The game is quite lovely... but I wonder if/when they'll release either (A) a JP voices patch, since the English voices are ehh... not so good.... and/or (B) some sort of optional music addon? Maybe it's the composer critic in me talking. I love the music but it's so sparse. Skyrim showed that you can have awesome ambient music without beating people over the head with it. Would love to hear more of that here, but maybe I'm a bit too early in (6 hrs?)
You can actually get JP voices, apparently, or so some fellow or another seemed to think when I was watching some footage. Something about setting the switch itself to japan.

... though a quick check shows that changes everything to japanese, not just the voices. Looks like there's a workaround with the Wii U version if you have some sort of setup or another, though. Search for undub botw. 'Course, now that I actually look at it, it seems japanese voices specifically aren't available yet, though they probably will be in the future. Also looks like the process is a bit clumsy but *shrugs*

At least from what I've seen -- I'm not playing the game (no console, not nearly enough spare dosh to get it), but I've probably watched, or at least heard, over 48 hours of gameplay footage at this point -- though, the music is indeed sparse but there's also a surprising amount of it. Game's just so bloody huge you can go a while without running into something. I'd also guess that's fairly intentional, too, to some degree... there's a number of sound and music cues that are pretty emphasized. You can hear an example at the gerudo tower, heh. Always love me some accordion.

Jeez, been a while since someone posted in here. Anyway, bump/necro for the release of a new version, 1.5.0. Highlights include a new donator class, stone wardens opening to everyone, complete reworks for archers and rogues, and a passel of other junk. Some pretty neat stuff, fairly long period since the last update, so on, so forth. Good to see 1.5.0 coming out of testing.

Ah, yeah, abyssia will probably have decent luck with cooking them. Raise up the temp, let em soak those heat differential encumbrance penalties. Add on whatever other fatigue you can and watch as they fall over when basically anything pokes 'em.

Though yeah, magic definitely works. Fireballs everywhere.

Anything that does fatigue? Or armor piercing/ignoring damage en masse. They're still humans, which means they're squishy if you can get through or bypass the armor, and they're mostly high encumbrance so if you can get your fatigue rolling they start dying easy.

Alternately find something that can tank 'em and get cho SC on.

Priests, priests everywhere. Some anti-undead AoE stuff out there, too. Killing off commanders, helps, too. Just... maybe not assassins. You probably don't want to get in an assassin fight with scaleria.

Eh... the whole fear and willingness to accept dis/misinformation that grew (faster) in its wake definitely contributed. If folks weren't as willing to accept the bullshit spread around over the last while, trump probably couldn't have managed the EC vote. Bonus points that to a fair extent the events after 9/11 led to more distrust of the gov't but not more of groups that were feeding off that to spread their own shit around.

That first bit is actually wrong :P

As mentioned, if you combine a valid elixir combo with pure healing food, you can get an elixir that restores some health. Might be able to do it with stamina food, too, now that I think about it. Someone should check that, heh.

... second one is too, actually, though somewhat technically. Adding stuff like topaz'll generally generate failed experiments, which is kinda' like a special dubious food. Still no monster bits or critters, but a mostly invalid combo anyway.

Yeah, it's the details I'm wondering about. The straightforward stuff is, well. Straightforward :P

Hearty stuff with a monster bit won't work. Dubious food. Unless there's a critter out there that can be used as an elixir component that gives max hearts, I don't think a max heart elixir is possible, from what I've noticed.
Spoiler: Some cooking stuff (click to show/hide)

And ah, seems order doesn't matter with healing elixirs, which is good to know. Max heart stuff might be an exception to what can be added to get a heal, though.

Yo, hold up. That zircon? ... yeah, now that I check, it is indeed. Hadn't even noticed when I read the OP.

I may have just become a bit more interested, ha. Definitely pretty appreciative of the OCR stuff, so taking some time off from other stuff becomes a bit easier to convince myself to do :P

... yeah, so it is. No, no implications, just a matter if having just woke up from a nap and my reading comprehension going haywire.

It'll return on its own. Something along those lines, anyway. If you walk up to a stable you can ride off on any living registered horse regardless as to if it's currently stabled or not, as near as I've noticed watching stuff.

Think you can also get a bit done so far as the climbing goes by just getting wherever you want to go and whistling, but I forget how finicky that is. Critters still look pretty useful even for someone with a heavy verticality fetish if you're going in more or less the same direction and there's enough clear ground along the way, though. Usually pretty easy to glide back to the horse when you're done poking around a particular mountainside or whatev' and still manage a net gain travel time wise.

Though as probably mentioned, I'm getting that from watching gameplay vids, not personal game time, so it's entirely possible some of that evaluation is inaccurate, heh. The stable thing definitely isn't, though.

E: Though I do have to ask, anyone noticed someone sitting down and actually puzzling out the cooking system? There's recipe lists bloody everywhere, but I've managed to find all of one attempt to figure out the actual system behind it, and that from like six months from before release (though, for what it's worth, it actually seems to be pretty accurate to the release version, just incomplete). And there's definitely a system behind it, some of it straightforward but some not.

Oddly enough, it looks like that trend has a very noticeable age relation. Looks like if the 50+ had stayed roughly static, the total bit would have barely budged since '92. Probably means it's not a self-sustaining trend, though, and possibly not even an actually meaningful one. Sooner or later those older generation trends are going to stabilize one way or another, heh.

In other news, this might interest some of the folks that wanted a clear(er) picture on the whole russia hullabaloo. Apparently someone had taken the time to collate and source as many claims and whatnot as they could. Not actually all that interested in the subject myself (at least until rumblings of defamation suits and perjury trials stop being just rumblings, anyway), so I've only skimmed over about a third or half or so of it and not bothered to poke the given sources basically at all, but it looked like something someone might be interested in seeing, so... there you go. If nothing else it's definitely a hell of a thing from a media coverage/publicly available information standpoint.

... only if they managed to emulate nintendo's store, too. Their external server store. And tweaked the thing so stuff didn't cost points. Before that point it wouldn't exactly be piracy, heh. Probably some sort of EULA violation or security issue (connecting/processing transactions through an emulator), but copyright infringement not so much.

So.... Apparently your horse can die permanently.
I was fighting some bokoblins in the rain and decided to use my thunder spear (an AEWSOME weapon by the way) and while the shockwave was harmless to me....
My horse was fried.

I guess I'm not takeing that epona I got from my link amibo out of the stable.
Mm...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

That said, most amiibo granted stuff seems to be retrievable if you happen to lose or kill it off. Not 100% it does for a dead epona (have neither the game nor an amiibo, so I can't personally confirm, but cursory checking suggests it), but it probably does. Downside being you have to wait a day or two real-time to be able to reuse the thing. But you probably won't lose it permanently.
