Sounds kind of like King's Field, but with skill checks then? Not bad.
It's not like King's Field games at all, nor it's Morrowind. This game is its own thing and that's great. This game's world is interesting to explore, though I haven't tried the full release yet, but I bet it's even better now.

I was thinking that it heavy on exploration. I hope there are plenty of secret doors, compartments, searchables, switched & objects of activation, breakables and breakable doors and secrets, and maybe crafting and repairing. One can hope combat, spells, skills, and crazy shit not only causes delusions but psychedelic trippy shit that puts people into seizures.


Yeah.... I grabbed it. Maybe I'll fucking finally put Steam on my laptop.


Or maybe.

First 100 minutes. I am exhilarated and can't wait to get back to it (have plans in a few then I will be back). First impressions are really good.

It's just ok so far nothing too complex, nice art and world building. Honestly this would be much better if it has deeper mechanics and difficulty. It's more streamlined that any of the newer bethesda games ever were, so the look of the game betray how the game actually feel.

It's still solid as long you dont expect anything more than fancy walking sim with quests and rudimentary combat

From what I've gathered, the game would be much better in general if there was more difficulty and sense of danger. Rudimentary combat is fine, as long as your equipment and character progression are meaningful and noticeably making a difference. Beyond that, it sounds like there could be some solid utilization of attrition if things were tweaked accordingly too. Exploring a strange world with lots of secrets to find is great, as long as that exploration amounts to more than seeing interesting things. Otherwise, yeah, without danger and attrition it just becomes a walking simulator where you collect things that don't make much of a difference in terms of gameplay.

Seems like something I'd enjoy if they sort out these pretty massive issues. Hopefully it's something that'll be addressed in further patches. Frankly, for the amount of feedback they've gotten about these things in early access, it seems like they don't really care to fix them though.

Currently the game hinges on its design, exploration and story, which the premise i found pretty interesting, but there are some aspects that made me doubt it because most of the loot i found so far are coins, potions (so many potions since combat are easier than swatting flies) and crafting ingredients.

I am nearing the refund window, so i will wait before continuing.

Don't play this game for challenging combat. I've found none, and most encounters can be dodged running past them. However I've just entered the Forever Realm and found a new kind of sword, and enemies are hitting somewhat harder, so I may need to upgrade sometimes. There are also many rings, clothes and assorted magic items to give you boosts and powers, and I've found like eight magic spells all useful (the fact there is only one dealing damage, none for healing but several to help you move across space and time is telling about the game focus). There is also a decently balanced economy with gold and ores, of which you never have enough to buy everything you want.

This game is all about its world. Its story is well written, many quests have different way to be solved and/or choices on the output, I'm not sure whether this amounts to true choices & consequences but there's at least one place that's a bit... disfigured now because of my decisions. And I like how pushing further in the story I started to question my own choices and thought a couple times "ok, the other guys do have point there".

To be fair, the game world is vast, way bigger than I was expecting, and if I was to fight my way through it would be a chore. Enemies are there to keep you on your toes, spice it up a bit and make the world more inhabited.

Looks rather demented, but other than that it has it's own identity and soul. Maybe it's not a super RPG, but it's an OK game if one is into weirdness, I guess.

it's not demented at all, it's a bad facade

it's autogynephilic slop where you're chasing around and interacting with "powerful women" as you're running around in a bad Unity landscape from a negroid in a wheelchair to a negroid in a wheelchair, because that's the dev's idea of "representation"

negroids in wheelchairs and women he goons to and fantasises being
quite early on, a negroid not in a wheelchair points you to a quest person, mentioning the person you are looking for has tattoo on their ass, to say in not so many words that they've fucked them in their ass
that's the sort of "great writing" and "lore" you can expect, some fucking queer putting images of interracial sodomy in your head
Looks like you're having a breakdown. Take it easy. It's a game. No need to get upset.
Take care.

Remember being really unimpressed with the demo despite liking the visuals. Also found the lore to be a bit pretentious.
If it does get significantly better as exlorefag game after the first hour i am willing to give it another chance.

UGH! I let STEAM pull a train on my laptop and now Envy is impregnated with a bunch of STEAM games from my library. What a fucking laptop slut she is. I feel dirty letting STEAM rape my laptop.

It's cute how you think you're rescuing people from a game tainted by autogynephilia when most people in this thread are probably afflicted by it already. That type of transsexualism and autism are closely interlinked, so any lefty Codex types are more than likely Buffalo Bill kinda guys.

This thread was actually lacking another idiot.

So how is it compared to 2 or so years ago? Is the combat actually better now or is it just more exploration?
