First time i tried to play this in ages (last time there were no companions)...so i dont start my complainings with having to start a new game...but honestly, it never was a crash parade like this. Instead of rewinding time i mostly end on my desktop. In cyprus is a town i never get in since the game always freezes when i try to enter it.
Then i tried to fight 2 wolves with companion (the first one you get) by my side and while giving the death blow to the second my useless companion, half a mile away, died for no reason while the wolf was still alife...worse, i couldnt hit that wolf again, but he could kill me just fine...and as said, many rewinds sent me to desktop, this was another. Fun thing, it happend again with brittany but without the rewind crash, now i know that crash was a good thing because my companion looked alife, but couldnt be interacted with which made her skills unusable and while trying to hit the thief that chased me near the wolves i got a light freeze...means neither i nor the enemy could move or do anything, but the sidemenu worked....so i tried to outsmart that bug and tried to timetravel and hello again o desktop of mine. After starting the game again i was next to the thief, one hit and bang, the same light freeze again but this time the time travel worked...however, i still cant interact with my companion..."solved" the problem by changing the bugfucked companion (brittany) against zoe, i still dont get why some of the girls who are stated as working companions in the wiki and in the changelog are locked but whatever.
Hmm, looks like whenever you kill some clone of someone you have already captured (like the swords girl, the thief and the witches) your companion dies instead of them...at least they fall over a blood puddle and cant be interacted with anymore until you change that companion, the enemy looks alife but dont moves in the battle screen and you get the xp, energy and loot messages, but they dont fall and their icons dont vanish from the map, they even keep running around there. You know what? The only one i currently dont have any problems with is that male bandit roaming in greece, maybe you should check his scripts...either to make him fit in this bug-mess or to find the solution for the problems all the others share ^^
Finally bugfree i ran into a new bug...having zoe and visiting greek shows her roaming the town and in the hut, ignoring the temporal mechanics - if you buy a door and run into the doormerchant again in the second greek timeline it crashes however you try to leave, be it by leaving the battle map, travel through- or rewind the time...but if you capture her soul (again) what makes her leaving first, you can leave the battle map without a crash.
Btw, the companion system needs a tweak, its so annoying to waste a move just to activate their skills. Are they brainless bots or followers? They should be able to auto use
selected skills as long as they have the energy to do so. Especially the EXP moaning should always aktivate in battles without the need to threw away any strategic position or the first strike.
That being said, there seems to be a problem with groups of enemies, be it packs, puritans or rabbits, they often switch to ghost mode (means you cant select or attack them and just walk through them) until you travel somewhere and come back. But some like to redirect their death, especially the rabbits use this mean tactic, you hit one of them, the damage is redirected to the witch and then she magically hits you...at least thats the only possible explanation why some rabbits dont take damage, then deal a deadly blow against your full 100 lifepoints and after you dealt with them the witch refuses to talk to you.
Well, on the bright side the puritans give finally exp instead of error messages like last time i played it...makes the grind a little shorter by killing them over ond over again like they deserve, but on the dark side thats the only thing that changed in salem since then.
Hmm...i lost the overview during the whole bug'n'crash orgy...somehow i mostly run into girls i can only kill...is there a list of girls you currently can capture? The wiki cant really be up-to-date since i have 15 girls and it states only 14 can be captured. Btw, while i can strip 15 girls in hestias menu i have 2 ??? girls in my sidebar overview...and i still can only take zoe, brittany and the useless first one with me, all the other girls are somehow locked and not selectable.
Btw, please stop adding cute girls you cant capture yet...Its sad to kill them every time -,-
So please, once you are done implementing core features and fixing the ton of bugs, focus on completing open quests and girls before adding new unfinished stuff...i mean, if i remember correctly i complained 2 years ago because after playing 5+ 0.8x updates there was no progress in salem and now, 2 years later you still cant finish that damn quest, but we have have new locations and many beauties you can only kill or avoid.
And somehow speedy is missing. In greece1 she gave me daddy blowjobs and footjobs and now she only says we see us in future, but in greece2 she never shows up. I rewindet countless times, traveled back there after every other questline (especially the mermaid thing...by the way, you may want to check your colors, summer as well as aria speak sometimes as kronos and kronos as them...and you might check summer in the casle because if you talk to her you just end your round without talking to her at all), killed everything else to ensure the slightest movement on the border of view can only be her, ...nothing. And all the crashes made me restart the game pretty often, so thats also not a solution.
And um, you should decide for a level up strategy, increasing the needed xp and reducing the gained xp at the same time is too much, especially considering how your level ups work, you grind an eternity to reach 10/10/100, currently i need 2000 points to level up and the hightest exp amount i get is 50 with a moaning companion, so i would need at least 40 kills and dont joke about being a time controler now because thats the reason it should work faster. The only higher levels are gods and they get bored while you hit them...
Btw, whars with the red and blue fairies? As far as i remember they should push your stats a little, but now they only heal...and worse, they are greyed out in the "you've been killed" screen, so you can only use them from the inventory...and since you cant buy them anywhere it almost makes no sense to have them in the first place, especially since they now disappear after using like the green ones, what makes their only difference the limit to only use them from the inventory.
Oh, and maybe you could consider to remove the limited walking if you are alone in an area or turn the "wait" button into a "leave" button...sucks to go step by step to leave a battlemap after killing everyone ^^
And please add a option to drop quests because it is impossible for me to complete the puritang quest and it annoys me to always get remindet about it until the end of the game...
I finish this post with a (not really) stupid question: Why can we attack our girls in our own castle?
