So, I have been working on my game for about a month now, and one of the ideas I had in mind since the beginning was to provide better character customization and realism at the same time.
The way I have decided to do this was through "weapons as incomparables". What I mean by this, is that weapons, rather than getting incrementally stronger with cost and rarity like other games are instead a choice in strategy. because the setting is relatively low magic, affects where oddly vacant from the game, and so weapons provide a series of status effects and abilities based on the ones you choose, and every class has a variety of abilities for a series of weapons as they level up.
For instance, Swords are an easy to use, one-handed, versatile weapon. So a character using it has a 50% chance to perform another action of any type.
Meanwhile, a Flail's niche, is that it has a 10% chance of debuffing the opponent as it cracks bones and dents armor.
I bring this up for a couple of reasons;
1. I would like help in deciding what these abilities for each weapon will be, ideas and weapon types.
2. What other games have you seen with abilities like this, so that I can see how they pulled it off.
3. Literally any other input you can give to help me improve.

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.
