MasterPrudent Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfted1 Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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.

MasterPrudent Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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.

BruceVC Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Is it a RPG like a journey based RPG like BG?

Labadal Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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.

ryukenden Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollowcrown Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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.

Osvir Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Hm, interesting.

LadyCrimson Posted February 12, 2015 Share 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.
