Where do I find a weapon-trader? I accidentally sold off my rusty hatchet to a trader while on a quest on the other side of the map and now all I have is a bow and no arrows.

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. :v:

Where can you find charisma trainers?

Man everyone in the Domed (:lol:) City are doing their best at convincing me that they're all deserving of an early death.

Positives:
Legitimately an engrossing open-world RPG which is so rare these days
Negatives:
The combat, oh god the combat

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.

All of them, I even double-checked online to be sure.




EDIT: The only quest-hub I haven't been to is Berserker Island.

I'm now lvl 23, I've dialed the difficulty all the way down to easy, I have no quests left and yet the last stage of Nasty's requirement quest is all but impossible. :wtc:

Oh my god and then the games figuratively drowns you in tens of thousands of XP as part of the converter assault quest. What in the actual gently caress, did no one playtest this game? :psyduck:

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. :psyduck:

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.

Finished the game, kinda surprised to see post-game victory tour. I can't even remember the last time I saw that in a game.

You can just talk to the separatist leader like right at the start of the game to get the shutdown codes.

The Ignadon converter does not work like the other converters in the game.

Animal trophies even at its first level breaks the game so hard I'm surprised someone didn't put it in the thread title.

The game's armor system ends up being super-boring for a number of reasons:

1. Armor values are mostly meaningless
2. You're just going to use faction armor anyway as soon as you get it
3. Therefore armor is virtually nothing but a money sink
4. It's not like you're going to use any of the helmets after you find your first pair of sun-glasses

Armor values are anything but meaningless, though?

Yes, you do get the choice between being wet tissue-paper and dry tissue-paper. Hugely important gameplay decision.

I tried Risen after playing through Elex and about 30 minutes in I quit because of what an unpolished mess it is.

This game has a metric ton of problems but what makes it stand out is that it's actually interesting, in spite of all its faults.

Game is now 50% off at gog.com. Anyone still playing and willing to comment on if patches have made things better?

Game was great for what it is at launch so I don't know what you'd need those patches for.
