Have you found all the witches?
>>736433058nice happy trail god i hope she has hairy pits too
>>736433058what am i looking at? who's the puta?
>>736433191yes honey anything for you sweetie i can brew anything and have hairy armpits in near instant as you please my honey bear
>>736433058what mods are you using
post naira
Finally found the noble gold location to steal and devs decide to nerf its spawn rate..
>>736434019Looks like an AI pass but honestly who the fuck knows anymore.
Am I weird for not understanding why everyone's saying the story is bad? I just finished chapter 7 and while it could use a bit more exposition here and there to clarify some things, it's considerably better than what passes as a main quest in your average Bethesda game.
>>736434174>just spent all my money upgrading Kliff>seen this gif>about to hit the gambling parlor againFuck
>>736434316I don't get it either, it's as bad as any bethesda game and better than games like elden ring which have actually no story to speak of, maybe because games like witcher 3 set the bar so high?Personally I skip all cutscenes in every game ever anyway so I don't give a shit, this game annoys me because I can't skip cutscenes.
Do trees grow back? I just turned my camp grounds into Isengard. I couldn't stop.
I've found 3 so far, and I need to find more so I can consolodate all these crit +1s into crit +2s
>fighting crow boy>random goblin merchant or trader is running by and gets clipped by a shitton of crows>drops a treasure chest>gold barthanks buddy
>>736434316it's fine, I enjoy it, it's interesting enough, and has a TON of great set pieces for massive battles that only Dynasty Warriors Origins has done better. Again, it's an instance of IGNism - not playing the game past chapter 2
>>736434316>>736434417Its because its one of the easiest pseud opinions to have that needs no justification and makes the person who says it feel smart like they’re some hi end art critic when in reality they’re a fat unemployed loser.
>>736433058She's jelly
when do I fucking unlock elements? I'm on chp6
>>736433606
>>736435356They’re tucked away in the abyss, anon. Not story related.
>>736435331>you seein this shit bro? this is what being a greymane is all about
>>736434316It's the most by the bones generic story out there. Bethesda's stories might not be better per say but at least they have a bunch of memorable characters not just in the main story but on side quests too.Even Kliff barely counts as a character. The dragonborn has more charisma and is more memorable than him.
>>736435451You mean the abyss sections aren't part of the main story path?
You can make a female character in this game or those are just mods?
i am overwhelmedmid of chapter 5i dont know how the dispatch stuff worksi dont know whether i should focus on side quests and if so which
>>73643556390% of them are side content. Some if them are from puzzles you find in the world that send you into a section of the abyss.
>>736435563Only some and small ones. I can imagine screeching if you would have to do abyss puzzles to progress through story lmao.
2/7 Vaults foundIm still hoping for the 3rd one by next week
>>736435451are you fucking serious? which spire?
>>736435356you could've had them long ago minus wind
>>736435451WHY ARE ELEMENTS TUCKED AWAY WHAT THE FUCK
jannies need to nuke this thread ong
>>736435867>5 RE threadsfuck off
>>736434316Because none of it is connected. Goblin Yoda kinda proves that
>>736435840I with you anon. I just beat(?) chapter 7 and I still dont have the elements unlocked either.I've been doing a lot of exploration too. Granted its mostly been in Hernand and Pailune.
>>736435867seethe more you pathetic pretend janny bitch>>736435908it IS all connected though, from the bandits harvesting stones to LAVA MYURADINit all comes back to the Abyss seeping into the world
>>736435982Explain the time travel portion in a way that makes sense
>>736436058>>736435982Use spoiler tags
>>736435804The lightning one is unlocked in the spire you do in scholastone. Just keep going through the abyss puzzles from it. Frost and Fire are locked in another spire.
>>736433058I love witches
>>736435554>It's the most by the bones generic story out there. Eh. It's a pretty fun DnD campaign that has just enough weird quirks of Asians writing western style fantasy to be compelling. Other than that, it does to its story what it does to its gameplay, basically just taking from other works in the genre and trying to put its own spin on it.>Bethesda's stories might not be better per say but at least they have a bunch of memorable characters not just in the main story but on side quests too.I do no agree with that. I can barely tell you what a single characters personality in Skyrim or Fallout 4 is besides their role in the story. And even in Oblivion and Fallout 3 I remember maybe one or two who for being the gimmicky annoying comic relief like Moira or the Adoring Fan. Character writing is something that Bethesda is just utterly incapable of.CD's not much better, mind, mostly on the virtue of moving from on from them so quickly they don't get time to develop but at least I can remember some of the Greymane guys and the more flamboyant villains.>Even Kliff barely counts as a character. The dragonborn has more charisma and is more memorable than him.I don't mind the guy. He's a generic gruff warrior but occasionally he gets a good line or a nice interaction.
