Party Dungeon Content

[Galgano]

With the new party dungeon stuff, I can't wait to see more party oriented stuff. I know that Fenco doesn't want to make everyone a follower/lover/slave like in CoC, but I wouldn't having certain old characters join you on a dungeon be a bad thing? Or can only new characters get in on the party combat? I ask because I would love to see a Shekka dungeon where she joins you to find something (even on a different planet or satellite) that she needs to invent something. A raid difficulty boss that you fight with a group would also be pretty interesting too.

Man, I saw "Party" and thought "Sera". :<


We're about as far away from party battles as we are from new ships and ship combat.


Well, that's not entirely true, probably the framework will be in before any actual content is. I think The Silence had party fights?

Parties will not be a normal thing within TiTs, but certain dungeons and other similarly guided events might allow for it. Might. It is perfectly possible that someone might do up content for older characters that use this feature, though I can guarantee there aren't any glowing plans outside of, say, Syri. That's about all there is to it?

 

[Noob Salad]

Wait I'm stupid, don't you already party with Anno and Kara? That's probably going to be the extent of it, "Quests".


Speaking of quests, are you talking about SyriQuest, Ted?

For a second there, I thought this thread would be about having a dungeon on the party planet.


It would be interesting having a dungeon where all the enemies are Drugged/Drunk fun loving party-goers~ ;D

Uh, you guys may or may not have noticed the giant combat revision that added... party fights. Revised several previous dungeons to be proper party v. party fights, plus we've got another two dungeons in the pipe about to hit full of party combat.


So, uh, yeah. It'll be restricted to special quests (or solo PC vs. multi enemy groups), but it's already a factor in-game.

Personally I'd like to be able to take 1 companion with me in the field and have them have unique interactions with the world. As a already built in example, having Anno grants you the ability to get around a lock system.
 


It kind of feels a bit silly to be adding people to my "Crew" without having the ability to take them into the field. I could understand exploring solo , finding something and escorting them to X to interact with it, but outright "Lol no just cumslut waifu" While is cute especially if they have more interactions on the ship, feels lack luster.

 

[Magic Ted]

You'll be disappointed, then.

You'll be disappointed, then.

+1


especially since the devs said they wouldn't have this flavor of party combat

If they did ever change their mind, I'd be satisfied with something basic like designating one of your crew members as a combatant in a menu on your ship. They could have places you fly to that always has enemies that come in groups and if you happen to visit one of those places your selected crew member would fight with you. If they really wanted to keep it simplistic they could just have enemies that do not have sex scenes such as feral animals or machines. That would allow them to have more party battle areas and more things you can do with your crew without having to write large amounts of variables and text for possible crew member sexual interactions. Though, I suppose some could argue that it wouldn't be in the flavor of the game due to the lack of sexual interactions with at least some of the enemies around.
