The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk - parodic fantasy tactical RPG - now with Back to the Futon DLC

[Dexter]

What do you do with the posters and all the random items you can find? Are any of them useful for anything or can you sell em? "Bear trophy", "Mini sausage rack", "Bottle of Loreliane shampoo" etc.

Constitution seems to be the only Ability that improves other Stats when leveling up (HP gain +5% per point over 10), I guess it makes sense to invest a bit into it at the beginning for better payoff later on?

This or Solasta?

This or Solasta?

I would prefer this if haven't finished it already. Solasta have pretty shit writing.

 

[Bara]

This or Solasta?

Both but this first if you want to play something with great production quality on top of a nostalgic old-school table top gaming sessions feel of the story play this first.

This or Solasta?

Start with Naheulbeuk for the prestigious Codex reference

[fantadomat]

Naheulbeuk is actually very good game,while solasta is pretty bad,now that i have played it for 10ish hours. I wouldn't recommend it at all.....unless you have nothing else to play.

This or Solasta?

This first, Solasta later.

Overall not too impressive. It's not too bad, but I was hoping for some more adjustments.

Good:
- No fucking mid-game expansion, import your end-game saves
- Setup/Story: Two factions to chose from, two paths to beat the DLC
- New enemies, not just reskins
- Some interesting new equipment
- Way more magic and status effects, fights feel a bit different because of that. Your biggest threats now are freeze debuffs and knockouts. They can take your whole group out with one action if you are huddling.
- Some larger battlefields, positioning and movement is again most important
- Challenging, I played it like the OC on epic and some of the battles felt like floor 3-4 level of difficulty

Bad:
- Very, very short. Just a few fights. Of course, times two for both factions
- AI still very one-dimensional
- Consumables still largely unusable
- Battles are a lot larger, at least if you join vampires you are facing 20 enemies per battle, which makes it very slow
- To counter the debuffs you have to mainly rely on potions, freeze debuffs are dished out also by archers, so they can hit everyone. You can't really avoid getting hit by those. There is still no pre-buffing or any other way to prepare yourself for combat other than making sure your positioning is right.

Yeah, the battles are way harder with all the freeze arrows, tremors knocking characters down, necros raising additional undead, etc.

I dislike using consumables in games,never used any in this one too,maybe health potions early on because of lack of heal.

Using the bombs and fighting chickens is kinda fun even if not totally necessary.

Could be,have no idea,i just hoard usable or just sell them. I dislike things that i have use for a short buff,focus on perma things. When i see an item that gives X amount of uses for a spell per day,i just sell it lol.

Finished now the necro path. It's just a different boss fight. Overall you can finish that DLC in 3-4 fights. Sure, there are some optional fights as well, but with the level cap being raised just to 11 and no new skills via level up, there aren't really many reasons to actually finish them all twice.

 

[Grunker]

So after a pretty stressful end-of-work-year I'm finally on vacation and it's time to finish this - basically only needed to kill the last boss anyway. Then the DLC after. But now I'm stumped:

Spoiler

Before starting the DLC my plan was to do the final quest for the Demonomicon. I'm not using walkthroughs but I'm pretty sure I only need to get the statue on Zangdar's level in the proper spot. However, following the defeat of the final boss, it seems I've been teleported straight to the DLC??

Anyone knows what gives?

 

[Grunker]

don't just <3 answer my question Zombra

 

[Desiderius]

Yeah, the battles are way harder with all the freeze arrows, tremors knocking characters down, necros raising additional undead, etc.

So they finally give the enemies the tactics that gave the player the inevitable edge in the OC.

If you don't use bombs you're kind of missing the point of the Thief. I've found Stealth to generally suck.

Pre-DLC you had to complete the demonomicon secret boss before the final boss as the game would end, sounds like this hasnt changed with the DLC.

Subverse!

[Grunker]

Revoooooo soon. Just a quick note: don't get the DLC. It's a complete rip-off. There's nothing wrong with the content, there's just almost nothing of it

 

[Bara]

Yeah echoing that DLC good fights but pretty short. I apparently missed a optional quest to get a necklace that can summon a ally to combat though?

DLC was only 10 bucks but I'd still wait for a discount for it.

Spoiler

You have to dump 3 high-value items into the well to get that necklace. The ally is actually a nice meat shield.

Which difficulty would you guys recommend ? Knowing that "Firstly, I am a longtime RPG veteran. Having played games, such as. Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Arcanum, Fallout New Vegas, Oblivion (oh wait, I didn't play this one) and of course system shock. So when I say I am fairly well versed in the, etc..."

Start on epic, then you can swap difficulty at any time.
