I read that they updated the ps5 version to perform better when they released the first dlc. Does anyone know if the dlc is required to get the performance update patch or is it a patch to the base game? Going to buy the game soon but was planning to wait on the dlc to make sure I enjoy the game before dropping the extra $15

I don’t know how well it performs after that patch but it was for the whole game, regardless if you have dlc or not.

yeah no idea bro , I gave my PS5 away. I game on PC.
Speaking of, pretty sure I'm at the last part of the DLC, got a bunch of exposition dumped on me last night but couldn't listen to it all so I alt+F4 out and quit.

I decided to go to act3, instead of DLC first. I think I'm 2/3's of the way through act 3. nothing majorly broken or feeling half done. so I suppose most of its been fixed.
I do think there is less alternative completions in act3.
Im pretty sure they did do the acts in sequence.

act 1 is small town, mostly wilderness.
act 2 is a larger town, PACKED with quests and npcs. better Voice acting. there is a weird thing with the Northeast part of the map being totally empty.. barely any quests, just wide open fields. not even monsters. so strange. I can see why people felt this marked cut content. probably was? but the rest of act 2 is packed.
act 3 is now 5 towns.3 of which are in ruins admittedly. but, even more npcs really. I hear much of it was bugged, and current quests even added in 1.1. but I think the raw volume was too much, and they reduced the alternative options, and cross reactivity.

Hmm well I did the DLC when I got to it. Finished it , in that I cannot go back to it. Now I'm all swole & OP, think my level is in the mid 40s? Got a kick ass 1h sword from there and a very OP fire spell that has to regen. Went to the town and bought a battlemage summon (maybe it was from the druid dude maggot? ) anyhow I summoned 2 master assassins , 2 battle mages, 1 drowned something mob. I had the 1h and the OP spell in 1 group, the 1h and the other OP burning spell in another group.
I'm getting lip from the commander guy in the town and one of the options was 'Try me'. So fuck it I tried it.
Me & my small army of summoned mobs majorly butt fucked the town guards , it was hilarious and probably game breaking so afterwards I reloaded the save and played it straight.
I did have a really good time massacring all of the town military though.
man I'm loving this game.

Stick with it, there are parts that feel like a fever dream but (I'm assuming) it will all make sense eventually. I am having an absolute blast.

Well I am in the last area now. Pretty sure I know how it will end up. I thought the 2nd area had too much to do. Finally just roamed around doing the explore thing and walked into some quests mid way. I said nope to one that wound up breaking my way out of getting to the 3rd area so had to reload. Then I decided to just stick to the main quest, except it requires you to pretty much do most of the secondary quests.
I've level I think 50 now, way OP. 1 shotting everything except a boss mob.

Yeah I noticed a patch. I'm in the 3rd (And assuming last ) area. Still having a lot of fun but it's really like all these open games. I'm so OP that It's getting a little tiring. Well worth the $$$ though.

Finished today , 75 hours and that includes the DLC. Do not regret this purchase at all.

Sided with the knight guy Caradac(sp) , killed King Arthur in 2 hits, I was way OP . I thought at the end I was supposed to give up my life so Arthur could take over my body but guess not? Read in the credits it's based on a board game, didn't know that either

All in all I'd say 7.5/10 game. I will probably play again at some point.

yeah, it was originally a board game.
2018 kickstarted board game. major success.

so then, they made a game based on it. A deckbuilding roguelike.
Tainted grail:conquest. 2021



It seems like Questline is an in house studio for Awaken Realms. you can see how they talk in that dev blog there. not separate entities.
Polish studio btw.


Conquest is 70% off on GoG atm. till 2/12. 5.99

I bought Conquest during the kickstarter (if I’m remembering my games correctly) just because I love their board games, customer service, etc. It had an interesting arc, they made the game and it was interesting and is a good but not great game.I’d say if you like card games $6 is not a bad price for it.

Anyways it was their first foray into video games and it wasn’t really the game they wanted to make, Avalon was. I’m not really sure why but once they finished Conquest they gave all of us Conquest supporters Avalon for free. I didn’t even realize I had it for a long time, til one day I was trying to reinstall Conquest and installed Avalon instead and was really confused. I thought they completely changed the original game.
