![]() This is just my opinion alone, solely, nothing else, but I feel that in this regard Relic has become more of a video game and less of a roleplaying game. I grumbled over that and muckled on, but then I found that more and more I disliked having to take talents that didn't fit with my character in because they're grouped in a template. However, the concept of him having the cold, dead stare of a cold-blooded predator is incompatible with my view of him (and chromatic dragons in general, but that's neither her nor there). In a pinch, to save a life, he might use his elemental breath. ![]() He's a lovely old eccentric, kind, and gentle. I have a dragonkin character, for example. I mean, one of my favourite mods for Torchlight was one that removed the tree, rebalancing it so that each option was worth picking, and with only a scant handful of instances of requirements ( you need this to get this). That's just my opinion though, and one many might not agree with. What made Glaive singularly and uniquely awesome was that it seemed to go for the realisation that I'd always had: talent trees suck. Where Relic fails me here are the hierarchical talents which are grouped. As a roleplayer, if I ever feel forced to do something that I feel my character wouldn't do? That takes me out of the game and immediately puts me off the system. This is why the rules I use have to accommodate for that. It's really the only thing, and it's lead to me trying to house rules a patchwork monstrocity hybrid of Glaive and Relic.Īs a roleplayer, my brain is incompatible with hierarchy and grouping. I'm sure it has its place, and people like it, it's just that it isn't especially compatible with me which is why I've stuck with Glaive. Why? I suck at balancing and there's one thing about it that really disagrees with me and plucks at my mind. The thing is? I love Relic, I want to adopt it, I can't. Then again, this could just be me being an empathetic baby. ![]() It's awkward, as I'm really fond of all of your games (and Atomic Robo!) so I don't want any of my thoughts to come over as mean, ever. As a creative myself, with a partner who also is, I know how crushing even light criticism can be.
