    After you fully upgrade your sword and bow, are there further upgrades for weapons in Act 3? If not I need to switch out my charms

    Don't know if this needs spoiling but will just in case

    is the Ghost armor the last armor you get? If so I'm going to blow all of my materials on upgrading it then the rest of my armors

    you can get more depending on what side missions you do but I’d focus on upgrading Ghost

    I love how there are so many cool looks in this game. I've probably sported 4-5 different armor, headband/hat, face covering looks.

    Y’all I pretty much just started Act 1 and I think I’m going to love this game. It had been 6 days since I played the intro tutorial, so I had already forgotten the controls. Took me a minute, but I’ve done a haiku, helped some lady, climbed a shrine, etc. The climbing really reminded me of HZD, the horse riding reminded me of Witcher, and the combat is just fun while not being button mashy. I also like the limited inventory. It’s not overwhelming like Witcher.

    Same. Usually rock the ghost armor but bust out the sakai for duels

    Headband of death and usually rocking travelers attire.

    I’m a couple missions away from completing it and I’m torn between knocking it out or elongating it. The game is amazing though, beautiful graphics, and the combat is so much fun

    Completed it last night; what a great game. I have all of the exploration done, but I’m missing 34 banners, 13 records, 9 artifacts, and 7 crickets. This is my worst nightmare

    I’ve just been putting it off and basically saving it for as long as I could. Can’t game that much with the newborn anyways so just try to knock one or two things out when I get a chance.

    Now that I'm maxed out in technique I avoid almost all of those roads confrontations. I think I have one more armor to upgrade to max and those are totally upgraded so I don't really need supplies.

    I’ve been doing what I did with Witcher, which is to hit every single question mark as I go through the storyline and keep the map as clear as possible. Hopefully I’ll be overpowered as a result.

    What do you mean by easier armor loadouts? I hope the sequel has a bunch more armor sets, and maybe have different perks for each part of the body you equip things. Like you said, though, just minor complaints. I agree about the variety in kill animations, too
