I finally got to play the new version! The exploration definitely feels a little better, which it noticeable as soon as you start. I was WAY less lucky this time, I ended up losing the Fighter and Rogue on this playthrough so my luck has run out a bit lol BUT! I'm still playing with skills, and I think I'm really starting to see the potential they could have in these combat encounters. Now that I've had a normal (less lucky) run, I can sorta see how these dungeon encounters may run if there's multiple levels. I'd also like to see how this matches up with items at some point, and how items will be used (if they'll be used) in combat because that could make things VERY interesting.
For now, had a lotta fun with this! I'm definitely sticking around for any updates, and I'm so curious to see what you can the team cook up.
