No, just a subverting of tropes isn't Weird West to me. As I said, it has to be significant. Something that implies much larger implications to the setting/world. Examples: steampunk tech, some alien/scifi tech, magic users, fantasy creatures, etc.

Even better for me is if it feels like a seamless addition. Like if everything about the town is a standard Wild West town but is also a low magic setting where some heirlooms have enchantments or a magic user is uncommon but not strange.

I've always loved the idea of Weird West. I don't know if there is a widely accepted "definition" of Weird West but for me it's almost anything that breaks the Wild West tropes or setting in any fantastical/absurd way. All of this to say I would put this in the Weird West category in my own personal interpretation.

TLDR: In my personal opinion, any significant addition of scifi/fantasy/absurdist things to break the Wild West mold is Weird West. So yes, I see it as Weird West.

I love the next-ui and have started to daily-drive since it has everything I need from it atm (I'm not a moderator). Two suggestions: One, it would be nice to have it remember my last selected comment sort option, and two, maybe adding RES-like keyboard shortcuts could be on the roadmap after everything else. I love the work you've done so far!

 

I'm only level 5 so I only have a few weapons/stratagems unlocked but I'm interested to hear what everyone finds the most fun.

I agree. However I don't think they need to be barred from the community. As long as they are properly marked, like spoilers, I personally wouldn't mind.

I think some states require that you be registered to the party for primaries and some have open primaries.

I get it. Servers and infrastructure aren't a zero cost. However, without an alternative to get a lot of these games, it feels very shitty. Plus the DS and Wii services went down not that long ago.

I was wondering how a DLC turned full-release would turn out for them. I haven't played an AC game since Black Flag, but I was hoping this might have gotten me interested again, especially with them returning to the classic style of the originals. Nothing I've seen from reviews or video gameplay feels compelling to me about it.

I would love to see the Monk class again. It was my favorite in D3. Mostly I miss the Mystic Ally and Exploding Palm builds. If they could do anything even remotely similar it would be hella fun.

I'm usually listening to a podcast or an audiobook while fighting the hordes.

Which, for me, just makes me want to play less.

Personally, I'd like to play a Minion Necro build if they actually buff it a little. Everything I've seen for Minion Necro shows it doing everything a little worse than almost any other class. I'm currently doing Barb atm.
