It is severe when standing in a poison cloud because it effects all characters permanently. Maybe that is even wanted to be a bit more realistic that you cannot immediately measure your wounds and especially poisons disguise themselves. Gameplay-wise, it is too much for four characters. Yeah, you c...

Yeah, there's something very terrifying about this kind of game. Sure it's dark and dank and you're in a confined place with monsters, but a lot of games are like that. I wonder what sets this genre apart in particular

Earlier I suggested that their AI get upgraded to make them move and fight more like how a player might fight. (basically, when you dance, they dance back) qeurul also suggested that enemies simply get more attack options and abilities, My earlier suggestions were along the same lines. One of them ...

Yes, I definitely agree that we shouldn't be changing the core gameplay or completely removing movement options from the player.

Oh well of course. It would be silly if you couldn't. It's not like you'd lose track of where the portrait is.

Ah, I remember back in EoB when I was terrible at this kind of gameplay. I'd just stand there toe-to-toe with every monster until they died. Or I did. Imagine just standing in front of a Mind Flayer. Yeesh. Then Xanathar tore me to pieces, and in a flash of pubescent brillance I realized, "hey,...

So I posted this in the LoG 2 suggestion thread, but it's not some massive gameplay change or anything and might even be patch-worthy (plus nobody really seemed to address it there), so I'll make a new thread for it. I have a problem with how damage to your characters is shown. Namely, the fact that...
