This game gets boring fast.
I enjoyed the first 30 hours, but now I am completely burnt and bored of this game. Just my opinion, but the inventory management and the time spent just wandering around trying to figure out how to get to the next area has become tiresome.

I decided that if I'm going to play a party based RPG, I'd rather play Wasteland 3 or possibly War Tales. This one is just too tedious for me, but I admire you folks who have the patience to complete it.

For inventory management, CTRL & SHIFT + Lclick commands works wonder, you can then rightclick -> send to camp or another beefy character that can carry.

Loot Bags and Pouches and use them to sort your stuff. Duh.

Read stuff with words on it scattered around the world with double cogs interaction mouse-over icon, they tell you who what where when and 99% of the time put a marker on the map, you lazy basterd.

The only thing I can give to you, is that sometimes stuff don't stack by itself, and THAT is annoying.

Based. Inventory and navigation are a chore - like they were in DoS. Also it's not exactly clear what you should be doing and where you should be going.... Explore until you uncover all the map. Do the sidequests, which amount to mostly: kill everything, move on to the next map.

Really disappointing for an RPG. The R does not come through properly, it's only marginally better than Solasta in that regard. In fact, I'd say Solasta does local maps better, because they don't try to have 'one map to rule the overworld' and the local maps have more character, are less of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to navigate, and you could actually lower the camera properly to look straight ahead without the whole contrived 'compressed reality' map falling apart...

Inventory management is just annoying in any game, isn't it? The more items the more annoying.

The sell the ♥♥♥♥ stuff is mega annoying.

If you need a work ethic for a game, that's not good. The time to be lazy is after work when you get home, which just so happens to also be the time I like to play games.

To each his own I guess. I disagree about this being boring, but I completely agree Wasteland 3 and War Tales are excelent.

Put stuff into bag, sell bag.

Wasteland 3??? Talk about even more Tedium should just be called Wasted 3 with how you have to be wasted to play it

Gotta say. Getting to moonrise now and it's getting a bit meh.

Act 2 it falls apart. A lot of the previous actions don't make much sense and you already have the best equipment fairly early.

It might also be the grey atmosphere of the dark lands.

Inventory management is fine, just don't be a hoarder.

IDK, it's fairly basic stuff to me, took me ages to sift through the inventory until I realised I could use shift+lclick to select a bunch of crap, put everything into a bag lying basically everywhere in the overworld, visit a merchant, one click boom gold is being made, now I essentially sell 1 000kg of inventory in less than a minute by having a character at the camp sending stuff while another is sitting in front of the merchant ready to sell and using basic windows commands and bags and never worry about carry weight because I send everything to camp immediatly.


It's not like I have to do trigonometry to calculate torpedo trajectory, it's just few clicks and well known windows commands, just have to realise it's possible.

On the same note, I hoard all the smokepowder barrels I can find and few boxes for elevation in the camp chest, that I take out when needed. That being said, even in tactician, the game is fairly easy with a solid party and you don't even need environmental help to run through everything the game throw at you.

I'll try that next time. Sounds like you have a good system for dealing with it.
