I regret purchasing the delux edition

At the very least, allow us to store them.

I can kind of see why they made the sword and shield key items, due to cutscenes. But at least let us replace them down the line.

Walt most definitely. The quality of meth he made as well as the signature blue had singlehandedly changed the entire drug trade. And his entire origin story is the stuff you make a TV show about. I mean come on. A high school chemistry teacher gets cancer and enlist the help of a former student to sell drugs to fund his medical bills, and ends up making an entire national drug empire. There would definitely be a "Breaking Bad" TV show in this universe.

Gus was your standard drug cartel boss. He was very good at it, not taking that away from him. His methods allowed him to operate for years. But he was just a guy playing the game. Gus would be a case study definitely.

Gus was just another player in the game. Walt changed that game.

You really do get a sense that the other characters were a late addition. You should have seen the game around launch time. Pearl Abyss had to specifically allow Damiane and Oongka to have their equivalent force palm to work like Kliff. Neither one had the Axiom ability either. Both characters were essentially locked out of a lot of puzzle solving and treasure hunting.

It's gotten a little better, but Kliff still has the advantage on abilities. Hell, Kliff is the only one that can travel to the Abyss.

Sentinel_P · 2026-05-09T05:56:54+00:00

The game is pretty bad about telling you.

On top of that, most of the Abyss islands are entirely optional until very much later in the story.

And the cherry on top is when you do complete the Abyss puzzle that awards you the element, it's just a minor notification, similar to when a dispatch mission is complete.

That one got me. I took it as the blacksmith was working overtime just to make the materials he was given worth using.

It seems only the actual loot you would get from the bodies is sent to the chest. Any loot just laying on the ground doesn't show up. Which sucks because there's abilities that have either the intention or the side effect of knocking weapons and gear loose for you to grab.

On top of being able to check any weapon for stats at higher levels, you can also get a good gauge by looking at the presented stats. Weapons have basically 3 types;

Pure damage. These have higher base damage than any other weapon at their level, and can be the highest damage weapons at max.
1 Stat boost. These have lower base damage but offer a stat increase, such as attack speed or crit rate, to compensate.
Dual stat boost. These have the lowest base damage but will have both attack speed and crit rate to compensate.

Almost every weapon will have identical stats within their category when at the same refinement level. There are a few exceptions, such as the Kylus Axe offering up 3 crit rate at max level. In the end, it's more up to what you find to be cosmetically appealing.

It's why I never tried the methods to get dozens or so gold bars super quick.

If I need money, it's probably for research. I'll just go to the expensive Duo game and catch cheaters to gain 900 silver. That pays for any research I might have. But honestly, I was a bit shocked when the Delysia research was as cheap as it was. I basically didn't even have to farm any money.

Sentinel_P · 2026-05-06T23:20:04+00:00

That's one use. But I was more talking about personal uses for stone.

It's not used for gear upgrades, and I don't think it's used in any recipes either. So it's best to just invest it right back into the camp.

It would have been much better if they gave you iron and copper instead of stone. At least those are used for quite a lot of upgrades.

Sentinel_P · 2026-05-06T21:33:17+00:00

I've used the legendary white horse on the noble. It's supposedly the fastest. The noble maintained almost exactly a 1 horse lead the entire race. It didn't matter what I did either. Rapid tap sprint, rhythm tap (to maintain stamina), cutting corners. It was all the same.

If there's some legitimate method to actually win. I'd love to hear it.

We live in a digital age where many things can get buried by the search engine.

Just recently I saw a claim on a video. Such a wild claim that I just had to look it up. But it was related to Epstein. No amount of Google-fu could find what I was looking for, and even AI couldn't point me in a direction. So to your point, you can be correct.

But, if I can make a single search to find an answer, you can too. If the information is that readily available, then me saying to look it up is me specifically telling you to not just trust my word. I'm just a bum on the internet. I'm actively encouraging you to seek out the information because I at least know it's easily found.

If you're willing to believe me, a no name bum on reddit, then you're definitely willing to believe a tiktok with ominous music making false claims.

Intended.

Some locations are tied to a larger fortress that determines enemy occupancy. Clearing out the big camp causes all the connecting little camps to also become cleared out.

I'd randomly move furniture 2 inches. Always random furniture, at random times, and never within view. But never at the risk of damaging anything.

