Finished
Beyond Divinity after getting boost-up from beating 1st chapter in Divinity OS EE.
How the hell Larian released this (and then develop Ego Draconis with similar result) and didn't went bankrupt is beyond me.
People complained about voice acting, but for me - it was better than Original Sin's voices. Sure, sound amateurish like Deus Ex but it didn't bother me in the latter.
Finally - alt+tab is working. But still need 3rd party programs for windowed mode...
We know that in RPGs there are some useless skills or spells. But in BeyDiv - whole magic is utter trash. Weakest spell in BeyDiv cost as much as the strongest spell in DivDiv. And you can't kill rats with it, in the very first dungeon!
Who need repair and identify, when you can jump into Battlefields and ID item for few coins and sell with huge profit.
But cherry of the top is skill crafting system. Sounds cool on paper but in the game it's
Oh and you have summoning dolls. It can carry all your loot and fight, but it's weak like shit. Sure, you can upgrade summon but you need to spend
your own skillpoints to do that. Who the hell though it was good idea??
It was weird playing it after DivDiv where spells shows a lot. I rarely saw magic presence outside of some areas in last act. Really weird.
Battlefields is special pocket plane where you can grind for loot and experience but you need to clear it asap before you get almost no reward due level difference.
High difficulty is borked. You can't kill shit and you need to sneak around (to my surprise - sneaking works good here) because there is 2-3x more enemies than usual.
For some reason clicking on fauna make it hostile toward you, kicking shit out of local animals and mutants for no XP is not fun.
There is almost no level scalling except final boss, who is always at least nine level above you. And geezus he need a lot of Agility to get hit. You might get best bet with Bow+Power Arrows, hit more ofter. Or you, by any chance, found viable magic build. But I don't know anyone bored enough to look for valid magic build in that game...
They didn't gave final boss his own portrait and voice. How cool is that?
BTW. how do you think the final act looks like? Huge dungeon full of powerful enemies? Nope. You got to finish boring exams. Pffff...
The demo version to the game had radically different voice acting (at least, for Black Knight
there is one rift map in act4, where they use old DK voice, the moment when he touch bricks on the wall. Nice touch, I guess?
For now - got decent GPU, got bored with Grim Dawn (Titan Quest trauma is still haunting me) and reinstalled
Path of Exile. Made some build in that offline skilltree app and just trash stuff with occasional assaults on my character.
Lot of stuff to learn but I don't feel overwhelmed for now, maybe because I have too low level to care about anything except badly invested skillpoints....
I don't know why but now game runs good except loud HDD munching noise for the first few minutes when game is launched. P. irritating....
