That interactivity

 

[Curratum]

DIP MY BOW INTO THE FIRE...

Ok folks, I'm out of here...

 

[TwoEdge]

Divinity elemental shenanigans really don't fit in here, disappointing.

 

[Theodora]

And he died after another broken hitchance.

*I note them complaining about the game being too different from D&D, and too similar to Divinity; but also that there are level 1 misses based on bad dice rolls*
*I think hard about this.*

apt name huh

 

[Tyranicon]

Oh god that acting.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Actually I wonder if this has two combat modes, turn-based and RTwP. Because why you would say "Turn-based" there.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
They're not in combat in that screen shot — I think you can toggle between turn-based/real time when out of combat. Notice it's missing(and replaced with "IN COMBAT") in the combat photo.

rusty was right again

 

[Zayne]

I take my words back. It's beautiful. And it has potential to be both AAA and Incline.

 

[Turuko]

is dipping actually in D&D?

 

[Drowed]

Well, D:OS3 with D&D rules isn't that bad, this means the combat will be better for sure.

I mean, for sure. Right?

 

[Delterius]

is dipping actually in D&D?

ofc you can dip anything into guac

 

[nyjsu]

DOS with 5e ruleset? Sounds great.

 

[Tacgnol]

is dipping actually in D&D?

If the GM allows it.

 

[Reinhardt]

So much butthurt from rtwp fags.

 

[Lacrymas]

The combat looks like a faithful adaptation, why are you people not content? The set-up is too epic, but you win some, you lose some. I'm hoping you get to do more typically adventurous things after you get away from the illithids.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

So your PC + 3 companions in party.

 

[Alienman]

is penis dipping in?

 

[BinaryForest]

is dipping actually in D&D?

It's a pen and paper RPG, you can do anything if your DM isn't boring. Larian's goofy "set everything on fire" approach to environmental effects fits my actual D&D experiences more than anything else really.

 

[Reinhardt]

Building stairs and cutting bitches. THUG LIFE!

 

[Strange Fellow]

Aaaand non-RNG weppens are in. OK, I'm satisfied.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Yeah looks like 4 man party

Otherwise looks like a perfectly cromulent D&D game.

 

[sullynathan]

That sweet interactivity that codex wants yet complains when they get it

 

[Tyranicon]

I take my words back. It's beautiful. And it has potential to be both AAA and Incline.

Huh, I guess Larian is actually AAA now.

I reserve judgement for now.

 

[Hellion]

Swen is a comedy mastermind.

 

[Spectacle]

Even D:OS-like combat is better than any RTwP-adapted D&D abomination.

From what i see in live footage its not DOS combat its real D&D combat with all its perks, truly by the book. Was expecting a betrayal but now its most incline thing since 20 years….

Almost by the book. For example the Special Attack like Pin Down for each weapon type is something that was trialed in some of the 5E playtest versions, but didn't make it to the PHB. Seems like they're bringing back a few more complex parts of the playtest material that's better suited to a CRPG.

 

[Lindire]

All of the spacing in terms of seconds does seem to indicate that RTWP is not out of the picture, or am I missing something?
