Rostere Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Looks really awful. Seems like they are trying to milk money off people who like RTwP. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Volourn Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Looks like it could be fun. Maybe. Edited February 12, 2015 by Volourn DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Noviere Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Based on what they've shown, it looks pretty good! Edited February 12, 2015 by Noviere

I thinks that's a pretty bold assessment on an early one minute teaser video... That's one minute teaser video and information on their website. If you can't see that this looks like an awful game then maybe you have bad taste in games? In that case, just go ahead and pre-order it "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
Starwars Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Not gonna judge at this point but just looks-wise it looks bland as hell. I don't want to go back to the NWN style of 3d graphics for realtime w pause, urrrgh. Still, hope it'll be good. Wish it wasn't D&D but what can you do? 1 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0

Endrosz Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I wish I could trade Divinity: Original Sin for this game.

Zoraptor Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Meh, sounds like NWN 1.5 and I loathed NWN. Will pay mild attention (primarily for potential lulz), expecting tepid at best SP and lots of dlc baiting MP emphasis. 2

The only similarities I see are in the setting and the perspective. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
archangel979 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) It seems it will have cooldowns. I don't like that. Probably only loosely based on D&D rules which means we get crap games like Neverwinter or D&D Online. Only 5 races and 6 classes.. I bet those 6 classes will not have subclasses like in D&D and will lack most abilities and spells. And they are going to sell more classes with small DLCs and milk us for all we got.

rjshae Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I'm guessing they'll be Dwarf, Elf, Human, Halfling, and... Half-orc? What's the alternative to cooldowns? Uses per day? Meh, same diff really. "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
Tigranes Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Uses per day is quite very different from cooldowns... come on, I don't need to write a paragraph on that, right? I think this is only based on D&D 5E and not fully D&D? A bit confused on that.

Meh, same diff really. Maybe like in PnP. WTF you make a D&D game and change its basics. And if cooldows are so fun, PoE is full of tho.. ups it is not! Cooldowns kill strategy and only leave tactics for combat. I can understand with these guys being DAO and ME devs decided to use cooldowns but I still don't like it in my D&D game. I at least hope character building options are going to be complex but I am afraid they are not. Edited February 13, 2015 by archangel979
Leferd Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Curious what engine they're using and how long this has been in development. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Woldan Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 This looks quite good actually. Not nearly enough information to form a valid opinion on it though. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

LordCrash Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Uses per day is quite very different from cooldowns... come on, I don't need to write a paragraph on that, right? I think this is only based on D&D 5E and not fully D&D? A bit confused on that. In the IGN interview they say it's "based" on D&D 5E so I guess they have at least some freedom here. And IIRC Baldurs Gate wasn't a "100%" implementation of D&D E3 neither. Either way, they have some "old" (pre-DA2/ME2) Bioware talent on board, so I'm mildly optimistic: Dan Tudge -> former game director and executive producer of Dragon Age: Origins Ross Gardner -> former technical director of Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age: Origins and Neverwinter Nights Jay Turner -> former author of Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect
rjshae Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Uses per day is quite very different from cooldowns... come on, I don't need to write a paragraph on that, right? Right, but five uses per day is five charges followed by a day long cooldown, is it not? At least from a distance there's not that much difference. Breath weapons useable every N rounds? Is that not also a cooldown? Cooldowns have been around from well before computer games. So why the dislike? It's just a balance mechanic. The alternative, I suppose, are either unreliable powers, powers with a backlash, powers that rely on a limited resource, or powers too weak to be unbalancing when used every round. 2 "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats."
