Is it woke like Rings of Power?

[TooHigh2Die]

we all know this franchise has embraced full woke broke mode with Rings of Power.... please tell me I can be a drunken non woke dwarf!?

I would say no. I have not seen anything "woke" unless you consider anything dark skinned to be woke then there is one or two darkish dwarves in the intro. Other than that, it's you, a song in your heart and a whole lot of stinky Goblins.

good to hear, heard combat is on the low side, more of a crafting game, I wanna smash elf skulls with a hammer? Cant do that huh?

Combat is really not that bad. It's just a little old school. If you have played Valheim, it's like that.

There have been some very fun battles so far though and everything is random, so there is a pretty good sense of adventure. Better with friends of course.

Haven't seen any real signs of wokeness. I'd say the combat system is above average for a survival crafting game, out of the 20+ I've played.

Good to know, enshrouded combat felt like mobile game, refunded after 40 min

Really.. I quite enjoy the combat in Enshrouded. Moria is different for sure, but whether positive or negative will be subjective I think.

I will say that there's very little feedback from the combat in this game. That's the biggest dislike I have for it. Would have been far more satisfying if it was more akin to Sons of the Forest, or the Dying Light series, for example. This game feels more like an MMO, minus an auto attack system. But apart from SotF, I haven't really found any other survival games with really satisfying combat. I wish they all had the complexity and variety of Elden Ring, but if wishes were horses and all that.

Still a decent game if you enjoy the Tolkien universe. Especially on sale.

Combat can play a pretty big role, depending on what you do in the game. If you make too much noise, you attract huge packs of orcs to attack you. If they catch you out in the open, it can get you killed pretty fast. But the roving hordes also drop sweet sweet loot. So I spent a lot of time deliberately triggering them.

The combat system has some interesting features that aren't documented really. There's an ability if you time it right where your character does a 180 degree turn and smashes into another target behind them. If you time it right, you ping pong between multiple enemies in a chain attack. It reminds me a lot of batman arkham, with the same kind of fluid chain attacks, except it's not as obvious.

As far as wokeness. If you're worried about wokeness, then you are woke. Pro-woke, anti-woke etc are just on the same spectrum. So if you're worried about how woke something is... well, buddy... you're woke A F. I mean woke AS #$@.

The rest of us can get through a whole day without ever once thinking about that whole concept... until we run into posts like this. Maybe you should spend less time thinking about it. Get some fresh air.

Like I said, if they're concerned about "wokeness", then the OP is woke. Pro woke, anti-woke, is all just points on a wokeness scale. Many of us can go a whole day without even thinking about this concept at all, in any form. It seems to preoccupy the OP's thoughts.

[Scoot_in_FL]

Hey OP, you know people who weren't white and weren't all men helped develop the internet AND Steam, right? Some of them...*gasp*...weren't even heterosexual! Guess you have to quit Steam, the internet and devote the rest of your life to harsh penance for succumbing to "wokeness".

Out of the two odd hours I have played so far, I can say that the game is more Peter Jackson with a dash of Tolkien, than it is Amazon. Which is a good thing. Bonus points go to the dwarven lassies looking pleasant to the eye, something you don't get that often these days.

By the way, to the people wanting to roast the OP for making this thread: It's a perfectly fair and valid question to ask, considering how franchises of old that are loved by many people got taken over by people who neither love the franchise nor the fans of said franchise.
Latest example being Dragon Age with Veilguard, or an even more common example: Disney Star Wars.

So I think he/she can be forgiven for asking if this game suffers from any of that.

He's got the same posts on other games he's either trolling or just obsessed with it lol.
