Well I'm glad any part of all of that was helpful. Kinda just wanted to chat about the game at the time. Hard to sometimes, if they've got tiddies in them.
I also had opinions about the 'relative stat' system used. But I feel that that's basically just backseat developing, which I don't want to seem like I'm doing, cause it's rude. Though I will state that it essentially means that the ideal build as I see it, is just to set 3 stats and forget it. Like the Characters seem to be doing. As even temporarily dipping into another stat, say to grab a trait, is basically just wasted points in the end, as every level devalues those points more and more
But I mean it is a pretty unique and creative system, as far as I'm aware. Probably just used to more traditional stat systems. It definitely encourages specialization. Which isn't a bad thing. Makes sense to punish people for trying to be good at everything at once. Also solves someone grinding forever early game and then going into the later game able to pass every skill check. Takes a bit of the joy out of leveling though. There's not a lot of consideration as to where I'm putting these points. I got 3 stats Possibly don't understand it really. I'm not really a 'build' person anyway. I just failed a skill check in a stat I was also investing in and got my feelings hurt :(
So y'know, what have you, maybe I just need to get stockholmed into appreciating it more.
And hey gonna backseat develop some more I guess, I think the combat would be greatly improved just by even temporarily including like, Four/five combat sounds/visuals. One for damage dealt. One for damage Taken. One for a buff. One for a debuff. One for a heal. No need to rush for anything unique.
Just something to make it readable at a glance what's going on. Floating number type things could also help, someone gets healed, you get a big number that's whatever color you deem means healing pop up above their head/name. So on. If you're trying to avoid things like that, understandable.
This probably isn't the place for this tbh, should join a discord or something instead of vomiting into a comment section. I just have Opinions. And oh, look its long again whoops.
