Apologies who invited me late last night, was shattered and logged off as the invite arrived.

Will be around today/tonight for some more if anyone is around.

Although I know the game is not totally free roaming (or is it?) the map is huge and missions are varitied so far. The only thing that bugs me a bit is that when I look out of the lighthouse down to the beach, it is lifeless... but if I go down there then zombies and quests will appear... it would be nice to see zombies there doing their own thing, just to give that feel of the world is running itself rather than reacting to where I go (if that makes sense).

As for weapons I got some awesome knuckle dusters.. upgraded them and now can break arms with punches, so useful for that bigger one that flails wildly.

Must say, am having a ball with this. And pretty much only played alone so far.

Did end up with some random, but really didn't like him, so quit.

Spent a lot of time yesterday on it, and just love slashing up zombies!

Not had any crashes or anything, but it sometimes seems quite blurry. Think it's a combination of dust, motion blur, and over-zealous bloom.

Not too much of a problem, and the game still looks great overall.

I had graphical errors on my game. Lighting would switch off suddenly when I stepped into it. I got as far as the Abandoned House Quest in town and then abandoned the game. I uninstalled, reinstalled and then started again. This time, the graphics were fine and look sharper and more detailed than before. The lighting issue is also corrected.

What I'm saying is that for some problems, a reinstall might fix it. Just make sure to salvage your saves first if you're not happy to start again.

I'm finding it to be an excellent and atmospheric game.

Can you reset stat points? I never use Fury but have about 8 points in it

Also what is the max level?

Kempster · 12 Sep 2011 at 11:48

Dont think you can reset them and as far as i know and level 50 is the max going by what other gamers say on a few different game forums

KIA · 12 Sep 2011 at 11:52

Why aren't you using Fury? it's EPIC.

50 is max level.

tboi07 · 12 Sep 2011 at 11:59

no doubt there will be a save editor available at some point, probs same format as the borderlands 1.

CaptainRAVE · 12 Sep 2011 at 12:22

I don't use fury either

- most of my points have gone into blunt combat skills atm.

mehuk · 12 Sep 2011 at 13:19

Blunt combat here too - upgraded a meat cleaver which gets good cut points and sometimes 1 hit amputations

CaptainRAVE · 12 Sep 2011 at 13:25

Shame there is a max level

- was hoping to max everything out eventually.

cHk4 · 12 Sep 2011 at 13:27

I don't get the exp sometimes when fighting Thugs I'll get all up in their grill after breaking there arms and every swing I get exp, other times I do the same and nothing?

Also what are diamonds used for I have 6 at the moment.

CaptainRAVE · 12 Sep 2011 at 13:29

I think you get XP bonuses for chaining attacks against limbs?

Right that would make sense, so target limb and mash attack button? Will try that

They are used for things called Developer mods, there are 5 in total and each require 5x diamonds and somtimes another part, plus $10,000.

Few pages back i posted a vid of me using Developer mod #2 which is a baseball bat.

You get them from the champagnen quest, you give some skank some champagne and she gives you diamonds

McBain · 12 Sep 2011 at 14:27

You can also sell them for $1500.

Was going to skip out the champagne acquisition quest (getting tired of the side quests) - but might do it after all.
