    But I'm guessing this would not rule out chimera in the general sense, since these are magically created. Hence, you may still have griffons, centaurs, pegasi, and so forth. This might also permit mixed breed humanoids to be created by the gods, or perhaps even by mages or magical forces. That could make for some interesting plot lines that consider the repercussions of creating such "abominations".

    Remember the supposed slanterns in Baldur's Gate? Do you recall their pick-up line: "Hey sexy, do you want to take a look at me ditties?" Well, you may be surprised to learn that a 'ditty' is actually a short song. Hence, despite their attire, these young ladies were really just aspiring musicians; pop tarts, if you will. Isn't that charming?

    They're just getting started, so whatever they publish as updates now will be very preliminary. It'll no doubt take time for them to build up the lore, work out the game system, plan the development, start the writing, generate the art, and so forth. We'll just have to be patient.

    Since you missed the point... I was pointing out that even for us it took "thousands of years of history" which was something he hated about games. It was something they thought was unrealistic, and yet something that we know occured in our history. No need to be snarky. I was making my own point. Cheers.

    Just an FYI but even for us it was over over 4000 years from the the time of Sumer until to first firearms were made. If you want to go from the first cultures such as Hassuna and Samarra it was over 7000 years. It's not a foregone conclusion that gunpowder and firearms would have appeared in Europe when they did if the alchemical technique hadn't been imported from China. Instead, they likely would have appeared much later after further scientific progress had been made. We can't assume this new setting would follow the same sequence of progression as Europe.

    Magic makes all things possible, and elves are a magical race.

    Update addiction? Maybe we need to start a support group thread?

    This isn't middle earth. It's a different land, so name changes can provide a little color.

    I suspect we won't gain a stronghold until we're at a pretty high level. But, until then, perhaps we might be able to turn over prisoners to the local lord.

    I'd actually prefer they use a term like 'fey touched' or 'fey kin' rather than 'half elf'. The latter just seems so mundane and mechanical.

    I know I'm going to regret asking this, but... will the Priests be carrying holy hand grenades?

    Probably going to be a Giant easter egg...

    Yeah, if they can build posh mudcrabs, they can mod spiders into giant web-spinning kitties.

    Thank you! I wonder how well features like echoes would work given the 2D nature of the graphics? Shrug.

    Well if they do have chainmail bikinis, you're going to need a magnifying glass to see them. Seriously, I don't think it will be a problem with this game. Many of the core audience are mature adults looking for mature themes.

    Sorry I didn't mean to have that effect; just pointing you to a related discussion. Personally I'd like to see some tutelary deities, such as a patron deity of a particular city.

    If they already have the software code and libraries handy, they could perhaps implement 3D sound originating from point sources on the isometric area view (with occlusion for blocking structures). That would be a nice advancement, I think.

    Not wanting to torture myself by watching somebody else play a game I've already run through on more than one occasion, please can you tell us how far he got?

    Hey, congrats on getting married! You should write a letter to your future kids.

    There are some VR immersion therapies that are used to manage people's phobias. But I think it's better to do that under carefully controlled conditions with a skilled therapist. Playing games that are designed to initiate strong emotional responses probably ain't it.

    They can probably do a lot of interesting variants of stock D&D monsters, just to change things up and challenge people's expectations. For example, a 'whiptail spider' with a barbed appendage that can be used to spit nets of spider silk.

    Mmm... yes. I think I've seen a few of them on this forum, in fact. Anonymuse, the great deity of all trolls.

    A little unrequited love between companions A and B could be entertaining, while throwing a little social turmoil into the group dynamic.

    I enjoyed playing the Drakensang series of games and there are many elements of that system that worked well for me (with room for improvement, of course).
