Channeling would be rather hard to get right in a video game. Dunstan Send a noteboard - 04/04/2019 09:27:49 AM

I've been playing it recently, and come on, couldn't that style of game be an incredible WoT video game?

Something like the Telltale games, with channeling fights as quick time events might work, but one where you're actually controlling what is going on in the fight? There's just a lot of spamming and multitasking of weaves going on in channeler fights, and not a whole lot of physical movement besides.

And side from that... WoT doesn't really do "class balance". The main character has the choice of A. being a channeler, or B. dying in their first head on fight against a channeler.

So... Yeah. The more virtual novel/adventure game setup of the Telltale games might work, but a CRPG like Baldur's Gate? I don't think so.

I suppose, but... TyrReborn - 04/04/2019 06:30:02 PM 630 Views
... Seriously, non-channelers CAN'T fight channelers head on. Dunstan - 05/04/2019 06:37:57 PM 602 Views
... I think you're thinking too big. TyrReborn - 06/04/2019 03:47:21 AM 646 Views
I was agreeing with Dunstan, but indeed, it would work better with the early books. Legolas - 06/04/2019 12:17:05 PM 614 Views
It... Didn't exactly go out of it's way to stick to the lore. Dunstan - 06/04/2019 04:13:13 PM 585 Views

Both TEotW and TGH had big One Power battles against armies. TDR just didn't have "armies". Dunstan - 06/04/2019 04:42:16 PM 618 Views

You don't have to recreate the actions of channeling. TyrReborn - 04/04/2019 06:31:26 PM 635 Views
I have tried a couple of times. Roland00 - 04/04/2019 10:04:53 PM 626 Views
You know there are loads of good games like that released in the past few years, right? Legolas - 06/04/2019 11:06:49 AM 605 Views
I know some of those, and almost bought a few at a time prior. Thank you for the list Roland00 - 07/04/2019 03:48:32 AM 598 Views
