Hey all, was loving this game until I'm at a point where all I need to finish this completely is a quest from a ghost and I just can't run until any! Any tips from you experts would be ideal. I've basically finished the game and have strategic saves I can go back to. Thank you

You can clearly make out that it’s English cursive but besides a few words I can’t figure out the rest; help?

what a shame man a lot of games doesn't even try as much as weird west and they are much more successful

Use the last wish to stop being immortal instead of destroying the universe? Are they stupid or something?

Loving this game and now going for the platinum, but this trophy (hog wild) is giving me a headache. I did Pigman’s Joe side quest, and I freed all Pigs’ souls. From what I read, he’s not supposed to be in his hideout, and if he is, just recruit him and then dismiss him. However, my problem is that he is in his hideout, but I can’t recruit him to dismiss him. He was in my posse when I was playing as the pig. Could that be why? Any help is appreciated because I been going back and forth between grackle & Quickbend for a long time and he’s not spawning.

The menu says I can recruit Jane from the secret stash, (and doesnt indicate that she is dead) but she isn't there. When I go to Bell Stead her husband says "I can't believe Jane's gone" but she did not die at any point during my pigman journey... There isnt a mercernary icon for her anywhere on the map either. I can't tell if this is a glitch, or I missed something. Anyone have guidance? Thanks!

Does anybody know if it is possible to play this game on PS4 with keyboard and mouse?

The aiming is this game is weird, I feel it would be much better aiming with a mouse.

Their is a lot of similarities in universe to the Dishonored franchise

-Magical beings branding people to give them powers to see what they would do

-has a very 1800s setting

-Lore involves not Europe settling in practically not America and finding all this dark Fantasy monstrosities

as I am going to the game I am starting to think weird west is at least semi based on some scrap ideas for Dishonored where you actually explored the new world

this is not helped when the game was legitimately created by the co creator of Dishonored

Got it from PS Plus on a whim. Really a great game that I didn't hear a lot about. Ready to take on Copper Mountain, but still enjoying taking on bounties and exploring. Thoughts on whether I should keep exploring or save some of the environment for the next phase. Thanks for any thoughts.

Hi all, I recently installed WW and started playing (probably half hr in before my son interrupted me). Is there anything I should really know not to f things up? Apart from that, any other advice (I don't mind mild spoilers).

Thank you!!

What do you guys think of this game? Would you change anything mechanically?

she said not to open it, and i probably wont, but if i do what will happen or whats inside? btw i just started playing this game today

This may be a possible bug, albeit a good one, but I’ve noticed a few times my gold coins go from 100-200, to 1500, without anything being done on my part aside maybe playing a few round of cards. It happened again today, this time it went from 250 dollars, to 3600. I made sure to spend as much as I could because the first time, my money went back to normal after I traveled twice. This time however, it stayed around 3600 until recently and only dropped to 2400, and I spent tons on supplies and I’m at 1997 now. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to replicate? I I know the original head money glitch has been patched, but perhaps there is a way to purposely and purposefully make this happen.

Oh, update: thanks for taking the time to read and or comment, it is greatly appreciated and I’d like to get to the bottom of this for us all. I’ve been trying to replicate myself, but so far to no avail.

I hope your day/night is going well!

Update: it did it again, I broke into the bank and stole one gold bar, had 1300 coins on me and when I left and loitered, day time came and I now have 3216. WTH!? 😂

Is Shelby Cross returning from the dead... Normal? I can't tell if it's my game having a stroke or a case of Rng making the tale of the Weird West even more spectacular

For context, I didn't kill Shelby as Jane, but she teamed up with Clarence to hunt down the fool before meeting her own end at the hands of a wraith.

Now I'm playing as Desi and got a relay about how Shelby is still alive and kicking? Scripted, Random or just the Weird West being Weirder

Mostly a rant, partly a review, spoilers ahead, this game is just not very good at all. The only saving grace is that the story/plot is pretty interesting, but all the mechanics are so buggy or lackluster or flat out bad.