hot opinion: people wouldn't be crying if they had just cut Oongka and Boobs being playable at all and made them just party members that can join you (as is the case now)Sometimes cutting an idea is better than leaving in a half baked one
WHEN DO I GET THE BARBER AHHHHHH I HAVE 12 GUYS UNLOCKED FOR MY CAMP GOD DAMNIT
>>736436318>red hair>blue eyes>fair skinshe's literally perfect
Is there any good fanart
>>736436395I bet they just end up giving the side characters force palm and an axiom claw. Or maybe different versions of the same thing so you can at least do puzzles with them.
>>736436395>cutting features is better because it means less complainingNah I don't care. If made the game with that philosophy then 90% of it would be cut content and it'd be a linear beat em up.If you don't like something, just don't do it. That's how the game works. There's only a few exceptions such as slowly following on a horse during a main story quest.
>>736436286>Just keep going through the abyss puzzles from it. Facking hell that was 50 hours ago. Will continue thanks
>>736436340All Daedra quests and vaults were pretty memorable
>>736433058Hey comfy thread I was curious if this has the BDO character creator in it and if I can remake my BDO waifu in this comfier single player game instead?I really don't know shit about this game so if I'm way off base then I apologize for being retarded.
>>736436582Nigga I spent like 3 hours going through abyss puzzles. They’re fun and rewarding.
>Oongka can use the Kuku Bismuth Spearfuck year, I didn't waste mats after all
>>736433058130 hours and I am still in hernand.I have spread a little into deminiss though, mainly on the main quest and a side quest with yann.
>>736436437She has a nice home too
>>736436582the spire of ringing truth. pailune bring a bow and lots of arrows.
>>736435840>>736435932>>736435804>>736436582Funny thing too is not only are they tucked away on the abyss, they didnt even tell you that you just got them.I carried on playing for an hour not realizing I had lightening.I dont really know how to utilize it well, other than doing it with a turning slash or charges shot.
>>736434316It's not so much the story but the writing itself. You can have a mediocre overarching storyline but if the writing is good then most people will give it a pass. Plenty of Rockstar games have shitty storylines but at least the writing is entertaining.
>>736434316i like the story too. it's really well put together, and there isn't any subverting expectations so far so im enjoying myself. it just starts off slow.
>>736434316Story is borderline fine, it's the presentation that sucks, and the random series of quests at the start serving as a tutorial leave a poor impression. The devs should have pushed the Greymane quests earlier, like do the core Greymane quests first with andrew/naira/duane/yann, then have the bears attack the camp. This gets players invested in wanting to find Kliffs friends and makes him seem like less of a fleshy automaton.
>>736436417I have 25 and still don’t have it kek
>>736437110the story is jumping way too much from "getting your bros back" to "mystical shit and otherworldly powers" back to "we wuz knights n shit" so much
>>736437110>the nobleman who helps you is just a good man and does not mustache twirl later on>the evil seeming nobleman who ignores the poor later rethinks his position when they save his wifeShit being played straight is so rare and refreshing that I would almost say it is now subverting expectations itself
>>736436974What the fuck theres no popup?
>>736437180Agreed. The order of everything is out of wack. A couple lines here and there for WHY you are doing the things you are doing would also help a lot. It always feels like I missed some key piece of information when I look at my quest objectives.
>70 hours>still using thiswhere the fuck do i get another cape, helmet, armor man
Am I wrong or do the stam,hp,spirit regen gears just suck?
>>736437408Same, but I've found a few special helmets. Too bad they can't be upgraded for more defense.
>>736437414I am using 2 level III HPs and 1 III Spirit and they seem great. Combined with my jewelry I heal back to full in no time. When I did the camp with Bradie GOOOOOO I just tanked the arrow storm because it hurt me less than I regen
>>736437414I think they get better at higher gear levels. The level 1 ones suck.
>>736437216I don't actually mind that it goes "Okay, we've done Game of Thrones for a while, now we'll do a bit of DnD for a change."I like that the high fantasy and the low fantasy side basically take turns. You get the minor stuff about the Greymanes and their quest for revenge and the political tension between these different countries. And then, occasionally, you get a glimpse at all the bigger picture metaphysical stuff with Alustin and White Crow that, I imagine, will eventually play a bigger part. It brings some variety.
