So, I found myself in a dilemma. I didn't really want the use of magic to be a necessary investment in my game in order to have a successful party...rather, I wanted it to be a stylistic choice. I wanted magic to fulfill the fantasy of being super impactful when used at the right moments, and so I counterbalanced its power by making it very costly. After some playtesting, I realized that this wasn't actually fun...because no one likes having to be stingy with one's abilities.
So now, I'm thinking that another way to do it would be to give the use of magic a different kind of drawback. One idea I had is that after you cast a spell, you're disoriented for 1 turn and take significantly increased damage until you regain your focus. Not sure if this would work though, considering magic users are already the squishiest class.
Anyone have any cool ideas that makes the player pay some kind of price for using a spell, but which also doesn't frustrate the player and at the same time does not discourage the user from using his or her spells?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
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.