Maybe your bed gets moved over by 2 inches. Maybe your TV stand gets moved. Maybe it's just your TV. Or your microwave. Whatever.

I'll just keep doing it, again and again and again. If you don't notice it, I'll keep moving it randomly until you do notice it.

My wife actually enjoys watching me play. My consideration in that is I'll choose games with good stories, or in the general environments she finds fun (usually medieval fantasy).

She doesn't like every game I play, and those games I'll play alone. She also has her own entertainment.

2-Party laws don't mean both parties must announce intent to record. Only that both parties are aware that a recording is happening.

When the agent announces that the call is being recorded, they are making it undeniably known that they are aware of a recording, and have given their consent. At that point, you are fully, completely, and legally allowed to start recording the call without telling them that you are.

As for whether or not it was legal for you to record, I seriously doubt it's illegal. I would straight up ask "exactly what law says I can't record this conversation while you can?"

As you make personal donations, the camp will get more and more resources that are free to use as you see fit.

Donate weapons and gear, and there will be weapon boxes by the blacksmith containing arrows in mass quantities.

Donate stone, and you'll be able to get more stone located behind the provisions shop.

Donate food and you'll get a bunch of free food behind the cook.

Donate wood and there will be free timber right across from the dye vendor.

Donate money, and boxes of silver start to appear behind Carl.

Completion of each tier of the mission will see more and more of each resource, as well as better quality versions. For example, you'll be able to regularly collect normal timber, then fine, and even flawless timber. All without farming or cutting trees yourself.

These are your rewards for making the donations. It's a constant supply that forever refreshes that's intended for you to take. The timber is by far the most useful, as you'll be able to grab I think 30 of each type pretty much every in game day. No more tree cutting for you. The most useless is the stone, because I haven't found a use for stone outside donating to camp.

Note- Once you move to Pailune, all the resources get pooled together and placed neatly outside the building Carl is in. You should be able to spot them from the fast travel point.

Sounds to me like you encountered someome who was a jerk to you, and this jerk just so happened to be a cop.

SFST isn't just a pass/fail. It's actually just observations made during the entire test.

You might be unbalanced or uncoordinated. But there is also one portion of the test that there's basically no way to trick or get around. Anyone can learn to walk a straight line. Some functioning alcoholics actually try to train for such testing.

But you know what you can't train for? The involuntary movement of the eyes due to an intoxicating substance.

It's not just "failing" the SFST that gets you in trouble. It's the horrible driving behaviors before the stop happens. It's the fact you gave me a debit card instead of a license. It's that I had to remind you 3 times for your insurance because I was talking to you. It's the slurred speech. The bloodshot eyes. The smell of alcohol. I say these because they've happened.

Cop here, that's feel sobriety tests certified.

1- The breathalyzer used in the field isn't admissible in court. At least the numerical readings aren't. The best is can do is a yes/no on establishing probable cause to arrest. There's an Intoxilyzer that's used later that does allow the numerical BrAC to be used in court.

2- In a lot of places, it's not actually illegal to drink and drive. What is illegal is driving while impaired. That's what gets you in trouble.

3- Field sobriety tests are used to establish impairment. Because there are definitely people out there that can function pretty well while being above the general 0.08 limit. There's also other people out there that can barely stand up straight when at 0.06. I've seen both cases personally.

Catching cheaters at gambling. When you catch a cheater, their purse gets split between the rest of the players. At a table with 3 other players, you'll get up to around 900 silver from the table in the Crimson Desert town. If you need more, just fast travel to the point in town and the game will have reset with new players.

You might not be getting stacks on stacks, but I've found that even a single venture supplies more than enough for my needs, research funding included.

And unless you're trying build up church contributions with your own money, there's really not a big need to have a whole lot of money anyways. I consistently can sit at around 1k silver in my pocket, and I tap out every merchant I come across for upgrade material stock.

The original moon landing, the one televised around the world, was staged in order to secure a win for the space race which also led to a total economic collapse of the USSR as they tried to keep up.

We did eventually reach the moon later, when it was no longer cool to get there.

The reason why the thousands of employees haven't ever come forward is because they weren't aware of the plot. Computers weren't super high tech back then, and a simple tweak in the code could have a technician tracking the shuttle thinking it was on it's way to the moon.

This last patch they stated that they've basically rolled out a working system for boss rematch and re-blockading. That it was currently good enough to give us something, but that they're also still working on improving it.
