KickStarter Encased - isometric post-apocalyptic RPG under the dome

[Quillon]

They shouldn't have given player a portrait cos the selection of portraits are so few and shit for the player and it woulda fit with the fallout spirituality successy stuffy. Whenever I notice the portrait my immershun ruins

And no custom portrait option...

Found the ''personal chest'' in the first Gas station you visit

Is it possible to split items in that container's interface? Its really annoying atm

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Whats the meaning of the green text under npc names "gives suicidal orders" for example?

Those are buffs from the Influence (speech) tree.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Contraption tree is all about utility and its really fun. I would recommend it to everyone who went servoshell route because you can use the jetpack to avoid climbing stairs. Its great for combat too.

I ran out of jet pack in the ruined sewers of nashville just now, didn't know it was limited use. Where do we get servoshell?

I just noticed that Hand-to-Hand has a Drunken Master ability passive. Now I got to play Jackie Chan...

Very soon in Nashville though only for a short while. Afterwards after the prologue I am not sure.

While exploring Junktown Slums most of my inventory disappeared, all(pre-junktown items) except equipped onesprolly. There is a small chance I got robbed somehow but its prolly a bug, reloaded the autosave, will see.

Spoiler

go to Magellan to the parking garage level, trigger two black dudes from the gates event and then talk to one of them again on garrison level

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Bros I just got to Nashville.
Again.

This is just like If Fallout had a baby with Stalker and that baby went all out on the 70s vibe.

So far not disappointed.

 

[The Wall]

Cars for players, custom portraits and walk toggle are coming - news from Encased Discord

 

[Sykar]

I bought that starter package for 10 Euros just to support the game. Yeah I like it enough just for that even though I am not even using those extra items since I deem they too powerful for early game. I just leave them in a box in Concorde.

 

[The Wall]

Agh apparently game has several gambling mini-games. Not only does this gf has great ass and nice tits, she also gives great blowjobs!

 

[Grotesque]

how bugged is this game on a scale from 1 (underrail) --to-->10 (Pathfinder: Kingmaker)

 

[Trithne]

Wondering if Fatigue/Hunger/Thirst are working as intended? Seems I can go several days before feeling a bit peckish, but I have to take a 4 day nap after strenuous exercise.

 

[True Ukrainian]

Using skills also costs fatigue, particularly if you're a psyker. This is on top of the normal drain.

 

[Zyondyne]

Is this one of those RPGs I have to wait at least one year before playing (because of bugs, balancing problems, DLCs already announced or planned etc) or can I jump straight in and I get the complete experience? (like Greedfall, which was mediocre but at least complete and playable from start to finish from day 1)

Fatigue gain feels fine, it's just hunger/thirst gain and fatigue recovery from sleep feel too low. Not playing a psyker but I can only imagine they need to drink vast quantities of Energon.

Ok.....how do you guys use the teaser or the stun granades ? How do you take down people non lethal?

Right click on them in the inventory and select "add to belt" or right clock on one of your hotbar slots and select them there. For grenades, be aware that you need 30 in contraptions to be able to throw them. Not sure about the taser though.
For non-lethal take down as the hippy Black Wing guy explained in Concorde Station, you need to build up fatigue until they fall unconcious. Taser can take them down instantly for 2 rounds but they wake up after that. I have not done a non-lethal take down character but according to the hippy, some Hand-to-Hand abilities help with that, too.
During a certain fight I also saw a guy swinging a huge bat like weapon and he dealt loads of fatigue damage. High fatigue also incurs substantial penalties.

Yeah,thanks mate. I did all the things but didn't notice that there is a contraption weapon skill. Was using them but didn't detect as an attack and was wondering why. Also it seems that non lethal is pretty bad. You can't one hit them from stealth,and they don't stay down.

 

[fantadomat]

Writing is solid.

except the old fuck at the gas station keep calling my dude "sweetheart"

lol, I was wondering about that. Thinking maybe I picked the wrong sex option in character creation.

Ok.....sweetheart.

 

[fantadomat]

So gentlemen, does this actually have a shot at codex GOTY 2021?

Pathfinder is gonna give it its run for its money, Gamedec coming out too, and now ATOM.

Who will win?

Encased seems to be a strong contender, mostly also given the fac that theres such few good sci-fi crpgs

Depends on what do you mean. If you ask if it is good as a goty,then yes. If you ask if kodexers will elect it,then no,most codexers are posers that just vote for the most popular shit,not the best game.

Agree too few good portraits.

Custom portraits are supposed to be in the first patch coming soon. They said you can apply it to an existing character.

 

[fantadomat]

Do you get a storage space in a car like fallout or do i have to dump that shit in some container?

Found the ''personal chest'' in the first Gas station you visit from the tutorial location Comrade it was there once i returned from Nashville although the map was changed I think its very asshole move to take your power armor cause muh too small exit... It also looks very much like Atom one btw.

Haven't noticed that chest lol,will check it out. I just splashed them in some random boxes there. Also i never use power armour,it makes games boring. Stealth is far too op at the moment. I just use that crossbow and spam hit them from stealth and they die.

The game at the moment suffers from the same problem as any other fallout like game,lack of AP. It is pretty annoying when you are fighting a bunch of enemies,makes it in to a waiting game. Have no idea why people say that combat is too easy,at higher difficutly you could find challenge.

I guess that means you need high AP and probably either melee or hand to hand combat skills both of which provide some heavy fatigue damage. Also sneaking past is probably preferable.

The game is harder than Fallout imo at least when comparing normal difficulties. What you need is not so much AP, though that is of course needed as well, but also AoE against groups. I restarted my psionic power armor wearing scientist and all I changed was getting the fire PSI glove for that juice flame thrower ability and suddenly fights became noticable more doable. The drawback is that the ability wears you out quickly but that is what I love about psionics in this game, they have a real drawback.

Using skills also costs fatigue, particularly if you're a psyker. This is on top of the normal drain.

Yes, we do. It is also my most bought and sought after item alongside coffee. And cigarettes!

I am playing full Science/Speech build . I have two companions and can't recruit more. Can't find perk or skill to expand my party. Limit is two companions?

It should be 3 afaik.

I have not noticed any serious bugs. Some occasional weird clipping, one group of enemies attacked me through a closed door once and some spelling errors or spelling that did not 100% match what the narrator said. Nothing that broke my game so far though of course that does not mean it might not exist.
