I'm finding that no matter how I slice it (giving them more agility, giving them more stamina/mp, giving them more atk dmg) the inability to wear heavy armor makes Barbarians a clearly weaker class than Knights in my game.  And, I guess both in real life and in my game's world, this would be true:  armor provides a significant physical combat advantage; that's why it came into existence and evolved.

I like having the mechanics of my game match its backstory and lore, so it wouldn't make sense if barbarians could wear heavy armor; as barbarian tribes would not have access to this, nor would barbarian culture approve of its use.   Maybe I could have them wear light and medium armor, just not the heaviest/most protective armor.  Another issue is the sprite I use for barbarians shows them as unarmored warriors:

Our latest feature is an interview with... me?!

People4_2 (Capelet off and on) added!

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
