Please name me ONE CRPG that implements the ruleset entirely?
Ok, now that you cannot do that,
Quick in making assumptions, eh? You want 1 CRPG? I give you 2!
How about Arcanum? (can I get my codex cred now, now that I mentioned it?)
How about Fallout? (wow moar codex cred)
Both had their entire ruleset implemented I presume?
But with CRPG you probably meant DnD CRPG, huh? Yes no DnD CRPG used the entire ruleset, especially not every single spell or feat or stuff like grappling.
even after thinking through all of the crappy full priced games from big developers you have no doubt bought,
More clever assumptions! And an offense here on teh Codex to boot! To appear as if you actually
were smart and a true Codex Elite <s>Hardcore </s> Oldskool Gamer you now have to call me ESF-er, doubt my reading comprehension while displaying none of your own, tell me that I miss the point while it's apparent you never hit a point in your entire life, accuse me of passing my opinions as facts and then proceed to pass your opinions as facts and frequently post lulzy pics, because this helps to emphasize what a clever smartass you are.
The last full priced game (I payed the full price, did I?) I bought 2 days ago - without demoing - was Knights of the Chalice fyi, to show the Dev my appreciation for making a DnD indie CRPG.
let me know why it is so bad that the entire ruleset, which isn't available in the open set anyway (therefore it would break copyright laws), is not implemented in a game that would be, for you, $20-25 and made by one person?
A case of massive brainfart? If you really want to belong to teh Codex Mental Titans you should learn to display a certain minor "reading comprehension"
at all times. And maybe you should make less assumptions, because you suck at it, and focus more on the things actually said.
I never said or meant or implied that it was
that bad. Or that the game sucks or that I hate the developer or any of the other inane bullshit people like you love doing so passionately on this site.
What I said was:
I do miss skills, I mean AoO are in but Tumble is not? Meh.
Confused? I bet.
But to show you what a nice guy I am, I'm going to explain it to you in detail.
The first part "I do miss skills" means that
I missed the skills at character creation - something that I expect to find there in a 3.5ed DnD CRPG.
Before you enter your fanboy nerdrage again hold on a second. It does
not mean: Gaem haz no skillz, dis gaem suxx0rz!!1! My judgement about the game I will reserve until I played it, so far I only installed and rolled up a party while experiencing a physically painful font to my old eyes. First I will finish the game I'm currently playing and only then I will see how the whole missing-skills-matter turns out in practice.
On to the second part "I mean AoO are in but Tumble is not". The astute reader might notice how these words actually do contain an example why missing skills might be a problem. 3rd edition introduced Attacks of Opportunity, quite a dangerous - possibly lethal - thing. They also introduced the Tumble skill, a way to avoid said AoOs or at least lessen the pain. Can you see how those 2 things somehow belong to each other? How the absence of tumble might cause an imbalance by overpowering AoOs? Sorry that I dared to mention a possible flaw in your beloved indie game. Again.
The last part "Meh" is merely an expression of dissatisfaction with the whole missing skills thing. Yeah I'd prefer them to be in. There I did it again! Feel free to direct your raging fanboyism at me, I dissed ur indie gaem!
I hope I cleared that up for you now, any more questions? Something you didn't understand?
In any case,
I played NWN2, BG series, TOEE, (insert any other DnD computer RPG)
fucking hardcore
and none of them have made as much use of various options as this game.
If true - very good. I will see.
Would be even better with skillz huh?
The AI in particular is a real bastard to beat, not only because the encounters have some tough enemies, the resting is more realistic
If true - very good. I will see.
Would be even better with skillz huh?
I consider myself lucky that I regularly play golden oldies though. If I hadn't, it would have taken me some time to come to grips with the learning curve again, which mainly means extra thought when playing.
I would finish with a lulzy pic but unfortunately I don't have a lulzy pic folder. I leave that to you kids as you seem to draw a lot of fun out of this. Congrats that you haven't been forced to put up the effort of
extra thought though.
So how about you post a lulzy pic for me?