>>736437414the only gears i'm using are crit rate, attack speed, movement speed, defense, and damage reduction
>>736435554>Bethesda's stories might not be better per say but at least they have a bunch of memorable characters not just in the main story but on side quests too.Only a handful. The most memorable unironically are the generic meme guards in both oblivion and Skyrim.
>>736437342No. You just do an abyss area like normal. though this one was lightening themed so that is an indication.I dont think i missed any pop up as it just popped up as usual about completing the abyss and getting the artifact.Either way it is not a stand out notification of you getting it even if there was a knowledge input.Still, you will see it eventually when you use the quick menu.
what do i even do with this
i've first timed basically every boss except for antumbra's sword and holy fuck trying to kill that guy in the cold region who drops the shadow armor is like tickling the fucker and he one taps mehow strong do i need to be to kill this niggamy weapon is only like 27 attack damage and lvl 6 crit
>>736436712I saw that every character can use Kliffs long swords so a longsword was the first thing I maxed.
Is this game worth $70 or is it a tranny game?
>>736437791It's a tranny game. But if your straight and not toxotranny you can install this
>>736437765Uh, it tells you...
>>736437791that's like an hour of work nigga why you sweating it
>>736437791If you equate money to game ratio, it's a pretty good deal. If you want to roleplay though, it may not be for you
>>736437634Its almost that even know it is kliffs story, he doesnt feel like the saviour of the world. You know like elder scrolls where the world revolves around the chosen one.He just feels like a gay with a small faction in a world with many factions.
>>736437875i dont have a gardener
>>736437791What is your definition for a tranny game? Because something tells me it's gonna be something a lot dumber than "A game with trannies in it."
>>736437838>fear of catsThat's not a real thing. Who the fuck would be afraid of a housecat?
>>736437985brown people
>>736434174Why is she rocking a miniskirt and lace panties like a prostitute?
>quest sends me to talk to some lord>go where he's supposed to meet me>instead of him there's a giant robot that bursts through the floor of a circus tent>fight him in one of the shittiest bossfights of my life>he dies>zero explanation given as to what the actual fuck just happened>my reward is a cap that shoots confettiThis game deserves to be included in future schizo-core lists.
>>736438032It's based on a Korean MMO, what do you expect
>>736437408>>736437556they hide most armor sets in caves and other exploration points (yes I know its dumb). Check your journal
>>736437928You need them later on to upgrade gears and because they are not so easy to get, the best way to literally farm them is to literally farm them but that requires you to upgrade the camp and do some hoop jumping to get fertilizer and spray packs as well as daily babysit the farm.Keep them all of course.
>>736438032You knew what you were getting into the moment the game starts. Cleaning a chimney and giving a begger a single coin is enough to get chosen to fight the forces of corruption in this world.
>>736436340>weird quirks of Asians writing western style fantasy to be compellingWhich makes most of the writing insufferable to slog through.>I do no agree with thatYou're in the minority. There have literally been threads dedicated entirely on the discussion of a single character from those games like picrel. Even more minor characters like Serana are more interesting than anything in CD.>I remember maybe one or two who for being the gimmicky annoying comic relief like Moira or the Adoring FanAnd Crimson Desert doesn't even have that.It tries to take itself so seriously it doesn't even have a character that's memorable simply for being funny.>I don't mind the guySummed up everyone's thoughts on him. A non-character who could be replaced by any of the other two slightly more interesting companions without altering the story in the slightest.
I caved and looked up the locations of one of Damianne's aemor sets. Game seriously expected me to go fight a boss with her with nothing but her base gear and stats
>>736434316Its not bad, it's just bland. The rest of the game more than makes up for it.
>>736438179that's not Bethesda, retard. You blew your own argument in the second fucking line
There's too much game in this gameI don't think we'll get something like this again for a long time
>>736437905Yeah. I feel like his defining moment is that one line he says to... either the first guy you arm wrestle of the knight you learn the jump kick from, I don't remember. "True strength comes from humility."He's a guy who doesn't talk much, helps whereever he can and tries to be a responsible leader. He doesn't have the interiority of a character like Geralt from Witcher or Arthur from RDR2 but he's a decent, classic fantasy hero.
>>736438230If anything this game hopefully shows western devs they need to up their game, literallyBut alas
>>736437408>>736437556explore niggasi try to ride out to every cave i can see peaking through the fog of war on my mapother stuff you get from bosses
im gonna fffffffffucking install the sleep modlet me sleep whenever iwant man
>>736438326>he sleptyou didnt beat the game
>its at 0>its still presentWHY IS THIS SHIT NOT WORKING
>>736434123Keep checking nobles, they occasionally carry gold bars you can pick pocket. Apparently there's loads of nobles in the animal park somewhere in demenyss, tho I think if you pickpocket them all and continue the game, the bars won't respawned - I got 1 from Hernand and haven't seen another one in days. You might want to do a round of pick pocketing, kys and repeat from checkpoint, which let's you keep your loot but resets some of the stuff. If you ever see a travelling goblin merchant, pull a sword out and scare him, he'll drop his chest that has gold bar.And there's alchemy and blacksmiths
>>736437414You're better off farming mats for your accessories. They give better boosts with no abyss gears needed.
