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
Do you guys keep at least one copy of every armour piece/weapon in your personal storage in case you want to upgrade them fully and use them later on for fashion reasons or whatever? I'm starting to think this might not be feasible to do.Also does the game actually gives you enough skill points to upgrade all 3 characters? I want to play Deminane more because Rapiers but wasn't aware she has a fully separate skill tree as well.
>>736435427>>736433606and normalfags they can call lolicons pedos and insult them that way
>>736440330I only keep unique armor and weapons or ones with abyss gears I plan on salvaging. After a few camp expansions you have a lot more storage.There's not much point in leveling up Damiane and oogabooga because you can't use them in the main story. I'll upgrade Damiane after I finish the main quest and use her for exploring and side content since she can move faster and fights faster.
>>736437216i like it like that, the mystical shit happens every once in awhile it feels rare, there isn't a gorillion mages running around throwing fireballs, but they do show it off when they're around. and i like that. feels more mystical like that way especially because the sieges and battles are just well people duking it out, same with the mythical creatures like the harpy queen, its rare. same with the witches they're all babes as they should be, they're witches. tech is around but apparently the dwarves in the desert are hoarding it and larping as helm wearing sandpeople. or that one place>>736437259very refreshing.>the bad guy is actually the bad guy. the raging bear man is actually just a raging bear man. the goblins are just the merchants, the trolls run the banks, the orcs do allot of farming, the traitor of a neighbouring state is actually just a traitor.
have blue pearl commented on the disturbing lack of pawgs in this game?
you know what? This guy was actually pretty hard. I used two of my golden Palmers on him so I guess I didn't beat the game>witch quest last fight spoilers
best gamecant even sleep because I want to play morefuck you life
>That dude who yanks you through time while you're viewing a memory of himHoly fucking kino
>>736440163>still can't describe the "character"
How the fuck are you meant to organically find Bari, the Witch of Kindness besides just randomly stumbling upon her? I have looked everywhere on the internet for like 30 minutes and no one seems to have any clue, except that one guy said that you have to "do a good deed in Pailune" which I can't find anything about elsewhere.Is there anyone who somehow got a quest to find her, or did everyone just look up her location/randomly stumble upon her?
>>736440920you lost, it's over bye
>Left a gold bar in bank>Forgot about it>Went to check up on it almost a month of in-game time later>At some point it had bugged out and all of the money in the strongbox had just disappeared even though the investment log says that there should be some money in therelame

>>736441026I just looked it up, same for the 2nd and 3rd elements. When it comes to game features I don't really have an issue looking it up, and it's hidden for those that insist. I'm glad I did because there is zero breadcrumb to them as of near the end of the game
>>736439583I wonder if you can cheese this with camp resources.
Reminder to sell your excess food. Guard missions are a meme
>>736441026I think you save her on a bridge near beighen
>>736441316Is there a way to make turn camp money into my money?
>generic medieval fantasy>suddenly find a secret cultivation manual explaining a hidden game mechanic
>>736441165That has been fixed i think
>>736441316how much is 'excess', got 400k atm but not sure what need of it I'll have coming up
>>736441382Yes
>>736441398Apparently not
>>736441472Is this always unlocked or do I need to do something to get it?
What's the secret sauce? That's it's not your typical Asianslop rpg?
>>736441545Its koreas skyrim/rdr2 hybrid
>>736441545That the world is fuckhuge and fun to explore. Might be the biggest video game map since Just Cause 2, except JC2 was super empty.
>>736441520he meant going forward
>>736441527All you need to do to unlock dispatches is explore the world and find the locations they exist in. A few will have research requirements. This one needed the boss in the area defeated first.
>>736441361The bridge one is Lyselia, The Witch of Humility. I found her as my 2nd witch and I just assumed that the game would do these kinds of events for all witches, so I kept waiting and waiting until I found out that Bari is actually meant to be the 2nd witch, but I had already cleared everything in Pailune and left, and missed her because she's not tied to any quest, NPC, POI, etc.
>>736441616And what's in this game to explore or interact with? What are your favs?
REALLY wish you could salvage upgraded weapons and get back like half of the mats you invested into them
>>736441672Thank you.
>>736441316where did you sell those, anon? Hernan, the Goldleaf camp?
>>736441768There's Talso Principle/BotW inspired puzzles, optional bossfights of various quality, and random hidden caves to find. All of these reward you with worthwhile equipment. It's also super pretty.
