No mention of puzzles or dungeon design?

It's not a blobber.

It's not a blubber.

So? Level design is equally important for isometric games. Otherwise it could just as well be a roguelike.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Sure, but what exactly do you expect them to write on the small leaflet regarding level design? Explore meticulously crafted dungeons and solve puzzles?

Has it been decided who is going to answer our questions about the game here? Is Alexia going to post here?

No bard or sorcerer? I hope maybe more classes and prcs are a stretch goal?

If she is the lady in the picture above I hope not for her sake. She looks too nice to have her soul destroyed.

I think they said the base game may contain only these 9 classes (all with their corresponding prestige classes) while other classes like bard would eventually come later.

That + prestige classes. Though I dunno how you can be more prestigious than a barbarian.

That's just a grumpy skald.

Without bards and multclasses, I hope it will have some good magic warrior-like prestige classes

 

[V_K]

I hope it will have an awesome button

FTFY

 

[BEvers]

It already has Wizards

Are you sure there is no multiclassing? If not, I really, really hope that's stretch goal.

No multiclassing is best way to have your players scream "Fuck you!" after playing that pure Fighter for 15 levels or so :D
If they were only smarter and went for Pathfinder rules instead...

Well, it's quite easy. You can be a fucking retarted SJW. You'll be fi sure more prestigious than a barbarian !

They talked about no multiclassing and why on their forums: https://www.realms-beyond.com/forum/index.php?topic=109

We will have prestige classes but not multi-classing. You can create your party with up to 6 members (covering 6 different classes) and multi-classing would be just too much extra development effort to implement.

Thank you for the reply. Their reasoning is dumb. Multiclassing is a core feature. Tim Caine did it with barely any money and the shortest dev cycle in the history of game development.

This is from their forum-

Since the only roadblock to adding this core, critical feature is effort - hopefully it will be a stretch goal that gets funded. Otherwise it will be more like POR:ROMD than ToEE.

EDIT - they said 6 classes and now there is 9. If they increased the classes by 50% they can add a core function of 3.5e. One of the functions that made it so good.

Ruins of Myth Drannor featured multi-classing.

 

[Sitra Achara]

It is rather puzzling. Maybe they built the d20 system in such a way that it's not trivial, but in ToEE it was a relatively simple feature codewise.