>>736438179>>I do no agree with that>You're in the minority. There have literally been threads dedicated entirely on the discussion of a single character from those games like picrel.Someone else pointed it out already, but yeah, way to support my argument. If your first example of good character writing in a Bethesda game comes from what's actually an Obsidian game, you know you're grasping at straws
>>736438378reno is a bit fucked on the latest game version because pearl abyss decided its time to shit everything up
First resident evil requiem now this game. Why do devs love spiders so much?
>no character creatorWasted opportunity
>>736438257The man is a literal non-character. I honestly can't think of any MC in any RPG that's less of a character.Sure, you might say the MC from Fallout 4 or from Starfield are bland. But they aren't THIS bland
>>736438430
>>736438173Don't you get chosen after having your throat cut?
>>736438257Easy self insert. He is like link from zelda in that regard. Stoic and reserved and gives off his character from his actions. Which is right.
>>736438113>they hide most armor sets in caves and other exploration points (yes I know its dumb)Not dumb at all but great for exploring. You actually find cool shit unlike some other AAA titles with copy pasted pois with generic loot .
>>736438230We very well might, actually. I think Pearl Abyss is planning to release DokeV, their next game, next year. And while it's obviously something very different in terms of setting, it seems to be going for a similarly maximalist approach.
>>736438430its like safe horny feet and armpits
>>736438257If those two normies are your go to protagonists then you’re not in a position to judge any writing little zoomie.
>>736438459What is the Starfield MC's personalityI'll wait; I can describe Kliff.
>>736438430The projectile suck skill is a must, I recommend everyone IIRC to get it. It looks like a gimmick but some fights are unbelievably cancer without it.
>>736435631Welcome to the club. I've started doing sections of combat, abyss puzzles and exploration, switching between them depending on what I feel like. Done majority of side stuff in Hernand, now I mostly stick to the mq until I feel like faffing about again
>>736438541Name ONE non-eroge with armpit fan service please
>>736438429but i have the latest version reeeee
>>736436961>bow and lots of arrows.bro... Your nature's snare?
>>736438391>>736434123It still spawns its just low and RNG.It was already fucking broken but with the 1 gold bar from lioncrest you can eventually make infinite.
>>736438575Yea new anons don't know but starting from like chapter 4 its basically a MUST have otherwise you're gonna suffer a lot.
>>736438113I agree. The rewards should be stamina upgrades, inventory slots and money instead.
>>736438571>I can describe KliffGo on
>>736435631i'm just not going to concern myself with the mechanics that don't make sense or that i don't really care abouti think that's part of the fun of the gamelike you can buy ingredients to craft food, steal/scavange from bandit camps, hunt and fish all day to stock up, or you can play the game with your single hp bar and not heal at all and forget the food system entirely if you wantjust do you lil nigga
>>736438529for some armor sets fine, but why would they fucking hide boss armor sets all over the map with no info?
what weapon did you decide on?
>all these hot girls>can't have sex with any of themWhat's the point?
>>736438865>tries to dodge the questionyou cowardly bitch lmaoYou made the claim that Starfield's MC has more personality. I am asking you to prove it. Describe his personality to me.I'll do Kliff afterfucking bitch
>>736437414Stam one seems pretty useless, because when you're regenerating stam it already regenerates so fast you're rapidly back to full. Stamina siphon is waaaaay better and only takes a single slot.Spirit is probably decent since the only alternative to regen spirit is sitting there slowly regenning in focus, and spirit siphon probably isn't worth spending a weapon slot onThe health one is probably decent if you stack it way up, but realistically you can just press F3 to gain health, so this is more if you're doing a self-imposed no food challenge
there are 800 something armor pieces in the game but only 140 available
>>736438503I think they tell you that you are chosen after you do the bullshit tasks.Then again, maybe it's that brand of asian writing in which they assume you already know you are the chosen one from a metanarrative standpoint so they streamline the whole thing. Like in movies when they show how a long time has passed with a fadeout or some scenes in which the character hammers in a single nail and then they show you a house or something.
