Aspiration Talent: Drunken Precision

Aspiration Talent Choices

After customizing your character, you will be asked to pick between two Aspiration Talents: Drunken Precision or Rhetoric Edge. These are mainly buffs that take effect during minigames.

We recommend choosing Drunken Precision for better precision in the Pitch Pot minigame. Rhetoric Edge will give you a slight advantage during the Gift of the Gab debates, but there are other ways to increase your potency in this minigame later on.

Best Builds

Guidance: Detailed Mode

Choose Detailed Mode.png

For the best experience, start out in Detailed Mode. You will benefit from the detailed explanations of the game's systems. Each feature has its own intricacies, and you will find the provided information very helpful.

Best Settings

Control Mode: ARPG

Chose ARPG.png
We recommend that beginners choose the ARPG mode because there will be plenty of sections where you will need to move the camera extensively.

Ultimately, though, it's up to personal preferences; other players may prefer the MMORPG setting because it's what they're used to.

List of All Console and PC Controls

Difficulty: Legend

Legend Mode

The best difficulty to start with is Legend, the main reason for this is because you can only select this option during your character creation, making this a missable. Get the chance to earn the unique badges and identifiers for this mode without having to restart your game.

You can change to an easier game mode in the settings later in the game but keep in mind, that once you lower the difficulty you wont be able to go back.

Difficulty Settings and Level Differences Guide

Social Preference: Solo Wanderer

Solo Wanderer.png

For total immersion, the Solo Wanderer is the best option, as it allows you to focus entirely on the world and story of the game. If you prefer a more connected social experience, choose Shared Journey; either way, you can switch to either of them at any time.
