Yeah I tried it last night, started making my own level. I haven't played around with the characters yet though.
So i just bought the game and gotta wait until it's finished downloading, so i was wondering about which difficulty to play on..
How challenging is the normal difficulty and is hard really difficult or just a bit more challenging but still something an inexperienced player might overcome with patience?

Lot of good loot with F5 abuse, hehe.
Depend if you play good guy or bad guy.
Stealing everything you can make your life so much easier because you will be able to get good equipements and lot of gold.
The battles can be difficult if you don't have long range companions or a healer.
But the game is balanced if you're the same level of the ennemies or just 1 level under.
My advice is to have or hire a mage so you will be able to play with the elements background during battle.
You will understand, when you will do the dunjeon tutiorial that fire+poison = explosion, lol.

So with regards to multiplayer, lets say that my friend and I both want to play together. Is there any way for us to both create our character at the character select screen? Or do I have to do all the customization?
And the saves are on the host computer. So if he wants to play single player with his newly created char, can I give him the save file and be good to go?

As a guy who plays usually on hard or more difficult, I find the hard difficult to be poorly implemented. You get -25% HP, -10% hit chance and the enemy gets +20% hit chance. I'd have preferred to have enemies deal 25% more damage for a plethora of reasons. Hit chance balancing is also pretty meh.

Yeah, played with it yesterday, can't help with that - the most I accomplished was making a environment and running around in it. Will be waiting until I finish the campaign and Larian's tutorials mature a bit before diving back in. Very promising stuff though.
Yep, first thing I thought of too. Good to know!

=OCan you make your character into a Neuromancer typer of character? Raising the dead, draining life and such? Evil stuffs :3 I havent had time to check it out yet outside of a few minutes and it only turned up on my radar thanks to Steam sale
If he joins at the character creation screen he can make his own. No idea on the save thing though.
Anyone have terrible stuttering and framerate issues for the movies but fine for the game?
i5 2500k
660ti
8 gigs RAM
No SSD
In the past I believe just updating drivers have resolved issues like that which is what I'll do but just throwing it out there first.
I typically don't update drivers unless I have an issue so my nvidia drivers are likely a year old at least.
I actually did have some framerate issues for the game itself out of the box but it had auto-detected Ultra. Kept jumping from 40 to 70 and thereabouts. Put it on HIGH and turned on vsync and everything seems to be happy at 60fps.

Yes. This happens while the game is loading in the background. SSD helps, but that's it. They're supposedly going to disable background loading during movies eventually.
Speaking of which, i read the requirements, but still unsure if i should get this because i have a 2 year old laptop with a a8 quad core and a 7690m GPU. Anyone have any idea whether i can run this?
Turned both up to 25. So good
A weird thing is asking for a save name every time you proper save (could have made a default name with the location name). Nitpicky, but annoying. But then I started on the autosave/quicksave thing.

I replayed Fallout 1, Fallout Resurrection and Fallout 2 six months ago. I always play as a good guy, but from what I remember you can kill pretty much every single NPC in the game, and there are quite a few quests you can take that require you to be evil/amoral asshole. Working for Decker in The Hub comes to mind, for example. Or joining Gizmo in Junktown and wiping out Killian and his cops. Or you can join The Master and doom your home Vault to the same fate (becoming supermutants or dead) and end the game that way, instead of getting water chip and saving them. And you can also kill the fucking Overseer in the back at the end of the game when he exiles you from the Vault (if you did not join The Master).
Fallout 1/2 are golden standard of RPGs for me
1. When you begin a party (multiplayer mode), stay at the character creation and your buddy will be able to log in and create his character.
2. Unfortunaly, no. His character he creates with you will stay forever with you (you can even play solo party with his character). He will have to make a new game. i don't know if trading saves work.
and they need to fix this on Mac. As soon as your declared number of slots fill up on either the Mac version bombs out on auto- and quick-saving. uggh.
Yes, you get more points when you're above a certain level(s). Abilities cap at 5 and require 1 point more each level to level up.
I think so, as well. I'm playing around with it, too.
I have 1 point in Loremaster and was able to identify the magical items we found so far. Saves quite a bit of cash.
Any idea how many skill points you end up with by 20? Or when these additional skill points start coming and how many?
That's gross. Did you report it?

Yeah the saves are huge but they're very compressible. Hopefully they can implement save compression like CDPR ended up doing for The Witcher 2.
Allright. Works for me. Just glad I'm not the only one. Movie quality never really mattered to me. Game is what's important.
It's a utility skill for identifying found equipment outside of battle. A few hours in you should find some rings or necklaces that give +1 to Loremaster, so don't invest heavily in it.

Considering you can easily get the first point in LM by a characterial trait, find at least one item with "Loremaster +1" and I have yet to see one single item that requires more than LM at 2, I'm not going to spend a single point on that ability yet.

I found one in a barrel in Cyseal near some stairs iirc. Not sure if it's randomised or not though.
They are infinite use, so you only need 1. I've found a whole bunch lying around town.

they moved it, in the beta it was in the basement of the councillors wife. looked for it everywhere, didnt find it, and bought it.
then I saw it, its
in the undertakers office
Oh, I had no idea. That makes it a much better value, then. Hopefully I'll just find one though.

You can reliably get a few of them around the city (the mortician's office, by a chest in the merchant's room on the second floor of the inn, etc).
Have you found that your summons increase in power as you level? Or with INT?
It was around 450 for us, and that's just 23 identifications before it pays for itself so I got it immediately.
(Yes I play games like that
)I've seen it quoted as:
5 points at level 1 (character creation)
1 point at levels 2, 3, 4 & 5
2 points at levels 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10
3 points per subsequent level
So, at Level 20, you'll have allocated a total of 49 ability points.
For completion's sake,
Attribute points (ie. stats)
You start with 5 and will gain 1 point every time you level up to an even number.
At level 20 you'll have allocated 15 in total.
Talent points
You start with 2 and will gain 1 extra talent every level-up that's a multiple of 3.
At level 20 you'll have 8 talents in total.
I sure am!Fans are going crazy playing this
More seriously, try setting a frame limit and/or V-sync. Basically, "fans going crazy" just means that the game is very effectively using the available hardware.

Use vsynch and set frame cap to 60. I was having the same problem and that fixed the issue for me.

Why does he wear the mask!?
No.
If you plan on playing the game with someone else, you can join them during character creation and create your own character.
