So far the game runs pretty well on my 6 year old PC and it seems pretty great. Combat is a bit janky but it's better than Skyrim of course. Game design is somewhat old school 'gently caress you get better' but I like what I've seen so far. It definitely won't appeal to everyone so middle scores from reviewers seems fair, but overall it's a good first impression. Small prologue spoiler when you get to the part where you have to get a horse and ride to Tamberg, it looks like you can try to save the people in the house. I just stole a horse and rode off but a conversation later made it seem like you could have saved the people from the Cumans, so give it a shot I guess.

I thought the whole thing about people responding to how you're dressed was going to be a bit of a gimmick, but it is pretty interesting when you finally get a full suit of mail with some brigantine and you get all cleaned up and then start going around yelling at peasants. It's also nice when your reputation goes up and everywhere I go it's "Hallo Heinrich!" If you're having trouble with combat, buy the longsword named Piercer at the Rattay swordsmith, it's amazing. You can thrust pretty rapidly and most lightly armored opponents go down after 2 or 3 pokes with that thing. Armored dudes are still tough but at least if you stab down the lightly armored guys first then you don't have to worry about getting stabbed in the back.

Man, you can really go from 0-100 quick in this game. I don't think I'm that far in the main quest (just finished that whole Neuhof bandits line of quests) but I've got full plate and that Becephalus horse with an awesome saddle and everything. You can get filthy rich just doing the bandit camp side quests and then looting the dead bandits and selling their gear. Cuman ambushes are pretty terrifying at first but once you've killed a couple and taken their armor it gets much easier. I don't think I can go back to longswords after starting to use a mace with a shield. I was fighting some guy wearing plate except it turned out he wasn't wearing a helmet, so after a short duel of him pummeling me and me ineffectively trying to hit him, I landed a lucky shot to the side of his head and he dropped dead. And the mercy kill animation + sound effect is just great. It looks like they wanted to include spears in the game but it didn't make the cut. Captain Robard offers you Polearm training instead of Mace training, but when you use it you don't actually learn anything. I also found a spear on a dead bandit but I couldn't equip it, although it said it did 117 damage in the inventory screen.

Yeah it actually makes getting the happy ending at bathhouses a valid choice before going out on a quest that might require speech checks. I'm surprised there's no VD in the game since it seems to have everything else.

^^ Only when you try to sell themBondematt posted:So how open is the story? Each individual quest is usually a bit open-ended in terms of how you solve it, but there's no major branching paths that I've seen so far. You are free to stop doing the main quest and just do side quests or go poaching/thieving for a while. As soon as the prologue ends the whole world opens up for you to explore (but you should do the main quest until Neuhof).

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Hey, what's the consensus pick for Good Horse from Neuhof -- Bucephalus, the Arabian, or some other? Bucephalus has the most carrying capacity and the other stats are all pretty good as well, the stamina is low but you're rarely going to notice that.
