Hello, I am Sardine, legate of the Congregation of Merchants and the game is really not THAT good.
Yeah its definitely my favorite rpg of the year. Spiders studio is only like 45 people including non coders/artists, I think they could make something pretty impressive with a larger budget so I hope this game sells well
Absolutely not, a solid 6-7/10 game
>ME1/Witcher 1 of this generation.
so the sequels will be worse
How do I make Sardine and Siora hold hands?
they will have better combat and maybe menus but worse everything else
do you ever learn native language
For me, this is embodiment of how drastically trailers and X min pre-release gameplays can distort the true nature of a game. In this case, in negative direction. The game is definitely more than what it seems to be at first sight.
Witcher 1 was fucking dog shit, Mass Effect and Witcher 1 did not play like this game did, so no it isn't you fucking retard
Been waiting since yesterday for this thread.
>world is cool
>romance options
>armor design is on point
>story is ok so far. Made it to New Serene
>no naval combat
>magic sucks
>linear exploration means I don't get engulfed by the world, i just walk everywhere picking every item up.
I doubt there'll be any sequels desu
>Aphra wants to learn the native's transformation rituals
>she thinks there must be some rational, scientific explanation for why the mutations occur
>in a world where magic is an everyday occurrence
really
>no naval combat
My niggas. Ships in this game are so good it's a crime not to give them more attention.
A mediocre game overshadowed by its much better sequels?
Witcher 2/3 combatis dumbed down action combat for casuals, it's nowhere near as good as 1.
>have a conversation with her
>only two dialogue options
>both of them result in her telling me she's not interested in me
I WASN'T OFFERING YOU FUCKING BABOON
>it's nowhere near as good as 1
Left-click when your cursor lights up is now good combat?
Spiders' other games were like Witcher 1 and Mass Effect 1 already but with much less content. I just started playing Greedfall and so far it looks promising.
>a bunch of native knuckleheads say they're going to war proper now
>you can just leave them be
Getting a real bad vibe from this desu.
>armor design is on point
armor looks absolutely generic:
Allow me to introduce myself; I am de sardet, legate of the congregation of merchants.
Is it good?
Are you a fan of weebshit?
[insist]
Have I told you guys I'm the legate of the Congregation of merchants?
Allow me to [Insist] myself; I am De Sardine, Charisma of the congregation of Intuition.
>100%
Are there even swords that need more than 3 agility? And armor that need more than 3 endurance?
ts not bad so far, about three hours in so I suppose my input doesn't matter at all but first impressions are great.
Golden ones?
>waiting since yesterday for this thread.
There has been a non-stop Greedfall general on here since release day.
How do I avoid having to kill Cera
Easily the best Spiders game so far
I like their Mars setting better though
I am Legate, the Sardine of the Congregation of Merchants
what the fuck are you talking about? If anything the armor in Greedfall is a little too flashy.
Magic is also just part of the in-universe physical laws.
What can do I for you, your excellency?
Anyone getting graphical glitches on eyelids? I'm not sure what is causing them and it's really bugging me.
LOOKS LIKE I HAVEN'T PROPERLY INTRODUCED MYSELF
Guys, Conquistador blood runs throung my veins but I think that im going to go full native
3 stances system alone makes it better than equally spammy W2/3 combat
I AM DER SAGET, LEGLIFT OF THE CONSTIPATION OF MERMAIDS
Well are there? I'm thinking of using the reset crystal to do everything the same except put only 3 points in agility so I can beef up my accuracy instead with the other two points so I can use more than just the starting pistol. But I know I'll be pissed if the merchants suddenly start shoving agility 4 swords in my face.
I dunno man I want so badly to like this but so much of the game wants me to hate it. The combat is a boring janky mess, the questlines are often pretty broken, the asset and enemy reuse is unbelievable. I'm not sure I even want to keep playing at this point.
Sure, there are some 3 point legendaries but the majority of them are 5 point.
I have actually not seen a 3 point legendary.
Everywhere, but they're shit and not upgradeable. Most of high tier purple stuff requires 4 max, but honestly it's not worth it.
pound that celtic pussy
I wish there are more games where you can flaunt your title and scare poor guardsmen
simple designs
>Conquistador blood runs throung my veins
Tell that to your nature mark.
Is this the first NEXT GEN eurojank game? It feels like an actual step forward in a genre that hasn't progressed in over a decade
Yeah honestly I feel like level 3 purple gear with three purple upgrades rapes every opponent anyways. I'll get to respec then. See you guys in two hours or so.
>scare poor guardsmen
It's okay, user. Some people get brainwashed into only being able to play polished AAA turds. They turn away from AA games with true soul.
Pretty much. I had some blue gear even when I finished the game at lvl 35.
there's definitely some that require 4 agi.
only one that requires 5 that I've seen so far is the unique 2-handed sword you get for clearing the arena challenges, and that's worse than a blue 2-hander that only needs 3.
>Coin Guards reputation -1
THINGS
ARE GOING
TO GET
D I C E Y
well in base state its probably the best
problem is it cant be upgraded while random shit you can buy from marchants is only slightly worse base and CAN be upgraded and ends up massively more powerful

Reminder that you can go full incest forbidden love now
>just a cough, dear cousin. Nothing to worry about.
The lightning dash is too broken
[Glare silently.]
>Have to mod it in.
without saying much, can I go full Disney Radcliffe and just fuck over the natives like reality?
I've heard that MC is betafaggot who can't say shit when someone insulting or using him. Is that true?
Why were they such autists anyway
[Shrug.]
>ME1/Witcher 1 of this generation
A janky mess with an interesting story, setting and characters and it's gameplay is only gonna get enjoyable by the second or third game in the series?
should I ignore crafting skills?
