I won't do any story spoilers, just gameplay chatter

I REALLY LIKE the revolver????????

There's something methodical about the design that makes it really satisfying to reload and go at things with

I've seen some criticism about how the guns work and like. I'm not a fan in general with any guns in any games but I like the "feel" of it, I guess

ALSO

THE AIM IS REALLY GOOD FOR

checks notes

1890.

So my gearscore is between 70-80 depending on what weapon I have equipped and the Herbarium realms (at Hard) are about 80. However, the threshold to get to Herbarium is just 50

Because I think if you play Medium? Or Easy? Herbarium is at 50 I think

Correct me if I'm wrong

So I think if I ever bothered with a second character, I would keep Abeyance at Easy LOL just to grind out the cards faster for the greater realms

But even at Hard the Abeyance realms sits at 25, it's just the bosses that get adjusted

So I don't know if the bosses would become Easier if you set it to Easy for Abeyance or what. But just thought about it a bit

Not gonna lie, I rushed into Herbarium. Completely skipped Provisioner in the sense that I unlocked it, grabbed any schematics from vendors in each biome and then sat around crafting gear to get into the Herbarium site

THE REASON being plants lmao

I really want to do plants and farming but it's just not viable unless you are in Herbarium realms

So my plan is: Bounty charm on the watering can, Tempest minor card so I don't actually have to use said watering can, and Herbarium does the rest for me!

For "funsies" I'm gonna do this in the desert. Tempest should be most useful there and cancel out heatstroke

And desert doesn't have cold effects at night so that's EVEN better

Anyways, I'm still having fun with the game. Most fights I end up climbing to tall places and sniping because holy potatoes batman, things hit like a truck

I want to set my Abeyance realm to Trickster, but I don't have it yet. So for the moment I'm using Thinned Veil and just flopping around without much gravity. WHICH PROVED HILARIOUS DURING the Herbarium fight

I got pushed off the top and went flying a good 250m because what is gravity lol

Luckily, the boss did not reset and patiently waited for me at the entrance, only to smack me off flying again

Eventually I got back into the boss site but lol it was wild

Just kidding, Tempest did nothing for the heat lol

OH. I lied, it works. You just have to be drenched to mitigate the heat
