[PCGAME] The Temple of Elemental Evil

[Ashrem Bayle]

This looks to be quiet a gem. http://www.troikagames.com/toee.htm

It seems to have mostly flown under the "hype radar".

EDIT - Wow. I found a huge FAQ!

EDIT2 - After reading through the FAQ, it definatly looks to incorporate 3e rules much better than Neverwinter Nights. It even has Item Creation feats.

Wow.. 37 views and not a single post.

Fine... I didn't want to talk about it with you anyway.

 

[Welverin]

It's not that we don't like you or don't want to talk to you about it, it's just that we already discussed it in two other threads already.

Plus I didn't get around to checking out the liniks yet.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Oh crap. I guess that's what I get for not checking out the software forum much.

 

[mmu1]

Eh... I was the first one to post about this game on the Software Forum, and it was a good thing when it got a reply a day. The people around here are a bunch of slugs.

The UberFAQ they link to looks interesting... Need time to digest it...


Heh... by the way, I just remembered, I have my first ToEE gripe - the lead designer mentioned having a favorite PnP character whose AC "actually went up when he was caught flat footed, because he had a Dex penalty."

currently vary enthused for this game, but its a while off I beleive so I may beocme less enthused as time passes, and more info is released.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Actually, as I understand it, we only have a few months to wait. At least, I think that is what I read. Something like June or July. They seem to be close to completion.

When I want something that's a long time to me.

Still I've never seen an ontime game so I expect this to be delayed at least a few months.

Agreed

Heya:

I agree. My view of reality would be shaken to the core if the game actually comes out in June. Come to think of it, I'm surprised anyone actually narrowed it down to a specific month. My experience is that companies give a season, and then try to release it before the first day of the next season.

Looking forward to the game, of course, for one big reason: turn-based combat. Everything else is nice but if they can get fun tactical turn-based combat going, I'll be happy.

Take care,
Dreeble

Personally, I think small-scale tactical turn based combat is a woefully overlooked genre in videogames. The Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre games and Final Fantasy Tactics both proved that it was not only interesting but also incredibly addictive. I can't help but nearly swoon at the thought of such a game being made with D20 rules.