Apparently you don't know who I am. Allow me to introduce myself, I am De Sardet, legate of the congregation.
If you're playing as a male Sardine you're playing the game wrong. Female Sardine is waifu
>looks like reanimated drowned corpse
>waifu
Not with that face she ain't.
LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH
Until the very end of the game - I'd say yes. You can always craft tier 3 at smith-kun. Friendly Kurt gives you +1 to crafting while he's in party, and crafting gloves give you one point more. So equip both of them every time you want to make shit.
>wearing my flamboyant gold trim preorder gear
>EXCUSE ME, DO YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO I AM? DO YOU KNOW WHO MY UNCLE IS?
>want to get this
>also want new cod
Absolutely not. It has the jank of ME1/TW1 but none of the charm.
Good taste. But actually male Sardine is pretty fun to play as well.
A fucking land shark!
*rollin at you*
I INSIST
I really like how the beasts in this game use their whole body to fuck you up
What the hell are you taking about? I’ve been waiting for a game with this armor aesthetic forever
All I want to do is keep fucking shit up with my firearms and maybe use a bit of magic to constantly jump around and doge.
Magic is OP, i dont know why people are complaining
its boring
I don't get why they recycled so many building layouts when they put a lot of care into individually decorating them. Why be so lazy in one, not labor intensive but big impact aspect, and then be so dilligent in another aspect? It seems like a terrible way to cut corners.
Don't ignore, but do stack bonuses. The crafting skills are incredibly useful. Craftsmanship lets you squeeze out a lot more armor/balance/damage to health & armor. Science can really trivialize a lot of the game with certain potions, and is essential if you're using a gun a lot.
You don't really need them a whole lot if you're focusing on magic almost exclusively, but you're a faggot if you're doing that, and even then mana potions are nice to have and having the science skill to make them is a bit of a money-saver.
>Craftsmanship
Put 1 point in it, get Kurt friendly for +1, wear gloves that give +1. Switch out the team to include Kurt at any camp/residence and you're good to go. Or you can have the smith in New Serene make tier 3 upgrades for a price as long as you have the materials, too.
>Science
Put 1 point in it, get Aphra friendly for +1, put an upgrade on any chest that gives +1. Switch out the team to include Aphra at any camp/residence and you're good to go. You can have the alchemist in Hikmet make tier 3 potions for a price as long as you have the materials, too.
>loot every crate in a city for gold and ammo
>everything respawns next day for some reason
>repeat
I kinda wish they had only done 1 bigger city, with the other 2 factions having embassies or compounds in that city
>get cheevo
Is there a way to mod out the facial cancer yet?
What a puzzling design decision. Like anyone wouldn't hate looking at that
>>cheevo
So am I really fucked as far as romances is concerned because I didn't pick a specific, nonchalant dialogue line during their companion quests?
Or can I still trigger romances later on?
>What a puzzling design decision
Play the game more, it has a reason
Wish we could re-do our appearance. He didn't look so bad in the initial design.
You are fucked, I picked the wrong option with Kurt because I was keeping my options open and was locked out of the romance.
i barely notice it
Does time matter? Is there some hidden counter I havr to worry about?
>I picked the wrong option
Which one?
>play on highest difficulty
>those acid spitting flying pieces of shit just rapid firing at you
holy fucking hell
storyline time is only measured in main quests completed
I would play the shit out of a game like this that had a genuinely massive single urban area. But I have never seen it really tried, so maybe it's not as good as I imagine.
As far as ive seen there are some quests that make you wait until the next event trigger. There are also times in a quest where if you go past the time limit you fail an event
Niggah, Sardine literally says in one of dialogues that on the continent people treated /ourlegate/ like some sort of an abomination. Because of that mark. But that mod with unlocked npc faces has a lot of unmarked faces if you really want it.
I want wooden horns.
>the ME1 of this generation
So laughable garbage only zoomers who don't actually like RPGs will play?
It is sjw shit, you cuck. Wake the fuck up
>genuinely massive single urban area
Well, there was Dragon Age 2.
use the right stance, position yourself and click with the right rhythm.
yes, that's better than spamming two buttons.
The one you get the first time you speak to him.
where are the remaining ones?
just did the mission of the monsters attacking theleme and i'm starting the bridge one now.
i've explored everything i think
W-Which was the wrong choice, again?
I wouldn't say that's "this kind of game". And the hub city was small as fuck, barely bigger than the starting area in greedfall, much smaller than the city in witcher 3.
>But that mod with unlocked npc faces has a lot of unmarked faces if you really want it.
Where's this? Can't easily Google any mods
R E N O U N C E Y O U R F A I T H
The correct choice was the "I want to understand you better" option, and it was after "Missing in Action" rather than the first time you speak to him, I can't remember which one I picked though.
Flirting with Kurt is weird as fuck.

Nothin personnel inquisition
granted poor guy doesnt know how to react to the kid he taught suddenly wanting his dick
>it was after "Missing in Action"
Now I'm even more concerned, since I don't remember that option.
>>dS: "...Did you fuck that boy?"
To be fair, that IS a really bizarre question.
>game seems to run at a good framerate
>However camera moves in a janky jerky fashion
Is there any way to fix this? So annoying. Fucking eurojank.
Hey, he starts flirting with you first.
Turn off v-sync. Force it through control panel if you want it, that doesn't cause any issues.
You are retarded if you can't understand why a game having massive issues is a problem. There's a lot to love here but it's really spoiled by the garbage design in some places. Some of my favourite games are low budget.
It's off nigga this isn't 1998 you don't have to tell people about vsync
you should never turn off vsync. it's not there just to annoy you.
