Like most in this forum I love the game! Otherwise I would not be here trying to contribute.

What do I love?

  • I love the trust you display in the player. You trust me to explore the world, you trust me to experiment and have fun. I love that! Many games today are so anxious for you to have fun they throw stuff in your face and it just results in over-load and kills the fun for me. Thank you!
  • The art style! It’s just a pleasure to play! I love all of it!
  • The combat, I’ve been longing for a “slower” and more deliberate combat. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us with “more strategic runes”.
  • The exploration, I just love searching for and finding all the nooks and crannies you’ve created for us!

The list can be made a lot longer but the above are the main things for me.

What puzzles me?

  • The housing economy, after just a few hours I could afford “The Manor”. I never got to live in a cramped hovel and then progressively get bigger and nicer housing. Could the nicer housing be unlocked through story progress? On the other hand who doesn’t HATE moving? The tempo of acquiring new housing would have to be just right, or there could be a moving firm in the game… :thinking:
  • The duration of potions, I use potions to get an upper hand against bosses. I would prefer if they lasted about the same time as a boss fight, ~5minutes. I’m too old to remember to pop new potions during a fight.
  • The weight of NPC arms seem to be a bit off, when they idle? They sometimes look a bit like a “tube man”/”skydancer”. Especially after deliberate animations in dialogues.
  • Where does Ellsworth live!? Most of the important characters live or belong somewhere but poor Ellsworth doesn’t seem to have a place? Or I have just not found it.

Finally, I want to say that I really liked the Community Q&A with Thomas, it made me feel confident that you will create a game that you will love which means we will too! :slight_smile:

Filling in with additional thoughts after a week of playing but first a disclaimer: I do not wish to spoil too much of the game for myself and have therefore limited my play to all the areas up to and including Marin Woods and Lowland Meadows.

  • I’m using a 2h weapon and occasionally a bow, I do this by toggling between the 2h weapon(s) and one main hand slot that is empty (or has a 1h weapon) and use the bow there. This only takes a few clicks but I’d be nice if pressing L1 when using a 2h would temporarily unequip the 2h and bring forth the off-hand weapon and then back when letting L1 go.
  • A pure cosmetic thing but it would look cool if some of your other equipped weapons showed on your character (I’m sure others have mentioned this).
  • In the weapons dmg part of the character overview it would be convenient if there was an icon displaying the damage type (physical/fire/ice/etc.) for the standard attack with that weapon (due to infusions or inherent type).
  • When infusing equipment with a gem I’d like to see that gems effect on other pieces of equipment (as if you look at the gem normally) with the type of equipment I’m about to slot it into being bold or encircled.

Excellent suggestions sir!

I have a small tip for you if you ever decide to move again. You can buy a personal whisper from the Seneschal which is a piece of furnite you play in your house. Buy 2 of these, place them in both your old and new house and voila, now you can at least fast travel between them!

It doesn’t make it better, just a bit quicker.

This is a great tip! Quicker is better in this case! Thank you!
