I'm playing modded single player and I'm building my own personal haremNo other game allows me to do this
>>737839092Slavery isn't cool. You don't belong here
I've never played exiles but its just capturing slaves and putting them to work, right? That sounds kinda dull for a harem.
Is this game any good?
>>737840867No, it has slavery
>>737840978Ok then what should I play instead?
>>737839092go play mad island.
>>737840396You can have them accompany you on adventures, but one of the most popular mods is the one that lets you pose and place them where you want, and it also lets you sex them
>>737841043You can play Ark survival evolved. It has dinosaurs instead of slaves
>>737840867If you like exploring a wast, dangerous world, building massive castles and temples, and enslaving the people you come across, then yes
>>737840867Ill give you the quick rundown.>story is very good, but its kinda like dark souls where its environmental story telling, journal entries, item descriptions, theres some NPC dialog too but most NPCs are hostile like souls>not a lot of quests or dialog directly from NPCs but there is some, the quests imo are pretty good other than the fact that they dont always give much direction and it can be easy to miss stuff because the world is big and things are hidden, but its more direction than say a souls game.>its primarily an open world survival RPG designed for multiplayer but its valid as a single player game too just for the exploration and lore>has top tier exploration for an online open world game>has no level scaling, very good progression and power scaling>stat system is actually very well done and i wish elder scrolls went this route instead of skyrim route>combat is kinda like souls but more like demons souls, the bosses attacks are very easy to dodge or block, but they can be dangerous if you are low level and get hit.>Some of the bosses have absolute baby tier mechanics, the game is mostly made for casuals, but combat can still feel engaging because enemies can be dangerous.The game is getting a massive free update 7 days from now.
>>737841573Can I enslave them into happy fulfilling lives?>>737841737Cheers anon. Sounds cool. The steam page says "build your home into a kingdom" so is there some kind of town/city management system? Is any of the DLC worth the price?
>page 9Told you you don't belong here. Fuck off bitch
Let me show you something
Lmao this site is a joke
>>737844541yep
my most played game of 2025. I really love the setting. modded the shit out of it too
>>737839092I'm getting filtered by the giant crocodiles but still having a good time.
The update trailer has me worried, since the new lighting seems to just slap an early morning/late evening yellow across all biomes. It wasn't perfect (jungle being green and constantly raining, the Forgotten City was forever red), but when it worked you could see the Frazetta painting coming to life (the Mounds perfectly fit Howard's poem of Cimmeria, the glacier's icy blue matched the lethal cold). It's nice that they somehow crammed 120gigs into 40, but I know it will run like complete ass and be an even buggier mess. I hate that what is possibly the best Conan game is stuck in the hands of the perpetually dreaming, yet depressingly incompetent funcom.
>>737842071The DLC is all different cosmetic stuff for building, so if you like any of those, then go for it. They also have more dlc items that used to be on the battlepass in what they call the "bazaar", some of that's worth it too when you find it.
>>737846091I've heard people that were in the beta trying to skirt the NDA (so not saying too much) saying that it actually performed really well. Still, the only reason I'm even considering possibly reinstalling next week is because of them getting the install size down.Guarantee you the entire reason they're able to get EL and Siptah together and having mutiple characters per save is entirely due to their partnership with Inflexion and basically just cannibalizing the shit they came up with for Nightingale.
>>737846869>I've heard people that were in the beta trying to skirt the NDA (so not saying too much) saying that it actually performed really well.I'll believe it if I see it, but if it's true I'll have a bowl of gruel. UE5 games and the devs that use them have a horrendous track record of just relying on features and letting hardware pick up the slack (i.e. lumen lighting and nanite lods).
>>737846091I just hope it doesn't break my mods
>>737850480We all have black friends. Let this stupid pro-slavery thread die.
>>737839092>murder, slavery, abuse, turture, crucifixions necrophagiahey, alright>no sex or rapehard pass
>>737850852There is literally a sex and rape mod on the steam workshop
>>737850852You can make everyone nude and there's also dev approved mods. They just couldn't add it to the base game or it'd be AO
>>737839092Did they remaster it yet? I heard something about that.
