BruceVC Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Latest trailer for Vampire: Swansong, its looking good and has some nice RPG mechanics, like skills advancement, so its more than just a narrative RPG 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

I'm mildly curious about it but yeah, I don't care about BL3 at all at this point - not sure I would even get excited about a BL4 - and my expectations would be low. But maybe we could check it next Xmas, when hubby usually feels like revisiting the series. 1 “Things are as they are.

Lexx Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Had the same issue, but I assumed that happened because I didn't went the way the game wanted me to (visited other areas first, etc). I skipped that horse-guy until I was already level 60 or something. Edited March 28, 2022 by Lexx 1 "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

The Council did have RPG-like skill trees, but I wouldn't have called it a RPG. The dialogue battles sound similar to what The Council did, they were the "combat" in the game. You had a variety of choices on how to proceed, depending of what skills you possessed and information had gathered, and attempts to influence your opponent weren't guaranteed to succeed, again depending on your skills. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I have never heard of The Council but that looks like exactly what they doing in Swansong Its looks fun and has more traditional RPG mechanics than Coteries which was great but thats a " real " narrative RPG "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Meh, always online, they can go **** themselves with a spiked bat. 1 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

He was also completely wrong about Doom: Eternal issues. He doesn't have too much weight with me when it comes to RPG-likes (he rarely covers them) and from what he said it is very possible that he played the game in the most boring way possible. With WW being on gamepass there is really no reason not to check it out. It's downloaded already so will probably give it a go tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
