Noticed something that I don't think I did the first time around... a challenge called 'The Ultimate'. At first I was like eh, the usual hard feat that comes with theese kind of cRPGS and then I read what is actually required.
To beat 'The Ultimate' challenge, a player has to finish the game under all of the following conditions:
- One savegame that is instantly deleted upon death
- Complete the game on the hardest difficulty
- Complete the game with a solo character (the game is normally played with 3 or 4 companions)
- Complete certain important quests(critical path) before a specific amount of in-game days pass
- Complete the game without pausing once (*actually, the game cannot be paused once this challenge is activated)
- Beasts gain random powerful effects
- Being knocked out in combat for 10 seconds is an immediate death
- Harsh equipment degradation is activated
- A fog of war is active at all times, getting smaller at night
- There are more storms when sailing the open seas, and they are significantly more dangerous to your ship and crew
- Food items spoil after some time
- A certain companion will follow after the player and must be kept alive throughout the game (the companion cannot be controlled)
- Per-encounter resources become per-rest instead, party health doesn't regenerate between combat, and only prepared meals will heal the party while camping
- Almost all normally displayed stats are hidden (enemy health, damage, etc)
Holy fucking shit. Did anyone ever actually do this without cheating? Surely fucking not? anyone here on GAF?
Side though, this game is really amazing. I didn't initially like it upon release, nor again after a year or two of patches, but this time around now its all updated and fixed up, the quality is shining through. Sad we will never get another.
