I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has any advice? I’ve had the game spoiled for me already so don’t worry about spoilers.
Acid damage is the best damage type. Very few things are resistant to it, and even then it doesn’t make killing them any slower because it also applies a powerful DOT. There is basically no reason to use any damage type other than Corrosion unless you want to waste ammo and spend more time killing a single enemy.
Make sure to constantly upgrade your stuff. You can very easily run into bullet sponges that 1 shot you if you’re only leveling up your character and not your gear.
The game’s maps are like walled areas of differing sizes so don’t expect open world or a sandbox. The cities are also walled and they differ in size so be prepared for that. I remember being disappointed with one city that’s built up and getting to it and finding out it’s about the same size as some others and there wasn’t much side content or exploration. The game’s writing is great and I think there’s various endings but I only played it once. There isn’t any romance with the companions but they’re well written l, there’s one in particular whose storyline I really appreciated as a queer person. Hope that isn’t a deal breaker for you as some Gamers have issues with things like that.
Overall I enjoyed it, just never felt like I needed to replay it like a Bethesda game, I play those once and do the things I want in it and move on.

Yeah, was kinda my take too.
You have freedom to backtrack, but there’s little reason to do so, so it plays kinda linearly.
And there’s little to “stumble upon” outside the cities.
The perks are almost all of the “slightly tweak one stat” variety, so there’s not a lot of excitement there.
Aside from the “science weapons”, which have some unique characteristics, the weapons you get tend to have pretty much forgettable characteristics, too, including the uniques. You’re not getting Ratslayer or the like.
It’s got a lot of similar elements to the Fallout series, but it didn’t click for me the same way.
Was pretty bug-free, though.
Playing this for the first time at the moment. I went into long guns and find them a bit boring now in the mid-game, will try to spec into heavy weapons.
The dialouge is what makes this game for me, so many fun lines and off-kilter characters.
It’s very fun and Pavarti’s story is incredibly sweet. Don’t get too caught up in looting every little item; you’re never gonna need it
Closest thing we’ll ever get to Firefly: The Game.
Enjoyed the atmosphere, the dialogue, the music and the feel of the weapons when they are being fired.
Loved Ellie and Parvati as companions. Parvati’s story is so goddamned sweet and is the emotional heart of the game in my opinion.
Ellie is a redhead, so she’s automatically awesome.
I liked the kid, bit don’t remember his name. Kind of generic and forgettable.
Nyoka has great dialogue during fight scenes, but again, kind of forgettable and her side quest was boring. But the voice actor did a great job with her.
The priest is a twat and I’ve literally never picked him up again on any new play through.
In conclusion, hella’ fun, but not open enough for more than two or three playthroughs. Once you’ve explored all the options, there’s not much to do anymore.
