Good to hear. Have you unlocked the glider? It's cool they added something like that in this game set in the mid 1800s.

Yeah. You get it pretty early on. It’s a fun little thing to use. The game is loot city though. I’m spending so much time selling and changing my gear. It’s actually crazy how much loot there is.

This is one thing that's really putting me off. I hate loot systems. They keep me stuck in menus organising gear and comparing stats and usually the wealth of weapons doesn't lead to interesting combat variations. The ROR one looks particularly bothersome. Just give me 10 or 20 weapons that have had a lot of design work go into them and have been effectively balanced.

Anyway, the rest of this game looks great but I still struggle to spend £70 on pretty much any game so I'll wait for a sale.

It’s not bad actually. Just sell 98% of it or break it down for materials. I found two weapons I like and have stuck with them. It’s not time consuming at all, the loot.

Once you get your Longhouse the loot is not overwhelming at all.

The first 3ish hours I was always going in the menu and swapping.

Once you can transmog (Longhouse) it’s no thang. I just check once every few missions to make sure I have the best stuff equipped.

One of the treasure chests in the second map is glitched for me. It’s open but I never actually opened it. My completion for area 2 is at 99%. That is going to bother me so much.