>>736441776Get back to the bloodstone mines, little cucky
>>736441768Giant snake god chilling on an island while a small army fires magic at him. Giant boars being ridden by giant trolls in a rainforest. A huge canyon that I fell into
>>736441545It is a homage to games like Morrowind and Gothic 2. Janky but fun to explore and no other developer in the past 10 years made something evoking the same feeling. Crimson Desert will be the Skyrim (but better) of the next generations.
>>736441316Nigga the economy shit is wild. How are you making that much, just going from hernand to demeniss with a cart full of kid shit?
>>736441026I stumbled upon her when going to a marked mine, I think it was a gold mine?, and she happened to be in between where I was and the mine. I almost missed her.You get the map for the mines from beating excavatron though, and the quarry quest is very early and easy to trigger, so it's not impossible to randomly find her.
>>736441192>cant even post the normalnigger gif properly
>>736441897Demeniss. For food find the eastern church and explore around the area. Switch to faction view and you can see which PoI's have the trade icon. You can find some that buy armaments,timber,food,and stone.
>>736433058What the fuck? Everyone convinced me this shit is supposed to go DOWN, not up.
>>736442051wtf and i can't even play right now, add +1 to that because i will be playing soon
>>736434123How is money a problem? I started with the single gold bar from Lionscrest, and now I have like 4k silver rotting away in the bank, and around 1k in my inventory just from selling garbage. You can save scum the bank payout to some degree. I have more money than I know what to do with, because there's really no money sink. All new weapon/armor merchants I find I can buy out immediately, and there's so few of them that by the time I find the next one, my wealth has regenerated and then some.
>>736441983>so it's not impossible to randomly find her.Not impossible, but very very hard, considering that she's a tiny target that's sitting down inside what looks like a completely abandoned tent that might as well just be map decoration.It also doesn't help that if you encounter her during the night, when there's rain, when there's snow, if you are on the wrong side of the cliff, etc. you will likely not even see her. It's kinda crazy that they don't just have some kind of quests that guarantee that you find them, especially considering that they are tied to the fucking Sanctum system.
>>736442051..xisters....i think...we lost....its over...
>>736441997https://tenor.com/view/pillowdear-embed-fail-gif-9227076437893222554
>>736442051Deserved, the game has actually gotten better since launch.
>>736442120A bunch of the game was clearly designed around people sharing what they found online/with friends. If you don't have the pirate hat on you probably wouldn't find 90% of the hidden chests.
>>736439346 if you cant even buy it means you cant even run it
>>736441545>That's it's not your typical Asianslop rpg?What everyone else said but this too. In most asian games you can grind levels to beat anything, but grinding in this game mostly gives you more techniques. Gear differences are ultimately mostly cosmetic, and leveling the basic attributes won't help you much trying to beat a hard boss. Also unlike many asian RPGs, the generic encounters are fast and fun while the setpiece fights are about thinking outside the box rather than just whittling down a bigger HP bar.The most asian thing about the game is the story. It's a jianghu story in a medieval WRPG setting. All the strongest beings are basically immortals. The main factions behind the scenes are competing sects ("cloisters") with dueling philosophies about cultivating power.
>>736442223wait what are you talking about when it comes to pirate hat?
>>736442051Even with the combined strength of judeo-corpo defamation campaign a strong horse remain a strong horse.
>>736442303Watch the feather in the webm after the chest is opened and the item gets looted.
>>736442223I mean you can kinda see the outline of the turnable wall and Force Palm is how you interact with 90% of objects.
>>736442303>wait what are you talking about when it comes to pirate hat?this is why this game is the shit, it feels like a game made in the 90s where they didn't give a fuck if you saw or did shit in the game
>>736442303the pirate hat's feathers glow when there's treasure nearby. very piratey.
>>736442051what's truly staggering is this being a divisive singleplayer game you'd expect a sizeable number of players to just bounce yet here they are. hell, it even peaked a new an all-time concurrent a week after release.
>>736442223>A bunch of the game was clearly designed around people sharing what they found online/with friendsSure, but this is the first time in my ~200 hours that I have actually felt like I was missing something really fundamental, because I was unable to upgrade attack speed abyss gear the entire time. I just kept thinking that surely the game would guide me towards her at some point.
>>736441916>tfw about to commit to back-breaking labor mining several raw minerals to do exactly the same damage with a cooler looking weapon
>>736435840Fuck korean devs
>>736442416this except it's why the game is good, zoomie.
>>736437342There is a notification but it usually gets eaten by other notifications
>>736442430I imagine that a large portion of the people who shit on it have never played it.
