Instead of rolling for passive and crits separately (like in AoD), we'll go with a single roll and 4 outcomes:

• Miss
• Graze (half damage)
• Hit
• Critical Hit (damage X modifier, which is 1.25 (default) + feat bonus)

Basically, something like this:

• 1-5 critical hit
• 6-70 hit
• 71-80 graze
• 80-100 miss

By default CS range is 5 and Graze range is 10, but they can be modified by certain weapons and attacks. For example, a shotgun would have a much wider graze range than a pistol.

!! Looks like VD took something from PoE after all.

The difference is that these mechanics will actually amount to something in gameplay terms, since they are using a proper turn-based system.

I wouldn’t call someone with one released RPG a veteran. I was asked to write a couple of characters for an unreleased indie RPG but I’m too busy with the CSG at the moment (I expect this moment to last a couple of years) and had to decline

I sit in front of my computer all day, basking in the healing glow of the monitor. It's an exciting and glamorous lifestyle, like being a rockstar only without the fame, drugs, or groupies. As for working with remote team members, it's very easy. I hate group meetings since my corporate days so we don't have any. Each person knows what he's supposed to do; when there's something to discuss, we discuss it. That's all there's to it.

Only through dialogues. Animating numerous cutscenes would require resources we don't have. Apparently, Bioware doesn't have them either.

They don't have the human resources. LOL
