-> '''Sigman:''' Yeah. Definitely played some ''Ravenloft'' in the past, in my pen and paper days, but it never came to mind in our discussion. A lot of those things — even traditional high fantasy didn’t really guide — I suppose it guided us a bit in the sense that we knew from the beginning we didn’t want to do fireball spells and healing potions. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it just that there are so many RPGs out there doing that. We wanted to steer away from that. The other thing is, some of those powerful magics and instant heals, it kind of goes against what we’re trying to make you feel, which is that adventuring has a cost. It has a mortality and a peril and a cost. If you can just quaff healing potions every time your globe gets almost empty, the only threat you’re feeling is a reactionary, dexterity threat. Can I hit the potion button fast enough? ''Darkest Dungeon'' is more about the slog and the long peril and how far you can push before it’s too late.