Sure thing buddy. Enjoy your stuttering.
That's what fixed the camera movement on my end, user.
9 times out of 10, in-game vsync just causes issues.
>it's not there just to annoy you.
Yeah, it's there for idiots.
No. Beyond what you as a player learn through sheer repetition of having heard it like "ol menawi."
Yeah. Not GREAT, but good.
Yes. There's a bunch of different ways, from a general "I ruined everything for everyone" to more specific "I fucked over the natives, ha!" endings.
>you should never turn off vsync. it's not there just to annoy you.
Who told you this? Why did you believe it? Lol
dont play games with vsync on bro, literally every...
educate yourselves
anandtech.com
Shit, even slightly better equipment need +Agi / End etc. I wanted to go apeshit with Accuracy and don't touch a thing until it's maxed out but I guess I have little say in the matter.
how's magic in this?
ah NICE!!!!!!!!!! pls educate me
or how about this: vsync forced off and stayed off since I have a 165hz monitor
Pretty good. It's effective for just dipping if you don't want a magic-primary build. Everyone could use Heal or Shield. It's also extremely effective if you're going magic-primary as the damaging spells are very potent.
I thought it was pretty bad. Face models and animation was andromeda tier. Combat was shallow omnidirectional infinite no cost parries. Could not stomach more than a few hours and gave up.
So, it is true then
>Face models and animation was andromeda tier
difference being face models and animation for andromeda were allocated probably 100 times as much money in development as this game
the essence of jank appreciation is understnading what devs had to work with
Who cares about that faggy shit, what divides the games is the quality questing and world.
That's the same thing people said with Mars War Logs and that game didn't really sell.
Dude, it's by Spiders. If it had naval combat, half the game wouldn't be made and it'd shipped full of bugs like Bethesda's.
You know as a consumer I do not care if they had a big or small budget. The end result is that the models and animations are kind of shit and ruined it for me.
Well my dude, we all have different aspects of the game we can like and dislike. The unnerving facial animations and overall jankiness of movement made it intolerable for me.
So it's jank garbage?
Ok, I'll avoid it then.
anyone know what this is? there's a sort of distortion like when there are traps and white particles like when you can loot something (no yellow or orange despite my intuition)
>respawns for some reason
Because boxes are used for storing things. The people putting them in probably think that someone else who works there came and took the supplies.
What do you think their studio is going to do without the $0 your pirating it was going to bring them!?
Why do frogs call themselves Spiders anyways?
It's okay, he only dies if you kill him
Can you feasably build a Cleric in this game? Magic requires Willpower and Mental Power and doesn't leave the space to pick up Endurance or Strength, shitsux.
where do you even recruit aphra? petrus just invited himself into my party when i went to talk to the pope lady. When I went to the bridge, i just saw the curry king and went on my way
It happens later on.
she is one of the missing researchers
But Witcher 1 was dogshit eurojank.
Female Sardine is so boyish. Shame you can't put a dress on her. Good thing almost anything looks good on her.
Tomboy Sardine getting impregnated by Siera's nature magic'd dick
Me/Witcher were shit.
This game is actually good.
t. drowner
>level 5 and I've been hunting for a proper armour since the start
>tfw after like a dozen Embroidered Doublet a Bandit drops this
My first blue item. This should last for quite a while with upgrades.
go kill the treeman and get a full lego set
What would killing like 5 guys accomplish? If anything, you'd probably just make the situation even more hostile since the conflict is caused by misunderstandings and lies.
Who'd you pick for high king?
I'm tossing up between "remove invaders" and "peace&love". Does the outcome matter?
Duncas is a bro
I stumbled apon the coin guard arena last night and could not get past round 4.
don't know if it matters but later i went to talk to the one i chose duncas when recruiting allies and sardine said he made the right choice
Is there at least naval travel, maybe a small pontoon at least.
I'm going back to my apartment with some liquor and chicken wings and then I'm heading back into the game. I really want to like it anons. Any tips for enjoyment?
You basically have room to level 3 attributes evenly as you play the game. My first one, I went Agility, Accuracy and Endurance for swords, guns and armor. My second one was a caster with Mental, Willpower and Endurance for spell strength, MP and armor. That's basically a Cleric build, especially since the best heavy armors seem to be Theleme anyhow.
>the "bone blowers" are one of the first clans to fully embrace outsiders
Very cute.
She's the last to join, you just need to keep progressing the main story for awhile before she appears as part of a Hikmet quest.
Just craft better armor. A couple of pieces of ore turns gray shit into better than half the Legendaries in the game.
>Haha its eurojank bro!!
Last time you told me this it was Elex and that was one of the worst fucking video games I have ever played.
That bad?
So far it's like Dragon's Dogma but isn't as boring and much more interesting combat. Magic is turbo OP though.
Menus could be better though, no shortcuts makes it a bit tedious to sell/break down many items at once.
Speaking of, is Endurance worth it? I want better armor, but all of the heavier stuff looked pretty unfashionable so far.
The choice is extremely important.
>like Dragon's Dogma but isn't as boring and much more interesting combat
Nigga, what the fuck.
The only one I've found is for glendemen, it was by the river near where the forest Nadaig is.
He probably means Dragon Age
It only really becomes dragon's dogmaish when you go for two handed weapons. Those giant fucking swords look like animu shit.
It literally is anime shit, I found a no-dachi.
...
Gesundheit.
Well, it has bad combat like those games, I'll give you that.
so how long until i can pirate it?
>bones of the first guardian
Imagine the size of that lad
I was getting so pissed off by those fucking bat things that poison you by doing literally anything but now I stomp those little shits into paste like nothing.
there's replayability?
