i tried the german version some weeks ago, but i just don't have the time to play games anymore lol.

Anyway, you can play it standalone (which then gives you the option to roll a lvl 45 char (predefined roles etc Hunter, Magician etcetc) or a "clean template" (you can also undo all skills on the templates, aslong as you dont level up to 46).

Or you install the maingame aswell and start from level 1.


it's a multilanguage release?

EDIT: only eng

to be clear - it include original content / require base game ? or its standalone and can import chars from base game ?

in other words - did i need to get the base game again Smile or it inlucde proevious and addon content ?

and another question:)
if you install the maingame to start from level 1, does this addon patches the maingame beyond v1.17 ?
i want to know if the improvements/tweaks made in the addon are patched in the maingame too Razz

edit: i don't get it.. is it too hard for the devs to clearly state some info like this? they didn't even updated the english version of their website with BASIC news about this addon
right.. also goes for heroes v gold .. i just spend an hour or so to find some info about it.. is the gold edition already patched? is it not patched? could not find anything.. wtf?
all i see is "face over 20 new monsters, choose among 10 new spells" well how about the hundred bugs in it ??

Wow an exp pack for a game that went unnoticed because it got released on some "profitable" time of the year at the same time that a lot of better games. Games publishers still don't understand that make them lose money... they should release continuously during all year long, not only at 3 periods of the year.

To fiddly with all windows and menus, and the fighting is to "click, click click"etc. I guess its a good RPG but I that I am not in the mood for it at the mo. If I would play a RPG I would probably play Witcher.

Based on the screens during installation it seems like a nice addition to Silverfall, pretty cool that it also detected my existing installation and is now rebuilding it with the data files from this expansion, should save a few GB diskspace atleast.
(Having both this and the original game installed would otherwise have taken over 12GB of data.)

By the time that silverfall was out, my pc was to weak to hande it... Now... is it worth it? I mean compared to Titan quest/ Dungeon siege 2. Is it better or similar -gameplay wise ? (or it is on mediocre level like Loki & Blood magic )

edit: oh, ok thanks, i'll give it a tray then.

i finished Silverfall. It was quite ok-good. I especially liked the graphics (that shder thingy),you have to consider tho, back then i was on a gf 6600 with a athlon 2800+ ^^. There was a lot of good things, and some bads too i guess. Overall it was too easy (not the beginning where you die all the time from plants that shoot you through half the world ^^) but the last half/tier was VERY easy (i mean Enemies). But anyways. My verdict (and i didnt play the expansion for more than 10 minutes , because do not have time or motivation to play anything right now, and basing this mainly on the Original game) is : it sure is worth a good try. I highly suggest to play the original first tho, and then use that char to play the expansion. Otherwise you have a char with a crapload of ... crappy items and have a hard time killing the enemies you encounter.

I tried for like 10 minutes yesterday with an Premade Assassin Tech, went fine for that time without dying, installing Original today to make a level 1 though. Well you can craft and stuff in the expansion, I guess that's a plus. Haven't played much.

One of the reasons why I did quit it after short time of playing was that there were no real "unique items" (as we know and love them from "Titan Quest", "Dungeon Siege 2" and some other Diablo-clones), all items were random generated, there were these better ones with other colors but even their statistics were random and they did not give special abilities/bonuses.

At least for me item collecting is one of the most important features and motivation sources in an action-RPG game. it did not satisfy me in Silverfall.

has item collecting changed in the add-on/patch? are there now unique items to find?

thx Confused

i installed the expansion - but i guess i need the original to start from level 1, damn this game is huge.. eating my free space with another 20gb for iso+ install of the original Sad

i wonder... is there a way to play the original.. without the original Laughing Some registry key trick or.. ?

edit: well, i thought that the expansion is like company of heroes- OF,everything is included- but must be activatad with separate keys- but no such luck, oh well installed it all now Smile

There is a strange error with the sound in the expansion for me. The sound on the left headphone speaker is much louder than the right. But only for the music. Any ideas on how to fix it? I didn't find any setting in the game.

Huh, screw this game then, items are everything in these games.

so you quit diablo 2 after a couple minutes, too ? Because you don't find any good items till later in the game (nightmare/hell). I don't remember exactly what items i had when i finished silverfall, but i'm very sure it had "unique" items.

AA doesn't seem to work when set in the configuration utility. You have to force it via driver. Odd.

Edit: There is unique items. I've found a few already in the couple days I've been playing. Dunno about set items, but definately some unique named items.

Exactly the opposite, actually. D2 kept me hooked for ages, and still does with new mods, mostly because it had a kickass itemsystem, which pretty much all the action-rpg's (and games like WoW) have copied since. But what Tydirium said was that there's NO features like true uniques or item sets. Completely randomised item systems just blow, plain and simple.

Edit: Happy to take that back if it really does have unique items, though! Hope there's a compilation of main game & exp. later, could grab that one.

And Expansion you can craft items, haven't played more than 20 mins though so dunno about that.

Crafting system seems to be decent enough. You can create most items, and some pretty good ones actually if you have the right skills and then enchant them on top of that.

Ok, so if it doesn't require the original game, AND it overwrites the original game directory during install, there should be some kind of registry hack to make the game think that silverfall (original) is installed.

I hate the idea of starting a lvl 45 char.....I want to start as lvl 1, but do not with to wait 2 days to download the original.....

Think a registry hack would work?

IF SOMEONE WOULD BE GENEROUS ENOUGH TO PM ME THEIR ORIGINAL SILVERFALL .REG FILE I WOULD APPRECIATE IT!!! I have the whole day off, and don't want to spend it getting the original game, thanks!

Silverfall was, and still, a fantastic Diablo/TQ-esque RPG. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to playing the expansion too Smile

(Just need to clear the HDD space so that I can install the original first)

Well, forget the reg hack, i just finished downloading and installing the original

The original install was close to 11 gigs, and after installing the expansion, the whole game takes up close to 12 gigs now, being that the expansion simply overwrites most of the original install AND updates the game to v1.5

Thanks to spykez, who remembered this gem, i gave it another run on a contemporary rig ^^ and i'm having a blast. I'm currently level 38 meleeing through the world and having fun.

I only every finished the main game, never the expansion, so i have that to look forward too hehe.

I also like the crafting system here, it's really unique (it lets you create armor and weapon with different combinations and not just presets, which gives a nice array of possiblities.

Anyway, needed something rpg/hack n slashy and this sure does the trick Smile

And it does still look great imho (aged well).
