OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Ok found the Character Search Button. An update moved it to bottom of mini-map...

and I know where ambition section is but clicking on the bubble that pops up doesn't automatically take you there like in vids. Guess it was another change in an update.?.?.

Ok back to learning.

yeah, I think it was moved in the patch that came with The Republic DLC. A lot of people had trouble finding it when the patch came out. The game has change dramatically since it released, so many of the videos you see on youtube that are more than 4-5 months old, will likely look different in some areas.

here is a playlist of someone playing the game(and explaining some things along the way) and is only a few weeks old. I only watched the first video, so I can't say for certain if he continued to explain things. He is playing as a Norse character with the Old Gods DLC, so some of the things wont apply if you don't have it. but with the exception of the Norse and/or Pagan only abilities, I think it could help learn some parts of the game.

for the ambitions, It's on your character's info page now. click on you characters face in the top left corner of the screen and it's to the bottom left of your portrait. They separated them from the plots so you could have both. yeah, It was changed in a patch as well.

Had to step out a bit to do some honey do's but back now.
I usually crash with these types of games but I am determined to stick with it as I love the premise but the learning curve was always counter productive to my ADD...

I am slowly learning stuff and will keep at it. I did bump down difficulty to easy until I can get a better grasp on things. So much stuff...

Sorry to keep this thread on the game. Maybe we should have had a CK2 thread lol

Demo is there too. Took like 3 and a half hours to beat.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Absolutely ridiculous.

Which means I will spend way too much time on it when it comes out.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

I already spent too much time on it. Went back 3 more times after beating the boss in the demo trying to max out the bit of skill tree that's there.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Looks cool. I will definitely pick it up this week.

You guys should also check out Maldita Castilla if you're looking for more medieval platforming goodness. I believe it is still free to play.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Coupons I have if anyone wants:

50% off Duke Nukem: Megaton Edition (exp 30 June)
50% off Euro Truck Simulator 2 (exp 3 July)
50% off Anna: Extended Edition (exp 7 July)
75% off Lunar Flight (exp 2016) -- GREAT GAME imo; already own it

In return, I'd like any Steam cards or coupons you don't want. To be honest though, I'll give them away to anyone in the group.

Forgot to add, I have some profile backgrounds too if anyone wants. Not sure which ones I want to keep, but let me know if you see one you want.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Kinda neat, you unlock different parts of your profile as you level I guess. Unlocked a customizable slot and dropped the 'Game Collector' widget into it: http://steamcommunity.com/id/mestevo

Edit: played my first game w/ trading card support, kinda interesting that the one card I got (tagged as common, from Super Meat Boy) sells regularly (a couple dozen/day) for 50 cents or more.

Word coming down the pipeline is that this Thursday should kick off the Steam Summer Sale.

Obviously things are subject to change, but keep your eyes peeled.
