Actually shall we just put things like gold beetles as rewards for using each others Pawns and put a cash reward on completion. We'd all benefit.

Headed out for the border checkpoint town, with a plan to uncover a few areas of the map on my way. Ended up fighting a griffin, climbed up on its back and got flown away to its nest somewhere in the misty woods. That was a fun journey back. Not quite sure how my pawns ended up at the nest with me mind, but I’m glad they did! I really think they’d have been better off having a very cut down main quest that just sends you to different areas in the map. The fun is definitely in the journey. To be honest, I’m surprised this reviewed so well. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good fun to play but there are lots of weird things as mentioned in this thread that it’s getting a bit of a free pass for. I can look past it but I’m surprised it didn’t get knocked down for some of it. You might want to explore the northern part of the Misty Woods. Just saying. Shit, really? Was hoping not to head back there any time soon!

I feel bad when I discharge my hired pawns, even when I'm already planning to rehire them immediately! Can you do this and have them back, levelled up more straight away then?

Erm. I don’t think I was meant to kill those prison guards. Why did they attack me when I was asked in? This game is a mess sometimes.
A glorious mess.

Yup, you just take any items you've given them yourself, go into the rift, dismiss one at a time and rehire the same chap/chapess one at a time, leave the rift and bingo, they're back in your party all levelled up from the players progress

Completed it now but all I get from talking to him now is "that is all". I still have about 4 or 5 quests I can look at but none of them seem main quests related. What's the quest called that is making you go to battahl or whatever it's called? If you tell me that, I can work it out

Anyone else feel slightly guilty when you have that awkward chat and let a pawn go and have to stand there, with their replacement, while they slowly amble off? "It's not you, it's me"

Oops. I’ve done this all a bit upside down. Don’t think I was basically meant to ravage and loot the entire city including the palace and secret lab before the quest even gave me a residence permit.
Oh well. As you were everyone. You ain’t seen me. Right.

Haha I've just done the same in tbe noble quarter. Robbed absolutely everything and made a right tidy profit from excess courtly raiments, AND from the masquerade quest.
I'm shitting cash at the minute.

I just love how broken it is. I really shouldn’t be here, but no one gives a fuck. You’d think that’s a bad thing but I’m having so much fun does it matter? It’s just so stupidly enjoyable.

Someone more knowledgeable than I can probably confirm, but I believe so.
It's what I've been doing, anyway!
EDIT: Quaddy got there first

I seem to have unlocked a shortcut of sorts, if it goes how it looks like it will on the map. A handy fortress doth appear in the water between Harve and Bakbattahl! Also, I've right fucked up Hugo's questline I think. I've also had to use three wakestones on the same cunt that keeps attacking me. One tip for everyone as they go into Bakbattahl is: to go to the wee cavern pub and get the damn pass before going in to the city proper. Don't do what I did and just YOLO your way around first. I can only presume that, even though no one gave a fuck about me being there, the prison chaps were hostile because I didn't have it, even though I was flipping told to go there. Whoops.

Also Rob, Woddy wants to keep tossing me about the place. At one point he wouldn't move for about five minutes until I came over so he could chuck me three storeys up into the air. The guy's unhinged. Damn good fighter though. But unhinged.

How big is this? Feel like I've played for about twenty hours but only just did the masquerade and believe I've been everywhere on the starting area up until checkpoint town.

Hi! Is this worth a go on ps5 then? lots of negativity online about fps issues and microtransactions, sick of spunking 50 quid plus on games and never playing them (signs of 40+ gamer I think)

The FPS is fine on PS5 and the microtransactions - and the furore surrounding them - are a total non event. Nothing is mentioned or promoted in game for them and you at no point feel your gameplay is impeded or the pacing is off because you are expected to purchase them. Whatever they are. I've still not looked. But yeah, I mean it's not the smoothest game out there but it plays well. I haven't noticed any catastrophic drops in frames even with shit loads going on on screen. I've capped it at 30fps in the new patch as it was sometimes distracting looking skywards and the framerate suddenly going up towards 60. Rest of the time...yeah. It's perfectly fine.
Whether you like it or not and it's worth the purchase... Hard to say. I love it to bits, but it's ridiculous. It's janky and broken in parts, but one of the most outright fun games I've played in a long time. The map just begs exploration and every game session has something memorable going on.
Also, and I may have mentioned this before:

Hi there!
The microtransaction controversy has been massively overblown in my opinion. Yes, they exist; and yes, they suck. However, I'm 30-odd hours into the game now, and not once have I felt that any aspect of it has been designed to incentivise spending extra money on the micros.
FPS on PS5? Generally fine, although there are examples of minor stuttering (especially when you're running about the capital city). Combat and exploration don't suffer as a result, though.
Hope this helps.
EDIT: Damn you, Wunty!

steellam Also, as our esteemed colleague has already said, the fun factor in this game is ridiculous. You have to be willing to accept some drawbacks - esoteric design decisions, for example, and a fair amount of jank - but if you can do so, you'll have an absolute blast.

I like a bit of jank. Dragon's dogma 1 & 2 have charming jank.
Also, Alpha protocol rules despite being janky.
