What is the most deus vult archetype in this game?
I think it will be fun to play zealous catholic who tries to purge anything touched by supernatural as heresy.

 

[Comte]

Man this looks really interesting.

How big is the world?

How many hours of gameplay are there?

~15 hours without taking replayablity into account, according to the devs.

You can pay 50 cigs to one of the guys at the entrance to break it for you.

Well. That's... not obvious.

I read the journal and it said to go find help and I thought about the 2 guys at the entrance. You can only talk to one of them.

Glory be to the God.

I must say I am disappointed however that they didn't include a portrait of a man in Fez, it isn't exactly out of character for this era. Such characters were prominent in literature and real life alike.

 

[hivemind]

is this good

should I play it??

 

[Funposter]

The real question: is it worth 36.5 Australian pesos (approximately 4 US dollars)???

just finished warehouse, one of the worst zones i've ever seen in a crpg. it s a pity this game good dialogue and setting is fucked by garbage tier combat mechanics

and by garbage i mean worse than arcanum

It has mandatory combat? Can you ghost it? I might need to restart then.

perhaps if you have enough stealth. that said there s mandatory combat for three quests there so you have to at least do the 2 harder rooms.

if you don t have stealth like me then get ready to ten rooms full of shit that can make you bleed.

my mistake was using firearms it s hot garbage at least lvl 5 where i am versus melee

sleeping outside, the only way to regen between the 128120120 fights there is also amazing. and by amazing i mean there are encounters of things doing 1 dmg and giving decent exp and encounters that are death 100% .

you can leave combat after so many turns by going to the appropriate spaces, you get the same amount of xp as you would normally. it's called progressive escape or something, press f1

you mean the teal , escape routes right? did you do the warehouse ? because ( minor spoilers ahead )

Spoiler

take the ambush room as an example, there are 8 ghouls there and the route only shows up after you damage them enough which is a lot

and i'm not even taking the cost of cigs for healing itens here, if i did not go rest after 1-2 rooms i'd be absolutely fucked since you need the money later on

 

[Child of Malkav]

Doesn't the tutorial say that the escape becomes available after eliminating a few enemies?

 

[Yosharian]

I don't see the point of this warehouse level, I have so much stealth I'm a fucking ninja and I still can't get past them all. And the last few rooms seem to be forcing combat, which results in massive sanity penalties.

So I guess I'm just leaving this guy dead here and never coming back here, I dunno

And of course the game's save states cannot remember stealth...

 

[Child of Malkav]

Can the warehouse be avoided or is part of the main quest? Also what's the max level for skills?

dunno about max skill level, dunno if the warehouse can be avoided , but at the very least you'll lose two side quests and something i think can lead to a third.

it's quite a lot of content/xp, don t know if it'll make a big difference later on

 

[Yosharian]

Also how the fuck does stealth work for companions??

 

[Jenkem]

Can you not go back there after leveling up?

also not sure what max skill level is but the game says you can only max out skill levels of the skills associated with your archetype (3 of them)

 

[Child of Malkav]

I think it only counts your score not theirs. I have stealth 3 and the outsider has 2 and I could sneak by quite a lot even though he got close to enemies

 

[Yosharian]

Where the fuck is that container for the MQ?

yea that s why i picked the noble archetype, because of speech and got stuck with the butler lmao. then again i'm not 100% sure i can t dismiss him but i did not found the option.

as for going there later i guess it s possible but i needed the exp for one point in another skill to solve another wall in another quest

i guess stealth only counts in the MC just like crafting, which is bizarre since it s a starting skill for the outsider

 

[Yosharian]

I don't understand this. There's no way the final room of the warehouse isn't optional. The three ghouls that exist at the start of the fight are bad enough, but 4 more just arrived? This is literally impossible...

Where the fuck is that crate?

But even Batman that is the greatest detective and a mighty ninja keeps his butler in service!
