Artifacts and Technology
-
Only recently found this game which seems like it will be extremely interesting. I saw how the Human race has to start without the specific predetermined skill boosts. whilst coming away from it with no allignment lock, and access to far more paths of technology, skills, and magic however with somewhat of a limit on primal energy reserves. What i'd like to know is how the technology, artificery, and artifacts will all work, from what i've gathered they will serve to get humans and others on an even playing field by some point. some theorycrafting, i'd be up for that.

@billywaterlow I've moved your thread to the Questions & answers section because I believe it fits better there. As for your question, that's a darn good one. I shall pass it along to Prometheus to see what he has to say about it.

@billywaterlow good question I was actually interested in this also

@billywaterlow nice question

Very interesting question, @BillyWaterlow! We have several Feature Spotlights scheduled before the one dedicated to technology, so I can't reveal much today. I'll drop some hints:
- The human world has a "steampunk" setting, so you should expect machinery far beyond those of a medieval world. You should imagine the societies of beastmen and demons being close to ancient ones, while humans live in a feudal society with 1800-like tech. Quite of a daring concept, I know, but it's part of the whole idea of "three races, three gameplays". We want Fractured's three planets / races / societies to feel really worlds apart.
- Machinery will make human NPC production buildings (erected in player-run towns) far more effective than those of beastmen and demons.
- Technological implants can empower human bodies too, yes!
On a side note, it's true that humans have unrestricted alignment, but they don't have access to more schools of magic and/or combat compared to the other races - it's just their characters being more balanced. The "tech" provides different advantages - the ones I've hinted to above :slight_smile:

Intuitive question @BillyWaterlow ! This has shed some insight on something I was interested in as well, and the answers have been quite intriguing! I look forward to hearing more on the subject, and I look forward to speaking with you more!

In that very context, I'm curious if the other races could benefit from human technology as well? And if so, what mechanics would keep people from using 'secondary accounts' for that purpose.

No, they can't :slight_smile:

That was interesting.

@prometheus great question! Even better answer, I can't wait for future spotlights
