Your Gripes With CoC2

[IraMorti]

For some reason Cait's dancer silks set has more spellpower than sexiness, even though she doesn't have any powers that scale off spellpower.

In general I feel like a lot of older companion sets could use an update, especially after seeing some sets still using cleave after v0.8 when whirlwind is a thing now. The damage spike for the player from the new level 8 powers completely outclasses companions and so there's no point using them for anything other than supporting a damage-dealing player character.

To be honest I think all companion sets should have 2 power sets - a low level power set and then an upgraded power set when they reach a certain level (depending on the required level for a power, this can vary set to set level 6-8)

It’s a minor gripe, but I feel like the text of the ‘are you sure’ prompt for killing Sandre & Caera should be rewritten, given that Etheryn is the only companion I can actually see taking issue with you doing so.

Maybe Viviane might have something to add, depending on her circumstances, since it might be a wake-up call or red-flag.

That’s certainly true. She would be the only other companion I could see doing so, depending on her circumstances as you said.

That said, the whole “You don’t have to do this” blurb coming from even Arona feels awfully OOC. Pretty sure she would be just fine with giving them both the Alissa special.

Maybe it's already been said before, but I actually enjoy the more D&D aspects of the game with skill checks for certain actions, being able to say certain things, out-speeding or overpowering an enemy, that sort of thing. I wouldn't mind if the game could have more of that somewhere along the lines, makes the experience more immersive.

You would like Tales of Androgyny then, it has a lot of those stat checks for differing outcomes

Yeah, I love that sort of thing.

Right now we just have the problem of those checks existing (along with Background, Starting Race, Class, etc. checks ALL OVER) but they're kind of invisible to the player when they happen. Sometimes it's blatant in the writing, but I'd say about 90% of checks are blink-and-you-miss-it or otherwise so seamlessly woven into the writing that you don't notice they're happening.

Definitely something we'll be addressing in a big way in future games.

No, that's Fen's series

I was lucky enough to score CoC for one game but I don't intend to work on other folks' IPs again.

Have you seen your own game, Savin? CoC II is very very different from CoC I. The only thing that they really share is some appearance descriptions, some basic gameplay elements, 1 character (We at the forum aren't even sure about that), and CoC II mentions 2 characters from CoC I.

For all intents and purposes, this really is you and your team's game.
