I can finally play D&D instead of always being the default GM! Yay!
It’s a fantastic game and I am having a blast with it. It’d be neat if they found a way to incorporate a little more of the utility stuff (scrying etc.) but I can imagine how difficult that would be. The scope of what you can do in the game is definitely much farther than I thought they’d go!
Forever GM’s unite! (But like, once we get the schedule finalized /s)
Yeah, this is probably the best D&D game in existence now. It definitely has some pretty fun mechanics and a lot of depth that other D&D vidya games just lack.
Agreed. It’s the most direct translation of the actual mechanics and gameplay of D&D to a game ever made and somehow also the most fun.
Hm, now I want a mod for NWN 2 that makes it actually play like a turn-based game to see if that’s fun. 5e is probably still more fun than 3.5, but with all the math automated away it could be close.
How does scrying work in the game actually? I’m kinda curious and I don’t have the game yet :<
Scrying type spells are not in the game as far as I know. There are a lot of non-combat spells in D&D that are not present, likely because they are based on creative liberties, and difficult to replicate on a computer.
