    Update #24: Less than 30 Hours to go! Life and Death, and Audio CD Soundtrack!

    in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News

    Posted

    Late to the party.

     

    Ok first, necromancy is in, YEA! :thumbsup:

     

    XP reward by quest only. er, not sure, it has pros and cons. I like the idea, but not getting any xp for anything except the quest kind of takes away some of the fun. Still, it worked for bloodlines, but that was a very different type of game. Personally I think that there should be some type of reward/incentive to motivate you, but its not a deal killer.

     

    The stamina/health...hmmm, lets just call stamina shield energy so its easier to understand. I have no probme with having a regenerating shield, what I DO have a problem is there is no magic/medicine that can heal, and the ONLY way to heal your health is to rest. Which from what I read, there will be *safe* resting areas (probably inns, campsites..etc) and non safe rest areas. I am not really happy with this, It sounds like your going to have to drag your party to these safe areas or all the way back to your inn/home just to heal, otherwise you will have to take a chance on these unsafe resting areas, in which if you fight a random encounter, you will not even get any XP for. I just cannot wrap my head around there being no healing in the game, no magic? No priest to healing gods? No medicine? noda? Honestly, this sounds like its going to be a pain and suck the fun right out. I HATE having to rest in games, it breaks up the pace, now we will have mandatory resting.

     

    This will pretty much kill deep exploring for me, do I explore an area and maybe find some loot, but risk getting somebody hurt that I HAVE to drag back to a safe area so the bastard can heal by magically sleeping (time sink) it off? Oh, lets not forget respawning monsters I get to fight again for NO xp. It might not be that bad at first, but after a couple of dozen times, I am sure I will be ready to turn PE off and play something that doesn't make me want to smash the computer in.

     

    The main question should be, is this fun? Going back and forth to rest/heal, does it feel FUN or does it feel like punishment/work? Lets not forget the mega dungeon, no healing potions and only being able to do the timesink healing all the way through...meh :shrugz:

     

    Did you not play the same Infinity Engine games I did? You had, at least until high levels, very limited healing. Part of the idea of stamina is so you won't have to rest after every fight!
