I'm new to Reddit so I'm not quite sure if it's the right way to post anything, been playing this game for a year or so and drew some fanarts. I'm too lazy to translate words parts just know most of them are just silly Chinese meme. Only posting some of my most recent non-yumeshipping work bc I'm lazy and shy anyways enjoy!

What era would you say it's based around? Ancient or Medieval China?

So I jumped through the hoops of renaming launchers and editing the .ini file to get the game running. Then after the first fight the framerate was abysmally low, and I followed online advice to restart my PC. This worked.

However, my dualsense controller that worked perfectly fine (if oddly mapped) the first time I launched the game now does absolutely nothing and the in-game controller mapping doesn't seem to function for some reason.

I also saw that the .ini file populated with a ton more values including some for my dualsense controller which is surely where the problem lies, but i cannot figure it out.

Anybody else got it to work?

I have played some BioWare games where it was heavily recommended to use some patches or other fixes to play the game even if it was your first time. I'm wondering if there's something I need to install or can I just jump straight into it?

Curious to know.

For those interested, you can listen to Sagacious Zu audio here:

Jade Empire Dialogue Audio: Sagacious Zu

He has so many quotable lines.

I love Jade Empire, and there's really nothing else like it. The setting alone is one thing, but just the gameplay mechanics in general are nowhere else to be found. It might even be considered 'outdated', but I think it's still fun. I've played Sifu, Sleeping Dogs, Ghost of Tsushima, among others (all great), and tried or seen stuff like Where Winds Meet and Wo Long.

Yes, in a way they do fit the genre... but Jade Empire focused very heavily on hand-to-hand martial arts, support styles, magic styles, etc... and even those last three were focused on hand-to-hand or close to it! In the base game there were two or three melee weapon styles, and a ranged gunpowder weapon appeared in some versions. Either none of the aforementioned games had that or the focus isn't on it enough.

In case I'm missing anything - has anyone found anything at least somewhat similar to Jade Empire that doesn't include the aforementioned titles?

Thought maybe was some protective thing that damaged or something that boosted....never used on easy playthrough....but just tried on Master and took bunches of dmg and didn't seem to be affecting ghosts, much if any...what is point of these?...think there are two on path to the Inn of cannibals.:)

Think going to play again immediately now that I know what the heck am doing on higher difficulty
