[QUOTE="bethroth00, post: 6012075, member: 6699079"] [b]Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok[/b] Well my favorite is Fate of the Norns: Ragnarok (FOTN:R for short), and I love it for a few reasons. One of the things it really gets right is a combat that plays out like a movie... Each player gets to do a lot per round, so when its your turn you can vault over a table, drop and roll between two enemies and reach out your arms and stab them each with a weapon! And even if I don't kill them, if I damaged them, they will lose some abilities from the damage they take. They will lose some runes from the runes they use from turn to turn (oh I forgot to mention, this game uses nordic runes, not dice) and so I will feel like a heroine! The combat really is cinematic and doesn't feel like a hamster wheel where everyone is just trying to reduce everyone to zero! Another thing I love about the game is that it doesn't feel like generic fantasy at all. There are NO fantasy standard memes and tropes, no paladins or fireball casting mages... the world feels unique and real. I can compare it to the witcher computer game that really felt different than what we are programmed with. In fact a glorious death is celebrated, and players have a chance to roll more options (not more powerful) with new characters which captures the Viking spirit! I dunno *shrugs* I can go on, but that's what really grabbed me and shook me... and I'm an ex-WoW & Skyrim player. I also love Pathfinder, but FOTN:R has really taken over our gaming table in style! :cool: [/QUOTE]
