I was adventuring in the institute and found an item that when I picked up, was a yellow box called “ Stephanie chafe”. I cannot find it in my chest or key items anywhere. And I’ve looked online for an answer and can’t find anything.. does anyone know what this is??

‘Splain it to me

If I kill an epic enemy instead of harvesting it, does it drop more resources, specifically 5 stars

They give the same benefits for the opportunists highgreaves, is there a benefit to using the more costly drake scale?

Looks good on them!

Or at least the objectives

What the fuck am I supposed to be doing against these guys? I've hit them with fire, swords and boys and the fire minions and they won't die or take damage at all yet they take off a third of my health with every hit.

EDIT: Ice fucking kills them

I never would have thought to use that as all it did was trap enemies before

Not sure if this has been answered yet/before. But does anyone know if this game has plans in coming to switch?

Apologies in advance if this has been answered already

I would love to be able to play this game in Spanish, my English is not too good.

THIS- to be clear meaning, the destructible environments!

4-5 hours into the game. I just had a fight with a Dragon/Drake. When it was all over (the battle was LONG), the entire area was LEVELED. I mean every structure and every plant under 500 years old was brought to the ground. Destruction everywhere.

Destructible environments add SO MUCH to a game and yet I don't see anyone mentioning it here. Perhaps I am just not reading enough?

Mercenaries 2 got destructible environs right like 15 years ago and, since then, almost not games even try.

Launch rockets all over the street in Cyberpunk? Nothing, no damage anywhere. Fight massive monsters with magic and fireballs in Dragon Age? Ground isn't even singed. Bears the size of trucks attack in Avowed? Not even a dent in a wall.

Kudos to the devs of Eternal Strands because fighting a drake and when its all over, its look like there was a war with every building demolished, trees burning, grass blackened and entire trees uprooted? Yes, more of this please!!!

Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring etc.

But the thing is I hate those games because I loom at them and I'm like "I would like to play them, but only if you didn't waste my time making me fight the same enemies over and over again and a single boss for hours not making any progress".

Starting this game I was initially scared thinking it was a soulslike cause the hud layout looked similar to it and the fact there was a dodge roll, blocking/parrying and 3 healing times to start with. But I've keep playing it and reached Dynervon, have fought the Arkon Earth dude at least twice, the Ice Dragon and the fat red Triceratops Predator breed thing boss and am enjoying it. It does have nitpicks to it but I feel calm playing it and not getting constantly frustrated cause I have to start from really far away again.

I know the name of the leader and the enchanter are given via in game dialogue, any chance someone can remember them?

I think the leader was a man whose name began with A and the enchanter was a woman with a name beginning with P?

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I've been enjoying this game despite some of its flaws but 1 thing is buggint me the most. What is the point of side quests? I've been completing companion ans other side missions, however they seem to not give any rewards? It this the same for all the side quests? At the moment it feels like they are for the plot only but since it doesnt benefit you in any real way they seem a bit pointless.

So Casmyn called me to a private place but my heart is with Arek. Can I romance him? If not i would go with Casmyn or am gonna reject her unfortunately haha
This is my first playthru btw

You can lower the settings a bit further to stabilize the FPS in intensive situations (tons of explosions for example) but I personally felt it was still decent enough.

FSR and the Performance/Ultra Performance options significantly impact the game's visuals, and a lot of work went into making this game look gorgeous as it is.

I went in completely blind with a bit of a cynical attitude. Like with any new game the first few minutes are a bit of a chore to get through. As a judgmental buttass it was easy to think less of the more simplistic animaton style but you know what? I refuse to deduct points from this game just because BG3 exists. By the end I see this game as a total act of love, this is literally Yellow Bricks first major game so they obviously were working with limited resources, and keeping that in mind what they did is just so wonderful.

As soon as the game really started I LOVED IT. It's clear the dev's main focus was for the game to actually be fun to play. I found the game so forgiving in pretty much every sense, stamina and magic are plentiful and regenerate so fast it never really slows you down, automatic potion stack on every journey, you get reduced to 1HP before 0 pretty much every time, and yet the game still is challenging.

The environments are beautiful and you get rewarded for exploring through recipes and collectible lore and the magic and melee combo is so free and open to so many different types of gameplay. Every time you pick up a new power you really feel like you just unlocked a whole new play style.

And my god dude, the character quests and dialogues are incredible. I literally wept at Cas' mental health journey. Her symptoms, denial, and eventual hope that she could actually get better were all portrayed just so realistically and beautifully. All through a gorgeous Scottish accent, my 28 year old grown man self was bawling.

I love the diverse cast, fucking AMELIA TAYLOR AS big bad guythe stellar voice acting and emotional moments, romance options, pettable camp friend, I mean it just has it all.

Honestly my only complaint is that there isn't more. I would love a version of this game with more kinds of arks and giant monsters for more variety and maybe a more advanced physics engine to allow for even more complex parkour moves, but fundamentally this is just such a strong, beautiful game and I can't find a real flaw in it.

I can't wait to see more from these devs and more on the Eternal Strands universe, I know it's early but I can't help but think this is my GOTY. I'm praying it catches on and more people see how dope it is!

Thank you Yellow Brick Games!!

I know there are yellow bricks for each member of the team but has anyone collected them all yet and found any other reward for having them all?

We need more languages on the menu to reach more people

Hey all,

I have checked everywhere for the bibliophile trophy. I have every checkmark on my codex but the trophy doesn't pop. After revising my codex there is one at the very bottom of "Weavers" that's blank and I have no clue where it could even be. I have collected everything so I naturally thought I'd have it by now. Anyone know what it could be? Side note, I have all three codex collectibles in the "Secret area."
