    Capcom Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

    In the pawn recruitment thingy dimension there are several incredibly high level pawns decked out in gear, I assume these would be completely gamebreaking to hire? Why are they there?

    RimWorld - Damned Colonists in Space

    This game has the annoying problem for me that if I turn down the difficulty I'm basically playing sandbox mode, but if I turn it up my colony inevitably collapses to some catastrophe before I get to the really cool parts of colony development.

    Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

    The game literally ends on a critique of nostalgia that uses communism as a primary example. You can read anything into anything with enough word salad, but you have to ignore pretty large chunks of the actual text in DE to make it a communist manifesto. The truth is that the political...

    KickStarter King Arthur: Knight's Tale - dark fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from NeocoreGames - Legion IX standalone expansion coming May 9th

    Archers were absolute dogshit when I played, I only played around with them for laughs. This might have changed with the recent patches though, and if it did, Low Profile is definitely valuable on an archer. Probably more so than on its natural character (Vanguard), since it's easier to meet the...

    He's one of the better end game archers specifically because of Low Profile and he has Crippling Shot. That's about it. Dunno if patches changed the above though

    What? No, it features the standard jRPG solution (your solution) of limited duration:

    KickStarter Solasta: Crown of the Magister Thread - now with Palace of Ice sequel DLC

    The latter solution isn't exactly novel - it's very common in jRPGs and often lead to buffs being either not worth spending the turn on or ridicoulously OP to compensate for the low duration - and regardless of both, annoying to use because you have to recast them all the time. I'm playing...

    That's why I wrote "in general." There are specific characters where especially fire dots can work. EDIT: Though the irony with those are that it's often because, as with Merlin, their dots are so high that they can output significant direct damage with their dots.

    KickStarter King Arthur: Knight's Tale - dark fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from NeocoreGames - Legion IX standalone expansion coming May 9th

    DoT-damage in general is pretty poorly designed. The original intention was probably to be a counter to heavily armored targets, but the problem is that the damage potential of your guys become so high spending time on dots is mostly just wasted. The encouter design knows this, mostly, so dot...

    I remembered there being more, but Darth Roxor corrected me with his more fresh memory of the game saying they're actually few and far between.
