Insolentius Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The QoL changes are appreciated, but are there any plans to tackle the (lack of) challenge/difficulty? Level scaling? Adding weight to ammo? Having companions use ammo? Anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really regret paying for this game that won't play properly Edited March 17, 2020 by Raumulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurenXIV Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thank you for the update I bought the game several months ago because I love RPG games, but I haven't been able to progress very far (I'm still in the first location and have only played for a few hours) because the game causes me to feel some motion sickness. It isn't the head bobbing thats the problem for me, I don't think, it's the zooming/FOV sprinting effect that causes me the most issues, especially in combat. I'm generally ok with most first person games I've played before (though a friend convinced me to buy Borderlands 2... I had to stop playing after a few minutes because it made me feel nauseous), though I'll always play in third person if I have the option because it lets me see my character, feels more immersive and is less likely to cause sickness for me. I hope it would be possible for a future update to add an option to remove the sprinting zoom effect so I can play the game without feeling ill? Or maybe a third person option which would fix the issue I'm having also because a third person game has never had the same effect on me. I would really like to play more of the game, but I haven't really played it at all except a few times when I first bought it. I've even been tempted to try to play the game without sprinting, but eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt BK Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Confirming ultrawide (2560x1080) doesn't work for me either on fullscreen, it forces me to select 1920x1080 and play with black bars still as there is no option for ultrawide resolutions. I was really excited to see in the update notes that ultrawide is finally supported, so I'm not sure what went wrong with the update. Can you please update us and let us know when ultrawide fullscreen mode will truly be available? Edited March 17, 2020 by Matt BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltc Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The read.me above for 1.3 seems pretty clear that apparently the only Ultrawide support is for loading screens & cinematics. "Added support for ultra-wide monitors (loading screens & cinematics)" It's very well known that I don't make mistakes, so if you should stumble across the odd error here and there in what I have written, you may immediately deduce--quite correctly--that I did not write it...

Hardtarget24 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 17.19GB update through the Windows Store?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOPECLY4K Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Can you all please enable 3rd person and over the shoulder view modes in the next patch? Also can you add a new giant creature named "The Submerger". This character drags you under ground and saves you for dinner later. Her web like adhesive heals youd hp while in her grasp. Eventually by subdueing her she can become a companion. Just a little razzle dazzle i came up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uuuhhii Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 will there be a way to add 5 or 10 skill point at once? click a skill all the way to 100 after retraining is not very comfortable experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUnsungHero26 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Late to this, but great update! Text size was much needed, and idle camera button is a cool option. Regarding the idle camera, I think it would be nice if we could manually adjust the camera angle ourselves. The angle of the rotating camera isn't great for screenshots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salty_Onionn Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hello, I’m a huge fan of the game but I was wondering if there will ever be a 3rd person addition to the game? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
