ELEX ELEX II - Jax is back

[Roguey]

Patch didn't do anything. Goddamn, get your shit together PB. At the very least you could have provided another camera option. I have a really hard time understanding how that can be such a difficult thing to achieve when they are working off the same engine yet again.

Don't get me started on the performance. I think I've actually dropped a few FPS since I last played.

THQ Nordic Community Manager says they're working on the camera, but it had to be lower-priority https://steamcommunity.com/app/900040/eventcomments/3190242859080903514/#c3190242859080929395

Narrator's note: They're not working on the camera.

alt-tabbing when you're in that menu.

alt tab is the only thing that slows those fans down for me

i mean sure it makes my gpu use go from 100% to 0 too, but it also introduces a critical fps drop that makes the game unplayable and which isn't always easily resolved

Gothic 3 didn't kill the studio. Nothing will.

So I stumbled upon an easter egg.

Spoiler

The developer graveyard! All of our favorite Piranha Bytes developers are here, including Björn and Jenny.

Easter egg in an easter egg: The T-800 also has a grave...

Gothic 3 killed Gothic. Elex 2 will kill PB.

There's quite a few easter eggs at that graveyard. I think most of the graves are easter eggs, except for those that are quest-related.

Looks like this game is divisive and will become cult classic in few years

Was only a 2.9GB patch for me.

Huh. Locked out of morkons for not being destructive enough.
So the faction choices are berzerkers, morkons, berzerker or morkon and defect to outlaw, albs (major destruction shift), and alb and defect to clerics (perhaps reverse alignment shift?).

 

[lukaszek]

anyone tried to go factionless?

 

[ADULF HITLOR FAN KLUB]

My character is still factionless, and it works well... but I am planning on joining the Albs and then possibly defecting to the Clerics.

I will probably go that way. The best set of free armor before joining anyone can be found in depot chests. I don't know what is available for factionless.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

hope you guys didn't already do the escort quest for the albs or you're screwed lmao

 

[Stokowski]

It's impressive that PB are continuing their policy of environmentally aware, sustainable game development by making the NPCs and dialogue out of wood.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

You can't join albs unless you do.

Is there a 'good' choice to avoid the arena bloodbath in grotto?

 

[rusty_shackleford]

You can't join albs unless you do.

It bugs out and he goes back to the crater if you don't immediately follow up on it.

I believe the "rebel clothing sets" are the best armor for factionless characters. You can buy them from Lasse in Fort.

 

[Cpt. Dallas]

Buy!??!

 

[lukaszek]

factionless sound tempting but then im quite into claws underdog. I wonder if you get claw content down the line or is just generic outlaw thing