Craft as perform top-tier upgrades on existing armour (sets)? Originally, I thought the Blacksmith' function is to make armours on demand, but it turned out he can "only" perform upgrades for money.
On day one slowpoke.
Jesus fuck Kurt, calm down.
Just finished it and completed every side quest except the one were you have to collect notes. Extreme difficulty was as expected a major disappointment (for a mage at least).
Even though i got a bit bored near the end it was a solid 6.9-7/10 game.
Not necessarily top-tier upgrades. You'll find better equipment later, so save your epic Blacksmith 3 upgrades for those. But the random junk you wear NOW that you adventure in? Those should all have at least a Tier 1 or 2 upgrade. It makes an enormous difference.
Which treeman? I've seen megaman with the spear and a french leshen knock-off on the way to San Matheus. Both kicked me in the sardines.
Different endings, different ways to handle several quests, different playstyles. I'd say it has moderate replayability, but the game is pretty much the same each time through.
Who'd you fuck?
How’s the world exploration in this game? It’s open-world, right?
the tree looking treeman
Every big monster looks like a fucking tree here, m8.
Because they aren't going to war with you user. You're a diplomat for the Congregation of Merchants, they're fighting the Bridge Alliance.
Would you say it's worth the 50 dollars?
You can easy pick up heal and shield - you cleric now.
Spent some point to str for wep and end for armour, and you fine.
one only has some tree bits, one looks like a tree
It is basically the end of final fantasy XV in terms of explorations. So no, its not. Just hallways. Think Fable.
Invisible walls every five feet.
why does my armor always seem dirty?
Aw, fuck that noise. I love me some exploration
DUDE
NORD-CELTIC NATIVE AMERICANS
LMAO
what is your obsession with americans, theyre just celts
I'll continue to wear /fa/ pieces in friendly areas, I just wanted a definite improvement over Embroidered Doublet (48/40) before venturing out of New Serene. You know, one worth sink resources into. This Cuirass fits the bill for sure.
Quality-wise my best stuff has late-20 values - this one is at 67. Since I don't plan to spend on Crafting (as level 2 is achievable even this way), I plan to perform upgrades in my own tempo and only pay the Blacksmith for tier-3 ones.
>Nord
What?
RENAIGSE
I am level 27 and still wear the preorder Doublet and Hat. It's kind of my own challenge run, I die in two hits. I also only deal damage with my pistol, phials(used to be traps) and bomb.
Romances kinda suck and it's hard to be a colonizing dick.
Siora. Felt like the most canon choice.
Ew. She looks like she needs a bath.
I'm an adult. The game could've cost $5 or $100 and it's basically the same to me. So, whatever I ended up paying for it, yeah, it was worth it. I also shelled out for the Alchemist Rapier pre-order that they converted to DLC for late comers.
wtf did I do wrong in my ending. it said the malichor wasnt cured, like wtf we found the cure. they just need to stop pooping in their drinking water. is it because I made ulan high king not the shaman dude? I completed pretty much all side quests too.
what the fuck are these stupid land shark enemies and their 0 startup back kick and massive aoe shockwave front attack
it wouldn't be so bad if you could fight them one at a time but it's always 2 or 3 and another one charges into you while you're trying to avoid the shockwave and not be behind it ever
Where do you get Nord or Native American? They're clearly Picts with the pre-Gaelic language, standing stones, face painting, proto-Druidism, even their names are traditional Pict names.
Dumb mutt.
I like this game
Imagine the smell.
Nah, she's a freckled QT. Besides, it was her, the negress from the nation that's literally the root of all evils and problems in the game, or be a fag.
can you be friendly with a character but negative rep with his faction?
I just shoot them while they bounce on my companions.
They're especially frustrating on Extreme doing a melee build. Two of them do that stagger tail slap and you're out. Extreme is fun as fuck as melee.
Interesting setting but really boring island to explore
merchant prince armor is fancy as fuck.
game looks really pretty too. the graphics could of course be better but its the setting that makes shit look good. If I have to grind through one more "gritty and dark" game where people exclusivly wear rags, colour hasnt been invented yet and people are always covered in dirt I will loose it.
Yes.
LOOK OUT, GRENADE!
I'm trying not to use any ammo because I ran across a Nadaig frasamen in the starting forest area and it took something like 50 bullets to kill it and I'm afraid I'm going to be seeing them a lot more.
honestly just sounds like an unfun nightmare, I'm on hard and it's annoying enough
no male sardine all the way. women dont have the fancy bear options that complete the image.
>finally find a scythe at the end of a secret corridor
>it's legendary
>it's considered a heavy weapon, and seems to just be a reskinned axe
fuck off
Why didn't you Take Constantin's offer and stab him instead?
its barely noticable with some of the bear options.
Not your fucking fight. The bridge has it fucking coming anyway.
1 level of science+ alphra (or 2 levels) and looting crates and you will have almost unlimited bullets (you get 5 per single craft, and components are common as fuck, like crude iron ore)
Because Constantin acts like we're a couple from that time we were kids and played I'll show you mine if you show me yours. Sooner or later, he'd have talked. Now that secret dies on the mountain with him.
I only have 1 level in science and the first 3 party members so far but its good to know there's a science party bonus
Just buy bullets and keep looting for now, later you will be set.
>friendly with everyone except NORTS and the Psuedoscience Caliphate
>game nearly over
>it was somehow easier to make friends of the natives and the extremely hostile catholics
the fuck
if anyone had the ending where the malichor is cured please answer.
You just need to pick Duncan and kill Constantin.
Grenades or weapon coatings?
dammit so no making the cash flow ulan? guessed as much. thx.
I personally went weapon coatings. Pistols are my go-to ranged damage.
