You really don't have to talk to every NPC, most of them are there just to flesh out the world and they don't add anything meaningful to the main story. I love the series but I think it's one of the more overrated aspects of Trails and I certainly didn't do it in every game.But I can't ! I know I'm the outlier here, but I couldn't stand speaking to every fucking villager every 5 minutes in the first Trail.
One of my big fail this game, dropped it near the end (the mechanized town), I just couldn't
Always thought it was weird they showed multiple hints in the series that the Winter Solider would take up the shield and it never happened in the end.

Outriders is coming to Xbox Game Pass (console and cloud).
Outriders is Coming to Xbox Game Pass on Day One - Xbox Wire
We all got a taste of Outriders with the recent demo, so I’m thrilled to announce that Outriders will be available on Console and Android phones and tablets via Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass on day one! Starting April 1 (not an April Fool’s joke, I assure you), Xbox Game Pass for […]news.xbox.com
Pretty cool. Might as well try it on my One X and see if it's worth buying on Steam or wait for Steam sale.
Thats fantastic for Xbox, but unfortunately when I played with my controller and then went to mouse I had an infinitely better time on the k&m. So even having gamepass I'll skip. The other thing I'm wondering if it is actually worth waiting for a PC Pass version instead of buying as I planned to do, as that might come down the line now.
Overpass is finally releasing tommorrow on Steam (been an EGSxclusive). It's basically Snowrunner gameplay as a racing game sort of thing.
I found some threads in the Steam forum about this cookie problem. I'm not alone. I hope Valve will fix this ASAP.
EDIT: The steamRememberLogin cookie is now a session cookie.
EDIT2: I deleted all Steam cookies in Firefox and it's now the same problem as with Edge.

Didn't you started playing it a few days ago? Already done?
Not done, that's the problem, Im stuck and the puzzle that requires you to enter the source temple (nearly the end of the game) and I bloody hate the puzzle. Im using speedhack and some cheats and still can't manage to to the puzzle. So I gave up. Not gonna bother wasting more time when there's more games to be played. Other than the puzzle, the game has been great. I searched online and Im not the only one hating the puzzle. I also downloaded a save file, but the save file was after the final boss, so I got the Steam cheevos for beating the game lol.
New PC has been shipped, time to turn on the RGB on my keyboard to celebrate
Then don't talk to every NPC :V You think I been playing jRPGs for the better part of 20 years and actually talking to NPCs in towns~But I can't ! I know I'm the outlier here, but I couldn't stand speaking to every fucking villager every 5 minutes in the first Trail.

Not chocolate as we know it today (this was actually created in Belgium) but yes, the Aztec used cacao beans as a currency.
The museum has lots of these fun facts, but what I remember most is that eating chocolate actually makes you feel happy. Now I finally have an excuse to justify my addiction
That would be M&M's. Those are more sugar than chocolate tho.
I'd enjoy that museum I think. And Belgium by the sounds of it. I eat a chocolate bar almost every day as a food staple. To me, chocolate is dark at 85%+. Anything else is sugar. Also I think M&Ms aren't even chocolate either, are they? I thought they are carob.
Nice, Outer Worlds finally fixed the Steam achievements missing for DLC 1.
Sweet, accepted the fried request! I can probably play on Wednesday it shouldn't take more than 1 hour.Since I'm doing hitman 2 as well right now, might as well do these achievements too. so, yeah, lets do them sometime this week. I'm usually available after 17.00 Berlin time. I'll add you on Steam (my name's "***", easily recognizable)
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask for your "gamer" credentials back, kind sir.
You must suffer the same as us in regards to talking to every NPC and not just once but talking to them until you have exhausted all of their dialogue options.
Have you experience with Dragon Warrior by chance?
Lets face it, with CRPGs you only need a backlog of zero and you behind playing absolutely anything else by months,
My next batch of one and done games ar egonne be some "blockbuster" titles that have been in my backlog: Shadow of War, Far Cry New Dawn, South Park But Whole, MAFIA DE, Ghostrunner and Wolfy Youngblood.
Shadow of War will be first as it is fucking 150 gb.

Historical Low. Dunno if it is a price error, but grab it if you're interested.
Just a reminder, tomorrow X will be back to Earth:

I'm really bad at sniping, so I hope I wont drag it out too long, yeah
You guys know what today is?
Hell yeah! it is Gothic's 20th anniversary! Volles Pfund aufs Maul!

