Their cliche fantasy name generator has gone into meltdown.

 

:dddddd

 

dem thighs

 

No problem with the thighs, but what's up with adventuring in heels?

The young lady is going to absolutely ruin the tension on her bowstring while carrying it strung like that, and near throttle herself if she moves that sword quickly.

Also, I hope she doesn't consider the leather bodice as actual armor. Her heart is very much exposed. But with the hitpoint inflation (seriously I thought I seen someone with 200+ hp) I doubt it matters.

I think this game is as generic as epic fantasy can get.

I wonder if Brynn Lightfingers is romanceable.

I don't understand what makes them think recycling generic fantasy trash is good for anybody.

I guess we'll see by the final sales numbers.

It's still useless and only dumbs everyone down

It seems like it's supposed to be a Toolset. A bit like NWN

 

But I would still give this a pass. I know D&D characters are a bit too squishy on level 1 but the problem with HP in D&D was always that you went from "how did this twit survive" to "shrug off a cannonball to the crotch". Neither is particularly fun or realistic.

So when you just start multiplying the hitpoints it just replaces one "not fun" for the other. If I wanted to clear rooms while vaguely keeping an eye on my health I have Diablo, Diablo II, just about any MMORPG, Torchligh, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Divine Divinity, Sacred and many others to go play. I really really doubt we need another regardless of what the market says. 

 

There's a d20 ruleset called "Grim N Gritty", where instead of getting hit dice a level, your hp is your constitution score + a level based bonus. Wizards get d4 classes get hp every 4 levels, d6 classes get hp every 3 levels, d8 classes get hp every other level and d10/12 classes get them each level. Meaning a level 20 fighter with 18 con would get 38 hp. Monsters followed a similar thing but their size added a multiplier. I think something like that would work really good for a video game. 

 

Though if you look up those rules and play with them, Wizards and Clerics are damn near godly so use them at your own risk.

So.. I just waded through ten ****ing pages of pointless garbage posts whining about how bad a yet to be released game is.

 

Could everyone who already hates this game please go somewhere else? WE GET IT, YOU HATE IT, ENOUGH ALREADY! It's ****ing impossible to read about this game with all the drama queens (wah wah this poster is enough for me to hate this game wah wah) and whiners spamming.

 

Anyone have any actual news to share (the posters were nice)? 

Could everyone who already hates this game please go somewhere else?

 

But that would completely defeat the purpose of internet forums!!!

Welcome to the 21st century internet forums! Please enjoy the drama while you are here. (Number of Twitch emotes like Kappa follows)

You should be thankful RPG veterans like ourselves have exposed this trash game so you don't have to waste your money and time on this inferior product.

Thing is, I don't think there is much hard news.

 

So we've discussed what news there is amid the sub-codexian sniping.

Even with my prior criticism I do like the way it does the DM stuff. I do hope that the ambush GM function makes it so that hidden enemies are detectable as though they are hiding. It looks like it could be a lot of fun. It's just I'm tired of having games where you can take more arrows than Benkei and be good enough to go get a cup of coffee.

Not really seeing a familial resemblance (if that's intended by common last name).

Montaron?

I want see that guy pulling sword out of tabard on his back xD

Maybe that's her husband? Do Halflings take their partners surname when they marry?

No, they are brother and sister. It looks like this game is going for the Baldur's Gate mechanic of paired companions. In addition to the two halflings, the elven cleric travels with a dwarf rogue.

Montaron?

Shouldn't Cersei be taller?

I just bought the 5E books. There's a lot good in it. It's too bad that this game seems keen in bastardizing it to all hell. Some of the stuff I see has potential but other stuff pure garabge. Not to mention the character/graphics is way too cartoony and fakish.
