Does this mean that that you can get Flawing Sword +5 in a xvart village? Or badass armor at the gnoll stronghold? That would be pretty stupid.
It can work however you want it to
The base mode is simply randomising all item locations in the game. You can then set it to randomly delete items as well, if you don't want to be certain to find everything. You can also set a percentile chance to "skip" randomising each item, so some items will be found in their old location (at random). You can't make it add more copies of singular items though, AFAIR.
But the base mode simply distributes all items randomly throughout the game, and equips creatures who receive new items with them (if applicable).
Ah, so it only randomizes the random loot, the hand placed ones remain the same?
I was always too cynical. This is a non-level scaled Oblivion of iso-rpgs (so far).
Oblivion: dull, archetypal fantasy fpp-rpg
Roguey roleplays Josh Sawyer's resident cock sucker who worships every word he says. Been doing that for years too. That said, Sawyer doesn't like Baldur's Gate, so Roguey can't allow himself to like it either.
Wait a minute. Do you mean to say that FR in BG is archetypal and dull but RF is IWD is suddenly original and exciting?
This might shock you, but game designers don't usually get to pick the setting of the game they work on.
Indeed. It's what they do with the setting that counts. Playing NWN2 OC I was bored to tears but not because it was generic fantasy. Mostly because it the story was a rehash of NWN OC only worse and the writing was nauseatingly bad.
Well, he wasn't a writer on that game, and he wasn't even the lead designer until he took over from the previous lead (who, unsurprisingly, went to work at Bioware) well into development.
I thought you said the setting isn't what matters, it's what you do with that setting? The setting of PoE in broad strokes isn't very unique or compelling, but the writing looks to be very good.
I don't remember how I felt about NWN2 combat and mechanics in general. I suppose they were OK. What I distinctly remember is ugly and uninspired visuals and absolutely atrocious performance.
It actually makes sense, so it has that going for it over FR.Indeed. It's what they do with the setting that counts. Playing NWN2 OC I was bored to tears but not because it was generic fantasy. Mostly because it the story was a rehash of NWN OC only worse and the writing was nauseatingly bad.
And to reflect back on PoE: is the setting really different from FR? I haven't noticed; I look at it and I see generic fantasy with guns. But it's not necessarily a bad thing.