Poison coating to stack it a long time with bonuses, or grenade if it is too risky.
For the rest, it depends: If you stayed with oen handed bladee and do damage with pistol mostly, grenades. If you went for any other weapon type, coating
Go on nexus, there's a mod to remove bobbing.
spoiler alert.
>THANKS user
>Picking Ullan
As if his quest wasn't a massive redflag.
The game has been out for like three days now. If you haven't 100%'d all the different endings, it's on you.
But why is kurt best boy?
whoops sorry. also the poop thing is a very loose interpretation.
>78%
It keeps dropping bros.
He knows when things are about to get DICEY
Who cares. Most of the best and most interesting games are in the 70's on rating sites.
sure he is a bit of a backstabbing cunt but out for profit. perfect ally for the merchant congregation. also if anyone is able to deal with the colonials its him. warrior lady would just get them all genocided sooner or later regardless of her success. and duncan seems to be primarily concerned with spiritual matters.
have you dealt with dr asili (aphra's teacher)? go talk to sand governor
see if the admiral in new serene port has a mission for you
getting them to nice and friendly gets you an item on your party chest
So you are saying is a 12 years old game made in current year?
>Theleme armor sets
The aesthetics in this game are top-tier (Bridge garbage excluded).
Did I fuck up by killing those natives who were hitting caravans?
bridge does have a handfull of fancy clothes. but most is shit. guard stuff is worse though.
merchant prince armor is best.
I would say that this is a solid "7/10" game, it's not perfect and it seems kinda clunky in certain respects, but I'm having fun with it so far. Just got to New Selene and met the native princess and I'm genuinely interested in what's going to happen next.
I went magic with grenades and i barely used them even the ultimate one.
They're only good for fast armor stripping (which useless with magic anyway).
I wish.
Does it at all help with the ending, or is it just for the item? I think Theleme gave me a purple ring and a cape, while everyone else has given me a legendary. Fucking penny pinching catholics.
How the fuck did you chose the same appearance for a character as me? It's like 100% the same
>steam exclusive
Go on lads, this one is on steamdrones
So it's garbage then, good to know.
derdre is shrek. get out of my swamp
ullan is a jew willing to do anyting for profit
duncas is the dude who goes in the same course as the other factions if you deal with them
>theleme - prophet accepted natives, bond with natives
>bridge - scientific progress doesn't justify the means, try to better understand natives
A large amount of the sidequests are necessary for best ending.
What is the point to level past 45 and even the point of that you can go beyond level 100?
at some point you have to recruit all factions against constantin so you may have to do the side missions for them or get fucked for not having done them
i supposed it'd go kinda like kurt where if you don't do his side missions he'll side with the guard during the coup
>duncas is the dude who goes in the same course as the other factions if you deal with them
It dosen't even matter since you unite every faction in the end
i finished the game with everything done except serafeddin's notes (going back for them now, help) and i'm lv 39
i'm currently spending levels on stuff i don't even want but i did get the skill points pillars and have 52 spent
Did they leave room for a sequel?
Where's the best place to pirate it
Just finished the game. Clocked 42h and saw both endings.
Kind of sad theres only 2 main game states, one being "good" and one being "bad".
In general I was not a fan of the ending.
Constantin made for a lame final boss. The final boss fight was also really boring.
They did it right in Bound By Flame so I had some high hopes here. Especiall hated that if you beat it the plot will pretend that you are lost and that Constantin is sparing you.
Main game part was really cool though.
Got all factions and companions to Friendly, which turned out to be really easy. They hit the pefect game length. If the game were any longer, the stale battle system and low enemy diversity would start bothering me.
but doesn't it change the ending slideshow?
i got a good ending for everyone
also what happened to sardine if he goes for the kill? he isn't mentioned and siora (my waifu) is mal but visits him once in a while
>chunky and average shit
seems about right
>Main quest bricked
>No word form the devs because Frenchies refuse to work on the weekend
I really don't feel like randomly trying to find a savegame that isn't bricked because nobody has the slightest idea when the bug starts thanks to the lack of official feedback.
damn... I just got to Hikmet and the town is completely and totally lifeless. Went into a few buildings and the NPCs are just standing in place doing absolutely nothing. So many copy pasted buildings, but with way more locked doors than New Serene.
Hikmet definitely feels even worse than the other towns.
Yeah Hikmet was really disappointing.
When I saw the city from a distance I thought
>fukkkk so much to explore!
But then there was nothing.
Also the narrator always saying the two cousins in the epilogue was really, really gay. Maybe this is more for a fem sardine...
>not bromancing Constantin
What are you, gay?
I might be wrong, but i think if you got freindly with everyone and then go Duncas>Unite all>Kill Consta the only slide that changes is about your waifu.
Looks like something you'd see in no mans sky.
>Game offers choice of 6 talents
>like going dialogue options so decide to pick between charisma or intuition
>decide to go for intuition
>get offered ONE (1) option because of it on the entire like 6 quests on first island
>meanwhile 30 locks to pick with lockpicking
>17 walls to blow up & option to make something with science
>4 options for charisma
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>AA studio creates an original game that shoots for the stars and hits most of them, rivaling devs with 10X the budget
>Hurr, how can I avoid giving them money?
Intution also increases your loot, makes more crates lootable and geenrally makes you swim in money.
Meanwhile most lockpicked chests work like normal crates and just give you 5 gold and 1 ammo or something like that.
Charisma is the most useless one because you can buy a cloak that gives +1 Cha and then just savescum.
Char also affects prices, but you only need like 1 point in it because of Petrus and cool capes.
Mutts find it hard to appreciate eurojank.
I want Sardine to break me down with a long tirade until I'm begging her to excuse my incompetence and spare me from the rope.
