ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[unfairlight]

What do you mean by "wonky as hell" exactly? The game was in a fully playable state on launch and the patches they have released now fixed whatever bugs there were left and rebalanced some things such as the flamethrower. If what you mean by that is "I don't like the combat, have they made it to my liking?" then I'll have to respond with a no.

Alright, let's start small: Can you still be stun-locked by explosions from underneath when attacked by enemies while on, say, a bridge?

Good game I can recommend it to everyone. What surprised me was that they've made all the factions in the game so different, on visual level that you'd think they'll clash with each other, but no, somehow, through the way they've picked colour palettes etc. none of them looks out of place and all of them are badass enough to be attractive.

However, whoever decided on the "starting" quests where joining the Templars or whatever they were called requires you to cheese like a fucking freak should be shot. If they're going to make one adn the same game, at least keep the good things - it should be profitable for me to do all the "starting" quests in all factions, sure, but I shouldn't be railroaded into "If you don't want to cheese, do berserkers first and then start doing outlaws, otherwise you'll be happy to even reach the Fort(or Horth for that matter)" is a fucking disgrace.

Overall after Risens which I didn't even want to play for more than an hour I've got a game that I kinda liked and if they're able to fix the problems it has, then I'm definitely trying out ELEX2

You can get recruited by the Clerics by talking to a group of them that walk around the domed city, which leads you to their HQ automatically.

FYI there's an encounter you seemed to have skipped where you can either voluntarily be transported to their HQ or be

kidnapped

That's when I reloaded the game, then proceeded to kill him with extreme prejudice, as well as killing any wandering clerics from that point onwards.

[razvedchiki]

Is there a file to tweak so merchants dont instantly respawn their stuff?
Also something to make the plasma aoe attack have a cooldown like thw flamethrower?

 

[Sranchammer]

This will be 1st RPG I've finished since the reign of Bush II

 

[unfairlight]

elex is 20 eurobucks on gog for those unaware

 

[unfairlight]

The game is also described as a contemporary classic.
Granted, Fallout 3, PoE2, Witcher 3, Tyranny, Mafia 3 and Dragon Age Origins are too.

 

[cvv]

It's weird there has never been any DLC or addon, hope we'll get something eventually. It was almost a year between G2 and NotR so fingers crossed.

 

[unfairlight]

PB said they don't want to do DLC from what I recall. I think they'd rather just do ELEX 2 which I predict will come out by 2019 or 2020, and Gothic 5 after that as Bjorn said on the Kai Rosenkranz stream a while ago that they apparently are working on it.

 

[Outlander]

Kai Rosenkranz...working on it

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUCK BEST NEWS EVER!!!

 

[unfairlight]

Not that Kai Rosenkranz is working on it, that Bjorn said that PB was working on it. Although, I wouldn't lose out hope either as Kai is clearly still friendly with PB and as he is a freelancer at the moment, mostly working for German/European games he might work with PB again too.

Been playing Elex from time to time for the past couple of weeks. I'm enjoying it more than any game of this type I've tried in a long while. The setting is very nice, and I like the three-dimensionality of the terrain and exploration. I haven't decided which faction to join, but I'm always tempted to play a mage in PB games.

 

[unfairlight]

I chose Berzerkor, I also chose Fire Mage in Gothic 2. Unfortunately, magic is not quite as powerful as it was in Gothic 2 and just as an example the fire magic can essentially just be replaced by a flamethrower. I hope that in Elex 2 the magic will scale up better. I think Berserker is definitely the definitive experience because to join them you have to complete a lot of quests, more than any other faction. Also helps that Goliet is definitely the most developed and pretty area of the game.

 

[Haplo]

Clerics are much more interesting as casters. And they look a lot more stylish too!

 

[unfairlight]

Clerics aren't true casters or magicians though, they use Psi.

 

[Haplo]

To great effect though. PSI/magic.... that's semantics.
And Clerics look a lot better. Also have nice decoy/cheat death abilities that also make them well suited to melee.

 

[Tigranes]

cleric magic is gamebreakingly overpowered, so 'scaling up magic' might destroy the elex universe
