About how long is the Yeti DLC? $15 feels a bit steep.

If you do everything, probably 5 or 6 hours.

The yeti DLC is pretty drat glitchy, at least in co-op mode. None of the mission objectives seemed to register or terminate correctly. This was an occasional problem in the base game, but it was much worse here. The nightly attacks were interesting, but there were significant delays between each attack wave, which made it seem that the game didn't execute it's scripts properly. The yeti take down move didn't work consistently either.. The game also crashed after what I guess was the final cut scene.

I deeply regret how I ended the game. When Min gets in his helicopter and you briefly get control back I reflexively pegged it with the semi auto grenade launcher I happened to have equipped. THE KING IS DEAD literally an instant before the game would have ended anyway. RIP crazy dictator uncle. It turns out everyone in the game is as evil as you but at least you had charisma.

If there was ever a game that needed a "kill everyone" ending this is it.

There is. Sabal and Amita are still out there in the post-game, friend. Sabal is at that island temple place right near the bridge to the north, and Amita is somewhere north of Banapur. Just google around for exact locations and you'll be able to track them down.

Is that still the bug related to having a controller plugged in while the game loaded up? Did they ever fix that?

I was still kind of confused about the Lakshmana thing so I went to the wiki article. They said there was some note or something from ishwari to pagan, so I googled it. Well despite expecting screen caps of the note in the game, what I got was the original wiki link, and a bunch of gross fan "art" read:porn. Seriously people. I just wanted a loving screenshot or something not some :barf:

That doesn't even remotely surprise me. You're not providing links so it must either be pretty poor or absolutely heinous. As I'm not sure how old Lakshmana was that's probably a good thing.

Super late bc I got traumatized but here's what I got on google search results just now. I'm not going to look at the pictures again. Wtf

I'm sure it's been discussed somewhere in the thread before but how do I stop the game from giving me a black screen when I try to switch to fullscreen?

Why did it all of a sudden start freezing for ~20 seconds when saving the game sometimes?

Not on the map, but if you go right up to a race starting point it'll show if you did and where you placed.

When I played through the game a few months ago all your times carried over when you started a new game. This led to a game breaking bug where you couldn't unlock a bunch of skills if you %100'ed the game, and the only solution was to delete your entire savefile and start again. I think this has been fixed...but I'm not certain.

Oh whoops, those ones. Yeah I don't think there's any indication that you've completed them, it's pretty annoying if you're going for 100%. Should have remembered about that - had to redo a bunch until I got the one I missed. Even later on I just did them right after taking the outpost so it wouldn't get forgotten.

Alright, I need someone to fill me in on some details.

I think I completed all the story missions, but everything was left really open ended, so I'm not sure. All fortresses/strongholds/bell towers clear. Plotwise I went with Sabal whenever there was an option, killed Amita, and shot Pagan at the first opportunity. Roll credits. A quick VO where AJ gives up on finding the monastery or whatever to scatter his mom's ashes, and then I just found a cutscene where Sabal's guys are killing some of Amita's people as retribution.... for... something. Not really sure what the deal was.

a) Am I done with the mom's ashes macguffin? What were the other endings for this?
b) Are the Golden Path missions all done?
c) Briefly, was there an alternate plot with a war between Sabal and Amita or something?

b) yes
c) not really. If you'd mixed up sides more you would have gotten praise and guff from one and the other occasionally, and heard more of their reasonings for their respective causes but that's about it

a) The endings have really minor branches. If you side with Amita, you have to get rid of Sabal, and she turns Kyrat into a narcostate and abducts children to become soldiers. If you don't shoot Pagan, you eat dinner, pay proper respect to your mom's ashes, and he attempts to leave Kyrat. You can kill him then.
b) Yeah.
c) It only spills out to be a war in the penultimate missions, but there's a growing rift as the game goes on.

Thanks. I guess I should have been less trigger happy. Oh well.

Not a terrible game but I wish carcasses would gib and burn some times instead of always ragdolling. Plus the AI is super dim, but what do you expect?

Hurk needs to be a main character in the next one, not side missions. Maybe that could be FC4's version of blood dragon?

For whatever reason, this environment felt more sterile than FC3... not sure why. Perhaps just the less verdant palette? Not enough cassowaries? And there was not NEARLY enough swinging around on ropes. There was that one VERY cool bell tower where you have to come up through the floor after figuring out how to even get up there... that was the only one with any sort of an actual puzzle to it.

I agree, the rope stuff was so loving great every time I got to do it, but personally I needed more "vertically descending through small hole in the ground that opens up into enormous cavern" places, there are only two or three I can think of right off the bat. People seem to hate Hurk, but I thought he was pretty hilarious as the insane war tourist.

I was also pretty disappointed that the second area was just the same as the first and not the Himalaya mountain tops, but I understand that's where the yeti dlc is so I might have to pick that up.

People who hate Hurk hate fun. The VA has more charisma than all the other characters combined and the writing was funny. I want to play as Hurk, with his supposed animal whispering skills, ordering a herd of monkeys to attack people like you could order the invisible tiger in the Shangri-La missions.

Which reminds me, I was hoping that I would get to play as that invisible tiger. Oh well.

I'm not opposed to the idea of Hurk (or cyber-Hurk) being the protagonist in FC4: Blood Rangoon. Unleashing cybermonkeys on my foe sounds hilarious. Especially if I have a flame weapon and they fling gooey jetfuel-octane poo poo at enemies.

Probably been said before, but the AI for civilians is hilarious. While I'm barreling down a road at top speed they scream and run into the road in front of my vehicle instead of off the road into safety. When they're driving, they have no problem making 90 degree turns directly in front of you across your 'lane', left or right, and they do NOT stop or even slow down just a little bit for pedestrians - I've been hit and killed numerous times crossing the road.

The most hilarious by far, though, is them being completely oblivious to VERY LOUD animals that are not immediately in front of them, or, say, on the other side of an open doorway. SO MANY TIMES I've saved a hostage only to have them get mauled seconds later. The first time this happened I had to pause the game I was laughing so hard - "Thank you Ajay, I thought I was a goner for sure!" <walks out door, immediately run over by charging rhino>

Just finished the main campaign with 99.983% completion or something like that because gently caress playing in the arena to rank 10.

Amita straight up yells at him for wanting a child bride, too. Plus Bhadra's sitting on a queenly throne watching while Sabal executes dissenters in the postgame, so....

Something like this would have been so easy too, just make it so if you pick the secret ending at the beginning it just gives you the open world, unlocks all guns and swapped the NPC outfits so you're fighting Golden Path and clearing them out of outposts instead.
