You select them as an underwear option in character creation.

Nope, they are an actual item that should be in your inventory.

Then I did it correctly. Having heard nothing so far either.

 

[borghe]

so for ranged weapons, I know there's an ideal range... is this for both minimum and maximum? It seems like my bow is much less effective at close range and I guess I just want to verify that I'm crazy or not.

 

[Tom Penny]

I'm hoping I can get used to he controls. It seems a chore just to break barrels and see what items are on the screen. Is there an auto feature to show all items that you can pick up? Annoying having to press a button every time.

Yeah,there is a "sweet spot" distance and when you are too close/too far away it will suffer.

 

[Dipper145]

I'm kind of stuck around level 5. Every where I go the monsters seem to be level 7 or 8, which makes it a little more difficult, except when some awsome dog helped me tear some stuff up.

I'm going to have to figure out where to go next.

Loving this game though.

You can open the barrels to see what's inside them, rather than smashing them.

There's no auto-highlight feature I'm aware of, you'll need to hold ALT to highlight them every time unfortunately. Remember though, what you see with ALT is based on your perception rolls; it may take a moment for smaller items to come into view, so don't worry about checking for items the instant you enter the room.

Also, keep in mind that ALT will not highlight usable items or interactive items, like chests, containers, switches, doors, etc - it is purely for items you pick up by default. (I say it this way because you can actually put barrels and such in your inventory, though they weigh a ton. Useful if you want to haul, say, a water barrel a long distance instead of dragging it a foot at a time.)

 

[Chaos17]

I got so much questions lol... /sigh

Should i choose to have AI for my companion? does it mean i won't be able to control her or??

I won't take AI for my main character, just wondering what to do for my second character in the character creation screen.

(whats kind of weird is that the only choices are either Loyal or Random)

The AI option is just for the dialogs between the 2 mains heroes during solo mode.
That option skip you the core to choose the replies for the second hero.
Nothing else than that, you will have full control of the second character in battles.

 

[FallingEdge]

If he joins at the character creation screen he can make his own. No idea on the save thing though.

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.

Thanks guys.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

So is there no interacting with dead bodies?
I can't make a corpse barrel?

Having a blast so far. Have a Rogue with Air magic so I can teleport around. Well worth the kickstarter pledge for what we have.

 

[GrandHarrier]

I decided to try Lone Wolf because I really didn't want to be shoe horned with the companions they offer at launch so I built a Rogue/Archer that went Dex/Speed and an all around Caster/Buffer/Debuffer that went Int/Speed and I have just been wrecking shop. Taking on groups of enemies 1-2 levels higher than me.

Stuuuunnnsss for days.

Yes.

Thanks for the responses guys! Downloading now ;-)

Absolutely.
I can't stop gushing about the game, honestly. And I also haven't been able to convince anybody to buy it.

Everybody send duckroll PMs telling him to get this, because he won't listen to me.

Well you guys convinced me so that's 1 down!

[Krassus]

For what it worth its my first CRPG or even RPG and I am having a blast.

 

[Tizoc]

Gonna start the game and play it for a bit before heading out to work. Once I finish up Battleblock Theater and Bastion I'll put all my time into this game =)

I think i'll start with co-op just to try it out.

 

[Durante]

Since people were asking about reviews before, I feel like I have to post this explanation.
(From the RPGcodex forums)

I love reading stuff like this, even more than reading old CRPG nuts (like me) gushing about the game.

 

[AndyMoogle]

I've barely played it, but I can already tell that this is a great game. I love the interactive environments and the combat.

 

[dcassell]

Found the

Spoiler

underground grave passage

in the first town. Limped my way through that, and now I'm outside where I was promptly killed by a huge pack of zombies. Is there a preferable way to get better gear to be prepared? Monsters are only one level ahead of me, and I'm having a tough time getting through battles with a Tank, Mage, and the fighter from the tavern.

Planning to sell some stolen paintings and get the funds.

