What's a good sweet spot given how screwed GPU prices are? Apparently I have plenty of time since I still don't have a loving key.

Don't buy a GPU now. For what I paid for my 1080 half a year ago you'll be very lucky to get a 1070 now, it's ridiculous.

Seems the game is back to preorder status on Steam. That's something I've never seen before.
I thought it maybe had something to do with the first patch but that was supposedly baked into the preload.

Don't buy a GPU right now. Bitcoin idiots have pushed prices up to insane levels and it's not even remotely worth it right now. You'll literally pay double MRP in many cases.

I'm glad they let you save Theresa from being raped. I ran up behind one and smacked him in the head and she ran off, and I got a quest complete (optional) thing so I guess its a real thing. I tried and stand and fight against the guy that follows you immediately and he was like an expert swordsman who killed me in like 2 moves

If you have an nVidia card, the game supports Ansel. Press ALT-F2 to enable it at any point in the game, after which you can move the camera freely and apply all kinds of filters to make gorgeous screenshots.

Alternatively, you can accidentally clip the camera inside a random villager and get this:





Some random villager's head from the inside, and the view from inside his (or her?) torso, looking up at the head.

Also geez how hard is it to lockpick in this game. Three tries and your lockpick breaks so you can barely even practice it

Took me forever to figure out you can't swing with a gamepad without locking on. Mouse has no such problems.

Where did you find it for 40

VanillaGorilla

Nthing the opinion that it’s often dumb, and occasionally goes beyond “jank” toward frustrating/broken.

That said, there is something here - they’re doing a decent job with broad story and context, the combat is weird, but more engaging than, say, what Bethesda does. I’m enjoying it. Maybe I’ll hit a point where it turns me off with its problems but I don’t regret buying it.

I think if you can see past the turd layer covering the hidden gold in most Piranha Bytes RPGs you’ll enjoy this ok.

Cdkeys, a few days ago. Not sure if the price has gone up though. Certainly better than the $60 I was going to pay for DW9, up until this past weekend when early impressions did not seem promising.

I have a few level points to use but I'm not sure what I want to go with. I want to use speech as much as possible. I've passed all but one speech check at this point when I said I wanted to go back home to bury my parents.

How do I learn to read? I like that sitting in a pub near a window gives you a reading boost.

You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
This was $40ish bucks in my country, it's pretty rough. The combat system and the animations feel like they'd started designing everything for VR and then when they realized that most people don't have VR said gently caress it and just pushed it out as it stands.

I also love that the game told me speech was an option so I chose it as one of my starting stats, then trolled my by making me fail my first speech check against the drunk. Well played, game. At least I was able to beat him down the third time I tried.

I figure if I made it through Elex's first ten hours I can make it through this. Though that game did promise me laser weapons...

Congrats, you ran into the same bug I ran into several times. If you're outside, just leave and come back later to try again. If you're inside... well, hope you saved recently.

(sometimes you can kinda kludge your way through the doorway by closing it, then as you open it again, just keep pressing down W. If that doesn't work, try to kinda flail your mouse around as you walk into the doorway, and sometimes you'll find the magical angle that will let you through. But not nearly every time. poo poo sucks.)

Find a scribe and pay them. I think it costs 50 money for a basic lesson. Reading is kinda neat, because when your skill isn't too high yet, the letters in the words are all scrambled and it's up to you as the player t decipher what they mean.

People are apparently failing the first speech check, doesn't mean it's useless for the rest of the game.

I'd be tempted to put points into it, but I don't want to get wrecked during combat

Your speech is modified by things such as:

Your reputation

Your appearance (You will fail tests if you are dirty or bloody)

The disposition of the target


You will always fail w Kunesh. Either beat his rear end, stealth knock him out, or break intok his house and steal the stuff, or pick pocket him

Aside from an occasional animation glitch the only issue I have had is Henry has hell of problems getting up certain staircases. I didnt encounter this till i was out of the prologue.

Combat is fun and I haven't really had any issues except for the final fight of the prologue where I got my rear end handed to me. I think that's supposed to happen. Enemies go down pretty quick once you start using feints, dodges, and timed blocks. I'm pretty terrible at the archery through.
