I donated a bunch of money to that kickstarter. Did the game finally come out? I lose track of things.

ya but like dont compare because it's not, it uses the poe engine but combat, models, effects are vastly different. I thought Pillars was okay but it didn't really pull me in storywise. Torment is just so alien that it makes you feel like an actual explorer. I met an alien who's people sexual process is removing limbs to grow into children, and whatever limbs they were grown from, there's already a caste system for head children, leg children, arm children. You can't exactly forget weird amusing poo poo like that.

There are complex choices to make and complex characters, and its not exactly forgiving because every choice u make has an apparent repercussion, it's part of combat and the whole story driving forward, especially character alignment to the Tide which provides negative or positive bonuses. Pillars didn't really have too much rippling like that. If you want to get into it just for combat, which is turn based and consumes stat pools for higher chances of success u still have to deliberate because stat pools get consumed during dialogue and they don't regenerate either so every action has an impact. It's provocative and I'm gonna go play some more now, bye~

i'll probably get it then since i'm after something a bit more relaxed than Nioh which i'm insanely bad at atm.

Is the new Zelda worth palying on the wii u or should i wait for a switch price drop?

Some framerate drops but supposedly those are also present on the Switch, but less pronounced. It's w/e

numenera is based on a garbage set of rules but the video game seems more about talking and thus avoids engaging with monte cook's poo poo-tier mechanics
