I had a feeling from the get-go when it was announced that Indivisible just had too many party members for its own good.

It has too many party members and not nearly enough fights, in my opinion. Also the gameplay pacing is just... Insane? The balance is just seriously not there, too, it becomes extremely easy after the first "act" of the game.

You'll know when it happens. Accordion Man posted:I had a feeling from the get-go that Indivisible just had too many party members. Honestly that isn't the issue. The issue is entirely that since all upgrades are entirely optional they erred on the side of making level gain powers a lot more significant, which means if you DO collect gems you end up excessively powerful. By the endgame you literally just use one or two characters with huge AOE attacks and win every fight instantly. cheetah7071 posted:Is it really so short that you've already finished it? I got my review copy a week ago. It took me about 15 hours to finish. I didn't get every gem but I came close. Edit: Also they give you attacks that let you damage enemies on the sidescrolling adventure screen which veers from silly (you can toss spears to reduce enemies to nil HP) to broken (there is a boss which I literally stunlocked to death by punching it with an upgraded overworld attack rather then engaging with the combat system.)

I'd also like to mention that the sheer amount of movement abilities you get is a tad overwhelming, especially with them all having various button combinations to execute. Sometimes I have to stop for a second or two to remember specific movement combinations. That might be because I play on keyboard with remapped controls though, maybe it's easier with a controller.

Uh, so, how come Kushi doesn't have any Iddhi attacks and Phoebe's seems to do... Literally nothing? It's really bugging me because I wanted to use Phoebe in my party real bad (second only to Naga Rider) but if her Iddhi attacks are bugged she's just gonna hit the bench...

Thanks for all the DQ11 answers, just had one more question: Is there any downside to selling your old equipment? I know they were used to forge new stuff in the old games but that doesn’t seem to be the case in this one.

I know they were used to forge new stuff in the old games but that doesn’t seem to be the case in this one. There is a middle game quest where you need two pieces of equipment (you can buy or make them and they arent rare or hard to get) but outside of that not really. I haven't really done it because for a DQ game money is plentiful

And then that's it. Later in the game are unique weapons that you just keep upgrading like 3 times but you can't sell them once you pick them up so no need to worry.

There's a weird quest in Greedfall where the player finds that some rich dick has not only illegally re-opened a dangerous abandoned mine, but he's also been enslaving locals to work there. But the game wouldn't let me kick the door in a kill the baddies until I went back to base and found documentation that yes, slavery is illegal. Only once I had a written permission slip to kill the slave owners was I allowed to kick the door in and clean house. Still a happy resolution, but I have no idea why the devs thought it would be a good idea to bring bureaucracy into a side quest as cut and dry as "slavery is bad".

You don't just go in shitkicking, you get a warrant and ask them to surrender peacefully. If they don't, THEN the door gets kicked in and people get shot/stabbed/fireballed.

If they don't, THEN the door gets kicked in and people get shot/stabbed/fireballed. My character's not a cop, though. She's a diplomat. She didn't have the legal authority to do anything after I found the documents. And up until that quest, my title of Legate seemed to only mean "I can do whatever the gently caress I want." It just struck me as very odd, since I'd had the option to flaunt regulations and laws before. It was pretty funny at the end of the quest when I had to fight the slave owner. I struck him repeatedly with a giant flaming broadsword, then finished the fight by shooting him square in the face with a musket, and then my character turned around and announced "The criminal has been arrested!" Maybe I should shift to roleplaying as someone who was hit very hard on the head after the tutorial.

Legality = Morality, a popular lib position, has some interesting corollaries such as the incredible power of playing by the book which binds you and must be satisfied with your documentation or else you are not allowed to stop a bad thing. This is of course not actually true cuz cops and judges and on and on due bad rule breaking (and immoral) poo poo all the time but I'm not surprised it would pop up in media like that, even if very goofily and tonally inconsistent with the rest of the game.

That's another odd thing about it. The game has already started setting up that the most evil poo poo happening is happening inside the law, but forgot about that for this one side quest. Maybe I was just supposed to find it sooner, when my character was supposed to be more ignorant of the hosed up nature of colonialism? I dunno.

Greedfall works best when you don't think too hard about things. Also, hope you don't run into the game breaking bug I did that's still not patched.

Ok, Indivisible question: How do you get out of Tai Krung city once you're done there? There's an impossible jump at the entrance, and the new movement powers doesn't let me past it. Edit: Ok nvm I figured it out, though it's funny that it's never shown before that area that you can bounce on spikes.

Oh, Dragon Star Varnir came out on PC. Is this one of the good Idea Factories or not? And, yes, I know the best Idea Factory gets is "Sort of okay if you squint" but I'm kind of a sucker for their stuff for some inexplicable reason.

Also, Yan's animations are making me very uncomfortable. Edit: man, this game has so many party members, it's ridiculous. I'm picking up random party members off the street. And they all have incredibly well made and distinct animation sets as well. I'm getting the feeling that someone on the team is really passionate about character design.

I finished Lisa! Although even looking at alternative stuff on Youtube I'm still a bit lost on the overall background story. I do like that it did the whole The Last Of Us thing with one girl being touted as the salvation of humanity and the worst dad in the world committing atrocities to protect her and taking away her choice in the matter but much better because they weren't all high on their own farts. A Sometimes Food posted:I mean except all the times Geralt just kinda stumbles into monsters anyway, he might try and get a bounty retroactively but usually folds if none is offered. That's more self-defense. Gerry's out there to get paid, not to be a hero. No money, no (dead)monster.

I can't piece together what happened to Lisa what was and her involvement with Brad and Buzzo. Did she commit suicide at some point when Brad was still young? And how does Buzzo's involvement with Dr. Yado and Joy affects that or have anything to do with how much he wants to get back at Brad?

Ran into an early enemy in Indivisible that can two-shot my dudes even with perfect guarding. I'm not sure what I'm missing or doing wrong and I have to say I don't really feel any motivation to figure it out. It's a beautiful game but...that kind of seems to be it.
