would be decimated before dude can even draw his sword.

The only reason why mages are defeatable in games are because game balance. Stereotype like mages are squishy people with little or no protection and equipment restriction are pure game mechanics.

The only one who can stand against mages would be other mages, or maybe a warrior using tricks and enchanted items.

Sounds like magic is OP as fuck and makes the game boring. That's a shame... Was hoping to do a mage build replay one day.
Magic is *supposed* to be super powerful. I'm fucking sick of modern games nerfing mages to put them at the same level as fighters/rogues.

Kinda... the trade off was always you are a fucking gimp early on and the big payoff was you were a nation wrecker by the endgame. This game that applies in the early levels but you are already god tier by mid level so the power curve is a little jacked up. Big difference between 'nerfed' and hit single button to win, Greedfall leans toward the latter.

Fucking eurojank. I should've known that codex liking this was a bad sign. It's always the same when it comes to third person action RPGs
Go and play your murictard garbage then,you could always replay dragon age inquisition. Fuck i am getting old,i already forgot when the last time muricans created good rpg was.....a decade ago.....maybe.

Fuck this thread is filled with retards that don't even play games and yet argue about what is wrong with them....

Don't worry the US game industry is destroying itself nicely along with movies because agenda pushing is top priority now over gameplay, story, or anything else. Strong empowered lesbo wahmen will lead us bravely into insolvency. Sadly, it appears even CDPR has caught the woke virus because they made too much money off W3. It will be JRPGs and eastern europeans like Warhorse (KCD) that will be the only ones left fighting the poz.

Have you played Chaos Reborn? You'll like the lore a lot.

I'm liking it overall, but there was a native chieftain who backstabbed De Sardet and I was offered no option to kill him for his impudence. De Sardet may not be cut out for the hard business of colonization.

I'm really disappointed by how much of a pussy De Sardet is, was hoping for more control of his personality + dialogue options

Yeah, I was going in expecting you would be able to be this hardass colonist, but the game is really set in its ways forcing you to play this young naive young nobleman with a strong believe in natural rights. I don't mind it really, but it distorted the view I had of the game in the beginning. Now instead of being the sole enemy of everything native, they are my best pals :hug:

Wandering the world randomly in search of maps
Let me guess, same old Spiders combat system:

-unlimited combos but enemy will punish with auto-counter after 2-3 hits
-dodge roll with no iframes, possibly upgradable with skills
-A timed parry with interrupt counter
-Some type of stun move that deals little damage but can create an opening
-Secondary gun attack you can toss out mid-combo
-Some type of magic burst damage limited by a small but quickly refilling meter
-A spell to buff your weapon with magic damage
-A magic shield w/ counter aura damage
-Bombs, traps, and somewhat crummy stealth

Did I miss anything?

Magic is much more its own thing in this game than in Technomancer or Bound By Flame. There's no magic shield with counter aura damage, instead there's an armor system that reduces your vulnerability to physical attacks. Blunt weapons, bullets and some spells break down armor. Rather than giving you a magic shield, you can magically restore lost armor points, and adding more points to that branch of the skill tree gives you extra buffs. Technically, buffing your weapon with elemental damage is no longer part of the magic skill tree, it's the point where the technician tree intersects with the warrior tree.

But pretty much.

And the good rpgs are where? A diablo clone and a third-rate third of a game from obsidian is hardly good rpg.

CDPR Is also a slav studio from poland. Have no idea if they have went full sjw tho,when the game comes out we will see. The last few years are filled with great european rpgs like Kingmaker,ELEX,ATOM,KC etc etc. The american game industry is rotting away no matter how you look at it.

Fuck,just finished exploring BEDRI and had no loot,only the professors journal....disappointing.
I'm at the exact same place bar like half an hour. This was disappointing as fuck.

Same. :-/ That was kinda beat, I was fully expecting the first 'mini-boss' to drop something especially since I read one of the reviews stating that the big encounters like that gave interesting items so that was disappointing. I also only got 3 outta 4 journals somehow in there not sure where I missed the fourth one but that was annoying too. :?

Sneaking up and backstabbing an entire group of wild animals is hilarious.
It is shame that the game doesn't have a stealth three.

Yeah,all the boss fights are disappointing in the loot department. Tho the fights were pretty cool for me at least.

There is some weird slowdown effect when you kill an enemy with magic. Any way to disable it? It really interrupts the flow of combat, considering how quickly some of the enemies die.

About the disguise system-
Anyone know what faction the armor sets with the black/white crossed weapons emblem belongs to? I thought I got all the emblems matched with the appropriate faction, but I think I got something messed up somewhere.

so... is it worth full price?
can someone compare it to technomancer in terms of combat, backtracking, quests and setting by saying better/worse?
So far I haven't encountered any backtracking like Technomancer.
It's worth buying IMO, I like it. But I was also a big fan of Technomancer.

Well, I only paid $43 for my copy. I think its worth it at that price, but also if you have other games to play, no harm in waiting for it to go on sale.

I'm starting to think the lack of loot from bosses might be a bug.

Before the game comes out I watched some preview video where they beat a boss and it actually drops two unique equipment.
