Mr. Sinister Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 26 minutes ago, Simmsy said: This game is the reason why I finally bought an XB1, I love this game to death. This game is what the next Elder Scrolls game needs to be. This game does take patience, but I found the game so amazing from the get go, that sticking with it was never a chore for myself. In fact, I love all the time and care that you have to put into Henry, it makes you care about him on a different level that no other game I've played has ever done before. I didn't want him to be a moron, so I learned to read. I don't want him to be looked down upon, so I bathe and tailor his clothes, i even bought the best stuff for my lame ass horse, Pebbles. The only thing I don't like about the game (nitpicking, here) is that a lot of the perks are absolutely worthless or are too detrimental to your character. I have perk points that I haven't used because there is nothing worth using them on and other ones actually hurt my character. Also, I wished cooking was more fleshed out, kinda like making potions, but once again, I'm nitpicking. Heh,im doing the exact opposite (thousand yard stare knight with George Foreman hands that fights and smells like death (and yet the ladies cant get enough). My biggest moment so far is stealing Sir Robard's horse from the Talmberg stables and flying past everyone out of the keep. Man, that thing is a beast lol. Right now im mostly raiding the small villages and shooting dice at a few taverns. That alone is pretty damn fun so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I banged his wife, I didn't mean to...I shouldn't know better when she asked me to try on the shirt she gave me. My best moment is when some guy attacked me in the woods while I was hunting, I just charged at him with a bow, fired a single shot and nailed him right in the eyeball. I'm sure you know how hard the bow is to use (even with a marksman potion), so I was impressed with that one. I was also very proud of myself when I poisoned an entire bandit camp when I snuck in at night an laced their food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love killing religious fundamentalists (and oh my, do I love that), I think that in a game where your character carries a grappling hook and wingsuit with him at all times, the Himalayan mountains are the perfect setting for getting into mayhem. Plus I thought the companions in 5 were so useless. I haven't played New Dawn yet, but would be interested in hearing opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan since a Fetus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I just went on a game buying binge. Got God of War, Kingdom Hearts 3, Dying Light Enhanced Edition, Ni No Kuni II, Resident Evil Biohazard, and Doom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they gave it away during the bedside visit after he gets clubbed over the head by the bald merc. No married woman (much less the lady of a castle in medieval times), sneaks into your barracks at night to feed you (when she couldve easily sent one of her maidens or whatever) while you're convslescing, talking about God, then talking about her marital problems, without expecting something in return... That something being wild, freaky bent over in the pig pen style sex. And yeah, that bow is crazy.

Mr. Sinister Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 @Momma There Goes That ManYep, realistic, but not in a way that grossly inconveniences you. You have to bathe (My character doesnt, so its optional, but totally dependant on who you want to be) in a trough or go go the bathouses,you have to eat, sleep, etc, and all can have a variety of consequences if you dont. For example, my Henry is a violent drunkard and gambler, and whe he gets drunk, its just bad.... For everybody ( Fallout semi-inspired perks can aid you or hurt you, depending on how drunk you want to be, or what you actually get drunk on) . He also tends to beat people to death who beat him at dice (chased this one dude out of the tavern and across a field and eventually gave him them hands. You must learn everything. Even lockpicking seems impossible at first, but like everything in life, the more you practice, the easier it becomes 28 minutes ago, Simmsy said: I knew she was into me, I just didn't think trying a shirt on would be a one way ticket to pound town.

I play on normal for now (dunno about XB1, but on PS4, there's only " Normal" and "Hardcore"). On my second playghrough I will do Hardcore. And I shall never bathe.

The Evil Genius Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 You guys playing the royal edition or the vanilla version of KC:D? Target had the vanilla one for $9.99 if you can find it in store...so I've been hunting it for a few days. Hate to drop $25+ on a game I may hate 10 minutes in...

More content and armour etc im assuming. Ive been reading up on it a bit,and it seems KCD sufferred from s very buggy launch, that evaporated their steam community. But I guess with like a year and a half, they've fixed some stuff. It's not perfect but it's pretty damn fun. Again, I can see how the realism isnt for everybody, and depending on your tastes it may even be an auto turnoff, but the authenticity draws me in. It feels right. It feels lively (and also, I readily admit I am playing the aftermath and patched version, after many people initially threw their hands up probably). Instead of wasting away on farming and looting, you instead build your char from the ground up, with a Skyrim-like leveling system, and get your kicks that way. The save system may also be a problem with people, with you consuming "Saviour schnapps" to save on the spot, and being SOL otherwise, unless you complete a quest or are near a bed that you can sleep in (of which there are plenty, especially if youre like me, and seek out new village to raid and kill defenseless peasants 👍). But im a Souls guy, so that isnt new to me. And I also have been waiting for a game like this personally (it's not quite where I want it, but its in the neighborhood). It's not for everyone. It was a no brainer for me, biting on the $39.99 price tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a no brainer for me, biting on the $39.99 price tag I tend to look into games very extensively before I buy them, but reviews can only tell you so much. After all of the reviews I saw for Dead Island, it wasn't the game I expected. Still enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I thought it was going to be. I saw this game and all the reviews raved about it, however, everyone said it was a very glitchy and bugged game. I literally waited about a year to buy this and an XB1 and my expectations were all met in a way that no game has ever met. As Sinister has said, its not a game for everyone, but if you want an "REAL" rpg, this game has set a new bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, one quest has you get crap house drunk with a priest in a tavern, bang some winches and then the priest remembers he has a sermon to give in a couple hours.

Everytime you throw hands, every time you swing a sword/mace/other sharp or blunt instruments of destruction, every time you use a bow, every time you kill an a animal, every time you take your horse out for a ride, every time you steal, speak, haggle, lockpick, snuff an entire family in their sleep, feed your dog, and yes, every time you hit the flask. You can eventually control how much you can drink, what you get drunk from, how bad your hangover is, whether or not you want to be a functioning alcoholic (stats improve when you drink, and you are more stable, whereas when not drinking you shake all over the place), whether you want to go Medieval Big Mike Full of Rage, and kick every ones ass, or whether or not you get all sauced up and charm people in conversations. My dude rages, and stumbles around in conversations like some drunken master **** 😂😂😂 *If your charisma skill + moonshine rage skill is high enough, you can literally threaten guards who try to arrest you, intimidate store owners, etc, and threaten various other npc's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
