MasterPrudent Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Stylewise that UI is awfully reminiscent of NWN2's. Combat looks pretty damn fast, almost MOBA speed. Edited February 12, 2015 by MasterPrudent
Gfted1 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Its interesting you say that because I was thinking that the combat looked much better than PoE. Just look, no dogpiles! w00t w00t. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
PK htiw klaw eriF Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 the combat looked much better than PoE That really isn't saying much. 3 "Akiva Goldsman and Alex Kurtzman run the 21st century version of MK ULTRA." - majestic "you're a damned filthy lying robot and you deserve to die and burn in hell." - Bartimaeus "Without individual thinking you can't notice the plot holes." - InsaneCommander "Just feed off the suffering of gamers." - Malcador "You are calling my taste crap." -Hurlshort "thankfully it seems like the creators like Hungary less this time around." - Sarex "Don't forget the wakame, dumbass" -Keyrock "Are you trolling or just being inadvertently nonsensical?' -Pidesco "we have already been forced to admit you are at least human" - uuuhhii "I refuse to buy from non-woke businesses" - HoonDing "feral camels are now considered a pest" - Gorth "Melkathi is known to be an overly critical grumpy person" - Melkathi "Oddly enough Sanderson was a lot more direct despite being a Mormon" - Zoraptor "I found it greatly disturbing to scroll through my cartoon's halfing selection of genitalias." - Wormerine "I love cheese despite the pain and carnage." - ShadySands
MasterPrudent Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Eh it looks pretty hack'n'slashy to me. Which is fine if that's your thing but it's not really what I'm looking for in a DnD game. Anyway, not to derail this thread too much, but I think that as of the most recent beta build PoE combat is pretty fun. 1

Keyrock Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm interested. Not nearly interested enough to pre-order or anything (I'm all done with pre-ordering anyway. I feel dirty I ever did in the past). I'd be more interested if it had been written by whoever did Orzammar in DA:O as that was the only part of that game with writing worth celebrating, IMHO. 2 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
rjshae Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) It looks good to me. Not interested in the 4v1 mode though; I'll have to read the reviews to see if the single player campaign is worth it.

Leferd Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Wondering if Feargus got the heads up regarding this game before he did the interview. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
HoonDing Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Looks better than PoE. And more importantly, fun. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
BruceVC Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Is it a RPG like a journey based RPG like BG?

Leferd Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Meh. Not interested in a Frankenstein mishmash of NWN and DA:O with questionable single player. 4 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Labadal Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I will keep an eye on this but won't form an opinion for another 10 months or so.
ShadySands Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm actually considering pre-ordering it...I know, I know. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
Labadal Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I'm actually considering pre-ordering it...I know, I know. I don't see any problem with that? I own one game these guys has worked on and it is a hack & slash for the N3DS, but I haven't played it yet. It could turn out to be a good game. I'm just pessimistic by nature.
Leferd Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Is it a RPG like a journey based RPG like BG? Do they have forums? Bruce you should create an account there and ask them if they'll have romance. 3 "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
ryukenden Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Visually, it doesn't look that impressive but since this game is a 4 player co-op with DM ruleset, this might be awesome. I missed d&d games.
hollowcrown Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 This actually looks quite exciting. Hopefully it can replicate the depth of encounters present in BG, and tell a good story too. Despite other RPGs being good fun (like NWN, Dragon Age etc.) I have never found anything as easy to replay or with as much depth as BG2. This seems more NWN inspired than BG however.

LordCrash Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Looks kind of promising to me. I will keep an eye on that one... There simply can't be enough CRPGs anyways. Edited February 12, 2015 by LordCrash 3
Osvir Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hm, interesting. It looks like the type of game genre I enjoy playing *shrug* will see what it looks like after release though.The only pet peeve I have at first impression is... only 4 characters?? Edited February 12, 2015 by Osvir 2
LadyCrimson Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 The video makes it look not half-bad, but that's not too hard to do. But in general I'm so little into RPG's these days, I think I'll pass, for now at least. “Things are as they are.
