Holy crap this meme is actually real on my PC.
WTF they even stole POE's Ice elvesi
Anyone who wants to steal PoE and take out the suck is fine by me.
Even random no-name NPCs have sometimes dialogue, which reminds me of Gothic
Lots of dialogue options and skill checks. Also, cool different classes have different dialogue skills
Now I have a pretty noble elf and a dwarf fighter bro in my party
Where have I seen such a menu before mh:
The whole game has more of an ADnD feel than most indie CRPG I have played, even has Dualclassing where you level up slower. Combat on the other hand seems boring so far, my level 2 characters only have a single combat skill. Also my swindler (cha focused rogue class) only died once so far.
Seems to have at least some unusual spells
I just whish I could control the direction of that wall but you know details... .

Dodo, please. Can you post the description for the necromancer and wintermage spells? I'm really curious.

At starting level you get:
Fever (available to necromancer) - This spell sends a spell induced fever to attack its target, causing a sense of intense heat engulfing its body. Inflicts weakness, throbbing and toasting on the target
Snow (available to both necromancer and wintermage) - Conjure the very elemental essence of cold. Then throw it at someone you don't like. Deal 3-7 cold damage to the target on impact.
Stonewall (available to both necromancer and wintermage) - Sometimes all you need is a good, thick wall to solve your problems. Creates one of those, which block movement and projectiles.
I played a spellweaver who also had all of above spell choices available.

This seems pretty good,most likely will buy it if comes to gog. During me time on the codex,i have noticed one thing,if there is a meme hype for a game,the game will be good.

I have to agree - I finished the demo in 3 hours and I'm pretty much not going to buy EA because I'm not impressed.

After years of the decline, my standards for good RPG's are much lower... I mean, if is not a endless cooldown managing, gear farming in a low lethality game where everyone is a clone, worth a shot. The discussion is if Black Geyser worth be played on day one or wait till a sale and I need more info to determine it.

Honestly a lot of the PoE comparisons could have easily been avoided if only they made the hud a different color or giving it a non-wooden texture. Makes me think that the similarities are deliberate. Explains the shitty OC races too.

Personally I would, at the very least, strongly consider playing a Baldur's Gate clone called Black Gays.

Is black GEYser from gRAPE ocean.
It is made with the "not fun allowed cuz balance" mindset or not? considering how you can raise a stone wall with a tier 1 spell IDK. Seems better than Pillars.

Notice the shape of the fountain in the starting scene.
Or the shape of the meeting room table.
Yeah.

The writing seems reasonably good from the bit of dialogue and item descriptions I've seen. It has a dry-ish sense of humor and doesn't go full quirky zany mode. Shout out to the writer who was posting in this thread a few pages back.

Lots of QoL issues and the writing is absolutely cringe worthy.
Combat is pretty much low level AD&D - as a caster, you need to spam rest a lot. There's currently no rest screen and I never got attacked for sleeping outside.
