Anyone else playing this? It's amazing. I haven't been sucked into a game like this since Red Dead Redemption 2.

It's basically half rpg, half hardcore early 15th century Bohemia simulator.

I got ripped with the priest in the first one. Incredible game, looking forward to this one

I'm thinking of trying this one next.

I picked this up and it's pretty good so far. I'm poor and I suck at fighting

[BrewerGeorge]

The fighting is my major hurdle to try it.  I don't usually like this much realism in my video game fights.

[Stains_not_here_man]

I'm getting better at fighting. This game is really pretty fun. There's been one quest so far that really pissed me off but I got past it. I won't spoil it other than to say even if you're not playing as a thief, don't neglect lockpicking...

I'm on it now. The prologue is annoying, but I've finally lost the asshole and hit the open world.

I still find combat annoying, mostly because moving a mouse is not a substitute for pushing a stick and does not work well with the 'direction-attack' methodology, not at all. (I'm thinking of trying my controller for fighting, actually.)

Also the fact that it does not allow me to choose which monitor to use full screen is bullshit. Windowed mode doesn't work because the most pointer is not confined to the game screen and it's all too easy to find yourself accidentally clicking outside the window and losing focus - while the enemies keep pounding you.

I'm playing on PS5. Combat is still a pain in the ass with a controller but I imagine with a mouse it could be a pain.

[BrewerGeorge]

It's all but impossible with a mouse. I just got killed five times in a row before calling it quits for the night. I'll set up the controller tomorrow.

[BrewerGeorge]

Okay, two things.

First, the mouse I was using was failing. It was acting odd last night, but not bad enough that I realized. This evening it failed for real.

Second, the new controller made a massive difference. Combat is doable and I've finally been able to do combos on demand rather than with luck. I'm trying to use it full time and learning slowly. I do miss having all the buttons and the instinctive mouse look is not quite there yet with the right joystick. But I'm getting there. The only thing I haven't been able to manage at all is lock picking; for that one I have to go back to the keyboard. It's an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C 2.4GHz.

[Stains_not_here_man]

The lock picking mechanic SUCKS so bad. There's one quest where you will need to pick a lock and I had to reload my save like 30 times to get post it.

Yet I'm still inclined to steal everything thats not nailed down lol
