I've been able to melt some ice by just building a campfire right next to it, but I'm not sure if there is a limit on how big the ice can be. It's also real real slow.

teacup posted:Hey quick questions but don't want big spoilers All I can answer is #1 (which is a yes, you can get more weapon slots, bow slots and shield slots). Would be interesting to know about #3 because I loved the old dungeon style in Ocarina of Time. Pollyanna posted:Getting real sick of constantly getting one-shot by enemies. Considering doing stealth from this point on cause even with two-level defense buffs, +1 equips and the most button mashy of different attempts, I still get one-shot by moblins. I really don't like the combat in this game. I dunno where you are to be getting one-shot by Goblins. What armour are you even using? I wore the basic Hylian armour set and managed to defend against all Goblins in the South-Eastern regions (basically the starting zone). Just follow the main quests, they point you in the right direction. +9 armour was enough to only make me lose half a heart if I get smacked by the big blue boss Goblins.

I just got minorly spoiled about something, I won't say exactly what it is but  buy the house -- it kicks off one of the longest and most rewarding sidequests in the game

Also as much as this game is pretty open and unforgiving and challenging in some ways, guys, if you're having trouble, go collect some faeries. You don't need bottles to catch faeries. They work just like OOT and if you die, they posthumously bring you back to life automatically. I have like 5 faeries on me right now, no big deal

I had 2 on me and I kept dying to stupid poo poo and getting revived, so I'd save scum to actually keep my fairies for when I need them. I wish dying gave a prompt "do you wish to use fairies" so you could choose whether it's worth wasting them on a loving Goblin.

I've got hylian trousers, the blue shirt, and that climbing bandanna, which apparently isn't much. I should invest in better gear I guess but idk where to get it besides buy it. Also weapons always seem to be in short supply.

Also weapons always seem to be in short supply. I've got no idea how far you are into the main quest since the quest gives you 4 separate locations to go to. I started with the Zoras and it hasn't been too difficult. But having the Hylian poo poo at this point in the game is embarrassing. Make food, sell it, and buy better armour. It will save your rear end. Also try and find a Great Fairy so you can upgrade this gear. I'm regularly fighting those lizard fucks and goblins with 150 health, and I manage them just fine. spasticColon posted:I've put around 15 hours into this game already and I haven't found a single Great Fairy Fountain.

I did poo poo tonnes of exploring and shrine completing, but then when I buckled down and followed the main quest, it pretty much held my hand to all these awesome locations. The artist in Kakariko village will help you find it.

If you're in the top right area of the game you should have WAAAAY better armor than hylian trousers and blue shirt, holy poo poo. No wonder you're getting one-shot. Dude, go somewhere else.

People heading off to like the upper left of the map make me scratch my head in confusion. No poo poo you're gonna get 1 shot if you're a solid 15 minute ride away from the starting area.

Yeah, its real obvious the easiest of the 4 locations is the Zora, which is right next to Kakariko. The next easiest is Garudo. The other two are CONSIDERABLY harder. You're free to do them in whatever order you want and I love that, dark souls open world style. But like, if its too hard, surely try something else?

Princeps32 posted:Far enough in to the meat of the game that I am comfortable in putting this in my top 5 games of the last decade or so. Maybe that'll change with time, but I've been really shocked at how this game has engulfed me, in a way I haven't felt since probably Witcher 3? I think there are some real things to fault, and no it is not a "perfect game" whatever the hell that means. If you don't like open world games it's still an open world game, there is a (seriously small and situational) amount of framerate chugging, the voice acting is middling, and yeah you have to get used to your weapons breaking a lot as part of the game's system for keeping you invested in loot so you don't get bored of finding things. Very cool review, and I agree. And thank you for mentioning that midair headshot, that jogged my memory to having seen something cool in one of the trailers, I completely forgot about the slow-mo midair bow aiming until you said that.

I love how it incentivizes exploring the environment for anything noteworthy by making the potential reward anything from an opal to a Kokri seed to a shrine. I just found a shrine behind some non-descript explodable rocks.

I got a question to go to the other lab via the first main lab quest which I interpreted as "'hey go to the other lab thanks' - main quest" so maybe I'm just loving stupid. I'm fast approaching at least 50 deaths already so it wouldn't be that strange. I wanna see some hilarious death compilations from this game.

Couldn't climb over the ice either. Use that water thing you have to try melting the ice? Cryosis or whatever it's called. Heavy Metal posted:Very cool review, and I agree.

Most badass shot I ever pulled off was in a shrine. Basically the way up was barred by this big rotating wall. I had to get propelled up by a platform that shot me into the sky, take aim at a crystal (which activated the structure to roll it into a new position) and then paraglide to the opening I just made. It was loving awesome. I should incorporate slow-mo shots more in my fights.

Half the time I don't even think its going to be something, I just end up playing around for a lark, and then bam, that was actually a puzzle and I did it right! Pollyanna posted:I got a question to go to the other lab via the first main lab quest which I interpreted as "'hey go to the other lab thanks' - main quest" so maybe I'm just loving stupid. Ah, that's A "main quest" but there's like 3 main quests that run in parallel, sounds like you've been burning on that one quest so far its pushing you into higher level areas. Maybe check out the OTHER main quests  You should have Free the Divine Beasts, which will lead into Reach Zora's Domain and Forbidden City Entry and other shenanigans more appropriate to earlier in the game. It is kinda confusing that there's multiple parallel main quests that you can do in whatever order you want, but that's how it is. A "main quest" is part of the story, while "Side Quests" are totally optional and involve other characters and not the main plot. If you want you can also head to Hyrule Castle right now, but obviously you'll just get one-shot by everything. There are some nice treasures though.

Yeah I really need a death counter at the end of this game. I died like three times trying to get down from the very first tower on the plateau cause I was super lazy to actually climb and since then it's just increased exponentially. I also cannot believe how good the checkpointing is, for me it's always been exactly right where I wanted to be

This is pretty much like OOT where if you want to, you can just warp and go grab 5 faeries almost at any time.

I spawned back before I had done the hunting/mining/photographing, and lost all that progress >:|
