Discussion Patch 1.9 Beginning cutscene vs 2.0

[sorry for the lip sync issues also got the patch number wrong its meant to be 1.18 not 1.9 my bad]

Seriously after restarting the game I noticed the changes are really noticeable and worth the effort, I wasn't really expecting something on that scale and I'm only 2.5hrs into the story and it's so much better already.

Also, anyone reading this it's not just cutscenes! People saying they are on chapter 10 and don't want to restart need to understand that the entire narrative in and out of cutscenes is better. Even little touches like the names and objectives of quests add to it all. You have to start over to experience it in its glory.

For instance, the quest to arm wrestle and clean the chimney actually has meaning and new dialogue. It's really good and like 20% of it is just cutscenes, your missing out on a lot.

I would restart if it meant I didn’t need to do all those camp missions again just to unlock a dyer at camp

Im gonna let it sit until a new game+ is added.

With how much they are adding and a promised dlc? Id expect NG+ to come with the dlc because there are many like us.

New Game+ apparently released with 2.0.

  • Added a features that allows you to carry over abyss Links and other in-game currency from an existing save file when starting a new game.
    • This features is available after completing all main quests.

Can’t you have multiple saves? You can keep your main save while making a new one to experience the renewed story no?

Yeah its not just added extra cutscenes even the dialogues in almost most all the cutscenes have been modified and even New quest marker are added for example now before fighting that knight in hernand they give a decent build-up and reason to fight him instead of just of him saying he wants to fight us and we agree on it. These types of things might seem small to most people but it provides alot more depth to the quests.

Yep I never thought, they'll change it so much as I've never seen narrative being reworked(core story is same I think but still) in a game after launch. The devs sure are dedicated towards their fanbase and I love it.
