This gives anyone going into the game for about 3 days alone to chat and stuff like elden ring where we did as we got along then the admin can delete it.

Now as I have said some security breach or what have you has leaked the game early to unknown public regular normies. There are spoilers for anything and everything. I myself have seen the first hour in full and then cut off the stream . Id rather ask what you'd guys wanna ask about rather then just post pre launch details altogher.

I don't really want any story beats, so let's see...

1. In character creation, are there any stats/attributes, or is it purely cosmetic?
2. Does house placement appear to have any early game story/quest effects?
3. How do the finalized animations look, particularly in regards to dialogue? In early videos, movement looked good, but zoomed in dialogue didn't look super polished from a facial expression standpoint.
4. How does the voice acting sound thus far?

I'll probably come up with more later, but feel free to fill in any details that would fall within that kind of question type.

Do consider when answering the hour I watched includes about 30 min of cutscenes all of which run at the start for the most part (with some being interactive, think young Jinn walking to his dads pyre in Ghost but much better done here)

The initial aspect of your character can just be ported in if you linked it like we did, or you can opt for a way way way more robust physical character creator than that bush league and pottermore but there wasnt anything like Dark Souls with stats or allocating them but this could come later again the hour didnt seem long. I never saw a mention of any "stats" like raw numbers or indications this will be a numbers based combat system

2) None were given or shown for the hour but there's definite narrative set up in how well this is put together. I truly am blown away with what I have scene and the quick hook and narrative dig they get into you and it truly looks like the first game to decide to use the full power of the PS5. So while the answer is no, without any narrative comments, they will come
3) It is honestly the most polished game launch for ps5 I have experienced and its not even remotely close. It is in it's on whatever is above stratosphere. Only noticed on bug with a very minor glitch in the MC voice but id guess thats the unexpected small early access patchs fix goal
4) 10/10 but again only an hour. Can they carry a 150 hour game? Idk but I wouldnt doubt it

Almost a day. From what I’ve seen and dappled around with people who were lucky enough to have access I believe this game will blow people away. The Witcher comparison is often said but it’s really odd it both is and totally isn’t true

One thing is for sure: The performance is stellar and top notch across the spectrum day 1. It fully embraces the power of next gen consoles. I fail to see how this game could run in last gen or worse a switch

Insofar as customization and play style:

-Yes there are skill trees you spec points into
- No you can’t change it once a point is in (no confirmation if this is just on highest difficulty)
- There are 5 skill trees I can list them if you want and yes, the internet being itself has already made a meta
- It’s unclear from as far I dated venture if you can fill all trees in one play through

Yeah, go for it. I don't really consider that a "spoiler" in the traditional sense.

Yeah I want all the “mechanical” spoilers
Just not story or missions/characters

Post the meta too.

I suck at the internet and can’t find this stuff

I hadn't noticed, but now that you pointed it out, I feel unsafe having my first post on this thread being (as of this moment) the literal only post to get so much as a single upvote

Same. Don't want story beats, but anything I can learn via an in game menu? I'm about it.

The Five trees were shown with the titles

Dark Arts
General Spells (I think this leans a bit defensively too)
Core Tree (so think the branch in W3 that had basically full of did passives or adjuncts to a play style)
Stealth Tree
Room of requirement tree (no info whatsoever on this)

The already supposed “meta” if there can be one involve basically Dark arts spells are the strongest damage but balanced by the longest cooldowns so spec into some defense crowd control and passive to mitigate

Some serial downvoters are so mad for one reasons or another; too poor to get a console, too stupid to think JK bad, etc and are basically so defeated a meaningless red arrow is all they have

If I had to guess, the Room of Requirement tree is likely hard locked to certain main story milestones.

I agree. So from all I’ve seen and gathered I see nothing that shows this game will be about gear stats or wand powers all about how your built and how your opponent is and your own skill

There’s pretty deep in depth wand customization, brooms the same. I’m sure I haven’t even scratched the surface.

I did tune in a bit ago some guy had made the arena already to see about it

Read through the achievements if you’re on ps5. Josh I know you’re not want me to list ya some?

They’re all basic bronze and silver level showing now nothing at all spoilering but insight into what you’ll be doing.

One is benign like”kill 50 enemies” but there are a quite a few tantalizingly interesting ones

You’re putting in the Lord’s work. I’m all about skill tree stuff. Just don’t want to read any story spoilers.
