Sucks, perhaps you can get a refund and revisit after patches and a sale? Maybe a hardware issue. It seems fairly well optimized for my build luckily. Intel i7 and a gtx 1060 - I had a AMD before and always had problems with Crytek's engine. Stuttering, ctds etc

Yep, especially trainers it seems. Captain Bernard is important - I only learned combos from him, as it turns out he can teach you to riposte, which is a really important skill. Couldn't figure out why they were dodging my attacks and pommeling my face, while I couldn't .. now I can!

So do any of you have any tips for sword fighting, 'cause I suck at it :D

Moved to Beta bugs and Support.

I folded and bought it, even though I usually never buy games one day one - no bugs for me so far and it's one of the best games I've played in years! Takes me back to the early days of Baldurs Gate and the likes, with scribbled notes to keep track of the gameplay mechanics and quest.. The level of detail is awesome - as a historian with something of a fascination with the 15th century, it's almost like holodeck experience :D Love the lack of handholding as well and very free approach to any quest. Did install the 'save whenever' mod, just to avoid CTDs and the likes - luckily no such things so far.

Man that's an unhealthy amount of xrays to get for a bag...

Just started it and I'm very impressed, it's not great, but all the individual parts are well crafted and are working well together. Acting ranges from good to acceptable, the story elements work with theme (Cuberpunk noir) and the action is evenly paced and fittingly violent.

The best trailer I've seen from Pdx, which worries me. Are they becoming mainstream

Sweden is quite small and very quiet, they've probably overheard him talking about it loudly at home.

Interesting game - Stellaris can be hella unbalaced, but they've managed to make that interesting at least.

Couldn't see it either, but it was there in mobile mode.

So I just discovered this modder (Dragbody) and .. I'm blown away - he's modded basically all the important NPCs in Fallout New Vegas and it looks spectacular. Makes the game look better than Fallout 4 Here are some examples

That was a fun journey to follow. it really felt like watching a niche part of videogame history unfold.

The end of Telltales The Walking Dead season 1 was probably the most gutwrenching emotional experience, that I've ever had in gaming. But Zahua's personal quest in Pillars of Eternity really affected me. I was distraught for a few days afterwards

Pfft, overachiever... I barely make it halfway through one new game a year.

It's very widespread here and deeply concerning - and there's a very aggressive surge of xenophobia sweeping all of the western world. Friends and relatives who travel extensively in the US tell similar tales of a growing anomosity and racial divides though. I saw it Africa as well, Morroco in particular are really beginning to disdain white Europeans. Not to say 'whatabout x' but more that this seems to be a growing global problem.

Gotta agree with the Norwegian there - if you can only visit one Scandinavian country, go to Norway. Denmark and Sweden have their unique charms, for sure. But Norway has some of the most breathtaking narture I've ever seen. If you're going to Europe I'd actually recommend Poland or Croatia. Both are kinda off the beaten track and are both the less crowded, cheaper and much friendlier versions of central- or southern Europe.

Then we'd all be running around with salt loaded shotguns at least.

This was kinda my take of the movie as well - but I don't agree with the feminist perspective. Rather I'd say it was humanist.. I didn't see it point specifically at 'masculinity', as there are more than enough violent women in the movies as well (Rey is very violent), I'd rather say it criticized the unreflected impulse for violence and the use of it as a tool in and on itself. Something that is prevalent in war and situations of distress - I saw it as a rather classic Hollywood anti-war 'Beware not to stare into the abyss'. Like we've seen from many of Lucas and JJ Abrams icons like Kubrick. The finale with Luke being the embodiment of the pseudo-Christian symbolism - that violence and dark impulses are only defeated with perseverance and non-violence. Had Luke met violence with violence, he would've lost.

In general a good strategy is to bring along something that kills vessels - Abydon's Hammer is particularly effective. If you don't have the expansions though, good AoE wizards spells like Adra Gaze, and priest spells that protect you from whatever debuffs you get, can buy you the precious seconds you need to take out the damage dealers.

You'd have to really screw up the direction or script, to fail with both The Rock and Jack Black. That's a hefty charisma injection in any movie.

A big benevolent government requires massive civilian oversight, otherwise it becomes a totalitarian oligarchy.

Happy New Year. Had a pretty awesome party with friends and loved ones. With a crazy last party at the bar where me and the gf met. That lasted until around 8 in the morning 2017 was a work year for me though, but all in all pretty good. Looking forward to '18. And looks like you had a party TN did anyone do anything stupid, that ended up being great?

Good to see you've hit your stride with this game. It can be a frustrating experience from time to time, with the random factor, but when it clicks - it clicks.

Unless you're Sony or Bethesda, the industry standard is to wait until you're about a year out from launch to announce. Which, given the standard reaction when a game takes longer than a year or two to come out after it's announced, is a good idea. Just looking at the reactions on the Taleworlds forums, in response to Mount and Blades' sequal Bannerlords taking this long to make, I see why developers aren't as forthcoming with info as fans want.
