Fall of Avalon: Tainted Grail

Pretty cool game im having fun with it lets talk about it and try not to talk about skyrim

whys it look like skyrim

What are its towns like compared to Skyrim

brings up skyrim by asking not to bring up skyrim

I'm sure it has bare ass shitty FPS melee combat, but what kind of things are at your disposal magic-wise? Anything actually interesting or just a bunch of fireballs?

I'm pretty surprised at how slow the threads are and that there's no general on Anon Babble. I wonder how much of it is because it's an EA title hitting 1.0.
Overall i'm completely absorbed. A few little bugs with the main story i've noticed so far but nothing game breaking. Quests are great, story is overall pretty interesting. Combat is good enough. Magic is ridiculously strong though especially if you find the right spells.

How does it compare to other Toddslop and Toddslop-adjacent material?
I had a great time with KCD2 and I'm sad it's over.
I downloaded Oblivion Remastered, but I got distracted by E33 and I kinda can't be fucked to bother with it now.
I just want more comfy first person murderhobo sims.

Is it me or melee super hard against multiple enemies? I'm playing on Veteran and there's just so much I can do against attack spam.

I don't know how much i've missed, but there's a pretty decent selection, but you need to find most of them rather than buy them.
There's a generic fireball you can charge up to be a small AoE. There's a frost and poison version that are essentially just fireballs. Then there's lightning that can be charged to chain lightning, fire spell that acts as a very short range shotgun, but can be charged into a flamethrower, ice spell that sends out projecticles in a cone, and can be charged to be a singular strong shot. Corpse explosion makes an appearance, draining health from corpses and from alive enemies in two different spells. A few variations on healing, a one time shield (like Quen I guess). There's a ridiculously strong fireball spell as well.

I'm not even out of the first big map yet either.

So summons are just terrible. A single highwayman can solo all 5 of my skeletons like it was nothing. Shit's ridiculous. Most fights unironically take 5+min of running around re-summoning only for each one to die in 1 hit before they finish the summon animation. Holy fuck.

So summons are just terrible

get better summons and get better mana regen. I'm playing on veteran and summoning an endless swarm while I shoot lightning from the back has been working fine even against the ridiculous damage amped nighttime enemies.

its really shit, even mobile games play better than this trash
only way i could see myself continue playing is by forcing myself to, its just a bad game

what are some good mods for this game?

It's no TES but I am having a lot more fun with this one than Avowed

while I shoot lightning from the back

That is why you are killing things. The summons themselves merely exist to keep things distracted. I'm talking about letting your summons kill shit, which they are bad at.

im so glad im not depressed and i can still enjoy a good game when it comes out

hopping down the side of a cliff like a goat instead of taking the long path around

get to cliff edge, very obvious gap on the right

go inside because I assume it's a hidden area

it was a hidden area, but it's a literal trap complete with corpses and blood on the walls including bleeding fingers/nails from where someone tried to crawl out.

There is actually no way to leave the room naturally, so you have to teleport out with a consumable or with the bonfire buff

kino

So is it as good as other TES games? Some of the steam reviews are saying it's better than bethesda games.

Is it true the full game is much better than the demo? The demo hitches quite a bit.

game about king arthur

has slav music

the fuck

Played the demo and it sucked cock - played like a really amateurish TES clone with extremely bad combat. Is this just a concentrated shilling campaign by poolanders?

I'm talking about letting your summons kill shit, which they are bad at.

They struggle with the stronger boss enemies (most of the bandit leaders just one tapped my summons) but against generic highwaymen and equivalents they've been able to take them out themselves. The skeletons suck though, I've been using the gremlins with big hammer summons.
In boss fights i've been putting skeleton and hammer guy on the same loadout slot so I can spam out 4 summons instantly then go back to using my actual magic.

theres no way a normal person playing this would bother making gameplay compilation webm's edited to make it look as good as is possible

asmongold is too retarded for this game. now i might actually buy it. is this what they pay streamers to do now? like those mobile game ads where the player is fucking retarded

I like that the dungeons all have a reason to be there, its not just "here are some skeletons and treasure chests for some reason" but what the fuck is up with the dialogue? Every conversation feels like your character has no understanding of how even basic things work, even Snake wasn't this autistic.

summon tree provides insane buffs for mana regen speed

with just 3 summons out i can spam magic into infinity, my little army just mauls everything to death

I dread to imagine how utterly broken it will become with higher tier summons

If you don't play a Pict you're WRONG.

