Full game first impressions thread

[Zhuangzi]

Okay, this is a place to post the differences we find between the demo and full game...


1. Music is different. Nice.
2. Plugen quest doesn't give the ragebox. D'oh
3. Not having ragebox makes the early game MUCH harder, especially when you're playing on Hard like I am.
4. Not a difference but a reminder. If your game lags at all turn anti-aliasing off. It slows my game down quite a bit.
5. I can't beat the tougher Greenwort enemies without the ragebox on Hard. I have 10,000 cash but I am yet to defeat the head werewolf, tent guards, shipwreck ghosts etc.
6. I had a nasty surprise with the stupid plants. I came across a group of 4 x 200 plants! Reload.
7. I am going to have to leave Greenwort to get the ragebox, but I am scared.

Aye - wasted some runes for rage-generation and then no box

whats the best rage creature? that fire one in the demo is useless (although im note sure i tried out his 4th spell), the swamp one rocks. are the other two better?

Pretty much. In my opinion...

the first spirit has 2 "okay" abilities and 2 poor ones
the second one has one kickass, one good, one meh and one fairly useless one
the third has one good and three meh ones
the fourth has four abilities which are all great

He gets +100% damage against spellcasters and that is pretty useful.

Gizmo is one of the most powerful abilities in the game, if leveled properly. Spikey ball is good all-around and it's the premier spell against the undead general.

That's pretty insightful, thanks. Never tried levelling Gizmo.

The demo giving the impression you get almost everything right off the bat. But in the full game I feel like crawling throught every mobs and quests to get my hero as effective as in the demo.

7. I am going to have to leave Greenwort to get the ragebox, but I am scared.

The place is crawling with barbarians

4. Not a difference but a reminder. If your game lags at all turn anti-aliasing off. It slows my game down quite a bit.

For another speed-boost, edit game.ini and change r_filter to 0. This turns off Antistropic Filtering and enables bilinear filtering.

OK, I am struggling. I am up to level 4 and I'm trying to find the freaking ragebox. But as a Paladin playing on Hard I am finding that I am between a rock and a hard place - no rage, no offensive spells, and creatures are chasing me all over the map. I hope I won't have to restart.

Is anyone else playing on Hard first up?

Minor spoiler:

Ragebox is easy to get: finish the first quest King gives you and accept the second one. It involves going to Arlania (-- ? I'm not sure how it was translated in English release) and talking to astrologer in his observatory. Simply rush to him, evading or killing whatever monsters you come across.

In case you are lost: Screenshot of an observatory. Region map. Hero icon marks the correct location.

After that, talk to the King again and he'll send you on a mission to get a box.
