    Nope. Different combat paths maybe. You can choose (C&C!) which fights you want but there remains only one way to solve the quest: combat. I was only using Diablo II since that's where the example started. You can use a Codex favorite like BG II if you'd prefer. Does the quest have multiple...

  2. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    Yeah because I totally claimed that the intentions of Fallout's designers are what it made a great game or a great RPG. Oh wait I never did. I claimed Fallout was a glowing example of multiple quest solutions and that every quest in Fallout was intended to be completed in multiple ways...

  3. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    Okay again going back to the hypothetical Diablo II example if you can skip a boss battle at the end or can choose a different set of enemies to fight does the quest have multiple solutions?

  4. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    I'm assuming this is satire since the degree of stupidity required to seriously type this is beyond comprehension.

  5. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    No. Who the hell has ever said anything about Fallout's awesomeness being dependent on it's designers intentions? Fallout is a great game. Fallout was intended to have multiple quest solutions. Dragon Age wasn't. Dragon Age was intended to have C&C which it does in abundance. Yes I know but I...

    http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_vision_statement 3. There will always be multiple solutions. No one style of play will be perfect. Sure looks like the Fallout devs intended for every quest to have multiple solutions to me.

  7. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    Yes because a path to kill Hightower that involves no combat and requires the use of three different skills (sneak, lockpicking, and steal) versus storming the entire compound and killing all his guards in open combat is no different from choosing whether you want to kill him with a pistol or...

  8. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    You can't just walk up to Hightower you either have to bluff your way past the guards via speech or sneak into the house. Furthermore dropping a bomb into someone's pocket requires use of the steal skill regardless so it's not just an alternate kill method that any character can use as...

  9. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    Your reply to Mangoose dealt with "different experiences." Just because sneaking in to Hightower's compound isn't a radically different experience from storming it to you doesn't mean there aren't multiple ways to kill him and therefore complete the quest. That I never said every quest in...

  10. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    :retarded: Yes because the only difference between storming Hightower's compound or stealthily murdering him is weapon choice.

  11. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    No multiple quest solutions is a perfectly fine way to describe the Fallout example. The quest is to kill Hightower. You can kill Hightower either by a direct assault on his compound or stealthily assassinating him. You have multiple solutions to the quest. EDIT: Unless you're thinking that...

  12. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    It's hardly an example of multiple quest solutions to complete a quest in two totally different ways linked only by the completion of the objective? I never claimed any such thing I said "A glowing example of the former is Fallout where every quest was intended, however imperfectly, to have the...

  13. Game News Dragon Age 2 Announced

    I added the however imperfectly bit for a reason but most of those can definitely be solved in multiple ways. For the first two a thief could sneak in, assassinate both via planting explosives onto them and sneak out. Combat characters can go in guns blazing and I know it's possible to talk your...

  14. Let's Play Jagged Alliance! (COMPLETED)

    Spectacular performance. I didn't even know you could beat the game that quickly. :salute:

  15. Let's play Stronghold

    For a second I thought you were talking about the old D&D Stronghold and I was all :D. This is is a good game too though and your LP amuses me. :salute:
