Uh, no. You will get different averages with d20 times five than you will with d100. Also, rolling d20 five times = you will get 5 at a minimum, while with d100 = you will get 1 at a minimum. It gets even more important if rolling 1 has some consequences (like critical failure).
There are a handful of valid points in that list, but they are all items that have been correctly identified by Codexers as flaws in any CRPG of this type, not due to a departure from Bioware games:In fairness, it's closer to modern D&D than BIoware's sorry excuses for RPGs.complaining that DOS3 is closer to actual D&D/AD&D than Bioware's sorry excuses for RPGs.
You should have known not to believe this.
That first point is accurate. There's no alignment system. And that's because Wizards of the Coast asked them not to put one in.
Did this meme start here and move to 4chan, or start on 4chan and move here?
There are jokes in this game? Have I missed them all?
Yeah. What I found the most baffling was the defeatist attitude from the get go: “It’s hard to do it right so we aren’t going to bother”.
Or they could just put everyone in turn-based mode at the same time. No more clock problems.
No, that’s something they deliberately wanted to avoid, since it’s a cornerstone of their idea of co-op that one player should be free to roam while another is engaged in combat (at least until they are extremely close).
Not too hard (currently) in the game and in general "first-round only" abilities aren't too shabby because you'll typically spend two or three rounds for combat at most, outside of the most challenging ones.
They are still free to roam around. They just have to wait their turn.
It's like you don't want to listen.
Sounds like yet another thing that's not in tabletop. Yet another feature to list as an abomination.
It's OBVIOUSLY something that can't be "from tabletop" since one one plays tabletop RPGs "real time".
You know why its tuned like that ? Because its aimed at streamers, not grognards, so imagine stopping the clock of one of their lovechild, unthinkable. Most of the game will be quite easy too i can predict with the same flaws as solasta as a game streamer is barely more evolved than a gaming journo.
Let me clarify that the "clock" I'm talking about in that post is a literal in-game clock.
Why must it be a meme, it is mind-boggling.
I agree. Exploration and everything else should be turn based too.
seems more like a development choice to me
Sure, but not a good one.
