Did you do the night watch patrol quest?
I don't think anybody played the game twice yet.
I love how big and confusing the city was at the start. Massive place. I got lost at lot at first, and it took me many hours to familiarize myself with its layout enough to find my way reliably all the time.
I spent so many hours inside that city because in my initial explorations I found a lot of questgivers, merchants, etc but then I forgot how to find them and I was too cheap to buy a map. So much of my time was spent trying to find my way back to that one place I remembered, it was an absolute blast.

Yes. Didn't rat him out. Handed him all the pelts as well as the shells to the smith. Helped the loggers bring in the cart.
The night watch quest was the last one I finished, I didn't rat him out for having the bear, and the next time I walked past Baes he gave me the armor.

Did you find all the hunters? Also the bartender have a quest,you need to give him drinks till he likes one. He likes dark paladin and ask you to get a deal with the brewer. You could get exp from what i remember,so give him everything else before the dp beer.

I'm a tard I guess. I must have walked past him just far enough away to not initiate automatic dialogue. Got it. Upgraded to superior it's better than superior guard swordsman, but oddly not worth as much in gold.

Oh yeah,the armour price is all over the place and have zero logic in it. There is a 12k knight armour that is sold by the armourer in the city,while being pretty meh armour.
So about the sidequest of merchant guild in chapter 2 where you have go haul boxes from ships
after the quest conclusion, i randomly wander the sewer and founf flavio's corpse in there. Safe to say this quest line will continue? Or just random "closure" for intrepid players? Either way it's very neat and i wouldn't have stumbled into it at this point if i wasn't feeling curious

There is plenty of stuff like this sometimes it leads to more quests or different options other times it's just flavour and more lore example.
The dude in Silbach Sunder was supposed to escort you find his corpse if you return to it later he has becoem a zombie.

One in happy merchant compound. One behind Siren tavern. One outside of wall behind city, towards the right, in cave, when looking from land. One next to carpenter shop/blacksmith/shepherd/dog courtyard.

Phew... I finally read the whole thread, my playthrough is sucking all my time.
I am at 140 hours mark and still in chapter 3. I spent 42 in first chapter and was at 124 hours mark when I joined chap3. /anw
I am obviously exploring the world map like an autist-tard, feels good, wasn't excited by a game like that since my early 20's (probably VTMB at the time), that's around 15 years ago.
The game is a massive incline; notable mention for its quest design: where there are tons of hidden solutions. Where your quest journal would update with a line like ''ok, I found the cave[...]'', it would actually be a misinterpretation of your character and you would have to figure it out on your own.
Someone telling you ''ok, there might be x and y that you need to fetch me'', you can actually find a z if you're bright (and if you've got the time to handle it).
But as it was mentioned before, yes the game is literally plagued with Immortal NPC's, or design inconsistencies: Teleports that malfunctions because quest.
I seems that some quest designers found sublte ways to approach dead ends, and some other went hurr-durr. Really hope we will see some fix to this. I'll certainly bring it up on steam forums when I'm done playing this.
Sjukob it's not hard to start a mage, the fact that you need to find runes etc. is exciting, ofc it's busy work, but it's part of the thrill. But the thing is, you ''one shot'' (burst dmg) everything even early.
The issue is that it involves backtracking, you're out of ammo pretty fast and you cannot take groups, you need to pull out critters out of their groups and if you can't, you're fucked.
But you make steady progress. I would vouch for a 30% in one handed since it synergize so well with Dust Wind and Ice Block.
You can easily pump strength with all the boosters, notably apples. I need to check again but I think I am close to 130 str with only 30 trained.
Thx a lot for your input/video on combat technics, helped me a ton.

Turned out i haven't played with dx11 all this time. I got the directx packet and the game looks better in subtle ways like HBAO and the water finally doesn't look like solid, opaque ground.

I felt burned out towards the end, but roughly a week later I'm tempted to start a 2nd playthrough -- this time with the the happy Infinitron merchant faction.
Need to convince myself to wait. Otherwise I'll almost certainly burn out towards the end game.
Someone in this thread mentioned that the devs might make a veteran mode. Think it was Justicar. If so, was it something they said on the Steam forum? Any more info?

I only right now able to try this mod out, but then I noticed that some people on steam forums were talking about 1.2 patch releasing soon and I am in process of thinking about waiting a bit. Is anyone here knows a more precise date for patch than "soon"?

No idea but it shouldn't stop you from playing, mod is content complete and there's hardly any game breaking bugs. Game is 20 years old and likes to crash so save often and in multiple slots but that's common wisdom.

They also specify it will not require a restart and if they ever release a patch that would require one you will be allowed to keep playing on the old version.

Hey! You have the same thoughts as me when I finished it and restarted after a few days. Simply any game still to be played in my library paled in comparison and having it still installed I couldn't resist.
I had started a game as a mage and wanted to join the merchants to try out what I had not done so far.
This time I aslo installed DX11 and quicksave enabled. Obviously it turned out that the save file got corrupted and I had to redo a long piece of the game so I gave up at chapter 2...
I'll probably wait for the patches and this new hardcore mode to play it again.
It would be nice to know more. I also did not find information around ...
