I did an offering and got a sell-sword dude. Looks like someone to hire - I was expecting a Solaire-style NPC - but it just comes up with a "press X to hire" and X does nothing. Is that local co-op?
Is anyone else playing this apart from me and daqs? Feels like a fun one to feel our way round communally - quite keen to not go reading wikis.
I'm breaking my downloadable game policy here, as they always go down quick. Hope it's worth it. I like the idea of crafting a build which seems to be in.
Quick warning - choice of weapon/armour is a bit unclear
- when you're choosing your opening build
- when multiple things are in your inventory
On the latter - press R1/2 I think so that your 'attack' stat is visible, and then you at least get that value changing as your choose different weapons (and ditto armour). Took me a while to figure that out, as the default just has your base states (dexterity etc.) which don't change when you use different weapons.
Inventory also doesn' t show what class of weapon each is. Which is a bit frustrating as you might want to know that when choosing your path through the (immense) skill tree.
They're the only niggles though. The wife's out tonight, so I'm planning a good ol' sesh!
Remember to keep story stuff spoilered though peeps - I'm expecting you lot to overtake me pretty swiftly! Interested in mechanical stuff you sniff out though (but not wiki cheating pls).
I killed a second boss but only have been killed by a brutal third one. Fun times.
Btw square is actually how to see armour/weapon details. So there you go. Got a second guide bit still a bit confused by some sanctuary lark. Also making fairly rah upgrade decisions I may regret. And discovered charms.
I started as a chef. He throws potatoes which do no damage and had a weak pan attack.
I like the gameplay's feel but it feels dirty, so much does it lift. Praise the sun reference in first 5 minutes made me sigh. I hate the music. Too tired to best the first boss tonight but it's a good fight. Wish the text wasn't tiny. It's ok.
Fuckin hell this game has got a lot going on. Met about four new mechanics on my latest play session, some totally unexpected! I don't even want to say them less spoilees get tempted.
Killed the boss that I'd got all the way to a while back - turns out he was the forth in probably the natural order, not the second? Also did the third and found the fifth, but been bombing about linking places up etc.
Up to level 23 or something now i think. Weapons slowly getting more powerful - seems to be all about mashing square as quick as possible, with some tactical retreats and rolling, so not too sophisticated but still some fair depth.
Wish I could remember some bits of the map a bit better thought!! And some more stone guides would be nice, that's fo sho...
Also, still haven't worked out this whole
Spoiler:
apostate thing. Can I no longer make offerings at any old shrines? I'm onto my third god now, wish I could jump between all the sanctuaries, I can't even remember were they all are!
