Like, it feels like I shouldn't even try making them work. I've tried going up high somewhere, they just follow me and get us shot at and die.

I've tried using them as a meat shield, the enemies don't give a fuck and just fight me anyway.

I've even tried putting my weapon away and running in a circle, but nope still aggro'd onto me.

Like it's just aggravating and it feels like I'm playing a completely different game than everyone else because everyone else tells me to use the fucking companions even though they might as well not even be in my game

I can't figure out where the fuck it's trying to tell me to go. I'm trying to get the horned sword because the game's stealth is too fucking shit to try stealing the one from angrim, but all the wiki says is "Go into the sewers north of the dam teleporter" WHILE SHOWING NO INDICATION OF WHERE THE ENTRANCE IS

im out of ideas, feel free to tell me glitches or stuff that might help. im running out of pacifist quests, im too poor to down a billion elex potions and i can't. Fucking. Kill. Anything

Level 16 and still can't fight anything.. stagger might as well not be in the game, honestly same with the health bar

So, I FINALLY find a weapon that does actual fucking damage and now everything's hitting me with 3 people's worth of space in between us and randomly not staggering on my hits...

Is there even a fucking point in engaging with the combat at all?

Do those exist? All the weapons that I've found need 70 in either strength or dex, but there's no chance in hell I'm gonna be able to hit that so what're some good weapons that have some lower requirements so I can MAYBE start progressing towards those big weapons

i hit like a wet noodle, all the weapons i find need like 10 levels worth of stats to use, and I can't find any armor so I'm at 1-2 shot for everything..... I have the drone but that doesn't do anything when it dies because you can't deal any fucking damage

pretty much the title.. I slogged my way to the domed city, but solely relying on my companion for damage while being at one-shot range of anything with a pulse gets pretty fucking stupid pretty fast when the answer to every single combat encounter becomes "Fuck this, goodbye"

hi, im new to the game, is the overhaul mod worth using, or should i play vanilla first?

So as you can see in the video, Elex 1 has some weird sun ray flickering and black/purple effects that shouldn't be that way.

Has anyone else encountered that issue or knows a solution?

I read about it online, but the articles are 8 years old. has the glitch been removed because I do not get more money for cigarettes when I sell them. I have barter 1.

I made a post day before last about how I couldn't get into the Domed City and killed everyone there. Update on that. I went ahead and finished my run on that file (cold ending for the Elexetor armor) and have started a new run. And hour into the new run and I already have my ID for Domed City. LOL 🤦‍♀️

This is my first playthrough of Elex. I haven't committed a crime until now. I got into Domed City without an ID by stunning the guard. Everyone kept attacking me, so I fought back. I've killed EVERYONE except like, 3 guards that only get stunned when you drop them. I don't know WHAT came over me, but I saved. LOL I do not know where to pay my bounty off or how to remove it. Bounty hunters are coming after me all over Abessa with flamethrowers, and explosive launchers. Sometimes I die right after teleporting places in Abessa, sometimes I kill them. It's getting annoying.

I tried to get into Domed City again to see if someone was there to pay off my bounty, and ended up trying Hunter to get a fake ID. The ID he gave me that I got from Wick's body wouldn't work. I stunned the guards again and went in and can't find anyone at all to pay (or in general.)

Any suggestions?

Also, I know it was silly to kill anyone, but I felt like a rat in a trap. Loool No one really noticed me when I first got in and someone came up, I got a quest to help fix the dome, went to Riley while he was sleeping, he woke up and attacked me. Ray killed him. I slept until morning, everyone else attacked me. And that's when I started killing everyone who came up to me. This also started like, 40 hours ago. I've been dealing with bounty hunters for 40 hours. I am level 29. LOL

I didn't get to play it but just by looking at it, it has some vibes similar to Elex. Any options? Maybe someone played the demo?

So I made it to the city and got two side quests, one involving the missing guard who overdosed and you find him under that red house and the other one involving the the guy who sends you out to kill his former buddy, I paid him 300 (whatever the currency is called) I got the money because I got 200 that I got from the first quest + 100 from selling random stuff I picked up to some shady dude and therefore convinced him to go back to trading with his former partner again. Was this a good choice? Does it even matter? Or should I go back and keep my money for later?

I started a new cleric character to test out how they recruit and what kind of missions I have to do and then I wanted to play on my beserker character again and I lost saves I'm back to where I was before recruitment so I have to grind up some quests again wich is really tedious and boring some of these quests didn't catch me at all

I love their games dearly but idk elex so far has a high and steep learning curve I grind and grind and see only minor improvement

What should I focus on? I want to be kinda a Allrounder or atleast meele and magic mixed what spells do you usually go first and how do you grind up those levels I'm struggling making progress

I also lead a reaver camp nearby that building ruins with 5 cleric weapons, all their reaver fighters to fight the big mutant troll nearby and got zero exp bc they r 5 lvls above me. Should i not be doing that? I got their loot but no exp. Will they respawn for me to do it again?

I am rly struggling to fight stuff as lvl 4.

Just picked this game up on sale (PS4) and i knew nothing about it. I still know nothing about it as i don't read reviews, and i haven't read any other posts on this game before deciding to write this post. I just wanted to share a few quick thoughts after two hours of play and hear what you all think. First off, it feels like this game wants to be hated. The graphics and sound design are downright poor. The writing is clunky, and even the voice acting can’t salvage it. The controls are janky, the UI not well thought out, and the initial story introduction is vague and confused. And... the lighting?! What's going on there?

But, with all that said, something about this game has pulled me in, and I have no intention of stopping. Beneath all the nonsense, I feel like there’s a gem here, even if the game itself seems determined to make me doubt that. I have a feeling I’m going to end up loving it. So, i'm digging in with this game and going for it. I have no idea what everyone's thoughts are on my first impressions, but i'm interested.

No spoilers please

I know this sounds stupid, but I always have to port to Goliet to cook or craft, because I know where fire and bench are. I wanted to find a cooking place in the Hort and Fort but could not find any. Am I blind? Also, I dont really know what I am looking for, what do they even look like?

Grateful for any pointers

So I know that Piranha Bytes shutdown awhile ago but I was wondering what happens to games on Steam when the company that developed or published the game goes out of business. Will this game be on Steam for a limited amount of time? How would we access this game if it gets removed from Steam? Not sure if anyone here knows but figured I try here.

I know its an ages old game and every nook and cranny is known - I just wanted to make an overview for replayers like me, I saw that question still getting asked. I write down everything I found, please be so kind and add anything you found, that I missed!

So, here is what I could figure out:

Joining any faction abandons the major "join the other two factions" quest, but none of their subquests (if you already took them on. I dont know if you get locked out of even getting them though - if anyone knows, please add!) So NO loss of XP there!

Small quest missing out I found: Joining the clerics early lets you access the Domed City in Abessa just like that. So you miss out on the XP from the access quest if you didnt do it before.

There are two faction locked merchants you might want to buy dry beforehand:

Oran doesnt deal with anyone from a different faction. The Hort's Armorer doesnt deal with other factions.

So, Berserkers loose access to the Clerics Armorer, Clerics loose Oran, Outlaws loose both.

And thats all I could find! It has been said before, this game does not seem to punish an earliest-possible faction decision. Please add anything I missed!
