My 3rd attempt to like this game but i just cant>A story and fictional world that exist only as an excuse for a theme park like map filled with various encounters>the cringe inducing talking animals with silly voices>stupid design where you are supposed to steal and pickpocket everything that's not bolted to the fking floor>RPG where optimal gameplay is to kill quest giver after the quest and act like murder-hobo Game has really nice graphics and music but i just cant force myself to push through this fake and gay world, does it get better after the fort joy?
>>736418769>A story and fictional world that exist only as an excuse for a theme park like map filled with various encountersall games are like this, and DOS1 was even worse, but the locations in 2 still somewhat makes sense.i have also heard that Larian wanted to make all locations interconnected instead of doing levels>the cringe inducing talking animals with silly voicesnothing we can do about this, it's Larian's trademark>stupid design where you are supposed to steal and pickpocket everything that's not bolted to the fking floornot really needed, just looting the dungeons is enough to have money, also crafting from the things you getwhat's more important is doing most of the combat in each map, otherwise the late game will be difficult>RPG where optimal gameplay is to kill quest giver after the quest and act like murder-hobo optimal, but not needed, i played the game where i skipped some combat and didn't kill everyone and i was still able to beat itThe best level is probably the next one, as it showcases all the skills and enemies. 3rd map/level is barebones and 4th is good, but at that point you just sort of want to get over the game.
>>736419228>all games are like thisSure in a technical sense, but that's a disingenuous point. There are obviously degrees to this.
>>736419595>Sure in a technical sense, but that's a disingenuous point. There are obviously degrees to this.There are degrees, sure, but Fort Joy feels worse than it actually is because it’s the tutorial island and every encounter is basically screaming “LOOK AT THIS SYSTEM.”Later acts tone down the carnival vibe a bit and the stakes feel less “haha wacky source shenanigans” and more grounded in actual faction conflict. Driftwood especially feels more like a real place instead of a sandbox full of XP piñatas.That said if the tone is what’s killing it for you, it never fully drops the Larian quirk. You’re still going to have possessed scarecrows having monologues and animals with sidequests. The game takes itself seriously in plot beats but the worldbuilding is always kinda tongue-in-cheek.If after 3 attempts you’re still bouncing off Fort Joy, you probably just don’t like Larian’s style. Nothing wrong with that. The combat sandbox either carries it for you or it doesn’t.
>>736418769Fort Joy was the strongest part of the game, this game might just not be for you. I personally loved it.
Same reason why I never been able to play Larian games. I want game with good story, not reddit "humor".Also, for some reason my GF loved it. But she also loved games like Witcher 3 and other onions AAA shit.
>>736418769>>stupid design where you are supposed to steal and pickpocket everything that's not bolted to the fking floorHuh? What gave you that idea? Picking up everything sounds like a huge waste of time that only a retard would think of doing. I never stole anything.>>RPG where optimal gameplay is to kill quest giver after the quest and act like murder-hobo Oh you're one of those people who optimize the fun away like a dumbass
>>736418769It is fucking shit. Truly a shame, because Original Sin 1 was really good.
