At first you also think the clock is running fast and you cannot afford to sleep more than 1-2 time, but I am not sure that the case at all, modern video games tend to do that, hurry something that seem to be urgent is happening, but you can still take time to look inside drawer to pick some empty bottle and craft a potion.....
I think you should have cherry pick review more fresh than 2020 one ? A lot of the issues would have been fixed by now
A few pages back, somebody suggested that we ignore trolls instead of engage with them, so i've set that guy to ignore. I think that's pretty good advice.
You set me to ignore?
When did he say that?
I suspect; though I do not know for sure; that he set axy on ignore because axy had an axe to grind with his axy axe.
That's right, he was polluting this thread
I was joking.
Oh OK. I thought you had misunderstood
.
That's also true in Kansas, just saying
The idea of skill checks doesn't bother me, but yeah the animation takes it's time for sure.
Click directly on the dice to speed that up.
Even with clicking it's still a decent amount of time.
It only happened because the studios openly complained about being held to the same standard...
yeah there were some cringe comments from a few big names. does that change what i said though?
I mean your comment kind of sounded like people went after the studios first. They brought the comments on themselves and deserve it for the preemptive whining.
and inevitably someone will innovate in this genre in ways that'll make BG3 look quaint some day.
i think you misunderstood Domingo's question, which was if there was an overall loss in XP gain when intimidating/persuading/deceiving yourself out of combat situations instead of just killing everything. which is a question i've had myself.
that's been my experience (pun intended) as well. seems crazy that Larian did not consider this... maybe they thought it was a gameplay balance thing? or i guess not gameplay balance but more just trying to avoid people rolling out of so many combat situations that they miss out on a major component of the game? which isn't great, since if you're, ya know, role-playing a character who abhors violence except when absolutely necessary for example, telling some goblins "fuck you bitch, i'mma kill you" every so often just so you don't fall behind in leveling would be dumb
Any AAA studios did ? Or some small studio say this cannot be the budget-time bar for us and people working for AAA studios agreed with them, that smaller studio cannot all afford to record millions of line of dialogue, make 140 hours of cinematic, specially without a super strong IP branding that make giant day 1 sales possible.
If you have very specific suggestions on how to improve the menu and can somehow express them in a fashion that someone at Larian actually reads them and comprehend them they are a company always willing to improve things (though it might take 3 or 6 or 12 months given the level of noise to read).
