The two types of people that shouldn't be posting here...

And some things to think about. Type 1 The people who are complaining that the game is way too hard, way too unfair, the magic system isn't nice, the monsters are overpowered, having to manage food and potions is a bad design decision, so on and so forth. Things to think about: The game wasn't desig...

Re: [spoilers] [curse words] [spiders] HATE

I don't mind the crystal full heals, though if you ask me, they'd be spaced much farther apart and have a much, much longer cooldown time. This game is balanced kind of differently than games like Eye of the Beholder though. In this game, each individual encounter has the potential to be a full part...

Re: [spoilers] [curse words] [spiders] HATE

Don't forget that this game has healing crystals on every floor. Even if poison lasted "forever", you can still usually just get back to a crystal. If you can't, you use an antivenom. Permanent poison would STILL not be as bad as it was in Eye of the Beholder, where you had only like 8 ant...

Yeah, spiders hit like trucks, but the poison is a non-threat.

Re: Dear Devs, great game but need clarification on role of

We're possibly just being pedantic here... But dexterity and strength mean what the words mean in this game. It's just that decades of euphemism have made us form false impressions in our mind. It used to be the case that dexterity equated to chance to hit, and strength equated to damage done. D&am...

Re: HATE

Waaaah I bought a game whose major selling point was its difficulty and it turned out to be difficult!

Re: Just 10 minutes playing, enjoying it more than Skyrim

(even if Morrowind had more varied locations and better story and gameplay overall ) You know my favorite part of Morrowind? Standing there letting a mud crab hit me for two hours so my shield skill would level up slightly. Combat entirely based on "Wail away at whatever is standing in front o...

Re: Just 10 minutes playing, enjoying it more than Skyrim

Don't worry. In Elder Scrolls VI, you'll get to see sweat on your character's face with REAL WATER PHYSICS. Each blade of grass will be an individually rendered entity, able to be blown by actual physics-driven wind, and you can even cut the grass and watch it grow! ... seriously, how demanding are ...

Re: Dear Devs, great game but need clarification on role of

what this person said, 100% Good lord, this is all so irrelevant. The only actual complaint here is "it's not D&D, so I made a mistake on my character". Oh well, move on. If you really want to, re-roll. There's nothing broken about the system because they balanced it according to thei...
