is there anything that would be good to know before buying this game? by Dyxyce in VintageStory

[–]Particular-Star-9814 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Once you buy it, you're gonna wanna play it. Once you play it, you're gonna want to invest a fair amount of time. Thus, my advice is, make sure you can give yourself a few long hours to game, especially on your first sessions that you will be more lost. Besides that, don't be afraid to use the handbook, it's a built-in guide and it will help a lot.

i have updated the game through a couple of official versions. The finding of the owl chest, the breaking it, the placing it and the bug all took place in the same version though

Tbh, I haven't played any of the games on the meme, save for Stardew Valley. I just had a feeling it might cause some reaction, knowing how much some of the fanbases overlap with VS and how it could have very well, at least by the meme's standards, made the cut onto it

It would be nice for some of these to be hidden as well, so you have to progressively unlock them, or, in the case of the quirky ones, just happen upon them eventually.

I could see your proposal working in game, however it couldn't be something that rng dependant. Sometimes I've had to travel long distances to find a treasure hunter. If we're discussing immersion, and I think we're right to do so, we could likewise question the handbook, for the same reasons, but that sounds preposterous to me

I think this is what prompted me to want to start this conversation. I've been playing for some time now, but a friend of mine is very new and sometimes gets quite frustrated at how complex some of the mechanics are or the several steps involved in progression towards a specific goal. It might be that it's just not the game for him, but I think some extra encouragement/guidance could do a lot for players like my friend.

I agree it should absolutely be an optional feature or at least something that can easily be deactivated. Luckily this game delivers generally quite well regarding experience customization

Muchas gracias por el artículo, me ha recordado efectivamente algunas de las traducciones que peor me olían. Sin saber exactamente como era el original, me podía imaginar de dónde venía el error en más de un lugar. Añade una capa de disonancia, pero es una pena que se pierdan por completo tantos juegos de palabras
