As an example, we have this card, where Dicey becomes this living timebomb and then you can send him out. "I have fun failing in Baldur's Gate-that's an inspiration for me when it comes to trying to implement a fun sort of chaos in.

"That said, what I really love about Baldur's Gate is the crazy chaos," Lost in Random game director and lead writer Olov Redmalm said. "The system that's built here doesn't really need that because of the way the system is built," Lyngeled said. When I made the comparison to Baldur's Gate 3 and that game's loaded dice system, he said that Lost in Random has nothing like that. When I pressed Lyngeled about just how random combat could be, he said that the game won't be so random that anything can happen, but added that there are no systems on the backend influencing the randomness to lean one way or the other in order to, as examples, make certain combat scenarios more challenging or increase the likelihood of drawing specific cards back-to-back. "The other random parts of combat-which is built into the system-is what kind of cards do you pull out of your deck?" Lyngeled said. The cards allow Even to unlock powerful abilities, like a magical bow or deadly bombs, with stronger abilities requiring you to roll higher numbers. The number he lands on will determine how many points you have to spend and each card has a corresponding number that dictates how much energy you'll need to play it. As you gather energy in the midst of a fight, you pull cards from your deck and when you're ready you can roll Dicey. This idea that Dicey gives Even power and agency in this world comes through most obviously in combat. When Even rolls him, she evokes something random (as there's no way to accurately predict how a die will land every time), and in doing so, she unlocks powerful magical abilities that make her a threat to those who would get in her way. It's here that Even meets Dicey, a sentient die. Even has a nightmare that Odd is in trouble and goes to help her, stumbling upon a dice-filled graveyard early on in her journey. You play as Even, whose older sister Odd is taken to live with The Queen after rolling a six. The Queen of Random is the most powerful being in the land because she possesses a die, which she rolls to decide the fates for every citizen once they come of age. Lost in Random takes place in a world where the concept of randomness has power. Now Playing: Lost In Random Combat Trailer | EA Play Live 2021 By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's
