Why do all the female characters look like men

Litteraly impossible to make a good looking one.

Enjoying this more than I did BioShock so far myself

Same, for me its wonderful so far.

First companion you meet is gorgeous!

I made myself as I always do. No fat face settings though

TriedandTested · 25 Oct 2019 at 17:43

I don't like it so far. Same old stuff. I arrive, need to get my ship off the ground and yet now i'm the lacky for each and every townfolk i come across. Don't really like the look of the game either...it's weird/kinda ugly.

Steedie · 25 Oct 2019 at 19:30

Yeah this hasn't grabbed me at all, it feels a bit cheap and the art style makes it look quite rough and dated. Not a fan of the combat at all either

This is the comment I was looking for, echos of Fallout New Vegas. I'm sold.

Not a fan myself. The game screams classic unreal engine and feels clunky and rough to me. To me this seems to be one of those you either love it or hate it titles.

Funny thing is though, new vegas was clunky and rough and i loved that game..

Trying to play this on ultrawide and the default FOV was horrific. About 110 seems right.

Just tweaking mouse acceleration and graphics now. Editing ini files seems very archaic.

What a difference after a few .ini tweaks. Got rid of that horrible Vaseline look.

For reference, I've added;

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.PostProcessAAQuality=1
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=1.05

These look good, thanks.

Well it certainly starts off very talky...

So far I've played for a 90 minutes and done some quests at the first town. So far, so Fallout.

I thought I may get go through the game on stealth, wits and charm, and I have done that so far (not killed anything yet) but there doesn't really seem an upside to avoiding combat....I think I'm probably just missing out on loads of extra XP?

As for Graphics. It's not absolutely stunning I grant you, but it certainly better looking than Fallout is.

This is taking forever to download on game pass which is weird because i dont usually have any issues, im out all weekend so looks like i am going to have to wait until Monday now!

Really looking forward to trying it out.

Bloody hell that must be one hell of a case if you needed to move it to make a nursery.

You should see my Thermaltake Core X71 TG. You wouldn't need to move it at all, you could just stick the baby inside the case and there'll still be room for the components to keep the little one warm.

yeah i thought that

Im playing on Supernova, my verdict so far, its fairly decent. I dont think I would have been overly impressed had I bought it at full price but as I got it on the gamepass its good value. Its not the most exciting or most interesting RPG I've played but its far from the worst too.

One caveat to that is that it has to be noted that my impressions of it are likely affected by the impending arrival of Red Dead Redemption 2 in just over 10 days time and how my gaming brain is so hyped for that.

I would not get hyped about it much, a lot of people felt it was not as good as people made out and did not even complete the game.

Graphics sure will look sweet on the PC though. I will wait until next year when I get an 3070 or something before I even bother trying to run it myself

chroniclard · 25 Oct 2019 at 22:05

Downloading now.

Not had a good RPG for a while.

How do you think it will run on a 6700k and 1080 graphics card at 3440x1440?

I'm running 3700X and a 1080 at 3440x1440 with everything maxed, plus the tweaks above, FOV 110 and getting 60-100FPS.

Cant get Gsync to work though.
