Random shit I posted to a Discord I'm in which I'm going to lazily copy paste here
[07:27] Yosharian: have a few thoughts
[07:28] Yosharian: based on the £35 I spent to get access to the game, I feel happy to not refund and keep playing from what I've seen so far
[07:29] Yosharian: character creator:
- needs more options, e.g. tattoos. feels a bit limited atm. what is there, is pretty good
- only one race
- you don't pick from male or female (I'll leave it there)
- not enough faces or hairstyles to choose from
[07:38] Yosharian: some general thoughts in no particular order:
- faces seem quite good, expressive and detailed
- seems like you can rebind all keys, couldn't during the tutorial but i think you can after that
- my rig is a 5900X / 3080, getting 150+ FPS on High settings, sometimes hitting 200 but mostly under that
- some of the combat sounds are a little weak, maybe they need to sound more meaty
- mantling seems neat for movement across terrain
- animations seem very good
- some kind of infestation/corruption storyline, a bit lovecraftian maybe?
- extensive options menu e.g. colorblind options
- ambience is quite good
- not a huge fan of the initial score i've heard, some bird la-la-la-ing trying to make me feel wonder at the environment, not sure it fits the lovecraftian vibe but maybe it gets better
- some minor login bugs atm
[07:39] Yosharian: you get to choose to put points into five different ability scores, str dex int con and some equivalent to wisdom (tied to healing i think)
[07:39] Yosharian: i quite like that and it seems that some styles will feed from two ability scores
[07:39] Yosharian: there's no classes
[07:39] Yosharian: at least not at the beginning?
[07:40] Yosharian: there's magic from what i can tell
[07:40] Yosharian: so you can be a wizard, healer etc
[07:40] Yosharian: there seems to be some sort of ice caster that uses a gauntlet i dunno much about that
[07:40] Yosharian: otherwise u got bow, musket, sword, axe etc
[07:40] Yosharian: weaponry seems to be how u get ur main skills
[07:41] Yosharian: u got free respec at any time maybe just a beta thing
[07:41] Yosharian: combat requires aim and movement its not tab targeting
[07:41] Yosharian: definitely more action-oriented
[07:42] Yosharian: that's just my initial thoughts based on the tutorial
[07:42] Yosharian: haven't played more than that
[07:46] Yosharian: there are unlocks tied to levelling
