If not for that, you would have simply attacked her, and friendly fire is on, so the answer is yes.

- There are no descriptions for the status effects of the various types of consumables, even after you use them. I assume they will add this, though.


Yeah, after you eat one and find out what it does, that description should be added to the item tooltip. There are so many items that memorizing what each one does is too much.

ALT does highlight items but not all items. I think food, weapons, armor, loot that is worth something, but not everything that is interactable because that would be too much.

Agree with description of what does what after trying. Have seen, however, that some things didn't have an effect while they should have.

I've run into a few situations where my GPU utilization craters and my FPS drops to the 10s. But other then that it runs pretty good. Some of the menus are a bit laggy though.

This game is an item whores dream, or nightmare. I'm having to restrain myself from picking up everything that isn't bolted down ouch

Is there a loot all key (pick up all items around you) ?

i am on the quest for fries..no luck so far smile
Must say I'm liking this balancing completely out of whack, getting murdered by a whole town because you move something gives a whole new meaning to the term nightmare difficulty ^^

OT:
-wouldn't it be more logical that when inventory is open and you change char (by clicking on main pic of that char) the according inventory would also open (with manual change option in char screen still there ofcourse) instead of..eh..not laugh
-attitude of trader doesn't go up when i offer him free stuff, what's the threshold+?I gave him like 100g of stuff but still -10 opa

and have afformentioned hotkeys +
a hotkey to send something to your partner..I'm not a granny of 70yrs old smile I use my keyboard to be fast smile

cheer just had my first crash,minor issue, i can't seem to send crash report, it just says cancelled :s hmm, i was so looking forward to it horsey

Would be nice to have the ability to highlight EVERYTHING in full version.

Has anyone managed to use health potion? I have 2 medium ones from the start but i can't use them from inventory and if I try to put them into quickslot an then use - they disappear and transform into LARGE potion. Shortly afterwards game crashes with 100% success.

Also, if you agree to go with these 2 legionaries instead of fighting - the first encounter makes them to forget to follow/escort you.

The Game looks very nice. i especially like the Spellcasting Animations.
On my i7 930 with a Geforce 660 Ti i have a Framerate of around 45-50 with all settings maxed @1920x1200. For this kind of game it is fine and very playable.

I only played a little bit but the Combat so far is very good aswell. I love turn based games! I picked a Mage and Ranger combo and so far it's very fun. Freezing, burning, charming and multishotting enemies, i love it!


A few bugs i encountered:
The Audio settings do nothing. None of the sliders change any ingame Audio at all which is unfortunate because the ambient sounds are quite annoyingly loud.
There is also no music ingame and Spells also have no Sound. Not sure if thats a bug tho since i did read that audio and music wasn't fully implemented yet.


What i would like to have:
-A indicator for skills with a Area of Effect so you can easily see the radius/cone of the skill/spell you use.
-maybe the ability to zoom out a little more so you have a better view, especially in combat.
-make all items highlightable with Alt, like crates etc.


So far im positively surprised about the game. I really like the combat system and the game looks great.

Right click to use potions.

The soldiers that escort you see the orcs and run away. They should say this.

Audio is not finished, music is not in, volume sliders don't work.. Yep, welcome to alpha wink

First impression: nice looking game at 2560*1440. Graphic looks realy nice. Ingame the framerates are fine (all @maximum).

Gameplay so fare (first fights and some dialogs done) is realy cool.

One thing confused me a little at the first time: The Ordering how you have "use" your characters are fixed (i think caused of the drop in Multiplayer-option?) and i searched for a "Switch to scarlett button... maybe some hint during the tutorial would be nice. Additionaly some highlightning, witch character is the active one would be nice. I missed several times that one of my characters are "in turn" and waited some seconds till i recognized my mistake wink

Sorry for me: tomorow i have to leave for holidays and my long test run hast to wait till december 28... *gnaaaaaaa* Give me some sheep to kill ....

I'm pretty sure there is a loot all key because I *think* i saw them use it after a large kill; anyone have a hint what it is (perhaps loot all is wrong term; pick up all on ground ?)???
--
Also a comment (suggestion) - on things like boxes; if you've opened them they should stay open (unless explicitly closed) so you know that you have already looted them...

Ive got quite the gaming laptop and for example Dragon Commander runs amazingly well, even in dragon form (same engine so im allowed to compare ;D) but well.. i mean.. original sin doesnt run bad, still runs at like 50 fps with highest possible settings and everything on, but so does Assassins Creed Black Flag.. and there is no reason why a game with that kind of graphics, physics, open world and still be badle optimised due to it being a port should run better then original sin laugh

I did have a problem where i attacked the cows in Cyseal and after spending all my action points with my female character, it didnt switch to my male character.. it just kinda froze up and forced me to flee the battle because the wait button etc. didnt work :P (the villages trying to attack me must have been like "wait.. why is he standing still... mommy.. im scared.. what is he doing...wait.. where did he go?"

i do feel you should have more options atsome situations... some problems can really be solved at 1 way or sometimes 2 :P

Aside from that its been going amazing, love how the combat works, the dialogue options are nice and i simply CANNOT wait till more spells and more character customisation (the character creation screen looks very promising) and more of everything XD

Till now i do have to say that it surely needs some alpha testing, but the basics are already just amazing.

Coming posts i will make will probably be bug reports and feedback posts... thisis the first alpha/beta/early acces game that i played that i actually want to get involved with trying to get stuff fixed

p.s. my rig is a custom made gaming laptop with an overclocked gtx680m - 4 gb dedicated memory, 3.4-3.7 ghz i7 quadcore and 16gb ram 1600 mhz and ofcourse all tweaked out for the bets gaming experience (done both game design as well as doing IT atm as university level courses so no worries about any stuff interfering with the performance XD) and ofc. running windows 7 64-bit (sorry people who love windows 8, no way to convince me :D)

For some reason the doors on the map (discovered map) marked only when you close enough to the house, but once you move away they disappear which makes navigation a bit hard.

Yes I did that and I found that i could add a talent point but as I noted adding the talent point did not clear the up arrow so is there something else I need to do ?

Sigh I see I have talents point too for some reason I thought the 8 was a 0 frown
