Are they still saying it'll look like this? Yeah, right.

'Developer' commentary - A convenient way to hide your lack of any meaningful progress since the last update...

I was having déjà vu watching it with the sound off at work and went back and read the update text and was like "Oh."

Seems like a weird/silly system.

I mean I'm all for some Monty Python in my Monty Haul...

Wow, those dancing portraits look ridiculously stupid and cheap. Static ones with simple highlights would be better, would take less work too.

It`s temporary, the game looks quite atmospheric but I`m not that intrested in it tbh, seems a bit childish and this combat mechanics aren`t my thing.

For fucks's sake, how many more people are going to use this avatar?!

Ash , Grampy_Bone , RangerBoo and now Tyrion8338

On topic- did they seriously just re-release the same shit combat clip from 3 months ago but with different voiceover?! And the bit 'Our grid is a series of nodes, but you can totally map it with graph paper, honest!' sounds terrible.

I enjoy a combat system with depth, and conflicts that are long drawn out affairs. Has a woody quality to it. Quick combat seems dreadfully tinny.

I am sure player's characters will be moddled in 3D and given speech and combat animation.

Of course their appearance will not change depending on their armor and weapon equipped.

This is what I'm talking about. Classic design with modern technology.

Combat looks better than I thought it would but this is Fargo we're dealing with. Gotta be careful.
