Is it comfortable to play the game with just keyboard and mouse and not controller?
It's an isometric game with a need for a lot of precise targeting. If anything, I'd imagine it feels like absolute ass to play with a controller. Kb/m is the way here and it's not even close.

Personally I agree. But tons of players disagree and prefer the controller and I don't get it.

Carpal tunnel, for people who work 8hrs a day on a keyboard/mouse they don't want to use it more for leisure activities. I understand that, especially since I box a bit and I don't need to wear out my wrists on a stupid mouse.

Not just that. My neck and shoulders start hurting when I am using M&K too much for action type games or RTS. I can use controllers for longer without having same issues.

Sounds more like a problem with chair/desk than with M&K as such.

This poor fella here used to be a semi-boss fight. Now, one full-blown hit by the Fiery Shout spell and 3/4 of his HP poofed into the ether. One critical / bleeding hit, and some waiting and dodging did the rest.

Yeah, I went from sweating bullets fighting a bear in a cave (placing traps, spawning like 6 animals to help, etc.) to... I easily fight two at the same time and stunlock them with sling abilities while slice'n'dicing the shit out of them with a legendary blade. :kingcomrade:

Btw what they were thinking with adopting WoW items grade system? Jarring.
The game is generally like that. Most of the time it genuinely feels and plays like Gothic but...... they decided to add grading system, strong wymenz everywhere ( I do mean everywhere), questionable "focus system", unnecessary "humour" etc. But not going to lie, it is still one of the best games this year. Together with SKALD and both are pixel art. Welcome to 2024 I suppose.

I refunded this after talking to a lady in the forest who was too embarrassed to go back to camp because people would make fun of her for being bitten by a wolf, so she wanted to stay bleeding out in the swamp until I went and got meds for her. The dialogue is painful, each new character making me more upset than the last until I couldn't take any more.

Unfortunately characters and dialogues are NOT going to get any better. Gameplay and exploration are still top notch though.

When I enter a world full of people that make me puke whenever I have to speak to them, it generally makes me want to escape rather than explore.

ngl, I got filtered super hard by the fetch quests.

Game has the audacity to ask me to "collect [x] amount of [x] from [x]" like a dozen times in a row. So I just went around murdering everyone.

Or I would've, if they stayed dead. Is there a finishing move like Gothic or are the NPCs just immortal?

Have you tried the same idea irl already

:badnews:
I like just about everyone I meet irl though, it's only in video games that I regularly find myself in this predicament.
No surprise - cucks IRL are afraid you'll smash their teeth in and behave accordingly.

NPCs are immortal.

edit: To be honest, I don't know as I didn't try to kill NPCs.

I know bandits stay dead. I assume most story related NPCs will be immortal.
