Finally got some time to finish this quest. :)
How long did it take to beat the location in general?
About 4 hours. Most of the time spent squinting - my eyesight is far from perfect so i'm not very good at finding items.
Who helped you to find a way to the Gypsy Tabor?
I bearly made it. :)
How did you like the role of a pathfinder?
Wish i had a markerlight. Ok, i'm done with the references. :D
Did you choose to help Red Centuria or gypsies? Did you regret your choice?
Gypsies. Maybe will try the Red Centuria next time for another experience - but actually liked the gypsy characters, so roleplay-wise i don't regret choice made.
If you chose the gypsy side, how did you manage to get into the Red Centuria's camp and how did you manage to get rid of the soldiers?
Made my own entrance and put them to a long yet harmless sleep.
What was your general impression of Luzius Morenus?
Reminds me one of my professors back in the university, lol.
What was your general impression of Demyan the gypsy baro and his quest?
At first i was like "Am i getting scammed? I am getting scammed, ain't i?", but then i got FoE for a nomad and a few clutter items - so i was cool with the result.
What was your general impression of Papoosha the gypsy baro's wife and her quest?
Sadly, you can get only one - so no impression til the next playthrough. Kinda sad you can't complete both. Replayability, i know. :)
How hard was the planet puzzle?
Pretty easy, then again - i'm pretty good with those.
What was your general impression of Oracle?
Dis is yer good olde oracle you meet in video games to advance the storyline. She's 'aight, but i've met those before. A lot. :)
What did Oracle foretell you about your future? What did she say about your past and present, is it far from the truth?
Past was correct. Present was questionable, but i love the Bulat's response. Future was incorrect by her own conclusion. :D
How hard was to find all ingredients for Oracle quest?
My eyesight is far from perfect so i cursed the shrooms a lot, but then i asked myself "Where would designer put dem?" and done it pretty quickly. :)
How did you like the dream quest in general? What was the most impressive part of it?
Best part of the quest and best cinematic here so far. Really loved it both in terms of immersion and setting enrichment. And the second time i've turned the sound on and went fullscreen on the whole playthrough (usually i play in a window and muted so i can do other stuff and watch something - otherwise game would distract me from RL).
What kind of items did you find in Gypsy Tabor and it's surrounding?
Resource speed-ups, blueprint, FoT, some random clutter like crystals and such. And something else - can't remember the content of the chest.
How many secrets did you find in Gypsy Tabor?
Two or three - not sure about one. Locations would really benefit from quest/collectables/secrets counter. Casual gaming, i know. :D
How many gems did you find in Gypsy Tabor?
"Over the half". Didn't bother much - location is huge and reward would probably be like speaker horn or something, lol.
How did you like conversations in Gypsy Tabor? Did they catch your attention or standing in your way? Are they too long/descriptive or good enough? Have you noticed the interactivity of them and various options that are unlocked in conversations depending on certain conditions?
Dialogues were fine, though not always i was able to get the line i wanted to say. Still nice to read, didn't get bored or tried to skip them. I've played the GT once, so didn't experienced the variability so far. The lines in the dreamworld were amazing, really loved the way of storytelling during the shroom trip.
How do you compare Gypsy Tabor with a) previous main quest locations like Opposition Hideout/Keepers Village/Ruins of New Kyiv b) Karfafree c)Thornsville d)original Totem Tribe locations if you played it.
Feels like Keepers Village of the Karfaree size and Thornsville trickery, spiced with unique atmosphere. Feels that your development team is using the past experience wisely.
How do you like the size of Gypsy Tabor in terms of content? Too big / could be split into multiple locations? Too small? Good enough?
Could use a few minor quests or some repetitive actions - like having a single use of Demyan or Papoosha service per day after completing the associated quest. Size of the location itself is good enough, no need to split it somehow.
State any other things you have found interesting in Gypsy Tabor, not mentioned specifically above.
You know, bumbling beta-testers that want you to do their work, creepy shrooms, bitey foxes - the usual stuff. :D Good touch on the newbie advices, thought they never learn the easy way.
What do you think now about Mr. Thorn and Opposition now?
Always had my doubts about opposition - and now have even more doubts. As for Thorne and Jester - those are more of a situational allies that will seek a way to use you blindly while you try to get their help. Also, guys are trying to be mysterious way too hard - schemers like these end up staked/gutted just in case. :D
What do you think about this story line?
Loved it. Finally Apocalypse is laced with the main story, and now there's a better glimpse at it. I love the pending doom theme, and you've made quite a decent one - dreamworld was an excellent way to represent it, both obscure and thorough.
Do you have your own interpretation of what happened in your Hero’s past or will happen in the future?
Well, so far we don't have enough information to interpret the past, but we can make few assumptions based on the divinations. Right now it feels like our hero was summoned to Teya either during/after the Earth suffered the apocalyptic event and probably was involved in triggering it. Said event has affected her essence, nullifying the personality and making her the clear sheet to be filled by the player's actions (smooth). The future we can see already - either we feel the cup with awesomeness and set Teya in motion - or the cup melts in the apocalyptic flames and Teya meets entropy.
