Replayability and PoE - a reality check
Sarex replied to IndiraLightfoot's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
In my experience I have found that story is the weakest reason for replaying a game. It's never that different when you chose to replay it. The best reason to replay is gameplay, ie. trying out different classes and trying to find the best way to play a game. Sadly it seems that these things have been deemed degenerate... -
So any new picks guys?

Full Developer Credits
Sarex replied to Sensuki's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
You forgot the "thank you for paying for the product and supporting *insert name here*". -
Finished book one. It's a great read so far, lot's of seeds planted for future books. On to book 2, I will definitely keep an eye on this series.

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition Announced
Sarex replied to CoM_Solaufein's topic in Computer and Console
I'm looking forward to IWD2. As it is now you can't play it without tons of mods, because of the graphical bugs. -
Pretty disappointed, this launches in December?
Sarex replied to khermann's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
It comes with difficulty, or on expert mode, can't remember. -
Indra they are only saying that the system cannot be put in because they want to shut people up, not because they know anything about anything... so your words are pretty much wasted. In a couple of pages you will see then again telling people that it's too late for a bg2 like xp system.
-
Because they didn't pay enough on the KS, is that what you are saying?

The RIGHT side of the road! Leave the rest on the wrong side.

Haswell-E is out with mb following suit. Just waiting for them to appear in my country and then pulling the trigger on either a 4790k or a 5820k, depending on what prices are listed in my stores.
-
You think so? Idk, it seems to me like all the flag selections give you a little background and I don't remember what choices give you what outcome anymore.
-
Bleh, I don't remember half the things from DA:O and I don't want to go through it again.

That's a ****ty analogy, first off PoE isn't any other game, secondly combat isn't a little thing, it's the hardest thing in the game to do and it makes up 80% of the game. Exploration isn't part of completing quests, exploration is exploration. In fact many times there are no quest when you explore.
-
You do realize that your example will be blown to pieces with metagaming as it was with bg. Maybe the metagaming won't affect the quest xp system, but it will still affect everything else. People who min/max attributes and skills will still do it to get the optimal solution and best rewards. The sad thing is that you keep dodging the important questions, why should we care that a hand full of people chooses to play the game that way? Now your are just talking out of your ass.
-
The things you say are the same exploits that will be made with the quest xp system. They may not be the same type of exploits, but so what, they will still be exploits. It's foolish to think that PoE will be less exploitable in 15 years no matter what system they implement. Even if it wasn't, the people who did those things (used exploits) did them because it was fun for them. I didn't game the system, whats the point. Not once in any of my playthrough of the BG series did I use any exploits. Again so what, who cares and why should time be wasted on such a thing as an unexplotable system. People who care about diversity will use it, people who don't will min/max and find optimal builds, as was already seen in the bb. edit: I mean you do realize that you are calling people incompetent of having fun in the game they are playing. You are advocating for policing how people should play the game, which is the pinnacle of stupidity, because that can only make the game less fun for the people who don't want to play it that way. You are removing all other routes and leaving only yours because you deem it as the only fun one.
-
Ah the infamous double dip. When was that a big problem in the BG series? How much more xp could you even get for it anyways? Maybe a few people did it and you are saying that because of them we should now waste time on a new xp system?
-
I can't wait when the game comes out and in the second week guides start coming out with how to exploit the system for max xp. I can't wait to see what you will say then. You are holding up the quest xp system as a beacon of unexploitability, when in fact such a system doesn't exit. The better question is, why should time be wasted on creating such a system in a singleplayer game?
-
Really that's your answer... Your country isn't in Ukraine? Well they might as well since they have been everywhere else...

Pretty much the same for the US and UK, but hey those are the land of the free.

The contribution women make towards gaming development

That 2chan/4chan window opened, she must be a freaky one. -
Np dude glad to be of help, I remember our times fondly in the boobplate discussion we had. My imagination must have went wild there.

Also once you see gromnir talk more and more like normal person it means he is on the ropes. Quite funny when you see it actually.

Use your powers in the xp thread and go crazy. It has devolved in to people insulting each other.
