Darkfall News - Skills in DFO

Posted by Jon Wood on May 20, 2009  | 21 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com Darkfall Correspondent Andy Cormier writes this look at the skill system in Darkfall Online.

In this article, we are going to take a deeper look into one of the core game mechanics of Darkfall Online, the skill system. Having a skill system in and of itself is a vast departure from the more mainstream mmorpgs such as World of Warcraft or Everquest. In Darkfall you are simply a sum of your various skills. You have no level, no class, and when you die...you will have no gear. Pretty much the only thing you can take with you are your skills. There are many skills in Darkfall ranging from melee skills, magic skills, crafting skills, and general skills (like running and swimming).
