Thank you guys. This is really helpful.

Ironically I like V5 BECAUSE it is street level, but it gives you a chance to build up to something bigger, like in Fall of London. Or maybe it’s just the color scheme lol.

[Amethyst]

I know nothing about sales in any industry, so I found it interesting. And I didn’t really dislike Hunter that much, but it felt too street level. I wanted more grand conspiracies. Maybe like internal plotting among the Messengers tryna manipulate their Hunter pawns. And more details about the enemies (you know not one clan name was mentioned in Nocturnal?) And yeah I know you’re gonna say “Hunter wasn’t that kind of game” but it should’ve been. And I think a lot of people, the kind of casual fans who don’t hang out on this forum cause they’re not hardcore into this stuff, wish it was.

I didn’t know that about how sales work in the RPG industry. Thank you. But I still think the color is one reason the original game didn’t do so well (or so I’ve heard).

I wanted to like Hunter. I really did. I ordered Nocturnal Moonstruck and Spellbound all in one day and I didn’t like any of them....

I bet H5 has really good sales. And you know what they say: “Sales are the one true God…”

Tbh I should admit that one reason I didn’t like HtR is because of the color. The books (I never played the game but I did read the PDFs) were the same awful shade of orange as the cheese in vending machine crackers. I hope they don’t repeat the same mistake with H5. Marketing is important.

[Amethyst]

I really Like this opinion....

[Amethyst]

Because the name has brand recognition. Even fans who have never played HtR (like me) will recognize the title and pick it up just for that (like me again) and not really care that much that the Imbued are gone....

[Amethyst]

I’ve never heard of him. And I know a lot about Aberrant stuff.

[Amethyst]

Because “Hunter: the Reckoning” sounds cooler than just “Hunters.”...

[Amethyst]

Are you happy about the Imbued being gone? Or do you hate it?...

[Amethyst]

I think the company is targeting H5 at new fans who aren’t familiar with (or at least don’t care about) all the old backstory stuff.

[Amethyst]

thedonnie Firanai both of your interpretations make sense

[Amethyst]

I never played the original HtR so to me this feels like a fresh start.

[Amethyst]

IMO some remnants of the True Hand survived the destruction of Enoch, but they have not yet reformed into a coherent whole.

[Amethyst]

We’re supposed to be finally starting our V5 game in two weeks so I might check out some of the new content.

[Amethyst]

That’s a very good question....

[Amethyst]

I like option 3 best too. In my head canon the core timeline and the Aberrant timeline diverged when Michael Donighal died in 1998, twenty years before N-Day would’ve happened....

[Amethyst]

I think this is a great idea. I’m really impressed with what they’ve done with the Trinity Continuum so far and I can’t wait to see more stuff....

[Amethyst]

I see curving a bullet as more of a power than a skill....
