@201, not going to dictate what you can or can't say, but this post has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic at hand... and it's this kind of post that treds dangerously close to being a personal attack. Why not address his criticisms of the game instead of jabs at his character? And people wonder how so many topics that start civil derail into personal sniping...

Yikes!
I suggest you avail yourself with a mirror, champ. The irony of you doing the very things you accuse me of is not lost on me at all.
This is also the second time you started snarling at me like an ill tempered dog, the last time you were attempting to imply that I was a quote unquote Spaz.
You want to go on about me tossing barbs at people? Never in  all the time on here have I ever told anyone that their being a spastic.
I suppose you're going to attempt to twist me correcting grryfindore's spelling of my username into me being a dick? Thing is... I see people doing that kind of thing on here all the time and noone bats an eyelid.
To grryfindore, if this has caused you offence in any way then I apologize and will remove that part of my post if you wish. If I'm due any punitive action, then lay it on me. My chin is ready.

my opinion is that people just cheat. what difference does it make whether there are jokes about the blind or not. the main thing is that the game is very good even in the demo. and criticism that is not in the business, you only discourage developers from doing something good. here is my opinion. and whether you agree with him or not is up to you.

in my opinion, you need to somehow change the magic. it is very difficult to go through this stage. I personally have never been able to. I don't hear enough sound to build up valor.

Oh, I thought you needed to somehow light the weapon before doing the fire burst. Thanks.

sorry for the double post. but I'd just like to say that the thing that doesn't make this a sort of a blind legend bop it style combat system is the way the shield works, as well as the ability to do heavy attacks and use magic.

Personally, if the story is good and the sound design is good, I will basically ignore the bopit-style combat. No, it's not ideal, but it's not a dealbreaker either.

it's really evident here since the Mc is standing still and sometimes punished for aggressive fighting style when unneeded. However, this game also seems to punish defensive styles, especially if enemies get the same features with heavy attacks and other combat styles that requires more approaches styles to clear out the assault.

Was kind of hoping there were some enemy types that act like some of the fleet footed enemies from the blind Swordsman. covering the approach of others with rapid movements and words as they dart in amongst allies and strike before running back. Maybe toss back a throwing knife on the retreat.

Sort of curious on one thing mentioned about reaction stuff. Isn't nearly most video game combat mainly consists of reacting to attacks? Sure, there's more evasion and movement involve with parrying, dodging or canceling attacks, but it is still reacting to an opening or maneuver seen by the player. I don't parry Champion Gunther's shouldercharge attack from Dark Souls 3 because I'm a master of melee combat and knew he was going to do that, I parried it because I saw the brief window giving me a 1 second warning he's about to spear me into oblivion with his shoulder, and I want to knock him down with the parry to land a bunch of two handed strikes. Alternatively, I know the fight well and can predict when he'll follow up an attack with the said shoulder charge of doom. but that's still reacting to prior information to prepare. I just have a lot more options to move around and do other fancy implementations of pain that's admittedly more satisfying when the Ai opponent fudges up.

Hey all.
Just a sidenote for anyone having trouble running the game like I did and for the developers to consider as I've just discovered the trick and was now finally able to enjoy the new demo.
There is no need to replace any DLL file (with another from a game like Code7) to be able to play, just add the two digits 64 at the end of the file called XInputInterface.dll contained within the plugins folder so that it becomes XInputInterface64.dll.
HTH!

one quest Liam did miss was the honey collecting quest. wonder why the bread seller is back in the main village square? that's because if you talk to her something happens if your at the spot where the final bit of the demo is. and that quest is really funny. at least for me. died laughing first time I played through it which was on the xbox demo.

Could I play the game with an XBox controller on my laptop?

when the shepard tells you to go to the tavern, and ask about work, notoce that the bread seller is back. try speaking with her.
