Greedfall Thread

Well, confirmed we create our own character, and is that a male Native on that early access roadmap 'first companions' that I see?

I hate when they act like knowing romance options will ruin the game, when in reality it just informs us if the game is something that will appeal to us on that level or not.

If game devs don't want to say who the romances are then 90% of the time it's for good reason. Usually that the options are incredibly uneven when it comes to choices.

I still can't get over Owlcat releasing a companion trailer that only showed straight, and f/f romance options and somehow thought that was a good look for them, and then they had to scurry about and make it clear that Marazhai was also a companion and romance (they tried to keep him more 'secret') because it was giving them bad optics to look like they had zero m/m romances. (Not that confirming Marazhai was good optics either considering *waves in his general direction.*)

If companies are keeping romances hidden you can guarantee they're trying to hide something. I'd rather know than spend 30 hours trying to romance a straight guy whilst locking myself out of the only same sex option. (I'd honestly be shocked if there was more than one.) Kurt at least lets you down very quickly but I still cringe at how much it was shoved in your face that he was not a same sex option because he made it clear he only likes women okay even if you didn't flirt with him.

not a twink Yecht Fradí   he looks so young for my taste.... hope the ingame model is better

Looks wise Nílan is not giving me much at this time. However, I have learned that voice and personality in games goes much further than looks so I'll wait and see. I hate that they announced he's a romance but not who can romance him. v.v

they are really genderswapping companions with prior factions, thats cool haha

Well Nilan looks def better in-game thanks the gay gods, I hope he is bi and sweet romance 

edit. nevermind it seems this one is the main character haha Nilan is the other one, he is boring looking jeeeeez




this is Nilan, I dont get how Andrew had a more unique face model yeeeeears ago than Greedfall 1 and now 2 companions lol

So, I finally started Greedfall, 4-5 hours into it so far and not sure about it. On the one hand, I like that is an rpg with the design I like in terms of dialogues, romances, voiced custom protagonist, world hubs, etc in a very different setting then just sci fi and medieval fantasy. However, I'm having a hard time getting into the lore for this one, now the characters themselves for the most part seem interesting enough so far and I enjoy my protagonist but all the political stuff in the game with all the factions seems overly complicated for the sake of being complex rather than interesting. There are also weird inconsistencies, where I just met Siora and added her to my companions and next side mission, she is super caring for Kurt lol, as if they spend a long time together. There's also this story moment where you arrive to this new city and a native is being murdered in the street and your char and Siora do nothing or even react to the murder until later. I understand they can't do anything about it but at least show my chars care lol.

Anyway, those things aside I'm curious how the chars develop. Yes, I'm sad Kurt no homo me but alas, will see if I like the game enough for me to get it on steam and mod him XD. But I like Vasco so far so I'm fine with him. My main gripe with the game though is the gameplay is sooo tedious. The quests have like 20 steps and half of them involve going back and forth on the same npcs over and over again, going through buildings with 40 doors.Like god is so frustrating to navigate. On the bright side, I like that there's many ways to tackle missions, on the negative side of this, most of them require certain upgrade/skill that you probably won't have so early on in the game, so you are screwed for trying to sidequest so early in the game.

But yeah, this is the first chunk of hours, will see as I make more story progress and stop torturing myself with these side missions, if things kick in. After all, Cyberpunk took me a while until the heist kicked in that really got me into the whole thing, so I guess will see if that happens here for me or will just be a whole session just for Vasco lol. (Also they won't let me be unequip gear and be shirtless, minus several points).

Yeah. The combat in technomancer was bad bad. Especially early game-if you aren't dodge rolling all the time it's so easy to be one-shot by someone off screen. Balances out eventually...but darn starting that game was $hi+.
