So, if you buy a business like the blacksmith in bowerstone can you still buy weapons from it? I've only bought a couple of the stands so far and it was after hours so I couldn't check.

Yes. You can also still work there.
 
I love this game, but it feels so sloppy. I'm getting used to the running-on-ice animations, but the sluggish menu system and 15 fps targetting/effects annoy the hell out of me. Also, my character got stuck looking up and to the right until I logged out and back in. Everything is so nice, I just wish it ran better.

Totally agree.

The targeting and the sluggish movements are two of my biggest annoyances. The game is still great fun but boy what an experience it would be if it ran smooth.

What do I do to get into the Crucible? It says I need 700 renown. Can I get that in Westcliff itself?

Do quests that give you renown but more importantly, show off your Throphy to as many villagers you can, everywhere you go. It can give you a lot of renown (you'll find it under the expressions wheel >> Social)
 
whats the best way to reduce my corruption? I've been a good boy but also stole a few things.

Also, is there a way to get a divorce without just pissing off your wife until she divorces you? I was fine with marriage but the CONSTANT upkeep on my family is seriously hindering my adventuring opportunities. And I assume my kid disappears if I divorce the wife I had him with?

Just run around the town showing doing the trophy expression, shouldn't take long to get 700. You can run some quests/bounty hunter gigs too.

edit: blah, way late :)
 
I used my twinkle trail to find the stylist and now I can't get it to lead me to the next story point because it takes place in a region I haven't discovered yet. So... this leads me to my next question...


WHERE THE FUCK IS OAKFIELD?!

I've been all over the place, including two new overworld areas and two different areas that seem like mini-dungeon instances with the bosses turned off cause I'm pretty sure I got there before I'm supposed to. I can't find friggin Oakfield. =(

Select the quest to go to oakfield and the trail will change to lead you there.:lol at your cursing.

I tried that. It tells me I can't get a golden trail to go there cause I haven't discovered the region that it is in. =(
 
I was thinking about this last night and the one thing this game would be perfect for would be fishing. As like many great RPGs they have fishing and this one would fit with it nicely.

Make it happen Molyneux and Co.

Thanks, it's only giving me 2-4 per expression, but it's nighttime so there's not a lot of villagers around, and one of my trophies is hanging back at my house.
Is the renown based on the number of villagers who see you show off the trophy, or is it based on the number of trophies you have in your inventory?

I think that happened to me once and it still gave me the trail. I think it is referring to teleportation not the trail.

If I show them a higher level rated trophy like my 5 star one I was getting 5 renown per tick.

Show'em off to new people in different areas. If you keep showing them to the same people you'll get lower points each time... Not entirely sure though.

You should have a few renown quests available at that point in the game, one of which if I recall gives 750 just by itself. Just look through the quest list.
 
Picked this up yesterday, played for a few hours, it's very cool.

I'm playing as a girl, and I went in to town and came across some whore in an alley. So I farted on this whore a bunch of times until she was in love with me, and then she started following me around. I wandered in to some guy's house and I was really jonesing for it so I decided I was going to fuck this whore right then and there on this guy's bed. So after I have unprotected sex I wake up and of course the guy who owns the house is pissed and starts shooting at me so I have to take him out, but then my whore girlfriend starts shooting too!

I don't know what happened!? I tried farting on her a bunch more times cause that's what she's in to but it didn't work. She just stayed red and kept shooting at me? So I had to take the bitch out. :(

What did I do wrong?! I loved her... ;_;

That's not true, the golden trail will take you into regions you have not yet discovered.
Teleportation only works for regions you have already discovered.
 
My tolerance for RPGs is so absurdly low at this point... this game is getting old, fast.

Despite the beautiful art, I don't like walking from town to town and unless I come across a quest that piques my interest soon, I'll probably end up trying to trade this for Dead Space or something more linear.
 
how do you unfat yourself.

It's kind of fucking annoying. I've eaten no more than 12 or so +2 fat items the whole damn game. I do use a ton of will tho. My guy looks like a........Erudite from EQ2. But that can't be whats making him fat.

This game is so unrealistic. I'm running all over the place and totally gayz0rz with my hot butt seks with three man slaves and my guy is putting on pounds like john Belushi.

Hook up the fast travel? The loading times blow but it's better than running everywhere.

Celery.. lots and lots of celery. Each stick is -5% fat.