Is there RP in the game, with dialogue choices and such? I'd like to be more than "guy who explores caves and fights things". The game does look cool though

Yep and skill checks that seem to matter. An early quest has you investigate some undeds in a cemetary and you find a necromancer there who is trying to figure out how to make sentient intelligent undeads and you can help him or tell him to fuck off and kill him, or you can convince him to become a healer and to give up on that crap.

There's no real "background" checks. However you can fuck up questlines and even lose the chance to be offered quests if you just randomly pick whatever dialogue option.
There are dialogue options that require you to have certain stats above certain levels.

Seems really good to me. I must have killed around 15 ish enemies here. Veteran difficulty.

This game deserves to fail because the game makers are antivax conspiracy theorists

holy based picking this game up

Why does it looks so blurry and grey?

The protagonist has bad eyesight.

looks like shit.

The performance is fine for me with my 4070 but it does tank like crazy in a few areas like the Miner's Tunnel or the tavern in the first town.

I'm enjoying it. In fact, I'm having a lot of fun with it.

But if you're expecting a AAA or even AA game, you're going to be disapointed. It's barely above an Indie title. It's Eurojank in all it's glory and faults. I cannot stress enough how much this is Eurojank. If you like the original Stalker games or things like Gothic, you'll probably like it too.

Drowners, gotta be.

YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHHH

smells like russians in this thread, back to the grinder with you and please fuck off from Witcher threads as well

always fucking trying to belittle everything just because they failed as a nation and can't produce a shit it means everyone else must be miserable as well fucking bucket crabs of a nation go play smyta or whatever you animals call it. so much fucking jealousy

Also, I like the night system. It's pretty cool.

it's way better than toddslop

slavs are the only people capable of making european mythology games. if it were down to an english dev arthur would be a black woman, Excalibur would be a scimitar and the stone would be a statue of churchill

Toddsisters... They're mocking us...

How do I know if an item is a dagger? Like in some cases it's obvious but not always.

You did kill the traitor and purge the barbarians, right?

slavs are the only people capable of making european mythology games

apparently not if they think everyone listens to slavcore edm

dark messiah

vermintide

chivalry

for honor

dragon's dogma

there is literally no excuse for a brand new game in current year to have such horrendous dogshit combat

brand new game in current year to have such horrendous dogshit combat

but enough about E33

is it better than Avowed? i thought that game was terrible

its better than avowed but thats a very low bar. avowed is the definition of smooth brained mid slop

Im interested in this game, but I need to know if there is none edgy looking armor. Is there holy knight/paladin/crusader looking armor that isnt all spikey or skeleton like?

an other ancient but post birth of christian europe game that completely ignores christiandom and roman history in favor of a completely vanilla and neutral "the church"

it may as well just take place in an other universe at this point tbqh

Is this a joke or something? Because how much that guy went on about Armor? Is the information on this incorrect? Am I gonna get one shot by wearing it or something?

you can be a paladin with a Great Helm with spikes on it

Hmmm, post helmet.

marketer material 1032 (employee #12).webm

only one way to find out :^):^):^):^)

developers really aught to stop assigning UI design to marketing interns and let actual artists do the UI

Is magic dot build good? I already put points into increased status dmg + dudes with status take x more.

Wow... I totally don't regret wasting my materials. I'm going to kill that retard.

go ahead and make a game where the UI is fantastic anon, im sure thats what people want in their video games... a good menu screen

see
That anon can make basic simple knight gear. Not the one he has selected. See the basic knight metal armor?

go ahead and be lazy anon and create something no one will remember or look at fondly

See the basic knight armor

I will now buy your game. I will be a knight of GOD. Who also uses summons on occasion.

yeah dude im totally a servant of God, just ignore the skeletons and imps behind me

Surely there are non evil summons.

They're holy skeletons and purified imps, honest.

where are the porn mods

You can get non-monster summons.

Its more like first person dark souls at home than skyrim, at least that's the impression the 20 minutes or so I played gave me.

are two handed weapons overpowered or something? i feel like im cruising along on the hardest difficulty and i havent even put in any stat points yet because i cant make a decision

really enjoying just roaming around finding caves and dungeons and shit
the first place i found coming out of tutorial island was a fucking cursed druid grove hidden underneath a lake of blood
sickdark to the extreme and i do not mind it at all

I got a friend

Can someone please post the steam chart for this game?
I need to know ifI should be coping or seething...

it's like skyrim but good!

