Bear with me here.

An idea recently hit me with a minor change that would simplify the weapon proficiencies of the initial party.

First, you have the standard sword: one handed and can be used with a shield. Then you have katars, which are 60% as powerful, but are dual wieldable. The two-handed staff does as much damage as a sword,boosts your character's Magic.

Right now, the weapon preferences of the initial party goes like this:

  • the first PC can use sword,sheild and blades;
  • the second can use katars, shield and a staff.
  • the third is a heavy who can use two-handed hammer and a sword shield combo.
The first two characters would have skills tied to what weapon they use.

So, the idea I had was removing swords altogether, and removing the weapon requirements, making the profiencies more like this:

  • the first PC can using a katar with a shield or another katar
  • the second can use staff, shield and katars but cannot dual wield katars
  • the third would be reduced to jsut using a hammer, unless I give them a greatsword/axe that does slashing damage instead of blunt
While the skills would no longer be tied to what weapon they're holding, using those same weapons may become advantageous, instead of being a prerequisite.

The other party members don't matter so much, besides my ranger. He's gereally meant for plain combat, but he has some creature-specific magic, so I've allowed him to use wants to boost his magic rating.

My first thought is to stick with the plan that I already have, but I'd like to know what you think.

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

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.
