StaceyPowers Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 What are some interesting RPG mechanics you’ve run across? Like, I think the “flaws” system in The Outer Worlds is interesting/distinctive. Withywarlock 1
killamch89 Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 I always liked the summons system in Aura Kingdom and that summon grows stronger alongside you until they become a complete beast taking on hordes of enemies and you can even get combo attacks with them.
Heatman Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 How about the summons in Skyrim? The use of magic mechanics in the game is one thing that stands out for me. Withywarlock 1

If you can stomach its age, I'd strongly recommend checking out the old Gothic games, where you can have a whole lot more than one summon. You can summon as many skeletons and whatnot as your mana will allow. Now that's a game that makes you feel like you're in control of a necromancer army! More impressive than summoning though is being able to craft spells, which I believe was introduced in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. But I'm more of an alchemy man myself; potioncraft and cookery is my cup of tea in roleplaying games these days (even when it's as 'authentic' as in Kingdom Come: Deliverance). Heatman 1

Just with the way that you describe it, it's something that have already picked on my interest and I'm this close to making a decision on it. Being in control of a necromancer army is something that can put me in a hellish mood.

I love it when my characters are exactly how I want them.

Final Fantasy series and Warfare are two games that offered me that set of expectations with its character customization.
