[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 4940263, member: 82504"] Animation can still be elaborate even without the mashem smashem... do a slow motion shot when you do a finishing shot on a creature... a few things of that sort could be fun. All combat involves more feints and ripostes and actions during the middle... hey I want to hear and see blades clash.... can a video game give me more than one animation for my cleave? If player choices dont seem sufficient? for 6 seconds then then maybe that is a sign about something ;0 maybe more choices need to be involved? There are a lot of people saying that more at-wills would feel better.. though for me I want situation-ally balanced useful at-wills.... Perhaps some choices that arent which button to smash... maybe how long I hold down a key could be how long I am prepping for the culmination strike. Round length are a little more your choice. Shrug a computer game can be more complicated than a p&p without it causing problems but you have to maintain the connect so you don't loose its recognize-ability and that is something worth shooting for really a balancing act I think.... DDO is certainly 3.X feeling, goofy boom now you are as good a wizard as one that went through apprenticehip and is now a hero... and all... but it also feels like they are using a chunk of the Unearthed Arcana ie it isnt limiting itself where it can improve game play to being exactly the p&p rules.
