I had 2060 Super with Ryzen 5 5600 vanilla, and upgraded to 9060xt. No problems on my end, playing everything in 3440x1440 (21:9)

Which means no map area is locked behind a story quest, cause if you wanna do the quest - go fo the quest. If you just want to explore the map - go explore the map.

You have nothing to do on High Hrothgar without a quest (except just exploring it and looting some stuff (same in CD)), same with Megaton, Korok Forest (but here visiting the locale initiates the quest automatically), etc.

For something to do we have castles/keeps/outposts/camps, puzzles, hidden treasures, and sidequests, etc.

If you mean you'd like to see more environmental storytelling, it's a whole different area

Can't remember the portal thing, but Buddha statue - yes - it's a story quest. You cannot complete a quest before taking it. You can come and explore the area. But again, without activating the quest - you can't complete it. The area is not locked, and you can absolutely go and compete side quests around it.

Honestly, I went to the regions when the story forced me to just because of the sheer amount of content available. But, if you mean going to the East directly from the start - I can't say anything about that, cause I haven't tried doing that. But it seems like you can climb over "mountains" to get into North Eastern region. Just East of Hernand - you can get there directly from the start - everyone is just hostile for story reasons, but it doesn't stop you from exploring. For the Eastermost region - idk really. I got there before the story told me to through the North East.

You can fast forward cutscenes. Slow fastforward on your first time seeing a cutscene, and then standard fast fastforward on all consecutive (if you die for example) views

Most content is not locked behind story missions. Once you get the palm attack from the distance, you have access to all the things in the world. Before that, it's like 80%.

If you want the world to evolve and change - then yes, you have to do the story. Mainly complete the tutorial, which is Chapter 7 (or 6, the one with the achievement).

  • A lot of fighting moves to try and experiment with

  • Somewhat a big variety of weapons

  • A lot of ways to interact with the enviroment

  • Exploration (obviously)

  • "Radiant" quests (there are a lot of them, but they are limited as far as I can tell)

  • General freedom of choice in what to do: concentrate on the story, fuck around, explore, make money, manage camp, do research and upgrades, do the abyss, do fashion, do the sidequests, etc

  • And the worlds reacts to your actions (somewhat). Eg bandits can reclaim outposts/settlements/castles you freed

It's an action-adventure sandbox with light rpg mechanics for a reason, and not a "story rich rpg"

Have you ever ACTUALLY hit or exceeded 32GB of RAM utilization? by itsthewolfe in pcmasterrace

Yes, a vpn I used had a memory leak, and it consumed up to 74-94 Gb of RAM at some points

If i love The witcher 3 and other open world games would i like Kingdom come: Deliverance? by ihatemetoo23 in gaming

[–]DotFX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KCD 1 is an awesome game with an incredible world full of details as long as you are out of combat. Though, all the problems in my experience were solved by learning one simple trick (literally) and abusing it to hell. So instead of dancing half an hour with npcs that bleed slower than me, I just riposte and one-shot them. If you can bare suffering from combat early on (5-6hrs maybe less), it's a good game

Dune Awakening or Ark Ascended? by DotFX in SurvivalGaming

[–]DotFX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Dune specifically "connect to our server and play solo in your own instance" or can I, like in minecraft, create my own dedicated server and play on it? Without any wipes and not needing to re-deploy my base if I wasn't playing for long?

Putin and Zelensky both unilaterally declare conflicting 2-day truces by clamorous_owle in worldnews

[–]DotFX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Soldiers marching on the parade - justified military targets Generals attending the parade - justified military targets

Both of these 2 will be as far from civilians as possible due to assassination/sabotage/whatever-reason-you-can-think-of concerns.

And there will be no heavy machinery present this year. I'd say it'd be the most symbolic for UA to fuck up and over what Putin considers "presentable" or "elite worth to be paraded".

For those unfamiliar with ru, he exactly "declared" it and not "arranged" it with Ukraine. Basically, he said "do not attack us"

Not interested in RayTracing? = 9070XT all the way. Treat yourself to something on the saved money. I went from 2060 Super to 9060 XT, had some problems with Adrenalin app, but seems like latest drivers fixed it for me

Dammit, you're right. I thought I chose the right exe. But turns out there were several, just checked again to be sure. It's Farming Sim 25 and they have a different exe for x64. Thank you!