Really hope the final thing will look different from that demo. That was just terrible, in just about every element except graphics.
I think the most important thing about playing videogames is to have fun, so if you don't enjoy talking to NPCs after every story beats, then, by all means, don't. The games are large enough that you will be kept busy even without talking to every NPC on every map.
For what its worth, I enjoyed talking to NPCs a lot. Not only I'm learning a lot about their trials and tribulations, but sometimes they give out important lore or hidden sidequests. If you ask me, I'd still recommend talking to them at least once or twice when the plot of the game advances. Besides, these days turbo is a thing, and you can cut down on the times it took to scour each map for NPCs.
That Dying Light mission in the school is basically showing what is wrong with the game. From tossing tons of enemies at you that take like 30 hits to die to needles backtracking. First you are sent around the entire building before you actually enter the building, then you are sent to one side of the building before you are sent back to other side and then you are sent back again. I really don't like combat in this game. But parkour is bit better now that i got upgrade that grants you more speed.

Trails NPC are best NPC (although I might actually like Tokyo Xanadu NPCs overall even more? Still Falcom though 
)
I personally consider talking to and following the NPC stories to be what elevates Trails to something special, but if this is making you feel like dropping the game instead, by all means just focus on the main content and only talk to side chars whenever you feel like it, there's plenty to like there too.
And who knows, maybe it "clicks" for you eventually and you start getting enjoyment out of it. I know I didn't talk to everyone when I played FC (was pre-turbo times) and I still don't talk to everyone everytime, but I try to cover most of it.

Complaining about the Trails NPCs is a bit strange.
You either don't like reading them, and then ... just don't? Or you do like it, but you're annoyed there's so much of it. Which is like complaining why a restaurant has so much good food that you can't eat all at once.
Just take your time, no need to do it all at once. I love the slow burn of Trails games, and the NPCs sweeps are among the most enjoyable aspects of them. I absolutely adored how well this is executed in Trails From Zero.

Hopefully Rockstar pays him but I doubt they will do it.
I'm in the same camp as him. I liked talking to them, until I realized that in order not to miss any I'd have to go into every single house and fomo made me fall off that particular wagon.
I personally don't get the FOMO. You either like reading all of them, and think it's worth the hassle. Or you don't. I think it's also totally natural (and probably quite common) to just pick a handful of interesting NPCs in a few locations and only visit those regularly.
It's a feature of the game, you just need to decide how much of your time it's worth and how much to engage with it.
Me personally, think it's worth to visit all of them every time. It's like a mosaic of tiny personal stories that draws a picture about how any given village or city is really like and how what's happening in the main story is affecting the village as a whole. Most of the time, it's not affecting it or only in small localised ways, and you see how things normally play out, the small dramas and comedies of every day life. This makes it so much more effective when the shit actually hits the fan and everything is suddenly affected by big story events.

sucks that it's not coming to PC, though looter-shooters aren't generally my cup of tea anyway so I can't get too upset
wonder if MS just didn't try to get it on PC or if SE sees Game Pass as more likely to hurt sales on PC than on console
Mivey already outlined some good points, but if you prefer not to miss any plot points or sidequests in relation to NPC dialogue, there are some very excellent guides on GameFAQs which will tell you which NPC to talk to (provided that you're not averse to reading guides while playing, of course).
I understand what you are saying but you both missed the point I was making. You didn't have an issue with it and I am glad for you both, but I did. Figuring out which houses of the identical bunch I have already visited or not and wondering which NPCs I may have missed was just not fun for me. Call it a completionist issue, but I felt like the game was not designed around this desire to get all the NPC-fed exposition, which makes sense given their age. Maybe you have an easier time of it navigating those towns than me, but it felt really difficult to orient myself and all that.
Basically, that was my experience and the reason I couldn't get into the first of these games.
Had another email from AllYouPlay questioning if I want a refund for my pre-ordered Vampire the Masquerade. I had 3 so far and they all say in effect do nothing and the game remains pre-ordered. I do nothing as instructed and get an email every few weeks asking if I want a refund. There was a price mistake on my order anyway so I'm not in very deep and would rather stick it out and see what happens.
That's fair enough. For this particular issue especially, Falcom is well aware of it hence from Cold Steel III onwards, they implemented a feature which changes the appearance of the talk icon which normally pops up on top of an NPC's head once you've exhausted their dialogue lines. Having said that though, the number of NPCs we can talk to has increased even more, so I totally understand your frustrations.
My new controller areived today, too bad I was too spend a lot of time with it though the controller feels good and not cheap.

So I live abroad and a sub to choice, which I have the classic (the one you get if you had it before they changed to choice). I just remote desktop'd my PC that my mother now uses. I added my local card, where I currently live, to paypal and set that up as default in humble bundle.
To keep my humble bundle in the states, whenever I log into it do I always need to do it via remote desktop to keep my IP buying location in the states? I have a VPN with dedicated IP location as well.
