I wonder if they've changed the attributes to actually do something in this one.
It was already confirmed that attributes provide small bonuses for different stuff in this game.
That was so lazy again tbh.
They changed em from doing absolutely nothing to being insignificant.
Weapon jumps from 20 to 40 damage and you get 3 bonus damage from attributes.
I still believe you'll be able to get some fun by going turbo autistic min-maxing the hell outta of them, but we will have to wait to see it.

Yeah, depends if they mean small bonuses overall or small bonuses per point.

The latter would mean an end game character is going to be noticeably stronger regardless of gear, much like the classic Gothic titles.

Going back to what stats did in G2 is fine for me, although the difference between crit/hit could be tuned a bit to make the game less easy after you get certain stats / weapons (without getting rid of the signature abuse combos that allowed you to kill anything in g2 and elex, of course)

Better if you are a noob, worse if you have any understanding of timing and positioning in combat.

I've seen the videos on the new combat system, and it seems to me pretty much the same as in all PB. Maybe somewhat more responsive and distinctive when it comes to dodging and parrying. But frankly, I don't much care. The strenght of their games has always been the exploration, the going on the adventure. Looking forward to this game.

I wonder if different armors will have different effects and additions to characters this time around rather than being pretty stagnant as they were last time, if I recall correctly. I.E. certain armors enhance certain playstyles, or can be modified.

I have no evidence to support this claim, yet I can say with 100% certainty that they will not.

Yeah one of my big disappointment with Elex was there was no lategame armor quest that topped faction armor like in just about every pb game ever. Setting seemed right for acquiring some Alb suit of armor towards the end.

Alb armor was added with one of the patches. But you obtain it very, very late (within the Ice Palace).
