Is hitting TAB cheating? (Highlighting items)


Recommended Posts

it´s merely a time saver for me. if you dont use tab you would have to slowly drag your mouse all over the monitor all the time as there could be literally everywhere one little lootspot. I really wish the perception stat would work outside of scouting mode and highlight you those normal lootspots (and if its a really high perception skill even the secret spots, scouting should only give you a significant bonus in perception)

What purpose would that serve? Why make it mandatory for everyone to have even more these UI markers all over the scenery telling them where to go and what to do? Why not just make the highlight key an On/Off toggle instead?

This statement is false.

I have TAB bound to the minimap. In a way it does constitute cheating, on the other hand with wizards and ciphers being commonplace in the game lore you'd expect an orientation help would be the first thing theyd come up with.

If highlighting objects with TAB is considered cheesy. I guess i cheated in Diablo 2 a lot. Just call me Cheesy McCheater, lord of game cheese. :brows:

I just played a casual game where pixel hunting for items was a thing. Finding a small object, which you know it looks like, on 15 potential maps... it was a pain I don't want to relive.

 

Now expand that to not knowing what to look for and 152 maps.

Yeah, Tab, I looooooove you!

I know, right? Clearly you're supposed to go on slow mode and hit that button in the middle of the screen. I figure the spacebar was some kind of developer tool they forgot to remove!

 

Use it 'till they patch it, I say.

Wasteland 2 had the same feature and I regret missing it completely at first play through :D.

I'm with the person that said that TAB highlighting could be removed...

 

 

The best choice for developers is usually giving the player a choice. I.e. on/off box in the option window.

Why does there need to be an option when it's as simple in this case as "Don't like it, don't use it"... why need an option for that?

Because people with zero self-control cry on the forums that if it's there, they must use it, they just must!

I should let those people play Return to Castle Wolfenstein.
