Hi all. I have been playing the game for about 42 hours now and thought I would just post what I have found so far and ask a few questions that I have about some of the systems/stats in the game.
First off, I have largely enjoyed my time so far, and my overall impressions have been positive. It is not perfect, and there is lots that I am not keen on, but overall the general quality of the game is enough to overcome my issues. The few issues I do have with it that I wondered what you all think are:
Stealing- It is too easy, and the economy is far too simplistic to accommodate it...I can steal a painting and then sell it to the owner a few seconds later. Also, I can sell rare weapons and armour to pretty much anyone. This breaks immersion for me and I wondered about the chances of it being changed at all through a patch or even a mod?
Personalities and Rock, Paper, Scissors- It is ok with NPCs but I am not a fan when my two characters do it between themselves tbh. I like the idea of the personalities, but atm they are too inconsistent and can lead to things that don't make much sense.
Also, a question about Rock, Paper, Scissors- I notice that sometimes I have different stats and I wondered if someone could break it down for me. For example, In an argument with one person, my character might have 5 points charisma, in another with somebody else a few seconds later the same character might have just 2 or 3 points charisma. There must be some kind of stat I am not getting.
Star Stones- I have been told that I can miss out on rooms in the Homestead by using them wrongly or missing out. Is this true?...any advice?
Crafting- Is there much point in getting in to it?...I never craft in RPGs,as I much prefer to use gear I find or buy, but I have a few points in it for arrow crafting. Is there any kind of plan to make it a bit more accessible? as atm I find it a bit tedious tbh.
Anyway, looking forward to getting on with the game over the next few days as I am off work. Atm, it is heading for around 7.5-8/10 for me. This is very nearly excellent.
Thanks for any advice and insight you might be able to offer
