Comment on Morrowind-inspired indie RPG Ardenfall releases in early access this year

  Dread Delusion is the one they mentioned and I really enjoyed it. It’s definitely a more constrained game than morrowind (a few weapon types/spells/smaller map/etc.) however I didn’t find it that limiting. Finishing most of the quests won’t feel like a slog, but there won’t be a lot to do after finishing up the main quest.

  What really makes the game is the asthetic and world building. Most side quests feel meaningful and you stumble upon them naturally through exploration and progressing the main quest.

  The leveling mechanic doesn’t really lock you out of any specific skillset, and items and consumables enable you to upskill when needed.

  The only real let down for me was the ending. It was a bit anti-climatic. Like a lot of these games its basically a slides how at the end on how your actions impacted the world.

    Cool yeah I mean the only problem with morrowind itself is the polygon count and the weird randomized combat, but the game design changes if you change the combat, so it’d be nice to have a new game with those things better

      Haha, well dread Delusion probably has a lower polygon count (sorta ps1 like graphics), but yeah every hit lands stats just impact damage/stamina.
