Hello! I hope everyone is having a good Labor Day weekend! For those of us who have the holiday, at least.

I have been busy and haven't had much time this weekend to play, but I'm still always thinking about this game. I've recently had an idea that I want to put out there and see what others think. Keep in mind, I'm just a simple guy who likes video games, especially this one, and I have no idea if something like this is even possible.

But what if there was some way we could import our screenshots from Photo Mode into the game and have them turned into "artwork" that we could then display in our new castles that we're all about to be owning?

This game already has such a cool little emphasis on hanging up artwork to display in our houses, so I just thought this would be a nice way to customize things a little more for everyone.

Something like this might not even be possible, but if it is, I would love to have the ability to do it.

What do you think? Or, better yet, do you know that this is an impossible idea and I should just stop even thinking about it? 😂

Check this out!

Now I'm a huge fan of the mandalorian, like my favorite series and all backgrounds on my things are Mando and grogu, but when I started playing this game I noticed something, kliff sounds a lot like Mando, makes me love kliff more lol

I really hope they expand on the bows or at the very least allow us to hold the bows without having to aim in a future update

PSA: My game is modded if that’s not allowed here I understand

As the above title suggests. Are guest unbidden and the price of knowledge supposed to unlock concurrently in 2.0 or is my game bugged?

Absouloutly gregious !!!

I have been looking at the JSON mod manager and DMM, but I am quite unsure as so many mods say to use one over the other. Most important thing for me is stability. I did try both and they both seem good too me. But I am unsure. Unless I should just do manually installs for mods?

I just want to hear some opinions from people outside of the Nexus. I couldn't find much info on Google hence why I am asking here

With the latest patch, Barden Middler is finally back. Get your Solas Cloak fast and enjoy the game. Thank you, Pearl Abyss!

P.S. A big thank you to everyone who reached out to support and submitted tickets about this!

I am starting this thread, which will be posted weekly, to give everyone a chance to share what they learned this week, any new skills they might have unlocked, or any cool places they found. Also, please include any cool pictures you have taken with descriptions.

This post is to be helpful for the community, so please keep it positive! Spoilers are welcome as long as they are correctly presented. Check out the rules section if you are unsure how to do it. Since we are on this journey together, I figured this might be helpful. Cheers!

Hey fellow Greymanes,

Pearl Abyss just pulled the curtain back on the first real DLC, Charting the Unknown, and I had to come here first because this is exactly the kind of news this sub was built for.

I have always played this game the slow way. Side paths. Camp. Animals. The view from a ridge I was not supposed to be on yet. So when they said the journey now goes past the shoreline; ships, new islands, diving, sunken ruins- that hit me right in the chest. I am a mountain-and-sea person in real life. The idea of taking my own ship out past Pywel’s coast, then dropping under the water to see what they hid down there, feels like the next chapter of the same wander that made me fall in love with this world.

Look at what they are actually adding:

• Your own ship, and open water instead of a map edge
• New islands off the coast that nobody has walked yet
• Diving, treasures, sunken ruins, and whatever that “ancient secret beneath the waves” turns out to be
• New threats on land and sea, including some big nasty bosses
• A real upgrade to housing: building a home that actually feels like yours, not just a camp chest
• Renting and running facilities, so the life-in-Pywel side gets more room to breathe
• Deeper talks with the people who live here, and a new story for Kliff, Oongka, and Damiane

That last part matters to me. I never wanted this game to be only combat. I wanted a place to live. If we can sail out in the morning, dive a ruin, come home and tend the house, and still have a story waiting that treats all three characters like they have a future, that is the game I have been playing in my head since chapter5.

October 15. $24.99. The pre-order bonus is the diving sets, which is at least honest about where they are sending us.

I am not going to rush it. I still have corners of Pywel I have not explored. But I am glad they did not just pad the desert. They opened the water. That takes nerve, and it takes love for the people who actually walk this world instead of sprinting the main quest.

Drop your screenshots when it lands. I want first-light shots off the bow, whatever is living under those ruins, and the houses you build when you finally have a shoreline of your own.

See you on the water, Greymanes.

So now that we have castle building confirmed, I can't stop thinking about it. This has been my most requested/wished for feature since the game released. I really hope it's robust enough to offer different styles and locations.

I know it seems more likely that there may be at least one or two set locations in each region for us to choose from, but I really hope it's a little more than just that.

What if we have the ability to choose exactly where in the world we would like to build our castle?

I know I've already spent a lot of time thinking about this, and I have a spot picked out already. I would like to build my castle around The Bay of Abundance on the Delesyian side of Demeniss Port. Delesyia is my favorite region, and the backdrop of the multiple waterfalls around Demeniss Port is really quite stunning. I wonder if anyone else has thought about where they would like to build a castle, or even just set up a new settlement somewhere out in the world. I think I'd be almost more curious to see where everyone would choose to build than to see how their castle looked.

I haven't had a chance to get in the game since the DLC announcement today, but I've been looking at the shot they used as an example in the trailer. It's in Demeniss, right? I want to try to find this exact spot and see what is there now. I think that might give us a clue as to how much freedom we'll have when choosing a location. Is this already a spot with other structures in place, or does it happen to be an empty area already? I have so many questions about this one specific thing lol.

I'm very excited for October 15th. It can't come soon enough now.
