Encased - Content Patch 4
- Thread starter HiddenX
- Start date
It's a big update (9.4 GB), probably the last one before their final release.
Many improvements, additions and fixes, but the AI got my attention:
EDIT - Saved games seem incompatible!

Of course, it needs to update first, before trying all that

This is shaping up to be a first class RPG. I'll wait for release and maybe a few post release patches at that.

Nice. Hopefully, this will be ready just in time for when I finish Wasteland 3. After Fallout 4, Atom RPG, Wasteland 3, and this, I'm really having a post-apoc year. So fitting with the year we are having.

they should release the full game and put voice acting in a dlc, no need to wait a year for some voices
Yes, honestly it's very good as it is, without voice. But perhaps because we're used to that.
If they have an opportunity to add it, it's a sensible decision, most games have it now, and I'm not sure the general gaming audience is willing to digest a lot of text without spoken dialogs. Especially on console. It's pure speculation, but it may well be a condition of the new partnership, which allows them to save time in other areas.
Besides, they aren't finished and would have needed extra time anyway, even without spoken dialogs.

Hmm didn't they announce a new publisher and that the game will now need more time to implement voices, and other improvements? So I doubt it's near a final release.
They say it's the last pre-release patch, but we all know everything may always change
Nah it's Early Access it turns every developer into a Politician.:lol:They say it's the last pre-release patch, but we all know everything may always change
Double speak and over promise it always works.
Yeah, you can already tell, wasn't the 3rd patch supposed to be the last? And then there's the unmistakable clues like "We are very close to the end of development", "Just a little more and the full version of the game will appear on Steam, GOG and consoles", and most of all, "Final release date will be announced a bit later"Nah it's Early Access it turns every developer into a Politician.:lol:

Just kidding though, I could be wrong but I've got a good feeling about this one
I'm considering buying either this game or "Disco Elysium" in the christmas-sale. This one is attractively cheap but I'm not sure if it's close enough to release to be ready for a full playthrough.
Was first considering "Cyberpunk 2077" but after further consideration, I think i I'll wait for patches as well as for the first dlc to arrive before I buy.

They're releasing a hotfix for a few issues related to this big update

Patch 4 - Hotfix 1 (v0.20.1226.1230)
I haven't played Disco Elysium very long, it's really a weird game but it seems interesting enough. There's a big update in March with spoken dialogs (Final Cut edition, free update for all owners).
Encased doesn't have the whole content yet, only prologue and act I, there will be act II & III and an epilogue too. We should expect to restart from scratch when the final release hits our doors, so that could be a factor. For now, there's enough for 10-20 hours at least, depending on how you play, I'm more on the 20+ side there, and they say 40+ with the full game. It's quite enjoyable to replay it with different builds, too.

Checked this out finally. Very nice! I'll write them to add an option to increase font size, since they already increasing UI size. Super smooth UI, I like it. Inventory icons are amazingly big. All it needs is a bigger popup font size, so I'll get an inclination to actually read any ingame text after that.

Thanks!
I'm leaning towards "Elysium" mostly due to wanting to play the game through from beginning to end, once I start playing. Though I think I'll be picking up "Encased" as well, just to have it ready once act "II&III&Epilogue" become available.
Sounds like a good decision. It's finished, and you can easily replay it when they release spoken dialogs later, it's not too long and I suppose it's interesting enough to replay it with different paths.Thanks!

I'm curious about Disco Elysium too, but I really need to finish at least another game first. Let us know what you think when you're far enough
I'm not a big fan of the font eitherChecked this out finally. Very nice! I'll write them to add an option to increase font size, since they already increasing UI size. Super smooth UI, I like it. Inventory icons are amazingly big. All it needs is a bigger popup font size, so I'll get an inclination to actually read any ingame text after that.
But that's OK for now, hopefully they'll add those options. You can suggest that from within the game, or in the Steam forums, those guys are very responsive over there.
Another hotfix today, a little 22 MB download only. They are relentless
