Re: More tactical combat.

Is it really your idea of fun, to aim for a sweet spot all day long? The idea itself isn't that bad in theory, but in practice it would make the game godawful in my opinion. Numerous games use that in there combat to add twitch to them. I personally think it would make combat more engaging if there...

Re: More tactical combat.

Added this here as this seemed a better place to discuss it. And primarily it's too easy because all the non-spell attacks are simple instant clicks so only mages take any player focus with the potential of interrupting the player's strafing rhythm. Strafing gets much tougher when you have something...

Re: Why Not Bring a Mage?

Spellcraft = most of your skill points. It's not that simple. I wish we knew definitively whether or not elemental skills raised spell damage. If that's the case, spellcraft is an exceptionally bad idea with regards to efficiency. You may be able to burn through an energy bar very quickly, but it's...

Potion Crafting Bug?

Ive noticed that when you open the potion crafting box that you can place the ingredients on there and the weight stays on the character as intended I would assume, the problem is that if the ingredients would make a potion then the weight of both the ingredients + the not yet actually made potion a...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

And primarily it's too easy because all the non-spell attacks are simple instant clicks so only mages take any player focus with the potential of interrupting the player's strafing rhythm. Strafing gets much tougher when you have something else to focus on, and that's why I would personally try to ...

Re: Why Not Bring a Mage?

What's always confused me about people playing mages is why they don't invest heavily into spellcraft. Hell I tend to get about high enough in a element tree (lighting seems the best overall for the grimrock dungeon) to get its upgraded attack spell. Then the rest of the points go into spellcraft. H...
