KickStarter King Arthur: Knight's Tale + Legion IX standalone expansion - dark fantasy turn-based tactical RPG from NeocoreGames

[Harthwain]

Holy fuck, you guys weren't kidding about the white knight mission.

Most of level 9-10 side missions are some of the toughest ones in the game. You have to bring your absolute A game there (in terms of items and builds).

Is my hearing going or are the voice actors actually mispronouncing basic English words?
"ConseNcrated"?

Give us some samples.

They are. They also frequently use wrong grammar either in the VO or in the text

Fucking how.

It's obvious many lines literally only had one take, obviously they pushed production timeline there. If you sit down and do loudreading of a text you haven't practiced and only get that take, you'll mispronounce a lot.

If it really was single takes only they did an alright job I have to say. Still, it's a bit jarring since the rest of the game is fairly decent in quality.

I dunno if it was, it just really seems like that. It's consistent throughout the entire game and speeds up later where it's almost 2-3 times per mission.

wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those bri'ish things

 

[Heroic Liberator]

So how much dialogue is there in this game? And is there dialogue fluff or is dialogue only limited to direct C&C stuff?

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

There are random fluff comments emitted by your party members, including Mordred, occasional dialogue during a mission with various enemies or bystanders, and the rare piece of dialogue with important consequences depending on your choice.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Hmm, might check this game out then. Love me some TB RPG.

 

[Fedora Master]

The "Always face your attacker" armor is fucking invaluable for Defenders, holy shit.

 

[Grunker]

It’s p. good

 

[Fedora Master]

You can revive Lady Isolde after her body is placed in your crypt, neat!

Permit me to register my astonishment that you actually like something. Seems you are having fun.

Now I wish I hadn't

Plenty, but only to fight against. Closest you get on your own team is Boudecia and really stretching it Black Knight and Red Knight (both fight with axes - greataxe and battleaxe respectively - and Red Knight's personality is very Barbarian. But they both use heavy armor and Red Knight uses a shield).

 

[The_Mask]

I went on their Discord and asked if they're going on GOG anytime soon. They said "no plans in the foreseeable future". As a consequence I am giving advice that I plan to take myself: buy this on Steam as soon as you see a deal.

Fucking how.

Something unfortunate about Britian that European gamers (and importantly - developers) need to understand is: very few people in England except the upper classes actually use 'correct' English. And when they do, the range of the vocabulary is limited, and the pronunciation is off because they're sometimes using words that they have only read but never heard.

This happened to me as a kid. I spent all my pocket money on books. Learned words, but didn't know how to pronounce them because I had never heard them used verbally.

So unless game developers employ expensive voice over actors, you'll get this. And where it becomes more pronounced is that the rest of Europe is actually better educated and speaks better English that Brits do.

Just listening to a Ukrainian, Polish, or Russian (in fact almost any eastern european speaker) on the news will show a more well spoken, clearly understood, and pronounced speaker than your average Brit.

I don't know what the voice acting is like in this game, but developers are probably better off getting actors form Eastern Europe than England.

-Watch someone from Owlcat say they did now. :D

Difficulty is pretty wonky. I've been playing on Normal and 90% of missions have been too easy. Then around lvl 14 some side missions become pretty hard, mainly because of all the Sidhe archers and whatnot but the next story mission is piss easy again even when underleveled.

you're playing it on the original easy difficulty
hard or w/e was the original normal difficulty but too many people cried so they made easy the normal difficulty and made a new easy

 

[Regvard]

Ignore my previous post about about ramping up post-campaign difficulty. I had to reload a couple of times during that mission but that was the only one. Actually ended up using choke points to avoid being overwhelmed by the huge undead horde. Was fun.

Cyclones are still stupid shit though. Handy to keep around a couple of teleporting heroes to jump beyond enemy lines and destroy spires asap.
