That's the Patreon/Subscribestar downloader and launcher, and it requires you to login in order to download. When you login it makes a file that the downloaded copy of the game will use to verify your credentials. That file has compromising information about your account and without it the game gives you an error message before you even reach the title screen.
There are none actually, Steam build is pretty much DRM free. There isn't even an API yet, probably because of EA.
Ah, I don't have the Steam version so I didn't know if they were using Steam's API yet or not. Even if they were it's super easy to strip that stuff out and distribute.
Even with the API, most of the time, it can be dealt with a simple .txt file. You'd be surprised at how much games on Steam are/can be made DRM free.
It's more about "the feeling"..
That was exactly my thought when I saw the difference in Patreon/Steam builds.
Cracking the Steam version seems to be fairly easy, or at the very least low risk
oh i see. so you must have sub'd to carnal instinct patreon? why you still looking for the cracked game?
I'm not looking for the cracked game, lol. Aside from sharing update posts when they come out, I'm here to talk about the game on the rare occasions when this thread is about the game rather than the developers.
You have to leave the starting area, complete the Masquerade quest then visit the shrine to change your appearance.
That one puzzled me at first too and I thought I had a censored build or something. It's part of the game's natural progression; by defeating a magical boss creature you gain the ability to break free of your magical "formless" bindings and to change your shape whenever you like. It's integrated with the game's lore fairly well, even if it means you spend the first few hours going "Wtf, I thought there was sex in this game!" Then you get the ability and suddenly you can walk around hanging werewolf dong and giant tits whenever you like.
No you are formless, you have to meet a wizard/shaman that will help you choose a form. Continue the main quest
Well, I'm trying to.. but when I loaded back in I've lost so much. I've lost my Quest Log, level, still have my equipment, but now I cannot fast travel or anything.
You've just come across the classic breakable stuff, the joys of EA... Sadly, the only way to fix this is to start over.
Well, that doesn't happen too often, but it is an existing and persistent bug, in any case.
Even then. I've stopped counting how many times a quest breaks or an important NPC permanently disappears with this method. The save/load system is just flawed. EA I know, but still, not an excuse. It should have been the first thing to fix.
Nah, this isn't an EA issue. It's a QA issue tied to the fact that, as best I can tell, the developers don't have any programmers on the team and so the save system is operating on duct tape and prayer.
