Those portraits are fucking ugly.
For now...I think it's worth mentioning that this appears to be a PC-exclusive.
fix.Screenshots sure do look pretty. Shame it's RTwP and banal shit boring high fantasy setting though.
The hate in that thread is giving me a hard on.
So did NWN. And Dungeon Siege. And many other terrible games.
Perkel: Where have you been for the last 10 years..?:
Almost every shovelware action RPG is top down.
I don't see anything whatsoever that seperates this "tactical combat" from standard co-op fare so far. Do you?
Look to the Neverwinter MMO or Demon Stone to see what "adaption of D&D rules" means. The very fact that they're saying "adaption" probably means it will look nothing like actual 5E rules.
Most co-op games don't have NWN-style tilesets.
Some are saying they're "optimistic." Right now I see 0 reasons to think that it will be anything but shit. I'm an optimistic guy. I like hoping for the best. So if someone can quote just one tidbit to make me optimistic about this game, my attitude will change in a second.
5th edition D&D is shit.
How many Quickslots Baldurs Gate have?
Is it really too much to ask that a D&D game be fricken turn-based like the actual ruleset!?? Now that we see this is what WotC has in store for a 5th Edition CRPG - I fear that Obsidian's potential upcoming Pathfinder CRPG is our last hope for a proper turn-based, single-player focused D&D game. Please Obsidian, if you're listening, make it turn-based! And with a toolset.
This Sword Coast thing might be "good for what it is" - but it's not going to be D&D.
Yup. Frankly it is really weird big publishers don't have AAA turn based games in their portfolios. Everyone wants Skyrim numbers but strangely enough no one seems to care about even bigger Pokemon sales. General public is in no way prejudiced against turn based systems, why are publishers?I really think these marketing grads masquerading as game executives, grossly underestimate the appeal there is in the turn-based gaming. Divinity Original Sin held the top spot on Steam for a month with only word of mouth marketing - there is an audience.
