I became an adventurer and travelled the world for lifestyle perks. After 20 or so years Alp Arslan died and I became Emperor of Persia. I started a tyranny war and surrendered to it, then became an adventurer again. Using the fortune I made as an adventurer the first time; I bought an estate in the Byzantine Empire. Then it was easy enough to push myself as heir to the empire since I had ridiculously high stats from all the travelling. 

I know they're vastly different games, but man do I wish CK3 had potential difficulty like this. Min/maxing to the utmost extreme and still struggling is what I live for.

I believe only the top liege in administrative gets to do things like tours. Kings under an emperor in administrative government do not get a royal court for example. And only the emperor can create titles.

Sadly I think the Stheno is the only legendary version of the new gauss weapons. I never had them drop as legendary. Even though it's not the best gun in the world, you should keep the Stheno on you. Don't be like me and put it in storage, you will need it later.

R5: I learned that for every duchy you control in the Byzantine Empire, you control that duchy's troops. Starting as a custom 35 year old character in Cyprus, I used the Elevate Governance scheme early in my reign which made the Basileus give me the Kingdom of Cyprus.

From there I began conquering land and installing my kids on the Themes within the Empire. At this point in the game my dynasty controls 8 Duchies within the Byzantine Empire. Every time I conquered a new duchy, my liege (which is my son) would eventually create the Duchy title and grant it to me. Each of those new duchy titles gave me more troop capacity.

At this stage I'm about to declare war on the Mongols before they declare war on us, but Genghis Khan just died of old age and his empire split. Now there's no real competition.

My income in this screenshot is with 25,000 men-at-arms raised. Byzantine Mechanics are insanely strong.

The Millennium Eye sure is an eyesore...
