Character Creation ^^ The first thing we do.

Post by sevtai »

First may I congratulate you on how fast development has gone, and how high quality the result seems to me,

A small question, but without any of posts to search for, and it may have been answered in a weekly update BUT.

Will character creation be D&D style ?? for example the dice roll's "à la" Baldurs gate and Icewind dale.

The first screen is Baldurs Gate 2, the second is Grimrock, i was hoping for a similar "Dice roll" point allocation system, but it seems to just be base stat of ten with ten point to allocate

As apposed to, randomized base stats via the dice roll, and randomized points to allocate via to dice roll

I would spend alot of time rerolling trying to get the perfect build, or take the challenge and perform NO rerolls >=D

Oh, I forgot to mention in the blog post that we now have a random name generator so you can spend (waste? :)) even more time in character generation.

I'm pretty happy with fixed+distributable stats. Random stats more or less require you to click on "Roll" for hours to get the desired stats.

Wellll i was hoping to be able to reroll base stats, which would bring it that bit closer to the real "old school" ;) even if the static allocation points were left as they are

And different races have different base stats, so im not complaining its a good system ^^

Just wish it was that little bit more "Old school" =p
