In the Direct (and other footage) we’ve seen quite a collection of different weapon types and ways to engage combat. Pistols, rifles, shotguns (and the different ammo types), melee weapons, fists, a couple of shots showed a dev playing primarily with explosives.

What kind of weapons are you planning on using? Often times I try to stick to one/two weapons (depending on the game and skill-system), but I can see myself at least trying out every different kind I find on my first playthrough :D

What about you?

Oh, I just noticed I forgot about space combat - tough I’m not too sure if it makes any difference in gameplay, or if it’s more a “use weapon type X to attack their defensive element Y” until you can board/destroy/whatever?

    This is my thinking too. On a planet? Medium-long range. In a building or on a ship? SMG, pistols, shotguns. But, if it feels more fun to use a certain weapon regardless of the environment then I’ll just do what seems the most entertaining.

    Also we’re forgetting about the space magic stuff that was shown in the Direct. Maybe a build for throwing people into the air and the picking them off like a duck shoot?

      Oh yeah, I keep blocking out the fact were a space dragon born with space dragon shouts… I can’t say I’m a fan of that. I’ll have to wait to see what they do.
