Legends

[gmot]

Guys, I played DW quite a lot beginning of the year and then moved on the other things (work, kids, you know). Now looking to pick it up again and reading some stuff about Legends that make me think I should pick it up as well (already have ROTS).

Thoughts? Worth the money?

Thanks, gmot

i think the consensus at least on this forum is a resounding yes.


Once you get legends you will never go back to ROTS.
They are also working on updates to add even more content to legends so its definitely worth a 20.

Worth every damn credit!
I honestly could not live without the Legends.

Even if money is tight, skip a coffee a few times or a lunch out a couple times, or sell some plasma... yeah, buy the game. You won't be sorry.

If you liked RotS, Legends improves a lot on it, so it should be worth it. The original Distant Worlds doesn't even come close (from your post I gather that you don't have much experience with RotS).

If you had reservations about either of the previous games, it really depends on what those were. From what I've seen, Legends has improvements in game setup, victory conditions, the character system, more interesting gear choices in outfitting your ships, ... AI has been improved in some areas, but remains flawed (in part due to technical limitations, I am sure, the thing must run on our computers). Transportation AI does weird things if you look close enough. At least that is mostly out of the player's control.

Critical are all those areas where the player has the choice between micromanagement or staying behind when leaving onerous tasks on auto: Exploration on auto is extremely poor. Automatic taxation inhibits population growth too much. About most other areas I cannot form an opinion, yet. Some I will never learn to know, as I'd never let the AI take over fleet formation or ship design (and I regard it as a big plus, that I have these particular two choices).

Disagree. I think to return to the ROTS, because some bugs and "features" in Legends kill good gameplay for me totally.

Im sure they will correct it or improve it, that what this forum is for. Beside they are listen to us and trying to make it better and it need time to grow.

Thanks to all - think I'll take the plunge and see what Legends is like.
