Slowtrain Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 O:A could've been decent without the health dispensers, which made some tight spots in the game (invisible snipers) a cakewalk. The whole thing was a cakewalk. my pc only died once and I wasn't even trying to do anything other than rush through the whole thing as fast possible. ANd the one death was from standing to close to one of the guns when I blew it up. It helped that my companion couldn't die. WHen I got low on health I just hid and let him do the fighting until I could get to a health dispenser. I did 90% of the combat with the trench knife. Frankly, I'm glad it was a cakewalk because if it hadn't been I just would have quit. It was a remarkably unejoyable experience. If kids today think O:A is a quality FPS experience, I don't know what to say. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Slowtrain Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 WHat is that thing sticking off of your back? IS that the haft of a weapon? Damn thing must be three meters long if it is. Is it a lance?

GreasyDogMeat Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 The new sheriff in town. And the mad bomber in Seward Square is so dead. LOL, I completely missed that encounter first play through. Second playthrough I walk through the alley and end up flying head first into the building across the street. I ended up talking the terrified wastelander into trying to talk some sense into the guy. It didn't go so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'm too lazy to dig out any pics of my old helms, but this thread has some screenshots of truly disgusting looking hat wear. http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/2392127#2392127 So yeah, I guess I mean the helmet isn't horrible in comparison to everything else. I'm keeping my fashion bar low. The giant handle on my back is the handle for my second age axe. It is monstrous. But I usually sport a halberd, so I've always got some odd handle jutting 5 feet out of my back. I don't mind the look, and the weapon levels right along side with me. As it levels, I can increase certain stats and put in gems and runes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 During my stint in guildwars I purposely wore poorer quality armor because it was the only style I could stand looking at, but this, is much much worse.

Arclam Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Yeah, LOTRO has awful headgear, with the exception of a few light armor hats. The medium armor heads are particularly awful. You can toggle most of the armor to be viewable or not though. Or you can do like my hobbit burglar and wear a hooded cloak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gfted1 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/post/2392127#2392127 Clicking on a link inside that link brought me to a list of armor sets. I noticed one of the stats on some of the pieces was "morale". Whats that do for you in-game?

Hurlshort Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Morale is just their word for health. Basically it explains away the whole concept of death by saying you have lost hope rather than got killed. It also explains why minstrels can heal with music, they aren't restoring hitpoints, they are raising your morale. It's a bit silly, but I like that they try and keep it a low magic setting.

Hurlshort Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Vitality is one of the primary stats, it affects your total morale and how quickly it recovers when lost. Power is the blue bar, and can be compared to mana. Basically every action you take costs some of your power. As a melee character, that means combos and stuff, and as a minstrel or loremaster, that means songs and tricks. So you have morale and power in place of health and mana.

I actually think that sounds great. I agree. It jives with my general conception of hit points not as actual health, but as a representation of your action-hero mojo.
