The way this game handles side quests is just on another level... every single contract feels like it could be a main story beat in another RPG. Compared to…

The way this game handles side quests is just on another level... every single contract feels like it could be a main story beat in another RPG. Compared to most open world games it just makes everything else feel empty.

A mí me pasó lo mismo el año pasado, entre dos mudanzas, no soltaba el mando ni para comer bien.

Ces contrats bien écrits, je m'en souviens surtout la nuit, à en enchaîner un de trop avant de me coucher.

I picked this up during a really slow winter, no real plan, just wandering between villages talking to random NPCs for hours. Didn't even rush the main quest for weeks.

Ces duels contre Skyrim ou Elden Ring, ça dit surtout que les votes tournent en rond depuis des années.

L'écriture, oui, clairement, mais le combat reste le combat, moyen.

Ce mode errance sans quête active, ça marchait surtout parce que les chargements entre zones étaient rares une fois lancé, on restait dedans.

I went in expecting just another fantasy grind and ended up caring more about side characters than I usually do in a full trilogy of other games. The main pacing does dip hard in the middle chapters though, I remember losing motivation around a certain point before picking back up.

389e me paraît déjà généreux, il vit surtout sur sa réputation plus que sur ses qualités réelles.

Comparé à Elden Ring il perd clairement en exigence de gameplay, mais franchement sur l'écriture et les personnages secondaires je le trouve largement au-dessus, ce qui n'est pas rien vu la comparaison.

a mí también me pasó justo el invierno pasado, perdí semanas enteras solo con las secundarias, ni recordaba la principal.
