So you could, at later levels, beat 12 swordsmen by yourself, not because you can survive 47 sword strikes, What I'd like to see, would be a crpg where character progression is more skill and less hitpoints. The whole Vancian magic style, the save or die spell effects, the huge loads of hitpoints.īasically I like D&D on fighter type characters, at early enough levels so not everybody is a hulking hitpoint bag. Mage opponents don't autobuff 19 protections at the start of the fight or anything like that.Īlso stuff I dislike.
The learning curve and early game are soul crushingly hard.Įxactly the kind of game I'd expect myself to hate, because I go for the stories, loved ToEE instead for some unknown reason. The so called plot is a load of turd, the setting is old style good vs evil boring bore, most (all?) quests are just bad.īut the tactical combat is pure gold, simply brilliant. It's obvious 2.x was an improvement over base game and 3.0 an attempt to improve on that, 3.5 a further polish. It's a polished system in most any iteration, not without quirks, but clearly there's more thought put into D&D than most any CRPG ruleset. I like the option of doing a stealth rogue, or swashbucklerish combat rogue/fighter, or hacks-with-axes rogue/barbarian, or rogue/priest or whatever. I like the character building, especially in 3.x with with a bunch of feats to choose from, character classes to mix and match. So if Pathfinder is better, I wouldn't know. It's not like I have tried every RPG out there though I have tried a good large chunk of CRPG's. I just like to understand opinions that differ from mine.
If Numernera can live up to the high writing standards of Torment, it will be a coup for the video game industry once again.To say more about your reasoning for liking D&D as a cRPG system? Not gonna try to convince you otherwise or anything. Hopefully this will lead not just to the production of the game itself, but numerous additional components to be released later from the same funding. With this sort of support (and many writers on board) it looks as if Torment: The Tides of Numenera will have a spectacular debut and with 28 days still to go in its Kickstarter campaign (even if the initial surge of interest plateaus) it may yet have even more money to throw around. I’d need nothing else to explain why the Kickstarter reached it’s $900,000 in almost six hours–only two days later it’s exceeded $2 million.” “However, it’s been so long that any sequel to this work of art of an RPG has touched a nerve and stroked the sense of wonder for an entire generation of gamers. “As the spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment the Tides of Numenera has a great deal to live up to,” says Kyt Dotson SiliconANGLE assistant edtior. You can kill the incarnation of your character’s mortality.You can piss off the deity-like Lady of Pain and find yourself trapped in a maze for all of eternity.This makes even less sense than it sounds. You can visit a pregnant alley prevent it from getting an abortion.You can join a cult that worships death, or a cult that believes that everybody is a god.
There are so many things that you could do in the game’s parent, Planescape: Torment. There are some playful characters that stick with you throughout the game. There’s the ghostly suit of armor with a twisted sense of justice who only joins your team if you lie to him about who your main character really is. Though they will show their dark shades now and then, and would say things you won’t agree with, you’ll find them interesting. Talking about the characters, I’m sure you won’t forget any of them. The isometric theme may appear obsolete, but is definitely appealing for Torment fans. Tides of Numenera falls somewhere between fantasy and sci-fi, where you can access an endless number of worlds. Planescape: Tormentwas a huge success and still love it, and this is quite evident from the fact that people are dishing out money, just to see a new game that carries on its legacy.
