Re: Moments like what?
[quote name="Lizard_King"]The mage's tower is packed full of stupid puzzle solving that relies on you giving a shit about the American Baldur's Alice bullshit they want you to do. It was fine for like five minutes (the intro level for mage, for instance), but there's no way that people with that as an origin story should be required to revisit it for the endless Fade shapeshift run. What in the fuck where those constellation looking maps? Where outside of resident evil game did that appear to fit? The rhyming tree, accompanying hermit, and forest of Fuck You can go hold hands in hell when it comes to level design. I just don't get that whole genre now that other, superior approaches to problem solving have become dominant. Then again, I hated Braid as well so my spectrum of puzzle loathing is pretty broad. [quote name="Worm"]I mean I had one moment where the guy gave me a recipe, it wasn't in my quest log, it wasn't in my codex. Haha, it was in Morgain's Alchemy page! Though other than that, it's just Baldur's Gate, but harder, and with better crowd control tools. I think I started playing in the wrong order, and well, it is a fucking RPG. There are a million horrible decisions in every RPG (except the beautiful TES series, counting Fallout 3). The one thing that keeps getting me more and more pissed as I got on is the backpack system. Apparently you can get a bank-type storage thing from the DLC, I mean if it was Dog Armor I'd buy it, but come on. It really picks up after a bit. The dwarf and elf places are great and most of the moral decisions aren't too gay. I still have a bit of game left, though it's warmed me up.[/quote] Fuck that. If you have the pc version, it is <a href="http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=1959204&postcount=15">trivial</a> to hack your save with the toolset and give yourself 999 storage. And by trivial, I mean essential; I have Warden's Keep but even on a fast pc the loadscreens are intolerable when you are just talking about inventory management. Also, by trivial, I mean the toolset can be a pain in the nuts to install if you have steam version, but should otherwise be no problem. [/quote]
