Yeah this looked dope. I legit thought this was death stranding 2 at first. Until they started swinging a weapon lol. Definitely keeping my eye on this one
Yeah, I get not wanting to get too hyped about games ahead of time, but it feels like these days people are online to look for the next game to get angry about.
If you enjoy crpg’s, definitely. There’s a lot of player agency and the companions are for the most part interesting to talk to. Completing every quest will you burn you out fast, but if you just finish the ones that seem interesting to you you’ll have a good time. DLC is pretty hit or miss though.
I’d say so. The biggest selling point is the Origins-system itself and the player agency from both that and your gameplay choices. The extent to which your chosen Origin affects the game is staggering and very few games (perhaps none?) has even attempted something similar. I can tell you this, it puts the “background” choice in Cyberpunk to shame.
The overall plot is fairly standard-fare boilerplate fantasy stuff but the world is decent and the companions are mostly very enjoyable, though some are more well-written than others. Alistair is - in my opinion - one of the best companions Bioware ever produced. Morrigan is also a great character.
The combat is okay, RTwP is a divisive system and I personally think it lacks the depth of Baldur’s Gate II (though I always play the latter with Swoard Coast Strategems). I installed some mods that expanded the built-in “Tactics” function that lets you set triggers for your companions to execute actions, and I had great fun in programming my party to play itself with me completely hands-off.
It’s a fair bit dated low, but also by far the best of the three IMO.
The second was quite good in a lot of ways but also very obviously super rushed and partially unfinished.
And then the third was just a sad grindathon with a Dragon Age mask pulled over it. Some good ideas again but covered in the worst gameplay of the three.
Some of the promotion animation videos are amazing. I wish they would link to them in-game so no one misses them (like me because I don’t care about YouTube).
The proportions are weird (everyone is much taller than 2 blocks), the extremely saturated world looks weird, the green-screen looks awful, why the hell is Jack Black Steve
Man all I want is the ability to own more than one freighter so I don’t have to give up my Star Destroyer to get a pirate dreadnaught.
That and having a galactic empire fleet would be sick asf imo
But yeah I think World’s Pt. 2 was quietly delayed over the summer, as a YouTube video I was watching pointed out that the article announcing Part 1 used to say Part 2 was coming later this summer before later chanting to later this year.
If I had to guess, this was supposed to be World’s part 2, but they wanted more time to work on it so they released what they had as this update.
