This is a really good question and I remember wondering about the mysterious infinite hole even in the original - it's not like they're on a spaceship, where the whole location would make more sense! Let's see if Wookiepedia has an answer - oh god it does...

Yeah @Morrus correctly points out we'll no doubt hear more when the KS is ready (or before that), but I'm surprised they announced this when it's just a name and very vague genre. Like, unusually vague, because "dungeon crawler" tells you almost nothing about the mechanic or even the vibe -...

No, I get it, but it requires a lot of ignoring, and I don't know why exactly they decided to make the default setting so strange apart from the whims of Matt Colville (which I honestly got the vibe most of the team were not super-keen on, but YMMV on that interpretation). Again though do we...

Bah Switch 2 only. I'd be excited if it was coming out for anything more, but I don't have £400+ to drop on that, esp. given the expensive games which often go many years without significant price cuts. That said, it might still be a "killer app" if we could be sure the in-between mission stuff...

I think this assertion that it's all "on the periphery" when we're talking about default playable races and backgrounds and so on is a bit well, completely factually wrong lol. Not much nuance there. It's obviously not just "on the periphery". Plus, like 50% of the monster book is weird-as-hell...

And many times it's become horrific and nightmarish, but you seem to be discounting that. For the last 60 years we've been a few button presses away from the world very much not continuing in any sense that matters. Again I note you haven't addressed the environmental destruction/climate...

I definitely don't agree with that at all lol but YMMV. I don't think Colville would agree at all either, in fact, he stressed that it wasn't. Yet they all work just fine with a D&D and many other RPGs. Hmmm. I guess my issue here is DS! seemed to be intentionally designed not to be compatible...

Yeah I did too. If you're going to make a setting like that, you need to go for it adventure-wise, and they did.

I politely but strongly disagree, and I think your comparison illustrates it well, actually. Daggerheart is very easy, because races are essentially pick two abilities (one top line, one bottom line), combine at will, and the classes map directly to D&D classes, and the monsters are all fairly...

I've only ever seen Kickstarter-type communication as poor and limited as we got with Draw Steel! with two kinds of product: 1) Products having serious production issues, which Draw Steel! was not. 2) Products with a single creator or extremely small team, which are small-money, and are not...

Yeah this is what intrigues me, because I'm not sure there's really much unoccupied design space for this, given it's starting from the basis that Draw Steel! isn't a dungeon crawler, which implies a very narrow and specific definition of dungeon crawler, one which is extremely well-served...

That's not compatible with: Which is one of the starting points of the thread. If you just didn't use your powers, sure, and didn't actually deal with major issues, sure, it'd be very easy to keep your secret identity.

I don't think so mate. Unless there's some kind of huge and obviously AI-looking issue with Divinity (like, the art is really bland and overdetailed, and the dialogue is really space-y and odd), I don't think people will blame AI. Using AI openly like they are does lead to the risk that people...

To quote the great drag queen Mistress - "Have a blessed night, as will I!"

No, you didn't. You said: Which is not supported by your quotes from me at all. You're skipping the entire functional part. Also, you're ignoring any kind of nuance in a topic that's all about nuance. There's a difference between them knowing you could do something, and fearing you would...

No, and I don't think that's a reasonable read of what I said. What I said was: So explain to me how that's "murdering millions" lol? My point is, all their avenues of blackmail and arm-twisting terminate in harming your friends and family. They can't imprison you. They can't kill you. So...

Okay, that was a bad assumption on your part, and I don't see where you got that from, but consider that cleared up. My position is that power corrupts and the corrupt particularly seek power. I do. Not all, but most, to at least some degree. A lot of MPs are very lightly corrupt though. But...

ROFL. You've got this one nothing argument that you keep repeating. Nope. One tiny counter-argument proves nothing. It's worthless. You're pissing in the wind. Get a real argument. You haven't even produced evidence to support this claim. And no, "it has a tiny benefit so it's not bad" is a...

That's an interesting question - does power attract the corrupt or does power inherently corrupt? I tend to think both are true myself. But I could see your argument that it's just the former.

You mean the mainstream DC/Marvel heroes, right? Because outside of the mainstream, stuff like The Authority is about exactly this. This is something comics authors have been putting in since the 1990s or earlier.
