    [​IMG]OnlySP reports that the creators of No Truce With the Furies try to combine story and combat more:

    No Truce With the Furies Creators on Rethinking RPG Combat

    "The team behind upcoming indie RPG No Truce With the Furies believes that the disconnection between story and combat in many RPGs needs to be rectified for the genre to move forward.

    Speaking to OnlySP recently, the writers behind the title said that the studio has been looking at battle sequences in a new light, leading to the creation of a "story combat" system. Rather than engaging in fisticuffs, set piece moments take place within the dialogue system, utilising the chance, equipment, and health mechanics normally found in physical battles.

    The writers went on to suggest that this approach "may be one way forward for games-if we want to address the disconnect between combat and story, where, for example, characters can only die in cut scenes." The separate mechanics for combat and story is "a hurdle" that needs to be overcome if RPGs and other games are to ever achieve "psychological realism and a deeper connection to the characters," the team says.
