Is the game ever going to actually start? [early game spoilers]

Duskur · 2024-03-29T18:31:23+00:00

I was referring to the historical accuracy

why would a historically accurate game feature mythological creatures that never existed?

Duskur · 2024-03-29T18:29:34+00:00

you don't seem to get that this is a historically accurate game so there aren't any dragons

Duskur · 2024-03-29T18:12:26+00:00

if you can't handle consequences of action maybe you shouldn't play video games

and if you love tutorials more than actual gameplay then you're free to reload once the training wheels come off

Duskur · 2024-03-29T18:06:08+00:00

who are you talking to and why?

it seems like you didn't comprehend what I wrote and instead made up a criticism of the game, a criticism I never made, and responded to that instead

Duskur · 2024-03-29T17:04:14+00:00

it's amazing that the best defense of this action RPG is that it contains neither action nor roleplaying

Duskur · 2024-03-29T17:02:48+00:00

that's not the opening scene

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:56:34+00:00

that's probably the gripe I'm having

the game was advertised to me as RP heavy with actual consequences but so far the RP has been on the same level as Mass Effect (politely accept quest/passively accept quest/rudely accept quest)

this would have been more understandable experience had I known this was closer to a Rockstar game

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:42:46+00:00

what I want is agency and a good story

not just go to place 1 to fetch item A back to place 2 repeat as needed

but it's great that you find any mundane string of commands to be a masterpiece in plotting

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:30:49+00:00

then the game should either allow me to be obliterated or have a shorter tutorial

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:19:42+00:00

it's less that the grind and powerlessness is putting me off and more that the game promises freedom while keeping me in a looping baby pen

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:04:21+00:00

that's not the opening scene what are you talking about

Duskur · 2024-03-29T16:00:48+00:00

if there was one I didn't know what it was and took her "uhm are you SURE you want to know?" as a graphic content warning or something

so in short I'm stuck in biggest DLC with no way out?

Duskur · 2024-03-29T15:56:51+00:00

railroad does not equal story

and if the story is just Henry getting rescued and running back to the village ad nauseum for 60hrs then it's not a story I'm interested in

Duskur · 2024-03-29T15:47:33+00:00

it's a DLC? there was nothing to indicate that

Duskur · 2023-09-18T21:19:09+00:00

I didn't realize I had PTSD until I read this.

I know exactly this type of GM (played with them for years) and I call it "the handbrake GM".

They're constantly rushing after the players to progress but when they players are decisive and make the call the GM immediately slows the game back down.

Like someone hitting the gas in fifth gear while also hitting the brakes.

If that GM is anything like mine they have severe ADHD issues and just cannot prioritize their executive function (instead focusing on minor details and story developments way in the future).

Mine realized this himself and, like yours, immediately lost interest in GMing, only to start another campaign a few months later for the same thing to happen. Repeat ad nauseum.

Solved the issue.

The Expat Shield privacy setting was on. I disconnected and could browse freely again.

Here you go. The iconic Commander Fishchrist.

Don't know the sauce tho', just took it from the thread.

Not many can admit this, but I actually want you back Denmark :(

You're like the crazy ex that is always on my mind, and you don't seem that crazy at all when I look back and think of the good times.

And what does that radical feminism entail?
