@jpabenites to each their own, but i disliked the random armor/weapon loots. anything procedural seems lazy to me. i much prefer more thought and effort going into the weapons and armor, with more levels of customization. but i'm not far enough into the campaign yet to see the full variety they offer. im assuming there will be many more items to choose from

@vlerk2020

Sorry mate, but this is a dumb comment all around. First, if a "woke wind" was blowing through the US and Canada then there would be MORE nudity and LESS violence. If anything this is a "conservative wind" that glorifies violence but hates the human body, per classic right wing fashion. They do it as to not get as much blowback from the religious zealots (violence=good, breasts=bad).

Also throwing Cuties into this is a total non sequitur and makes no sense, as it's a completely French (which happens to not be in the US or Canada) movie that CALLS OUT that gross culture of idolifying young girls. You obviously either haven't seen it or didn't understand it.

@jpabenites i understand. it does seem strange you can kill scores of enemies, and not use ANY of their weapon/armor. it really breaks the immersion

@siber_sbs
the game also feels unfinished because, well, its unfinished. For example there are many many spaces that they just didn't add anything at all. Take this church for instance, in any other AC game this would be chock full of church stuff and props that represented the time period. however most places are sorely lacking in any detail. It really kills any immersion you may have.

The markets are void of many goods, people's homes barely have anything. Even poor people have things to live. I just don't get it, the world feels dead

@trackah123
here's an example of what I was talking about. the rock shapes are very unrealistic. many strange angles and pointy tips. plus flat textures. its really bad, and much worse than other peer games

(all max texture settings)

@beernpizzayo91 calm down big guy, go for a bike ride or something and cool your head

@aetherosonic

Thank you, I agree things look so weird, especially from medium distance. Pop-ins and copy-pasted grass tufts. And that's before we even get to the AI in the game, it's literally worse than games that came out 10 years ago. Everything feels super rushed, so they just added placeholders, but we got stuck with them.

It amazes me how people can't see how poor all of the textures and layouts are. Like living in another universe.

@cap-cla bro, not sure what's happening with you, but that was garbled and impossible to decipher. you ok?

@wineward64 yes sensei

@larrykop1967

exactly. It makes no sense at all and is extremely annoying. You're literally the leader's right hand man, any guard that attacked you would be executed. [censored] is up with this logic

I'm working missions for the thegn in Colcestre, however the guards STILL attack on sight. Is this happening to anyone else? Is this a bug?

@cell1e agreed. The witcher had got it mostly right. you can look off enemies, but they'll usually be lower quality. or you can go on quests are exploring dangers areas to find better ones. and the most special armor you can upgrade throughout the game. it really is a good system (but takes a lot of development effort and time)

@ubiwan

Hello - yes I've verified the game files and it's still happening. So here's what seems to be happening

1) visit a new place and the codex updates with the new entry
2) continue playing
3) visit another new location and get notification Codex has updated
4) check codex, new location entry appears, but some previous entries are gone

Seems sort of random, as some locations remain, some disappear. However I've visited many locations as I'm at least half way through the game. But as you can see from the screenshot, ALL ENEMY entries are revealed, even though I have not encountered all enemies. All enemy entries appeared as soon as arriving in the England portion of the game.

So the LOCATIONS and ENEMIES entries of the Codex are misbehaving.

Big issue happening throughout game: the "Locations" items in the Codex disappear after some time. If you look at the screenshot, I've been to 7 out of 11 regions and met 40 of the main characters. However it says I've only been to 4 out of 23 locations, which just isn't true.

What's happening in the screenshot is literally impossible to do in the game. Anyone else experienced this?

@souldrinkerlp

and here's a screenshot i just took, maxed out settings @ 1440p. This is the main issues I have, at medium distance they just get super lazy. Look at the shrubs, they're all the exact same size and shape and 2d and just copy-pasted scattered around. It looks really bad, like they just threw in placeholders until the real graphics could be completed, but they ran out of time.

Close up looks pretty good most of the time, but get beyond 20 feet and things begin to go downhill quickly. This does not look like a AAA game made in 2020.

@souldrinkerlp very well put

@beernpizzayo91 calm down big guy, go for a bike ride or something and cool your head

@anteronoid now that you've seen them you'll notice them in other places as well. usually medium-distance away. or up on top of tall buildings. they look like place-holder bird graphics that were forgotten about
