Grimoire Thread

[Cleveland Mark Blakemore]

Fought the infamous instakill spear trogs today for the first time and... what's the big deal? Cast armorplate and not only did I hit first due to speed, but they failed to penetrate a majority of the time.

Really had expected some nightmarish encounter wherein my party would be devastated by constant spears from every direction, what I got was their failure to penetrate a necromancer's robe and some pretty easy encounters even with basic autoattacking.

I been through that Saltwyrm caves a million times. Armorplate stack and missile screen, no worries. Everything bounces off.

Whoever gave Zep Zepo a Steam key, you made a huge mistake. I don't know where he got it from but a flood of popamoles have poured onto the store page, played for ten minutes and left bad reviews. I don't need these kinds of people playing the game, especially when they didn't even pay for it. DO NOT give Steam keys for free out to these dregs.

Reddit is watching, Larian. Watching closely. Heed the example of Grimoire.

How are those events related?

You need to unlock a special skill of the mental category to grasp the logic behind it

Careful with such allegations, buddy, or your steam key will be revoked!

Everything changed after pepe's review and Zep's getting a steam key.

That "waves upon waves of trogs" encounter is piss easy with horn of winter and high speed, mainly because they only attack in a single group at a time. If they came in 2-3 rows, stunlocking them all would be much more difficult to manage.

I'm not sure if anything has changed.

Grimoire seems to have been created purely as a technical challenge by Cleve and for Cleve.

I suppose we should be grateful that he even lets us lesser mortals play his game.

If you don't pay $40 then GTFO
If you do pay $40 then possibly GTFO

Sometimes I wonder if it's even worth posting feature requests, suggestions or bug reports.

Not exactly Interplay's motto.

Well at this point Golden Era Games has been around longer than Interplay so who's got the better design philosophy and dev support now?

Cry More, Faggot. I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Interplay's motto.

That's just politically correct PR propaganda, the real IPLY motto appears in hidden Fallout credits:
Fallout is "By Americans, For Americans" and the rest of the world can just get stuffed.

Two dozen updates within two weeks, all based on bug reports and suggestions from players.

Grimoire is "By Cleveland Mark Blakemore, For Cleveland Mark Blakemore" and the rest of the world can just get stuffed.

I think that's worthy of adding to the STEAM store page.

Misread it as Drogs.



Whew.

 

[covr]

Better late than never! Looking forward to raping that turtle. Or mabye it was riding? Doesn't matter now, my money is gone!

 

[Zep Zepo]

Cleve's gonna DRM Grimoire SO HARD, you'll have to send him money to unDRM your other games.

You may get a .pdf manual when/if Cleve himself figures out how things work. Either he wrote the code so long ago he forgot the language it was written in and had to re-learn it (not easy when you're 53, I assume) or it was a collective effort at Sir-Tech and he had to figure out pieces of code written by other people (again, not trivial). You're free to give it an ETA.

I'd wager I am older than you old son, but I will bow to your superior knowledge, please explain all stats, and tell us what they do, exactly.

http://grimoire.wiki/index.php/Attributes

You keep quoting the damn wiki as if it is some sort of holy writ. FFS, don't you get that the bits people want to know either are missing or are based on the manual written in the 90s. Cleve himself doesn't seem to know what the damn stats do, which are broken, which are important, and which are 'working as intended' so I fail to see how the wiki does.

You fanboys make me laugh, trying to justify broken.

Fanboys never change. Try arguing with Naruto fans or w/e it's not the greatest work of art, ever - they'll throw a fit. Ditto Grimoire fanboys/trannies competing for daddy Cleve's attention.

It's fine to enjoy Grimoire (or Naruto?) if it's your type of thing. The game's not without its merits - a nostalgia trip for some, indeed. Arguing it's anywhere near to what was promised with broken stats, classes, combat, lack of manual etc. though is one-way ticket to fanboyretardoland.

 

[Lord Andre]

Having a manual is fine but when there isn't one we can figure shit on our own like you did. We're not 5, we can deduce the workings of a video game.

I'd wager I am older than you old son, but I will bow to your superior knowledge, please explain all stats, and tell us what they do, exactly. I must be too dumb, so I eagerly await your answer. We want to see what you have deduced.

I have deduced that speed is worth pumping above all else on all characters. Maybe throw some strength points to spellcasters if their strength is lower than 30.

 

[RoBoBOBR]

Manual will be released when wiki gets more info

 

[Musaab]

What does this mean?

 

[covr]

It means that a couple of Russian copies of the game has been sold.

 

[GandGolf]

On another note, I find myself in possession of an extra Grimoire backer key via not having the patience to wait for it at launch. Any truly needy codexers out there still lacking?

If you give it to me I'll write a review for grimoire in the future after I beat the game.

 

[Snorkack]

What does this mean?

It does mean that Zep Zepos character editor conjured popamolers up who bought the game to leave a bad review and then refunded again.
Great Work Zep Zepo! You owe CMB 114.920$.

Maybe ask Felipepepe if he's in for a 50:50.

 

[Musaab]

Do charts like this affect neanderthals?
