Perestroika posted:Hopped into this on a whim, in part because there are not nearly enough games set in a pseudo early modern/renaissance setting. Love myself some tricornes and rapiers. I've only played a couple of hours, but it does seem pretty good so far. I especially like how firearms tend to just utterly blast people off their feet. It's funny to me how often I get "Fallen down!" on an enemy but they're absolutely definitely not fallen down at all. Although when it does work they never get back up with my mace, which is very nice. VolticSurge posted:Anyway I'm not every good at this sales pitch thing so long story short, if you like Eurojank RPGs like Witcher 2, I would suggest giving this a look. Man - that's a proper false equivalence. Witcher 2 is a good game with very little jank. This game can't even spell "promise" right in the subtitles. Or smuggler! And the controls are mislabeled in the menus - it says dodge when it means parry and loads of other bits like that. This can affect gameplay when you get a quest following some "wildemen" and it turns out to just be a single thing, that confused me a bit. Greedfall also has some really questionable stuff. Calling natives that kill the colonists rebels is uncomfortable to me. In a quest involving said "rebels" I had two options. Either attack them or "leave". But everywhere else leave just ends the conversation rather than actually saying much. Yet here it gave a big speech and she walked off without fighting them. It's another small thing but it's confusing and a bit annoying. And talking natives - they have bizzare accents. At times it's a bit Tralee/south west ireland style. But then with random...changes in. It's like every native actor was told to do an irish voice and "mix it up". It's really offputting and I hate listening to them speak. That's a me thing rather than a game thing but ugh, stop it guys. Taear fucked around with this message at 14:11 on Sep 11, 2019 |

DeadFatDuckFat posted:Yeah, I don't understand that complaint. Of course the rear end in a top hat colonists are going to call the natives rebels. I don't remember any conversation in which the main character calls them that anyways. She calls them that the whole quest long. I'm saying they're not rebels because the colonists aren't the government. The game doesn't call them rebels elsewhere - just in this particular quest in that area. It's really weird and there's a lot of stuff like that. In a similar quest later I tried to get two native groups to get together and one killed the other. And my answer was oh okay fine, I HAD to support the colonists and couldn't do anything about it. WhiskeyWhiskers posted:Uhhh, this sounds pretty questionable in itself? Are you suggesting natives who kill colonists aren't engaged in legitimate resistance? No I'm suggesting the exact opposite? They're not rebels, they're an uprising against the colonial system itself - they're not rising up against a legitimate government here.

steinrokkan posted:There've been plenty of rebellions where native pops fought against colonizers / imperial power... Why must a rebellion be against a "legitimate" government. A rebellion is an uprising against your leader - at least that's how I've always considered it. Why is my character considering these natives legitimately part of the Bridge Alliance? I don't even know where they're based! Also does anyone else find fighting large groups really annoying? If I lock onto an enemy I can't move properly so dodging becomes really hard but she's just constantly loving off to attack a totally different enemy all the time from the one I'm currently engaged with. It's especially bad in the arena and with certain enemies, I have no idea why. Taear fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Sep 11, 2019 |

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:I'd say that's more mutiny or coup. Slave rebellions could hardly be considered rebellions against a legitimate leader. No but it's rebellions against their "owner" - the person the law considers is their ruler. Does the law (and my character, more importantly) consider these natives the property of the bridge alliance? If it does why doesn't it consider the same for the villages around? What makes these guys different?

exquisite tea posted:Slave and indigenous uprisings were commonplace all throughout the colonial era. Participants in these revolts were called rebels back then just as they are today. This is one of the weirdest derails I've seen in awhile. They're at war (the natives and the bridge alliance). The game says they're at war. How are they rebels? Why is my character calling them that? It's just a weird thing, that's all. Has anyone got to the Old Mine yet? I found a cog in there that I made into a "New Cog" but I don't know what to do with it. There's a spot it feels like it'd fit but I can't interact with it.

Magic is fine as a backup (I play kinda a paladin who uses a two hander and heals) but you run out of mana fast and it takes a while to regenerate. I'd definitely not say it was something you could rely on exclusively without it being annoying.

