Lack of tutorials, a very mediocre opening that barely explains who I am and why I should care, and weird graphic shit/poor optimization.

This feels like a chore and I'm not even an hour in

I found the beginning in the port town dull as hell.

People say it really starts when you get to the new land.

I havent picked it back up tbh.

I dug it but never as much as I felt I should've been. Had to install around ten mods because of all the little things that eventually pile up to feel really annoying.

Still enjoyed it overall.

Greedfall is basically an early 2000s Bioware game, including having a super dull start in boring opening area.

The opening combat tutorial made the combat and camera seem so shitty that I just quit playing as soon as it finished.

It's so janky and unintuitive

I could almost stick it out if the story and characters were halfway engaging or intriguing but no

Did...Did we play the same game?

Greedfall's prologue is a tutorial followed by a long sequence explaining who you are, who every faction is, why what's going on matters and why specifically your character cares.

From a fundamental storytelling perspective it's one of the strongest parts of the game...

It's like playing God of War 2 and complaining that there isn't enough hitting things in it.

I actually sorta agree with UR here. Like I still agree the game is super slow to start but the quests literally are designed to make you talk to each major faction so you know who they are and what they are about.

I don't think I would've been able to get through it unmodded tbh.