I bought Spiders' other games early and they were buggy janky messes, going to pick it up on sale after it's patched for a better experience.
No I do mean Dragon's Dogma. That game was ass, traveling everywhere was a chore and writing was typically Japanese; meaning shit.
First dragon age was GOTY compared to DD.
is the suffering of constanntin (native path) quest bugged?
I've already destroyed 2 nests outside the one inside the cave and the quest won't update
so is this one
especially the fucking camera
oh lawdy lawd the camera
there were quite a few quest related lockpickables as well though
>do the main quest involving the NORTS
>save their sailors, keep their secrets, save them from being exterminatus
>no +rep, still suspicious
LISTEN HERE YOU FUCKING RUM DRINKING CUNTS
Naut quests are weird.
I went from Suspicious to Friendly in the blink of an eye upon doing their last 2 faction quests.
>yfw Merchan of Congregation: Hostile
Uh ups, meant Congregation of Merchants.
Fuck played too much to finish the game now need sleep.
>talk to companion for first time
>game instantly slaps you with option between "I'm a flaming faggot" and "ayyy we're bros"
>talk to second companion for the first time
>does the same thing
is this going to become a trend?
My guess is it was intentional to stop people fucking themselves over by failing the stealth segments. Leave all of their +rep till the very end of the game so you can't possibly have fucked it up.
Think it's showing your standing with the particular leader of that faction
I fucking love this game.
>why yes my daily dinner consists mostly of sardines, how did you know?
I like the game, but it's definitely not a game to play hours after hours. It's best to do a quest or three a day, or it will get old fast.
fitgirl
that's basically any game ever now
unless you're still a kid
the days of playing a game for 14h straight are over bro
If De Sardine was born on a boat, how is he not a Naut?
Uhhhhh I take off work for the week and played 40h more or less straight, of course with 5h sleep breaks and a few peepee and shower breaks.
he technically is
>was just thinking about how De Sardet isn't a naut, and therefore not the ULTIMATE mary sue of this game's universe
>find this out during that quest
fuck me sideways
they could make a sequel they have a good name for it
greedfall 2 (about a new entire new continent not island)
greedfall 3 (about entire new world there is magic in the world so is not so far fetched)
I definitely talked to some recruit chick who kept her eyes closed the whole conversation when I got the impression that wasn't supposed to be the case
>look up the dialogue choices for Kurt's romance
>can't remember what I picked in the dialogue when you get his first quest
FUCK
The Nauts are shits anyways that only care about maintaining their monopoly on seafaring.
>gave kurt a giant set of legendaries that I swapped off myself when I found others
>mission where he is supposed to betray you comes up
>he doesn't
>if he betrays you all of his gear is sent to the chest
>still get a copy of all of his gear in my chest anyway
based kurt
He's literally a Congregation official while also being a Naut and a native. Only way it would be more Mary-Sueish is if he were also somehow a priest of the Theleme religion and a scientist well-respected by the Bridge Alliance.
>greedfall 2 (about a new entire new continent not island)
>go to the Far East
>the Congregation of Merchants is trying to get the nation to open up its ports for trade.
Give me more colonial simulator with Admiral Perry, Spiders.
Is this made on the Witcher 3 engine? Looks like it.
But he starts out as a diplomat, not some peasant on a farm. It's okay for the PC to be exceptional if there are both solid reasons for it and it's already been acknowledged and cultivated in universe.
Petrus reveals that you showed potential for magic very early in your life and he tried to convert you, so the Theleme connection is covered. The Bridge Alliance one is the only missing Mary Sue trait. You can become a fairly talented scientist and craftsman, but eh, not sure that counts.
But does it have hot elf/alien/monster ladies I can fuck? Important question.
No. Everyone knows humans-only settings are the best. You only put elves and shit in when you need a substitute for actual character traits.
No, Silk Engine. Spiders' own twist of Sony's PhyreEngine.
>No. Everyone knows humans-only settings are the best.
( x ) Doubt.
Will I ever be able to get a decent upgrade for the pre-order hat? The +1 intuition is too good to just pass up
>No. Everyone knows humans-only settings are the best
If it had elves the threads would be filled to the brim with
>HOW DO I GENOCIDE ALL THE ELVES?
>WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF ELVES I CAN KILL???
>HOW DO I KILL ELVES MORE BRUTALLY??
Are there any capes that do more than add a point to charisma?
Only if those humans are 10-13 years old
Fair.
Still, it's not Mass effect without fucking aliens/monsters.
>Expect Petrus to be the evil religious fanatic companion
>He's actually based
This game is full of surprises
he isnt just based, he is a damn living legend
>no body sliders
Why do RPGs get less options the further we get into the future?
>less character customization
>less character building with classes/stats/skills
Every year RPGs get worse yet people gobble them up allowing companies to get lazier and lazier.
Fucking how? They're a huge meme.
>Every year RPGs get worse yet people gobble them up allowing companies to get lazier and lazier.
The joke here is that there is no "every year" because we barely even get WRPGs every few years :^)
Death take you
>74 metacritic
Oh no...it was nice to have a dream bros but it's over
>Siora's mom is getting OTTOMAN'd right now somewhere in this area
>but apparently Siora thinks we're too busy to rescue her
Oh, okay...
I just came to that same point
you can literally go to the actual bridge alliance camp and no one even cares that you're there, and of course the queen isn't there either
MY CHILD
YOUR MOM WAS UH
PRETTY DAMN HOT
Its been consistently on 8.0 in User Score.
Not Spiders fault they spent their money for gamedev instead of reviews.
