Conan Exiles

Playing offline (not paying for PS+, just ain’t happening), man this game has incredible, staggering depth. It’s got a host of issues but in many ways it’s better than any game I’ve ever played.

About my only complaint is there should be roaming/traveling NPCs/animals. Feels kinda lame that you always have to find your own action, it never comes to you. Also the sound effects (chopping wood, etc.) don’t trigger kind of a lot. So that’s pretty annoying too.

But literally that’s, like, it.

It felt a bit janky/wonky for the first couple hours (and the AI could definitely use a ton of work) but after sinking my teeth in and figuring some stuff out, almost nothing about it bothers me. YMMV if you’ve already played a bunch of games in this genre but I’m friggin blown away. It’s everything I thought’d be and more.

Nope. The Purge was added in at launch. Basically after a given amount of time, I do not have an answer to how long or why, an army of up to 3 waves of different monsters and NPC's will attack your base(s). You can try to track down the Commander and end the Purge early but I have never been able to do so.

This applies to offline single play as well. So unlike other games in this genre, you have to build with defense in mind even offline.

Thanks! I do remember reading about this. I want to play this game but I have too many games to finish. Trying to get through them!


Developers are still updating this one all the time, right?

Yup. Patch should be out this week for PC. Soon for consoles. Rumors of DLC soon as well.

Yeah I’ve heard about it, but not quite the same from what I gather. I’m talking about like how now (just started a new character) I’ve been building a small house in the jungle for a couple days; it’d be nice to get harassed by a roaming panther or something, or luck into a small herd of antelope finding its way into my neck of the woods. That kind of thing.

Maybe AI pathfinding/roaming is more complicated than I imagine else it’d already be there, I dunno. Not really a big deal just something I’d like to see.
