A couple of points...
On the risk vs reward thing their current brainstorming on the matter isn't a plan engraved in stone. THey plan to test it out and tweak to make it more/less harsh as needed till they find the happy medium where getting PK'd i…
It's actually more complicated than that. EA has the trademark on the name Britannia being used in the context of the fantasy land in a videogame. You are protected if you are making a videogame about actual real world Britain but asides from that t…
Richard I found the card based combat system proposal interesting and alarming.
I liked the idea as you described it as building a deck being similar to going through combat drills so those manoeuvres come more easily to mind, but the system propos…
Richard the new cloth map look for the overworld layer looks great. There is of course some remorse about the absence of the more realistic looking explorable overworld map with you character running around being chased by other roaming encounters, …
Richard I love the return of the text parsar to allow conversing with the NPC's without putting words in my mouth. But I am concerned about the lack of a menu interface for selecting replies causing some problems, both for those turned off by the ty…
Richard in early hangouts you described crafting as having an interactive "doing" step. The last few releases appear to just be a recipe based, load the bench and hit craft setup... Which is dull after you've figured the recipe. Is the interactive p…
Alienware is also giving out a limited number of weekend access keys so you join the pre alpha test and try it out before you pledge http://na.alienwarearena.com/giveaways/shroud-of-the-avatar-forsaken-virtues-early-access-key-giveaway
Hardly. There's 40+ hour story campaign ignoring sidequests and dynamic quests. The main feature is the ethical ambiguity system. Moral choices that don't boil done to good, bad or a mix in between. The first thing any new player will notice is the …
I should clarify for you the winner does still get loot, as it's not an insurance system so much as a ransoming system. So if for example the victim decides he simply can't afford to lose X item, he pays the ransom and the Victor gets a pay day. Whi…
Originally posted by Solar_Prophet No thank you. When I donated to kickstarter I was under the impression I was getting a full game, not that I'd have to pay several hundred more to avoid effectively getting locked out of a key feature. All I want i…
Not here. In the SotA Dev+ forums where the topic is currently being discussed with the SotA devs. As all house owners are at the Dev+ or higher level. After they are done hashing it out with the part of the community it actually applies to so far t…

Heh if there is Richard already lost. :-p
But no seriously they a hugely supportive off one another. I pledged to Star Citizen before I really knew anything about it because Richard said go here and support my friend. I went there, saw it space sim…
Yep Both.
If both games are looking good support both in their development. If you are wait and see kind of person, if both game review well at release by both.
Like if you were murder mystery fan would you walk into a book shop, ask the clerk wh…

I became worried about this game once I heard their awful idea of combat being a card game. Sorry but HUGE turn off and I think is just horrible. I want my skill to matter not luck based on some cards...
Now tha…
A couple of things... I think you'll find with the exception of a few obvious trolls you'll find most people are happy with the plans for lot selection priority. The compromise they have come up with does keep true to the wording of their original p…
just a heads up, if you are planning to pledge above adventure or grab a founder status (early backer) level pledge as a gift via the patron system, you don't want to use the alienware coupon until after the pledge is on your account. Otherwise you …