>>736442443Maybe there's some random side mission that brings you to her. I noticed that happen quite a few times for puzzles in Hernand.
>>736436318Me too, preferably nude
>>736442051marathon trannies and ign redditors is not everyone
>>736437190Are yours strong enough for Pailune or Demenis?
>>736437342Nope. Pic related is the moment I got fire. After unlocking lightning without even realizing for hours I kept checking my element bar after every single abyss puzzle.
Found some ice spear bitch that was oneshotting me until I managed to stunlock it.What Im suppossed to do when bosses enter their blue shield invulnerable mode? Blind them, force palm or just run the fuck away?
>>736442430If there's one thing an MMO dev can do, it's player retention.The game is addicting, I won't lie. The varied aspects of the game make it easy to play for long periods and keep coming back. Just when you've had your fill of exploring there's a big action segment, once you're tired of slaughtering mooks you get to fight a cool boss, once you're through with combat there's the entire abyss sitting there. Oh and I just have to check one more thing in camp, just craft this one last thing, might as well check that waterfall while I'm here, oh the research is done... yeah
>>736442476He wrote "the shit", not "shit".
Ngl sieges kinda suck. They took obvious inspiration from the Middle Earth Shadow of War sieges, except they cut out all the good parts. In Shadow of War, you could command your troops and if you entered a stronghold (which you could sabotage in advance) there'd be multiple points that you had to capture. Just having there be an enemy meter that you need to deplete is insanely boring and takes forever and troops just stand around and don't do anything once you've defeat nearby enemies.
>>736442513>Maybe there's some random side mission that brings you to herThere doesn't seem to be. I have searched everywhere and can't find anything, both in the game itself and on youtube/reddit/Steam. I found ONE comment of a guy saying that you need to "do a good deed" in Pailune but I literally went through the entire city multiple times and couldn't find anything.I also looked through the datamine/database sites and the sites that have interactive maps and couldn't find anything there either.
>>736437408Civilian disguise?
>>736441026I found her by accident when I first got to Pailune. Just wanted to see what the broken bridge was about. It also shows a big quest area marker on the minimap when you get close to a hidden witch.
If this game is able to get big mod support it could take over Skyrim.
>>736442659They need to add some way to command troops so we can have kino mount & blade gameplay in calphade-like battlefields
>>736442587They can do missions there yeah, although I've never used them to fight so idk how they would do in that regard
>>736442476try reading that sentence again, retard. I'd tell you to get your glasses, but I'm likely older than you and don't need themretard
I still don't know what this game is supposed to be, Korean Skyrim?
>>736438928What part of "exploration" confuses you, anon? It's to get you out there into the world.
>>736442697The higher ups don't seem to want to expose their engine. They're probably worried about future games MTX earnings or some shit.
>>736442697It already has some modding support. The big roadblock would be modding the binary since it has denuvo. But there's already been mods that essentially jack into the game after it's already started to bypass that.
>>736437408>Bro not using cape you get from the shop near the castle you save from siegeEither that or one of the three you get from contribution shop in Hernand
>>736439060>I think they tell you that you are chosen after you do the bullshit tasks.I'm the chose because I help people, and sometimes kill/rob them too
>>736442423Goddamn
>find a room full of gold bars>not a single one I can pick up?????????????????
>>736442806That doesn't mean that much, shit modding support has never stopped passionate modders before. Total War Medieval 2 for example has HORRIBLE modding support yet a ton of really fleshed out mods. Might take a while though, it took modders 6 years to add custom sounds to Total Warhammer 3.
>>736438430It keeps arachnopohobes out of your game
>>736442779It's a weird mix of every game that was popular in the past decade, all its elements kind of suck, it looks generic as hell, has the most boring quest design in recent memory, is filled with half-baked systems that are bafflingly poorly implemented, drags its feet for dozens of hours before unlocking what should be basic features, outright forgets to teach you game mechanics or teaches you wrong (as a joke), has frustratingly unintuitive or tiresome puzzles at times, which will always give you completely worthless rewards, and the story is complete gibberish where things just sort of happen with no rhyme or reason or even justification unto themselves. But despite all that, it's weirdly addicting to play.
>>736438224>>736438420Still have yet to see you people post a single memorable character in Crimson Desert.
>>736442719hey fuck you, direct your anger at the faggots who seethe in these threads so often that it made me speedread assume he was a buckbroken haterfriendly fire happens sometimes desu, Crimson Desert chads can forgive.
>>736442997Yeah, if the game is good then modders will come. Starfield proved this by proving the inverse. Ideal engine for modding, game sucks, nobody bothered.
