The tutorial/intro is fucking garbage/cringe. Had to refund out of principle.

If someone wanna to play it as a wintermage, just DON'T!!!!

My spellweaver could learn fireball and how to summon ghouls once she reached lv 5 and I as a winter mage had to chose between freezing fingertips, freezing fingertips or ... freezing fingertips. Not a single elevated energy spell to prepare.

Freezing fingernails deals only 2 damage... Seriously. That is worse than tier 1 spell. After this I deleted all my saves and will play as necromancer.

I was super excited about drying but I ran into an issue. Once I started drying a mushroom I decided I also wanted to dry a herb but since I pressed the drying button already it wouldn't let me add the herb until my mushroom was done even though the second slot was still empty. I had to rest and crush my mushroom before I could dry the herb which took up an extra 8 hours and the second drying took up another candle when I could have just added the herb to the mushroom and used one candle.

Hope this gets addressed before release

Why? Clearly you are at fault. Also what is the point of using herbs in the game? Is there any special spin or just more health potions to sell?

IDK if is just more hp potions or something like black potions in M&M VI~VIII

Anyway, necromancer is amazing. In less than 2 hours I already reached lv 5 by soloing stuff. I don't plan to solo the game(yet)

you can craft a variety of potions to either use yourself or sell, you can also used crushed dried herbs as sleeping powder or poison to use on guards if you are a thief by planting it on them. you can also throw powders in combat too I think.

Ho there, adventurers!


With Black Geyser having launched yesterday (thank you again to all those who are joining us on this adventure!), we wanted to start as we mean to go on, by delivering some early fixes.

  • Fixes in Party Perks functionality
  • Throwing weapons cannot be put to projectile slots any longer
  • Select All Common buttons cannot break shops any longer
  • Krag cannot appear multiple times anymore in the area after you give him a potion
  • Candle-related bug fixes in the tutorial

Changes
  • Several extra Loading Screen hints have been added to further explain game features
  • Loading screen hints will inform you when you are ambushed during your travels

Why does your character sheet clarify that you're a mortal? Seems kind of weird.

Mostly there as a reminder for overzealous necromancers.

My experience with the demo was so-so. I thought the entire introductory phase - from the very start until you leave the witch's map - was paced wrong and included an inexplicable deus ex machina. I don't understand why crpgs have so much trouble getting the start right.

After that, I noticed that the side quests came slowly and were of an uninspired gopher type design. The city had an empty feeling despite all the people milling around, which reminded me of Defiance Bay.

Consider me worried about the storyfag and exploration elements.

Nigger, what you're doing is akin to discussing Hitler's invasion of Poland during D Day. Demo is old. EA version is new. And different. And better. And more complete. Stop giving us your outdated opinions. Speak about EA experience or shut up

Much love

Agreed, main nigger. I just hope that devs will be deaf to cries of Steam babies and that game won't go unnoticed by RPG community. This is wonky and janky as hell, but has more soul then multi-trillion $$$ BG3

Question to those playing EA: Is writing really that bad or it just triggered Steam babies by using "his" instead of "them" for character of unknown gender?

Any company that doesn't fly flag of New ClownWorld Order, is my fren

I think its better them most writing done by NU Obsidian, Bethesda or Larian. No huge lore dumps, no constant wokeness no unnecessarily long descriptions. I would say its the same level as old Bioware (BG2, DA:O). Simple, solid, entertaining, practical dialogues and BELIEVABLE, memorable characters. Its not exactly Disco, Arcanum, Sunless Sea, VMB or KOTOR 2 but still better then 90% of other so called RPGs we get nowadays.

Great! Devs are Hungarians, let's hope they are as stubborn in their game design as president Orban is about governing Hungary. Give ClownWorldOrder zero inch!

I swear Steam babies have with their demand for "quality of life improvements" creatively castrated so many promising RPGs lately

Any time former Commies smell money they throw their principles out the window, so...
