Sedrefilos 2,092 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Sawyer answers a question about spells in his tumblr. I though it was interestingomondo so I'm posting it here for those who want to know (some) stuff about spells and spellcasting. https://jesawyer.tumblr.com/post/163951614351/are-spells-going-to-be-revamped-or-changed-because 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rjshae 9,350 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I don't think he has elaborated on the new armor Penetration system. I wonder how it can be any simpler than the current system? Maybe they've eliminated different DRs for different damage types? Quote "It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats." Link to post Share on other sites
PangaeaACDC 216 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Tangent perhaps, but excellent news they have changed to .xml files (hopefully for a LOT of stuff), and hopefully that means a more logical structure to them too. Should make it easier to mod the game, even without "proper" modding support, at least straightforward stuff like changing items and spells and such, and presumably introducing new ones. We can at least hope. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PugPug 159 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Long cast spells have a much longer cast time than in Pillars 1 and are vulnerable to being interrupted and lost. That's new. Previously, interrupted spells just took longer to cast. Now you can forget them by being hit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DexGames 569 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 More like if you can cast 2 Fireball Spells, & got interrupted doing so : The Spell will be considered as "used" anyway. So you'll have 1 Fireball left to cast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PugPug 159 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) More like if you can cast 2 Fireball Spells, & got interrupted doing so : The Spell will be considered as "used" anyway. So you'll have 1 Fireball left to cast. Right, however you imagine the new casting system to work instead of memorization. Magic mojo being harmlessly discharged into the ether or whatever. Blowing your magical load. Edited August 14, 2017 by PugPug Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smjjames 466 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I think you meant to post on the other thread, and what is coll/coil animations? Aloths side bangs seem rather stiff though, particularily noticeable when he leans forward to read the grimoire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smjjames 466 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I mean those side bits which are capped off with a gold or copper, um, hairclasp, or whatever you call it. Pretty minor detail that won't really be noticed most of the time anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