>>737842071if you get the PC version and have a PC that will be able to run the UE5 update then you will want the "isle of siptah" DLC because it adds another island you will be able to go in between freely. All other DLC are basically just cosmetics.You can make buildings and tell NPCs to work at station etc but its mostly preformative in the way that your best NPC bonus are applied to any relevant stations in your base as long as they are somewhere there, but they will move around your base and work at stations for RP reasons. You can also have it set up so enemy NPCs will raid your base.
>>737839092Amen.
>>737839604All the people you salivate over are doing it IRL, loser, so you have no arguement.
>>737839092Same I've played about 500 hours just autistically building a huge village protected by big walls and building castles and forts around it and filling it up with topless babes. Really fun game
>>737850702I'm slavery and I approve blacks.
>>737853921Yes. You have to go into the far north of the map, near that one village, because it's the only one with a guaranteed female warrior spawn who's actually really good at combat. Then you can transmog them into a billion 'different' women...
I have this game in my Steam library but never touched it. There’s a big UE5 update coming in like a week that shrinks the game size down to like 40gb instead of over 100gb. I’ll give it a try then. Anything I should know?
>>737854149Really? I was expecting the 'update' to add 750 gb.
>>737854189>Conan Exiles Enhanced, arriving on May 5, 2026, will dramatically reduce the game's file size to approximately 40 GB
>>737854135You know where that big aqueduct in the north breaks and forms a lake? That's where I chose to make my village/kingdom. That big valley right next to and under the aqueduct i walled off and made my village and built a big black ice castle on one of the hills overlooking it
What happens if your PC can't run the enhanced version of this game? An update just bricks your game you bought and played for years?
>>737853921They made CE to be a pvp survival sandbox, but the combat was too jank and the hackers ubiquitous. Instead the game shines as a singleplayer survival sandbox rpg that lets you build whatever the hell you want with optional co-op.>>737854149>Anything I should know?Go north to the Mounds and kill cimmerians, loot their starmetal weapons, then dismantle them at a dismantling bench. Congratulations, you are a caveman who has gone from stone and bone to Damascan steel. The Exiled Lands are now your oyster.
>>737854380Legacy client will exist separately, so anyone who can't run the update can still play the old version. However, funcom's saying it will only get maintenance updates and none of the future content.
>>737854380apparently the update is both a visual remaster and an optimization patchso even a toaster will be able to run it
>>737854612>>737854616Is the update for ps5 too?
>>737854612>maintenance updates and none of the future content.That's fine by me really, I didn't see anything about legacy clients in the announcement on steam though.>>737854616That's impressive if true.
>>737854545That looks neat
>>737854769>Is the update for ps5 too?Sorry, anon. If there's anyone funcom hates more than pc gamers, it's console, so no port.>>737854785>That's impressive if true.I sincerely doubt they pulled it off. Funcom never delivers anything that isn't half-baked.
is the game worth it if I don't like pvp?
>>737855097Its best played as single player
>>737855097if you like survival sandbox games (that you can adjust to be as hard or easy as you like) with awkward combat but a damn good base-building system and pokemon, then you'll like conan exiles. If you don't care about building fancy bases and only care about exploring and combat, then it will be really disappointing.
>>737854149do the journeys/tutorials. The rewards are very good, like unlocking recipes. Also if you see a weapon/tool in the world you can often pick them up despite there being no yellow paint type video game notification.
can I play as an ugly midget sorcerer who uses his sex slaves to do all the fighting for him?
>>737855379yeah there is sorcery but its mostly transmutation and summoning demons. Actually the corrupted stats thing you do with sorcery can be good for a minion type playstyle too. There isnt any fireball type offensive magic though other than 1 storm spell that got nerfed so hard its literally useless.
>>737855379>uglyYes, but you'll need to work with the sliders, otherwise the game defaults to chiseled chad.>midgetNo.>sorcererYes, but it's mostly utility.
