This game is definitely French/10

There's going to be an uncomfortable amount of CP bait made about the red head
But shes 23, it says it right at the start…

She is also my strongest character by far. Pretty sure I will get more than 3 characters eventually but Maelle does stupid damage and for some reason has the most HP despite being a lower level and no points into it.

Was there a plot hole with the ages? Said she had 8 years left. But she should grow older as the counter goes down so basically 4 years?

Nothing important but my brain started sondering about it.

Ah that makes sense, so she is what 16? Still looks twelve. Gave her that dumb Gestalt hair and the classic french outfit, looks more like a dumb kid.

looking like my GoTY already, just need to figure out how to get Lune to combo better. More AP!

I'm miserably bad at the parries. Sometimes the mobs make a woosh noise just before attacking, that sometimes helps. But it's not a 'parry just before contact', you have to do it earlier. Loving it so far, it's a breath of fresh air. PS5 Pro version, I was too busy to camp out a new video card.

Wow I also didn't know Andy Serkis was a voice actor in this.

Yea I think Andy Serkis is the old guy you meet at the beach at start of the expedition, have not heard him talk but I think I saw some picture of it.

Is it possible to brick you character or are re-specs plentiful? I think I have 2 re-spec items after 4 hours.

Goddamn front middle girl on the left, I'm such a stupid male sucker for tight fitting clothes showing off round hips o_O Everyone looks like they enjoy what they do and are PROUD of it.

There's also Gustave. He might look like Robert Pattison, but the voice is actually Charlie Cox (Daredevil).

And a few of the VAs from BG3 as well.

Also don't miss that you can press Left Stick in the Picto menu to assign the "passives" you have unlocked, it's party wide and I had lots of unspent points there for all characters. It feels a bit hidden accessing that menu.

Deserves GOTY 100%.

I have made peace with QTE using the auto on offense and I changed my mind on the defensive portion since being good means clobbering shit you shouldn't be fighting yet.

There are so many fun things to see/find and the assorted NPCs are great (idk if doing other things in the world triggers some of them but get used to talking to them 2-3x as they've given other dialogue or items to me from doing so). Lots of cool abilities and things to make builds with. World is beautiful though it is easy to get turned around if you aren't paying attention. Game has run well, but I did have 1 crash while loading into the overworld.

Is it worth fighting the friendly white monsters that ask for an item? The first one I gave his item then killed him but not sure if it's needed?
