rjshae Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Owlcat games are far from perfect, but they're good enough to pour 100 hours into each game. Perfect is the enemy of good. I am glad to see somebody tackling a tactical RPG in this setting. Some day perhaps we'll even see one for WFRP. 1 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."

Gromnir Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 next wednesday, eh? admitted am not interested in being part o' the alpha, but am gonna be positive 'bout the milestone occurring earlier than we had anticipated. sure, we saw at twitter the alpha were gonna begin before end o' the year, but am nevertheless a smidge surprised. does owlcat enforce a hardcore nda for alpha testers? if not perhaps shady (if he does alpha) shares feedback.

ShadySands Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I only get beta access with my purchase level and I'm not even sure I'll bother unless I get too curious. I want to play early but I don't want to actually test anything and I don't expect a very polished alpha.. or beta... or even release. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not liking what seems like the wound("HP") count, the most I've seen in a real game was 28, at the highest possible rank. It makes me think things are going to be spongy. It's hard to say though since we know nothing about the gear, but if they bother with even a small fraction of what is actually available to use, and if they stay relatively close to what damages are in the base game, it's going to be tanky as ****. Though I do like the veil idea. Edit; Seems he has a couple of more videos I really dislike how they've "adapted" the rules from the tabletop. I dislike Action Points, their armor absorption system seems overly convoluted compared to tabletop and they seem to have dropped the base d10 system for weapon damage. It's a shame, the ttrpg system was pretty well balanced though punishing if you did things like stand in the open.
