RevBlue Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think its really weird there is no actual fear effect in the game, from spells and what no, currently frightened or terrified effects just cause some "meh" penalties. Why didn't the devs make it so people with those effects actually run away with fear, like in the origianl IE games, plus it just makes sense. All in all I actually fell a lot of the spells in this game just feel interchangeable and it just makes it feel like the spell selection is a lot smaller than it is.... :-/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knownastherat Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Possibly because the devs did not want you to chase freaked out mobs around the map 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavemandiary Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Possibly because the devs did not want you to chase freaked out mobs around the map Tenous grasp bro afaik its the only ability that makes enemies terrorized.

Duncan Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 No, plenty of spells from multiple classes terrorize enemies. Mostly available on the later levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Catharsis Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The think is, the "fear" in this game doesn't work as the common "i rune everywhere" effect that we find in most games. This one apply a debuff on you (or on the monster) that lower a part of his defesive stats.

gkathellar Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The development has generally swayed away from debuffs that make you lose control of your character for an extended period of time, with some exceptions. Confused is probably this game's equivalent of old-school fear. 1 If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdphys Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Because of Disengagement, random running away is really a bad idea, making the fear effect of IE times OP. Imagine your party swarming a slow mob with disengagement as it slowly lumbers away... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know...thats the point I was making that disappoints me Because of Disengagement, random running away is really a bad idea, making the fear effect of IE times OP. Imagine your party swarming a slow mob with disengagement as it slowly lumbers away... I guess thats one reasonable reason, still sort of waters down the entire spell casting experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee-Jay Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 This is one of the reasons why the game-mechanics remain so opaque for casual players. Most buff and debuffs just affect the stats in some way or another. Very few actually have a tangible effect in game. That's disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
