Combat revamp, part I
Here are some screenshots and info about the new partial combat revamp that goes live
next week (Alpha release).
- Take anyone out as a follower - slaves, wife, kids, NCPs. Four slaves? Or three slaves + one merc? Or just you and four kids? All combos are possible.
- Larger and more detailed custom avatar pics that cast shadows. All slaves and NPCs have unique sprites + a unique KO sprite after getting incapped. Children even have age-specific sets.
- New healing/post-combat system. Perma death is no more (for NPCs). You'll be able to either
Stabilize (permanent injuries) or
Heal (requires a Doctors Kit and a Medicine skill of 40+. Leaves no permanent injuries). You can also spend an hour (-3 Stamina points) to comfort and take care of fallen soldiers, even those who are (only) injured. This will recover an additional 5 HP, and might, in some cases, increase Affection.
- No name tags for followers (Or is this still necessary? Less clutter/fancier map without them. Up for discussion, though!).
Screenshot 1: What a mess. I tried to go up against the black guards with my trusted wife, my assault soldier Juno and my two adult kids. We got completely wiped out.

Screenshot 2: I've returned with a more formidable crew. Loren and Rebecca make up the assault core, while Mai-Lynn, with her 97 ranged skill, is the crew's sniper. I've also decided to give Juno one last chance.
