There are none actually, Steam build is pretty much DRM free. There isn't even an API yet, probably because of EA.

Ah, I don't have the Steam version so I didn't know if they were using Steam's API yet or not. Even if they were it's super easy to strip that stuff out and distribute.

Even with the API, most of the time, it can be dealt with a simple .txt file. You'd be surprised at how much games on Steam are/can be made DRM free.
It's more about "the feeling"..
Yes, but it still sounds like a bad joke..Considering how heavily fortified the Patreon versions are.
Maybe it's time to consider GOG as well. That would make it even easier,

That was exactly my thought when I saw the difference in Patreon/Steam builds.
Steam UE4 build works the exact same way. The only time they did put some kind of protection was on the very first UE5 Steam beta build where they wrapped the basic Steam DRM on the .exe (also very easily removable btw).

Cracking the Steam version seems to be fairly easy, or at the very least low risk
Cracking the Patreon build results in the person doing the cracking getting their account blocked. The devs can easily find out who did it and apparently crack-down hard on would-be crackers
oh i see. so you must have sub'd to carnal instinct patreon? why you still looking for the cracked game?
I'm not looking for the cracked game, lol. Aside from sharing update posts when they come out, I'm here to talk about the game on the rare occasions when this thread is about the game rather than the developers.
You have to leave the starting area, complete the Masquerade quest then visit the shrine to change your appearance.
That one puzzled me at first too and I thought I had a censored build or something. It's part of the game's natural progression; by defeating a magical boss creature you gain the ability to break free of your magical "formless" bindings and to change your shape whenever you like. It's integrated with the game's lore fairly well, even if it means you spend the first few hours going "Wtf, I thought there was sex in this game!" Then you get the ability and suddenly you can walk around hanging werewolf dong and giant tits whenever you like.

No you are formless, you have to meet a wizard/shaman that will help you choose a form. Continue the main quest

Well, I'm trying to.. but when I loaded back in I've lost so much. I've lost my Quest Log, level, still have my equipment, but now I cannot fast travel or anything.
Now I'm totally confused because I'm running around everywhere trying to find the Quest. The game has far too much freedom during the tutorial phase.. I'm constantly being rejected everywhere I go because I'm formless.
Last thing I did was attempt to kill a purple witch or something, then an obelisk is making my head hurt and now I have the equivalent of 'Detective Mode' from Batman
As a PreAlpha I really wish they just let you skip this shit.

You've just come across the classic breakable stuff, the joys of EA... Sadly, the only way to fix this is to start over.
At the moment, if you wanna enjoy the game, you'll have to either not play at all and wait for fixes or play in a single sitting without saving/loading and/or dying. The moment the game uses the save/load system, it will break. Been like this since the first UE5 beta.
Well, that doesn't happen too often, but it is an existing and persistent bug, in any case.
The temporary solution is to save the game BEFORE starting an important quest, and then save again when you approach a crucial fase such as a boss fight or something.
Still, you have to be always ready to roll back to a much older save, in case the latest saves appear to be broken.

Even then. I've stopped counting how many times a quest breaks or an important NPC permanently disappears with this method. The save/load system is just flawed. EA I know, but still, not an excuse. It should have been the first thing to fix.
Nah, this isn't an EA issue. It's a QA issue tied to the fact that, as best I can tell, the developers don't have any programmers on the team and so the save system is operating on duct tape and prayer.
The overwhelming majority of bugs in this game's builds are super simple "A programmer would have caught and fixed this while testing things" QA bugs. In fact, I can break the common bugs down to three types:
- Interface related bugs where menus interact poorly with each other, or have data-related oversights
- Save related bugs that result in loss of data, persistence of the wrong data, or inter-save corruption by reloading post-death
- Quest related bugs where quests make specific assumptions about the status of your quest progress and other data and break if those assumptions are not met.
How do you even create a game without any programmers? Like don't you need to know how to code... to make a game?
Or is it all doable with blueprints these days (in UE at least) and whatever code they need to do, they just ask on forums/stack exchange until they find something, cobble something together from bits without any understanding of how the code is supposed to work and hope for the best (and then spend ages fixing it)?
