Help Im Alive posted:I'm not very far but I messed around a little with a second floor for the forge/blacksmith room but I didn't seem to get points for anything I put in the second floor Did it not recognize it as a room at all? It might be because rooms need doors. My wife had that problem last night and I think I remember that not having a door was the problem.

I think having stairs inside might register as missing floor blocks also.

Snak posted:I think having stairs inside might register as missing floor blocks also. Oh yeah that's definitely also true. The rules for making a room are way too nitpicky and it's the only thing I don't like about the game right now. The slow-ish movement speed is still annoying, but since Wayfarer's Clothes speed you up a little bit I'm assuming that pretty soon I'll be able to make clothes that speed you up a lot. Modern gamers are weird, I've seen a lot of people say "DQ Builders is only 1 gigabyte, lol" as if that means anything. For one thing, considering the graphical style it uses, 1 gig is absolutely massive, but even putting that aside, making a game for a modern console does not mean it has to have 10 gigs worth of spoken audio and a bunch of movie-quality cutscenes or what the everloving gently caress ever. I mean poo poo, over half the games in my Steam library would probably run on a computer from 2001.

credburn posted:Right. Any camera angle must be inverted. I don't know why, I absolutely cannot play anything without Y axis inversion. It's baffling. It's not just that I'm not very good at it -- I'm completely disabled. My brain does not adhere to it. First person shooters on a console without Y inversion involve me staring at the ground or the sky the whole time. The way I've had it explained is that in real life when you want to look down you move your head forward and you pull it back to look up, and if you transcribe that motion of your neck to an analog stick it matches an inverted y-axis camera.

I'm not sure any of those are going to fit you... edit: And as far as points for rooms go... it practically doesn't matter. The hallway connecting my 4 bedrooms to the kitchen is worth 1460 points. The Barbecue kitchen itself is only 1680. So the game really rewards you for building interconnected and "high quality" structures. My blacksmith's studio is 3940 points, and you only need 17,000 points to max out the base. Each of the private bedrooms is between 850 and a 1,000. So the dormitory, kitchen, and studio put me at 12k/17k points. Edit2: One other great change from minecraft is that items in the world don't disappear. Ever. So if you drop some stuff or forget to pick it up or something, it doesn't vanish after a short time. You can just go get it later. In minecraft, you would die and drop a load of diamonds and if you didn't get back in time, they'd be gone. Not so in DQB. Snak fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Oct 15, 2016 |

Should I buy the first Witcher game on Steam once I'm done with Skyrim? I don't think the new Witcher will run on my desktop. I'm looking forward to saving up the next year to replace the ancient thing, aybe finally play Obduction.

raditts posted:I don't know much about D&D, I've never done the table top poo poo. What's the difference between that and AD&D? Because there were a shitload of those games in the '80s / early '90s and they were all awesome to 10 year old me. D&D 4E tried to base itself on modern crpg design, so every character has skills they can use X amount of times with cooldown based on their class and on their race, all of which have very specific tile-based ranges and effects. The idea was to make it so everyone always has something to do in combat, no matter what kind of character they are running. If you actually follow the rules when you're playing a game you have to have a grid out and move people around like a board-game on it, and any more than four people makes any fight an endless waste of time. But it'd be really, really good for a SRPG videogame, they just never made one...

Because there were a shitload of those games in the '80s / early '90s and they were all awesome to 10 year old me. Just rules revisions. The original D&D was a pretty lightweight booklet, and so got tons and tons of supplements over time as nerds wanted rules for different things. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons was much bigger rulebook compilation, that tried to put that all together into one big official edition, and revise a few things. 2nd Ed, Originally "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition" switched up a ton of the rules and split the rules across 3 books which were much nicer material. Its the version most of the older generation knows. 3rd dropped the AD&D title and went to just "Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition" and they simplified a lot of things, got rid of THAC0, but also added a ton and made it kinda imbalanced and prone to min/maxing. That's the one most of my generation knows. 3.5 was a patch to address imbalance issues in 3 and clean some things up, since 3 was working well and had lots of supplements, they didn't want to make those all obsolete. New updated rulebooks that look very similar to 3rd's. 4th was an attempt to simplify things, but went kinda too far. Its very 'videogamey'. Some like it but most disliked it. 5th is the newest version and they kinda realized they've made some mistakes, Pathfinder took some of the market from them, and so this time they crowdsourced lots of the rules and had a public beta and it helped fix a lot.

corn in the bible posted:more than four people makes any fight an endless waste of time. This complaint is way more true of Pathfinder/3.5, though IMO. After about level 6 every goddamn monster grapples whenever it attacks, someone has prestiged into taking 4 attacks of opportunity every time something moves, and some person is taking 7 attacks with 2 weapons, each of which the monsters have different levels of resistence to. Every combat becomes an endless slog of interruptions and reactions. And this is coming from someone who preferred Pathfinder. Like, 4.0's combat was very same-y, but it's kind of absurd to assert that more system complexity makes combat run smoother or quicker.

Shadow Warrior 2 is my game of the month, and I've only played 1h30m of it. It's probably gonna be my game of the year. This may be a little thing, but I love being able to see my character's legs and feet in FPS games, it helps me immerse myself in the character that much more.

Like, D&D has basically always been a video game where people have to keep track of the numbers instead of computers, so there's a lot of "Is the bard's singing on? We have haste right? Do I count as flanking?" in places where the computer would just tell you whether you hit or missed, and you're rolling 6-10 dice instead of just waiting for the computer to grab something out of its RNG. It's advantage is that it lets you be creative and do things the game developers wouldn't have thought to allow you to do during scenarios, and, like all tabletop games, it allows for people to move at their own pace without having to hit a pause button, so it's easier to do it socially. Combat is always going to be a slog of numbers and geometry.

I didn't use bricks at all. My whole place is stone, with flagstone floors except in bedrooms, where I used straw for a comfier look. The brick looks really nice. Also your garden. My base is a castle, and it doesn't have nearly the homey feel of yours.

I will say that building a cafe should be a priority for everyone because its perk is that your food meter doesn't drop while you're futzing around in your base.

My favorite systems use FATE, but I do have to admit that almost every other one I tried, which was admittedly half a decade ago at this point, had problems with character advancement. Character creation is great in a lot of other systems, but not so much leveling up.
