Quantics Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Troll ? Anyway, if you don't want to reload, just play in Trial of Iron mode. Edited April 1, 2015 by Quantics 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like with Dragonfall, I despise having to constantly reload to play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorrowofwind Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Are there any crpgs that allow player to reroll the main character(s) to start from where they fall? The only one I can remember is Lunatic dawn... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm finding it hard, then again I'm playing on Hard. I think the completionist gene is strong in RPGers. I, OTOH, am happy to leave an encounter and come back later. That bloody bear, for starters. And the temple in the village, which drove me nuts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarack21 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not if you wander in solo with a squishy character. Well...I guess that's fair. I'll say this; I went in on normal with my squishy MC, Eder, and Aloth and it was no problem at all. Not any harder than any random forest encounter, and easier than some (I'm looking at you, Forest Lurker!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trashmyego Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Eh, the bear cave is just an introduction to some common sense, get an idea about encounters before you engage them.

Hoeya Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Because saving a game and reloading it hasn't been a feature of video games, ever. How dare you, Obsidian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurhetemec Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 So...the ability to save ruins RPG's? Makes sense. In another news, breathing ruins humanity. More at 11:00. Hey Katarack, let's be fair, the earliest RPGs did not allow saving, and certainly not, god forbid, reloading saves of dead characters - i.e. those ones running on mainframes back in the 1970s (Moria etc.). That's another genre that's making a bit of a comeback, so maybe the OP assumed Pillars was one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike But yeah, somehow I suspect Iron Man as default would not have been a terribly popular decision.

Emptiness Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If you die, just reload and come back later. Obsidian are the masters of creating imbalanced games that force the player to cheat and metagame. They could add a "Trial of Steel" mode, in which the game bricks itself when you die. If you want to play again you have to buy a new copy. Would that be sufficiently hardcore? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I can remember is Lunatic dawn... I know there are Rogue likes who do similar things. I'm sure one of the Disgaea games had a mechanic where you could respec any party member when they died. If you die, just reload and come back later.

If you want to play again you have to buy a new copy. Would that be sufficiently hardcore? I just discovered a pretty cool version of this in Steel Battalion a hard core mech sim. If your mech starts to blow you have to go through the eject/self destruct procedure. If you do your character survives and you can retry the mission. If you don't it deletes your entire profile.
