If you would like help with Pathfinder options not covered here, please email me and I may be able to provide additional assistance. We support a limited subset of Pathfinder’s rules content. Unlike the Wizard, the Witch has healing spells on their spell list, and with the right patron a witch can even make a passable replacement for a divine spellcaster. Like the Wizard, the Witch can excel in a long list of roles in the party depending on your build and spell list. Hexes provide non-spellcasting options for a class which is honestly good enough at spellcasting that they don’t strictly need other abilities beyond their spellcasting. The Witch is distinguished from the wizard by a flavor and by their Hex abilities. Their spell list is long and diverse, and they can make a spectacular save-or-suck caster. They’re intelligence-based prepared arcane spellcasters with a potentially infinite pool of “known” spells. It’s just that we don’t plan on having any cut-scenes.The witch is, in many ways, very similar to a wizard. So, once again, to avoid any confusion: there is a story to experience and there is a world to discover in Witchfire, and we’re investing a lot in both. It’s all a part of the bigger story, and he’s just one element of the puzzle. The rich ornamented armor counterpointed by the rotten corpse inside, the symbol on the helmet, or the glow in the eyes (as seen in the teaser video). In Witchfire, we’re much more disciplined and everything matters. We went that way with Painkiller, where we started serious but ended up in later levels with evil clowns and zombie pirates. It was not designed just so it looks cool.

Like this guy here (3D model by Marcin Klicki): Everything needs to make sense, be it an element of the scenery or an enemy. We use it everywhere, even though it makes the development that much harder. The embedded story-telling is legit, though. How do we know that? Who tells us this stuff? I mean, where do these item descriptions come from, after all? Like, we find a skull, and we see it’s called “Madman’s Knowledge” and that we can “use it to gain Insight”. …but after some thinking, I’m no longer so sure. This is from a small fake parody account, but it actually sums Also, this technique allows us for a bigger investment in the world rather than just the story surrounding the hero. The player collects the bits of information written, spoken or existing as a visual clue, and ultimately discovers the truth. I guess this is a fancy way to say we want to do it like they did it in Bloodborne and Dark Souls. It is not driven by the specificity of details rather, details emerge through a co-construction of the ultimate story by the various participants or elements.” That something is the distributed narrative: “a narrative partitioned across a network of interconnected authors, access points, and/or discrete threads. It’s just that for Witchfire, we feel something else will work better. Just using some clever, relatively cheap stuff like what Remedy did with Max I mean, in theory we could do the traditional story-telling, Second, and more importantly, the structure of the game That’s not something we can realistically achieve. This is a format that works well in games, but it would not work for us for two reasons.įirst, we’re way too small to attempt anything like that.Ĭinematics (aka cut-scenes) are often considered a reward, and so they need toįeel like one. It’s just that it’s not a traditional cinematics-filled journey like Uncharted or Bioshock, where you spend a relatively short time in an area, unlock a cinematic and move on to the next area. Let me address this in more detail, then. Otherwise I'm excited.- Sameer Monier December 16, 2018 Or if it is going to be minimal/non-existent ? So I know that 'Story' is not your main focus & I'm not asking for 'Cutscenes' per say, but I'd like to know if you are going to tell a story, if there is going to be a narrative governing the game progress.
