I can't decide on the reward from the holy mission quest line, and I'd like both rewards theoretically, I don't make it a habit to ask anyone for items, but I don't think I have t in me for another playthrough haha.

Thank you for your time.

I play on PS5 and I’m looking for people who are down to play like actually fucking play the game. I have the next week off and I really want to explore the world with someone and just have that co-op experience if you’re interested man fucking drop your tag in the thread and I’ll send you a friend invite or a friend request. I mean I like to have fun bullshit and I talk a lot of shit so if you’re a sensitive little bitch, probably don’t add me but if that doesn’t bother you and you like to fuck a joke around and have a good time and if you don’t some things about the game I don’t feel free to fucking reach out man oh if you don’t have a mic, please fuck off kindly now I’m just kidding, but if you don’t have a Michael, I’m really not interested in playing with you

I play on pc and would really like to find somebody who would also be willing to voice chat and coordinate and have a good amount of time on their hands. If this sounds like you, let me know.

Thank you for your time.

I am wondering what anyone has done to enhance your gauntlet builds. I like the moveset of the them but usually like to have some type of secondary way to play. Just a way to keep the gameplay entertaining for the entirety of the play through. So what ideas do you all have for enhancing gauntlet gameplan? Thanks in advanced.

Stumbled onto this binging ssssssseth's videos and oh my word what a special thing this game is

Pathologic 2 is my all time favourite game and for ages I've wanted a similarly intense and absorbing survival kinda thang and no joke when i had to press and hold to open chests in the tutorial level i instantly knew this would be amazing

the atmosphere...the vibes...the bastard giant mantis bastard lightning shrimp (bastard)...its incredible...and the sequel coming out soon too! corrr

Playing on steam - before I switched PCs I hastily backed up my saves two years ago, but now trying to use it I'm realizing it that in the process of backing up the saves I didn't save the folder with the save's name on it

Basically you know how to back it up it goes: SteamLibrary > steamapps > common > Outward > Outward_Defed > SaveGames > "your steam ID" > "Save_random series of characters" > "list of numbered folders"

Well, it seems I only copied the list of folders at the very end, is there anything I can do to figure out the name of the folder that's supposed to house the list of numbered folders or am I cooked

Hello everyone! Old player come back after years! Last time I played was befor the three brothers DLC, and now I want to catch up waiting for release of outward 2.

Right now i'm playing a build scordato and shield with rune magic, Ome of the my old build... but i'm not sure about the armor to use, last time I used the blue sand one and enchanted it, but right it feel a lot weaker, so i'm here asking for some tips about what to use,

i always prefer an all-rounder set, thats why I liked that armor, and if possible i would like some similar to it.

Thanks in avance for the suggestions

Hi all. My GF and I are starting with Outward. She likes to play a thief type character. I was thinking I might play a tank. What starting character skill trees would you recommend.

Hey so I normally play competitive games then my mate who plays rpg got me into Valheim but I normally play ps5 cause I hate sitting on my chair playing games.

So I ended up looking for games like Valheim and this game came up. Definitely not the same but similar in some aspects. Man this game got me by the balls.

I have put 50 hours in 3 weeks. I don’t normally play this much. My gf is starting to get angry at me for playing this game idc cause I never do this. At first it was shit soo hard now early game is a breeze. I’m actually 2 or 3v1 and coming out ontop with minimal damage working out what skill trees are good.

Haven’t really googled stuff except for recipes or if I want to do something but literally can’t do it. Idk why i didn’t play this game earlier was never really into rpgs, would play them for like a few hours of fun then get really bored but man such a great game. I know I got soo much to do and outward 2 comes out on pc this year fuck I feel soo lucky.

To people who haven’t played this game, get it. It’s literally the best game I have ever played. The only 3 other games that game me this feeling was jak, minecraft and counter strike.

I'm thinking of a build for a character that is centered around hex mage. So far, whenever i took hex mage, it was just an additon, not the focus of the build.

The idea started with me never having used rainbow hex, so i wanted to use that. But my issue with rainbow hex is, that it needs 6 hits (or if you are really fast 5, but i don't know if it even is possible to land 5 hits in 2 seconds) to apply. By that point, the most enemies are likely already, or at least close to, dead. Or they would be, if i had used a stronger weapon. Maybe i could use something else and just swap to the rainbow hex weapon for the few enemies that warrant it?

Also there is this whole "use jinx from a distance with a bow for larger lock on range" strategy. But since i intend to play this character in co-op, I don't want to tell my friend to sit around for me to use jinx over and over to hopefully apply a bunch of different hexes.