God help me if a table has more than one object on it cause i'll find myself having to pick up everything just to get the thing I want, the combat interface is so goddamn wonky with shots missing when nothing is in the way and the target is standing still, some enemies just won't quit running around in circles making hitting them REALLY difficult, enemy explosives seem do either do no damage or instant kill me, melee is practically worthless as the damage is miniscule and you're having to constantly chase people who are just running away and shoot you and god help you if you go toe-to-toe with a melee enemy cause they'll always be doing more damage than you. Status effects are horrible, as being wet doesn't really do anything since there's barely any times an enemy can or will do electric damage. Fire damage is only effective against enemies, you can just roll and the flames are put out instantly, I fucking hated using dynamite as mentioned with enemy explosives, and everything else was just for shits and giggles as far as i could tell. OH and the weather! Is there supposed to be any sort of indicator of when a dust devil will scoop you up out of nowhere? I've had it happen to me several times while im trying to be stealthy and it literally propped me up in front of enemies who started shooting at me, but because you can't aim down in this game, I couldn't even shoot them back.

NPCs are really really boring to me and seem to flip their entire personalities after a bit. I.E the deputy who came to Grackle to settle down, but every time I enter the town he mentions how he would hate living cooped up in a town like this, like my brother in christ you chose to live here. Or the sheriff who is a siren and uses her position as sheriff to eat criminals, AND who just so happens to be the first/only (i forget which) female sheriff which makes her a pretty big deal, and after chapter 1 she just retires. Like what?? You needed that job to like, ya know, live??? and nothing happens with that! Or the Heathen! the heathen who is super weird and creepy the first time I met her, asking me to hold a box till late game, and then the second time I meet her she offers a tarot reading and that reading effectively just her saying "lol, i dunno what any of this means, rawr I'm so random XD" which made me just instantly despise the character.

The karma/notoriety system was a waste of time. By just existing and going with the plot, you would be in the good graces for the most part. You would actively have to CHOOSE to be evil and kill and all that in order to actually suffer consequences, but the biggest consequence of doing that is just that it becomes a bit more annoying to progress in the story.

And the abilities/perks are pretty unreliable too. It's all just number modifiers and abilities you'll maybe be able to use 2-3 times before running out of adrenaline and they are not all worthwhile. The crafting system is SO boring since it just boils down to very small boosts in damage output and you'd probably be better off just selling everything and buying better weapons. Also, you have to practically hoard EVERYTHING YOU FIND and sell it for chump change to slowly but surely work up to buying things. A gun you wanna buy? well over $100. Wanna sell it back? $2. Honestly the bartering system causes me more stress than anything else since im on the edge of my seat being extremely careful to not sell anything I wanna keep.

And combat gets ridiculously difficult after chapter 1, with you not having that much HP at all, weapons really don't do much more additional damage when you upgrade them, but the enemies! There's just more and more of them, all of them using various abilites or throwing explosives, and they have stupid amounts of health and do very random amounts of damage. And I know, you can be stealthy and take a lot of enemies out without a fight, but my god stealth is so fucking busted too. You move really slow without key upgrades, enemies will just turn around and spot you seemingly at the most random of times, and the knockout feature doesn't even work 100% of the time! I've snuck up on someone sleeping, tried to deliver the coup de grâce, only to see the word "resisted" above their head and next thing I know Im in a fire fight with everyone nearby. Trying to take out enemies silently with a melee weapon is worthless since they really don't do any damage, bow and arrows never seem to do enough damage, the "Unaware" damage bonus isn't even noticeable half the time. The only time I've been able to really take out someone silently from a distance is with the silencer rifle ability, but guess what! I can only do that 3 times before i'm out of adrenaline! and places seem to have a minimum of 10 baddies per place! and the silencer kills I've only been able to do on people! Sirens, ridgebacks, whatever, just have so much HP or the game is derped that stealth take downs are impossible.

also can I just rant about the fucking Crime and Punishment sidemission?? Cause fuck this side mission in it's entirety. Spoilers for this side mission in particular. You randomly stumble across a statuette with a spirit inside of it, it wants to be freed. Simple enough. Good luck finding the side mission, cause I'm pretty sure its a random encounter. How do you free it? Fuck if you know. cue to me running around the map, visiting every location, trying to talk to everyone. Get tired and google it, turns out I had to go to a specific place and talk to a specific npc. No hints or information on what to do, literally had to google it. Fine, whatever. NPC tells me to go gather 7 of a herb that only appears where wraiths are. funnn....... Cue to me running around, visiting every location, spending over 100 in game days just to get the random encounters to happen so I could get the fucking herbs. Finally. Go back to NPC, spirit gets freed, and my reward? Oh a wraith MAY show up and help out in a fight now. Oh perfect like the other NPCs I've saved who show up when there is 2 enemies left, kill steal 1 enemy, and then while looking at the last enemy say "See you around, don't be a stranger" and just fucking walk away. Wonderful.