>>737855203>>737855364thank you, I'll try it thenI just thought its primary focus was pvp, kinda like Rust
>>737855513>There isnt any fireball type offensive magic though other than 1 storm spell that got nerfed so hard its literally useless.I wish they reworked alchemy to compensate the lack of purely offensive sorcery while still being thematic. Demonfire orbs are borderline useless, and gas orbs are clunky. Both are too damn heavy.>>737855564>I just thought its primary focus was pvp, kinda like RustThat was the original pitch and what the entire game was built for, but ironically the window dressing proved way more compelling and has since taken over the game.
>>737855934gas is pretty OP for regular PvE though. wear a gas mask and hold up a shield in a gas cloud and you can AoE down human NPcs pretty easy, if you dont have the block perk you will die from unblockable attacks though when fighting high lvl thralls.Both the fatal gas and KO gas are really OP this way. demon fire orbs I have only used for quick star metal farming though.
I gave up on CE a good while ago after being fed up with Funcom's retardation.I still may reinstall it though. I just hope that multigun has his javelin mod and pythagoras updated for it.
>>737856219Sandstone + Nemedian is a good building material pairing.
>>737841249Slaves are much more realistic and immersive than dinosaurs.It's fun to exert power on others.
>>737845148Ah yes, I remembered them as tough. But they are not nearly as hard to kill as any Elden Ring Boss.
>Why yes, I recruit my companions by rescuing them from enemy camps or hiring them at a tavern. Anything else would be barbaric.
>>737850702All my slaves in CE are black for historical reasons and easy identification.
>>737857098I'm rather partial to it (the second tier stonebrick is best), courtyards as well.
>>737857257After making that post I went and finally killed one at Priestking's Retreat with a named char fighter as backup.
>>737840867It's quite mid, probably one of the more mediocre survival crafting slop I have played, but if you are into base building autism it is okay.
>>737857404You cannot get like, anyone useful that way.There's two? Crafters that way.
>>737855513>>737855553can you be a non-combat character who just stands back and cackles while your slaves fight for you or is their ai too shit for that?
No other game fulfils my need for brown oiled up musclegirls like CE does
>>737859036YES. THIS IS THE WAY.
>>737858817I haven't played it in a couple years but from what I remember they don't usually hold up against bosses but for all other content and exploration you could do that.I'll probably give a concept like that a try when the new update drops though.
>>737859036This. I also love to give them muscular hung cocks. True amazonians rape beasts they are...Bless the modders. BY THE WAY IF YOU GIVE YOUR HORSES (PUT IN INVENTORY) THE GROWTH DRUG, THEY LITERALLY GROW AN ERECT HORSE COCK
>>737855379>>737858817Yes with mods.QoL mod allows you to be midget.You can do sorcery in vanilla, but it's not an aggressive magic system like in other games.You can have sex with your slaves with the Devious Desires mod.There's another mod I can't remember that lets you have more than 2 followers at a time.
>>737840396you can play it as a survival craft-em-up base builder and fill your base with kidnapped slaves, or you can go out on Conan adventures and beat up things for sick loot
>>737857404>I recruit my companions by rescuing them from enemy camps or hiring them at a tavernyou can do that?
>>737858817If you go down the full follower talent tree and trick out your follower in endgame gear he'll be able to solo basically anything in the game, but you can't really have a posse of NPCs to travel along with you. You can get one follower-thrall (or pet, since you can tame animals the same way) to adventure with you at a time. There's a talent to increase this number to two, but you have to pick that *instead* of the one that dramatically increases their stats, so it ends up being worse if your goal is to rely on your follower. It's better to have one super beefy guy to smash everything for you.There's no limit to how many followers you can have at your bases, and there's a fairly gimmicky mechanic to spawn enemies to beseige your base, so you can see your followers in action there, but that's pretty much it. The vast majority of your thralls will be crafters or guards back at your base, while you take 1-2 of them along with you on adventures.
