really wish i could experience it for the first time again. the exploration is unequaled.

So I took a major break from this game since Starfield just dropped for PS5. Afraid I won't even recognize it when I launch it again!

All of the reviews and hype got me to buy a PS5 just for this game and not only have I not been disappointed, it's surpassed my expectations.

I know part of this game is finding armor to make yourself look cool, but how can you ever wear anything other than the pirate hat when you're running around?

I don't want to miss any treasure!

absolutely take your time with it. the story hits warp mode somewhere around chapter 5 and 6 and it is hard to slow down after that point.

It is one of the best gears out there. combine it with i think hounds claws and it is AMAZING!!

Added to my Steam wishlist. Will probably pick this up once I need a pause from PoE2's new mega patch.

I'm at 55 hours and still feel like I haven't really scratched the surface. I'm still in Chapter 3. I've just been enjoying doing as many side quests as I can.

Just started chapter 7 and I'm finally starting to get enough gears and equipment to start customizing. Only have red and green dye that I've found dyers for so far so my guy looks like a Christmas decoration.

Being able to recover resources from upgraded gear is such a quality of life improvement.

I just got the chest for my house that lets me access my crafting materials anywhere and that is going to solve so many logistical issues.

Next I need to figure out the gear combining with the witches.

I keep forgetting to put the chest and other storage solutions in my house. I need to do that so I don't have to worry about heading back every other mission to deposit more

I only have the OG Kuku cooler right now - the whole camp system seems super overwhelming when you read about farming and all the other crazy stuff.

I mostly ignore all of the stuff I see online and just go at my own pace because you can go down some huge rabbit holes and it's mostly people just trying to min/max everything, which I don't think you need to do at all. I am very average at combat and blow through most of the enemies - every once in a while I'll die when a barrel explodes or I find a new kind of enemy that I have no idea how to fight.
