Started a new captain in legacy mode and I've had loads of fun so far. It's really starting to feel like a game you can play and enjoy.
The new docking system is great. Feels much smoother than bumping and sliding around the port and you get a real sense of actually being in the port rather than somewhere in the vicinity. I have had a couple of occurrences where the docking system didn't seem to activate. Not sure why yet tho I have two theories : in one place I hadn't 'discovered' the main port area yet and my other theory is maybe I was still pressing 'W' which cancelled the docking.
The new terror indicators work well for me and I loved the new spooky music as my terror reached over 90.
Random really great moment : I purchased some wood at the normal price for the clock tower quest then found some stained glass in a wreck on my way back to New Winchester. With sovereigns being so tight at the start of the game this unexpected windfall felt great!
Had some epic combat situations too with 2 or 3 opposing ships versus my starting ship. Actually had to choose to cut and run a couple of times rather than risk my captain and ship.
Really looking forward to the locomotive handling update now! I'm hoping that engine speed becomes an upgrade-able option too... this will probably be the most enjoyable sense of progression for players so I am really hoping it becomes a possibility.
Great work so far Failbetter. The atmosphere of the game, the writing, the graphics and the sound are all top notch. It's really starting to come together!
