[Feedback] New Singleplayer starter quest is very good

[Marcus Brutus]

I will try that.

I actually wandered around a bit before hitting tab.  The message had appeared a little bit before.

You all are probably quite good at combat, so let me throw in that I like the fact that the initial quest is *quite* merciful.  I lost three or four times (yes I'm that bad) and was still able to eventually succeed in the quest.  This is a *very* good thing in an introductory quest.

It was decent, I'd like if there was a way to retroactively fix tha bug though, see, my 200 day+ save game is working now,  the incompatibility bug seems gone, however there's a snag in that I can't talk to most npcs because I only get that "I'm leaving the town soon" thing. I really would like if there was a way for them to retroactively fix that bug so my old save game could be used again, it was a pretty long game and enjoyable, yet not being able to talk to lords or anyone apart from my minister and companions is a giant snag.

I'm usually pretty decent in combat, but just started up a new game and had a funny incident with the very first bandit that attacks you in the streets - his Jarid headshot me at the same time my Crossbow Bolt headshot him. I've had that happen in multiplayer several times, but this is the first time in single player

My game keeps freezing up when I try to leave the merchant of praven's home, not on any of the others I have tried.

Odd, it worked fine for me.

I just finished this introduction. Was real fun although I was a bit too enthusiastic about finishing it and I got knocked down in the last part. Still won though.

It's definitely a good little quest, though admittedly a bit rough. There was one instance where talking to the merchant yielded the generic hostile encounter dialogue - can't remember the exact wording, but I believe it's the first line that steppe bandits (for instance) deliver. I'll try to recreate the situation this evening to file a proper report.

I agree about the weird/random spawn locations at the kidnappers' hideout - killing bandits is fun, but running back and forth across the entire map to do it.. isn't.

 

[Yoshi Murasaki]

Starter quest chain is great but -

It would be cool if final merchant dialogue isn't generic for all factions. Or, that when merchant insults my king Graveth, I can challenge him on a duel or something.

(As you can see, these quests obviously have immersion   )

I thought it was shame that there wasn't the option of recruiting the merchant.... still I enjoyed the  quest nonetheless

 

[Diavolo]

I really enjoy the starter quest, both the first time I did it and later. I also like that its optional to keep doing the quest. However, it would have been great if there was a longer quest line that one could follow if one wanted to. Would have made the game more interesting in the time before one is strong enugh to become a vassal or mercenary for a king.
