  • As other folk said, definitely do get the DLCs. There’s a whole other game in there.

    It’s been a while since I last played, and this game IS a masterpiece, no doubt about that, but the one of the first sections can be rough. Iirc it’s gloomy af, there’s some hard monsters in some quests that can be demotivating and the combat/mechanics takes some getting used to which makes the previous point worse. Just know that the game opens up and there’s a whole world out there.

    There are tons of side quests which are great, so you should do those but also don’t feel like you need to do all of them. It can be easy to get side tracked and then lose steam and quit on the main story.

    Especially because like I said the DLCs are amazing. They are also quite self contained so it’s like a breath of fresh air

    Enjoy this amazing game. I’m jealous of you







  • The autocomplete is amazing

    It just takes the mental strain out of syntax and I can focus more on the logic and structure of the code

    Like you said much better for writing unit tests, but also for log messages and comments

    Even the chat is sometimes useful but not as much. I treat it as much junior engineer assistant/rubber duck. I.e. I never completely accept what it outputs and usually review everything but quite often it gives me a different idea/approach even if it doesn’t write it 100% correct the first time. Because I always review it, having it autocomplete the next line is my preferred approach so I verify each line as they come.

    Once you start to past 10/20+ lines in a row you will have a bad time.





  • That would work

    We play it on my pc which is wired directly to the tv. We use 2 XBOX controllers but PS4 ones will work just as well.

    You will probably want to have a pretty big screen because it’s almost always split screen (except in some dialogues if that other player listens to the convo). However you can always set the fonts to a bigger size which is super helpful.

    Unfortunately it’s not like DOS 2 where the split screen merges when you are close together but that’s not the end of the world. The game has turn based combat so even if you have some streaming delays it’s not a big deal.

    Your frame rate will drop a bit on Act 3 but it gets better with every patch.

    If you have any more questions let me know.





  • Yea no

    People complain because the EGS launcher is shit and not getting better in any meaningful way. Plus all the anti consumer shit that they do.

    EGS didn’t come out last year. Heck GOG galaxy is fairly decent and it’s not even required and they have a fraction of the budget. And guess what a lot of people like and support them.