>>737860648>you can't really have a posse of NPCs to travel along with youthere's a mod for that
>>737860452You can, but as the other Anon mentioned, it's not a realistic way to play the game. I was mostly just joking. It's far, far easier to gain followers by just bonking NPCs on the head and dragging them back to your base. I think with the surge events in Siptah you might be able to get max-tier NPCs of most professions? But I'm not sure if you can get all of them, so maxing out your crafting stuff at your base might not be possible in a true pacifist run.
I spent most of my Covid lockdown playing Conan on a low population server that's been around for years and no wipe. It was an odd but comfortable experience. You would travel around the map and see these giant player made bases that are populated with slaves but players were rarely present. One clan successfully built a giant wall across an area that prevented low level players from crossing without going on some giant detour where you had to climb a mountain cliff. I remember getting overly attached to my starter home near Freshrender Falls so every morning I would make a trek on my horse to mine for materials in the snow region, then travel back down home once I was full. It was a very therapeutic experience. The base world itself was still amazing though. Every new cave or area felt like I was going on a new episodic adventure. I still remember the one time I fought my way through some sort of spider cave and ended up falling down a hole in an arena, only to be greated by some sort of scorpion hybrid.
>>737861593I know exactly the cave you're talking about lol. There's a ton of weird, out-of-the-way content that encourages you to just wander around poking your head into things. I remember on my first playthrough I saw a trail leading up a mountain in the hinterlands region and decided to follow it. I didn't have any resistance to cold weather so I started dying as I went up, but as my health got low I saw a fire up in a little nook at the top of the mountain. When I got there I recovered, and there was a frost giant NPC standing there who taught me the Nordheimer religion.
>>737860738yep. to get the best crafters you got to invade camps etc, kill a bunch of people and drag the correct captive back to your wheel of woe.
>>737862053It's fun. I wish my friends would be into it but they stick their nose up. They loved Enshrouded but won't give Conan a try.
But will they fix the god awful animations and fighting?Also, you can do all of those things in Skyrim with mods.
>>737862831Skyrim is a boring setting though. But to entertain your comment, what mods for Skyrim would you recommend to have the thrall system from CE? And I don't mean some janky thing where you point your cursor at an NPC and a mod makes it join your "party" I mean something like CE has where the thralls are their own minigame and provide various buffs in your base and defend your base from semi dynamic large scale attacks.
>>7378606482 guys is more DPS than 1. the problem is they typically have less HP but thats not a big deal at endgame when u get endgame followers and gear. the buffing up of the 1 guy is really good for starting out as animals scale really hard with the stat bonuses you get as well as the darfari who level up fast.also you can have like 3-4 zombies at a time
>>737839092Conan Exiles Enhanced soon bros.I'm so excited to destroy people's shit again
>>737841174I can already do that in skyrimwhat does conan sexiles offer me over modded skyrim?
>>737857985It's better than any other pvp survival craft out there, even that piece of shit ark, old rust was kino though until they removed the zombies and gave everyone helicopters and other stupid shit
>>737841174Can I play as a twink or a shota? I don't like playing as characters that are more masculine than me it makes me feel angry.
>>737862767Enshrouded is pretty fucking boring, I prefer Conan. Enshrouded does have nice base building but the player character is an ugly bobblehead and the world is pretty disinteresting.
>>737860452there are cages around the map with a jailor so you can kill the jailor and get the key to save the guy in there and he will always try and join you, it can be just about any thrall, it can have a long respawn though os you dont just keep doing the same one. Also you can opt in to be invaded by some guys and if you beat them you go to their camp and can free the slaves(thralls) they have and they will join you, which gives the best followers in the game but its a little harder and rng.Also you can just buy a few different types of followers from pirates.you can also hatch animals out of eggs or raise the babies to make followers and these can be decent for much of the game if you have the "well trained" perk.
>>737839092The fact that this janky shit is like the 3rd best survival game proves this genre is shitty
>>737841174That pose mod is really fucking cumbersome to use. Then again primal instinct isnt that much better than this. Sex mods just fucking suck in this game compared to skyrim.
