How are the RPG mechanics in the game? Are they only superficial?
I remember playing this a few years ago but one of the quests got softlocked so I quitted.
I mean, we have combat and skill trees with abilities, food items and buff items, and some tool items. Levelling gives ability points where you can make builds around the skilltree.

In dialogue there are some serious choice swings, alternative routes, or even bringing companions to specific situations can completely overcome some issuesbecause the companion knows an alternative route or not. We track relationship standing based on contextual decisions, etc.

Great, it's been a while since I played so I've forgotten most of this. I might have to restart from the beginning, but I remember getting filtered by a certain fight at he beginning.
Thanks for your answer.

Combat in Avarice is still it eh works though, sadly it's been a stickier issue than we originally thought... but we are still working on it!

I just opened this thread to ask about this.
I was wondering if there's a way to get stronger aside from unlocking skills, because these fights are killing me. I'm level 14, and the only opponents I can beat are the Blackfurrs. Everything else is nearly impossible.

Blackfur fights are do-able but way overturned, the blackfurs are weirdly one of the harder things to fight in our game for... no reason lol. The way to beat them is basically keeping a distance going to where their charges end and then smashing them hard there, zoning etc.

It's... not optimal, and it should not be where our combat is. We are working hard on balancing still and some of the companions re lacking full ability trees. Samara though can be built to basically solo every fight haha, one of our discord people figured out how... can't remember the build.

Yeah Samara is great, but a glasscanon.
The problem is not the damage we take but our defense, maybe implement some passive skill tree that reduce the damage we take.

Mmmn... yeah we will have to look into that for sure, one idea was that Hiho's supports and heals would help, but that would be dumb of us to do because it'd limit companion comps to necessitating Hiho.Maybe some sorta damage mitigation tree, or maybe a more supportive option tree for Redic to enable the companions he brings? We'll be poking at it more, doing a lot of toying/experimentation with GnS before mainlining changes.

Some dialogues and texts are not translated into pt-br, could you take a look and update? I started playing and had a lot of fun with the game, good job!

We can take a look... but it is just DeepL unfortunately, we are hoping to organise with the community to collab and localise the game better for as many languages as possible. There will e translation tools and editors soon, could you say which parts weren't just so we can check if DeepL failed?

Basically, the entire dialogue with the naga Hiho and the beggar inside the house. I didn't go any further because I was waiting for the corrections to make better use of it.

Sorry but consider me a brainlet; what exactly is Scylla (in terms of position or bloodline or whatever) and why does she insist on fighting us to the death if we find out? I guess she was a niece of royalty, or even the crown princess, but why is she so protective of that information?

Also, exactly how many blackfur hunting guild quests do you need to take before you get upgraded to silver and can hunt trogs?

Lastly, I can still only access the city, outskirts, toreign, and the hunting grounds on the world map. are any other places available? I still have the ogre's debt quest but otherwise, not sure where to go or what to do after killing Scylla. Also, naga left so that kinda hurts.

IIRC, her kingdom has fractured into multiple factions during civil war, some of them want to kill her, others want to try to put her on the throne, which, as she believes, will draw attention to her and get her killed.
Also, you don't need to kill Scylla, you can persuade her from fighting you. It'll give you a lot of additional quests and lore.

Yeah, but since I stuck with that decision I feel like carrying it out to the end, at least. Just bothered me that she gave the 'now that you know, you must die' situation just so she could get killed in the end. Some powerful but stupid paranoia I guess.

Caved and looked through the walkthrough, and I guess after saving the ogre that's all the content for non-patreon/subscribestar for now.

The Linux version works, and since it uses PFFPatch.dll from the Windows version, it should work too. Have you tried the recommendation from the post where you got the crack?

I deleted config, but it only changes big error into some small yellow one where it says "exhausted" something something. Then I tried downloading files and patches from messages of other people, also didn't work (each time I re-extracted game and deleted the data so should be fine there). Idk, maybe I am just missing something
I tried it on version 37_3 if it makes a difference

Wow, that was a fucking disappointment lol
This game is just constant yapping and yapping about lore I couldn't care less for. It's over complicated for the sake of prolonging the gameplay
