Is there a way to fast forward time? The night is full of terrors and too dark to see shit.

Find a bed to sleep on.

Anyone do that quest on the farm with the mentally challenged guy? I don't think I'll side with the Clerics (get rid of Elex? you're having a giggle mate) but I'm curious if it'll bite me in the ass later on.

In 9 hrs I've played this game, only night time I've seen is when I had to do it for a quest (Cleric one) and that too lasted till I had to talk to him.

Else I keep sleeping and set everything to morning, constantly. You can sleep in anyone's bed, unlike in Gothic where they would get pissed and wouldn't let you. Also, there are beds everywhere you travel. Not sure that's a good thing but I like questing in daylight instead of straining my eyes, so it's morning every few hours for me.

I'm currently in a foreign land with shit wifi, so I assume that the reception of the game went pretty good with the folks at World of Elex, correct?

Dunno about them, but damned if it ain't a good game, if codex impressions are anything to go by.

Read the whole thing, very nice thoughts. The way you describe the quest design reminds me of New Vegas, which is a good thing.

The problem is neither Witcher 3 and Dark Souls are "traditional RPG", so i don't know what was your point when i specifically mentioned aRPG, which ELEX and witcher 3 are.

Witcher 3 IS traditional RPG, it's one of few that refreshed the whole genre. Dark Souls is its own genre.

 

[Kahr]

Wow. The Hort has also a pretty nice atmosphere, reminds of Hammerites and Mechanists a lot.
Too sad the robots don't preach.

Sleep in a bed.

I tried it last night but this morning when I opened up the game it was still dark.

Spoiler

I tried campfire but not the beds At last sweet sunrise.

 

[Elex]

Anyone know where I can find a combat trainer? I really want the jetpack attack.

Cromag in Goliet

this is something i don't like: all trainer teach all the stuff of that category...

why the berserker than complain even when we check the forum on the wirst iphone teach us how to fight with a jetpack?

 

[ortucis]

Gentlemen and trannies, an average Steamtard:

Refunded it
Nothing like risen 1,2,3 or even arcania [gothic 4]

This game feels like 10 step backs in quality, clunky controls never seen it like before, the inventory is a ♥♥♥♥ing mess, movement of characters look like they been bonked from behind.
Everything is so wrong about this game, i played it 117 minutes, this game is unfinished, unpolished and this has nothing to do with risen or even gothic 4.

Its trash period.

- A Berserker asks you to find a missing patrol. Turns out the patrol is dead and the only survivor (who was sick and tired of the Berserkers and their laws) decided to run away and join the Outlaws. You can help him or you can force him to go back. Since the choice is connected to the Berserkers and the laws, it stops being an abstract choice between good and bad (help escape or send back) and becomes a very specific choice: is this man's personal well-being more important than the well-being of his comrades and the faction.

Such decisions do more to define your character than the character system and really draw you into the world. There are tons of quests (at least 300 based on the achievements) and many quests are very easy to miss as they could be 'hiding' behind some innocent dialogue comment that you decided to skip. Quite often something you thought was meaningless or flavor will turn out to be meaningful in some ways (either by unlocking some dialogue option with people that seemed generic and seemingly serving no purpose or by biting you in the ass in some ways).

How does one's choices navigating faction politics translate into tangible gameplay effects? Is there any point to being neutral or trying to have it both ways instead of committing to a faction?

whe you make certain choices appear a "NPC name will remember this"
so when you ask to the npc something he will react differently based on that.

I've been having cash issues, but I just pick pocketed every sleeping person I could find. The night guards all carry around 100 Elexit each. I could finally afford some stuff to buy. I also stole a sword with poison damage. Once I can use it, hope my sin was worth it.

 

[ShadowSpectre]

For those of you that want to maximize your attributes points and such, go see the separatists at the South Abessa Converter without provoking hostilities. If you go up a couple floors you can purchase the chem recipes for attribute and skill point elex boosters from an Alb merchant there. He also sells the good kind of elex so you can continue your path to elexation.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Is neutrality an option? Usually it isn't in Gothic games.

Sometimes you make a bad choice with a quest and you lose support to join a faction; lose too many votes and you're locked out. I wonder if you can get locked out of every faction?

 

[Jasede]

I don't think it's perma-permanent, unless you kill the faction recruiters.

For example, if you fuck up horribly with the Berserkers, you can get an alternative thing to redeem yourself. Imagine it's similar with other factions.

O rly? First thing I did when I walked into the hotel was piss off the leader's wife. lol. Then I poisoned the southern worker guys with moldy bread. I'm on a roll!

 

[Geckabor]

Did Alvar really die due to overdose on stims? Drog wasn't surprised when I said he was dead... is there any resolution to this? The quest is already over.

Yeah, after that there's a way to get yourself back in the good books. I did it, even promising an unspecified favour for a dude, because fuck me PB games are about melee

Eh..

It's hard for me to believe this is the same Vault 'All Games Without Turnbased Combat Are Shit' Dweller.
The shilling and rationalizations are:

> I'm a cool guy with muh <Insert Retro Reference to Articles of Clothing Here>
> This game is SOOOO HUGE
> There's so many quest solutions "Kill or Spare X"
> JETPACKS WOOO


I mean.. Name something this game does better than Fallout 4. Difficulty? Is shit combat considered good difficulty now?

What is with all the shilling? This is the same community that would tear other games apart for less. I'm disappointed.
