I’ve only briefly dipped my toes in the pond of freelance graphic design, but I’ll assume the UI designers are a bit more form over function than other departments of the development pipeline. I’ll also add that the final call is rarely made by the monkeys making it look good.

Combat "feel" isn't a thing unless it's solely melee, and if you're focusing on combat in an RPG, you're going to be sorely disappointed regardless. Combat is simply ONE of your options in Bethesda games.

When I saw combat, i was like were are the lasers? Then they got a laser gun, and I was like, looks okay, but I bet that ammo is going to be low and gone pretty quick. 

Looks like we have a release window at least? :O

ah yes like the old days when Capcom made exclusive deals for Street Fighter 2 for both Genesis and SNES so had to tweak them to be different XD

The fact that they could preload is pretty scummy. I mean having loot boxes in Diablo is already scummy but this is salt n the wounds. 

It’s like people who complain there’s nothing on Netflix because nothing in the new releases catches their eye.

If it’s now being run by Epic, it’ll definitely have cross platform play. It works mostly flawless in Rocket League. Only thing that hurts the game is when a player has a shitty internet connection, or if one of the servers is garbage.

I didn’t even realize there was cross-play between PC and PS.

I picked it back up with the kids last weekend, and though the gameplay still slaps, the combination of looooooong loading screens, and needing to go through some complicated leave match-confirm-join new lobby shenanigans every time you get knocked out really makes it drag. Hopefully they can streamline the match…

Every slot adds to your total equipment weight, whether or not it’s the active one. So the reason to just equip one or two slots is to reduce your total carry weight.

It’s definitely not mandatory or anything, but it’s a bit of optimization. For instance, if you’re on attempt #3 on a tricky boss and you’ve already…

Equip weight is the reason for me, I like to dual stance weapons (mostly for the aesthetics of symmetry to be honest) and even with Great Jars talisman can only keep 3 or 4 slots full. I don’t think I’ve ever had 6 slots full without being naked or reaching Heavy Load... and I can’t even use shields because I’m bad at…

You can’t equip a talisman in a weapon slot, did you mean Seal?

This is a reach, that’s a perfectly OK build. It is actually very cool and fun to run an int/dex build where you adjust towards mageiness or slashiness as necessary.

Under 18 accounts shouldn’t be able to tip for most services because they’re often just using their parents’ money AND they’re more vulnerable to psychological power trips the streamers can pull. The other thing is dumb. Let the parents set their bed time.

Wait… so staffs and seals can stack?  I’ve finished the game and never realized this.

For casters, your main hand should have the highest sorcery scaling staff or seal at +10/25 while your off hand has the seal that will buff whatever it is you’re casting at +0 / un-upgraded. Whatever you’re casting will scale with the damage weapon and take the multiplier from your off hand.

Lightning Spear scales well with Gravel Stone Seal because Gravel Stone Seal enhances Lightning. It’s right in the name? Come on Ian :/

I mean, seems like “the masses” have moved to BR type games. All “traditional”(non-BR) FPS/Shooter games have been flopping/languishing at the moment.

I am sure it has nothing to do with them farting out a new COD each year for over ten years.