Hopefully with the enhanced version and apparent QoL improvements and performance upgrades (allegedly), maybe server owners will increase the typical building limit from 7500/10000 to even higher.
>>737839092>No other game allows me to do thisRimworld is quite literally far superior for this exact purpose, Invisible Strain is also good for this if you want a twd sim. Probably Elin too. Conan thralls are pretty shit, have no personalities and very little interactions with the player.
>>737865651>the world is pretty disinterestingThis is it for a lot of games. Staying power comes from an interesting IP, it doesn't need a pre-existing fanbase but it needs to be an interesting enough property that people keep wanting to come to it and talk about it.Every game that has developers that think all you need to do is "make a good game" will have a harder time or outright fail because people aren't really interested in just playing with toys, they want to have a shared experience with others who all like the same "fiction" and the game is just an overlay to give an excuse to engage with that shared fiction.Conan Exiles has worse base building than Enshrouded but Enshrouded is too generic to matter long term and every NPC in its game is aggressively bland.
>>737865976>3rd best survival gamewhat's the other two?
Alright, I'll get the game if it has a huge discount when the new update drops.
>>737839092Is there a qrd on how to do this? Is it complicated?
any must have mods or should i run through solo modless?
If I played this game again, I'd have to get mods to make a chick with really big tits.
are there dungeons and stuff to run if you play solo?
I wish we had mod Stygian-style building pieces. I spent hours building the cool Egyptian-looking tower for my Stygian sorceress and it never looked Egyptian enough, just merely pseudo-Arabic. I guess you can now buy the "Pyramid set" in the online shop, but it'a both super-expensive and rotational so I always miss it.
>>737868139Yes, a bunch of them. https://conanexiles.fandom.com/wiki/DungeonsThe biggest problem is that most bosses are just damage sponges without any meaningful mechanics.
>>737865479a fun good game and an interesting setting
>>737868430So what can I run in with a bunch of my guys and do a pseudo raid playing solo?
>>737868684Yes.
>>737868709Hmm, might pick it up if it goes on sale for a couple of bucks then
>>737842071>is there some kind of town/city management system?No, the game is meant for a multiplayer player-driven world where player guilds build castles and other elaborate structures, claim territories etc but it's all RP. The NPCs are tools, they can be your followers, you can make them into guards, some NPC types give unique buffs to crafting stations. They will walk around your settlement and man the crafting stations and go to eat and sleep, but that's it.I loved it and have well over 150+ hours in solo play. Waiting for the may 5th enhanced version free patch that ports the game to unreal engine 5, improves optimization and reduces file size to 40gb (from something like 120gb)
>>737868047The update will probably shake up modlists a little bit, although Funcom has indicated that they've made the devkit available for major modders so we'll see how many break. My modlist/settings (mostly copy/pasted from an earlier thread) is:UI/QUALITY OF LIFE>Twin-Bar (Dual-Shortcutbar)Adds a second hotbar slot above each of the existing ones that you can swap to with Shift+1-0>Stacksize PlusIncrease default stack size by whatever multiplier you like. I have mine set to 100x, so something that normally stacks to 10 now stacks to 1,000. Items that cannot stack (like weapons) are unaffected.>Unlock PlusCan extend storage slots in containers by a multiplier, similar to Stacksize Plus. I have mine set to 2.0 to double the number of slots in each container. That combined with Stacksize Plus really cleans up base inventory. Also contains the functionality to "grab" materials from your base to craft with, but that functionality is apparently rolled into the core game in the update. We'll see how well it works.>Armor and Weapon Stats in Bench>Player Ignores Follower CollisionSelf-explanatoryLOOKS/CUSTOMIZATION>FashionistEasy-to-access transmog on the inventory page. Ability to hide armor pieces. Also works for thralls with the Thrall Outfitter's Bench item.>HeritageNPC sliders rework. Makes for less goofy NPCs. Doesn't affect you or existing NPCs at all, just changes the tables used for new spawns. There are no new textures/models, it's entirely vanilla, just with less wonky values.>Improved Quality of LifeJump back into the character creator with Shift+M or customize thralls from their radial menu. It also does other stuff (minimap, customized map marker colors, etc.) but I have all of those turned off.
