Hey guys, first off I like to say that I come from long background of playing cRPGs, been playing RPGs for over 20 years now and specially I am a big fan of turn based combat so I bought this game when it was in Alpha state and I tried playing it time after time but could never get past Cyseal but now I am honestly trying to play this game and beat it once and for all as the second game is about to come out later this year.....but once again I am faced with the same issue that has been putting me off this game.......
Now I have been playing this game for 16 hours (as per my steam record) and for the most of it, I was just running around Cyseal, talking with this NPC or that....had probably one encounter with skeletons (in that tomb after landing on the coast at the start) and one encounter with orcs, near the entrance to Cyseal...and I am getting pretty bored with this lack of combat encounters and far too much talking.......
Is it going to be like this, in the whole game, that you talk for 2 hours and then have couple of combat encounters and then again you talk for 4 hours before finding any combat?
Or does the game pick up later?
Thanks
I guess that you, like me, are an old Baldurs gate player that thought that the BG saga was one of the best games ever created? Well, even I after about 10 hours running around Cyseal and bored out of my head, gave up on the game. Then I read a bit more about it and now, in my 16th hour of playing Im outside the city and crushing undeads. Its well worth it. If I ever play the game through again (I havent even scratched the surface, so we will se what happens) I will probably try to go outside every now and then just to have some battles. I wish the makers of the game is going to build in some more dungeon crawl in the beginning in part II, since I think (after reading some reviews) this to much talking part actually scared some potential players away from the game (it almost made me give up with running around Cyseal all the time). Just throw in a "Kill the orc and bring its head on a spike" quest now and then would have made the first hours a lot more fun. Heck, even when I DM games I have to do that just to get my players adrenaline going.
