Guys i want you to know that i was a big fan of larian studios because of divinity 2 the dragon knight saga and i can honestly say now that i am seriously disappointed.Instead of making what people loved you give us isometric view and turn based combat?
well... i am sorry but i will not be buing this game.
We have had "action RPG's" for over a decade now with everything being pretty much a shooter with stats and story. The golder era of RPG's were predominately turn based games with strong tactical game play.
While there is most certainly a place for action RPG's, they have been done to death, taken to MMO levels, regurgitated with clone after clone to insanity.
It is time to have some turn based strategic games where your stats are more than key press boosts, where the player must consider the wide array of their skills and talents to defeat an encounter outside of physical stamina.
Who knows, maybe another run on turn based games will produce new ideas to later develop more real time tactical hybrids that you enjoy.
So while I understand your disappointment, keep in mind many of us have been disappointed for a very very long time now.
It is time for some change.
