I actually like the Iso3D element. The world is rich and vibrant, the artwork is detailed and I can really immerse myself in the fantasy of the game. This is my first PnP style game and I'm fairly pleased with it. There are a few things I would like changed, but apparently, those things are coming on Aug. 25 with the patch update. Perfect timing.
To be honest I thought the same about Isometric graphics. They were just fine for the time it came, back in the days in Fallout 1 and Baldur's Gate. But that was 17 years ago, now they seem to lack any detail at all especially when it comes to characters. The text was also okay back then, but it completley lacks the emotional depth of modern day voice acting.
As a result of this lack of detail and connection I have a harder time getting into it.
I disagree. The combat animations are pretty sweet. I rather enjoy the reloading of the crossbow. Yeah it takes a while, but to see the animation of the figure bending over to wind the tensioner back and load the bolt. C'mon now, that's pretty sweet!
I concur. From everything I saw on the KS, it seems like they've delivered.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this title. I wasn't used to PnP, but I've found that when played slowly, and more like a traditional table top style game (meaning 2-3 hours a week) it really lets me get into the story, the lore and enjoy everything the community, the devs and the designers put in to it.
Sorry you're not enjoying the game the same way. It happens. :D