I was also thinking of using primal ritualist for automatic application of haunted and doom to blow up with rupture, and of course all the tankiness.

And I was thinking of what off hand weapon i could use. First I was thinking of chakrams. Or maybe a chimera or cannon pistol. When i looked at list list of pistols, it hit me: Astral Pistol. It has a 66% buildup for chill and scorched. If i load it with a shatter bullet, it also inflicts pain. If i go mercenary and blood bullet, i can "fire" the pistol 3 times without having to reload, twice is enough to apply chill and scorched. Since the drums provide doom and haunted, i have 5 hexes i can blow up with torment and rupture.
As a nice niche side bonus that will probably hardly ever come into play, but will be great when it does: this will apply burning thorugh scorched and torment, which then can be turned into holy blaze through using the drums to attack.

As a weapon I could use the Radiant Wolf Sword. Since it's all lightning damage, it would profit greatly from the doom through the drums. I could stack lightning damage bonuses on the gear to improve it. Torment and rutpure through the drum hexes would also profit from that.
And to add even more to it, if I go holy mission, I can use infuse light to add even more lightning damage to the sword. Spiritual communion boosts lightning and ethereal damage (for the drum hexes) as well as decay damage (for blood bullet).
All that lightning damage bonus will also add to the niche holy blaze scenario mentioned above.
And by using a 1 handed sword, puncture would give me access to another source of pain (for torment and rupture, it would do nothing for the sword itself though).

So i ended up with the following:

Skill Trees
Hex Mage (Rupture)
Mercenary (Blood Bullet)
Primal Ritualist (Nurturing Echoes)

Other irreversible stuff
Holy Mission (Spiritual Communion)
4 (or maybe just 3?) points of mana

Gear
Radiant Wolf Sword (Fulminaiton, pre-enchanted from a legacy chest)
Astral Pistol (Levantine Secret pre-enchanted from a legacy chest)
Tenebrous Helm (Order and Discipline)
Silver Armor (Spirit of Monsoon)
Tenebrous Boots (Flux? Speed and Efficiency?)
Light Mender's Backpack

Hotbar
Fire & Reload
Blood Bullet
Torment
Rupture
Drum
Drum 2
Blessed
Puncture (Jinx? Brace?)

There are 2 things i'd love to get a good source for, but I can't think of a way to really fit them in with the limited hotbar space: Curse and Elemental Vulnerability. Puncture is basically the only hotbar slot that is open for debate.

I have blessed on the hotbar for cooldown tracking. When i have a build that uses infusions, i like to keep the infusion up permanently. So in this case i cast blessed, and once it's off cooldown, i cast infuse light followed by blessed. repeat once blessed is off cooldown. Having blessed on the hotbar gives me an easily visible reminder when it's starting to be time to repeat this cycle.

I could put the astral pistol on that last hotbar slot and then manually equip a chimera pistol before the fight to apply elemental vulnerability and then swap to the astral pistol. I tried something like that once, but found it way too annoying and fiddly and ended up booting another skill off the hotbar so i could have the chimera pistol on the hotbar as well.

A similar issue is with throwing the drums off the hotbar. It is possible, but it makes deploying the drums much more annyoing, and nigh impossible if you get attacked by surcprise (putting down the drums can be problematic enough as is in those scenarios. The co-op partner can help though).

Jinx feels too random. But i might need to give it a try.

Curse Hex could be an option. But puncture will probably deal way more damage than i could expect from curse.
Radiant wolf sword with fulmination and infuse light should deal 54.75 damage. I should have 80% lightning damage bonus (25 armor, 10 helm, 5 boots, 10 spiritual communion, 10 backpack, 20 blessed), which means 98.55 damage per swing with the sword. so puncture will deal 197.1 damage before resistance. And that resistance is lowered by 25% through the drums. Curse hex will have a very hard time to catch up with that, even considering the extra damage blood bullet will do and that i have a 50% damage bonus on decay (and torment/rupture will make use of that bonus).

Sooo... Thoughts? Ideas? Improvements? Oversights?

A weird realiziation i just had: discipline is almost completely useless for this build. The only thing i'd get from it is an extra 7.5 damage when using rupture in case pain is applied (doesn't even work for torment, since that pain causes ethereal damage). And that's before generally high physical resistances.

So, I know this is a strange ask. Basically I have the game on Steam and have played this game from TTB DLC times. Still play it even nowadays and enjoy it a lot.
While going through this subreddit I see old screenshots where lot of porcelain weapons had higher elemental damage.
This plus the curiosity of what else was different during release, makes me wonder if it is possible to play the day 1 release build somehow.
Is there any way to do so?
