Added 2020-04-12 14:00:03 +0000 UTCOur next Bonfireside Chat game is 2017's The Surge, the sci-fi Soulslike. You play as Warren, a man fused to an exoskeleton who wakes up after a horrible disaster and tries to get to the bottom of it. This episode covers the game's generalities and the Abandoned Production area, up through the first boss.
Comments
About the 30 seconds per enemy killed while going to fetch your souls, if you build up the clock beyond a certain threshold it multiplies the pick up, you can double (maybe more? I can't remember) your soul pick up by killing enough enemies to get it to 5 minutes. This is impractical in most places but in the mid-to-late game some areas seem designed for it and this lets you fairly quickly power level your character if you feel the game is getting too hard. Also, there is a multiplier based on how much scrap/souls you have on you, how long it has been since you sat a bonfire/med bay, and how many executions you've done on enemies in that time; seems like there's even more benefit to having lots of scrap on you than just the multiplier but it's hard to find a clear explanation on the net.
