Decline Lionheart Legacy of the Crusader

[Talby]

I just did everything I could find in Barcelona and then uninstalled the game.

I remember blowing all my disposable income on this and MOO3. What a nightmare.

I found the Lionfart install on my hdd, well hidden must say.

Constant problem with enemies coming into melee range. Other classes than melee feels clunky and need support of melee mercenary or hired character. I stopped playing melee characters some time ago and prefer ranged ones, or magic.
There is trait removing penalty for range weapons in melee range but still.

As someone mentioned before - it's not that game is h'n's outside the city + sewers, it's overwhelming feel of gave up and being filler for regulars paychecks in near future.
DNF creators and Stalker ShoC devs did that art too but for longer.

I played numerous middleware games, russian rpgs, some garbage stuff but Lionheart combat is bland shit boring.

It's kinda sad how this game sucked, I liked its setting so much.

Had BIS Developed this, it probably would have been very cool. A pity no one else has taken this kind of setting again in a turn-based RPG game.

Couldn't some crazy moder fix it?

You need an entire team of designers and content creators to even try to fix this.
Some modders, no matter how crazy, are not enough.

The beginning of this game was great, and then it just turned to absolute shit.

 

[thesheeep]

Was it ever explained why?
Probably dev running out of funds, I would normally assume.

Well no need to make it "full length" 80 hours game. But yeah, new assets would be required.

You're a pretty dumb fella, Dragula, aren't you?

There is NO content after Montaillou which barely has anything at all. Save for building half the game there's nothing else to do.

Yes yes you rant and rant a bout how content is missing, but did they ever plan more content? Or was this a failure straight from the planning phase?

Publisher cut off funds.

Dude, how should I or anyone know? You would assume that they planned SOMETHING unless there was a mischievous plan to lure people with candies to only throw them in the pit afterwards. But who knows, I could see the handsome mustachioed and elite business man above do that and hope they get good reviews given the ability of gaming journalists to only play the beginning of games.

Regardless, the point is there is no content to fix or restore in the game which is what modders usually do.

 

[Dragula]

Quick cash grab has always been a strategy used no matter what type of media, so it is a possibility that they had no idea what to do after the first city.

Summary of game
1 hour of exploring a city and discovering interesting NPCs followed by really bad combat for 20-30 hours straight.
ending in a diplomacy check or potion chugging exercise vs the last boss.
