Hi.
Romero's you're oldschool.
Your games in the past were finished products. Not perfectly polished but certainly playable in the sense they shoudl've been.
You would support the community in their efforts to mod and upgrade them and your expansions added content to a finished product rather than functionality that should've been in it to begin with.
Whether that is Jagged Alliance or Doom, Brenda or John.
I want to like this game, I haven't been excited in a game for ages and now Paradox is publishing the two first two (Vampires 2 being the second) games I'm looking forward to in ages. But ever since they went public the investors have been screaming for profits.
And at some point you can't keep squeezing more and more out through gameification, diluting the DLCs and selling packs upon packs of sprites that would take the community days to make themselves.
It just feels soulless.
Don't let this game get trashy reviews like WC3 Reforged from Blizzard did or Rome from Paradox. Smash those sale figures on release and keep the returns and refunds to a minimum and you'll guard your brand and that of Paradox much better and with much more profitability in the long run.
Please
The inspiration for this game is one of complexity, even as a 2D game. It was almost too complex for me as a kid back in the day. Bringing it into the 3D world with more RPG elements will require a streamlined UI and better access to the tools of the trade but certainly not fewer of them.
Thank you.
