best experience yes, specifically no you can go for book 2 imediatly! but you loose whats best about the story, which is the story!
I'd definitely recommend playing book 1 first. The savegame at the end of Book 1 is loaded into Book 2, and continues your adventure. Book 1 ends day 115 ingames (New Year's Eve), Book 2 continues from day 116 (New Year's Day).
I also consider more then one playthrough of book one. There is so much hidden in the dialogue that is missable on a first go.
I played through book1 six times, to position myself for book2 and because IMHO it's simply not possible to explore book1 with fewer than 2-3 play throughs. Besides, book1 is one helluva lot of fun.
way to much fun, I have an unhealthy obsession with Chloe and so many questions. But most of all, what is her play? There must be hints in the dialogue somewhere just haven't found them yet ....
ok then I think my save is broken, for I nevet met the Ambassador Barny after.
You can only sell all but one of any gem type. That way you can't accidentally sell them all and have no gems
So shit hit the fan and Chloe pulls you out, again.
, as well as a shot breakdown for anyone interested in how it was done.|
your animations are getting better! smoother so to speak!I did a preview for one of the scenes in Act X (technically it's a spoiler, but without context it might be better treated as a teaser

Mostly because there's a ton more frames, which translates to rendering time
This clip was 2x 1290 frames; even in Blender that terrain took 10 hrs.
For most of the in game animations Droid uses A.I. frame interpolation software to increase the apparent frame rate of the animation to lower the 3D render load of creating them. That's why Droid said there's a lot more frames in that animation compared to the usual. Basically allows you to take 10FPS and have the computer calculate and insert frames to bring it up to 30FPS, for instance. That's why the game's animations have that 'feel' to them. Sacrifices to be made when you're not running dual 3090s or some other render farm.
