Fledgling Fyora Llothis Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Basically I played demos of exile 1/2 when I was a kid, and highly enjoyed them. So I see what seems to be a remake of it on steam but from the trailer it looks much different.(only 4 characters to start.) I see that the plot is the same but how similar is the gameplay and leveling system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The game mechanics have evolved a great deal. It's the same setting, mostly the same plot, and the same KIND of gameplay...but actual mechanical details (stuff like leveling up or spells) have changed a lot.

Fledgling Fyora Llothis Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 I guess its worth the buy since its on sale and you don't see many good group RPGs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Kinsume Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 It is definitely worth the buy, several things were changes in terms of gameplay... -Party limit was reduced -Death Penalty was removed -New stat point system -New skill point system -New trait system -Map has quest markers -Graphics overhaul -ect The storyline of the game is pretty much the same, with minor changes.

Garrulous Glaahk Marak Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Since this is the second revision of the Exile story, and the second engine upgrade, the game is going to have a different look and feel (obviously). Not that this is a bad thing. The isometric perspective, while "dated", is perfectly serviceable for what the game does, and the lessons Jeff has learned over last 15 years emphasize doing more of what is fun in an RPG like this (exploring, fighting, getting phat lewt, choosing how your characters level up) while trying to streamline - or eliminate - the stuff that's tedious (inventory management, finding quest objectives when given vague directions, reload-inducing death penalties).

Seasoned Roamer yarrmateys Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 you don't have to buy it immediately if you're not sure you'll like it. the sw site has a huge free demo, get that and try it out, if you'll like it then buy the full game.

While the core of it remains the same, lots of things change the formula. I'd recommend giving the demo a whirl before deciding on a purchase. Many of the differences will be welcome but some may be headache inducing if you're not familiar with Jeff's more recent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
