Replaying it right now as a mage on hard. The staff is actually a decent melee weapon with the stun, you basically always knock down a stunned enemy with the kick. Just killed the orc shaman but I feel like i still mostly use my spells to heal. Charm can be pretty decent, and the telekinesis turns anything into a cannon. Still great gameplay. Shits all over games like skyrim.

its one of those early PC games that are designed primarily for a monitor. HDTVs have microscopic HUD, Handhelds have ant sized font.

Arkanes only good game.
Arx Fatalis is flawed, but passible. The rest of them are terrible. Be warned that theres a cut off point with that studio.

>>740247223
Dont just spam attack that shit will not work, potions are fiddly as fuck to use so just keep the heal spell ready to cast
>>
>>740247784
>HDTVs have microscopic HUD
This is why i settled on a 32 inch screen. Huds are still tiny but it's actually playable. I never went for the big screen meme knowing it would fuck me over with old games.

It's a cool tech demo showing how in-depth mechanics and physics source engine can have
Kinda like medieval Half-Life 2, overaching direction is on-rails, but how you tackle each situation is entirely up to you.
Never got around to finish it, it just wasn't my jam. Same happened with E.Y.E, both of these games on paper are incredible and have more depth than other games in their genres, but there's just something inexplicable in both that makes me stop halfway through.
>>
>>740247689
It's been nearly 20 years and we still don't have a more intuitive combat system than what Dark Messiah made. Why shouldn't I be able to cut a rope and slam random crap onto an enemy? Why can't I telekinesis said random crap as weaponry? Why can't I shoot ice on the ground to make a slip and slide? Why can't I use a might boot to kick enemies into hazards? Why aren't there more evil women who don't betray me and just want a simple monogamous relationship ruling the world with a dad who's proud of you? These are all simple points any adventure game should be able to hit.

Fatekeeper has some of these elements in it's gameplay. It's an early access game though so... maybe wait for it to be finished or something.

I feel like E.Y.E. is far rougher than dark messiah. In dark messiah the gameplay just clicks and you're kicking and slamming your way all the way to the end of a fairly straight forward story. E.Y.E. is rough at first and you either read a guide to figure out how to play or you lucked out and guessed correctly before you start rolling through the enemies.

You should kick enemies as often as possible.
If you see something and think "if I kick someone into this will they die?" then you should immediately do it.
It's hilarious

Combat is much better if you unbind kick

It's light attack and power strike, bro
>>
>>740250178
And power strikes are different for every direction and every weapon type + you unlock additional combat moves via levelling up.
"bro"
>>
>>740250246
They are functionally the same in each direction and you're only using one weapon at a time, so it's safe to say that it's just 2 attacks
>>
>>740250305
>They are functionally the same in each direction
No, they're not. Try playing the game, bro.

I did. I got bored by the spider temple because there were only two attacks and kick

the gameplay videos are bait you spend most of the time spamming heavy attack. Also to not get softlocked you should spec into healing first

You will experience a Succubus dominating your mind, trying to put you under her control and making you her slave, while whispering to you in an ASMR voice.
I hope you will make the right decision, when it comes to it. I will not tell you anything more than this.

i know but if you spec into it you can't fail anymore

So it has nothing to do with being softlocked, words mean things

bummer
anyway i played it recently and it was much easier than I remember. The abundance of instakill chasms, spikes and shit like that made it really easy. Still, a very, very good game. Never really topped combat-wise.

>trying to put you under her control and making you her slave
But it's never really her making you her slave. She's basically a pickme going "become the dark lord so I can become your concubine".
Leanna is basically the same, but more bitchy and demanding, treating you like her simp.
Closest thing i ever saw to a true domme succubus in vidya was Mizora in BG3 and even she's basically somewhat forced to have a bad hand by the game.

I played it on release, and I've liked it since then, but I think this meme status it has among zoomers as having amazing combat is totally undeserved. The physics are fun, kicking people and throwing crates at them is fun, but the combat itself is meh. Useless "light attacks" that shouldn't even be in the game, pretty standard four-directional attack scheme, retarded unremarkable combat AI; it's really nothing special. (Even though it's third-person, so not exactly comparable, Severance: Blade of Darkness still has the best combat in any action adventure fantasy game to this day).
To me the real appeal of this game is that it gives you that medieval fantasy adventure feeling. Jumping and climbing around, swinging from rope arrows, etc. That part where you climb the spider pit is one of the greatest moments in the game to me. It's also surprisingly immersive. One of the few games at the time where you could see your body when you looked down. It had that little section where you could forge a sword as well, just things like that. To me that's what made the game stand out.
