That's a vague request since you didn't say how far back you last looked at the game.
ITs vague sadly because I can't tell you when, I remember downloading the game when it first dropped and an update or two then skipping it for a couple of updates and downloading it once or twice again and that is just as unhelpful as my quoted statement. I will say though when I did play it one of the first things I saw and was glad to see was the class system because they gave me hope that maybe it meant that there were going to be different ways the player interacted in the world and with the slave.... and maybe the caster class would feel like a caster, this is just my opinion but a little peeve I had with the first game is, we were supposed to be a mage, joining the mages guild and everything but the mc just didn't ever feel like a mage it me.
what I remember seeing, mechanically the game was pretty impressive even though everything wasn't implemented
Conquest, so far, has several unique NPCs that you can recruit. The first one you'll encounter (on day 2, during the game's Prologue) is the halfkin bunny Daisy, whom you can purchase for a mere 100 gold. Her stats allow her to be turned into a pretty good whore, and the story/quest content helps you in this direction. But nothing forces you to use her as a whore. You can build her as a fighter or a mage or anything you want. The next unique NPC you encounter in the Prologue will be the elf Aire, though you won't be able to recruit her until much later on in Act 1 (and it's not easy to do). You'll encounter Princess Anastasia at the end of the Prologue, but she too cannot be recruited until you have completed several major quests in Act 1, and she plays a central role in the game's story. The orc mage Kurdan is the first unique NPC that you can recruit in Act 1. Orcs make great fighters but this one comes built as a mage (shaman). You of course can rebuild him if you wish to, which is what Oblivion potions are for. Kurdan, so far, has no story content other than when you first meet him. Last, but far from least, is the mage Zephyra (I forget offhand what race she is, fairy or something?) who also plays a key role in the story. There are several other named NPCs in the game, such as the guild leaders, but none of them are playable. Only the ones I've listed can join you.
Thats cool and all , I like what I hear about the mechanics of the class. Now my question is, let's use daisy since she's the first, after she becomes your slave, does she lose whatever character she has that makes her a unique npc?
No. She still behaves shyly, though as her relationship to the MC develops that shyness begins to lessen. Assuming that the player is treating her kindly, she falls in love with the MC. I've never gone the route of being an asshole and mistreating her, so I don't know what happens down the other path.
Yes, game developer will always redo deep design decisions.You seems to be a great medium, able to compare a finished game and an alpha version
Say you send a Worker to a location that has Stone, Iron, Magic Wood, and Ironwood. Sure, you could bias it by giving a pick or axe, but how do you get the script to properly assign which of the two to assign them to?
If they are equally good at multiple possible resources could just cycle between them. Tho generally if you're sending a group like I'm suggesting, your gonna send multiple/enough people to get each resource anyway.
Sure, that's true. On the other hand, the combat without already having like 750+ skill points on a couple characters is boring as hell. Yes, I could grind boring content, but that involves grinding boring content. That's like, the one thing you don't want people doing when you're making a game.
