Played it for an hour, I'm not seeing what Codexers here are going crazy for. It was like gothic with more railroading and really bad hit detection,glitches and UI.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Finally had some time to play again. I've reached level 12. Got to the fort. I have six weapons and a shield that I have found while exploring. All of them look like they could be fun to use. I am no where near getting to use them. Stats are way too low. I met Drog in the Valley of the Damned. We had a nice little chat. 'Sup Drog? I finally found a new companion, so I'm up to four now. I was doing so well, fighting stuff that I shouldn't, killing them off end feeling proud. Then I accepted a quest to kill some weakened Albs. No problem, I'm gonna wreck their shit. Oh boy. Go there, get ambushed by spiders 30 meters from reaching them. I got smashed. Take another route. Try to fight them head on. I met my maker faster than a codexer can say "Fuck NeoGAF". Flamethrowers and laser rifles and energy weapons and I don't know what else. I just laughed while I watched them gun me down. I was thinking of sending the spiders to the Albs, but I'm doing other stuff now. All I REALLY want to do is join the Berserkers and gain the ability to use magic.

where is the more railoading?
I'm being guided by false Diego the entire time and he won't shut up.

Disappointingly I've played gothic enough times that I don't appreciate piranha remaking the same game again and again

At this point I am wondering whether there is more than 2 outcomes to the domed city conflict. Either you help the clerics fortify the city without sabotaging any of the mechanical stuff, or you try to help the outlaws take over the city, which will then result in the albs slaughtering everybody. Berserkers siding with the clerics is kind of obvious from the zerker vs alb quest, and the seperatists get caught in the middle while trying to play the other 3 factions.

Thankfully the claws don't give a fuck about any of this and continue business as usual, regardless of the outcome upstairs.

I did pretty much every cleric quest the way you are supposed to, fucked the outlaws in the ass, got Nyra hired for the job-opening and helped the seperatists so they wouldn't get kicked out. Apparently Nyra did a bad job with the shield because the other bitch is all whiny about my recommendation, I am wondering whether the zerker-dude would've been a better choice, and maybe a couple more named NPCs may have survived if I got the albs kicked out before the insurgency?
wait nyra is the cleric option? look more as a separatis/alb option (based on his diary)

I know this is heresy, but melee in this game is way, way, way better with a controller. Switching from K&M to controller got rid of a lot of the frustration and "jankiness." I suspect Piranha Bytes designed it with a controller in mind.

Yep. I realized that after the alt-dodge button was broken. Playing with a controller made the combat much more tolerable for me.

I will say that combat has had a bit of an improvement over gothic. It's now like dork souls but worse.

There's a combo meter that allows for build up but seems useless when you're fighting enemies in groups.

Game isn't hard though and hit detection is horrid. Enemies have ridiculous tracking and can hit you even if you're far from them

More railroading? You sure you're playing the same game?

Anyway, Bjorn is on some interview thing on twitch: https://go.twitch.tv/ilnetwork but I don't speak Teuton.

I asked if they will fix the bug that means I am stuck.
They said they will fix it ASAP.

Thanks Bjoern.

Anyone want me to ask them anything?

Ask him if it is a bug that stats like strength or dex do not increase your damage, and if yes, if its a tooltip bug and actually working as intended or if it is affecting the stat system itself.

They said it made enough to make Elex 2 for sure, but you already knew that.
No DLC/expansion planned or desired.

Tooltip bug if I understood right.

Someone asked if there are any Asians in the game. Answer was...

"We have no maximally pigmented people in our game." (That is German for nigger.)

From what I understand, this is the first time Piranha Bytes added romance options. Can you talk about this implementation? Is same-sex romance possible?

No, same-sex romance is not possible.

Hopefully they improve their FX in elex 2. Gothic 2 had better spell fx than this game.
i wonder where is gone the magic crystal animation from risen
