The fact that it took them 3 years to finalize their vision of what was originally promised says a lot about their management….
But I look forward to seeing what they have fixed since I played it earlier this year.
This.
Its still not even near the claims they made originally, which makes you wonder if it even ever existed in the first place. A strong pass
Too many actually, real RPGs releasing this year. Maybe in 3 more years they can get us factions that actually work and real RPG elements. Be like "we leave the complete games to others" lol
This will be the second or third time they're re-doing skill tree and perks system. It's actually kind of funny. Or sad. Or both.
Yes, all these features apply to the base game. One thing I'm not sure about is if the new district will be accessible without purchasing the DLC.
Edit: this is official statement from CDRP:
They use 'some' but a logical thing would be to assume that everything that has to do with the game's logic will be carried to the base game. So things like AI, vehicle combat, skill tree changes etc.
With the horseshit they pulled off with this scam, yes...it should be ALL vs "some". This game went from a deep RPG to Great Value Amazon Basics Far Cry with less functions. So we can take nothing at face value with this developer, probably ever. They lost that right when they lied to people about this game.
I'll check out the dlc 2025. (They asses haven't even earned a 2024, I'd rather the focus be on studios that put out complete work next year, not DLC of what should have been day 1) If its running fine, working and many of those feature returned, I might check it out in a few years, but a lot of that has to do with how this turns out for them.

I mean shit, it basically is in early access. I get adding help to update a game, theses guys are not "updating" shit, they are literally still fucking making CORE ELEMENTS of the game and using gamers as guinea pigs. I told people this years ago, the longer it takes for that content to come out, the more it confirms this company was lying about those features. This doesn't sound like a simple patch here or update there....this is literally core elements missing from a game like fucking AI.
Thats not some dlc type feature and its ironic that its coming from the team that was talking so much shit about other companies, only to know be known forever for this entire clusterfuck. Who knows, maybe most of us would have been more positive if they were just fucking honest about their issues and put it out as some early access type thing. The games problems are not my real issue, its the company lying about those core elements and its actual design basically being NOTHING like what was talked about for years.
Look at Starfield, both of theses games talk about actual factions, only 1 of theses games seems to actually, LITERALLY have that as we know it to be in a RPG. So it seems they tried to sell people this idea that they simply couldn't deliver.
They both might say you can be this or that, clearly in Starfield those statements sound literally and truthful and not merely some "lore" excuse.