>That scene with the inquisitor when you first enter the Theleme city
>De Sardet's only reaction to the inquisitor is not shock at them brutally strangling a man to death, it's shock that the inquisitor didn't address De Sardet respectfully afterwards.
I love this character so goddamn much.
Can I play a sneering imperialist and spread civilization?
It's Siora's personal quest. I have no idea why the switched it like that at that point. They could have found the queen first. Than switch to a personal quest.
thanks for the spoiler
Thats really not a spoiler.
literally first thing you see upon entering saint mathias
Imagine having opinions this wrong
Allow me to introduce myself; I am the Sardine, legate of the congregation of merchants.
>cant romance Petrus
shame
Who was the fucking moron who stopped talents scaling past rank 3? There's literally 0 reason to put 3 points into charisma seeing every fucking cloak gives you +1 and having 4 in charisma does fuck all
Does the game actually even have any Endurance 5 legendary armor set?
I think I have done everything and not found one.
that voice though, I'd be his fucking alter boy any fuckin day
Imagine having such poor taste.
DD was shit, apart from having cool looking magic it was boring and lacked any sense of art style.
The combat is so smooth its bad. Your defensive power is sekiro level with none of the drawbacks. No stam bar too.
Day not dean
anyone complete serafeddin's notes? fuck this quest
Interrogating pimps and courtesans with your holy father is the last thing I expected from Greedfall. I love every second of it though.
...
>the congregation of (((merchants)))
So we're basically some weird amalgamation of venice back during it's "lets have our entire army be mercenaries that's a great idea" era and france right?
Since it seems our army is pretty much made of them mercs from the coin guard, and we seem to name our shit with french "àccénts"
Fug, I immediately got the right courtesan and didn't see that bit. It's only natural though, even Sardine figured it out back in the sex dungeon.
Truly, the best father one could wish for.
brutally strangling someone to death as when i arrive there...major character development. yes it is
Naval combat is fucking lame and shoe horned into 40 other shitty games. Fuck off with shit ass boat trash already. Go play your Ass Creed and other shitty boat games ya fuckin' faggot ass sailor navy niggers.
>boat games
It's a ship... not a boat.
"angers internally"
>finally friendly with the nauts
>they put an enormous dai katana in my storage box
fucking weebs
just fell through the map twice during combat and landed safely on the ground fully healed
thank you spiders
>it's very clearly a two handed sword
>scales off of maces anyway
Same fucking thing with the scythe. One of the devs had a hard on for the mage class and the mace weapon tree. Fuck it, I've got like five memory crystals to burn anyway.
Im sick of the Bridge Alliance betraying my trust
It was just a joke user we didn't know if we could trust you user heres the next quest user trust us
>better combat and maybe menus but worse everything else
why does this happen so often?
>finish game, decide to check some streamers' reception of the game
>many of them cant even get through the prologue without complaining that its taking too long
fuck streamers
t.woman
ITS A SHIP AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>the Bridge Alliance look like the token good guy faction and Teleme like random asshats
>Theleme is actually pretty reasonable and its just the ordo luminis who has a serious case of aspergers while everyone in the alliance is a mega jew that would sell you for 10 gold
>linear exploration
>has touched maybe 5% of the game
ok I might sound retarded here... how do you shoot? I can only find the ways to attack with the sword...
literally tutorial
>>no naval combat
They can't compete with Assassin's Creed.
you gotta assign it to one of the hotkeys. it's available from the pause menu, use middle mouse on the "firearm" action to bind it.
>No naval combat
Was this an advertised feature? Why would you dock points for that?
Man I didn't think I would like Sardine this much hes a great player character
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM
option two, milord
literally play the combat tutorial you idiot
Based
So how far into the story until I get to unlock the black chick as a partymember? I did all the quests for Hikmet, I met/helped Siora's tribe and i'm now going to Theleme before doing the quest to explore some ruins.
I'm lvl 14, I thought i'd have all 5 companions by now.
>tfw someone ask who they have the honor of speaking too
*places hands on hips*
AHEM
Is it possible to spare Vinbarr and Cera? Or from now on game would force me to lose all my reputation?
Why can't our boy De Sardine use the native magicks?
do the main bridge quest where you look for their expedition. she's the scholar that's missing
>if you ask the Cardinal about Petrus while he's in your party, he makes a snide remark about it
fucking top kek
didnt mean to (you) my bad
I don't think I'm ever gonna take off this sick ass hat.
because he doesnt know how
Governor, you are retarded.
>he doesn't have max CHA
Do you even INSIST?
You shouldn't. Diplomat's Hat is the only hat in the game to give a bonus to a skill.
Lady Morange, the former Governor of New Serene
>restarted hours of progress because I couldn't stand how ugly my sardine looked anymore
At the start of the game I assumed you'd be able to change your appearance later on but I was wrong.
What the fuck are the magics of our god then? The natives have their nature magic which turns them into leshen as a price. But do we discover truely what our magic is? Is this proof of the illuminate?
Also *cough cough* brightest star *cough cough* satan *cough cough*
why would I ever change my party from siora/petrus
Quests.
COME CLOSER, GOOD PEOPLE
to use the skill bonuses for a quick craft
but siora and petrus is the greatest combo for most quests and exploration
Kurt's a better bro and Vasco has the best damage potential.
This was the best looking female face and also the one I chose,she is very cute.
Who else /intuition/ here?
Pretty sure every situation I have come across solvable through Int was also solvable through Cha,and many were only solvable through Cha
When do companion quests activate? I did two for Kurt and one for Siora and Petrus but I haven't gotten anything else from them and I'm getting worried. I did 3 for Vasco and he feels like he's done, and 3 for Aphra but I'm guessing she'll have another involving her teacher.
