Liked your review. Did you by chance get to evaluate the One X version?

The copy/paste locations and low enemy variety are major downers for me.

Have you played an Assassin's Creed? Seriously though, this is to be expected with AA games and honestly it doesn't seem too bad at all.

I'm absolutely getting this. I really enjoyed The Technomancer, the game was far from perfect but it had soul and an interesting setting.

You're not wrong, but it's still disappointing.

Enjoyed your review. One question though. You said the quest design was very good and varied. How do they compare to say, Bioware or CDProjektREd?

I've been interested in this game ever since I got an video ad for it a few weeks ago so will be keeping an eye on people's opinions which may make me bite. Got way to many games in my backlog atm to get it day one.

I will probably get it around November. I decided to get it some time ago after watching the official gameplay footage and the last launch trailer. I would have got it regardless of its reviews since i don't care about them personally (no offense to any GAF reviewer).
As expected its "flaws" are due to its relatively limited budget and the ambition of the developer more than anything else.I hope it sells well enough to justify a sequel with a bigger budget. I need more games with a similar setting and atmosphere.

I REALLY NEEDED THIS GAME TO DELVE INTO RACE, GENDER EQUALITY, AND WHY DAVE CHAPPELLE’S MOST RECENT STANDUP IS SO SUCCESSFUL WITH VIEWERS

Nice... but right now I'm more in the "$15 every other month" tier as far as gaming spending goes.
As soon as I'm back on a regular income I'll catch up on all of the stuff I've been missing

Started it this morning, 2 maybe 3 hours in, controls still feel a bit foreign but the starting town is nice, quite open ended feel to the quests that i like. thinking of starting again to up the difficulty from normal tho feels too easy at normal.
EDIT: So you can change difficulty as you go. 6h in, still having fun.

How do people compare it to say the OG Mass Effect trilogy? I'm dying for a similar RPG with a great narrative and character choices I can really get emotionally invested in. Cheers

I liked Technomancer. It kept me engaged and was more enjoyable that the cookie cutter AAA bullshit I still play.
Gonna give this one a go.

The game really does have an early 2000s BioWare feel to it. And I mean that in the best way possible.
The writing is great for one. The exploration is extremely satisfying. Skill choices actually mean something.
Liking it a bunch so far.

How's the story/character choices? Classic Bioware?

I’m still in the intro area knocking out side quests before I head to where the game starts proper, but yeah it just has an old, awesome feel to it.

No issues here. Game is actually smooth but can get a bit janky

Been playing this for a couple days now. Shame we don't have an OT for it. It's a pretty solid RPG even despite having its fair share of flaws.

Performance with newest Nvidia patches is great with a 1080. But make sure your drivers are uptodate. Before it was a fucking mess^^
As for the game. I like the world, I like the characters, the Quests, Story etc. But I fucking hate the battles, OMG Not only must you spend Skill points to even be able to dodge roll but somehow the auto lock function does not work at all as meele character. I died on extreme so many times because of the dodging was not working. With level 12 it seems it is actually much easier to play it Batman style which means parry all the time and barely attack yourself.
Also is it me or are my companions REALLY REALLY weak. They now basically die in one hit and somehow I can not give them skills etc. Or i missed this feature. Also unlock lockpicking level 1-3 as fast as possible or else you will have a ton of chests you will not be able to open.
But yeah everything except the battle sytem is great^^

Picked this up on a whim, it's pretty good and scratching that bioware itch in a lot of ways.
Voice acting is solid, and graphics punch above their budget. Gameplay has some eurojank but considerbly less than previous Spiders titles, has quite a few deep and interesting systems to sink your teeth into, crafting and clothing customisation is fun.
Would recommend it, even at full price.

Been a joy to play. Very relaxing to play on a headset. Battle system takes some getting used to. Graphics are nice at times. My only complaint is so much walking from place to place, with too much emptiness. I wonder how intentional it was, in order to have the relaxing feel between hardcore dialogue sessions?
Overall an 8 of 10 from me.

Yeah I'm about to quit the game because of this. I couldn't wait to get out of the main city and then start exploring outside. Then I get introduced to this weird fast/travel + exploration system which kept killing the pace. The mission markers are deceptive too. I wasted an hour trying to get to proceed with the story a bit - and hardly got anywhere besides killing beasts on extreme. Way too much walking around senselessly it seems.
Wish it just had a big map to explore instead of the on and off fast travel.

On point. It is a weird fast travel system for sure. I find I get less annoyed when I play the game no longer than 2-hour sessions. This enables me to enjoy the relaxation of it. The map system is a bit odd too, very easy to go in circles, or go after all the "?" marks, and end up sidetracked. The part I think u were at is........go to Native Leader 1, work towards an alliance.....go back to the city, get a pass for the native to enter city, go back to Native leader, leave and go to Native leader 2, so that free trade can happen. Meanwhile, all you are thinking about is staying on course with the mission you wanted to begin with. Of course, I just articulated this about as lazy as one can, devoid of any context, but I think you know exactly what I am talking about. I hope you try smaller doses instead of quitting the game. Let me know what you end up doing my friend.
