deliverance from the oppression of aaa titles with a classic clunky european rpg that if more attention had been paid to polish would be good but is instead a brilliant awful game would be my guess as to the meaning though even that might be optimistic i remember ropekid (i think) saying he wanted to do an rpg in the holy roman empire. maybe this'll prove successful and good enough to prove the idea can work and we'll get something good even if this isn't great

are downloads that bothersome for people? i imagine it's going to vary a lot by location but i always thought bandwidth was pretty cheap. i'm in australia, and while our internet is famously crappy (though i think many people living here who blithely complain about how our internet is worse than estonia's miss the fact our geography makes it loving hard and estonia has iirc become a bit of an it hub), any patch smaller than 6 or 7 gigs isn't going to do more than mildly irritate me hard drive space on solid state drives i also think is at a bit of a premium - a lot of games n ow are 50 gigs+ and ssd prices remain pretty expensive (though coming down; iirc technological development pace on storage is better than most other types of progress and cost/mb halves yearly)

Phi230 posted:We literally had a guy explain this 3 pages ago but I guess the historical facts don't match up w your feelings tbh i didn't find what he said too convincing. it was an argument from some vague authority (he didn't claim any particular credentials) without citations. while i'd very much doubt a pure white depiction of major cities to be accurate i don't find it an incredible claim that the rural areas of 1403 bohemia would be overwhelmingly white, and the idea it was a 'melting pot' seems dubious. nor does the assertion people didn't tihnk of race the same way back then really meaningful - okay, that means other racial groups might not have been discussed in modern terms, but it doesn't mean there major non-european groups there.

'actual person with historical knowledge'...? i'm sceptical without something a little more authoritative; there were huge barriers to population mobility back then, and even today the czech republic is rather homogeneously white. i wouldn't be surprised if the trading hubs were a little more diverse but outside of that i would think visible ethnic minorities would be few and far between.

Iirc the Golden Horde was there for about two - one or two years - before upping stakes and loving off. So they probably did some damage but little permanent change to institutions or demographics

If I try with M+KB, the rotation goes way too fast and the inability to hold it in place prevent me from adjusting my angle. If I try it on controller it's just awkward in general due to having to rotate both analogs, but at least you can pause the rotation partway through. there's a mod up already to just insta-pick any lock you have high enough skill for

DreamShipWrecked posted:The biggest thing with armor is that once you get enough of it you don't take damage unless you lose all your stamina. It becomes something like a Halo-style overshield, allowing you to tank a ridiculous number of hits as long as you keep moving enough to regenerate your stamina in between. In a certain sense you are fencing with your opponents rather than up close hand-to-hand. It basically trivializes one-on-one fights. The armour thing is refreshing. Everything I've read about plate armour, particularly the very advanced suits of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, is that it really was nigh on impenetrable in all but a small number of places which could be attached with thrusting weapons. Fatigue would obviously make those places much more vulnerable. I remember reading an account of a fifteenth century duel in Germany where the fight went on for hours, and only ended when the two closed to grapple and one was able to stab the other with a dagger while wrestling. In so many games armour is more or less just decoration.

this game is great. what is generally fantastic is the level of immersion - it doesn't feel like you're in a nominally-open-world theme park where points of interest are cheek by jowl, and the world is grounded (for obvious reasons) so that it feels convincing. i just did a trivial activity involving killing bandits and it actually seemed a reasonable simulation of what that kind of thing might have involved at one point, subject to video game stuff like one man killing five. when i first started playing it felt like it was towards the upper end of the range of outcomes i expected to be possible - fun for a while but too flawed to play for more than 20 - 30 hours at most. but as i played more, instead of novelty wearing off, my enjoyment actually increased. there's still some jank and some flaws but they're minor enough to never be more than very minor irritations, de minimis debits against the very serious credits of the game.

Sir Hans appears to have matured from 16 year old petulant prick to 19 year old university drinking buddy very quickly. I'm okay with that Also I read if you don't save Theresa she manages to kill all three of those dudes in addition to saving you from Runt. Cool

i hope there's more to the theresa romance than when you (first?) have sex. she's so mixed up with henry's origins and how he got on the hunt for runt that it would be disappointing for that to be the end. she doesn't even acknowledge it when you talk to her. maybe henry is hung like an ant and this is the awkwardness that comes from her now wanting nothing to do with him because of how embarrassing it is.

going to echo frustration there. only thing i can usually figure out is when something ahrd lands, because the lifebar on the bottom left moves. against the tougher enemies that parry or riposte everything you do i pull out my bow and go for point blank range headshots. irritating because i feel like the melee system actually does have a lot to it.

'i... know how it looks'. little writing touches like that show the writer understood better than the writers of the wooden puppets you get in bioware and bethesda games.

nessin posted:This game is one of the most frustrating I've ever seen when it comes to how people talk about it versus how it actually plays, or at least appears to play. I haven't played it myself yet because I was waiting to make the decision after it had been out for a few days, but the disconnect between what it is and what people say it is ridiculous. while it is different from other games of its type, revolving much more around the challenges faced by medieval people and the social, political and economic structures of that time (i'm not saying it's 100% realistic in that respect, but it's certainly a lot moreso than any other game that springs to mind), i agree that there's a big gap between media coverage of it and how the game actually is. reviews seem more an exercise in confirmation bias (did i think it would be pure european jank and awful and it would be extremely misogynistic and regressive? well look here there's enough broken and you can sleep with multiple women so my view is confirmed and it's an awful thing made by a neonazi! is it totally different because of its focus on realism? definitely and it's great and totally different!) than anything else