>>736438546Oh, kiss my ass, I was comparing it to similar games within the same genre that it's obviously taking inspiration from.I'm not gonna bring up Tokio Morishima from fucking Silver Case or Caim from Drakengard just for the sake of farming hipster cred, get real.
>>736438967This is a vidya thread, no blogging about your life here
>>736438930currently using a longsword that has some base crit but thinking about crafting a halbardo that has 3 base crit but also have spent a fuckton of mats upgrading like 4 weapons to like +7 or 8 just to do about the same damage kek and might just save mats for the next time i get a sick boss weapon
What does the charm you get from the Asian Witches do? It says it does something against rain but it just tells me it has no charge and doesn't seem to actually charge up.
>>736438571The Starfield MC at least gives options on how to approach things. There aren't many, but at least you kind of get a character that way.Kliff could quite literally be a random guard NPC in any other game.
>>736438930ran around unarmed for 50 hours or something but got bored of it as it never gets any interesting upgrades. or atleast I havent found any. we spear now
>>736439213>The Starfield MC at least gives options on how to approach things. There aren't many, but at least you kind of get a character that way.great, thanks for the further deflection and cope. I win
>>736433058This game looks comfy but im too broke to spend $70+ on a game and it has Denuvo...go on without me bros.
>>736439294I think the upgrades to unarmed are slotting stuff in your gloves and boots, plus imbues. But I do wish there were unarmed "weapons". Like some kind of brass knuckles that get 5 abyss gear slots. Or some kind of bayonetta gun boots for Damiane.
>>736439346It's been getting weekly patches that improve it and address issues, you'll be playing the definitive version by the time it goes on sale.
>>736437775Each has some sort of weakness or gimmick, but so many of the ground based ones I've encountered so far have been weak to force palm for stagger. Yet to fight the dark fucker - I ran into him early, while exploring the region, and thought "oh hey, early miniboss, cool armor, this will be easy pickings" and when my uber hwando combo took like 0.5mm off his life bar, I ran
>>736439394yeah I never found any abyss skills or whatever for unarmed
>>736439057mods will fix this
>>736439394They should go the D&D route, add an amulet of mighty fists and it has 5 abyss gear "weapon" slots that apply only to unarmed attacks
this is just ridiculous
>>736439346Just pirate it
>>736439346could use the bypass if you dont use your computer for anything important
>>736438980I'm not even that anon retard
>>736439469there's two good ones, pulse from one of the black market guys and Showstopper from a super fun boss fight, don't wanna spoil it but you can look it up
>>736439583the fact that you donated 1000 pieces is whats ridiculous
>>736439613>'m not even that anon retard I just butt in and then proceed to deflect for other people
>>736434316Only complaint about the story is that it starts slow. Takes a long time until you reach a point where you have some idea about what's going on. Most reviewers never got that far.
>>736439668It's not actually 1000 at least for weapons. I donated the camp guy like 15 weapons and it said I gave him 100.
>>736439668I wanna complete these fucking quests
>>736439583those are long term goals why the hell would you ever actively go for thoseyou havent even done pailune yet and you're going for the endgame grind objectives
>>736439583Just go into a forest and unleash nature's snare, knocks down all the trees at once
>>736438808Also the bow and bow skills are in fact really really really really good contrary to appearances.
>>736439668it's not 1000 pieces, it's '1000 points' which I don't know how many it is offhand
>>736439754
can i pickpocket people without losing reputation?
>>736439751>>736439583Based and King behaviour display he is.
>>736439346>his game looks comfy but im too broke to spend $70+ on a gameCut out all the junk you think you need out of your life and you suddenly are in a position to not think about being able to buy a game for $70 that gives you joy for 60 hours minimum and 250 hours maximum and will always be there.
>>736439760Ranged weapons seem useless at first but are probably stronger than all meleeFeels like in general, the endgame is to become one of the annoying bosses. Flying around, spamming giant knockdown AOEs, abusing elements, firing off bullshit ranged attacks. All your melee moves spawn 9000 glowing orbs and earthquakes and fucking crows.
>>736439751why would you just horde shit in your chest? My bow is level 8 and 9 needs perfect lumber which I'll find eventually, and 10 requires scales which I don't haveExplain to me why the lumber should be rotting in my chest when nothing else I have uses it and I am rich beyond belief and don't need to sell it?
>>736439815no but you can gain it back by throwing coins at beggars and other ways
>>736439697You seem pretty butthurt over someone asking you to describe a character that you yourself offered to describe
>>736440083you seem pretty determined to keep bitching and whining even though you refused to prove a statement you made and instead tried to bitch out twice
fuck everything about that laser reflection puzzle in the abyss
