I intend on walking with dagger and revolver, dagger mainly for stealth kills. Looks like I need to unlock power attack on melee and weak points -> 40pts.
Revolvers is just 20 and i can focus on social stuff? //i shoot enemies in head fine.
Technical is 20pts sweet spot, forget afterwards?

looks like skills i can pick whatever rly

But im not so sure about attributes.
Str appears safe to dump below avg? Same for charm?
With all that cover around and fact that ill be using melee only for stealth kills - I guess dex isnt that cool?
Which leaves int and per to boost crits and weak spots. Am I missing something? are there any important attribute checks?

Dont wory, you'll be jack of all trades in a few hours

This actually sounds like a game I might enjoy playing. Hopefully on Steam in a year with a discount and maybe Christmas sales it might also be worth buying.

Oh neat. Quests goes into each other sometimes and actually acknowledge each other.

The Ludwig dude just asked me to go the geo plant, he said to go ask Reed for a code but i already had, so there's dialogue that actually acknowledge this. ( Same for Parvati , if you already talked to Vicar Max , you can mentioned that he gave you a quest).

 

[GloomFrost]

So far after playing only for couple of hours i can tell that writing wise DE can relax. OW got the worst dialogues of all the Obsidian games. Caine? Boyarski? Come on!! Hopefully it will get better.

I played for 3 hours and kinda enjoyed it. Game stutters a lot which is my only real problem up to this point.
Also game is super easy. Stealing is fucking easy, there are lots of ammo everywhere and combat became a joke after I got some real weapons.

So, do we think this will sell well? I mean, Bethesda are at least doing their best to help boost TOW sales.

On PC? It's not even meant to sell, what with it being on epic and ms gamepass.

Had a chance to play it a bit before a work and two impressions hit me already:

1. Face customization for femPC. Receding balding hairline seem to be a big thing for lady's styles in 2320. There are also no options, from quick overlook, to really change her eye, nose or mouth shape (not size/width) but nice assortment of beards, mustaches and other stubble. Yikes!

Only hope that with a 1st person view at dialogues I won't see her often if ever.

2. I am yet to see shooting/inventory management but already had an itch to get my xbox controller out of the drawer. All menus/buttons seemed that consoletarded.

This ^ had not exactly endeared me toward the game. At least I am no longer at risk of prolonging my sleep deprivation caused by Disco Elysium.

Turn your texture setting up.
Having it lower seems to increase texture streaming which causes tons of stuttering.

Hım, I already set that to highest if I remember right but I'll check after work.

And crawl back to my PC to do alt+F4 with closed eyes?

It seems like that medicine quest on the first town can be completed by giving the item for Reyes, chick with green hair. Then you actually say that Abernathy asked you to get for him, thats cool. Btw nowhere in journal they mentioned this

Power to

Spoiler

Edgewater or the Greenhouse/Botany Lab whatever?

Is there a way to get the latter to move?

Who doesn't own any of the best Fallout games at this point? Bethesda is shooting themselves in the foot anyway with this Fallout 76 nonsense - one step forward, ten steps back.

She was waiting for me outside his house when I got the quest from him and shetold her motives to me clearly. You probably missed her.

 

[Riddler]

Is there any consensus on the game yet?

Is it what it appears? A fairly mediocre game with an interesting concept but with dogbrained writing?

If you give power to Edgewater you can convince everyone to move back there and replace Reed with the leader from the deserters.

Unmarked part of the medicine quest: you can turn it into the constable as contraband

I have a feeling the codex will reach consensus on this game much faster than what it took for PoE, and it won't be positive.

shrug, I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

shrug, my feeling may be wrong, who cares.

So, before release I was told by Obsidian that the Microsoft Store version of this game was a Win32 desktop app, not a UWP app. Is that really true? How do you even check?

I'm not a MS programmer but I thought the only difference was that UWP applications used a more restrictive WinAPI
