In other news, dual'd rifle+pistol reacts appropriately to akimbo. Neat.

Haven't the devs at some point or another kinda' spoke directly against classes as having anything special about them beyond the starting skill/item/piety loadout? The major character aspects are race, skill, and god, from what I understand, with only some skills (The spellcasting ones, including invo/evo.) having any emergent aspects to them. It would definitely be more equitable to have th'non-spell (i.e. 'mundane') skills have their own emergent aspects -- like your Mighty Blow suggestion.

As for th'fighter vs spellcaster thing... yeah, the stabby meatshields eventually being utterly and totally outclassed is so common to fantasy games that there's probably a page for it on TVTropes somewhere. Casters get new and better toys to play with, while non-casters just get better at using th'same old ones Is annoying thing, all too often.

But hey. Plenty of RLs that are going in other directions with that junk.

Oh, huh. Oops. You can, uh, berate yourself. It... it's a decently nasty debuff, apparently. I'm seeing -10 quickness (possibly -10%, I'unno.), -3 ego, -4 willpower, -4 DV. MA drop, too.

E: Slumberlings are hardcore lazy bastids narcoleptics. They can fall asleep while on fire.

E2: Slumberlings can also charge now, apparently

E.3: Just genned Praetorian is holding a scoped desert rifle in one missile weapon slot. Lets me dual up a pistol in the other without hesitation. Firing's working, but's going to be a bit before I can check and see how akimbo reacts.

For th'interim, or if that's not implemented, just unbind all the function keys. They're only for debug stuff, anyway -- well, except for F1. Maybe just have them all unbound by default?

E: Though I just noticed I'm not entirely sure how you'd do that. Hrm.

Well, there's the quite roundabout way of assigning all the debug keys to something else, say 'w', then reassigning w to walk once that's done. Effort

Mm... could have teleported there

Still kinda' surprised they didn't decide to off you right when you stepped onto the level. Is there even a pause between entrance and action? I certainly remember being set of fire before getting off the starts in th'past...

Piracy has been around at least since the Commodore 64.

Yes, of course*, but there wasn't nearly as much mainstream-ish attention to it, from what I remember. Nowadays you get freaking news articles on it and junk. Certainly the publishers weren't using it as an excuse -- then, at least -- to push for thing like SecuRom. Obviously, that's what it morphed into, over the years, but I'm kinda' curious when the big 'counter-attack' type stuff started happening from the publishers' side and major groups started pushing out Zero Day material like clockwork and so forth and so on.

* Probably even earlier. I can only imagine there were knock-off Go boards or whatever back in the BCE.

E: I now totally want an ancient knock-off-brand Go board.

Also, aren't Target Rifles a little redundant if they're(as far as I can tell) exactly the same as Desert Rifles?

Target Rifles can still fire without any ammo loaded.

I'd say that's a bit of a difference

Seriously though, maybe they're more accurate? Tried firing a few dozen rounds off into the distance and seeing if the bullet spread is less than desert rifles?

The demo was pretty good, but I probably won't get around to buying the full version any time soon. Too pretty
