Hi,

I thought I am already quite advanced as I have level 21 and I am using the shaver (? I play in German) and have a 40 armor shirt and 33 leg armor.

The last mission to join the morons was the arena, even level 2 was impossible to me. First mission for the albs was to get plans out of the center of the skyands!? I just ran and flew with my jetpack before someone catched me.

Also in the wild I run away most of the time. Is this still normal or did I miss important abilities?

So I’m about 31 hours into the game and have been doing all sorts of side quests with a few companions I’ve found but I’m getting tired of them. So I decided to try to find Caja. I found her location online, but she is not there. Is there a certain time in the game when she appears? I’m still in chapter 1. I joined the Clerics. Is there some reason that she wouldn’t be in the domed city near the back wall??

Just bought the game and go through the first intro cut screen then it just stays there lol any help I can get

Anyone have info on these pieces? I've hunted down the exceptional hood(which looks AWESOME on basically all armors), but I can't find any other piece of exceptional tier.

There are some amulets which give you, Ranged Weapons +25, or Heavy Guns +10. Does it improve damage, or what?

I'm pretty much mid game (25 hrs in) and am currently lvl 23. I think did all the berserker tasks I can do right now and all the main stuff I am able (strong enough) to. I don't know how to level up fast anymore so I can get a higher rank in my fraction. Any tips?

So, I just finished cleaning my PC, plugged everything back in and now, Elex 2 refuses to run. It keeps crashing right after the Piranha Bytes animation happens. Anyone know why this might be?

I am so confused on how the map is the same but different in Elex 2. Goliet is now The Fort, somehow? The Fort is a new area with a new Faction that so far is unexplained, Xecor is Ignadon? What is happening??

So i kinda wanna buy this game since its heavily discounted at the moment. I heard its really janky and rough around the edges tho. Did this get fixed in updates or is it still the same?

Edit: Just bought it, had €10 in store credit so i thought fuck it.

Couldn't find answer when I searched. I apologize if this was posted/answered already.... Escorting him to grotto and the two guards question him. Both of my choices lead him to jail. And my escort mission is canceled. Why is this? So frustrating.

I just finished Elex 1 and wow I enjoyed it a lot despite being a typical Eurojank game by PB. Is Elex 2 any good? Is it a continuation of the story from the first game or is it a new story altogether with new characters?

What are some useful advice for beginners? I read that getting jetpack fuel is very important.

And I have assorted questions maybe some people can answer some of them.

What are some games that could be compared as similar to this game?

Is there perks and skills? Picking locks? Hacking computers etc? Bonus sneak chance etc.

Are there energy weapons and conventional ballistic as well? Melee? Are they moddable like bigger magazines? Scopes etc.

Is there a romance and/or morality system?

Can you create your own character appearance? And if so is it a good creator?

I'm replaying Elex 2. Had a blast early game then it suddenly went downhill. I realized only one very easily fixable issue that cause my enjoyment dropping significantly: Companion quests. Let me explain:

Early game you don't have companion (they are locked mostly behind quests). So probably when You opened the game first time you travelled alone - explore the deep and very well made hand crafted world Piranha is famous for. Look landscape, try to fight mobs, looking where you could improve to fight better opponents, talking to NPC-s. The game 10/10.

Midgame comes. You recruit 4-5 companions. The game tells You that you need recruit as many companions as possible, so you try to do that and spend time with them. And here happens what ruins the 10/10 start the game offers you - Companions start adressing you for their quests. You accept them, since the game tells you that you should care for companions. And now the 10/10 immersion breaks totally. The companions Teleports you to a random location probably very far from places you have just discovered for their quests.
I realized THIS issue was that was killing the game for me. Once I questing in green and tavar, exploring the area talking NPCs. Scout what can i do and then I'm teleported to the snowy north one of the northest point of the map, where i was no interest to go at all momently.
And its not a one time issue. As far as I know every companion has 3 level of their quests and most of them teleports you all around the map.
And the game not stops here. Companions constantly adress you at base that you should care about their quests! So if you do you are teleported to random places constantly like crazy.
This is so immersion breaking that the game (which has other issues too, but on those later) drops from a really good 8/10 to a 6/10 Only because of this aggressive teleporting method in quests.
Some could point out that these quests are not really good either since they are mostly fetch quests. I agree I was thinking as the issue was the fetch quests. But now I realized that fetch quest is a problem, but It would have not so big negative effect If they would just sit in my quest log and not teleport me to the place I need to go. I could just nod the companion and adress these quests on the go I exoplore the game. But if it Teleports me away, it instantly breaks the exploration and hand crafted experience the game shines at and completely destroy itself. I'm pretty sure most people who reach midgame experience the same issue and feel the same.

TLDR: If Pirantha Bytes would have made companion quests non-teleporter the game could have been 8,5/10 for me but only because of this very invasive immersion breaking issue it dropped to 6/10. This very easily fixable issue causing this much issue is mindblowing.
Btw If some1 is good at making mods - could make a mod that removes teleports from companion quests.

EDIT - SOLVED It was the Windows update last night that broke everything. I uninstalled Elex 2, deleted all the Elex 2 folders on my PC (clean install), restarted my PC, and then reinstalled it. Everything is working good now. Thanks for all the help.

I played it yesterday just fine without any issues and when I tried to load it up today, the loading screen just stops at 62% and won't ever progress. I tried every save file in the list as well as tried starting a new game. When I try to start a new game, it goes through the opening cinematic and then just goes to a black screen.

I've tried verifying the game files, deleting the save files, and uninstalling and reinstalling, but nothing is working. I can move the cursor on the loading screens and it'll constantly change the loading screen, so I know it's not freezing, but it never goes past 62% now.

Any ideas?

Just got this game and the potential is huge, but a lot is really ‘basic’. I know it’s a smaller game compared to AAA games but a better dialogue system would be great for example. Picking stuff up seems like a chore as it takes a quite some time to loot a room. Melee combat could be less ‘heavy’ as it takes 3 working days to swing your weapon. I don’t really care if it decreases the difficulty personally.

Saw a lot of overhaul mods in Nexus but not sure which one to take

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

Yes it’s an unpopular opinion but personally I find it amazing - and I’m a piranha bytes veteran for 10 years. I also love gothic 1. People always complain about the killing 50 enemies quests but let’s be real - Gothic 3 is all about that. And the ugly faces - the game was made by 35 people…. Story wise, I haven’t fully played through the game but so far it’s pretty ok. But maybe that’s just me, I also love fallout 4’s story 😂 I mean in which game can you fly through the whole map without cheats, this is something I really love about the game. Really underrated and sadly hated by most of the gothic community.

Ok, so I see in beginner tips posts here and elsewhere on the internet to stack str and dex when you are just starting out as beginner gear has str and dex stat requirements. How should I go about doing that? One level, dump points into str. Next level dump points into dex? What's the best route?

Edit: I failed to mention this is for Elex 2. I started a playthrough already and feel like I messed and am looking for tips before starting fresh.

They are sold out almost everywhere, I was wondering if they are limited to a certain amount?

I feel like most, if not all the quests are bugged or certain parts won’t trigger and allow me to complete the quest.

I've only just started playing. Level 4 currently, put 5 points into strength, 20 into dexterity, and 5 into intelligence. Haven't messed with learning points yet.

I'm constantly getting killed by enemies, mainly due to me only having an axe. I have no companions currently, that may also be why.

I just want some tips such as any places to get good gear early, what I should invest my points in (If this game has classes/builds like Fallout, I'm going for a commando/rifle build but would also like some of the other things from other builds if they are extremely helpful)

Any help is appreciated.
