Just like the storyline these nodes can also be criss-crossed into different paths of development. Other attributes like vigor, lock picking, and being able to talk your way out of a situation with your charm are difficult to add up early on. However, they also come with bonuses like being able to equip heavier armor, carry more items, or have stronger magic. Not only do some equipment choices assist you, but befriending your teammates also helps. Their accompaniment in your party can mean an increase in agility, healing, craftsmanship, and strength, amongst other useful qualities. You can grow in whatever direction you wish, and there’s even a few opportunities to wipe the slate clean and readjust your trees. Let Slip the Dogs of WarĪfter storytelling and investigative services, combat is the next most plentiful part of this game. The combat mechanics are really nice, but aside from your first boss battle, most fights seem very one-sided. Enemies are not overly plentiful and usually come in small groups. They seem to only attack in a certain circle because even if you’re 15 yards away and can be seen, if outside of this bubble they begin to ignore you completely. Every enemy is poised for looting even if it’s just some leather from an animal, or a few gold coins from a human opponent. Your party, which consists of you and two cohorts, isn’t very controllable either. You can take the reigns of the main protagonist, but whatever the other members of your crew do is up to them, and they never seem overly aggressive. That’s not to say that some damage won’t be done, or healers won’t heal, but I’d rather have a little say in how a situation is dealt with. They can physically get in your way at times in both combat and non-combat situations. In town when speaking with a local merchant, they may begin fighting and thrusting for no reason, and make continuous grunting sounds all the while. In the wilds they offer “helpful” verbal tips, but this quickly becomes overly annoying.
I understand that I need to heal, but maybe I’m at 80% and don’t want to. But they’re going to remind you every 20 seconds anyways.
I like one of your early companions named Kurt because of his fighting skills, but in a combat situation he loves reminding me that “Things are about to get dicey” every 10-15 seconds. If you enjoy a game such as Dragon Age, you’ll like GreedFall, too. The writing is fantastic, although watching the character animation gum up the words can be a little off-putting at times. The story sometimes progresses slowly, because there’s plenty of walking involved in the wilderness.
