    There must be a church in the game that reacts to such heretic statements with ultra violence

    The adventurer's hall and possible party compositions is what will keep the replay value up. I personally don't worry about wether another character could take precedent over mine in the narrative, but that should be easy to avoid anyway. In all likelihood, there will be something about the main character that makes him so shpeshul he will certainly stand out, narrative-wise.

    Increases in power and awsumness should by made visible by your beard growing longer.
  4. Sacred_Path
    100% of all players complain about level scaling because they want to show their awsumness against low-level foes 100% of all players want their awsumness recognized by the game by having low level foes stay away

    I can totally see the final cutscene where your party withdraws to the hills, to wage a guerilla war against overwhelming odds. Or to become hermits, whatever.

    Brigands always wanting money. Don't they have dreams and aspirations like all of us?

    I prod thee gently.

    derp-wielding

    I'd much rather they limit/ eliminate rest spamming. In that case you don't want to cast all your buffs right away all the time.

    Mods: feel free to merge this thread with some other about classes. IMO, overall balance is more important than synergies, but I see your point. I'm coming from the angle of the completionist/ collector, and I don't want to end up always playing with exactly one paladin, one chanter, one priest and one [caster] to get all the buffs there are.

    I hope that in PE, every additional party member can add something useful to the party. Don't make too many class abilities non-stackable; it should make a difference if you have one, two or three bards or paladins in the party, rather than profiting from only one of them at a time. If that means making these class abilities more offensive rather than defensive/ passive, so be it. Of course this also has some overlap with the skills issue, like having different conversationalists/ scouts etc.

    I'm all for encounters that your party has no realistic chance to win. One thing I fondly remember is killing the battlemages and their guards in Realms of Arkania 2, it was supposed to be impossible but you could do it with lots of potions and poisons. They were supposed to take a certain object of yours but if you managed to kill them you'd eventually end up with two of them. A bad example is killing the dragon on the starting island in MM7, it was tedious to do but possible and made it possible to gain artifacs that you shouldn't have at that point in the game. No uber loot for nigh-impossible encounters, it only makes it mandatory for experienced players to save-scum their way through.

    Well, then you should play Grimoire. But, you can't kill any children in Grimoire. Immersion broken.

    I'm not faulting them for it, only pointing it out for those interested (like me), because obviously their posts attract the most interest.

    Are there DnD lore precedents for evil gods punishing/ tormenting loyal and succesful followers when you'd expect them to reward them? Are there deductible reasons for this?
  16. Sacred_Path
    I'd like to see a Dave Gemmel (RIP) character immortalized in a game. Admittedly cheesy, yes, but he really could write unapologetic, me-against-the-world characters. Then again I am betting my ass that the blacksmith in Skara Brae in Ultima 7 was based on Druss.

    There are no dev comments in the threads in Osvir's second post.
  18. Sacred_Path
    People will keep coming back to this for about 10 years, 15 with mods. About the same as Wizardry 8
  19. Sacred_Path
    Just a thought... are evil gods actually as one-dimensional as their followers tend to be?
  20. Sacred_Path
    Stackable potions bound to hotkeys are the epitome of evil. That is all.
  21. Sacred_Path
    Though I feel the same "obligation" I am sure that this is nothing but an option. You can do the game quite easily wihtout stealing from every house in all cities. Of course you could do without, but the cities were clearly designed with this in mind. It was lazy and I took offense to that. Now, if breaking and entering was made into a mini-game, with guards, guard dogs, and actual sneaking from shadow to shadow, it could be tolerated (if there are fewer and more valuable targets).
  22. Sacred_Path
    But will the MMO use level scaling?
  23. Sacred_Path
    Godlike races are a gamble, if they're just another race it's pointless to have them. I don't like how trivialized they are in DnD. The (dis)advantages should be more drastic.
  24. Sacred_Path
    I can't remember the source, but I'm sure I've read there is no alignment, not just no alignment metre. If they took out alignment, I am expecting they'll also have no cheesy black/white mentality in regards to the story, or else you can just leave alignment in. At most I think there will be some kind of karma. ThaIt also with some certainty means there are no swords that can only be held by evil people, no "destroy the world" ending, and your paladin won't change into a sack of potatoes because he said the wrong thing or murdered a kitten.

    For what it's worth, the threads in the OP with dev feedback are: under GAME OPTIONS, called Hardcore Gaming, Poll on page 3 under MISC, called Osvir's Note: Based on AD&D? on page 1
