Yet another old game released by GoG that won't even launch unless you run it as administrator, change various compatibility settings, change dozens of system settings, download a specific mod, reinstall or uninstall your codecs, graphics drivers, reinstall Windows, do a backflip and run in circles for 3 hours straight. Sorry but if I payed for a game than I expect it to run without any problems, is that too much to ask? Or maybe at least give me a straightforward fix for my issue instead of generic half-a***ed "fixes" I mentioned above. It's probably waaay easier to just emulate this game on a PS1 emulator (and for FREE!) than spend hours to find a very specific fix for a game you legaly bought here smfh.
I have over 200 hours in the base version of the game. Outward doesn't hold your hand and that's one of the best part about it. Very few quest. This game is more about mystery and exploration. Finding items, selling loot, getting better equipment and skills. No quest markers, you have to pay attention to your surroundings otherwise you'll get lost. You have to plan, gather resources (potions, food, drinks) before you go on a expedition. In Outward you're constantly learning something new. Try it if you like hardcore rpgs (also, the music is simply amazing).
The game is quite boring tbh. Exploring the forest itself is slow and tedious (dungeons are much better though) I don't usually complain about the lack of inventory space in rpgs but this game really annoyed me with constant item menagement. The game is in early access so you don't have access to half of your perks and there's only one map to explore. I recommend waiting for more updates because there's a potential in this game.