 

[Gaz_RB]

Yeah the game is really well crafted. Nice to see a good CRPG in this day and age.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I found

Spoiler

some used panties...

and then put them on.

Does that make me a bad person?

 

[syllogism]

My only qualm so far is that AI seems very inept at dealing with summons and environmental effects. Summons are, at least at this stage of the game, way too tanky. Glass cannon mages just destroy everything even on hard, but I suppose things might change later.

Probably makes you saner than most people playing this game.

I mean, I'm planning to kill everyone in the starting town when I feel like I've done enough quests there.

 

[LurkerPrime]

That's interesting, because I've found the exact opposite to be true. My summons and mages have been largely useless, it's been almost entirely my warriors keeping me in the game.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

I love reading stuff like this, even more than reading old CRPG nuts (like me) gushing about the game.

And for me these types of comments are very useful (since I'm an CRPG nut myself, was actually playing BG1 again to fill in waiting for PoE (although I see them postponing the release till next year).

This must be quite the game if all of you (from different perspectives; new and rpg veterans alike) seem to be loving the experience so far...

 

[marrec]

So I played it proper for about an hour last night and talked to a rat about how his ancestors ate the first kings in their tombs.

10/10, would converse again.

 

[Alric]

I'm a big fan of the animations the characters make. Can't wait to be back home to sink my evening away.

 

[AndyMoogle]

You can't create a fire arrow right at the start? I have level 1 in crafting, isn't that enough? It kind of sucks to start with the items for a fire arrow and not being able to create one.

 

[Enco]

Can you kill any NPC in this game?

By taking your comments and building a mean, I now know that the game is perfectly balanced

But seriously, I've had summons be amazing tanks in one fight and useless in the next. If the game is one thing, it's highly situational. Which is great.

I found myself giggling the way some of the npcs emphatically throw their arms into the air when speaking to you.

Jim Sterling trying out D:OS is live on Twitch right now. He's about an hour in it seems, currently at the docks, in... a spot of bother? I see sailors in red across the top of his screen.

Swen said that you can kill every NPC and still finish the main quest.

Pretty sure you can,I certainly did it with 1 crafting.

 

[Gumbie]

Going to use pinnacle and play this in the living room tonight with controller. Might be great or might be a disaster.

 

[AndyMoogle]

Nothing happens when I drag and drop the items :/ They just switch places.

 

[Zukuu]

I have no clue why Spears / Trident / Halberds are even in the game. So far EVERY SINGLE ONE of the same level deals less min damage than 2h swords and similar max damage, but also having a worse crit modifier. They cost the same AP to use too. Only difference is that they do Piercing Damage.

 

[Klyka]

which items we talking about here?

@zukuu I guess the piercing damage is the thing. it's great against armored targets.

 

[FACE]

Can you kill any NPC in this game?

Yes, some are harder to kill than others though.

 

[F!ReW!Re]

I'm done downloading (10Mb/s )

Gonna dive in straight away!

 

[AndyMoogle]

which items we talking about here?

the arrow shaft and the fire arrowhead. It says in the description that they should be combined for a fire arrow.

 

[Klyka]

the arrow shaft and the fire... thingy. It says in the description that they should be combined for a fire arrow.

so you have a "fire arrowhead" is that correct? then it really should work. weird.

 

[Ikuu]

Failed Experiment Quest:

Where am I supposed to go after I destroy Ahru's Failed Experiment? Says the soldiers have went to the Legion for treatment, but can't find them anywhere.

 

[AndyMoogle]

My mistake. It's a steamcloud arrowhead. I guess that's something else? Looks like a fire icon though.

Edit: Ah, now it says not enough crafting. I didn't notice that before.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Had my first CTD while shopping at the Legionnaire's Quartermaster. Worst of all, I can't remember when I last saved.

Piercing damage, bro. Some enemies will undoubtably be much weaker against it than slashing damage.

Crushing damage works well against skeletons. I'd test if I ever remembered during battle...
