What about "household" or "luxury" items? Can you decorate your castle?

Or is that just to be sold?

Reminds me of Drakensang 2. Really ancient coins sell for a very high price there.

Me, I'm still waiting.

Good tip. I had sold some of these assuming they were vendor trash.

I'm curious about the Kingdom part. Was never interested in base building, I don't know why people like it, I hate when devs use their time for base building development… and in MP games I just attack them and don't build myself . Well, e.g. in ArmA Dayz mod era.

The startup behaviour is horrible. E.g., here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZbv8aNAD08 - same slow start on my side, almost 2 minutes. It feels wrong, there is something wrong, I hope they manage to tame Unity. It's not doing much, but occupies one core, and it is not a disk load issue.

The Kingdom stuff is excellent, IMO. It makes you feel like a true baron of your land. Building a settlement is just a smaller part of it, the real treat is taking on tasks appointed by advisors, or meeting with folks to discuss their issues, signing possible treaties or deals, conquering or seizing new lands and then adventuring to solve new problems that arise. It's great fun IMO, and keeps things interesting and fresh.

And it's more about keeping your barony safe and the people happy than simple base building. Building takes just a few minutes to do but then you're off to adventure and tackle new issues that arise.

Has been reported a few times. IDK if it helps to set keys in Registry, they save their settings in hkcu\software\owlcat… but in a strange way.

There is an easy way to not sell them by mistake. Shop UI has a button that says Offer. When you click it, game transfers all safe to sell items from your inventory to trader Sell tab. I usually choose which armor, weapons and magic stuff to sell and then click offer so the rest of the trash is also transferred.

Wow. If that works it's the closest I've heard anyone coming to an actual awesome button. Wish I had that in PoE2 as well.

WL2 had the "junk" attribute to items which partly did the same thing. It's a worthwhile feature to have the option to mark anything you don't want as trash as well.

Well several games have the ability to mark things as trash but that doesn't help when it is unknown if it is trash Of course one could argue that lack of knowing is part of the game.

Uhm… wow. So that's what that thingy does.

O_o

I probably skipped the tutorial that informed me about this?

PS:
At this point, I doubt the "offer" button is really safe. It includes skins, diamonds and other stuff that "are of interest to a collector" or "to a craftsman". So… I kinda suspect those need to be kept.

How about all games have a single huge lootbox you pay for up front that contains all the options, items, skins, unlocks etc? I'd pay for that!!

Ouch PC Gamer reviewed the game and gave it a 69/100.

There’s a lot to like in Kingmaker, and it’s clear the dev has a passion for this classic era of PC role-playing—which, in the case of its often absurd level of difficulty, isn’t always a good thing. But it hasn’t grabbed me as firmly as those games, or recent examples of the genre’s resurgence such as Divinity: Original Sin or Pillars of Eternity. The story, visual design, and setting offer little I haven’t seen in a dozen other fantasy games, and I wasn’t as beguiled by it as much as I’d hoped. Once upon a time a good CRPG was hard to find, but now we’re slightly spoiled for choice and Kingmaker doesn’t quite stack up with the best, even if it does get a lot right and throws a few neat new ideas into the mix.

I was going to start playing this in a few days, but I might actually wait for a patch or two.

When pcderper says something like this
Odyssey is quickly becoming one of the best RPGs I've played since The Witcher 3.

Probably another noob that went vs a swarm with a sword. That didn't help people in old Mummy movie and it does not help in pathfinder.