>>736442991The game will allow you to aim at and pick up individual coins placed on a piece of furniture, but the pile of pirate's treasure you just found, hills of gold coins and stacks of gold bars? Nah, fuck you. You can pick up this gilded carafe, that's your reward, faggot.
>>736442991made me mad too
>>736442779An open world action RPG. I guess it plays most like the Assassin's Creed games (the post Origins ones, not the ones from when it was still pretending to be about stealth and parkour), if they had good combat. Which is still a bit reductive but it gets most of the way there. It takes pieces from just about every major open world action game of the past 15 years.
>>736443065Aeserion
>>736443065The only one remotely memorable is Yann. And he's memorable for all the wrong reasons, namely being an annoying cunt with some of the hands down worst fucking quests in the game.
>>736443078>Crimson Desert chads can forgive.damn, okay
>>736442991>Find a cave full of bars and goldsand>Can't get rich out if it
>>736442779It's like a weird mix of The Witcher 3, RDR2, MGSV, BDO, BotW, but with a strange korean touch to everything, and a bit of charming jank. The writing is all over the place, the combat can be you spamming 1 ability over and over or you can be doing 10 different combos, the puzzles are really fucking weird sometimes, most bosses are complete pushovers but then you find one that's more Souls-like here and there.On the surface it sounds like a horrible amalgamation but once you play it for a while, it's actually very entertaining despite all its flaws.
>>736442017I see the farm near the S on the map does food, was stone also in that zone?
>>736442779rdr2+ac valhalla
>>736442601what the fuck? I tried force palning those. You just have to keep hitting them?
>>736442601>>736443418You can fucking palm these to solve the puzzle? That's hilarious. You're meant to stab the thing in the middle and turn it to move the pillars up/down.
>half the game is walkie-talkie cutscene slopthis game will have very little modding, this sort of game is simply not suited for itif you're hoping for skyrim or even obshittion level modding you'll be disappointed
>>736443272>The writing is all over the placeSome of the random ass letters and notes have strangely touching, eloquent and poignant wording. It's like a fever dream, just like the rest of the game.
>>736443031That's a really uncharitable description. For how many left field submechanics it has, they are all surprisingly well fleshed out and implemented. Most of the puzzles are surprisingly good and respect the players intelligence more than most modern games do. The world is gorgeous. And the story is quite entertaining, if a bit episodic.
How do I learn how to Spiderman? Did I miss it or what?

>>736443513why would anyone expect bethesda modding? their games are entirely reliant on other people fixing their shit
>>736443515I enjoy that every single zanzibart character mentioned in random item lore and background information is a real person in the world, the place they lived is a real place you can find, they're probably a boss as well, and you can likely kill them and loot their underpants too.

>>736443341>StoneNow that I'm looking I'm not sure where you sell stone. Lumber can go to Hidden grove ranch and armaments to Volwork Armory.
>>736443723Looking by faction I can see all the trade icons on the map and a few are in areas I cleared but are clearly locked by quests so I'll check later.I also don't wanna sell too much since the skill point mission is like 30k of each
>>736443705The game has a wait function for certain quests, they need add a "skip Yann's dialogue and fast travel to the destination" function.
>>736443705The writers did an amazing job with Yann. You truly feel like he's such an annoying asshole.
>>736443515I gotta be honest, getting Jian's journal at the end of chapter 7 and finally getting a somewhat comprehensive overview on what the actual relationships between these countries did a lot to actually clarify things.
>Court of Precision
>>736443794Don't forget that you can donate to the church to increase your returns from dispatches in those areas. If you're doing all your resource gathering dispatches in Demeniss it's probably worth investing in.
>>73644385430 hours later...
You can't actually acquire it at arboria castle. Bug or cut content?
>>736443537Uncharitable maybe, but is it wrong? Sure, the subsystems are fleshed out, sometimes, but are they good? Do they interlink sensibly with other systems? Can I use the camp job system to assign people to drive the trade cart from my camp cart garage, selling the trade goods I need to give to my camp requisition officer anyway? Does the dynamic market system that determines the prices of goods interface in any way with the bank's investment system to allow me to invest in specific goods? They're all just islands, hacked together because someone somewhere thought they sounded neat, but with no rhyme or reason, and no connection to any of the other systems, no matter how obvious those connections are at even a cursory inspection.The puzzles are... okay. Some are better than others, a couple just rely on brute force and memorization over actual thought (the repeated pillar height adjustment puzzle comes to mind), some just waste your time to act out a trivially obvious solution (the statue garden puzzle), some are outright arrogant in what they demand (the "hunt down the murals" puzzle), and the rewards are universally shit, making the effort barely worth it.The world is gorgeous, but bland as fuck. Good graphics don't really paper over art direction and design. I've seen too many rolling hills, cliffs, and mixed forests in other games to be impressed. The geometric aesthetics of the Abyss are a little better, but also nothing new (specific example: Remnant and Remnant 2, from which the idea of "futuristic floating world between worlds with a geometric/cubist grey aesthetic" seems almost directly lifted).
