Hey All,
I'm curious about peoples experiences playing with higher xp characters. In the past I've played the Star Wars RPG, and we generally get into the high hundreds, or low thousands for xp before character balance can start to become tricky.
I'm a little worried about Genesys. We've got a few hundred XP on the characters, and I'm already having troubles with character power levels. We're playing in a fantasy setting, and because the players can customize their characters so easily, without having to work through talent trees, they are rapidly becoming extremely powerful. I'm starting to throw some really tough fights tt them and for the most part they're plowing through things with ease. Taking down giants and the like in a matter of a couple rounds (and there's only 4 players.) The super powers you get (can't remember the name) don't help. I've got my tank who can turn literally invulnerable for a couple rounds, an archer firing off high damage blast shots from her signature weapon, and so forth.
The talents trees of Star Wars force the characters to slow down a bit, take some talents that are useful, but they might not normally grab. Don't get me wrong, I think everybody is enjoying the game, but I just don't see it having the longevity of some of the Star Wars campaigns due to the "choose your own talents" customization.
