August will mark 10 years of playing Rimworld for me.
Obv its not the only thing I play, but I come back to it every 3-4 months after little breaks. Was the same for Mount and Blade till the sequel came out. The sequel was both such an upgrade and such a downgrade it made it hard to keep interest. It’s been probably 2 years since I booted that up. Maybe I should give it another try.
Downgrade? I’m curious what you didn’t like about the sequel. Was it the family/diplomacy/story being too in your face? I think that was my only real gripe, but not a big one because it was interesting and easily removed if I wanted with mods.
That was an aspect, but I think it was how much dumber the AI became. I remember the “conquer everything” objective being doable in the first base game, but your allies act so poorly in the sequel that its basically in doable.
Oh, aye, I can see that. I personally hated the whole, ‘let a noble go and he suddenly respawns with an army’ thing, so I just started executing everyone once I had a good army and the skills to maintain it myself. I didn’t have to worry about allies once everyone hated me.

How is the sequel a downgrade? (I don’t know basically anything except playing one of the games for half an hour-ish)
