It was AWFUL.Actually, the NWN2 interface was great
Cooldowns were basically a foregone conclusion. Even D:OS uses them. I don't know why, but designers love them.
Might be good if the editor is any good and leads to a mod scene comparable to NWN's.
4e, sure. However, I don't see how that's a fair and accurate description of 5e, though, simplified as it may inarguably be.Although to be fair even an authentic D&D RPG would, these days, be babby's first D&D too, since they drastically changed even the tabletop game to be about spammable abilities that recharge between encounters.
It's really less about being fun, and more about making sure you know 100% of players can finish your game.
Not familiar with it either (nor with any edition after the third) and to be honest I heard a lot of conflicting statements about the ruleset. According to some people the fifth is the best D&D ever, others seem to hate it.I'm kind of unfamiliar with D&D 5th edition.... but isn't the general consensus that there is nothing solid there

Well, Oghren was a gas, wasn't he?Ehhh, the writer is responsible for Oghren in Dragon Age: Origins. Not sure what to think.
PoE was never announced as a sequel to IE. They wouldn't be so foolish as to make such a clear statement, "going for IE 'feels'" I think was the phrase used. But I know a game which was heralded as "a spiritual successor to the Baldur's Gate series". That one had cooldowns tooHuh... the trailer has a lot of content. I'm gonna laugh my dick off if this game turns out to be a better IE sequel than Pillars of Eternity.
When will the devs learn that level 1 character casting 1hp minor heal is not a valid reason for huge colourful flashes and screen shaking... :D
Hoping for it to be improved ToEE is probably too much, but still... looks interesting.

This fucking shit is so aids and its everywhere these days. I was a big fan of Baldur's Gate and Torment's flashy spell animations, but those felt like they belonged, now you see a nuclear bomb going off when you use your Level 1 slash and it does no damage.

Exactly. It's honestly creepy how hard the devs are trying to make the player feel awesome with this "everyun iz speshul" crap, adding massive effects for even the most mundane things.
That aside, how are the Baldurs Gate effects flashy? As far as I remember, those were mostly like "character wiggling hands over a small glowing orb for 2 seconds". :D