>>736444001The game has the worst pacing I've ever seen in my entire life. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking with half the quests. And I say that as someone who likes it a lot (mostly).
>>736439187the necklace i think clears the weather, so if it's raining or cloudy it makes clear sky, has 2 or something in game hours cooldownand when you boot the game cooldowns are always at the beginning, it doesn't recharge when you are not playing, so you will have to waiti just completed that quest myself
>>736444295Mine specifically must be bugged then. It's been stuck at 80% charge for like 10 hours of playtime now.
>>736433058Why did they change the hernand banker's voice?
>>736444001Yeah, I dunno, man.But I am pretty sure that Chapter 5, which has you go to Demeniss when it's still hostile territory, establishes a bunch of stuff it won't circle back to until two chapters later and locks out Damiane for a while was probably meant to come after what's now Chapter 7 originally and probably wasn't moved to Chapter 5 until very shortly before release. Its placement in the story is so... arbitrary.
RIP piggy bank. You will be missed.
>>736444381Giving you Damiane, only to have her leave a chapter later, not to return for the next five chapters, is a move so retarded, I refuse to believe it was thought up by a human.
>>736442779It's a huge culture shock that's for sure."What if a Grizzly Western Mercenary Leader Was Suddenly the Power Fantasy Protagonist With Overpowered Cheat Powers" is best I can come up with.
Yann in a gif
>>736444368Maybe it only charges during the rain?
>>736443854I forget where I read it but apparently in the past, Hernand was once a kingdom but reverted to the status of a duchy under Demenissian pressure. So the whole scheme to subjugate Hernand was a repeat of historical attempts. And the "alliance" between the two countries was therefore more of a protectorate. Which explains how the invasion wasn't just some act of perfidy where they backstabbed Hernand, but more like a way to convert hegemony into outright annexation.The setting is very well thought-out and interconnected, but all the information that tells you so is obscure background text you find 90 hours in. I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that they backloaded it so much
>>736440891SOVL
>>736444190>and the rewards are universally shit, making the effort barely worth it.They should really patch in better rewards especially when some of the best armors in the game are just you checking behind every waterfall you come across.
>>736444534That might be it actually.
>>736444483I think at some point late in development, they decided you should be able to try out Damiane early. So they shoehorned her in at like chapter 3 but with next to no storyline. Even in the first cutscene where she appears, she has no voice lines. Her story pretty much only begins as soon as she fucks off.
>>736444596There's no such thing as "best armor in the game" Your first plate set bought from a vendor can be upgraded to have the same amount of armor as boss plate
I missed the Skull Knight boss fight by clearing the ice spire before meeting him
The abyss is a representation of rationality and logic. It's made out of mathematical geometry, which is classical platonism. The islands themselves carry pieces of the local culture around, or pieces of certain ideas such as anger and resentment in the crow nest's case. This is the ratonal thought. The idea. There is logic there, but it's chaotic. Logic itself is represented by semiconductor technology, the electricity that powers it, cold blue. A machine-like, uncaring and cold logic, useless without guidance.Rational thought when applied without limit ends up being evil. Logic without underlying philosophy is meaningless. In order to clear the game, you must come to terms with THE REALITY, which is that fate trumps all. Logic, rationality, philosophy must kneel in front of the one true god. And that god is belevolent, good, and caring. For the world is fated to not fall into ruin by those who follow a sinful way of living, but to be saved by the one who does good by his fellow man.

>>736444705Technically, there's certain plate armors that have more armor than anything else, but overall it's pretty negligible, and then there's also the "BiS" combinations of certain gear that will get you to 15 attack speed, 15 crit, 15 movement speed, and then perhaps whatever resistance you need at the moment.

>>736444954Fire and Ice one is in Pailune.
Did some quick testing after maxing pic related. It took about 400k to max out the one in Hernand from level 30 ish. I'm guessing it's around 500k to max it out from 0-100. Excess donations don't seem to do anything.