Mehrunes posted:I've kind of put off the the main quest because I can after meeting the main guys. I gone through Kurt's quest and I was suprised at how good it was, I think they've exceeded Bioware by a fair margin so far. If anyone's looking for Aurora engine Bioware like KoTOR or Jade Empire these guys have finally surpassed them. Really?? I've done that quest and it's pretty terrible. Maybe it's more obvious when you're using Charisma and you just say "Actually, do this thing" and they totally change their minds but that quest had loads of weird jank in it. The doctor tells you that the guy has drowned. You persuade your way into the room and it's clear he's been beaten up. The doctor goes "Oh, yea actually I was lying the whole time" As well as loads of barely working dialogue options and the completely lifeless tavern you have to go to during the quest. I kinda get the same in Petrus's quest where the quest gives me a ! notification on a secret key on a random table but doesn't give me a clue where to get Servant uniforms from. I guess the merchant, but it's still weird what it decides to just randomly reveal. It would have been fine if Petrus told me it was there but he absolutely didn't. However when I was downstairs sneaking around we all spoke really loving loudly and it totally ruined my immersion, but whatever. Then I go and speak to a Pimp because I have to speak to some sex workers and the game just kinda....acted like I was half way through a conversation with this guy even though I wasn't. During this same quest I spoke to the innkeeper and my character mentioned someone in a green coat - but I hadn't learned about her yet and that dialogue option came later with a different person. A different person in the same building, downstairs - so really you'd expect not to have learned that info when you're speaking to the innkeeper. Avalerion posted:Yea I'm liking the writing, characters & setting a lot. It's really just the combat I can't get over, it's almost as bad as witcher 2 expect there you could cheese it more easily I feel. My main issue with the combat is it seems to be that if you dodge you are immune for a few seconds, and that's all that matters. I get hit so often because I've got out of the way but I mistimed it, so I got hit somehow anyway. It's really strange and I'm finally used to it now but I'd rather be able to actually dodge the animation because that feels more "natural" I'm also a bit miffed that I'm still using a two hander I bought at level 5 and I'm level 17.

Mehrunes posted:I have no idea what you're trying to say. The doctor admits he lied on about the autopsy because it was made clear he would suffer the same fate as the victim if he didn't. I'm saying that why let me examine the body and then just sit there totally fine when it's absolutely clear he wasn't drowned? Just say it at that point. It felt unnatural and the emotions the characters displayed during the scene didn't fit with what'd happened either. The charisma check would have been better to get him to tell the truth rather than to get him to let me into the room. gently caress, even hide the body because that'd make more sense than just having it there with you outside lying all the while about it. Then you tell the doctor you won't tell anyone his role and your character IMMEDIATELY tells the Quartermaster exactly what happened. So much for telling the truth! Like every dialogue in the game it always feels like there's a bit missing that'd smooth it out. Or hell - the lieutenant guy tells me to come back and speak to him at night because there will be fewer people around - but everyone's still there at night, the guy's just sat down now instead.

I think a big part of what brings the bioware companions alive is companion banter, which there just isn't any of here. And introductions to them as well - I mentioned it before but Siora was just in my party with not enough around it to explain it. And then I can question her RIGHT AWAY "why haven't you said anything about your father?". Give her a chance, she's just got here! It doesn't help that the companions all say the same thing over and over. "Things are about to get dicey" can absolutely gently caress off.

