Gotta be Senshi, for me. I’m already a fan of the dwarf aesthetic, but he’s also really knowledgeable and wise. I like how he appreciates a simpler life and seems to believe in keeping a balance. It’s not what you’d expect from the classic Tolkien dwarves or even most modern depictions where they tend to be overly industrious, and I think that subversion of expectations makes him that much more likable. I also like chef characters

“I run up and stab it with my dagger!”

“Are you sure? As a wizard, your dagger is very ineffective and puts you in harm’s way. You could cast fire bolt from where you are standing. You’d have a better chance to hit, do more damage, remain safe, and play to your character’s strengths more. Do you want to do that instead?”

“I’m trying to save my spells for an emergency”

“Well fire bolt is a cantrip, so it never runs out and you can use it every turn like a fighter would use their weapon. Cantrips are the ‘auto-attacks’ for spell casters”

I can’t understand your situation OP if the exchange I described above isn’t the solution. I play with newbies and first timers all the time and we constantly strategize in combat so they can learn how to play as we go. Would your player really say “no, I don’t care, I stab them” after being presented with that option? If so, I think they are doing this intentionally because they think it’s funny or interesting, not because they don’t know better

After looking at the steam page, the screenshots suggest that it’s pretty different. Also I guess this is roguelike, so it’s a different experience in the same narrative world. It’s probably not for me, in that case, but I’m glad to see the DRG world growing

This is a brand new game and not just a new season or expansion? Seems like an interesting route to go for the development team. I’m personally against buying games in early access so I probably won’t be playing this for a long time. Just as well though, since I just got into DRG within the last few months.

I’m curious how this game will be different from DRG, if at all. Like mechanically and graphically will it be essentially the same game? I’m just not sure I understand why it’s a standalone game other than the obvious reason (more lucrative)
