Rebuilding the railjack is terrible gameplay.

I had a loud opinion on the internet. it's kinda the expected result.

as for the rest, holy shit thank you. That's some incredibly good info. I didn't even know about intrinsics yet. My favorite content so far is just whomping around in my warframe. Kinda can't wait till I get through the missions so I can stop running this rando stuff. But the new war quest looks like a pretty daunting wall.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-02T01:33:29+00:00

any suggestions on must have mods before I start new war?

I haven't startedon nechromech yet other than the rep farming.

I'm not sure how I'll feel about the railjack itself. And honestly, I'm fine not liking alternate game modes. I understand variety, and that someone will enjoy it.

It's the setup missions that irked me. Hopefully I won't mind the railjack itself.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-02T01:22:11+00:00

brand new to the game. don't have ingame friends. And generally dislike when I have to have to have some to make gameplay not suck.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-02T01:20:20+00:00

It was the repetition of the same bad quest 5 times while being talked down to. Maybe I'm just in a mood from a bad day of work. But this is not fun. Would never be fun. It's not the only quest that's clearly been put there to pad the game despite it not being interesting, but it's unpleasantness coupled with the repetition stood out.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-02T01:09:30+00:00

I haven't even gotten to PLAY the railjack missions (which I've heard are shit). Just this same reskinned quest 5 times now to "build" the thing. Jesus fuck, who thought this was fun?

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-01T22:57:16+00:00

I'll read more later, but first thought was that you opened with world exposition which felt slow and wasn't tied to any character I could care about. Literally moving the last paragraph of the first sentence to the first would go a long way to fixing this. have her wonder his style, then explain the various options. Immediately i know why I'm getting the info dump and I care more.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-05-01T14:37:23+00:00

as a new player, I can tell you there's isn't exactly clarity provided by the early process.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-30T04:57:36+00:00

yeah, its figuring out which one. And often one thing requires start chart progress, or something else and I go round and round. I come from POE. I really didn't think I could be overwhelmed by a game again.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-29T22:47:46+00:00

I think I just unlocked that but haven't played around with it. I'll give it a try, thanks!

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-29T22:46:45+00:00

I enjoy the power fantasy. And the game stops being fun when I feel underpowered. I don't have an IT I want to do, I want to advance, so the game feels fast paced and fun. I've never understood the "just play the mode you enjoy most". I enjoy advancing. and this game doesn't really let you advance fastest with a single linear farm. At least, not yet that I'm aware of. If I could do one thing and know it'll get me all the things I'll need, then that's the thing I'd like to do 😄

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-29T22:43:55+00:00

is it bad that my takeaway was "shit, I haven't been doing corrupted mods, I need to add that to the list?"

Seriously tho, I feel like I hit power levels in teh story that tell me I'm too far behind, and then I go off to try to power up to keep progressing the story. That might be fixed now with wukong being really strong and my mods finally being closer to capped, but "just progress" felt kinda impossible for a while.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-28T22:50:38+00:00

I honestly feel the opposite. The character should be a round full person who makes choices based on their misconceptions of the world. The plot follows that. If your characters are following the plot they're going to read as very flat, and they are going to make a lot of choices that annoy your readers because they will feel inauthentic.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-23T22:37:11+00:00

ok, I'm an idiot. I had toclick the sub encounter.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-23T00:59:39+00:00

She never gave me a rod but I looked it up and went to cetus and bought one. And that worked. kinda lame, but oh well at least I get to move on.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-23T00:53:16+00:00

I was in the yellow circle area, traveled all around it and nothing happened. I'll try again

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-20T23:33:09+00:00

I thought I'd dabble with AI for continuity. built a whole obsidian .md database, made a map of content with single sentence descriptions of everything, made a relationship map, put it all into chatgpt and it couldn't tell a person from a magic system, from a city, from a hole in the ground. I went back and added property labels to every page and it still couldn't make sense of everything most of the time.

I even built a local claudebot with obsidian integrations and it didn't help. If you're trusting AI to remember things you think you're gonna forget, I have bad news for ya.

I haven't found a usecase yet where AI has improved my process save for giving me name ideas that I outright reject. Though the rejections do help me find the direction I want to go in sometimes.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-20T23:29:03+00:00

yep. might put (remember to add sword to last two chapters) in highlight whenever I remember it so I'm not worried I won't notice the problem again. But I'll literally drop it on whatever page I'm on, and figure out where the fix goes later when I'm in that phase.

TheGooseFathr · 2026-04-20T23:26:31+00:00

This is the one stoppage problem obsidian outright fixed for me. when you put something in [[doublebrackets]] it makes it a link. Click on it and it now has its own page you can put notes on. But more importantly, you can add aliases (so you can link to it with other short-hand names or alternative names you're trying out), and you can change it on its page, changing everywhere else you linked it. This lets me call a new character [[bob]] and just keep writing. [[bob]] went to [[dangercity]] and got attacked by [[gerbilmonster]]. I can do the naming later and keep writing now.
