[Baron Dupek]

Any new spyware noted?

 

[Feyd Rautha]

I think the UI looks gorgeous, or at least as good as a UI can look in 2023.

Reviewers complain about the slow combat but how bad can it be?

 

[std::namespace]

how bad can it be?

have you played cuckmaker? amount of trash rtwp combat of the charts, worse than poe...

Least of the reasons why either of them sucked. Pillars had unfun core systems, Pathfinder ruined gameplay with kingdom management and card games. TB can't make Pillars fun, as admitted by Soyer.

 

[Humanophage]

Game is looking good, repels all the right people. Will try in 1-2 years.

 

[luj1]

Sounds like system bloat again - trademark of Owlcat

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Will check this out once it's all patched up. I haven't even finished WotR yet and they keep making more damn expansions.

 

[Shin]

I've been waiting for this one so I can play it in about a year. Hope it's good.

 

[luj1]

Have to say this has one of the worst chargens I have ever seen. It is needlessly convoluted and very unintuitive. Seems like they wanted an illusion of complexity.

 

[luj1]

Just the fact that you have 'attributes' at the very end of the chargen is poor design period.

 

[MrBuzzKill]

Even if you didn't tell me, I would somehow know the average "game magazine reviews" would amount to 7.5/10. They're that useless and lukewarm

 

[Tavernking]

Seventy dollarydoos

 

[Van-d-all]

Pretty obvious they pushed it out of the door early to get some xmas sales. Sad, given Owlcat's already bad rep with bugs.

 

[Serus]

Sounds like modern journalist being themselves to me. They simply are too lazy (sometimes to stupid) to play such games.
Bloat - yes, but it wasn't system bloat per se that is the main issue of Wokecat, rather quantity bloat.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

It's worrying when game journos are too positive.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

This one crept up on me. I didn't realize it was about to be released. I like what I saw on the game mechanics exposition a few days ago. I'll wait for the "it's finished" edition, but will definitely buy.

 

[lvl 2 Blue Slime]

Are Owlcat going back to Pathfinder now?

 

[Dr1f7]

which body type are you all playing as?

 

[Axel_am]

Are Owlcat going back to Pathfinder now?

I think they've got Starfinder planned next. I've heard they have another big IP acquired, but no additional info to that.

 

[ArchAngel]

Are Owlcat going back to Pathfinder now?

probably not.

 

[ArchAngel]

Hopefully Shadowrun.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

How good is it if you aren't terribly interested in the 40k universe? Basically just from a pure gameplay rather than lore standpoint.

OMG pleeeze let it be Shadowrun. I did like the Harebrained games but they were a bit barebones and an Owlcat Shadowrun would be much more detailed and lush.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Does this run on windows 7? if not pass.