I'm really liking how much I'm being rewarded for exploring. Even just digging up some chest in some random tucked away corner gives me some really nice stuff.

needing steamcharts for an indie eurojank rpg

Just play and enjoy.

Unironically, yeah, kinda. It's a little janky but ultimately, I enjoy this more than Skyrim. A big part of it is that combat is more satisfying. Playing a big two-hand sword guy, combat feels very meaty.

if you cant do this then its not better than Skyrim

cool game

im having fun with it

Drowners... Gotta be.

does she have to take periodic shits and urinate?

head is a different skin tone from the body

into the trash it goes.

This game is really $40? like why

screenshot makes it look like you have a projection of a little archer dude in your hand

I want to summon a small army of six inch tall archers to shoot toothpick volleys

I will now buy the game.

goodnight guys ive spent all day playing this and ive had an explosion doing so

thats normal tbhfdesu
women only do makeup on face and maybe neck and maybeeeeeee chest area if they really in a dire situation but have to dress up fancy

no way to have enough strength to use the first shortsword you find in the game

kinda weird, innit?

night time

the wyrd is upon us

can't see shit

hear howling in the distance

see a shadow in front of me

stop and watch

suddenly clanging

run away like a bitch

Night time is pretty cool

what game is this?

except its a different skin tone that goes all the way down to the neck.

kill an ogre on the beach

find a spear that stacks bleeding on each hit

pretty good

dirty grail: avalon fallguys

or even AA game

WHY THE FUCK Is $40?! FUCKING JEWS

god this UI is so bad lmao stop posting it

Why are the start requirement so strict in this fucking game

find a mace

oh, you might be able to use it in six levels assuming your put your whole one point in the same thing, see you in three hours.

never seen a game where using a shitty ass short sword had a hard stat check.

It's very big despite being Eurojank.

shit looks like so ai generated lul

You get to level 5 instantly after killing Caradoc tho.

You got played. Too easy.

Is it UE5?

fuck it, oblivion remastered was so boring, i need something to play

That looks like a mobile game, and not a good one.

unity, lol

its unity

even unity games have options to have non-mobile looking UIs

stop posting about a thing in the thread about the thing

nah fuck you

i refuse to believe more than one person cares this deeply about the menu screens. stop samefagging.

unity is better than ue5.

Game is good?

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THIS PILE OF SHIT IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM, WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP MENTIONING IT?!?!

in this thread you are the piece of shit. we are here to talk about the game, not cry about ui components. be gone you boring person

It is very great and I'm having lots of fun.

what's so triggering about it? all info u need is shown, u can see urself, and it still looks cool and minimalistic

Pros

Satisfying combat - albeit, simplistic. Hits feel heavy, parrying feels good and being a Warrior is fun. I haven't tried anything but pure melee.

Heavy RPG features including dialogue checks, large pools of dialogue and talking to lots of people or exhausting dialogue leads to quests. Build variety also seems nice but again, I've only been playing around with melee based stuff.

Really good exploration. Lots of secrets everywhere and you're constantly rewarded for exploring.

Cons

Crappy UI, like horrendously bad UI that lacks any soul, though while it looks like dog shit, it at least is perfectly fine to navigate

Lots of small eurojank bugs

Not a fan of the mix of Zdzisław Beksiński, Hieronymous Bosch and HR Giger art style in some areas, but that's more of a personal opinion

some of the survival or RPG like elements feel a bit too harsh early on, but quickly level out when you are around level 10, so it's not a huge deal

Ultimately, it's a pretty good game. It's peak eurojank. Reminds me of playing Risen or Gothic as a kid. I'm about.... 20+ hours in. I haven't even got past the first area. Exploring and killing feels good enough that I've been basically 100%'ing everything.

it should match the games aesthetic. and if the game was modern and minimalist then sure. otherwise its just a cheap copout learned by no skill hacks in some online course

destinybros?!?!

What kind of massive sperg cares that much about a UI?

i mean shit looks bad

It does but I don't really care that much as long as it's functional

But what about Anglo-Saxon armor?

UI fags should band together and make their dream game. I'm sure a well designed and themed UI will sell your game.

It does look bad, but the game is fun so it's a small price to play. I think the problem is devs are taught to just streamline UIs now and not that its integral to the games aesthetic. Good and aesthetic UI doesnt matter anymore as long as its functional.

I'll get it if it's not woke and has women who look like actual women with their cleavage and ass hanging out.

it should match the games aesthetic

Why?

