Tigranes Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 ...Whatever way you bring your missions to a successful end, you will be rewarded with points to spend in your various abilities in a way that closely resembles BioWare's Mass Effect... Wait, don't they mean, 'closely resembles a thousand other games out there'?

SteveThaiBinh Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 No, RPG history begins with Mass Effect. There's nothing before that. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrath of Dagon Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 That's right, because according to Gamespy, Mass Effect is "Roleplaying perfected", so it's now the gold standard by which all RPG's will be measured.

Oh, yes, of course Mass Effect came up with that system - who else could have been that clever? Look, even the creators of Dungeons and Dragons went back in time and copied the game!

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 It's the revolutionary Experience Points System ! "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I doubt it. One of the things we all loved about (unmodded) Deus Ex was that you could sneak your way through the whole game and yield equal reward as a rambo type. Bloodlines sort of did that too, but the design wasn't terribly accomodating to stealth in most cases, and what little support there was ended at the mob mansion. If Obs thinks like we do they'll figure goal-oriented character development is the best option. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Xard Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 does this game have hyperventilating mechanics for such occurences? How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective.

J.E. Sawyer Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 does this game have hyperventilating mechanics for such occurences?

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 You should add blinking mechanics like in Alone in the Dark, even when in third person, and during combat.
