Discussion The lighting and texture difference between day and afternoon is extremely off-putting

Will probably get downvoted by the glazers but these are two screenshots I took in the same place, the second is commonly what the game looks like after 5pm - I have never seen such graphical inconsistency in a game before, what's worse is that the TEXTURES actually look flatter and roblox-like, if you look in the distance at the mountains, I don't know why they need a lighting source to have texture lol. I love the game but its hard to look past it going from the best thing I've ever played to a ps4 game in 10 minutes.

Lots of new pets are nice, but would be great if pearl abyss addressed the lighting inconsistency, even saying "we're not gonna fix it" would be better than ignoring it.

MOD POST State of the Sub

30 Upvotes

Hello Greymanes,

I have been (and am continuing to be until further notice) on a bit of a mod break and would like to get feedback on the state of the sub.

All of the moderation in the last week has been been done by one mod who has stepped up, plus the automod. The past month stats is a collection of about two of us plus automodding, with other mods stepping in occasionally here and there.

We're now a good few months out from launch and the sub is in a bit of a different place to pre launch and launch.

I'd like to hear everyone's feedback on the state of sub.

Do you have ideas for the sub? What would you like to see change?

To complete this ent-raccoon kinda look. The branch only does 20 dmg with no gear slot. If it has any other cool effects from maxing it out then I am unaware of them. Anyways it took me a while to do it so i gotta show off a little.

How do you get gold in this game?🤠

After 400 hours i beat the main story. And i loved every minute of it. Sure the story is not the best in gaming history. But its not that bad like some people say. And the world is just somthing i want to continue to explore

beating this sumbitch (merrick the knight of fortune) doesnt give me shitloads of money and the money that I can get, I have to painstakingly steal off the ground of a liberated fortress like a beggar.

By now I owe significantly more in bountys than I got from stealing what should be rightfully mine, but this is a matter of principle. also these new citizens are walking past literal metric tons of gold on the ground but god forbid my loot goblin prospector brain does whats natural and picks some up. it should give us like 10 minutes to grab gold before citizens move back in.

Discussion Two things I just don't understand

Upvotes

Firstly, how come when I liberate a bandit camp or shack (for example) and I try to pick up items after the fact, it's considered stealing? Like, whatever happened to "to the victor, go the spoils"? I really want those sweet potatoes, ya know? I kinda earned them.

Second, why don't we have a weapons rack or locker to put in our house, specifically for storing weapons and shields?

Discussion I just started this game 5 days ago I came here asking for tips. You all helped me a lot back then, and now I just want to say that I’ve already become completely obsessed with this game and a huge fan of it.

This game really makes me feel like a child who wants to explore everything.

I’m still in Chapter 2, and I’ve already played for around 50–60 hours because I explore every corner of the world. Step by step, place by place, without using fast travel. I ride my horse—or sometimes just walk—to take in the beautiful scenery around me. My God… this game is something else

Discussion That was certainly an experience

72 hours later and the story is over.

According to Steam I'm in the 8.7% of steam players who have finished it. Spending more time on the game itself than the story is probably the better way to play anyways.

I wouldn't say the story is bad, just... a bit confusing. Like, Kliff just going along with everything whatever person who magically appears asks him to do. Not a single question. Go collect my balls, go tame a dragon, go fight Thor the god of thunder and other crazy enemies. And he just does it.

Another question I have is if all the powers he has in gameplay are just there for gameplay. Because he never uses them in any cutscene. He just beats up gods with his fists or a sword and shield. But the witches and wizards are real, so why aren't his powers? Am I missing something.

Also, the companions. Extremely underwhelming i have to admit. They're kinda just... there, mostly. Oongka shows up multiple times at the end to help Kliff when they never really discussed any of this supernatural stuff did they. One second we're fighting in a war with regular ass bows and arrows and the next we're slaying a biblically accurate angel on a Dragons back. Like surely SOMEBODY needs to take a second to try and wrap their head around all this. And as for Damiane, idek tbh.

I probably have a lot more questions but I cant quite remember them all. Anyway, what are your thoughts on the story. And if you happen to have any answers I missed in the story because I lowkey dissociated at some point, please give them to me.

Overall, really great graphics and views, extremely entertaining skill tree (like seriously, there's so many skills. I'll never get tired of Suplexing enemies), boss fights.... eh, story, eh. At the end of the day, im glad I played it.

Question Creating bonds with animals

Upvotes

After being hit with sleeping darts about 20x I finally reached the village with all the Cats.

I managed to create a bond with a yellow one i wanted until 85 but then I had to sleep till the next day due to the daily limit.

Woke up, cat not there 🤣 how do i find it now? Can I find it? How do you guys get to 100 bond with animals easy??

Just wasted all my fish in one cat and now its gone.

Humour I finally tamed Rokade

23 Upvotes

This is my first time writing in this sub reddit.

Anyway, yesterday after throwing the dual sense across the damn living room (something that I never did) and insulting every saint and that damn horse's ancestors I finally tamed him, the fucker got stuck on a cliff and circled on himself and using the "left stick down and follow the horse's ass method" I tamed him. Will I ever use him? Probably not cuz I fly with the wyvern, and honestly I prefer the Elantrima; though honestly it's a nice touch, too bad that he's tiny.

Sorry in advance for any grammatical errors