I'm beyond happy, I've loved Spiders for years and have always bought their games. I wanted this to be well received so badly. I actually really liked Mars, Bound by Flame, and Technomancer, despite their flaws. I always felt that eventually they'd hit the mark. Did they finally do it, guys? Is this their "big break"?
They all do that when you ask about them in front of their respective faction leaders, like asking Siora's sis abouy her or the Admiral in front of Vasco
so its garbage?
I'm right there with you man. I've been following them since MWL. I've been playing Greedfall non-stop this week and seeing it get a fan base here puts a smile on my face.
Meant for
>tfw you realize you fucked something up 10 hours ago
After the events of this game who the fuck would ever hire the Coin Guard again? Even when you stop the whole conspiracy shit, they're still a bunch of shady fucks who conspire and do backdoor deals.
Yes, Greedfall feels very Witcher 1 in terms of quality.
>playing westernshit
My bitch pestering me for more mind blowing sex lmao
>siora just dogpiles all of her companion quests right before the end of the game
god fucking dammit just let me colonize your womb
>This game is unironically the ME1/Witcher 1 of this generation.
That was my thought when playing it. It's clungy in places and lack polish time to time. But you can see it was made by passion and its full of potential.
ON OL MENAWI....
Ending is disappointing
Both of them
More like anal menawi lmao
Uh what are they gonna do raise their own armies?
nice
Game is too fucking dull to be anywhere near those titles.
what the fuck is this
Thats my line!

I'm a bit confused here...
I'm in the side mission that requires you to et crates con the ship, in the begining of the game, the thing is... I snuck in and added my crates to the list, should that be enought for them to get shipped in? don't understand why it's telling me I still have to get past the guards...
Crates are stuck in warehouse, you need to get them out of there.
About to go to Ullan and do this emissary thing
Should I go through it or fucked up Ullan's shit?
Every now and then I look at it and think "how the fuck would the natives confuse golden circles for eyes instead of the sun?"
Let me homofy Kurt cowards, he deserves De Serdick
>for once the Theleme was right
FUCKING NATIVES
>buy game
>force self to play game for 3 hours
>refund game
Thanks steam!
There is only one sun, renaigse
Big dick 2 handed blade here. Fags just can't help but run into my wide swings.
and where exactly are there seven eyes arranged in an A pattern that are all yellow
a beast can have many eyes, there is only ever one sun
That armor is /fa/ as fuck
why dont you give her one user
So how is the combat actually?
Is it as janky and bad as normies make it sound?
holy FUCK they have those in-game?
fuck off nigger, they had a clear sub-saharan-african npc right outside the first room with the label "noble." then another npc was clearly an arab in europe. I'm totally going to give these antiwhite faggots my money.
lol just say you'd rather get games for free, user.
As much as I'd love naval combat I can't see it having a place so far. Look at something like Pillars 2 which went out of it's way to have it and it didn't really add much.
I just romanced the black girl and it was pretty hollow. Then again, the only character so far i've gelled with was Petrus.
blame the bridge alliance
Pillars 2 had navel combat?
>smacks 3 people with a 2hander
>question the lieutenants - check
spam parry. it costs nothing, works in all directions and gives you a chance to damage people attacking you. -_-
So the coin guard commander mentions sending some guards back to the continent to serve on the front lines as punishment so do Theleme and the Bridge Alliance have the coin guard regiments fight each other
The Serene sets are definitely the nicest in the game.
or you could just not do that and have fun
same with stasis
just a critique on the balance and design that was overlooked.
Yeah you stab people in the belly all the time.
So a janky piece of irrelevant, outdated garbage?
Great.
>>I'm going to swing my sword like this and if I hit you, it's not my fault!
the combat is literally as terrible and exploitable as people say, but everything else outside the quests is pretty good
And yet still better than the garbage the AAA industry keeps churning out.
>When you choose /fa/ over stats
front lines means they're more than very likely to die, on top of making coin guard money for fighting
I can't get over the adventurer pack dlc costume
its so good
merchant prince legendary set is better, though I wish I could find an upgraded version of it somewhere, it's only like quality level 67 and I found a quality 100 armor set
i dont know why people keep spewing this meme
it may not be deep but its responsive and enjoyable
its only brainless if you make it so for yourself
Is it possible to side with all the other nations against Thélème?
I've kept the hat the entire game.
where does one find it?
all i've run into is the bridge legendary stuff, but that was by accident
i've no idea how i got it in the first place
>tfw use nothing but blade and gun
>only sometimes break out stasis in some actually tough encounters in a 'forgive me master i have to use go all out' way'
>have loads of fun
because ships are heavily focused in the art and trailers.
>he associates himself with the ragheads
>he left the raghead scientist to be """"judged"""" by his butt buddies
Shut up faggot, it's $70 AUD. I ain't paying that for a single player RPG. That money goes to my mortgage. If they put a reasonable price on it I'd reconsider.
At one spot in the woods you'll have to pass for a quest there is a guardian in a clearing. Nearby after you kill it is a corpse of a merchant with a key, right down next to the stream from there is the chest it opens.
It is definitely a default De Sardet outfit
What i should focus when upgrading armor/weapons?
Armor or Balance?
Damage or Armor Pen?
I mean, is appeasing the caliphate even an option? I gave them the guy and they're still suspicious even now, and I've had no -rep and no opportunities to get rep with them.
It's weird, I thought the most difficult faction would be the catholics, but they're happy even when you lie to their faces on multiple occasions
The Technomancer wasn't good, how improved is this?
>congregation
>friendly
what
maybe i'm missing their side quest line
thanks
Is Mars War Logs as fun as this?
Probably not
Its on sale so I was thinking of getting it
