I know there are already a lot of different threads regarding the attribute system, but i think most of the issues with the current system (weapon requirements, attributes feeling unfullfilling, etc.) could be solved by one rather radical but in my opinion reasonable change: Strength, Dexterity, In…

Agreed I’m suggesting the names Might or Aggression Basically the same thread as mine :smiley: [image] There is no need for four different damage stats Wicked Feedback Health, Stamina, Focus and Equip load I totally get. Every one of them does something different and it…

I definitely think there should still be something separating an archer who really trains a lot in order to use bows efficiently compared to a brute who sometimes wants to snipe an enemy from a wall. I would just either broadly separate weapons into damage categories like "smashing/blunt, stabbing/…

Oh damn, i should have looked a little bit more if someone had the same idea… I don’t know about aggresion, doesn’t work well with more sophisticated weapon types. Might could work i guess.

Maybe just remove all requirements from items but keep the stat based scaling.

If you really wanted to keep the aesthetic of different archetypes I’d suggest keeping the stat requirements to Str / Dex / Int / Fai (corresponding to Warrior, Thief, Mage, Priest) But do we really need a ten different combinations? Is there a need for Dex / Fai build or Int / Fai build? That, if …

I don’t want stat requirements I just want scaling that is more broadly and intuitively distributed. Like every sword and hammer has str, every dagger and bow has dex And maybe some special weapons also have magic attributes and scale with int but that doesn’t prevent my fighter from swinging them…

If we go by realism(i know, its a game, but bear with me), your archer should also have more strength than dexterity, because using a bow requires quite a bit of back strength, especially over a longer period of time. And i think giving people more possibilities is a greater good than restiricting …

There has to be tradeoffs though. And thats where re-speciliazation comes into play.

Well yea we don’t have to go there I just think the basic fantasy is you play an archer you level dex and you equip a bow and deal a ton of damage but then if the first bow you find also has int scaling and you can’t even shoot it that just ruins everything And if you want to build a hybrid that s…

This might in the end be the way. If people like the different stats (even if it’s just habit / aesthetic) and you can re-spec relativelly easily then there might be no issue. It only becomes just another money sink and you never have enough of those :slight_smile:
