We get to play as Dante? Sign me up
Fuck you deeply and truly. He already is the very worst part of what is otherwise the best SMT game (unless you get the incline Maniax edition and translate it). He DEFINITELY doesn't need to fuck up anything else.
Dante can't hear you being butthurt
Well yeah, not with the intense pressure of the blowjob you're giving him.

If anyone thinks this game is going rtwp just listen to 1:25:00 of this Kotaku end of year discussion:

https://kotaku.com/every-game-kotaku-splitscreen-played-in-2018-part-one-1831231339

Everyone just dismisses Deadfire because it was rtwp because they played Divinity first. Btw they don’t even know the style is called rtwp, like what??? Isn’t Jason over 40 shouldn’t he have grown up playing the 90s games that inspired Pillars of Eternity?

They don't play video games, they're games journalists.

That article is worse than this whole thread.

"You miss a lot in D&D - if the dice are bad, you miss," he says. "That doesn't work well in a game. If I do that, you are going to review it and say it's shit."
It's going to be so shit. Damn.

He is probably right; all games journalists need to be shot.

Seriously fuck those previews and fuck this studio. Has there been any other game that was annoucned that attempted to obsfucate how its gameplay going to be like? When games are announced, the first piece of information is usually how the game is going to play like etc is it a shooter/action/adventure/isometic/3d? This might be a strategy game for all we know because they did not want to confirm anything.

It will be like the HBS game. You will have 3 flavours of "Yes, sir. Three bags full, sir!" and nothing you say or do will matter because you WILL be a sjw shitstain. The woke calls it "immersive RPG".

Luckily i've read some news on some niche indie rpg site https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.p...-verticality-and-dynamic-environments.128338/ . Those guys does not frown upon talking about the gameplay, shilling for that now .

I do agree that the dice roll needs a little tweaking when being adapted to a PC game. Especially in the early game.

However remove the dice roll completely is retard and I don't think they are stupid enough to do it. And if they do no one will be happy and the jounalist will turn against them in a second because "Larian butcher the dnd" despite they never care about it in the first place.

There isn't a single character in the party, so "tweaking" the dice rolls isn't something I have a lot of faith in. And Magic Missiles never miss.

This is ill boding. Obviously Larian doesn't understand the appeal behind D&D. Being a weak character in the beginning is part of the fun and was done so by original Baldurs Gate. Also overcoming this weakness by optimizing your character to hit more often is just part of the whole D&D Experience. I have no fucking clue what game they want to make, but it does sound nothing like Baldurs Gate or D&D, Setting apart.
