You can start finding them in chests on Koboh, and once you start unlocking shops you can buy them in some of those as well.

When do you start finding hair and beards around the world? I'm just curious if it takes a while or if I've just managed to miss them so far. I've found a number of cool clothing changes, but I really want to find a mullet or something.

The full beard is right behind the first place you meet Mosey and Brutus (just up the path and to the right from the Southern Reach meditation point)

The mullet is in a tar pit with a little island in the center of it with platforms you can jump/wade between

I wanted to like blaster stance but it feels less satisfying than the regular stance. Regular stance is the best and coolest. I have crossguard for my second one when I feel like having Cal tell his opponent "you're hosed now".

Finally started playing and its great, but I'm running this on an intel 12k with a 4090 and 32 gb of ram and I'm getting 50 FPS at not even 4k resolution lol Really hope they can fix whatever is bottlenecking this poo poo.

For what it's worth, the performance seems to be the same at any resolution (and most graphical settings, aside from ray-tracing) so you may as well max it out.

The droid also helpfully mentions oppressing the local population to make that justified. :hai:

I finished the campaign last night. Great game. 10/10 story. If they pull off another of this quality level it'll be the best star wars trilogy since the original.


Spoilers about the finale

I really enjoyed the blaster standoff at the end. My viewpoint is Cal really hesitates because internally he's like "I -really- don't want to do this. But I've given him EVERY chance. Bang. Noshir Dalal and Cameron Monaghan should be immensely proud of this really fantastic moment they mo-capped.

A few questions for you all.

What saber stances are you taking? I always take the normal stance but I can't quite find a second stance that I love. They really should allow you to carry another one or all of them.

Are the cosmetics and perks at the various vendors ONLY found at the shop or are they found elsewhere in the game?

I use crossguard + blaster because those are easily the coolest ones and between them both I can deal with any situation

Anything in a store can only be found in that store. Nothing duplicates in the game world.

Yeah this has been my experience too, other stances just didn’t feel right. I’m sticking with default stance with crossguard for mini-bosses/bosses.

Blaster all the time. The staff thing is trash, the dual sabers looks cool but is in fact also trash. Normy is fine but it is just normy. Crossguard is just a shield and too slow to be fun. Stabby, stabby, shooty, shooty. Everything dies.

Crossguard isn't a shield, it's a greatsword. Even has the DS2 greatsword stance.

Spawn of Oggdo was annoying as hell until i realized that you can cheese him too:

You can trigger the doors to open and still jump out and stay on top. Hit him with the blaster, go find a dumb droid to beat on and get shots back, run back and blast him again because he doesn't regen. Rinse repeat. Fun game.

edit lol you can also: wedge yourself between the box and the wall and spam throw. the game thinks you aren't in combat so force regens hella fast. Fun game.

I feel sorry for those droids. They are clearly living beings with their own feelings, but they are treated like absolute poo poo. Created for war, given sentience, but made into slaves to serve really evil people. Then after the clone wars, they were all shut down, only for other groups of evil people to pick them up and recondition them again for war crimes.

Of course the first thing I find in the game after asking about haircuts and beards is a haircut. But it was the crewcut, which looks dumb, like it was painted on. So I'll just get to backtracking for the mullet once I'm at a good stopping point or the game sends me back there.

Crossguard/Staff is working for me. The former is effective on single targets, the latter chews through crowds (whether they're ranged or melee). One bonus for the Crossguard: the running attack is a drop kick. Like, full on WWE, Kiryu Kazama, Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible II

Several times now, I have run up to one of those glowy green trees and hit x to collect my seeds, only to drop kick that poor sapling into oblivion. It's funny every time.

Also managed to drop kick one of the big security droids for the killing blow. It made a big thunk noise, he froze and then slowly tipped over like something out of a movie.

Tldr drop kicking my way across the galaxy.

I'm using dual wield for my other staff because it's great for annoying fast enemies and the aoe double saber throw seems like it'll be good for crowds. Most importantly, the animation for switching from 2 sabers to the crossguard looks cool.

Oh poo poo, saying performance gets better after Coruscant is a bit of an understatement. Why is it now running at 80fps when an empty corridor in Coruscant gives 35? Is the game modelling the flight physics of all the not-visable flying traffic or something?

I can't believe that holo tactics is just those videos of putting various dark souls enemies in fights against each other, but in a game.

Also it gives three more to the "weird little guy" alien count when you unlock it. Character designers have just been having an absolute blast with this game.
