Grim Misadventure #79: Beyond Darkvale

I second that. There are probably two or three games so far in my life that I’ve been so pleased with that I was happy for the money spent.

Just wait when we get Dragonkin and imp devils alongside the yeti’s :open_mouth:

I dunno…looks kinda samey to me.

Quote what my thought exactly! I shudder to think if GD haven’t been in early access to year ago and only wait to be release end of this year. Oh the horror. I guess i am constipated.:smiley:

Couldn’t be more true for me. I hope GD get at least something like Homeworld Remastered. :smiley:

Don’t know yet, but I’m devoted to finding out!

The new environments look fantastic, and Crate continue to surpass all expectations.

For my part I suspect the 3 rifts are for the Alpine Pass, Fort Ikon and the Necropolis, which pretty much covers what the devs have said about Act 4 storyline.

Funny how one of the first areas we ever got a glimpse of (Necropolis) will be the last we get to experience. Can’t wait!

Trees/rocks/architecture could use some snow texture to make it blend in more with the snowy ground. Hopefully we’ll be getting some nice snowy weather effects to match the look.

Also if any of the crypts are in locations that are snowy outside it would be neat to have a few holes in the ceiling where snow could then be added as a ground texture or particle effect.

Not really, not to that grand of a scale.

That first screen shot is amazing.

Hm, not bad…Not bad at all! :smiley:

Though I’m going to be picky and say I would really love to see taller/bigger trees…Just to have that feeling of penetrating some mountainous deep cursed woods, full of dangers and forbidden secrets :smiley:

Also, what ended up happening with that region at the south of Devil’s Crossing? Is it kept for an expansion?

I wonder if we’ll ever get to meet the Aetherial that possessed our character.

What an interesting meeting that would be.

whoa, dude. that never even occured to me.

O_o

not to forget the telepath… more sides to aetherials and even ch’tonians/cultists and their motivations would seriously be brilliant.

Groovy. I hope it proves more stable for us that are experiencing constant CTD. I know it’s not everyone and I wish I could say the same but b27 has killed my playtime due to it. Keep the faith Kymon’s Chosen! Yeah, I got brainwashed for the fire damage…

Awesome! Then the aetherial would try to possess us again but our char would somehow overwhelm him and we get an insane buff like 1000% total dmg to send whatever the chtonian crap the cultists summon back to the void :stuck_out_tongue:

awesome! is Incredible.

B28 = Act 4 + new Devotion System + Legendary Items? :stuck_out_tongue:

Man you are guys are out doing yourself! Looking good!

I want it now damnit :stuck_out_tongue:

Either our player character was possessed by a low level peon aetherial or our character is seriously bad a$$ to have kicked its butt. There’s a lot of potential for backstory there as anyone we’ve met possessed by a higher level aetherial has been someone renowned in the world. However, no one seems familiar with our character. Is the player from a different land? Why did they go to Devil’s Crossing? Were they undead or possessed alive? If dead why are they alive now? If possessed was it willingly or not? How did they become un-possessed?

If some of these questions are not resolved now that they’ve been raised I might just go a little bonkers.

P.S. Thanks for an awesome game!

P.P.S. Please answer some of these questions in the final act of the game …

… or else …

… um, yeah. I’ve got nothing.

you did not kick its butt, it voluntarily left

interesting point

Were they undead or possessed alive? If dead why are they alive now?

alive, as that answers why you are alive now :wink:

If possessed was it willingly or not?

we do not know, but I’d go with unwillingly

How did they become un-possessed?

right at the beginning of the game. You get hanged, the Aetherial leaves your body because of that, then they cut you down before you die (as there no longer is a reason to kill you, now that you are no longer possessed)
