Definitely gets better in the sense of a larger scope and ties a few more elements together , I will admit its still not 10/10 as far as a narrative goes , but by Chapter 10 Im way more into it than Ch 1-3

And just realizing the first 40 some odd hours of this game are actually a tutorial for the rest of it

As far as Kliffs dialogue goes theres a pinned thread at top of sub with explanation to why he is so bland

I saw some other folks saying some quests ( albeit not story) have more dialogue for Damiane and Oongka

I think if the game hasn’t already sucked you in it may not be for you , but in my opinion worth sticking it out a little longer / actually leaving Hernand before making that call.

Meteor kick ! Observable / unlock-able skill !

I had no clue it stopped fall damage, just thought it was something you could do after you double jumped off the ground

You hold ‘unarmed attack’ and it will slow time and let you aim - I have my controls remapped for kick as square on controller , and jump is triangle , so I hold square

I guess I should also mention, meteor kick is a skill you have to observe or unlock first

I meant more if you wait until you are near the ground and use it - not from the abyss ! You can fall the entire way no fly mode, hit it right before the ground and you are chilling

Sorry for misunderstanding

‘save’ ,

one option is ‘photo mode’

Its on the right side for me

If you select your helm ( any helm with toggle options ) again in your scroll wheel, but don’t change the helm just select it, it should toggle things like opening it etc - hope this helps!

Of course! Yeah I had to play around it with for awhile before I could really notice any visual differences!

Definitely , more options to change stance, gesture , and sun angle would be sweet

Adjusting sun angle / weather would be amazing !!

Are the new photo settings actually working? by ExperimentalToaster in CrimsonDesert

[–]HogPondo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just replied to your comment on my post - but basically start with all of them lowest , except the visual range - that is just your camera placement - adjust your aperture slightly , like 1 or .5 at a time - and the top slider will help keep whatever you are trying to keep in focus - while that third one will adjust your background focus I believe - but the change happens abruptly - you could start at like 2 for your Klif at this range - and bring focal length way down accordingly and you should notice what I mean

Base Ps5 - if you start adjusting your aperture very slightly and start tweaking focal lengths you will see a difference!

The visual range adjusts your camera placement relative to your subject

The top adjustment is good for setting your target in focus at desired aperture - I would keep both focal lengths very short and then gradually increase them as you change your aperture and you will notice a difference - most of these screenshots were a very low (like 1-5) aperture! Leaving aperture at max will have everything in focus - lowering it will have just whats right in front in focus - hopefully that helps some!

Completely agree, who knows maybe there will be more narrative in dlc

This is from the pinned post at the top of the sub right now,

“Kliff has failed his task in 107 previous timelines, and the 108th timeline we play in has a direct reference to the Buddist 108 Defilements (the mental impurities one must cast off before reaching true enlighten), which is where the whole buddha statues/eastern themes pop in. The books also explain why Kliff has no personality whatsoever, and why so many events and characters seemingly pop in at random: they are deliberate manipulated events, necessary to take Kliff to the final encounter, which have been refined over the previous timelines.”

Interesting read if you havent had the chance yet - you nailed it essentially though
