Why is there no keybindings sheet in the options? Even if it's not possible to change them, I want to at least know what the controls are.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Doing the intro, i just plan to dip my foot a little for the night then wait until it come out of the incubator. Character screen is great. Dense but readable (discount with my familiarity of course. Might be daunting for the unitiated) so far so good.

How do I heal between fights? I'm walking around with 2 hp. A mosquito bite would off my character.

Also you can't pick dialogue choices by pressing 1, 2 etc. on the keyboard. Sad.

Strange, they do for me, same for using them for attack selection.

Currently by going to the doctor if you are in the pit. We are going to add healing with medkits like in DR.

Figured it out, my default keyboard in Win10 is Czech. I have to switch to English, then it works. Methinks it should work with any language layouts though.

Btw any chance some of the fonts could be upsized? Like the tooltip when you mouse over an enemy in combat? It's really, really tiny on 1440p.

So Steam or GoG... Do we still love Poland after Cyberpunk? 18€ are at stake.

Probably GoG since I got AoD and Desert Rat there too :S

I've bought it on Steam and GOG but I'll most likely buy 2 additional copies. Will play the game first though but I doubt that I won't be satisfied especially since I already have over 70 hours played in combat demo and I want more.

We'll definitely look into it! =)

Please do look into the hotkeys thing, it's one of the most annoying things when games do that. At the very least, make sure to allow it being remapped to any other key - then we'll be able to remap it to our weird Czech letters at least. There's a bunch of games that don't allow this at all, or don't recognize +ěščřžýáíé as something that exists. Switching keyboards is possible, but inconvenient (ours is QWERTZ) ... etc.

In terms of interface, I would also appreciate text / UI scaling especially in combat, ideally separately from the rest. I.e. text in conversations is fine, but HP values of characters are tiny, which is OK for the bars in-game, good to have those as unobtrusive as possible, but on the UI it could be bigger for me personally. So good to hear that can be looked at.

Also, I think it's a shame not to use those great portraits a bit more - I'd like to see my character's portrait in conversations.

Other than that, I haven't played much yet, and I of course died at the first attempt at combat, so won't say more than just those first few impressions.

Thank you for giving the game good artwork on GOG so it looks nice. It's the small things you know?

Quick feedback: Escape key doesn't close journal, instead it opens the menu. This is bad.

I've only played a few hours. Quick tips so for is to never take stealth, steal or lockpick as starting skills as all three are very easily trained from scratch. Same with biotech. Computers and electronics seem worthwhile to take for nontalk/noncombat.

Bought to support a potentially excellent RPG and the developers that actually brought me to the codex so long ago. Good luck, Vince and Iron Tower! I have great faith you've learned from your mistakes made in AoD and are on the right track to make something great.

Now to wait 18 months to play it...

:negative:

have had a couple combat bugs with knocked down enemies being untargetable and the game locking up while swapping to the enemy turn but my first impressions are very positive. camera alone is a massive incline and the setting and writing are immediately engrossing.

that said, I was told there were fucking big frogs and I've only seen somewhat big frogs so far. those bastards pack a punch though, so maybe its for the best. :salute:
