KickStarter INSOMNIA: The Ark - dieselpunk sci-fi action-RPG set on a decaying space station

[PrettyDeadman]

Good customization options:

Eh, faces and hairdo aren't all that, but the outfits are the coolest.

He literally looks like blonde hitler.
Could've done the black hairstyle, but unfortunately there is no hitler - mustache in options.

I've seen 2 non-combat oriented starting classes - one computer guy (Tektor or smh), the other is mechanic.
Can anyone answer how prevalent are non-combat options like hacking something or tinkering something?

You use them often to unlock different areas and equipment. They also unlock dialogue options sometimes.

Computers and mechanics have additional benefits though. Each level of computers will increase experience gain by 10%, and each level of mechanics will make weapons degrade slower and improve carry weight.

First proper hub of the game feels a lot like Cleric Citadel in Elex.

Performance still shit? wont touch this, despite the interesting premisse if it can run properly.

It runs fine, but bugged to hell and back.

do the different classes offer different quets/paths etc?i picked the grunt jaeger,looks good so far-i especially like they used latin etymology for name and world building instead for the lazy generic names like citizen-trooper etc.
i expected to see more cyrillic though,not a bad thing in my book its just adds to the experience.

Using Ordinator allowed to close a quest without violence and forced a barkeeper to open sales for me. Not sure about the rest but you do get unique dialog for each I think.

 

[Jinn]

Yep. I'm playing with the thief-like Helot and I get some nice roguish dialogue options fairly often. Actually a really cool feature that your class actually reflects the history of your character. People respect, but generally are wary of me because of my past and origins.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Hertor(?

Helot

 

[razvedchiki]

helot hehe.

 

[razvedchiki]

Im having stuttering issues/game freezes every time i speak to someone,music also cuts out.im using lowest settings,any tips?

 

[PrettyDeadman]

I've switched from EPIC to Medium or smh. with no difference in fps.

 

[Safav Hamon]

One thing I didn't realize until further in is how many unique dialogue options there are for random skills.

I used leadership (+1 follower) to impersonate a member of the People's Wrath and find out where their shipment is.

 

[Safav Hamon]

What I find cool about the random encounters is that they sometimes spill over into the main locations.

For example, I helped Kazim in his random encounter and he shows up at Vultures Rest to give me a new location on the map.

From a Steam review:

Fucking Millennials.

 

[razvedchiki]

As a jaeger i tried to loot one dead soldier from the outpost riots and was stopped by the sarge,nice but you can loot containers from populated areas without reprecusions.

my favourite random encounter was this cultured thug playing piano, he was pretty good

also first one I headshot

Spoiler

 

[Safav Hamon]

My favorite was the duel with the undefeated arena fighter, because I looted a unique two-handed plasma hammer off his corpse.

 

[Safav Hamon]

The most hilarious bug is how companions will spawn doing random things in some locations. Instead of following me, Gosp is making tea.

 

[a bear named spigot]

instead of following me, Gosp is being a useless cunt doing I don't even know what. 95% of the time I literally have no idea where he is.

Sounds like a very realistic portrayal of a normal employee.

He's likely stuck somewhere, loading a save usually spawns him next to you.
Safav Hamon where is the arena? Forgot where the blonde said it would be.

Going to Dr Keller in Vultures Rest will always respawn companions.

Safav Hamon where is the arena? Forgot where the blonde said it would be.

I haven't discovered the arena yet, but I saw on someone else's map that it's right above the Crematorium.

Where's this then?

 

[Safav Hamon]

It was a random encounter
