Had given up on it two years ago and with the release of the second decided to revisit. The combat is clunky as fuck, but I really do enjoy the heart of the game, for lack of a better word.
I just wish it crashed less T_T No real saves and constant full freeze with hard reboots is not fun.
Which should tell you how much I do enjoy what I get to play that I’ve sunk about thirty hours so far. Getting my first horse and hunting game in the woods to feed the sick, being ambushed by a gang of three brigands and their dog to fend them off, barely. Stumbling upon a burnt hut in the woods and discovering a treasure… The sense of discovery and exploration is spot on. Losing all that because fuck knows what, not so much.
The gear gets hurt during fights but even at my low level 7 I can go sharpen my sword again and I’ve enough coins to fix whatever got damaged in the last ambush. It’s not ridiculous either. Only my chest and helmet were really damaged. But yes, it’s all very slow paced.
