Sold another 1100 copies of the game in a second .99 cent sale.

More minions for my ever growing army of the undead. (BLOOD? or a movie line? Can't remember)

Is there a post mortem on the development of the game? I'd be interested in reading that.

It's going to be a novel rivaling the size of War and Peace.

I bought it a long time ago but I still haven't played it (apart from just messing around in the first area to see how it looks and plays).
You can have a first time experience with Grimoire only once, and I want my first time to be in V4 which was supposed to be out like half a year ago, but goddammit Cleve, I'll wait as long as necessary...

I have a Grimoire GOG key for the first motherfucker that quotes this.

Now I have a Grimoire GOG key for the first motherhecker that quotes this.

Now I have a Grimoire Gog key for the first fella that quotes this. Keep your moms outta this unless they're playing too.

Well, I suppose waiting is an elemental part of the Grimoire experience...

 

[Lim-Dûl]

Just play it. V4 is not happening.

Ten years on the Codex today, and I am still alive!

Like Grimoire, I'm perpetual I'll never die.

 

[Lady Error]

I joined a month after you and also because of Grimoire.

 

[Covenant]

Picked this up recently and I'm enjoying it, but the UI is pretty clumsy to navigate. Is there any way to move things in/out of my character's hands without specifically going into the equip screen? It's kinda cumbersome if I want to sharpen/enchant/assay my weapon, and I figured there might be a quicker way of doing it that I hadn't found.

Shame on you, Konjad

 

[Sykar]

Why? He does what the codex does best, hate a game!

 

[Darth Roxor]

what can you do it's just significantly inferior to old dungeon crawlers like skyrim

Shame on you, Konjad

This was my initial impression too, tbf. That was before I replayed Wiz7 with a deep dive into the mechanics. If I came back to Grimoire now I'd probably really enjoy it.

 

[LostHisMarbles]

Konjad shame on you man.
Really, you should be ashamed.

You don't have to bury incline; if you didn't like it.. just move on man.
Shame.

Agreed that the game goes heavy on quantity to the detriment of quality. Up until you go over the falls it's the best blobber ever made, then you have 100 more hours of game of varying but consistently lower quality.

 

[Butter]

Nah Grimoire is pretty great throughout. It takes most of the great things about Wizardry 7 and manages to expand on them. More than probably any other blobber it has a sense of not knowing where the boundaries are. It always feels like there are more mysteries and secrets to uncover as you play it.

 

[Dadd]

The only tedious part for me was the miner 49ers. Don't remember other cases of quantity over quality.

The entire snake temple/dungeon comes to mind.

The Baphomet Megalith was one of the high points for me. Because of how the game opens up at that point, it depends when you explore the content. It was indeed a slog, but that is how our party endured and grew stronger. It is interesting, as some people claim the game gets easier as you go on, but this dungeon was a true challenge, a fight for survival. Gaining every inch of ground was an accomplishment, and I enjoyed the puzzles as well as the new tiles sets used for this location. The boss encounter was also memorable.
