Is this game any good?

Do you like the Morrowind/Oblivion-era Elder Scrolls games (janky combat and all)? Then yes.

Do you also like dark fantasy with a side of Arthurian legend? Then double yes.

Are you looking to climb towers to reveal map icons and a guided experience? Then no.

Certified banger. Rough around the edges, but easily one of the best games I've played all year.

 

[Frexerik88]

God damn, just spent the weekend lost in this game. Almost done with all quests in first area, really looking forward to what's next.
Its funny that i completely bounced off Avowed while i instantly clicked with Fall of Avalon.
Certified banger.

Game makes me motion sick, even with "head bobbing" turned off.

game needs patches

I have played a bit this morning and I got a bug in the first act where I finished one mission for Galahad which changes the fate of many character in the story and after that I went to talk to him again in his camp and he started speaking as if we never met before and offered me again the exact same mission. Absolutely ridiculous

The game is bug infested, literally. I dont understand how people are accepting these issues and saying is a banger. Yes the game is good but you cant ignore all these problems

The game is nowhere near finished. It needs serious patching before it can live up to the praise it's getting.

I'm not disagreeing with you but after 15 hours or so I haven't had any game breaking bugs like you describe. I've had some janky animations and HUD settings that need fixing each time I start the game and some performance issues on the console but nothing as far as questing goes. Hopefully they fix up any remaining issues because the game could be one for the ages if everything gets straightened out.

 

[ssringo]

Same. I'm in the second map now and while there's been some jank there's nothing that's been completely broken or anything that ruins the experience.

 

[R6Rider]

Funniest glitch so far is when you die and your arms/hands get stuck in the spot where you were standing. When you fall they just stretch all the way to the ground.

As far as major bugs I have had none so far and I've put 50 hours into the game across multiple characters. Only recently started in the second area.

No quests have been broken yet and I think I've had three crashes.

A new patch has just landed on Steam (coming to consoles later today):

Fixed Bromhar No Face's attacks being unblockable and unparryable.,
Fixed having item encumbrance debuffs even when within the limit after save/load.,
Wyrdstalker will now stalk you more—he was a bit too eager for a fight. He is now much slower outside of combat.,

Technical:

Finally can get it on Pro. Based.

Edit: wait. No mention of the screen tearing…

So I have crafting recipes for some armour that gives me stamina and some other stuff and I have all the materials but chance to craft is something like 2% and seems to always give me garbage? How do I go about crafting them?

How is this different from people playing utterly broken bethesda games and saying they are cult classic?

I personally didn't had anything broken on the level of bethesda games, just meh performances for how mid the game look.

Craft stuff to level up the skill. When you suck at it and try crafting stuff thats more advanced you'll more than likely keep failing or create "weak" versions of said item but your skill will grow. As you get better at it you'll create the normal item and eventually more advanced versions that will gain additional stats.

Take cooking for example. If you do the experiment option instead of using a recipe you'll start by creating a bunch of "undercooked food" (and occasionally learning an actual recipe) that will only heal for a little bit but you'll level up and eventually you'll start creating "tasty food" that heals for a fair but more comparatively.

 

[KungFucius]

I really liked this game overall.

Things I though could be improved:

1. 3rd act had piss poor weapon loot, I always got shit I couldn't use with my build. One of the things I like about games like this is scoring new good loot. I used the same weapons from mid act 2 through the rest of the game.
2. The length was longer than needed. I liked it, but by the 3rd act I was ready to move on. I have the same issues with most games today. 20 or so hours is where I draw the line. Like cut the game content and give me a sequel sooner.
3. Bugs were insane, but not quite on the Bethesda level. Though it was fun to save a chick and then have her back with her husband and triggering the same conversation that lets you decide to kill her or spare her and then lets you kill her in front of her husband and he is fine with it.

New hotfix today but the best part is the last sentence that says "Also, our biggest patch yet is coming sometime between Friday and Monday, depending on how quickly we can get everything in!". Hopefully some more optimisation and performance boosts.

A small hotfix is now live: Fixed at least one instance of missing NPCs—we hope it was the only one, but please let us know if you encounter any others. Resolved an issue with Arthur's bonfire dialogues repeating and breaking progression logic (Arthur's dialogues should now be available in the...

It is also worth noting that the devs are not doing a licensing deal here. Tainted Grail is literally created by the same company that made a board game, so they will defo polish and improve the game.

I'm finishing Act 2 and while there quite a lot of bugs (including the suddenly quiet Arthur that was fixed recently), it's still nowhere near the Oblivion Remake.
