Hmm, I'm a backer but I never actually got a key for this. Anybody else in the same situation?

Apparently Pierre is sending out the Steam Keys one by one. Also there are bunch of shills who have been spamming him to get ahead of the line.

I am one of the assholes who jumped the line sorry. I did get a gog key though.

lol, just don't disable gold cost and problem solved
True. I'm imagining you'd get to the final battle with the 6 guys you actually leveled up and 14 corpses of people whom it's not worth the money to even rez.

Sooo, on normal difficulty level every character gets a new feat at every level up instead of every 3 levels? I am just browsing difficulty options and there is ton of handicap turned on by default. Like auto HP regen, no gold to level up or some other lame shit.

But in that case, what's the point? You'd assume with the ability to have 20 characters you also get more stuff to level and equip them, otherwise it's pointless. In that case just keep a smaller roster size.

You'd sure need a lot of gold was my point, though. If I recall, and it's 1250 per level, it'd be 50,000 gold to get your 20 guys from level 1 to level 2. It would have to basically be raining gold.

Seems like you can cancel and reload leveling up screen if you want to reset scum higher hit point bonus.

Browsed a guidebook little, interesting stuff about rangers :D:

As far as Augury of Chaos is concerned, Rangers aren’t a terribly good class. The
Ranger favours bows, but many encounters are in cramped spaces where bows are diffi-
cult to use. This favours melee over ranged in many situations (though there are excep-
tions). As such, a Ranger will likely be more inefficient than most other classes due to
the nature of the module.

Also, Rangers aren’t necessarily the most useful ranged combatants either. Many of
their abilities give them great power and versatility with ranged attacks, but they lack
the Wade In feat Fighters get access to, which allows Fighters to move before firing all
of their attacks.

tbh the module creation tool alone is well-worth the price, and I'd sooner spend the money on this than any AAA crap. But one has to be conscious of how customers judge value, and the game simply doesn't look like it's worth $40.

I bought it obviously, but Pierre hear my words: I call upon the gods to strike you down for imposing this $45 price tag, I tremble with rage

Why the UI has to be so small? My eyes already bleed. And no option for running it upscaled works for me...

Edit: Had to lower resolution, hate that. And the UI is still small, the bleeding is now 3hp/turn instead of 5hp/turn. Better than nothing.

I had forgotten about the guidebook. I went to the site to download it, and it feels like I've been waiting for a week for it to finish downloading. This game is so old school that even downloading a PDF about it makes you feel like it's the 90s again.

Waiting for Pierre, the master economist, to wait out the refund period and then drop the game's price to $20 after catching all the people who couldn't wait and kept bitching about how the game wasn't available earlier.

Pierre getting ready to roll around in your Steambux::keepmymoney:

At a normal price point I might have impulse bought this but instead I think I'll replay KOTC1 and wait for a sale

EDIT: I'd say about $29.99 is more what I'd be comfortable with paying

It's still hard even with all those aids.

Or it would be, if you couldn't gain so much XP in Finchbury already! Did all the quests for the local adventurers guild this time, and got my chars to level 4 before even entering Chapter 1 lmao.

40 euros is too much but I gave them. Pierre's creative lunacy is one that I wanted to reward.
Plus, the game is already beating the shit out of me in the tutorial (mimic battle + "oh hi guys" minotaur). Which is an awesome, rare feeling nowadays.

The thing is, everytime I run it fullscreen it crashes, and the fixed windowed screen size is fully uncomfortable. Any ideas?

AFter 3 hours gameplay my first impression is really bad. Looks worse than KOTC 1, Worse UI, worse help, more convoluted, and even starts worse and even somehow more generic.
I loved kotc1 and did 16 runs because i enjoyed that much but i'm so far not enjoying this experience, wonder how others are feeling.
If i paid 40 bucks for this i would feel rip off in most cases, lucky it only costed me 2.40.

Maybe I massively change my mind in the next try, but this isn't looking good.

You get what you pay for. See, you needed to pay $40 to get the full experience, so instead you're only getting 5% of the quality for 5% of the price. :smug:
