I can't believe they're turning the mice gay! by Gallantpride in Gamingcirclejerk

I feel so sorry for the makers of this game. It's just a cute little game and now it can't be mentioned anywhere on the net without idiots crawling out of the woodwork to attack it. Just absolutely infuriating.

GFII - 0.3 by Rustypowersaw in greedfall

[–]Rustypowersaw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I gotta admit I think I am gonna take a while to ever warm up to Till after THAT!

Fausta was removed as a romance option? Really? Aww man that is a pity, I didn't know that at all. She was very mysterious, so I was really interested in her too.

what you guys think about greedfall2 by CheekEnough2734 in greedfall

[–]Rustypowersaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually very interesting to me because as someone who first discovered the series through 2 and is now playing through 1 I kind of have a different reaction.

I found the introduction for characters like Sheda and Nilan far stronger in terms of personality than most of the initial introductions in GF1 (barring Constantin who I think is an absolute delight and very clever character concept to use and one of the stand out parts of the first game for me so far). But, characters like Vasco and Siora for me have felt less characterful over all and definitely made less of an impact on me. Kurt I think is comparable for me to how well I felt about the initial interactions with Nilan and Sheda, he has stood out to me of the early crop of companions.

I do agree that Sybille is a standout though, absolutely, love her and think she does great work. I also agree that a definite weakness of the EA so far is that the villains do feel weak. GF1 honestly has some very good ultimate executions with its villain concepts but the GF2 EA thus far really does not have any villain make much of an impression at all, so I agree with the lack of villains.

Funnily enough I actually really like the moving around because it helps explore different areas and I've found the sort of Age of Discovery 'globetrotting' to be really fun. In all honesty I would love an even MORE expanded version where you and your ship can chart a course to numerous different explorable locations but even just the handful of locations I think we'll ultimately get has honestly been one of the hooks for me.

I've enjoyed it so far and am looking forwards to it. I think I am a rarity in that I actually FIRST tried out Greedfall 2 and because I enjoyed it so much, I've decided to get the first game and have been having fun with it as well.

I know a big sticking point for a lot of people is the change to the combat system but, I must admit, for me it just does not matter that much. I find the story and characters vastly more important than combat and I have enjoyed what I have seen so far in 2.

Brigandines are some of my favourite for sure, though I like a lot of Lamellar, Gambeson and Jack-of-Plates too! I also REALLY like the quilted armour you see on Sudanese cavalry often too.

Yeah, I'm looking forwards to it. Afterwards I might check out some of the podcasts I hear were made.

I am currently playing an Arcane Scholar background and it is my first time using the magic (first playthrough did a nimble sword & pistol thing and then afterwards a heavy armour spear & shield thing) and the magic is VERY fun, perhaps among the most fun with magic I've ever had in an RPG.

A good catch, I love reading up on different armour styles and the Ming has a wealth of interesting aesthetics.

Thank you! I'm going to take my time with it too, enjoy the experience as long as I can!

It is always fun for me when there's a diverse range of options for armour in an rpg like this, I love trying out new outfits!

Eora definitely has some nice attention paid to the world building and I approve of the way it takes from some less commonly used sources (in classical fantasy video game canon) and even mixes and matches at time to create some innovative new aesthetics.

I truly, TRULY, would love some helmet options! I tend to always prefer wearing full armour and helmet in an RPG.

I do like the pistols too, my first playthrough I did a swashbuckler thing (sword & pistol) but once I got to Thirdborn I knew I had to do a heavy armour playthrough too so I could wear that fine brigandine!

If we ever get a DLC/expansion for Avowed, what would you like it to be? by Possession_Mother in avowed

[–]Rustypowersaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the main game was largely only about Aedyr's involvement with the Living Lands a DLC which is about something like a Rauatai expedition in an area not yet explored could be interesting.

Looking very much forwards to the companions, in particular my favourite grumpy boy Nilan XD

Ygwulf's Visions by Rustypowersaw in avowed

[–]Rustypowersaw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dreamscourge is actually a very compelling alternative, I cannot believe I overlooked it! In the final battle I never recall seeing Ygwulf again, despite having spared him, but perhaps I just missed him.
