    Pathfinder, for those not in the know, is a
    competitor to the tabletop Dungeons & Dragons
    game (the rules were, in fact, originally a
    modification of0XC2M the 3rd Edition D&D system).
    But it's since become its own thing, so it's
    deserving of its own video game. Like the
    tabletop game, the7N2XV video-game interpretation
    doesn't take too many chances: it's essentially
    a clone of "Baldurs Gate" style CRPGs, so
    if you like those, you'll probably like that
    one. The sheer size of the game - and some
    of the game's rougherVP32B edges - may put you off.
    But if you persevere, you'll probably have a
    very good time with this one.

    This is exactly the kind of game I would enjoy but I was busy today
    and was away from my computer. I am letting you and everyone else know
    that the code was already taken.

    It may surprise you, but we're accumulating quite a number of c.s.i.p.g.action Christmas Carols. But here's another to add to the
    roster:

    ------

    (to the tune - barely - of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas")
    (also, try to sing it as if you were Bing Crosby)

    (Verse 1)
    I'm longing for some free video games,
    No need to spend all my money.
    With a pocket full of nothing to claim,
    I'll dive into the virtual today.

    (Chorus)
    I'm dreaming of free video games,
    Where all the players come and play.
    No need for awful DLC or MTX,
    Just pure enjoyment in our games

    (Verse 2)
    Once upon a time, with empty pockets,
    I found a world where fun awaits.
    A virtual escape from life's cruelty,
    Where imagination unlocks countless gates.

    (Chorus)
    I'm dreaming of free video games,
    Where all the players come and play.
    No need for awful DLC or MTX,
    Just pure enjoyment in our games

    (Outro)
    Oh, the joy of free video games,
    Where happiness forever remains.
    In this digital wonderland, we'll stay,
    With games that inspire,
    All just to brighten our day.

    ------

    Speaking of free games, isn't that the whole point of this post? Why,
    I think it is! Well, we'd better stick a free game in here then,
    otherwise all these electrons would be going to waste. We wouldn't
    want that!

    A song and a free game; what more could you ask from a 2023
    c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away post! Enjoy the game, and try not
    to let the tune become too much of an earworm. ;-)

    Ho-ho-ho!




    Not my type of game, but it looks cool

    This was a freebie on Epic exactly two years ago, chances are you
    already have it (truth be told I didn't realize that until just now).

    I got a duplicate code message for this one so someone took it
    already.

    I played its free weekend a few years ago. It was kind of fun, but no time!

    Metal Guru, thank you for this post.

    It was added to my Epic library on 12/24/2021 along with the Bloody
    Mess DLC.
