I'm of two minds. On one hand, I think that the dungeon's design is kind of...it felt like Karmin-Quese part two: Electric Bogaloo. I was expecting a more classically Akari dungeon for the game's namesake challenge-while I realize that the classic exploration dungeon is tricky to do online, it seemed kind of like a repeat.1. What did you think of the Tomb from the point of view of the rooms you played through? The PC rooms, if you will.
On the other hand, the dungeons themselves were very cool. I think you guys should have gone with your guts and done a few more combats or group actions, rather than individual asides, but ultimately I think that everyone had a good time gazing into our navels. And ultimately, that's the goal-it was an interesting, if somewhat intense chapter.
I have to admit to being worried that I was sort of a Mary Sue during my trial. I'm glad that people seemed to enjoy it, though I was surprised that more people were not horrified by Tomas's little skin condition.
I've already analyzed them; I share the others's wish to have seen Lily's actual challenge, though I get the joke you guys were doing. Michel's was a little, 'lol, he's a gambling addict!', considering how serious everyone else's was.2. What did you think of the Tomb and the Conspiracy as seen via the cutscenes?
Combat-wise, the fights were innovative, interesting, and a nice challenge. You guys listened to us last time, and I'm glad to see it, even if that kind of nerfed my character a little. The variety was refreshing, and it was really neat tieing the fight to the person in question.3. What did you think of the Combats? (Grousing about Wild Magic will get you snarky responses, fair warning).
I admit to being a little bummed that the treasure was just, "All the bling." and not a little more detailed, but I can understand that not everyone takes the perverse joy in making up intricate treasure finds with histories and everything that I do.
I think that a lot of player frustration came from sort of thinking 'Okay, it's climax time.' when in fact we have a chapter to go. I know I was guilty of this. Once the actual fight broke out, a lot of that 'Wow we've got no choice but a bad one.' tension released.4. What did you think of the conclusion? Basically, everything that happened in the Treasure Room, particularly the Profound PC Choice (tm), and to a lesser extent the way various PCs and NPCs snapped under pressure.
Personally I really don't like being told what a loser I am/how my foolishness has ruined everything by the NPCs, but I admit that might just be me being oversensitive.
I kind of wonder what would have happened if Tomas had been less openly Lawful Good-I feel like it is sort of my fault that we are less morally flexible than the average Ravenloft party.
