@TheHopperUK Ай бұрын

@@StopItGarrison In the TV show 'What We Do in the Shadows', one of the vampire housemates is an 'energy vampire'. Instead of drinking blood, he lives by making those around him angry or bored or frustrated, and drains that energy away. He likes to troll on the internet to get some quick doses of frustration and outrage - he says it's cheap, like junk food, but it fills him up. His name is Colin Robinson.

I really appreciate that approach. The predeterminism gets so formulaic. One of the reasons Oblivion is my favorite ES game is because the player character is not the most important character in the story.

I got this when it came out. For a bargain priced game, it's incredibly detailed. I love the old-school Ultima graphics.

Balrum would have been even better with an end game. But it doesn't have one. The dev could make a good few sales adding one as a DLC for $8 or $9

@1ButtonDash Ай бұрын

is it worth it, have you had fun with the game or did you play it once and not go back to it?

@VictoryGamingDragon Ай бұрын

@1ButtonDash I have been playing it. The game is OK if you like a mystery and don't mind spending a lot of time exploring. I would use speed potions all the time to help cut down the time spent traveling. You can play the game as a warrior, ranger, or wizard. You can also choose a 2nd class by spending skill points. This allows you to train in the other class skills. I started as the ranger and added warrior so I can shoot enemies and then use sword skills when they got close. The archery range is not that good either, but you can do a blinding shot.

Looks (and plays) exactly like Eschalon. Huh. Well maybe sans the ad-hoc engine written in some version of basic that looked great but couldn't (iirc) actually render higher screen resolutions due to execution speed and some pretty serious optimization problems w/ a software(?) renderer... but still. Seriously this looks like either the same dev or a pretty direct clone of it, at a higher / bigger scope with *some* added features. Or obviously as an unrelated ultima clone that just somehow ended up with the same artstyle - and ultima gameplay - due to the same shared influences.

Looks interesting, and the type of game I am interested in. But the fact that you can easily miss-click and start combat with random people is far from ideal. Most games have a safety switch so that you can only start combat with none-hostile NPCs if you do so deliberately.

@Thyana-ig5no Ай бұрын

My brain hates high numbers too ^^ and it feels manipulative. As higher the number, as higher the fun? Like in these incremental games? Why should i be fine with being manipulated into believing i have fun, while on the same time it's just obtrusive and unintuitive gamedesign After all, DnD heroes don't have that high HP, the players at the table would hate you. Noone wants to have to use a calculator, if it's simply unneeded /rant over
