So this thing coming out finally then? I backed it at the base tier on kickstarter years ago with "expected delivery date: December 2015" and as far as I can tell I'll supposedly get a steam key through my official-forum profile on the 13th? What's the overall verdict -- is this game gonna be good or did I waste my money four years ago? Any consensus review emerging yet?

Popete posted:I don't think anyone really knows, it looks promising but there is also a lot of red flags (alt-right dev, little open world explanation, combat may suck or be awesome). I'd say at this point it's got a 40/60 shot of not being a steaming pile. Ok, well at least I already spent my money before I knew the dev was alt-right, so I can play with a clear "I didn't know" conscience One review I saw said there was gameplay around the monastic-hours clock so that's cool. What's this about Actual Pooping?

DreamShipWrecked posted:This seems like one of those sim games whose devs spent so much time trying to implement so many systems that they forgot to check to see if any of them were any fun. Yeah this seems like a good predictor. I sank my money on the kickstarter at the lowest tier years ago so it's a sunk cost now, I'm mostly just hoping it has some entertainment value in there somewhere.

Archonex posted:I didn't want to seem like I was complaining by just ranting about the video. But yeah, all that poo poo happened too and it had me laughing my rear end off and wondering where their QA budget went. At the moment, the way it's sounding so far, it's reminding me a lot of how Ultima Online was when it first came out -- a stinking hot mess of an awful game that was still worth playing anyway -- at least if you could play for cheap -- because it had some new and interesting ideas mixed in there.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:It was linked so I could get Beta access, but I don't have any way of getting the actual game. I checked their website and I don't see any way to link the account. They mentioned in a backer email that some Soldier level backers would need to contact them directly to get activation. Their whole setup seems pretty janky start to finish.

Der Shovel posted:Kingdom Come doesn't really have "throwing points", though. You do something, you get experience in that something. Get enough experience in that something, and that something goes up a level. Every other level up you get a perk point in that something. A Speech perk point can't be used for Warfare or Swords, and vice versa. Is there any sort of curving based on the starting points? Like if you put all your starting points in Strump is it easier or harder to raise Strump further?

Der Shovel posted:Yep. After that whatever you do, you get better at it. And if you want to do it when it counts, boy you'd better do a lot of it! Like for instance, before you hit Bow level 5, you can't even hold the bow right and will injure your arms every time you shoot unless you wear vambraces. So bunny hop a lot to raise vitality? I'm gonna need to macro this poo poo aren't I Just powerlevel bunny hop

Any particularly good place to use them in the starting village? I feel like I should be able to clear this place out far more efficiently than I've managed to figure out so far.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:There's a +2 charisma perk really early in the herbalism tree. There also seems to be a permanent +2 Vitality buff if you win when the drunkard attacks you. Not fully confirmed yet. One big question: what is the EXACT path to get Fritz to give you lockpicks? Whenever I try, my dudes just decide to gangbang the drunkard, which works, but doesn't give me lockpicks.

iGestalt posted:Someone mentioned +2 Vitality perk or something from beating a drunk. Which drunk is that? All I know is I got a +2 vitality permanent buff in the very first town and it showed up right after fistfighting the drunk guy who won't pay your dad. The fight where he attacks you after you fail the speech check. It's visible under buffs, as "resistance." Can't figure out how to get the alleged lockpicks from fritz though.

bees everywhere posted:I picked the perk to make my horse go faster at the expense of carry weight and boy was that a bad choice. I really hope there's a way to respec. Yah, the only obvious perk choices I've seen so far are: 1) Mule under strength for more carry weight 2) flower power for +2 charisma bonus from carrying herbs under herbalism Perks I've been considering: Thickblooded under Vitality for slower bleeding, since there' s no downside horsenip under herbalism, herbs in saddlebags makes horse shy less

The writing in this is good in a weird way. Like there's real depth of character and characters even have arcs and change, but it's also melodramatic also to the point of camp (*cries over parents*). Choices are meaningful and have impact. It's not flashy-good like, say, Planescape:Torment or something but it's solid and it gets the job done.

PaybackJack posted:This game is definitely way better than it should be given that it's been years since the kickstarter and it's the developer's only game. Megazver posted:It's made by the guy who wrote and designed Mafia and Mafia 2 and people from that team. Ahhhhhhhh that makes more sense then I'd basically written off this game two years ago as a wasted pledge, so it's really been one of the most pleasant surprises I've gotten from KS. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:How well does using archery targets work for leveling? Seems like the source of arrows would be an issue. I'm *really* bad at archery so far for some reason, it hasn't clicked yet. When I had to do the hunting rabbits quest in the main storyline I ran out of arrows and ran around sprinting after rabbits to stab them with the Seax and got more kills that way than I had with the bow.

Nalin posted:So, everybody level up your Maintenance skill. At level 6 you get a perk called Stuffing and it is absurd. Stuffing makes the noise rating drop on equipment you have personally repaired. And by drop it means sets to 0. Beer4TheBeerGod posted:That's really weird. I can recover every arrow I shoot unless they break or I lose it. I need to start collecting these tips into some form of guide, all the online ones I've found so far have been crappy. I'd also add "collect a shitload of herbs at the start" because there are two good perks from doing so, one for +2 Chr and one for +2 Vitality. What else?
