What do YOU want for ELEX 2?

[theSavant]

First person view I'd want. Not that weird optional one in Gothic3 though.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

To drop the quantity over quality approach.
To bring back a bit of the old charm, trainer dialogue when learning skills and all that jazz.
To actually have an UI, not "oh shit the game is released in an hour and we forgot about making UI, quick, fire up MS paint and improvise XD".
Most of all, to get back to good exploration and handcrafted feel, no more stuff like "two end-game enemies dropped in some random place guarding a couple of bones".
I wouldn't mind not having shit final acts, but it's PB lol.

It's a step down from the original Gothics in every way.

It might have been a step down from Gothic 1 & 2, but it was a big step up from the Risen games.

Nothing in Elex reaches the same heights as the first two chapters of Risen 1.

Risen 2 & 3 are not good, but even those games did certain things better than Elex.

Sounds like nostalgia talking. Either that or I'm guessing you simply didn't like the setting.

Dont know about 2 and 3, but Risen 1 was just as dope as Gothic.

Better melee combat
gunplay that doesn't suck
the more detailed world with memorable locations
real cities
more than 1 female face
a slightly less generic hero
more immersion!

Females that don't have potato faces

I wish they would just make a smaller map. But that is never going to happen. If there is a sequel the map will automatically have to be bigger and thats it.

 

[Safav Hamon]

More consistency as well. Elex feels like a theme park with all of its different regions.

Yeah, that's always what I want in my open world games.

Less of it.

 

[Safav Hamon]

Density > Size

Gothic 2 is heavily detailed and uses every inch of space efficiently, which makes it seem bigger than many open world games five times its size.

 

[Master]

Thats right.

G2

Life is a joy, an endless stream of pina colada.



G3

life is but a moment, a meaningless grain of sand...



Elex is apparently 1.25 times bigger than G3? And you can bet Elex 2 will probably be 2x bigger. But if they actually make it smaller i will salute them.

 

[Tito Anic]

I want 2X longer playtime, same system specs and same developers team.

What do YOU want for ELEX 2?

What do you think would help it the most to build on the first game and take it to the next level?

- 2D
- Turn-based combat

More fleshed out missions for whatever faction you join. I don’t know if I effed up somewhere but it seemed like I’d run out of missions for the Outlaws until gaining enough levels to get promoted but in order to gain said levels I’d forced to pick up missions that you’d think would put me at odds with said faction. Seemed like that all over though, like “okay, I’m reporting to Sestek I guess, ok I’m shutting down the transformer he’s in, he doesn’t seem to mind. Ok I’m helping a Cleric escape outlaws now, alright I guess I’m helping the claws now”.

I like Elex very much as it is because it pushes me out of comfort zone. Companions dont kill enemies for me(except low level ones of course), they're helping me with stuns and combo multiplier. Quests are scarce and often involve dangerous enemies, but i needed that exp desperately, so i massacred a village for berserkers, killed outlaw woman for a prostitute and did some other shit. Stats are part of this out of comfort feel because yeah, they dont give me an automatic damage increase and require several levels to influence something. And of course constant need of money and elex pushes to explore and seek for less dangerous route. I even used traveling merchant once to safely pass through part of Ignadon, I never even thought of something like that in other games.
So no, i dont want them to change anything, I'm so afraid PB will change something and thus break the whole feel.
Easier execution of jetpack attack wouldnt hurt though i guess.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

Oh, and bigger world, make it ginormous but with the PB touch to details with tons of stuff to find throughout. And first-person view would be great. I played and completed Gothic 2 and 3 in first-person (can't remember if G1 had first-person, if so then I also used it).

 

[Master]

G1 had first person but you couldnt move or fight in it. It was thus just for screenshots and Morrowindfags.

No jetpacks - Introduce the skills to enhance the character based on natural and practical movements of climbing and even adept in parkour. I enjoy working on my skills to interact with the environment more than flying a silly jetpack too convenient and easy.

Better Combat - I fail to understand why developers can't design a good combat amd melee system? Elex suffers from a mediocre combat system and needs to change in the sequel.

Speaking of missions - Less fetch quests and more creative, complex missions that are not repetitive in nature. Basically, a tighter package of quests and activities with better pacing.

dumbest suggestion ever

Females don't deserve more than one face. PB is trying to teach you a lesson here.

PB is trying to tell me I have prosopagnosia?

 

[Aemar]

Immersion factor:

More people blowing their noses and pissing in the street
Greater variety of chairs to sit on and do nothing
Raise the number of different face models to at least two for each gender

 

[toro]

I want ELEX 2 not to exist but now it's too late.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

They could keep one face for all the women for budget reasons, but make it not german. Would be an improvement as well.

 

[Swigen]

I wanna see wieners in hand whilst pissing. If I can see tits and bush in teh Witcher I think I can handle a peeing wiener.

 

[PsychoFox]

Character creation instead of fixed protagonist, with all the usual options.
No voiced protag.
More action recognition and reactivity.
Better voice acting.
More fluid combat animations.

This is a very reasonable thing to expect from a PB game.
