So my only beef about KD is the lack of end goal. So far, staff has been good about plots and stuff, but nobility is inherently an entrenched system that values stasis over dynamics. There's no econ system and a very rudimentary mass warfare system in place. Social interactions are great, but I am somewhat curious how this will not devolve into a complex marriage simulator, which it already kinda seems to be...

It's not as much a complaint as a head scratcher. Maybe I'm just playing the game wrong.

The stat system is based off of nWoD Rev. 1 so that takes care of any learning curve to figure out a new stat system.

I vaguely remember Terre d'Ange as a place that had a lot of activity, but then I got sorta disillusioned about something that was remarkably not Custodius-related and then lost a stable connection to the internet for less than a month. By the time I logged back in, the whole place had practically vacated and it was never quite clear what had happened.

@Luna We can talk on Skype. There will be something I want to pull you into in a few weeks. Super Sekrit Mystery Project.

Once you get it working, it's tolerable and there are glimmers of gold in the giant pile of shit that Ubisoft dropped, and if it had come out after AC2.75, it would have been a fantastic game with a lot of improvements in graphics and game play.

That said, if you are playing on PC, take backups of your save files often. One little error or one little blue screen while the game loads (and apparently saves/syncs as it loads), the save game is kablooey. And you can only have one save game per account. It took me an hour to recover what I was worried was a totally destroyed save file which involved playing through the intro so that it registers the 'finished intro' save file and overwrite the new save file with the last good save file (which I had by pure luck on a rare database backup).

It's buggy as hell and even with the new fixes and optimizations, my rig which is a i5-4690K overclocked to 4.6Ghz, a Nvidia GTX 760, and 16 GB of RAM can barely handle it on highish settings at 900p. I've invested enough time where it's starting to get enjoyable, but I spend way more time on AC4 blowing up ships and storming Man-o-Wars. It speaks volumes about what my subconscious thinks.

tl;dr

Stick to AC4, ACU sucks unless you are a die hard completionist.

Did anyone actually pick up ACU during the holiday season or has everyone been engrossed with DA:I? I'm curious if people dislike it as much as I do, especially after AC4.

People going at the speed limit or 5 mph below on the fast lane and either locking speed with a slower lane so I can't pull in front of them or erratic speed ups that make me think they're finally speeding up and then not. That's not just a pet peeve.

That's actually increasing chances of accidents.

I have a friend who's an ectomorph. He can eat 5k Calories a day and still have a difficulty gaining weight. I'd love to exchange 20% of his ectomorphness with 20% of my endomorphness.
