5 hours later and fuck this game.
I like the initial setup of how the game works, but low fps makes controlling the game a pain.
There's so much save reloading going on.
My trait points are spent wrong and fixing it means restarting.
The drop in the bucket for me is omnivore still not actually allowing me to eat bugs without getting sick.
And what's up with needing 10 levels in survival to get the cauldron thing?
The random encounters are either too hard (in town) or too easy (outside of town).
If I get ambushed in town, I die. Like, go outside of the bank, random encounter, it's rogues, escape, hide, leave, escape, nope. Final option left is approach and you just get bumrushed by like 3 dudes and 4 more as backup.
Meanwhile if you get rushed by undead or wolves or something you just walk away without a problem.
So areas that are supposed to be safe are not safe and areas that are supposed to be scary are easy.
Travelling still takes too much stamina. Player is punished heavily for making a mistake pretty much anywhere. I don't see a way to fix the issue with current worldbuilding as it is.
Barter points system is cool, but doesn't work because it encourages hoarding.
Player character gets dirty too easily (though I didn't bother keeping my character clean).
Game needs to decide whether you're playing a little girl or an adventurer. Where's my bedroll / fire starting equipment if I'm an adventurer?
Traits are poorly explained; some people have more carrying capacity but I have no idea from where because nothing says that it will give carrying capacity.
SCU is not explained.
Quests don't add themselves to your notes, meaning player is fucking clueless on what to do. "but realism" - Why did you add the first quest in notes? Either do it old-school and make me draw my own maps with notes and everything or give me convenience and put a quest log somewhere.
Herb quest needs bulk turn in because it's dumb to walk over and over and over.
Mine quest (clear spores) is annoying to play because you can't see shit. Lantern needs to have a stronger version for sale somewhere (Bullseye lantern? Could even make it shine a beam away from player so you get long distance 80 degree lighting or something).
And lastly:
Fuck this
Why drop loot in places where you can't pick it up
Why force me to play a waiting game with bunnies if I want to get the meat.
