Anyone here pick this up? I'm considering giving it a go

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

No, play it later.

In the spring, when it is scheduled to come out on GOG and you get to keep it forever.

You're all welcome.

Yes. Play it now.

Imagine the quest quality of Witcher 3, with the realism of Red Dead Redemption 2, in the world of Skyrim, where the AI is smart and your choices have real consequences.

It is very notably not anything like the world of Skyrim.

The sense of exploration, scale, and open-world are similar. The dragons, magic, fantasy setting are not.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

It'll have some goddamn magic and dragons when I'm done modding it dammit

And slutty armor, as Conan intended

If you haven't played the first one, just understand that it strives for realism and unlike most RPGs, of someone for example says "meet me here at sunset" you won't be able to find them there before sunset because, they haven't left yet, and also if you don't meet them there that evening they'll be quite upset with you for standing them up

The first game's gameplay was like Morrowind mixed with aspects of Skyrim, with a focus on immersion and "realism." Combat is determined not just by stats but player skill. It's set in a real-world historical setting: 15th-century Bohemia, just prior to the Hussite Wars.

It was one of the best RPGs I've ever played, but it's very much a game that inspires love or hate, depending on your personality. It was one of the few games I preordered over the last year.

It is awesome. All the feel of the first game with performance that isn’t constantly holding it back from being fun.

Thanks for the link! I had known these guys split from zero punctuation, but I didn't know what their new channel was.

Many of his gripes are also why I prefer to get games like this on PC. You can usually mod away any tediousness such as overencumbrance, quicksaves, looting radiuses, etc
