I've been playing only RPGs the past few months with BG3 and Starfield, so I'm not in a rush to play Phantom Liberty right away. Looking forward to trying the free 2.0 patch today and will probably do a vanilla playthrough before I think about getting the expansion.
Either way, looking forward to PC coverage coming out.
CDPR said it's best to start a new game with the expansion.
I think they were specifically referring to the "2.0" because it entirely overhauls the systems. They suggest restarting so your progression feels natural and you can decide how to allocate skills as you learn them.
I didn't see anything saying the actual expansion benefitted from starting over. I was under the impression that it's a mid/late game area/missions.
im going to respec a saved game a few times just to see how some of the abilities function. like air jump. then use that to plan out a build and then restart
How are you enjoying Starfield so far? I somehow managed to play for over 30 hours before I realized that the story isn't very engaging and that I'm not having any fun. The only entertainment I'm getting is from looting a bunch of junk I'll never use, but I can do that in literally any Bethesda game. Just curious what you think.
no who you were asking but I don't want to progress from where Im at without making a based and the base construction thing sorta deflates my enthusiasm to play.
It's a Bethesda game through and through. You probably know that already if you've checked out the reviews, but if you liked Skyrim or FO4, and you can stomach the loadscreens, you know what you're getting. Personally, I hoped for more but even what's delivered has been worth it for me. The main story drags a bit in the collection of the artifacts, but seems to be picking up. Outside of that, there's plenty of entertaining distractions.
