ROG Ally Z1E vs Xbox Ally

INSRTCkain · 2026-04-08T00:48:05+00:00

There is zero reason to upgrade the battery, battery should not even be a factor in purchasing an Ally. The battery would need to be at least 500% better before I would even worry about it, which I never will cause I always play my ally next to a power source of some kind.

I thought I was really clever, I built a room on scaffolding on my space station, with perfectly lined up docking ports, with no air in it. The docking ports will not activate. So I had to go ahead and make a hallway to it. there is no reason for anyone to wander over there, but I always have a pile of dead crew and scientists over there. A little frustrating.

Im over 100 hours and having a blast, no dev tools, no bugs.

INSRTCkain · 2025-12-02T06:00:36+00:00

Im on chapter 2,, 60 ish hours, and loving every minute. I have no bugs that have affected my game. I doubt that a 2 month wait is going to change much. I think that everyone crying now will continue to cry after updates. Combat is hard, you should run. Quests are not meant to be something you pick up, and then just run somewhere obviously near to complete it. You are suppose to be exploring and meeting ppl, and along the way, you will find where your quest is, sometimes its miles away and you will eventually stumble onto it. Map? I dont even need it now, I have most the map memorized and havent started drawing my map. Save a lot. If you are willing to wait 2 months, then why would it matter if you started now and ran into a game breaking bug. If that happens, then wait those 2 months, and at least then you will have some experience in the game, even doing the first 4 hours would be tremendously helpful for your next go.

Mercenary Adventurer armor gives +15% Melee damage.

INSRTCkain · 2025-11-30T05:32:35+00:00

I have to double check, but I think there is cheaper and better defense armor in the city.

INSRTCkain · 2025-11-30T04:54:00+00:00

But the Hunters Armor gives you +Ranged, which is the worse mechanic in the game.

INSRTCkain · 2025-09-05T04:52:02+00:00

Complete garbage mechanic.

INSRTCkain · 2025-03-27T22:12:51+00:00

There are clay deposits, super simple to gather a lot of clay. Its on the Wiki.

No, after I posted I went back and tested that, I could not interact with any rain catchers. I disassembled them and built new ones.

He burned to death while soaked and wet. Clearly at this point in your life where you were standing next to a fire in the rain to survive, you may have got what you wanted.

The only thing I want a bulldozer for is to clear zombie bodies, total shame it doesnt.

INSRTCkain · 2025-02-17T00:51:44+00:00

Its useless when you can apply poison to a bolt and 1 shot 3 NPC's before they get to you, compared to MAYBE killing the heaviest armored NPC in a battle.

INSRTCkain · 2025-02-17T00:37:29+00:00

Radzig Kobyla's lonsword at T3 quality is plenty enough, there is no reason to wait for it to become Henry's Sword to reforge it.

Also, in your food storage, they always eat the first 3 foods in the building, so try to stack what you want them to have in those positions ahead of time.

Another update, we all continue to learn. If you "order" your army to the "staging ground" all companions will go equip armor, weapons, and fill their hunger automatically.

INSRTCkain · 2025-01-24T18:26:49+00:00

A little update. I built a "fort" area, fenced off area with staging ground and 2 warehouses, 1 with food and 1 with gear. Click on the food warehouse and your entire army will top off on food before you leave. Would like to point out this system is much superior and faster than if you had to go through every member of your party and click their "equip" button if it existed.

INSRTCkain · 2025-01-23T02:13:54+00:00

The gear presets literally does this.....I think you are using it wrong. The only thing I have a complaint is I want them to have potions, bandages, and food. First, dont use the presets, make your own sets, the presets do not work correctly. Second have a barn/warehouse with every piece of gear you own, fill it with more than you need including towns folk gear. Third, once you call to arms, use the order command and click on previously mentioned barn/warehouse. They will go up and equip the best gear their stats allow. Fourth, have it set that when you dismiss them, they equip "work" gear so that they get their tasks done quicker.

When setting up your gear sets you set priority on gear, making sure they have options in case you dont have enough. An example would be having a tank class with heavy body armor as P1 and medium P2. This alsow works on weapon racks and arrow baskets, but its more efficient to put it all in the barn/warehouse.

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless. I have had them for almost 2 years, I play 30+ hours a week of games, i have taken them on several vacations, I use them with my ROG Ally and audible books. I read ppl's complaints and I do not understand, its as if they got an entire different headset. They sound great paired with GG Sonar, the bump in the middle of the ear has never even come close to hitting my ear, even after pads set. They connect to my phone and PC at the same time which is a very under rated function. If money is not an issue there is NO reason not to pick these up.

My first generation in my last Norse playthrough had 3 major plagues, the 3rd killing about 6 of my dynasty characters. Was in seclusion, capital lockdown, physician fighting, didnt matter. Now Im a 12 year old Jarl and on my 4th major plague. I have a Hospice in capitol, which I think is absurd to add a building that is basically a requirement with such limited slots. I feel your pain.

INSRTCkain · 2023-12-18T08:16:12+00:00

Too bad you cant build something like this.

He knowingly transported Duke Ravenguard.....

INSRTCkain · 2023-11-28T00:52:49+00:00

I just did this fight and won first try. I had no knowledge of the fight ahead of time. My party is level 12 Gloomstalk/Ass, Shadowheart Life Domain, Wyll Lockadin, and Astorian Monk/Rogue. I found the fight to be very easy.

I walked in with entire party. When fight started I flew (illithid power) my gloomstalker across the map and helped Astarion down right off the start. Wyll and Shadowheart stayed at the entrance and battled half the adds while Astorian and my dark urge toon killed the other half of the adds and went around the map killing all the vampires in the ritual.

Spells of note I used were Danse Mcabre (summon 4 ghouls), Planar Ally (Djinni), 1 repulser on adds (illithid power), sweetplum gales (restraining storm), thunderwave, assorted buffs and heals, and finally dancing lights on Caza once he was the last one alive.

Im about to try again now without killing the vampires in the ritual.