It got compared to Inquisition and Witcher 3 a lot. I expected some more freedom of movement. Like I say you have to constantly look at the map to work out how you can get to places, it never feels logical For example you'll see a path winding up a very slight hill. You HAVE to go to the start of the path to walk up, it won't allow you to just walk over the grassy rock bit in between. She gets stuck on tiny rocks or branches or trees loads and it's hugely immersion breaking for me. There's so few actually open spaces Taear fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Sep 12, 2019 |

steinrokkan posted:For a sufficiently liberal definition of the word quest, yes. But I don't really count "kill ten groups of wandering antelopes and bring back their eyeballs" as worthwhile content. There's barely anything like that because most areas don't really have any people in, only the crossroads in the hinterlands is like that. Here's an example - in the Hissing Wastes every area you find has a little bit of a story about above ground dwarfs. You don't learn loads, but it's interesting. Everywhere you go in the area has something like that. It's not mega deep or exciting but it's there. Whereas in greedfall I went to the tomb of a king after killing a really strong monster and there was just absolutely nothing. I learned nothing about who this was and why, just a bit of stuff from the colonist professor who wrote about the monster. Again I'm not saying DAI areas were good, but this game reminds me a bit of baldurs gate 1 - a big pile of areas with just one or two things to do there even when it's huge.

GrossMurpel posted:lmao A tiny bit of story is better than literally nothing - and that's what Greedfall has. In fact exploring is often bad because another quest could lead to an area and until you get that quest you can't interact with anything whatsoever. The scholar's camp for example which I found ages ago but couldn't do anything with until I'd got the right quest elsewhere. I'd rather have a line of something written in my codex than going into places that feel like they should be important then nothing happening at all. Greedfall is full of enormous areas that are difficult to navigate for no good reason and are carbon copies of each other. DAI at least made their areas different even if they were pointless a lot of the time. Oh and an open world with some actual enemy variety instead of armoured dogs, bearwolves and bats everywhere. God drat am I tired of bearwolves, especially since they respawn. I've got to do a quest that requires crafting. I can't craft, but Siora said the "Shadow faced warrior can help". Who is that? Is it Vasco? God drat when the game doesn't explicitly tell you what to do it sure leaves things vague as hell. Swapping out characters is boring because I have to walk a really long roundabout way to my camp since I can't walk down a vague incline Taear fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Sep 12, 2019 |

Yea obsidian are generally really good even if the games are a bit buggy. There's a lot that good writing makes you gloss over and Spiders doesn't even have that. At least Outer Worlds is soon. I'd recommend for anyone playing Greedfall not to bother exploring areas until quests take you there. So often there's really no point, I genuinely can't think of even one quest I've picked up in the wilderness and I've explored six areas now. Here's a good example - there's an Old Mine in the area to the right of your capital, a place you're likely to visit really early. In there is a rusted cog, a document that says you need to fix a cog and a recipe for a new cog. You can make that cog for sure but you can't do anything with it until you get to that point in the main quest. It's just bizzare. Close it off for story reasons until later or something, jeez. Also you can have the same conversation with the miner in there a bunch of times where he's like "Who are you, we don't get many people down here". Just change that to "hello again", jeez.

LentThem posted:In some ways this game reminds me of playing an MMO on a private emulated server. It has the assets/gear/quests, it has mobs standing around in small groups (sometimes all facing the same direction for no reason) without idle animations or patrol routes, and it has all the quest-related items/mobs not spawning until you take the quest so locations are inexplicably empty when you first arrive. Man yea this is so absolutely right. It definitely has that feel. At the moment I'm doing a quest where I have to find a great healer - but I've already done another quest where I had to do that. The best healer, and she couldn't do anything. Why am I doing it again for a different great healer and if this one is so great why didn't they mention them before?! God drat the narrative in this is so bad. Spoiler here related to a quest for the Nauts and Theleme, you'll know it if you've done it. So the codex entry that talks about "my mother" was right, I am a native and now it suddenly makes sense. Funny that it spoils it ages ago. The thing is the birthmark you have could only be that you're a native and I can't believe she doesn't at least suspect. And that nobody notices it or talks about it. The mark on your face feels like it should be so major and get talked about all the goddamn time but NOBODY SAYS A THING and it really drives me mad, it's like it's cut content or something. And now about step three of Kurt's quest. I found about the coup ages ago, why am I only talking about it when it is actually happening? It feels so disconnected from how part 2 ended. It was a fun quest though, only spoiled by having my companions glued to my side in the cut scene at the end. It's another one of those bits where it COULD have been good and so many little janky bits ruin it. Sending messages to the other towns when the coup is happening literally now and it takes 24 hours to get from town to town?

