[throwaway]

retarded character designs from the Numenera tabletop game.

Do elaborate.

You don't understand, Numenera takes place so far in the future that the items we use in everyday life appear to the denizens of Numenera as mysterious and magical artifacts.

Presumably the people in these screenshots unearthed some well-preserved cosplayer outfits in some ancient ruins.

Isometric it is, art does look cool, but how the hell do you deduce the rest? TB-combat is obvious, but it's not obvious it will be really good. Need gameplay video.

There's going to be like 12 encounters in the entire game.

They've also spent a lot of time thinking about the story—I don't know this is the same thing as a well though out story.

Riiiight, you mean like 12 per map. I would not even bother to design a combat system for 12 encounters.

Spoiler

Like they did in the original Torment

I really want to see more combat.

I fear that it's essentially the Wasteland 2 combat with melee focus.

"Wasteland with Spells"

 

[Redeye]

Ok, so Gamma World (6E) crossed with Dying Earth. Plus some Dan Simmons stuff (Hyperion cantos/Illium-Olympos).

Not a bad mix.

So what do you expect the people of Numenera to wear instead?

The shit they wear in the computer game? Or clothes they wear other illustrations besides this one? I was exaggerating a bit, since the pictures I posted are literally the worst pieces in the entire book.

 

[VioletShadow]

For all we know that's exactly what people will be wearing a billion years from now. Maybe nothing at all, with suparskin that you can just upgrade :D

 

[Hegel]

So what do you expect the people of Numenera to wear instead?

Well, for starters the future looks grim. I mean, why there are only diversity kids?
Furthermore, the guy is almost naked despite the ground being covered in snow, seriously?
