ELEX Pre-Release Thread

[Elwro]

What they did in G1 and G2 and what they tried to do in G3 is more than enough to put any PB game on my watchlist.

Spoiler

Then I should move to the RPG Watch hurhurhur

 

[Darth Roxor]

lol @ the h8rs

this is GOTY in the making

 

[Makabb]

Looks like Fable by Molyneux

 

[Makabb]

I have to say though the combat looks way better than Witcher 3

They need to really up the ham for this to be memorable. Have the player stumble across an inter-dimensional rift early in the game....with the Sleeper tumbling through, and see the Nameless Hero on the other side, shielding himself from a cave-in (end of Gothic 1) - it closes and the Sleeper starts running amok in Medalianor or wherever

The setting looks pretty much generic and the fantasy sci fi is pretty derpy, but it will be memorable by the fact that the count of rpgs in 2017 is 3

Do we know if this one has a continuous open world?

yes


Thanks to the open world, players have access to all five regions of the game world right from the very start. Go where you want, choose your battles and your allies. The only thing in the world that will stop you are the mutant creatures that live in Magalan’s Elex-polluted landscapes. Walk, run, or punch your jetpack into action. If you can see it, you can reach it. Open world role-playing has never been more open.

It does. No loading screens, and 1.5 times the size of Gothic 3's map.

(Note: Complete vagueness thus-far, as to quality of content within...)

 

[Makabb]

Find a companion, choose a faction and influence the world. In Elex there is no traditional class system. Instead you must earn the trust of experienced teachers to develop the skills you select. But, skills alone won’t be enough to survive in this harsh and challenging world. Your attitude towards the people you meet will influence those around you. Will you make an ally or an enemy? Is now the time to show emotion or take the course of logic? Every choice will forge the future of your game.

Being raised as an Alb and fed pure Elex to strengthen your body, which also stripped you of all emotions, your world of cold logic and military discipline were all you knew. Set to rise through the ranks, a scourge to your enemies, your destiny seemed certain. Now, as the smoke rises over the wreckage of your glider in the mountains of Edan, you are trapped far from your home Xacor. With no access to pure Elex, you are experiencing emotions for the first time in your life. Stranded amongst your enemies and outcast from your people, in front of you lies a new and open path, as heavily laden with magnificence as it is with ruin. The decisions you make will decide the fate of the world. Magalan – will you be its slayer or its saviour?

 

[Makabb]

So the PC is a junkie who eats pure drug and the whole fate of the world rests on your shoulders? Not very hero like character !

Oh boy. I'd have preferred something the size of Gothic 2. Gothic 3 having tons of generic MMO quests has to do with them trying to just fill the game with content no matter what. That doesn't bode well.

In Elex you can basicaly kill any named character and story is supposed to go on, but what will happen if someone will kill all npcs ?

It's the only way to get the positive ending scene.

Albanian? "I am looking for the Albanian killer number one, he is a middle-aged man"

 

[PirateScum]

I remember 'That PR Guy'™ saying in one interview, that you can kill all npcs... exept ~5 (can't remember the exact number) for reasons!

this is GOTY in the making

If only it were GOT(h)Y(c) in the making.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Should've name it Xaxx0r.

Well, the nameless hero from Gothic series is a convicted criminal.

 

[Gnidrologist]

And he did shrooms.

 

[decaf]

It's FalloutSkyrim!

 

[hello friend]

Elex.

It can fuel technology.

 

[Alienman]

I heard it taste like chicken.

 

[Trodat]

You can also keep playing after you have finished the main story.

[ERYFKRAD]

If it's a proper PB game, just so you can waste the fucker who beat you at the start of the game.
