    Eternity Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire + DLC Thread - now with turn-based combat!

    I finally figured out what really bothers me about Tyranny and POE. For the most part cut scenes have been replaced by text. This is inherently jarring because video games are closer to film than literature. Playing a modern crpg that uses text do flesh out flashbacks or worse scenes that are...

    Review RPG Codex Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    You hit on spot on the head. The Velen main campaign is so damn good and raises one's expectations so high that the mediocrity of the latter parts of the game are glaring for anyone who played at least 200 hours like myself for my first time around. And honestly because of the drawn out manner...

    Review RPG Codex Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Are you fucking kidding me? I cared about Baron at the end of that questline more than any other character in the game (jonny is a close second). The dialogue is especially weak in the latter parts of the game. Philip has the best lines given to any character. For the Novigrad MC you're chasing...

    Review RPG Codex Review: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

    Why aren't more people saying this? Velen is the only 1/3 of the game worth playing meaning your have to slog through the confusing and poorly written skellige/novigrad content. and honestly I feel the game should have ended after Velen's main story. I can't be made to give a single unmolested...

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    The scary thing is you might actually be right. First I hear that you'll likely miss quests that get cancelled if you advance the main quest to far then I hear that to prevent overleveling from side quests gray quests aren't supposed to give you xp? One of the reasons POE was mediocre after I...

    For all the senseless looting in this game Im forced to buy the alcohol for making whitegull...wtf. Not that money is even a problem in this game. Ive slowly amassed a king's ransom with nary a thought as to how to spend it. Yet I hear that there are individuals who are actually broke?

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    SO it seems like a lot of POI quests are bugged, like the blacksmith in a cage on Skellige, actually there's another npc in a cage in Novigrad that I couldn't find the key for. And now there's a hidden treasure POI that I can't find the key for. I really hate unfinished quests in my log even if...

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    I think a lot of people are missing the source. The biggest problem isn't enemy HP bloat and the weird artificial damage reduction you get for fighting something more than 5 levels above you. Its the lack of character and level progression that comes from garbage skill trees and and leveled loot...

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    1.04 has the most pitiful changelog I've ever seen. I might even skip it if not for the rebindables. Why was it even locked to begin with. Performance wise the game runs like butter on a 7970 with ultra 1080p minus vsync hairworks and a little foliage; I'm even getting away with HBAO+. They...

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    I understand the point about the POI marks; however I left them on since the real problem isn't POI it's the missing FOG OF WAR! With POI turned off and the somewhat sameness of the geography I'll end up just retracing my steps over and over again not ever really being sure if I've covered the...

    Is my screen dirty or is there a dirty camera lens effect?

    More complaints/oversights/cudos - books should be marked as read + i like the theft system Gtaesque in the sense that you get no penalties if you can elude the authorities - Auto sheathing in the middle of a fight...cannot be disabled - the witcher sense is an annoying design choice but...

    The Witcher 3 Pre-Expansion Thread

    Not much mention of horse combat. I found it servicable And at times quite fun. Roasting bandits off their saddles is for the lulz. I also like combat variation between monsters. Dodge and roll usage totally depend on the types of monsters youre up against and to a lesser extent if youre a heavy...
