REGARDING GOLEMS:
You know I am conflicted, and I genuinely do not know how to feel about Golems at this point in time. Here is the what I am wrestling with. Look I absolutely love Conan Exiles to death. I love its gritty, impoverished barbarian backdrop. Now while the Conan universe has always been a fantasy one, I cannot help but feel that some of the weapons, armor and items from Chapter 3’s Age of Sorcery have taken the high fantasy aspect up another level. And I am not sure that I like the idea of industrialising this this game. It just feels like having crystal powered mechanised men wandering around doing things for us is more thematically…out of step(?) with the Hyborian Age. And to be honest for me personally, when I think on it, it feels reminiscent of the Dwemer from Skyrim, having crystal powered automations doing our bidding for us. I guess I am just worried that seeing dozens of ‘machine men’ all around the map may fundamentally alter the atmosphere of the game. Although this could be just a me thing.
Am I worrying needlessly, having some faulty perceptions or catastrophising!? That is absolutely a possibility and I acknowledge that. That said, I am absolutely going to give the Golems a try and reserve judgement until after I have.
