ELEX ELEX RELEASE THREAD

[Tigranes]

No way. Stats cost 5 points for 1 starting at 60 or so no way you meet the requirements for all the stuff you want by 25.

Even with heavy elex abuse... I'm running out of money but not skills I want.

Whoa 5 is a lot, i guess it keeps you wanting more all the way. And yeah having natural elex for sale means I am constantly short of money still (10k for warrior armour!) Though i dont obsessively pickpocket and steal every mug.

Re. Infinite skies i mean all the postapoc stuff in this game so far is just fallout fan fiction so... i did find a place hinting at daNgerous experiments etc.

 

[Grunker]

So I finished the game today.

I want whatever job gives you this amount of spare time

It's called "no job". Kidding, but it does seem kinda strange.

Would you want the amount he's paid though?

 

[Alienman]

Any preferences on melee vs. ranged combat so far? Kinda interested to know what routes people are going. I've been bashing everything down so far, but I'm only like level 6 or so and lightyears away from using any good equipment.

I mostly use melee but the plasma rifle with explosive bolts are really useful when enemies are grouped up or you just need to take down one angry motha and rather avoid close combat. It keeps stunning them by throwing them all over the place. There is no reason not to use ranged weapons I think, since many melee weapons require both str and dex.

[Sigourn]

Real excellence, real old school, real Gothic. Accept no substitutions.

 

[Raapys]

So I finished the game today. One thing I can't figure out

Spoiler

is there anything after the credits roll or not? I got a quest to go talk to all the important quest NPCs and followers, did all my business but I got stuck with Logan. I talk with him but it doesn't complete his final quest, and I can't kill him either since he just gets stunned. Am I locked out of anything relevant to the story or can I just quit the game here?

Will post thoughts, impressions and suggestions to players later.

Spoiler

Yeah, after I'd talked with everybody for that final Main Quest thing(after ending credits), I got a summary of how companions and shit ended up, i.e. ending slides.

Talking with all faction bosses + all companions + mechanic in center city seemed to trigger it. It's just dialog + slides though, no game content.

Well shit. I don't know how to get past Logan's trigger. Seems like I'm stuck.

Ah, that's nasty. I didn't get quest for Logan though, but for William(guy to the right from main entrance in Fort, Logan's cousin or some shit). I might have killed Logan up in Alb territory though, not sure. The Outlaws there attacked me after main quest due to ending choice.

I started out wih a bow, but I didn't like the ranged combat. I'm now focusing on melee+magic.

 

[abnaxus]

Stats cost 5 points for 1 starting at 60

Ranged/Melee 3 need attribute at 85.

brb brewing some potions

Björn wtf man

 

[Jasede]

I spent all my elexite on elex.... Now I'm out of elexite sources because I did all the quests... Faction armor is 10k.

Choices and consequences...

Protip: be on the lookout for rare herbs of you want to make potions to permanently increase up, stamina, etc.

One rank of the stamina talent gives 20 stamina, so both give 40. The potion gives... 20. That's huge. I drank two already. Can swing like a madman.

 

[frajaq]

So how bad of an idea is it to join Factions as soon as possible? You lose a lot of potential XP for doing other faction's quests right?

 

[Tigranes]

Jasede dont you need recipes? Ive been hoarding em without looking in the gothic tradition.

I really like how theyve integrated jetpack into the map design, many nice touches in high places. Golden whispers, the one place high up a mountaintop with a caged skeleton swaying in the breeze.

Some of the big mutants drop pure/natural elex. I am maxing my 3rd attribute. Also i used trainer for learning points,having only one point per level doesn't feel like PB game. Only attributes and cash should matter. Also i am archer build and don't care about swinging,the mele combat is shit.

 

[Jasede]

Recipes are buggy. You can make strong elex potion even with only normal recipe. That's a bug as the big one has a recipe. Will likely be fixed.

As for the permanent hp, stamina, psi potions - you need a recipe for those. I'll be hard to miss if you find the neutral village. Not the domed city.

 

[Stavrophore]

Player's skill vs character's skill. Some people prefer the former, others prefer the latter.

People who prefer player skill can just play some button masher if its all about reflexes... That's not what RPG is about at all. Hence this is closer to aRPG, some slashers or Dark Souls gameplay.

 

[Tygrende]

1 hours 13 minutes in, having a blast so far.

I've been savescumming to climb this transmission tower for like 5-10 minutes. Worth it.

It would be weird when Alb commander will not know how to make elex potion.

 

[ortucis]

Has anyone found out who that little ghost girl near Cleric area is? I am still exploring, trying to find her, I keep hearing her voice every now and then.

Unless, it's not in-game..


Checks the basement..

I hate that sound. Also been looking for the source. Maybe it's just the music.

Nah it isn't music. It starts randomly in some areas like we aren't able to see the girl. Maybe she's invisible and trying to ask for help? Quest related or something we need to find.

Take companion with good ranged weapon (Caja and Falk work). Choose good position. Shot 1 arrow/bolt and wait for the companion to shoot and stop, shoot another arrow/bolt. Much more efficient.

That doesn't work since every fucking enemy just walks up to you to punch you in the face. And if they can't get up to you? They just hug the wall below you while your companion keeps shooting floor to get to them, somehow. Basically, it just forces you to go down to melee again and companions can't be set to ranged only, they come down to melee as well. Derp.



Also, unlocked Flamethrower, excited, ran outside to try it on a bunch of enemies:

Why can we run with it at full speed on back and only walk like an asshole when it's in our hands?

Way past that now, I am enjoying the Laser Rifle more. Full auto, really brings down enemy health before they can even get to you. I need to unlock workbench now.

Selling animal trophies and cigarettes is a pretty stable source of income.

 

[unfairlight]

Heavy category weapons (Kaboom, rocket launchers and flamers) do that. I think there's some ability to make it less bad though.
Where can I find a shotgun that doesn't have absurd skill requirements?

The 2nd tier faction armor is a waste of money imo. By the time I had enough money saved up for the whole set I was already level 25 and tier 3 with my faction, so I just continued to save up and bought the Legate (3rd tier) armor instead. They need to slash the amount of money that it costs to buy tier 2 armor by half to make it feasible and affordable without forcing the player to go out of his way to grind the money.
