Happy Last Day of May!
This ended up a bit long, you can safely skip the details, if you want.
Played Octopath Traveler a bit more. Have recruited 7 characters, just last one, Primrose, remaining. It’s getting pretty repetitive though, and I am getting a bit bored of it. Playing a single chapter of each character, and then for all intents and purposes, forgetting that character in any kind of narrative just feels like waste of time.
I thought maybe I shouldn’t have recruited everyone, and continued with the story once I had 4 characters, but the chapter 2 of some characters require level 27, or in case of some, level 22. And after going through the map, recruiting 7 characters, my highest level character is level 21. So, even if I hadn’t recruited them, I would’ve to grind a lot to reach chapter 2.
So, while I am playing it a bit here and there, combat is interesting, but without any kind of story, I am not feeling much reason to keep on going with it. Haven’t fully decided to abandon it yet though, will think about it over the weekend. If you have played the game, any opinions?
Other than that, still playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, really enjoying the game, specially now that I am over the starting weak phase, where everything is very slow and difficult to do.
My one main gripe with the game is that it really want you to use your thieving skills. Usually in games like these I go with Master of All build, level up everything and do everything without any worry, but this time I decided to role play as a ‘Knight’ who doesn’t do things like stealing, pick pocketing and things like that, but I get so many people who just straight up ask me to steal something, without me ever doing any stealing in the game. The protagonist is an actual Knight in the game, why does a random passerby think he would steal something for them? Or frame someone for them? Or any other illegal activity? Instead of just capturing them and getting them arrested?
Other than that, narrative is fun, side quests are also interesting, leveling up your character makes significant difference, helping you feel you journey from a commoner to a Knight.
Well, what about all of you? What have you been playing lately?
Oh, that’s nice. I just finished original Paper Mario earlier this year, so don’t want to jump into another Paper Mario so soon. But it’s very high on “games-to-play” list.
Ahan, never heard of this desynced issue, but glad that you got it fixed.
