This is the Codex, where everything is shit. The only real question is how it rates on the shit scale.
The worst case scenario will be for TtoN to just be mediocre all around. I don't care for bugs or imbalance, all I care is that it has glimpses of brilliance here and there.
Theres no one here with a Sensuki-esque connection to the game to go batshit if it doesn't turn out well.
Dismal failures hahahaha ... Edgy much?PS:T was always a case of good writing - bad gameplay, so I think shitty gameplay is to be expected to some degree. It's anyone's guess whether or not the writing will save it.
That said, the dismal failures of Wasteland2 and Pillars of Banality has lowered the codex expectations enough that TToNs failure will just be another blip on the radar. We have a new crop of indie heroes to lavish our affections on. The age of MCA is over.
You can't min-max.
No XP for kills.
"Level up" features six levels and you'll only gain 5 more abilities for your class and 5 for your focus.
And what if it will?ToN won't live up to the expectations.
If you say there is not min maxing I think you have not played or run Numenera. I ran 2 campaigns and there is certainly min maxing.Yeah, but I don't think people are going to be all that picky about a system in a game where most combats are full of heavily scripted suis generis stuff.
Well if they're adapting the system from Numenera that means:
You can't min-max.
No XP for kills.
"Level up" features six levels and you'll only gain 5 more abilities for your class and 5 for your focus.
Also they've stated the game is short as balls and entirely designed around replaying it.
Losing one pool only gives a small penalty. And pools are not the only thing to min max, it is super easy to get lots of Speed defense at start, some spells are pretty OP (like Stasis) and there are combinations like being able to see in the dark + being able to remove light in the area. Also you can get lots of armor with few combinations making you almost immune to physical damage.If you min-max in Numenera you're fucking dumb though. You can take damage on all of your pools so you can go from fine with 30 might but then you take 9 int damage and boom, debilitated.
The likeness of it happening is none, we all know Grimoire is the perfect Cleve given cRPG to end all others and we all know it willThe worst thing that could happen to The Codex would be for ToN to be the perfect CRPG. There would be nothing left to talk about. The likeliness of this happening is very slim, but not impossible since they did decide to make the game turn based.