Would you?

no openings

doesnt seem like a rational thing to do

It's a great game so far! A bit rough around the edges but nothing that hinders gameplay. Reminder to ignore obvious jeet and zoomer posters seething and spaming buzzwords, they don't play games and can be ignored

I mean -- It does look awful. It's extremely functional, but it looks like shit. It's not a deal breaker for me, a UI is a miniscule thing, but a good UI really helps keep immersion or makes you feel nice just looking at it.

what other eurojank should I consider? this games clunky/janky/euroness has not bothered me much at all desu

ive played kinggdom come and elex

Gothic and Risen were fun.
Stalker series obviously.
Hellpoint is canadian, but it's got all the same hallmarks. Very, very good world. Lots of exploration.

Hopefully someone mods it I guess, but yeah I'm not really paying attention to it

you installed +1000mods and wasted your whole life to this and it still looks like unity dogshit porn game

this is some sort of mix between gothic and skyrim with some little bits of dark souls in there. its okay I guess.

is there a level cap?

This nigger needs to go, just randomly shows up and one-shots me.

I like him. The whole night thing is a nice idea. You're supposed to fear the night. Come back when you're stronger.

so in my early levels i had some pretty intense fights at night but now it doesnt seem to happen. one at the cemetary was insane idk if it was a wyrdness raid or whatever but there were so many enemies and i was low lvl. how does it work? i want to be raided it was fun and now im much more powerful bring it on niggas

the rat boss

wtf. feels like some fights were designed with cheesing the AI in mind

The whole night thing

What night thing? Also I'm level 20. I've seen him a few times when I was much lower level but he just watched from a distance and disappeared if I got close. Now he just pops up randomly and kills me, npcs around, and my summons don;t even acknowledge his existence even if I resummon them or order them to attack.

I've played about two years ago, got out of the dungeon and thought it was fucking whatever

idk maybe it's more fleshed out now but I was left unimpressed

Really? That doesn't happen to me at all. He does try to kill me, but I just run away. Never had him appear near NPCs and whatnot. I assumed it was impossible.

I met Yorath in the Crypt and I convinced him not to fight me and then convinced him to kill himself.

Now he's a zombie. Is there a point to coming back here at a later date? The caretaker told me to come and visit. Or should I just kill Yorath and get his armor???

amerimutts were not developing it? if not, mite b good

It's very fun. The exploration is great.

I don't get these mods that make you the slut or the hentai games where bad things happen to her. I'd rather be the perpetrator.

You're supposed to self insert as the npcs

whoah people have different fetishes?? wild.....

Didnt horizon zero dawn ui devs just constantly attack elden ring's ui?

trannies

Downloaded this from /ourgirl/.
How do I get past my apathy to actual start the game?

temu oblivion but with even more jank

start a new game

you can skip the tutorial

Based. Todd, step it up.

blood abomination

this game has been really good so far but this boss is indefensible

tracking projectile spam

massive fake dark souls 2 hitboxes

meme fog taking up half of the arena and hitting you with a dot

Avowed is terrible

posts a webm of it looking cool as hell

I'm getting mixed messages here

it has worse than veilguard companions and the quality drops after the first level. the world is very much dead and the only reward is a "chest" with resources so you can upgrade your only weapon. every level has the same loop so youve seen it all very early on. the cities are dead. they made the desert area full of whites but the forested area 99% black (cuz muh cultural appropriation!)

sounds like a shit game, never played it

honestly the thematic elements, art design, and monsters just make me want to play the Witcher 3 again

the game will never play any different than the first 5 minutes. upgrades only amount to % more damage. theres nothing interesting or new you'll ever find

i only played the demo so i cant tell as it ends at the boat

is this open world like skyrim, or on rails like say dark messiah?

It's dark messiah with shittier combat and tacked on open world

this is my biggest complaint about the fucking game. two spells at a time. like wow sooo fun i wish it was just fable TLC cycling menu
also 2 lightning spells? really?

find dryad waifu in basement

her "owner" tries to make saplings from her but they dont survive

gets mad and leaves

is this an analogy for pedo basement rapist wanting to breed children?

It does. It has nothing to do with the actual Arthurian legend or Christendom / Paganism.

so is it actually an open world game? The clips Ive seen were pretty dialogue and cutscene heavy.

how janky does the combat feel?

Not sure I'm having fun or great time with this game. I'll be trying out Blades of Fire instead because it looks actually fun.

other than the direct references to names and legends. but they really should've just come up with new names or something
