fuck, that's the auger, that's all it is

lame

oh is that the mystic one

I picked the scholar one, and it's nothing

i didnt remember the name

yeah, that's auger, you're the kings pet mystic

yea no thats all the lines

or "I seem to be magically important to this scenario hmmm..."

maybe there's more later

it's also go the bioware/Fallout problem of the dialogue trees are less descriptive than I'd like

not the worst I've seen

but there are a few I've had where the tone is ambiguous

i think thing about dialogue to me, and its one of those nerd things 99% of people wont care about

i hate that i cant just talk to people or ask them about the scenarios or wht they think

I like that they wrote a lot of dialogue for certain characters, but yeah the idle chatter is nothing

even moreso after the port, where they at least frontload some people with things to say

im one of the 3 people int he world that actually enjoys going up to every npc and asking them what they think of the situation, the world, poltiical etc.

and litearlly ZERO random npcs have dialogue past whatever quest they do

or its youasking them a question about themselves personalyl

im sent here on an investigation and i cant investigate

wild

you get it from the named characters, and I found it fairly substantial, but yeah nothing from all the NPCs

well yeah but thats the main story

no I mean like, what they think of events and stuff

you do get some of that, though a lot of it they always tie into their background

yes I know, the main path has some of it- but that's all the main path

and it's always

yea

its about THEM

yeah

my favorite part of the story so far was telling the crystal to fuck off, and it exploding

also the game should just tell you to reboot if you change any settings

changing any setting gives you like -10 fps sometimes more

because it does really agressive shader computation i guess

on boot

the settings are scuffed, and I think are flat-out not working right

the in-game menus are good thankfully, no random Starfield lag

though I need game devs, every single one of them to hear me on this

STOP PUTTING "NEW" ASTRICKS NEXT TO EVERYTHING

starfield lag was them never having anyone that plays video games, playtest it

for preformance

Max, idk how dumb the average gamer is, but if they need to know that the random note they picked up was new, and it's got an annoying gold astrisk next to it until you scroll over it

IMO

i like it when its only the first time you open the inventory

if youre opening it, youre going to it probably

if not, clear it on close

yep, that fixes it

i like games that do it like that, as long as its synced with your actual inventory

and not synced with clicking the tab

I don't think tutorials need it, also idk why their tutorial is where the games codex should be

I've noticed more games coppying the gacha formula, of having the most basic bitch tutorial book in the menu now

and honestly , I just don't know who it's for the odds you miss a mechanic, but know enough how to look it up via the tutorial menu list thing

feel like a long-shot

well

they dont teach you any of the combat mechanics

it's not the biggest issue, I just have ocd and feel the need to constantly clear all the new markers from it

hey friend, did you know that the spear you just picked up lets you attack from further away!?!?!

i also have so many movement speed +10% items

that i wonder if i get more

if the game can even handle it

you can get out of bounds fairly easy in this game too

from the number of random things I've been able to scale

i really hate the upgrad system

it makes me not want to upgrade my weapons

because a unique one will show up

I've just been picking up uniques

yes

if you could refund id upgrade more

I'm glad respecing is cheap btw

its cheap because

its probablance balanced around removing all your early skill points

and moving them deeper in the tree

I was noticing that

which is fine, idk how to make skill trees not shit

other than how Diablo did it sorta

like grim dawns appaK

where every time you level up, you're strongly incentivised to rotate skills

i like grim dawns because its spend a point to "upgrade" your class, unlocking the ability to buy new abilites buying new abilites upgrading your previous abilities and everything scales perfectly so if you want to dump all your points into one ability, its viable and you can do the entire game with one really stronga ability, or spread them out and be equally as strong + multiclassing another skill tree

its a nice system.
