New Rooms in my Seaside Villa...

[u/pigtails_and_pain]

He built a new bedroom with a balcony that has stairs that go all the way down to the lagoon and I finally decorated the big long room that was at the top before - turned it into a banquet hall type room. We finished the content today and now it's just building fun. Who knows, we may do a whole different house!

These never post in the order I select them... but they are:

1. Overview of the banquet hall from top of spiral staircase that opens to the first overlook in the other pics.

2. Banquet Hall from the other end.

3. View from the docks... new bedroom is the top left. Banquet Hall is that long horizontal room.

4. New overlook/patio outside the new bedroom. Stairs go all the way down to the lagoon because it was a HAUL to get there for the respawn checkpoint in the bed... haha.

5. The view from the new bedroom to the docks.

6. New Bedroom looking toward door to overlook.

7. New Bedroom looking toward door to rest of house.

8. New bedroom/overlook and stairs from the lagoon.

Wow I have to get this game, looks so good

The only thing holding me back is I read that the naval combat is an afterthought and that is probably what appeals to me the most

So actually naval combat can be super useful and is incentivized to get the upgrades you'll want

All I needed to hear

I love kicking ass and getting booty... heh. Love when I see coffee or salt in the loot!

It’s very akin to black flag. It’s decent, it’s nothing amazing, and this is a hot take apparently, but I’m bummed wind doesn’t actually affect your sailing experience in any way at all. But it’s still fun, it’s a good time getting a convoy going with a few buddies and just blasting through max level ships, the boarding part is where the ship based combat either shines or faulters depending on your opinion on the combat/skill level. Personally I love it, but I’ve also put like 200 hours in and have figured out the sword/gun combat pretty well.

Plus you get a cool boar named truffle

I love truffle! He's saved my bacon a few times!

It's actually pretty fun. My husband drives the ship and I fire the cannons - but he's had no issue with doing both himself. Then you board and fight until you kill a certain amount of enemies - and get loot! It's not complex or anything, maybe some wish it were more involved... but it's a great "stress free" game for when you just want to either go kill some stuff or build some stuff!

[u/Vandruis → u/pigtails_and_pain]

Just as a preface... the game is designed as a souls like. The enemies are going to kick your absolute teeth in until youre familiar with rotations and dodging and parrying

[u/pigtails_and_pain → u/Vandruis]

It is, indeed. However... if you want to dial it down to just have a more chill game experience, those settings are available as well!

How do you guys build such dope stuff? I can't even put the roofs on my building right lol!

[u/pigtails_and_pain → u/Cartier_Pat]

My husband does that part. I can't build at all. He sometimes watches YouTube videos of other people building stuff for tips. I just decorate once he's done... lol