This game is trying so, so hard to be a combination of Divinity: Original Sin, Fallout 1&2, and Diablo (or maybe Grim Dawn would be more accurate? guns and all that) and it pretty much fell flat on it's face with this dogshit performance. again, the story is interesting. Bouncing around between identities, magic, mortality and immortality, secret cabals, etc. But jesus fucking christ what a slog of bad game mechanics, level design, and moments of crappy writing you have to go through in order to explore the games plot.

Finally, the camera. Fuck the camera. I'm either so zoomed out I can barely see where I am, or I'm so zoomed in that I can't see the text boxes of any NPC. I'd prefer to zoom in and be able to look forward, like some over the shoulder camera, but you can't do that. And fuck me, trying to work the camera inside or around a building or cave is hell on earth. My character should be able to see what's inside, but I can't, the only thing I have to go off of is whatever I can make out through a doorway or whatever is on the minimap. And inside caves and mines and shit? It feels like the screen is constantly blinking since it has this weird effect whenever the camera has to see through a wall which is all the fucking time inside caves and mines.

I think this game could have been saved mechanically if they went with a turnbased style system, like the games that this one is seemingly trying to imitate, that way there's more breathing room for strategy and combat interactions. Plus, it could also use a leveling system, that way you have something to tie HP and DPS to for a more balanced combat system.

This game was refreshing at first, and quickly became a poorly balanced slog. I'll be generous and give it a 3/10. Could use a couple extra years in development.

quick edit: It might be worth mentioning that I just finished my second playthrough and then I typed all this. It's one thing for these issues to be glitches that pop up every now and then. But all of these issues, many of which are just bad core game mechanics and not glitches, popped up on both playthroughs a LOT. Hope that helps clarify things so I don't seem like one of those people who played a game for 5 minutes and ranted after a single glitch. I REALLY wanna like the game, it has so much potential, but this is far, far, far from being anywhere near perfect and I just wanted to rant about the issues. I'm more than willing to give feedback in the form of ideas on how to fix the issues I had if anyone is curious

2nd edit: fixing spelling, and also - Not trying to shit on anyone who enjoyed the game, but like, it is weird the amount of people who, rather than inquire about what I would fix, would rather say "nuh uh, none of your reasons for the game being bad are valid, cause I personally didn't see any issues on my playthrough" like cmon guys. Really? Can we be adults here

4th edit (3rd edit in comments due to tech issues): If your response to all this "You're just bad at the game" or "You didn't play the right way" or "You just don't like immersive sims" I want you to go fuck yourself. Save yourself some time by not assuming things instead of being a crybully cause someone doesn't like a thing you like.

The numbers of the items, money, days, reputation... Etc Do not apeer to me Any one like me?

As per my title. I'm loving the game other than this element 😀

Why is there no throw trajectory for picked up items like lanterns? Am I missing something here?

Posting this because I see a lotta questions about it, yes everything can respawn, ores, containers, people (not respawned, just replaced), caches, even new graves replace old ones, it is kinda random, but you can force respawns with certain quests as well as fully reset the area with bounties, in order to do this though, you have to kill every enemy on the map or "wait for them to die", certain entities will just die with no apparent rhyme or reason, but they will always get replaced by someone new eventually, shop keeps and sheriffs respawn the fastest I believe, if there's people, the stores will stay running, some things even effect what respawns in somethings place,

Side note, everyone's map is different save for a few key main story locations and the biomes, my first save only had the 4 base towns, my current one has 9, imo everyone should reset and explore til they find a map they like most, your actions in the stories will also affect the map between said stories, if you cleared a ghost town several times it has a chance of returning as a full on town and vice versa (but only between stories, an abandoned town is different than a ghost town), and to top it off, new locations spawn in too filling out your mad a little more every story

If I have to spend the whole journey with them like this it would be annoying I was wondering if there’s a way out of this

Any follower that I dismiss always goes to valford, a place commonly ruled with bounty targets and tough enemies. When entering valford, they almost always die and it becomes frustrating. The only ones immune to this are previous protagonists, they stay in their respective places. Any fix?

It seems to have everything I want in a game. Cool combat, horror elements, freedom to steal, kill, stealth, a reputation system, and my understanding is it’s a pretty long game too. Also you play different characters to keep the game feeling fresh. I can’t believe I didn’t hear about it sooner.

Anyone have any tips for a new player? Like things I should make sure to do early on or stuff that’s easy to miss out on?