You know what's terrible? Walking from one end of Oakfield to the other is too much for me. I just don't have enough time or patience to play sandboxy/large scale video games anymore :(

Looks like Fallout 3 is off the list as well. Dead Space and Left 4 Dead should keep me plenty happy, though.
 
viralmarketeer said:

More specifically than what was already mentioned:

Go to Bowerstone Old Town. You'll get to the end of a road and there will be steps going down the left hand side. Take those and exit the town to Rookridge. It's a pretty much 98% linear path to Oakfield from there.

Yeah man. I've played at least eight hours and I still cannot consistently get to the abbey without running around in circles for 15 minutes. I know there's a short and easy path right near the entrance, but I always end up taking the looong way through the cemetary and pond areas.

Hmmm yeah. I can feel ya. Travel time can drive me bonkers in some games like this. What starts out as "immersion" in the game quickly feels like "time sink" to me. Usually after the hype of playing the game for the first couple of days dies down.
 
Thx for the tip.

and i don't have trouble with travel times

it really ain't that bad. Do yall use the sprint button at least?

lol, usually this stuff would bother the shit out of me but i really haven't noticed any horrible travel times other than some of the loading spots that are quite annoying (especially in the main city).

I'm still trying to work out if I want this game or not, but posts like this put me off. I mean, I suppose I can understand the appeal of this random, gimmick emergent sidestory stuff with fart jokes and prostitutes and polygamy and what-have-you, but I don't particularly want it in my hardcore western RPG...

I guess that's the problem, isn't it? This isn't a hardcore western RPG. I'm not sure there are any. Is anyone anywhere doing expansive worlds with intricate combat mechanics and well-written plot and characters anymore? Seems not. Sigh.
 
Damn, played until 430 am...was late to work by 30 mins lol.

Game is like crack though. Bought my first house last night and married the jeweller. Then I went by the temple of shadows and went to the bar, picked up the barmaid and married her. She was kind of low class so I took her back to the gypsy camp and set her up there, had another kid. Game is pretty funny, and lol at fat Nariko.

Wow, way to be a buzzkill. This game is not for you.

Same, I need to start buying furniture though. I actually find the jobs pretty fun and the set rent you get every few minutes is also very nice :D .

My first 2 days in (maybe 4 hours playtime)

I'm a lvl 5 blacksmith,I own the bookstore a fruit stand and a house in the market,have done one quest outside of the town (Oakville). Was trying to get anyone to shag me without marriage but no luck (seriously all girls I speak to have the wedding ring at the "full" part of the meter, what's the deal?)

...and I love it

I was worried about the combat but the fluidity of stringing different types of attacks is amazing

Some of them will sleep with you if they're sluts, you need to go to the bookstore and buy the 'come hither dear' book.

What's funny is that the icon for the 'come back to my place' expression is...yep, hot coffee

Molyneaux is a god among men.

:D

I already had the expression, thx. When I use it the all wan't to "wait until the wedding night"....do all girls have the wedding ring at the end of their love meter?

It's all good it is distracting me from my goal of purchasing Brownstone, I never had Pub games so it might take me a while.

you feel alienated because of the optional stuff?

most of the people seem to think the story is decently done. i think it's significantly better done than Oblivion... combat on the other hand is about the same level, perhaps slightly easier in that you don't specifically have to target when enemies are close (but it depends upon what you're doing).

There's a couple I was able to do without the ring, I think it was Jo the housewife, and this other one though I cant remember cuz I changed her name to Adultress lol. I know she lives down the street from the blacksmith down that row of houses.

The shop at the main entrance of the city sells condoms too, only 5 gold lol.

One question yall, how do I get the bounty missions? Like is it from the guards, sherriff?

I'm about to join the temple of shadows, I kind of tried to be 'pure' again and I got rid of my horns and my skin color got less red...actually with my beard and hair I look exactly like Vamp now :lol
 
Shake Appeal said:

So dont fart or be a bigamist? Its just like in real life, you dont have to be an ass if you dont want to.

And the combat feels great when you go along with the timing. The environments are pretty damn huge, well detailed, and with a decent amount of exploratory elements. The combat is actually pretty nice as well. Once you figure out what melee, ranged, and magic styles you like, chaining stuff together feels nice.
 
Does anyone know how to get rid of a spouse without divorce or killing her? Are there any other options? I don't want to give up half my assets, and I don't want the corruption points for killing her. I was thinking about taking her for a walk with balverines, but I doubt that will work.
