How do I get the bottle of baijiu?
I can't do anything with the people that are arguing. They just tell me to wait my turn/stop interrupting.

Use your credit chit thing on them and offer to pay the 10 yuan difference. The guy will feel so embarrassed that he'll pay the sticker amount and leave. You then need to get a bidding war going between the two vendors until they offer it to you for 2000 yuan.
That's too bad really. I'll buy the next book for sure but performance issues like this are jarring.
The nature of the engine makes Unity very attractive to companies with tight financial constraints. The fact that Dreamfall Chapters exists at all is still amazing to me. Same goes for Might and Magic X. So I guess I see it as: I'd rather play these games with performance issues than not at all.

They did a performance patch since release, but I never played through it again to see how effective it was.
No, it still runs like a dog.

I was in the minority for every choice except Kian's. It is neat to see how many different paths there were. I didn't know you could play matchmaker.
There is too much going on in March so hopefully Book Two releases soon.

Looks like we're gonna start hitting the meatier parts of the story now.
Not recommended. Play both games first IMO, but at LEAST play the first Dreamfall. It's a direct continuation of that game's story, which leaves off on like half a dozen ball busting cliffhangers that most of us had to live with for half a decade.
The Longest Journey and Dreamfall are less directly related from a story perspective, but TLJ introduces one third of the main cast of Dreamfall (April) and the entire basis of the world they both take place in. It's also the best of all the games so far (if you use a FAQ to get thru some of the more absurd puzzles).
Also, this is kind of covered in the OP:
Thanks, I started reading that bit of the op but it said to stop!
Are the first two games still considered very good, or have they aged horribly like Gray Matter?

If i am not mistaken there is a recap at the main menu. you may lose some nuances but you should be ok to play it.
While TLJ's graphics and animation are dated as hell, the writing and voice acting fare much better. It's an excellent story, worth playing even though I prefer Dreamfall. I'd suggest to play it with a guide close by.
I find that the most interesting thing about this series is watching the characters change from game to game and you'll miss that by skipping straight to Chapters. April Ryan, the main character from TLJ, has a particularly interesting arc.
Neither were great "games" to begin with per se. TLJ is kind of a relic of 90s obtuse adventure game, but it's seminal and amazing for its characters and writing. 100% worth experiencing. Dreamfall is much, much less puzzle intensive and is more of a modern, Tell-Tale style interactive story. It's puzzles are far simpler so it's easier to just blaze thru it for its great story. I'd say both are easy enough to go back to, yes. And definitely worth it. This is one of the best stories and settings in all of gaming in my opinion.

That's fine. While they fix bugs, I'll play Hotline Miami 2.
I'm planning on getting a new laptop soon and I'm dying to play this game but I hear it's not optimized very well
Doesn't have a dedicated GPU so can be hard to gauge unless someone else has a similar setup. I'd search the Dreamfall forums for Intel 5300 (the on board video) and see what others are reporting.
Minimum graphics is Intel 4000 so it should at least boot.
That's a start, I'll take it lol. Thanks though, I'll check out the forums.
I think I'm okay with that. More time for Cities: Skylines.
I was looking forward to playing it today. Oh, well. I still need to finish Dragonfall.
Ah, that explains why there was no download this morning. That's fine. The less buggy it is, the better.
YES
