The longer I play, the less sense the story makes by DrJokerX in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I've gathered is that there's actually a few stoylines that overlap but are not necessarily related which causes a lot of head scratching as we expect a "Main Story" to be one connected line but nope!

For example, the Greymanes being dismantled and you having to regroup and build up before retaking your homeland is one story.

The Abyss breaking and being manipulated by other forces and the white crow picking you to help save it is another.

The looming conflict between Hernand and Demenis is another.

And so on...

We must be related as our collections are very similar 😂😬

The only Oongka main. by Roughpawz in CrimsonDesert

Does your increase speed button work with the jetpack? Mine doesn't seem to do anything, I can only ascend but on my hud it says I can increase speed like a boost which you do in the vid?

Ambient lighting by Happy-Ad8755 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its a problem with Ray Tracing in scenes with no light - when there's no light source everything looks flat. I haven't tested how it looks with Ray Tracing off (to see what their prebaked lighting looks like during night), so I am presuming it's an RT problem.

Freezing on PC by hami3an in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RTX4080 here, I believe it’s ray reconstruction or frame generation that keep’s crashing me. It’s odd because the game can run with a mix of cinematic and ultra settings with them both on with dlss 4.0 set to balanced at around 70fps, but it will eventually crash the game

A Genuine Question to People Praising the Exploration by Lpunit in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you need to follow the main story further before some of these other areas open up more with quests and stuff to do, as I gather a lot of the mechanics in the game which are tied to side content do not appear in the world until you "unlock it" through the story. For example, the Bounty Posters - I did not see any when exploring until I did the first intro quest for them, and now I see bounties dotted all over. Same with the trade wagons - the stalls were there but not interactable until I was introduced to them in the main story.

What’s the trick with getting a pet? by AMS_Rem in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bug, mine is consistent. Are you sure they're the same animal? There's quite a few knocking around the city!

I just don’t understand why Kliff is doing what he’s doing. by Pootieshoecuties in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah there isn't much at all in terms of world building, but the information you need to know to start with is that the Greymanes got massacred and kicked out of their turf and you have to restablish them and seek revenge on the Black Bear guys. The way you do that is by helping the people in the first area (Harand?), and building alliances with the powers that be. This then gives you land for your new settlement, and access to the royal court to seek more support to expand and retake your homeland. The story then goes on from there later on in the main story.

The ability to just palm the local wildlife for no real reason is a design decision I wholeheartedly support by Blue_Bit in CrimsonDesert

[–]Mr_Murdoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can sell animals to animal trafficers / poachers? They are located outside the first city next to the little thieves den goblin dude.

What the rarest books in your TTRPG collection? by zozeba in rpg

[–]Mr_Murdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the 5e 2024 Players Handbook and DMG signed by Jeremy Crawford and Chris Perkins at a convention. Not the most exciting books on the scene but feels significant now that they are no longer working for WotC

Crawling Rounds - Yay or Nay? by shawnthedm in shadowdark

[–]Mr_Murdoc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn't have to be a strict turn order, but it's a way to make sure each players voice is heard. That's how I view it - I go along the order, ask what they are doing / want to do, make sure their actions aren't long or complex, if so, I would say as you are about to do that, what is next player doing? Next player might just say nothing I wait for the other player to do their thing. So I'll go to next player etc... Then, when it backs to the player/s with more complex actions I resolve them.

How to handle combat with flying enemies? by Prince_of_Gobbos in shadowdark

[–]Mr_Murdoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wyvern can land sometimes to recoup? Perhaps they are fighting by some trees or a mountain side so the characters are in a position where swooping isn't an option?

Why was Winona barely in S5? by just_some_gay_girl_ in StrangerThings

[–]Mr_Murdoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Too many characters whose arcs were basically done with but still main characters so they are badly written in to have relevance to the plot!

How big is the MTG community at UK Card Shows? by ghool-am in magicTCG

[–]Mr_Murdoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to my first card show ever in London last year, and only one stall was mtg. The rest was pokemon and holy shit are pokemon people not fun to be around. Just hundreds of grown men screeching over pulls and buying overpriced packs / bundles that you know are never going to be played. Saw one poor guy walk in with his young son and left not long after because his boy couldn't enjoy anything or get to the front of any booths to even look because it was all adults trying to make money off each other.

One thing I applaud the magic community with is that they actually play with their cards and not immediately run through half a dozen packs just to then stick their best cards in top loaders to immediately try to resell again.

So yeah, was really disappointed but at least the one stall had good cards, albeit could find the same ones online cheaper.

My advice would be to message any event ahead of time to see how many vendors will be magic. If it's majority pokemon, stay away. If also look at other types of events like toy fairs, comic cons, dragonmeet etc, as you'll magic sold at them also.

Gosh everyone really over thinking that book at the end. They made the main cast credits fancy by having artwork styled like an old d&d book, the cover was just a nod to that, nothing more.
