Does he...? I could swear he didn't but I guess I'm going to have to double-check. I've been avoiding combat for the most part (since you get like no experience anyway) but having a weapon still feels nice even if it might be more cosmetic than anything.

So if I'm not really liking the whole combo system thing, can i just go straight ranged and still be okay?

I don't know what the power curve is like with ranged vs. melee since I went straight ranged, but once I got some levels and better bows / gunz ranged started being just fine for me. Some of the guns have alt-mode shots that do crowd control stuff, and you want to get good at dodging while aiming for things that beeline straight for your face. I have not, however, finished the game, so I'm not sure if there's a stark drop-off.

I have gone melee, and now I've found a special shotgun that I have no skills in, and it seems to be more powerful than my super expensive fully upgraded sword. So I guess yes. Though I also like the melee system, so I'm not going to switch. The ranged system is a rehashing of the musket interface from Risen 2-3, which was pretty bad, and only tolerable because it was easy to cheese combat sections of those games with it.

Pretty sure Sinda, the Goliet trader lady, is one. Check your minimap, it tells you what people are once you talked to them once. Maybe you've met one and didn't notice.

The only problem with the game so far is the fact that weapon requirements are too drat high. Being level 12 and only being able to equip a hatchet sucks.

Dear god armour is expensive. I'm beginning to think the 'Clerics' are just a MLM organisation for 1000%-mark-up official robes.

It's super weird because there ARE relatively low requirement weapons out there but they're super hard to find, and at some point around the early 30's in stats you start suddenly being able to equip loving everything, and get a new weapon every level if you invest your points right. They probably should've evened out the distribution a bit more...

Random thoughts: Plot-wise, the sequel hook seems kind of interesting. Possibly more interesting than the setup of this game. Also I have no idea what happened in the Domed City at the end because as I approached the "final door", I got a quest to go see something in the Domed City. And then when I entered the room, the quest auto-failed immediately. Going over there in the post-credits showed that something really bad had happened but not why or how. Weird quest triggers. Finally, if you didn't find it, every converter has a secret loot stash with elex potions and other good stuff if you're willing to use your jetpack a little at the very top.

First impressions seem to be that this is a Piranha Bytes game, with everything that entails. But that it's one of the better ones. Is that pretty accurate?

I'd say that's accurate, with the difference that from my experience Elex seems to be way less buggy than your typical PB game on launch. Apart from that, this review does a good job of highlighting both the positives and negatives imo, give it a read: http://ragequit.gr/reviews/item/elex-pc-review-english

Are there any energy weapons with a higher base damage than the Redeemer? It's hard to see what something will be once fully upgraded.

Really starting to get bummed out with the game around lvl 22. There's almost no quests left and the ones I do have I'm still somehow underleveled for. I've had to drag the combat difficulty down from difficult to easy just to be able to actually complete the quests I do have and even then a lot of them are borderline impossible.

After 7 hours, decided to quit on this one. Well, it's a turd. It's old-school, but we wouldn't have old school if new one wasn't substantially better. Nobody designs games like this anymore, for a good reason. If I want mental torture by lovely and lazy game design, I'll play Dwarf Fortress or whatever, at least it's rewarding and fun. I have no idea how it got rather high review scores, all it needs is Valusoft as publisher

Are you using grenades? Grenades are the solution to any sort of difficulty in this game, imho. They're just incredibly powerful. I always buy a full stack of them whenever I walk by a merchant, and they've never let me down.

The main issue I would have is that they let you do the insane boss fight with Nasty before proceeding along the main quest line.

The quest that gates you to the Converter assault quest has an enemy which requires a higher level to beat than anything in the actual Converter assault quest (gently caress it, almost everything outside of Xacor). The converter assault gates a shitload of act 3 quests and I literally ran out of content in trying to become strong enough to actually beat Nasty's recruitment quest. Why was I stuck grinding out monsters for levels 23-25 when the first thing happening after you beat the drat thing is that the game immediately rockets you into lvl 28? It's really dumb. Like this is an issue that could be resolved in 2 seconds by slightly de-powering the Colossus. But for some reason the developers didn't.

Oh, you have to go through the Ulbricht Assault to get the Converter quests? I thought that was obtained independently from Separatists. In that case... yeah, that's suboptimal.
