stupid quests like the Metus Island Manor

[Vorshin]

Are 1 thing that should not be in the game in its state. I dont mind doing stuff but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hell, dont make us literally waste several hrs for nothing. Like Big butcher dude blocks door walks in room you carnt move whack whack game over start from scratch (20 minutes wasted). Finally got past him to find the end part is just as bad 4 or 5 black ghosts (sorry dark ghosts) and a banshee with at beast 1 use on lantern with no other means of getting any more leaving at least 1 or 2 of those dark ghosts alive and the banshee, they move faster than you can run which has an uber long cooldown after use.
The flashlight at the top does absolutely nothing i have hit them several times and it did nothing at all and the timer is that slow a dead snail, slowly sliding downhill can go faster than the actual use of opening that door.... you have about 3 seconds if your lucky before everything gets down from the top.

Whoever thought this one up needs to be Hung, Dawn and Quartered, with the bits not staked out but fed to pigs or other such animals.

Oh and fail on any stage and you will have to do the whole thing from scratch again, at least 30-40 minutes per failed run attempt (maybe longer). Not my sort of lame arsed thing.

Will be looking forward to this one. It is nice to have a challenge in the quest lines.

Heard the same sort of complaints about the 'stealth' quest where you had to sneak around the patrolling guards and the whole thing failed if were seen. Failed a couple of times, then slowed down to watch the pattern and it was much easier.

So, I suspect there is something that has been overlooked in the execution of this quest. Should be fun to figure out and a nice change from the usual 'Hi, now DIE' sort of thing.

Good Luck!

Metus was such an amazing experience. Refreshing, scary af, when it's 2am and dead silent at home and most of all so well designed. Period.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Metus quest.
Overall I think it was awesome, very cool and unique. Sort of reminded me of the old school Silent Hill games and it was a cool change of pace. However when I was doing it I failed a good half-dozen times and boy was I getting frustrated about it. The guy walks sooo slow and the first 10 minutes are very boring with unskippable cutscenes. When I say he's slow, I really mean he is slow. Like cmon man, do you really need to take 3 full seconds to open a door carefully while being chased by terrifying monsters?
It was pretty cool that you couldn't just tank through it or come back as a high ilevel, and man oh man it's so brutal how you only get 6 oils and are rarely given refills when you actually need them. The mission was genuinely pretty scary and stressful the whole way through. Honestly this may be one of the hardest pieces of content I've encountered in the whole game, granted I'm pre-t3, but it was not a cakewalk by any means.

I have very mixed feelings about the ending too
So I spent probably a good 2 hours attempting this nightmare. I died over and over and over again. I finally BARELY get to the very end of the mission and you know what happens?
YOU DIE. The investigator dies at the end anyways. While I'm not sure I saw that coming, it kind of cheapened the whole thing due to everything I did, all the near-death encounters I narrowly escaped from, were completely pointless.
Overall pretty cool, but I sure am glad that I'm done with it lol

Great story, really bad dev. Lot of bugs and frustrating things like the lantern hit box. 2h and didn't complete it. I'll try it again in a few weeks.

Yes, badly designed crap like this is just frustrating.
It could be kinda fun (still scary) if you'd just have to evade the enemies instead of trying to hit them with a light that "deals massive damage" - hint: no, it doesn't.
