From what I read earlier in this thread, that would be a bit under halfway in the main story.
So what are the abilities for each class? Or notable abilities
I played as Thief, the notable ones are
Backstab - Useful much later on in the game once you get a throwing item that can inflict bleeding and attack multiple enemies. Does massive damage and stacks bleeding.
Mug - Very useful early on against mobs as it disables a single opponent. Use speed potion to disable two opponents and give yourself some breathing room.
Assassinate or whatever the last one is - it just looks cool.
The others are pretty useless such as rotten eggs (hardly any enemies buff themselves and mug can steal buffs and inflict stun/damage).
Of course once you reach mid day 2 you pretty much don't use abilities outside large hordes/boss battles.
EDIT: @joncha - hold the left stick all the way to the left then wait, you'll get the notification to push the right stick up.

Yeah, same. I feel like for this game, it's necessary. I put off the main quest as much as I could so I could explore and do some sidequests. Well-worth it.
The game is really fun so far. Even if it's really easy, I think the combat is kinda neat since enemies have stances and you have to use different things to get past those stances... and which enemies you should probably eliminate first (support classes notwithstanding). Debuffs and buffs matter (and I found it more necessary to remove debuffs on myself since they actually seem to stack in some cases, which is neat). While it's easy to get past all of that, it's nice that there's some thought being put into the combat.
Customization is fun, and while it can make the game even easier due to the patches and strap-ons you can equip, it's still kinda nice they added that in.
Haven't encountered a lot of bugs so far, so I dunno. There was one where the battle started and the enemy speech subtitle appeared onscreen periodically.

I actually laughed out load when first saw
. This game is amazing on multiple levels.

Nice...
To the left? Weird - the arrow points down. I'll try that. Thanks.
In the story probably a little under half way but I assume you have done most of the sidequests or wandering around? You maybe have like 6 hours left
I know that feel bro. I was at the school the second time when I found the basketball weapon. Then I realized I missed the dodgeball somehow. Which was weird since I loot literally everything. I had to start all over. I just finished the game and I don't think I'm missing anything as of now

Yep, I've done every sidequest available to me at this point (
with the exception of the bacteria/Canada hunting quests

Oh shit! I don't know what to do. Should I
side with Cartman or Kyle? Don't spoil anything storywise for me, but does picking Cartman mean that for the next quest I'll have Cartman as a party member? Does choosing which character to side with essentially mean I'll get to use that character before the other? Also does siding with Cartman mean I won't be able to use Jimmy/Stan for a while?

right stick down, left stick to steer
Im at
the siege of the school. Right after you choose to align with either kyle/stan or cartman/butters. At first I chose Cartman/butters because they ae funnier to me but after I heal the goth kid near the faculty door an hand points to him but he doesn't give me the key even though he indicates he's going to. I tried to go back and choose stan/kyle and put Timmy in my group like Jest suggested but that did nothing either.
Im either missing something obvious or my game is broken

I really hope someone has a workaround for this. I keep trying different things but nothing.

He doesn't give you the key, he unlocks the door after Butter's heals him. I think there are a few doors, make sure you're trying to enter through the first one on the left

It sounds like a bug of some sort.
The hand that shows up is the indicator that you're supposed to use your Buddy Skill on the person or object. So if that's still there AFTER you heal him with Butters buddy skill, then something is definitely borked. ;/

I know this is probably a really dumb question, but if i buy a physical copy of this game at retail for PC, will i be able to redeem my CD Key on Steam?
It's just that i have vouchers for GAME.co.uk and it work out cheaper to buy the physical copy from them, but the game isn't on the list of retail CD keys that i can redeem on Steam.

You know, I'm not sure but the Amazon listing for the physical copies of the PC version don't say Steam Redeemable and I'm pretty sure they usually list it if it does. The Digital Copy of the PC version on Amazon, for example, says "Steam Account Required to Activate."
Yes. You can. I bought a physical copy and it activates/installs from the DVD via Steam.
I'm probably the only person on GAF lame enough to go out to the store to get the physical copy...zer0blivion

Check your message feed. You get a message from him after Cartman banishes him. I'm assuming you only get the message if he was your friend.

That sucks. It's like 25% cheaper to get the physical copy than it is to buy direct from Steam. Saying that i could probably just get Steam Wallet vouchers.
Thanks!

Since he ^^^ actually has it, he'd be the better source.

CRISIS AVERTED. That £10 is going towards DayZ, thanks!
I love digital downloads but for this it makes more sense to get the physical copy haha.
Damn, at the part where
. For those who have done this already, does it matter or change the game or story?
after you recruit the goth kids you have to choose sides, and really torn. Want to stay with Cartman for butters and princess Kenny, but want to go with Stan and Kyle cause I'm pretty sure Cartman is full of shit like they say

It matters only for the next somewhat short section of the game. Who you side with determines your partners and who you will fight against. After that, it doesn't matter. I chose to side with Kyle but I would guess both options are amusing. I enjoyed listening to Cartman be pissed at me personally.
omg lol.
How did you even pass
Canada? You need to fart apart a boulder to rescue the Minister of Montreal.
Farts outside of battle do not use any mana.

Yeah, I spent nearly the entire game without any mana (basically used it all up at the beginning, saw it didn't refresh after every battle, and decided I didn't care) and I had no problems getting through the game until the spoiler-y image with no mana bar. That was literally the only other time I even used farts in a battle.
also I drank one of the big mana drinks because hey why not and then shat my pants. during a boss battle. which got me an achievement. awesome.

The
I loved how it literally felt like a 15 hour long episode of South Park. I hope they do another one like this.
I was so grossed out / laughing hysterically at the adventures in Mr. Slave's ass. I mean, aside from that bird spirit boss being a total pain, it was equal parts nauseating and hilarious.
The
first part of the final boss has great, too. I love that Princess Kenny theme, and I wish they had kept it for the entirety of the battle. It was kind of annoying though how you essentially had to keep each party member alive so they'd use their special move or whatever. Good thing I stocked up on health items beforehand. Otherwise I would have been fucked.

All you have to do is select a normal attack but don't press any buttons when your character approaches the enemy.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Sunk in four hours so far. Really fun game. Interesting how simplistic and borderline archaic a lot of the design is (especially quests), yet they're made interesting and fund due to the context and narrative, and overall self awareness of its design. Makes dumb fetch quests oddly enjoyable.
Not sure if I should bump the difficulty up from Normal to Hard. I'm still really early on, but this Mongorian bow is making fights pretty trivial.

I used the Mongorian bow for probably half the game. The fights definitely get harder later on, but once you get that bow, it's smooth sailing until the halfway point.
played hardcore all the way and there was barely any challenge, wasn't necessarely hoarding myself with the best stuff either
mongorian bow was definetly beast
Some scenes shown prior to release didn't end up in the final game, but I wouldn't expect them be resurface as DLC as they'd need narrative context. The game's script was also cut down here and there, however Parker's already said that the material won't be used as the basis for DLC; it'll most likely be incorporated into the show itself instead.