>>737868047>>737868845Continued:GRIND-REDUCING>Tier 4 Followers - Mild Increased SpawnBase-game, T4 followers have about a 1-2% chance of spawning in areas that they can appear at. This ups that by an order of magnitude, to 10-20%. Still rare, but less "MMO-raid-drop" rare.>Reliable Meteor Showers:Sometimes you have a lot of star metal on the map, other times there's none. This mod basically checks if there's little/no star metal on the map and if it's below a certain threshold it'll make a meteor shower.SERVER SETTINGS:>ProgressionI increase thrall XP by 5x. There's no slider for this, so instead you have to increase ALL the sliders to 5x, then set your own (the "Player XP Rate Multiplier) to 0.2x, which cancels it out. The result is that thralls gain xp 5x as fast, but everything else is untouched. It's jank but whatever.>HarvestingSet the Land Claim Radius Multiplier to the minimum. This is an anti-griefing setting for public servers, in order to prevent other players from building inside your base. In single-player all it does is prevent nearby wildlife and resource spawns, which you probably want.>CraftingEvery multiplier except cost is set to the minimum. The game is balanced around a server that's online 24/7, and these craft times are supposed to run overnight. If you're not doing that, then just crank them all the way down. It's way more reasonable.
>>737868837>and reduces file size to 40gb (from something like 120gb)How is that sorcery going to work?
>>737868917They contracted another dev team to help them with it and apparently Funcom really really sucks at optimization.
>>737868917I'm pretty sure they just didn't compress assets in the UE4 build settings. WH40k Inquisitor Martyr suffers from the same retarded decision. Unlike conan exiles, that game really has no business being 100gb+
>>737841093mad island lacks sexy outfits
>>737868845>Heritage>Improved Quality of LifeIsnt ToTCustom better for thrall customization?Also, Devious Desires for thrall animations.
>you can't fuck your undead minionsWell, there goes my character idea
>>737869293>Isnt ToTCustom better for thrall customization?ToT is way better for customization in general, and it's your go-to if you want more options. I use iQoL because I'm not looking for more in-depth customization, I just want a quick way to mess with my townsfolk's sliders and hairstyles. iQoL just adds a button to your thralls' radial menu that pops you into the character creator so you can customize them like you'd customize your own character--nothing fancy.Heritage is its own thing. It doesn't add any more customization either, all it does is change the default settings on the NPC spawn tables. Many of the vanilla NPCs spawn in with weird face sliders and pink hair and stuff. Heritage just tones down everybody so they look less like Oblivion NPCs and more like regular people.
>i'll need to wait at least several weeks for mods for UE5 edition
>>737840867It's ok, but it's getting dated.The world is actually pretty good and nice to explore but most everything else is just ok now and lots of other games have come along and done it better.It's still one of the better survival crafting games, but it is a 6/10 game in a genre full of 3/10 games.
>>737869854>lots of other games have come along and done it betterName three.
>>737869871Enshrouded basically does everything better than Conan Exiles.Soulmask is also basically just Conan Exiles but better in most everyway.Windrose is also looking like it will just be a superior game in most everyway to Conan Exiles.
>>737869987Conan Exiles has nudity by default. That's what makes it superior.
>>737869987>Soulmask is also basically just Conan Exiles but better in most everyway.
>>737870467The only things I don't like about Soulmask are the map, which just isn't as good and the tribal setting because tribal setting is just low tier.
>>737841093I did a year ago, though it's still in EA and probably another year or two from 1.0.
>>737869738Do you have to use the UE5 edition right away?
>>737868047less building restrictions placements
Play now, or wait for update?>t. never even opened the game
>>737869987>WindroseAny other anons playing this? Ive been playing it for the last week and have had a lot of fun
