IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TOTALLY AVOID COMBAT IN TORMENT: TIDES OF NUMENERA

I know that much. Unavoidable combat before you leave the starting area.

Did you always want to gently massage the rim of a giant alien's sphincter in order to climb up it? Listen to endless people drone on about Legacies and whether their life matters or not in paragraph after paragraph of wordy, description-heavy text? Go bake a cake while the game plays itself, as masses of enemies march around endlessly in unavoidable Crises? Read stories and look at pictures which looked like they were made by highschoolers with a too-high opinion of themselves? Succeed in every skill check because you're awesome, they're awesome, everybody's awesome? Congratulations, Torment: Tides of Numenera is just the game for you.

For my part, next time I'm in the mood for this level of entertainment, I'll just wash the dishes. At least that gives a certain sense of accomplishment.

I've been trying this since I did back it after all and well....almost done with Sagus Cliffs (I think) and I'm getting the same feeling I get when I play Bioware games, as in I can act like a complete dick or mustache -twirling villain to any companion or NPC and not even think twice about it, not because I really want to see what happens but because I'm just not seeing the characters beyond the pixels.

Compare this to Ps:T where every time I replay it I'm thinking:'Okay, this time I'm gonna try the evil path, I'll lie, kill innocents, give away Morte to the Pillar, sell Dak'kon to slavery, hang around with Ignus...' and then 5 minutes in I stumble on Dehionara... So far I've never been able to play through Ps:T with an evil Nameless One.

I'll wait for you in death's halls, my love.

I can't even create 1 thread about SJW crap

Sure you can - if you can keep a respectful tone [failed], avoid using "hate speech" [failed], and don't be an obvious troll [oh, how you failed].

There's your citation. I mean ... it's really pretty straightforward dude.

 

[Creamy Muffin]

Yeah. That one conversation at the start of the game is more impactful than pretty much the entirety of TTONs boring story.

Funny way in which they did this slovak-ish translation. Polish one was fully voice acted and totally posh.

 

[Andnjord]

Fuck it, reinstalling it now. It's been 3 or 4 years I think, I should have forgotten enough about it by now. Incline here I come!

 

[Lurker King]

It's superior in every way you can think off. The music is awesome. ah, fuck it! I'm gonna play PS:T tonight. I don't give a fuck.

German Gamestar magazine did a video unboxing of the limited edition today and complained that you don't get every extra from the different digital only versions in the most expensive version of the game.

Thanks to the fluid combat of Tides of Numenera, you can play a game and wash the dishes at the same time.

Tar is a fluid. A non-newtonian fluid, but it still counts!

I was listening to Deionarra's theme on loop last night. Kinda made me want to cry.



Goddammit, Fargo, you piece of shit.

Also why couldn't the last cast off have something like Deionerra in the Calm

Because Deionarra is vital to TNO's past (Practical was such a charming scamp), meanwhile TLC has no past at all

And why we couldn't have something like Annah then

We do.

Spoiler

It's Tybir, the Annah of the SocJus Age.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Honestly, the ghostly woman is as Deionnara as it can get.

Spoiler

With the little difference that you care about Deionarra (if you're at all capable of human emotion anyway), whereas it's as good as impossible to give a shit about Anonymous Ghostly Woman. Why would you? She's (a) nothing to do with you and (b) long dead.

Yeah, the only thing they have in common is that they're ghostly. There's pretty much nothing else in common. Like, is every ghostwoman in a dress Deionarra, now? I think not.

Agreed with both of you.

But T:TON OST isn't too bad tbh...I honestly think it's the best part of the game (with the setting at 2nd place).

Just reopened it today after a year and I have some annoying scaling resolution issue since I upgraded to win10, anyone experiencing the same and knows how to fix?

I had some issues, in the end I used Big World Setup and it went smoothly, might work for you too.

Dat First Castoff fight when the sorrow shows up. My fucking god. HOLD ON THE SORROW ATTACK UNTIL THE CRYSTAL DILDO CHARGES!!!! Which meant putting all my characters near that dildo and skipping turns (each like 1 minute long for each combatant because you have to see all the shitty getting up and falling down animations) and just watch the Sorrow kill everybody and not give a shit about you. Or just kill yourself, less painful.
But fuck me, at least I'm curious now if you can kill the Sorrow there. I mean he regenerates like 50 HP per turn so it seems unlikely, but I mean, did they account for that? I'm guessing it's no big deal and you don't get to end the game right there with your mighty prowess

Uh, I'll give it a try. thank you very much.

At this very exalted moment one needs to ask one very important question: where art thou Qwinn?

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

Soundtrack is pretty damn good actually, in fact audio is one area where I've always been happy with InXile. Mark Morgan is a class act, and Wasteland has done some cool stuff with those creepy children choirs and that one bit when suddenly Hendrix starts playing Star Spangled Banner on the radio. The song in the credits was the bomb too.

Well, they did bring back the glory of old after all.
5 millions well spent?

Can't decide but maybe I'll go charisma this time? I'm always so boring with WIS/INT...
