Got some glitch where all the items and character models in my menu is in complete shadow. I can't see what anything looks like, sucks.
I'm not intuiting something with the HUD. Sometimes a small icon of a weapon or armour will appear at the bottom and I assumed it was some durability indication, but that didn't seem to be the case. What's it indicating?
I don't know what you mean, because when you one-shot an enemy with a weapon from really far away one of two things happens. Either those around them don't even notice, or they basically go into the Metal Gear alert mode, search for a bit and then go back like nothing is amiss. The only time they go right into combat is if you didn't kill your first target outright. This is a lot harder to do indoors, but outside it's pretty easy.
Hey guys, been a poster and lurker here and at the old site for over a decade. Went to school for acting. BFA, MFA, all that. Slowly got into voice acting over the last 6 years. Have appeared in smaller and background roles in just over a dozen games. Voice, mocap, full face capture, the works.
Getting to work in the industry I care so much about has been a real treat. Though not without its challenges to be certain!
But this week marks a pretty big milestone for me. First major role in a AAA game.
Now that it's out, I can finally share that I am Felix!
I honestly couldn't be prouder. The game looks incredible. I have to wait a couple days more before I'm able to sit down to start it, but lurking this thread, it's so cool to see that Obsidian's efforts are resonating with so many. They really are top notch.
That's it! Just wanted to say hi and express my envy that you're all able to play it right now lol.

abuse the dodgejump and the slow motion skill? or shoot them down till you have better items :-)
awesome, you did an amazing job from what i've seen so far!
Congrats dude! Haven't met your character in the game yet but looking forward to it - the voice acting in general has been really superb so far!
Oh cool, grats!
I gotta track Felix down. Think I passed by him earlier, not realising I could recruit him.
Early game spoilers:
So does Torben? (bigwig of Emerald Vale) attack you no matter what or did I just accidentally aggro him?
Pretty sure there's a fair number of weapons the Muzzle mod works on. From what I can tell so far you'll only stay undetected if the hit kills the target and obviously when other enemies are outside of the noise range when you shoot.
Depending on when you are talking about, you can talk him down.
I had finished the conversation with him, then walked down the stairs and got ready to fight the guards he was talking about. Immediately upon engaging them, he runs down the stairs after me and joins in
You did a great performance, Felix is very lovable in no small part to his voice. Congrats :)
Oh wow I didn't expect to see a voice actor from the game in here! You did a fantastic job as Felix, I'm loving his excitement at exploring the furthest reaches of space. Had a good chuckle too over his conversation with Vicar Max about ADA being sentient, great job from the both of you there.
from a guide:
Hitting enemies in the head will "blind" them, lowering accuracy. An arm shot can make them drop weapons, and leg shots will cripple them, and make them limp. The effect of a body shot will depend on your weapon. Shotguns knock enemies down, while pistols can produce bleeds, and so on.
I love that Parvati is basically Kaylee from Firefly already. "I hate you Vending Machine." All the writing has been on point and reminds me of why Obsidian are so great at what they do.
Still wish I could get more fine tuned graphical options though. There seems to be this hazy BLUR filter on literally everything in the game and I think it's aliasing but I can't turn it off, and the only thing I can find is "screen effects" and that's it that I can tweak. Anyone know what the blur is from? They really need more graphics options so I can sharpen this shiz up.

Its the chromatic aberration most likely. You can turn screen effects to low to lessen it or you can turn it off completely in an ini file. I believe the instructions are in the PC perf thread.
Oh there's ini edits, fantastic. Just like old times then. I'll take a look at that.
Did you intimidate him? I did that and he backed off entirely
So a guy at work is complaining about how big the hud is. Can you change the size of it or anything?
Oh sweet baby jesus that looks so much better. Thank god for turning off AA.
I hope modders eventually get in on this too. I already love this game so much due to it hitting my classic Scifi loves and such but some of the graphic options being so limited is a bummer. CA and AA is turned off and now the game looks even better thanks to finding the sharpening line too. Thanks everyone!
If on PC you can change the scale of all elements with this:
I made mine too big by accident, the numbers make a LOT of changes so make sure to make small increments haha. I had my hud going off the screen at one point.
Holy shit I am DYING
God the dialogue in this game is so good
Meeting her parents and one of the options was "[Spit on floor] Nice place you got here, I'll definitely be taking some stuff with me."
God the dialogue in this game is so good
I'm so conflicted. The writing is amazing, gameplay amazing but damn those closeup animations on faces during dialog are rough. Making it hard for me to connect with the characters.
There's a pop-up that tells you what the area hit will do. It's important to check because some weapons have different effects for the chest/torso area.
Do you have high dialog skills? They can cause a lot of havoc during combat, which isn't communicated well when actually fighting.
cool it might because the bolt gun fires 3 shots. Was actually having easier time inside for some reason then camps outside. Might put more time into it and just adjust the way I play. Maybe even start over and just go melee meat head build.
this game reminds me of the old guard of RPG´s, it feels a bit like a tabletop RPG session.
definitely a game which will be loved by old schoolers

Yup, it has the same "FNV" feeling and thankfully there's still a big market for proper old school RPGs and not everything has to be mainstreamed and simplified.
I'm still getting nothing from this which is disappointing. I'm up to the second location you land at on the first planet now, does it pick up when you get to the others? The main issue I'm having is the locations are kind of boring. I saw the big volcano and was pretty hyped to check it out, then realized the map doesnt actually go that far and it's kind made me wonder if it's all just very typical buildings for the most part.
My first impressions after an hour is that the combat feels leagues better than anything in Fallout, the dialogue is well written and feels natural, and the quests are interesting so far. It's weird how they make this atmosphere of not really trusting what anybody has to say since you think they all have ulterior motives.
