Planet order problem

[nik_bg]

If you want to make a story like K1, where the planet order is not important, the following problem arises:

As your character levels up, it becomes more and more powerful. If all planets are easey, then later playing will be boring. If all planets are difficult, then early playing will be awful. If you make some planets easy and some difficult, then you destroy the idea of random order. How would you suggest to solve this probem?

Relativity. By adjusting the difficulty ratio to your own level. No matter how much xp you get you will never have the feeling you are overpowering unless that was the initial balance. But some people actually like to feel that all their work made them

[Adria Teksuni]

That's not that big of an issue, as with K1, they simply adjust the difficulty of your fights to your current level.

I didn't really mind that it got a little easier the farther you got since you were becoming a more powerful Jedi/Dark Jedi.

Adria Teksuni,

 

the idea to adjust dinamically the difficluty settings of opponents according to yuor level is excellent, but I am afraid in K1 it is not implemented correctly: if you play Tat, Kash, Ma, Kor is much more easy than Kor, Ma, Kash, Tat. If the game is actually dynamic, there should be no such difference.

Agreed, unfortunately, that was part of the limitation of the console platform they chose. Still, it was better implemented in KoTOR than in many other console games I've played.

 

Then again, I always did Korriban second and Manaan last, as there's so little fighting on Manaan.

Can you honestly blame the console for this deficiency? Once again you sheepishly bark the Bioware party line.

 

Next thing you know Adria Teksuni will be lying around in ponds distributing swords! And as we all know strange women lying around in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

 

Cheers!

Supposedly KotOR2 will have a far better scaling system in mind. If they pull it off, fights would remain challenging and unpredictable, yet you will still believe you are better stronger.

*shrug* I was glad that they released it on X-Box as I got to play it sooner, but I would definitely have been happier with better and more DLC and the ability to fix glitches.

 

Did you hear that? What a giveaway! That's what I'm on about!

[EvilTyger]

Well, considering that 90% of the time I have to fight my way through Korriban regardless of how I play it (either I turn Yuthura or kill them both), and handing Canderous the Sith Mask and Ajunta's or Sadow's blade and either Juhanni or Carth beside him and they have half the Acedmy dead before I clear the first room, even as the first planet.

 

It doesn't always go that smoothly, but mostly.

[Darth Ravok]

I like this idea
