Zaphod42 posted:Same. Drinking to save kinda sucks but savescumming also sucks and if I can, I will. Too much of Skyrim is saving every literal 30 seconds. Playing not that way just feels like you're being punished. It's called "having integrity"

The saving system was a good idea in theory but so was *checks notes* communism?

The music is fine when it's just generic fantasy elevator music like the near-entirety of Jeremy Soule's oeuvre, it's pretty bad when it tries to be dramatic, like the near-entirety of Jeremy Soule's oeuvre Save system is garbo Skill system is bad too but it makes me feel like I'm cheating the system when I use the infinite time in the tutorial area to harvest plants and jump repeatedly so its a wash A lot of the perks are dumb and feel more like starting traits you'd pick in fallout First impressions I award this a Risen out of Gothic 2

I think the save system would be fine if you didn't have to buy the booze. If you just had to go to a tavern and refill for free and over time you could buy bigger flasks that'd work out alright. (basically Dark Souls estus) With having to purchase it turns into a pretty severe reverse difficulty curve where at the start you are broke and can never save, but later you won't care. Saving gamers from quick saving their enjoyment away is a worthy thing for devs to do. Also no save on exit is crazy.

Anyone saying this is a bad game is outright lying and for some reason thought it was going to be a clean running game deep down. This game is a beautiful mess. Like if Brad Pitt suffered a stroke that left the right side side of his body paralyzed, level pretty and mess though. Hop in now if you can deal with that, if not wait and see if patches/physical therapy can make it work better

This part is the dealbreaker for me - I'm down with not savescumming and making sure that there is risk or whatever but I also need to be able to stop playing when I want to. Made me go PC and install that save game mod straightaway.

Is there any way to repair armor, or should I just drop the various bits of loot from the discarded bodies of my enemies since it's already at condition 0?

So overall im hearing the game is fairly fun, looks good and has reasonable sword combat. The rpg elements are lacking compared to Bethesda titles but for sword swinging adventure its a good no-fantasy time. Appenrtly the English voice acting is awful but German is fine. Also bugs a plenty make the game feel more like a beta. Would goons agree the current verdict is good but wait for the bug fixes patch to come out?

Just finished the Uzhitz quest line and holy poo poo that was hilarious.Gridlocked posted:So overall im hearing the game is fairly fun, looks good and has reasonable sword combat.

I just binged it for ten hours today, it's a good game with some flaws here and there but nothing you can't easily look past. Don't go into it expecting AAAAA fifty million dollar budget Skyrim and it'd be hard to be really disappointed. Also literally every RPG lacks compared to Bethesda titles

Phi230 posted:Lockpicking is loving stupid This is probably the worst lockpicking I've ever seen in a game. If there's a mod/cheat to disable it I'm gonna immediately use it. Gridlocked posted:So overall im hearing the game is fairly fun, looks good and has reasonable sword combat. The rpg elements are lacking compared to Bethesda titles but for sword swinging adventure its a good no-fantasy time. Yeah I'd wait to see what the first big patch does. It isn't a proper sandbox RPG like TES, Fallout, or even Gothic. It is more like a AAA 'open world' game like Shadows of Mordor, GTA, RDR, etc (some of these guys did Mafia 2 so makes sense). I think the English voice acting is pretty good. The dialogue sometimes sucks, but the people speaking it do a fine enough job. They do the usually Hollywood thing of native country speakers == British while everyone else has whatever accent. It's just funny to hear heavy German accent character being harassed by the locals going 'Oi us people here in Bohemia don't like your kind around here!'

Yes but key thing on 'rpg elements are lacking' is in skill system not in how the world reacts. It's a definite buy, but wait

Internet Kraken posted:Watching a guy swing his sword at an invincible NPC to grind a bunch of levels at the start of the game. HELLO HENRY  HELLO HENRY HELLO HENRY HELLO HENRY HELLO HENRY I SAW A MUDCRAB THE OTHER DAY I'm having fun with this game but I would make the caveat that I'm having fun because of how janky it is. I'd say that it's a jank/fun combination similar Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, but without the boot of justice. I found an npc guard in the starting castle that became invulnerable but not plot protected from being stabbed, so I just stabbed him under a bridge until I was level 16 and broke Sir Rodzharhagdhghg's sword on him. I find the idea of weak peasant blacksmith boy going under a bridge, roughing up a man with a sword he's supposed to give someone, and then coming out as the incredible hulk that can crush people's heads through plate armor with his bare hands.

Tip: turn the spoken language to German. Feels a lot more authentic- 13th century Bohemians speaking fluent Queen's English is kind of awkward.

I just got done escaping and I feel genuinely bad about leaving that woman to the rapists but I had guys surrounding me and I just couldn't even look I had to book it. I am a monster. Someone mentioned a savegame mod though? I don't see it in the OP but I mean...I am an adult and need to be able to turn the game off when I need to stop playing and have it save so kinda important.

If nothing else, I think it’s worth picking up on sale because it really is something different - the story isn’t like amazing but it is playing out like a neat piece of historical fiction, which isn’t something we get a lot of in games. They also put a bunch of detail in the codex and item descriptions. Like, I give them credit for having an idea and really going for it. They fall on their asses a bunch but a bunch of people make lovely games that are also stale and derivative and at least this isn’t the latter.

If they were free refils and you could always safe on quit (but loading the game back up consumes that save or whatever) then it'd be a pretty solid and fair system.

No matter how many times you flee and surrender and try to explain this is an important mission from important guy that requires horses to be punched. the no exit save has basically guaranteed i have gotten no further than meeting my friends at the tavern and thats it so far. But I've been having fun trying to break the game for the 5 min bursts of gameplay I've been able to have. Rock Puncher fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Feb 14, 2018 |
