I didn't die too many times, but it was about 50/50 if I felt like resetting or doing the run. They don't quite make your corpse a big glowy spot so sometimes it's a pain to even find.

It's not glowy, but it's at least on the map, so it typically wasn't a big deal finding it.

I didn't really mind the mechanic since in practice it barely even mattered. It wasn't a great idea, but I don't see it as some huge blemish on the game.

Hammer isn't optimal, but I used it a fair amount anyway because it's very kinetically satisfying when you have a whole lot of enemies bunched up

Yeah, someone told me you would miss sidequests because of plot developments quite often so I just kinda compulsively kept on top of sidequests.

They were probably just trying to help, but, gently caress that person tbqh.

Lol might've been me :v:

I was posting that in the nier thread cause I had missed a few late game sidequests due to plot stuff, and regretted it because plot stuff.

But they were all late game, early game you really should just get to fast travel first, makes life easier.

It's my go-to because if you charge it and kite a tiny bit, you can end entire encounters in one drop. Three hammers cover a lot of ground.

What looks the coolest is the most optimal, it's a single player game so you don't need to worry about optimizing poo poo unless you're genuinely struggling. Even then I'd rather turn the difficulty down than use something I didn't think looked cool.

I have had that experience, yes. The why and how of it will have to wait for some time, however. (It was not moose-related.)

Personally, I'm still trying to figure out what was behind the 3 bodies clipping through each other on the edge of a platform.

I wish I hadn't waited until I was a few routes in to begin reading this, although this tip is a day old, so I'd still have been hosed. Just to show how loving stupid this is, I was unaware of fast travel. I got to literally the quest before it unlocked in the story and started going around trying to take care of gear and weapons early.

yeah I hit that part too and was like "holy gently caress if there's a point of no return this must be it"

thankfully not, uh, quite to the degree you did it though. :stare:

Got the game today, and I've just unlocked fast travel.

So SO glad I'd already read Id's advice on powering through to get it before jumping into the side-quests. So glad.


Anyway, about how far into the game is the one truly missable thing? I want an idea of how long I can play for before I have to start worrying about it.

The missable thing is end game stuff, meaning you can check it out after you've seen all main endings. It's related to a side quest you are very likely to unlock last in the entire game.

There's also one or two side quests that are vaguely missable? I'll mention that again when they become relevant just so other people don't run into the same trap. But a friend of mine just spent hours trying to get them to trigger again and had to restart his file because he's obsessive about 100% and didn't do them when he could.

Like I said, I'll bring it up when we get to it. I hope it's not ultimately missable and it'll be nice to learn if it is or not.

Speaking of fish though; the first time I played the game, I spent ages just chilling with the non-hostile machines and fishing in the radical atmosphere.

I did all of the city quests when they opened but don't just run across the map for a quest. Also gently caress that crater and the sidequest that abuses it.
