Lining Your Pockets, A GreedFall Starter Guide

BY: JAIRONE

GreedFall is at its core an action RPG with story. Like other action RPG games in recent years the combat will require the use of some active dodging. Or in GreedFall’s case the use of dodging or blocking. This title from Spiders, published by Focus Home Interactive, features a world roughly equivalent to the great age of sail. The setting is thus similar to the 16th through the 18th century, but with some magic giving the rituals and customs of religion and tribe far more than merely social impact. Given the presence of companions who fight with you, you could consider it more of an AA mix of Dragon Age with The Witcher. It has frequently been compared to those two games. Which fits, as it is just a smaller studio making something that blends the two styles quite nicely. You will start in your home in the city of Serene, with plans to sail to Teer Fradee. You have two goals there, diplomatic ties to the other nations and the native tribes, and finding a cure to a plague known as “The Malichor.”

I spent a good portion of my game time figuring out the additions to cooking during the Labor Day Weekend. It didn’t take that long considering I had a lot of materials stock piled to work with. I also found the wiki helpful with its Gourmet Training page. I will not be putting the full details of how to craft each item in your journey to becoming a gourmet. It is my intent to give you the flow of how this works and give you some tips to help you out.

Chilling out in Shiverpeaks: Top 10 Vista Views

BY: GMAFOG

Sweating away this summer, GmaFog decided to chill out by finding vistas in Shiverpeaks. This area is full of nice frosty places to run around, with a few areas of grassy, tree-laden spots to warm up when necessary. The Norn and Kodan reside in these areas with the dredge as their foe. There were lots of slippery spots to fall so using your mounts seemed helpful, but GmaFog went to the vistas on foot for the ones that you can’t mount up. As she didn’t want to spoil the experience for you, GmaFog will only show pictures of how to get there, not of the vista views themselves.

Up! Up! And Away!: Top Ten Kryta Vista Views

BY: GMAFOG

Kryta is one of GmaFog’s favorite places to adventure. Even though the region is full of human inhabitants, you will see the other races in one place or another. She loves the multiple landscapes you can find including lakes, swamps, rocky mountains, caves, and the plateaus of grass overlooking the valleys. The towns are made of rock and stucco buildings, whereas the camps have lots of tents and lean-tos. Some of the camps are nestled among trees and others are in dry rocky areas or terraced up the mountainside.
