![]() You can find Sword Coast Legends on Steam. However, if you’re looking for something more in-depth, go get Pillars. I’m finding it much more accessible than Pillars, and I’m enjoying it much more. Not incredible, but worth picking up if you’re an RPG fan like me. Final thoughts: It’s actually not bad, not bad at all. I can’t test if the release version has fixed it, as there’s no way to logout. ![]() ![]() Possible the actual launch version might fix it? Keep us posted! Not sure we've seen that with other Linux users at all but I'll pass it along. I asked about it on the forum, and the reply was this: QuoteThat is some crap. This annoyed me somewhat, as I wasn’t aware I needed to register to play even the single player portion of the game. IssuesĬurrently the Create account button doesn’t work on Linux (at least it does nothing on my Ubuntu install), so you may need to create an account here. It does seem like it could do with some optimizations, as I’ve seen posts from Windows users saying it performs badly for them too, so it’s not specifically an issue with the Linux version. It does still remain smooth, and it is playable, but I can imagine people with less expensive cards struggling a bit. If I turn it up another notch to the Best setting, I get a big performance drop to 30-50FPS. Performance seems to be satisfactory on high settings, as i'm getting between 50-60FPS on my 970, so while it’s not amazing, it’s playable. Luckily the developers are responsive and may put in a right click to move option. I’ve seen other people complain about it too, and it does get annoying. Honestly, I would much prefer it if they did it every x amount of movement clicks, as to avoid becoming annoyingly repetitive like it is right now.Īnother gameplay annoyance is most things are done with left click, so if you miss click during combat prepare to have your character run around. One thing that is currently getting a little annoying, is that every single movement click has a character voice over. It’s one thing that annoys me about other games, so I’m actually quite happy with that here. This removes a lot of micromanagement I’ve seen in other RPG games, and helps make it a little more accessible. One thing I do like, is that your inventory is shared across the characters. It’s odd they didn’t put any indicator on the screen to tell you, so I found this out by chance. I can’t quite put my finger on why it’s making me feel that way.ĭuring the character’s chatting it doesn’t actually say anything about skipping, but you are able to skip dialogue by pressing the spacebar. Even though it has the pause option, it seems quite fast paced when you put it next to Pillars. It doesn’t feel as unforgiving as Pillars of Eternity, as I’m finding the combat to be much more manageable. It feels very much like Baldur’s Gate, and it has real time with pause combat which is nice. ![]() I decided to level up my archer’s stealth as much as possible, as I like the idea of sneaking up on someone with my bow and arrow. Honestly I found this section quite confusing.Ĭhoosing abilities was much nicer, with a wide range of different things to choose. I also found it quite weird picking your weapon and armour at the start, it was interesting to be able to do it, but there was no explanation of what would be best for your character. The amount of options for hair colour and style seem to be really rather limited. I went into it expecting to spend quite a while creating my character, but the first thing I noticed was the big lack of options for customizing your character. It’s especially awkward when the camera zooms in to show an enemy running into the area, as their running animation seems weirdly sluggish. The only graphical part that is a let-down are the character models and running animations, as they look a little awkward. It’s great that we have so many games, but not a lot look as good as Sword Coast Legends. The game world is actually quite beautiful and bright, which makes it quite easy on the eyes and I imagine a lot of people will be able to get into it. It’s certainly not as in-depth as it could be with any part of it, but with that said I’m personally finding it enjoyable for the most part. It has at time of writing gained a lot of mixed reviews, and I understand why some people aren’t happy with it. I played it during the Head Start Access too. Note: If you have me on Steam, ignore the time it says I've played. We don’t have too many high quality RPG titles, and I was excited to finally give Sword Coast Legends a proper try. ![]()
