1. I started my longest Rise from the Ashes run eleven months ago. I generally played it one or two hours a day with a four to six hour session once a week or so on one of my days off. I coulda restarted like I've done countless times, but I enjoyed getting far enough in the game Laika aged up to 18 years old naturally.Hi guys, I have a few question for the veterans of this game to assess if it makes sense FOR ME to invest a lot of time in this game.
1) It seems to me that this game has a serious amoun of "grind" in it. When I look at things like the investments in the Wiki. I need 10.000 Influence for the big ones and then it takes for example for the General Store (Redhaven) investment more than 200 days before I break even 70k investment / 350 profits a day IF their are no disruptions. I mean I like to take my time and not trying to speedrun the days / the game. So I am supposed to play for half a year until I have the reputation, then invest and then play for 1-2 years so that the investment actually pays of eventually? How much time is that in Real Life? 100 hours?
Is there actually - FUN - stuff to do in this game for this kind of insane amount of time?
2) The combat system. It seems to me combat is: Get the best Ranged NPC you can afford. Give them Rifles. Give them Armor. Klick on NPC. Fire at Enemy. Klick on NPC fire at Enemy. Klick on NPC fire at Enemy. Is there anything else to it? There are no Skills like "rapid fire" or "aim" or anything else right? Also no leveling up except for the ultra slow and boring you get +1 if you crit (1/20 chance). There also is no special equipment with stats or stealth or anything. Just generic equipment and autoattack. Right? Combat feels like a boring chore.
Does this get better / more interesting / more challenging later in the game SOMEHOW?
3) There isn´t a way to get plastic surgery for the girls or a mod that adds varity for the body types is there? ALL women in this game - it seems - are of the same body type: "petite". As someone who likes curves, big boobs and big asses there aren´t really any options for me, right?
4) Is there any purpose to gambling beyond the 3 games a day in the Tavern for a few hundred bucks in potential profits? Are there some high stackes games later? Anything? I took all options to max gambling in char creation but it seems I loose 3 out of 4 games and "progress" seems to again happen 1/20 games on a crit ...
2. There's a strategic component, especially if you play on Grimdark level and like capturing enemies. Bullets cost money, for the best guns it's goddam expensive. So I found trying to fight the most efficient battles a mini-game of its own. The best tactic in this regard is not always to hit the most dangerous attacker with everything you've got from everyone, sometimes you'll still make the kill if you use a rifle and have the mercs with ammo packs fire the coilguns and plasma rifles. It's kind of like playing Tetris with variably-shaped pieces. There's also an 'Aim' function too, it's on the right.
3. I prefer the more realistically rendered girls of MoR. There's plenty of games available where you can fuck beachball inspired women.
4. You can gain skill points gambling. I also like knowing there might be naked teen-aged sluts crawling around the floor sometimes getting their bellies filled.
