People actually read the front page?
In my mind, what matters is the substance of the review, such as a discussion of mechanics, and structure. By structure, I mean grammar, headers, and topic sentences. One can find structure through the help of a good editor.True, like changing "PoE is shit" to "PoE is awesome".
In all seriousness though, I wouldn't be able to write decently in Polish, let alone English. Maybe Scrooge will try to do it though, it seems she wants to do it but is afraid we will laugh.
I would offer to help Scrooge or anyone willing to try, but I would warn them upfront that law school and law in general dulled my writing. Law school beat the fun out of me.
Also, I do not think people would laugh at a reviewer for making an attempt at content. Instead, the reviewer should worry about PoE/InXile derails, the review being leaked by discontents, and now apparently Infinitron.
Yeah, it worked great, everyone is praising Infi now for how he underdelievered.It is a brilliant bit of damage control
I do, and am still butthurt the archive link is broken.People actually read the front page?

Infinitron should have noted that it's an abandoned WIP, which is why he posted it. But hey, it's Bubbles.
No, it isnt. Theres actually a very good reason for those numbers that follows a more simulationist approach, and oh god having to call AD&D simulationist in 2016, how badly has the quality of RPG systems fallen for this to happen.
That's an objective mess.

You mean PERFECTLY AVERAGE?Will they keep getting smaller until we end up with Phage?

Wrong, on both accounts.Xe's mainly talking about the weird scale I think, which is some kind of logarithmic scale with nothing at all differing in the mid-ranges. That's something that appeals to min-maxers I guess.
I cannot forgive him for obsessing over responding to people in the SitS thread with inaccurate information which was clearly negative agenda horseshit when SitS was a rare example of a newly made RtwP which was actually trying to be genuinely good. While game certainly wasn't 10/10 perfection, for me it showed how bubbles didn't really care about principles so much as just being interested in 'life with the big boys', to which a Fallout 4 review, even if it's quite funny, still leaves you with the conclusion that... you actually played Fallout 4... and then dedicated time to thinking about it... sheesh.
Can you make sense of why they made the decisions they did? Because I can't.
Up through 15 they all follow the same rules, with odd numbers being redundant. Then 17 adds +1 to hit? Why then and there? Who knows. Then you run into the ad hoc mess that is 18/xx.