I've finished the game. The jank pretty much stays all the way through and you really have to complete the side quests or you can't do a lot of the main quest. Maybe you can ignore the "gathering the factions" stuff but it doesn't seem that way, at least. Spoilers for the end. I made Dedre the high king and she got rid of the colonists, but then the slides at the end told me that I lived with Siora and Kurt (leader of the coin guard) and Petrus (Cardinal in the city of the Theleme) still came to visit. How can they when they got driven off? And I didn't seem to get a slide for my character, which is...a shame I guess.

I guess not everyone cares about internal consistency but for me I'd rather do all the MMOG quests in the world than do a single quest where it's contradicting previous info or my character is being randomly racist or whatever the gently caress Greedfall loves to do.

What I tended to do was get quests and then head towards them, clearing out the bits before it. But that's a REALLY poo poo way to do it in this and it sours me on it - you clear areas out and nothing happens, you can only do areas if you've got the quests for them. And because the enemies respawn it makes it feel like even more of a waste of time. Then you're dragging yourself through area after area AGAIN because you weren't allowed to do it the first time. Also not being able to read dialogue then skip it when it's a "sequence" really REALLY annoys me, I don't want to hear it voiced I want to read it and carry on please. So I stop paying attention, because I've read what they're saying and it's going to take longer to finish saying it. I've not played Risen but I still feel Gothic 2/3 worked far better as games than Greedfall does. Hell in this two handed weapons are an upgrade from one handers and there's no dual wielding or shields. It feels obsessed with taking away any choice or anything exciting from every goddamn step of it.

haldolium posted:Yeah pacing could be better, and also as many games I think it's a bit too large for what it is in it's core but I make use of quick travel for that. And enemies at least give decent XP for level up so they're not a total waste in the end. Skipping cinematics per line is super uncommon even for large productions, so I don't consider that a particular bad missing feature. It has a lot of convenient QoL things that are not the standard though, even common line skipping is still missing in many games. Like also if you're running towards doors you don't have to press the open button. Or even with the environment being very restrictive in where you can go and the lack of jumping, you usually still can drop down conveniently and don't have to circle all the way back to the ladder. It seems to be effectively 46 but I ended at 34. And I've genuinely not played a game where I can't skip line by line, it is normally like that. From Fire Emblem to Dragon Age. I think that the door thing is related to the NPCs not being loaded until you open the door, that's why it works so strangely. If you go to the Coin Tavern (the one that's identical in every city, you know the one) and open the door the people are all stood on the table for a second like they've loaded in.

GrossMurpel posted:I'm loving this game so far, really seems like the old Spiders games but better in every way. DA:O is from 2009 though. As far as it seems even if something is much higher level than me it was pretty easy, and I never met a boss who was higher level. I ended the game in my mid 30s but I levelled maybe 10 levels early on when I thought they wanted us to explore.

GrossMurpel posted:Oh yeah it's just cause you said Dragon Age has line by line skipping Arena wise it seems like about level 20 is the level you should be able to finish it. The reward is a two handed sword though, just to warn you. And the final rounds of it (number 5) has a level of humans and then a boss which are way easier than the ones against those stupid shark beasts or the bats. Sorry yea I meant DA:I, although DA:O doesn't really have as many voiced lines and it wasn't as much of a bother. Can't you reply to a person as they're speaking and cut them off?

I suppose it's not a fair comparison either way because Greedfall goes into "cutscene mode" far more often.

Hyzenth1ay posted:this is actually my preferred combat. i'm playing a ranged / alchemy build, so i can lay traps and dance out of the way while the enemies blow themselves up on my explosive runes. Any game where I'm sent to find a great healer, find they can't do it and then another quest sends me to find ANOTHER great healer with no mention of the first quest can frankly gently caress off. With combat when you're using a weapon she'll just go after any enemy that's close unless you lock on. Sometimes that doesn't matter - with the enemies that have lots of armour it's really frustrating.
