This game is like heroin. It scratches a particular itch so well. I can’t stop playing it. It’s such a shame that the dev cycle is so slow, getting drip fed content every few months gives me such blue balls, but I can’t help it. Usually I hate early access slop but this is to perfect of a feeling. I like the new caves update, hopefully when they finish the ability trees they can just focus on new areas and quest content since all the base stuff will be ready and allow for quicker development.Are there any other games like this worth trying? Indie projects are usually the only stuff I can enjoy nowadays.
>>722658271How come the reviews are so bad. Do you really have to repeat 2+ hrs worth of progress if you die
>>722658376No it’s just retards getting filtered. You use sleeping spots to save, you find them in camps and settlements or you can craft them with animal hides and rope. Also your caravan which means you can move it right outside of hard dungeons and save before you enter.It’s literally just babies crying because most gamers nowadays are handheld. It’s a difficult game but if you prepare and think it’s doable, but there is still enough difficulty for it to be enjoyable.
>>722658271is this game better than Quasimorth? because i did not like that one idk why but partially because of depressing setting and I do not enjoy extraction gameplay loop that much.
>>722658271I wish walking weren't such a slog. Really needs x2 speed or something.
>>722658612I like Stoneshard more than Quasimorph because in SS you can leave the dungeon at any time and come back later to finish it AND keep all the loot unlike in Quasumorph with its obnoxious loot juggling.
>>722658531>You use sleeping spots to saveWait, it's not perma death?
I remember pirating this a long time ago, maybe 5 years, can only remember the incredible pixel art, dying to a bear like 10 times, and the tedious slog of moving across the map. Maybe in 10 years I'll try it again and see if there's enough variety.
>>722658376Its got somewhat indepth injury system therefore if you go out unprepared you can easily get assfucked and need to return to town thus "wasting" time. Or actually need to leave loot behind cause your inventory limited because you juggle said healing items plus loot. Maybe you drop a splint but later in the dungeon get a broken leg and now you fucked yourself.>>722658896Nope. You have save on exit that deletes when you load it, saving at inns also creates a save. Then you can buy or craft bedrolls to use in the world except inside dungeons. I am just not playing any more till they get the fucking character creator in.
>>722658624Mods. Or start using the caravan more. Pigeon upgrade is a game changer for exploring and repositioning. Also the guy with his wagon provides cheap transport in all settlements and outposts.
>>722658967There’s currently a massive amount of variety and content, basically the first map (out of 3) is nearly done. They’ve added a city, caves, caravan and companion system, bosses, mechanics, loads of new items and magic, cooking, new enemies, quests, contract types ect. To much to list. In its current state you can play for 50 hours and still see new stuff.
>>722659056Backpacks and other containers are good for this. It’s prudent to always have medical stuff, smoke grenades and possibly elixirs/rare herbs for big challenges.I found a some of the new rare herbs that spawn and they are really really good. You can also sell them at the Bryn alchemist for 80 gold each a pop.
>>722659202While that sounds enticing, I will use my ability to delay gratification in order to experience the completed game.
>>722659859You’re a stronger man than I. I can’t help myself when I see them update it, like I said: heroin. See you in a few years.
The overland travel is really slow, streamers I watched, just use the cheat engine or mod to make it faster. Shit is too tedious I just savescum doing dungeons.Always stuck playing spear and xbow too.
>>722658271Yeah, same for me. I'm trash at this game but it's so fucking fun. I like autistic management sims that are not spreadsheets like europa universalis or victoria. This is the second exception I made for an early access game, the first one being quasimorph. I heard good things about Menace, so if I like it I might give it a pass as well
>>722658271I really do hate the save system in this game and as I get older, I just want games to have a "Save and Quit" option. If you wanna call it babybitch easy mode, I don't care, and it shouldn't be forced on people who enjoy harder settings. But, I just can't be bothered any more.
>>722659056>No character creator>Half the options are strong womyn that don't need no man.It's all so tiresome.
>>722660776If you really want to use cheat engine or mods sure go for it but the devs implemented the caravan/cart dude entirely for this.
>>722658271>Dude realist wound gameplay wow>Anyway your character is braindead retarded and dies to wildlife because some cows are stronger than demigods>By the way the average bandit den has more wealth and numbers than a small metropolisThis game is amazingly good and addictive but jesus christ
>>722661660There is a save and quit, you can stop and resume whenever you want but dying puts you back to your last rest in a bed. If you can’t handle that I don’t know what to tell you. The game HEAPS save points on the player and it’s designed to be before and after contracts for a reason.If you’re really asspained just get a mod.
>>722661883Yeah, that sounds shit. I can't be bothered with that. Just make a real save system and make it so the dev laughs at you whenever you die or something. Who cares.
>>722661859Saying your character is brain dead retarded in a game where you build your characters is a bit of a self own anon. If you’re struggling, do easier contracts, get better preparation and try again.Also, don’t fight fair. You’re one man going against dozens. Use firebombs, lure enemies into ambushes, set traps, use bows, shout so they come around corners and ranged enemies are bunched up.It can be difficult but eventually you learn how to be competent.Don’t fight bison in groups though lol for some reason they behave like bloodthirsty predators and chase you
play doors of trithius instead
>>722661816I got up to the woman hunter caravan follower but yeah, Im still save scumming going into dungeon instead of using the sleeping bag thing.Its more of my skill issue for real. The game isnt like the roguelike that you can just jump in, died with a super weapon and shit AND still make you wanna jump back in asap.
>>722662219This looks cool thank you anon
I like Quasimorph way more. Both games started at roughly the same level but Quasimorph has pulled far ahead with its updates.
>>722658271It's fascinating how this game has changed from KS until now, even if it looked marginally inferior compared to know, the old pixel art retained still quite a lot of soul, damn i can't wait for them to add the other regions :>a Swamp region with orcs >Fjords with viking dwarfs>the other human kingdom>desert region with nomad elves
>>722662436Quasimorph is cool and i like it, but the progression is kind of annoying because it is strictly vertical and it takes a very long time to see and get new things.
>>722662597Playing as the new elf character, doing dual wield curved sword build is kino. The npcs lines and barks all change as well, seems like they don’t like them lol
>>722662171>Saying your character is brain dead retarded in a game where you build your characters is a bit of a self own anon. If you’re struggling, do easier contracts, get better preparation and try again.That's unavoidable. The character really is retarded. The self harm on spells, factory needs stomach and no survival instincts in combat are grating. I did bullshit strong builds that raped the "end game", but that does fuck all to placate the fact that verren is hiring mercs from a fucking mental Ward. Early game is atrocious, guides you to avoid fighting more than 1 dirty hobo because you're a "merc" with the dodge and fight skills of a slug on salt. It's not difficuly in a gameplay Sense, it's just that it feels out of character because realistically you do start with better gear than hobo MC hobokins but for some reason he punched you by taking advantage of your sword skewering his lungs, so now you're having delusions of grandeur or somethingAlso the New food diet sanity mechanics are nega realism. Bro you're a merc in an eastern european type shithole you eat a fucking sausage and you're happy you even have food, not fall into depression because you ate garlic
>>722658271Tactics ogre reborn is what you need
How the hell is an ancient troll easier to kill than 4 bisons anyways
>>722658271It's ass. Most basic bitch "strategy" I've ever seen
>>722658271>This game is like heroinThen it's a bad game
