How far along are you? I'm around 32 hours into it now, haven't played much this weekend, haven't had much time. Hope to be able to dive back in some more next week.

 

 

 

About 10 hours, I tried several builds to see how the game mechanics works (they're not simple!). I'm doing the "investigate Kagha" mission at the moment.

 

All in all, it's a solid game! Very original.

What class and race are you playing? I'm a bard and race is wood elf.

Human, with a multi-class fighter/wizard.

 

Next time, I think I'll choose Paladin or pure fighter (Eldrich knight). Spells are interesting, but kinda costly in a combat (at least from what I understand in the combat mechanics). Cantrips seem to be less costly (they just cost an action point).

 

I really like Shadowheart as a companion. She's the kinda girl I like.

A lot of big releases are upcoming.  Also FROMSOFT confirmed that there will be more Elden-Ring/ Souls-like games coming in the future.

 

Blasphemous 2 - Aug 24, 2023
Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon - Aug 25, 2023
Starfield - Sep 6, 2023
Lies of P - Sep 19, 2023
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty - Sep 26, 2023
 
For me Starfield is the most interesting new release.  Armored Core I've already seen a lot of preview footage of and know what's it like.

Now into the Underdark, combat is getting fun. I would say up to and including level three some of the encounters can be frustrating, but once you get to level five you get enough variety in your abilities to make the experience much richer.

I don't know who this is and I searched it, apparently people like this one.

 

The Shadowheart character is the most typical 'hot' character.  

 

The characters in this game all have narrow heads for some reason.

She's fun and funny. Also great team member to have in your party.

I think she is more like Yennefer?

 

I don't know if it has a real Triss. At least none of the ones I have met so far.

Only got her into my party relatively late too, mostly because I also waited a long while to get Wyll.

I like Wyll!

'Blade of Frontiers', a hero of the people, I like characters like that (and his story seems interesting)

 

He reminds me of Zorro.

Armored core full playthrough is only 11 hrs long, not very long compared to Elden Ring.

 

They still haven't released the Elden Ring DLC yet.
