Oh and given recent discussion - Improved the progress display for cumulative quests such as "To the Rescue"

Edit : my extra mounts seem to have disappeared, I only have Herspia. A quick glance on the steam forums looks like it happened to everyone, oops

A lot of win in this update, but I didn't see stack-size increasing, so most of the extra storage just isn't useful enough to get rid of the stack-size mod I use. Food storage for cooking is a big thumbs up though.

*edit*

Never mind; the new storage give so much storage my main inventory is sub 100 now. Haven't been able to figure out how to upgrade the wardrobe though, or where the kuku pot recipe is for the "fridge".

Started this a couple of days ago, what the hell is up with this dialogue and sound design? I will say I am pleasantly surprised at the ultrawide implementation, most games get really bad fisheye on the edges which makes me switch back to 4k, but on max settings, ultrawide, ray tracing the game is pretty to look at.

Lol

Cliff bar you dumb twat what are you even talking about? What is anyone even talking about???? It’s like a fever dream of an ai hallucination, shit is just happening and then sometimes these people are in places saying things, but none of it is related. Truly one of the writings of all time.

[Krandor]

My general assumption with the games story/cutscenes is that they did all the voicework early on and then didn't want to record new stuff when plans changed later, so they just slapped together dialogue they already had lying around in attempt to make something resembling a plot.

My favorite random oddity with quests is person A gives you a quest, you complete the objective nearby, and then you turn in the quest to a completely different person like a mile away.

Fever dream of an AI hallucination is the best way I've heard of describing this game's dialogue lol

[Kachiko]

A lot of changes made mid-cycle and not enough sense to pull it all together, combined with poor VA direction that Kliff's VA has spoken about. There are good spots, namely most story NPC dialogue, but the rest is very miss or hit.

I gotta say, the game was not meant for 100% chance to not consume arrows and Explosive Arrows. I randomly made The Tier II version and there's a Tier 3 version on the final story abyss island, so, I've had a bit of fun doing that instead of normal combat. Haven't had a chance to do it with the fully upgraded bow I just made, but should be damn funny.

Someone has discovered something interesting on the PS5/PS5 Pro version.

It took until 2026 for console players to learn how vsync works.

Does not surprise me when given the options of what new features to add they just said yes.

Gonna be eatin' good when I finally get back around to playing this.

I have no idea what I'm doing in the game half of the time and I love it.

[Kachiko]

If only the combat controls weren't so damn bloated so that even re-mapping barely helps on controller. Ended up just spamming infinite exploding arrows instead of fighting with the controls. I really would like to go back and explore the enhanced and DLC, I'm just not sure I really want to deal with it again.
