Playing on full Cinematic settings with FSR 4.1, Frame Generation on and Ray Regeneration off. Averaging around 120fps at 1080p. The updated FSR and FG look amazing. Unless if I spend a minute nitpicking the smallest details, you really cannot tell FG is on, usually it comes with some blur/muddiness in the games I've tested it on. Incredibly smooth, beautiful details, it's amazing how well it works. FG off, I get around 80FPS average.
I've gotten the camp fully set up. Apparently as of last night, only 24% of players have gotten that far. If you played nothing but the main quest you'd get there in just a few hours, it took me about 11 since I've been off exploring the world. After getting it set up, I decided to roam around a bit, saw some really massive monsters that intimidated me, and thought to myself "maybe I need to go back to the starting village and get more powerful first", so that's exactly what I'm doing.
Completed a few requests around the first town, getting more bag space and money. As with most games, the best loot is found in dungeons and caves, though I still feel a bit underpowered to explore them. I'm not sure how the game handles scaling of enemies and gear, but I'm still using the starting weapon, boots and gloves. I did find a two-handed claymore sword which is really cool but isn't much more powerful than the one-handed sword which I can attack with faster.
For anyone playing, I highly recommend getting to Chapter 3 and getting that achievement for setting up the camp before going off too far. By then you'll have a good amount of money, private stash box, teleportation point by camp, some skills unlocked and more. It just seems like a good point to stop before going on long expeditions and exploration, that's kind of where the main introductory tutorials end as well. Plus you get to cook food for people:
