Frayed Knights: The Skull of S'makh-Daon - parodic fantasy turn-based blobber

[Trash]

Black Cat is really going out of her way to tell us all that she is not a very nice person. Don't sweat it sweety, those teenage years are hard on all of us.

That's precisely why it's so adorable, coupled with the most recent post especially and the whole morality OT. Girls following such a development path usually turn out to be quite cool later on, unless they forget to get off that bus at some point.

Yeah, it's fun to see someone spell out 'going through this phase' as dedicated as she does here. Ah, memories.

 

[InspectorRumpole]

Maybe cause it looks like a free flash game aimed at 13 yo girls LOLOL.

I'll continue playing Wizardry 7, and wait for Legend of Grimrock and Malevolence kthx.

 

[Surf Solar]

Hey guys what's going on in thi..

 

[corvus]

Why does everyone always try to patronize each other on the codex? Can't we all just get along?

That's so like you, to try and get everyone to get along. Quit trying to justify your juvenile beliefs you egomaniac.

living in countries that do well because they exploit the weaknesses of other countries or do bad because they don't know how to play that game.

Not how it works. Countries that "do bad" do so almost wholly because of material-contextual circumstances most importantly their history, the history of the countries around them, and the history of the countries that exploit them. Development, or lack thereof, is caused by material factors, and the current situation these poorly developed countries find themselves in is almost always due to former imperialism. While there are certainly policy factors that matter in the development of an exploited country, the simple fact is that you could never expect an Asian Tiger-like growth out of poverty from some random country in the heartland of Africa or central Asia. Countries that are the exploiters are such because they have historically been such, which is a position that's extremely difficult to lose.

Also the notion that only countries that exploit other countries do well is a fallacy based on the fact that most countries that do well do so on this basis. But please enlighten me, who exactly are the people of Monaco exploiting in order to give them such a good life? Do we start to count tourism as exploitation now? While I definitely consider myself a cynic, you're drawing the world with a black and white rule which reeks of a kind of ignorant, high-school-style intellectualism that basically shows your distorted view of the world. The problem with making "laws" of the way the world works is that you can't possibly consider every circumstance, and in your curt, trollish response to people that disagree with you, you seem to basically be making some of the same fallacies that you accuse them of.

Now all that being said, I actually do agree with many of the things you have been arguing in this thread, specifically with regards to morality being a personal construction, so i guess and and stuffies

 

[Gragt]

Hey guys, let's now discuss the superiority of ethics over morals.

 

[mondblut]

You are pretty much right. Is there a feat that gives +3 will saves against Gloating?

If you ever happen in northwestern Russistan, we might practice some.

Don't forget those classy boots

Whatever you say, tiger.

This is a great discussion thread on the new Frayed Knights RPG game.

This is a great discussion thread on the new Frayed Knights RPG game.

Indeed.

 

[Excidium]

Both are true, but the game itself is p. good for a blobber.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

They mean blob-dungeon-crawler old school

 

[villain of the story]

I finally got around to trying the demo and it doesn't even run. W7 gives me a "stopped working" report as soon as I run the game

 

[Charles-cgr]

Maybe run as admin?

 

[Raghar]

I must change resolution before I can play it in a windowed mode. The environment's graphic is atrocious.

villain of the story

Remember two important rules when you are using MS product like W7.
1. Never install games into program files, only MS product might work when installed into program files.
2. Enable write access into installed directory for user that wants to play the game.

 

[villain of the story]

I never install shit in default folders, including either program files folders (I'm on W7 64bit). I don't even install stuff on the same hdd the OS is installed.

Tried running as admin with all compatibility modes.

 

[Raghar]

Do you have CRT monitor? It's not exactly compatible with anything that has different frequency than 60 Hz.

So your idea of morality is a fiscal paradise recycling Mafia's money?
Or maybe you are a Libertarian and consider taxes immoral?
Please explain to me again why not paying for a game is evil but evading taxes is righteous.

 

[SuicideBunny]

somewhat more on topic.. i finished the starter dungeon, did the rat quest, went to the tombs and killed that liying sonofabitch undead boss only to die at the hands of a random encounter during rest with no save.

 

[Jaesun]

So basically you are having a blast so far with it SuicideBunny?

the Frayed Knights demo adequately demonstrates the game to be a fun sort for those inclined, I have just returned to the village from my first foray and overall find it to be a respectable game. However I would have to say that claims of 'extensive character customisation' may be overstated. Character development is open ended, which can be a good in itself depending on preferences (and/or game design etc), but it is not from what I understand of longterm options to be any more elaborate than other rpg games which place emphasis on character skills and feats. Maybe if skill and feat combinations and the degrees of such would produce synergy abilities or bonuses, so as to simulate classes or specialiasations. Otherwise at least for the first few levels I'm not too sure if it would be at all practical to diversify the proficiencies of the characters from their starting templates (warrior, healer etc). Which is not to say there does not appear to be sufficient variety within natural class progression for players to both creatively and 'progressively' develop the class-types.

To make it short: everybody who is familiar with D&D / d20 feats will feel at home with the system (power attack, weapon specialisation and such).
Classes are predefined and there is no multiclassing. But you can freely choose your feats and create some sort of multiclassing (e.g. Fighter can cast spells and specialize in it). But for me I prefer to specialise the classes (Fighter, Thief, Sorcerer and Priest) in their individual field so far. And there is no partycreation. You start with Fighter, Thief, Sorcerer and Priest and set attributes. What you do with it is up to you.

EDIT: besides the restriction of 4 classes the game is more flexible than D&D.

And then there's the people who find bad girls sexy and kinky and stuffies and thingies and actually like you because you are a bitch. At least for a while, then they start getting moralfag attacks and break up with you. Now I'm depressed.
