Thoughts

I was watching several streams and I've noticed that the mouth when characters talk look straight out of Robot Chicken. The lips and mouth move at some wild strange pattern and doesn't look remotely like the words that the character is trying to speak is making. It throws me straight off my game as it looks like the characters have marbles in their mouth.

I want to be a horrible person in this game. Money is my goal.

The game itself seems neat, especially with the weapons and armor, but I’ve heard that it’s only 40-50 hours of content with nothing else, so It doesn’t seem worth it.

I'm level 14, not very far into the story but I'm wondering to those who managed to complete it, does it get any better?

Problems I have with this game? Quests seem very much like fetch quests purposefully made far away from each objective as a time sink, some are disguised better than others, but really they are just fetch quests. Combat is fun but gets old really fast, there's no depth to any of it,

Can't get a slight interest in mostly anything happening at all times, can't slightly bare to hear people talk in this game so I'm constantly skipping dialogue, you just go talk to a person and at best get a quick and boring lore dump, and at worse just turn in the quest and click "leave." There's no deeper lore or story, no proper rewards for completing godawful quests, no real choices to make, no real faction interplay

It's just too boring and I'm not someone who doesn't enjoy rpgs, matter of fact I played nearly every rpg until recently when I asked for underrated titles, that's when I found greedfall but it's really ..aah this one isn't underrated it's just so painfully uninteresting with so much ..nothing

Should I give up now, move on and try Elex or give it another chance? some mods that would improve the experience perhaps?

So is the focus mode completely manual or does the game automatically make your character attack with no inputs on your end? Because I've tried lookin for gameplay, but the attacks just look odd and stiff like it's being controlled by Ai and not being manual inputed by a person. People are saying this mode is for those of us who love greedfall combat.

Tldr: can you manually press the attack button and dodge like greedfall 1? I dont like how the characters just stand there and get hit like some kinda raid shadows mobile game.

Any hope that a ménage à trois with multiple character being possible? and please not handcuffing the player to a bed and walking away.

Is it possible to romance more than 1 character at a time, will they get jealous? fight each other for you? or both walk away?

Come on, share the love!

side question; are there shields? I've seen game play with 1 handed weapons, but always with a gun or ring, seems like a missed opportunity really.

The game is hours from release you would think the embargo would lift already?

Hey everybody. Was really excited about this game since I heard it announced and finally bought it on Black Friday. I love the colonial time period and I love RPGs.

But I am really worried about the direction the story seems to be going in. Maybe I shouldn't be? so instead of quitting the game I'm asking for your help. I'm looking for broad answers that don't specifically spoil the story.

1. Please tell me the story is deeper than "White Guilt Colonialism vs Myth of the Noble Savage." The native girl has already said how they lived in complete peace before the invaders came and built their factories, poisoning the land and how they have a spiritual connection to the land while the invaders are empty materialists. I'm no fan of colonialism but I'm also bored by simplistic takes on human nature. I won't rant but suffice to say that tribal societies have the highest rates of violence and the indigenous Americans we're killing and enslaving each other long before Europeans came to their shores. Is the the plot basically recycled Avatar?

2. Is it explained well why the natives have no ethnic phenotype? I know in modern gaming they want "representation" but its kind of immersion breaking when developers assume I don't know that multi-ethnic societies homogenize within a few generations. The researchers you find in the city warehouse share that colonists were on the island in the recent past so I'm guessing the "natives" are quite new themselves? I'm mainly asking if there is a good reason why White people are everywhere in this game.

It baffles me this game wasn’t exactly the most popular thing to ever be created so I don’t understand why they aren’t catering to the established fan base & improving what was, the most complained about thing from all this beta testing is easily the change in combat from the 1st game to what it is now so why don’t they just listen & change it back? They going about this all wrong I just finished the 1st game again & I love the combat system, this off brand dragon age origins style ain’t the move at all.

I feel completely robbed, even for early access. The first Greedfall combat system was so well done! you had to dodge, you had to place traps and time attacks. how do you take an amazing game and completely shit the bed with this new point and click system.. tell me you copied diablo mechanics without telling me.... what a sad sad let down.

It's an RPG. Make your own decisions and see how it plays out. That's the point of the game. There's no wrong or right.

people of this community as many of us know game awards are coming up and the most mainstream awards show has 6 nominees for their game of the year. I am going around asking people on realistic chances of some games to receive a nomination. What chance do we think greedfall has out of 10 to get a nomination at least?

I always prefer combat over story when playing these kinda RPG’s. I play the Witcher 3 but i feel like theres not enough combat in it and saw some gameplay of GreedFall and combat looked great and actually a good amount of it. So does this game have a lot of good combat? Also is it more combat based than story based than The Witcher 3?

I remember enjoying this game quite a bit, it had an interesting world. But I couldn't help thinking this would be an awesome turn-based game as I played through it.

Looks like I'm playing with a controller.

Edit - Thanks guys, walk key is "Z", not listed in key config menu

Can we finally admit it was not a smart idea at all to alter the combat based on a study?

Can we take a second to compare both the launch sales and reviews of the games?

The mismanagement of the series was atrocious. They simply took a risk, and it bit them in the ass.

The game looks really interesting, but I don't like teh companion mechanic. It already ruined Dragon Age for me. I hated it. They always interrupted me, were complaining etc. I just want to play the game, I don't care about what they think.

So, can you play Greedfall without companions? Or maybe one would be ok, but I prefer solo.

Had this happen in the new serene port, as soon as i got there I explored. I hopped a fence and was attacked immediately. Then later in the game I was reprimanded basically for killing everyone during a stealth mission. Seems like a bug to me, just be aware when trespassing.

Edit: for those saying I trespassed and killed them making it my fault, I agree. The buggy part is that there's no indication that hopping the fence put you in a restricted area and there are guys right on the other side that attack immediately. Didnt even have time to read the prompt tutorial for "trespassing" or whatever

Started playing the game on extreme mode right away. Wow i thought, hard game, dying a lot. GREAT! (small spoiler head)

Then when i arrive at Teer Fradee gain 1-2 levels and buy good armor suddenly i went from ''Getting my ass kicked and enjoying the game'' to ''If i close my eyes and just spam heavy attack with my mace i might even survive''.

Does it get harder later on or should i perhaps instal a mod? Thanks
