Name 1 thing u would like the option to toggle

[redneckdevil]

Now after playing some older games conpared to newer games, i have noticed some newer games have a toggle button (aka on/off switch) for certain features. What would u like to see a toggle for?

 

Ill go first, i want to be able to toggle npc/enemy health bars off that arent in the party. One of my favorite games is Morrowind and just recently found a mod that will disable health bars and that simple thing added alot to immersion. No longer did i have the knowledge of when an enemy was going down or if they werent going down quickly enough.

 

Thats mine, what would yours be?

[rjshae]

I'd like to turn off the game startup clips, especially when they are heinous like Atari's.

[Karranthain]

I'd like to see an option to disable combat music. It frequently gets tiresome real quick, unless each major area has its own combat themes (i.e. MotB).

[Nonek]

Durability.

[Naesh]

The green-robed tutorial characters of bg. Anything tutorial in nature.

 

I would like to be able to turn off certain soundtracks, npc voices. Possibly customise soundtracks.

 

I would like to be able to see die rolls and such. But for a complete beginner to crpgs it could get very annoying.

 

Oh, and yes, and i would like to be able to toggle some kind of 'super fast start' mode, where i don't have to sit through the whole

introductory sequence of the game. Candlekeep.

 

I would like to be able to set the difficulty only at the beginning of the game. I am willing to see a compromise on this, but then the player

should only be able to lower the difficulty mid-game. Being able to play through the entirety of the game on 'super easy' then turning the

difficulty up for the last fight seems.... cheaty. And cheating takes away from the challenge the bad way, it kills all the fun. Oh, i just had a bright idea.

Let's encrypt the saves. No save-game editor. Ever. Guhoh-guhoh! ....okay, maybe not. Not being able to debug ingame kills way more fun.

 

Aaaand.... i thing it would be fun to see an animated lizard-type creature crawling on the interface from the edge of the screen, occasionally. But

i want to be able to turn it off.

Any mechanic that makes the actual roleplaying part of the game more complicated, including things that people consider "micromanagement" (food/resting etc), I would like the option to turn on.

I would like a toggle that turns on or off the option to use toggles.

There is only 1 true answer to this question: Moustaches for every character portrait. Male and female. And slimes. 

Oh Oh Oh The slimes also get top hats.

And their name gets changed to Mister Slime Esq.

As long as they get the conversation blurb, "Ooze your mamma?"

HA! Good Fun!

Character interjections. I know it's not really a technical, game-settings switch, but being able to switch between "Just let me do all the talking" and "if you've got something to say, chime in with it" would be pretty useful, I think.

Detailed vs Brief Combat Information:

 

 

'Goblin has received a bludgeoning critical hit for xx stamina, leaving it gasping for air due to the forceful blow.'

                                                         or

'Goblin has received a bludgeoning critical hit for xx stamina, leaving it disoriented due to the concussive blow.'

 

                                                         vs

'Critical hit! Goblin received xx damage. Goblin is stunned.'

^ I am not sure what is the default setting, but the Brief vs. Verbose toggle is in.

The only thing that every drives me nuts, is the "are you sure you'd like to do X" prompt.

Adventurer's Hall "On/Off"

- On = You can hire as many companions from the Adventurer's Hall that you can afford.
- Off = "Closed for Business", you can't hire any extra companions at all.

Having this "Off" on Path of the Damned, for instance, would make the game way more difficult because when you lose a character you wouldn't be able to replace them. You could call it a "Hero Resource". Having this "On", you have a potentially limitless "Hero Resource", whilst having it "Off" you have a limited "Hero Resource" (I.E. you only have the VIP Companions to recruit).

Maybe just a more limited number of companions from the Hall - i.e. 5 - so you can still recruit the type of character you want for your party but can't replace them once they're dead.

[Osvir]

^I get what you're getting at but it contradicts the binary challenge. There could be a middle ground:

A) On = You can recruit as many AH Companions as you can afford.
B) Slider = You can recruit a total of "1-X" AH Companions.
C) Off = You can't recruit any AH Companions at all.

Or simply make it a single slider:

"How many AH Companions can you recruit? 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Etcetera-Infinite"

I think I will go for the typical H-game toggles:

 

Furries, bondage and Ponygirls.

 

 

Joke aside, I'd like to be able to disable helmet models. It's a common toggle for MMOs nowadays and I like it alot, as it allows to destinguish characters easier, especially since PoE seems to go for the realistic style of armor, so I expect helmets to look pretty generic.

[Messier-31]

I would like a toggle that turns on or off the option to use toggles.

 

 

Yo dawg, I herd u like togglin' dem toggles.

Boob-plate.

am suspecting those threads is still going... we has been avoiding. nevertheless, it is worth noting that even bioware has done away with b00b swell in their dragon age heavy armours. bioware? obsidian is less enlightened than bioware?  

 

on topic:

 

an intuitive party ai toggle. actually, multiple presets would be superior. 

 

HA! Good Fun!

^ Now if only Bioware could do away with armor so thick it could safely house a nuclear reactor.

am not sure what is the fascination with anime/road warrior armours with shoulder pauldrons that would force a mountain gorilla to his knees. thankfully obsidian has avoided such silliness.

 

HA! Good Fun!
