Curious; is there a game that has a "fun" crafting interface other games should crib?

A Buff Gay Dude posted:Turn up the difficulty ffs. I bet all you guys run normal. Or you use cheesy builds and then complain about your power. Try a no cheese build. In my first run through DAI I put it up to Nightmare mode about halfway through the game and then just slowly outscaled Nightmare, which soon becomes super easy as well. I haven't played since they added the Trials system though, so maybe that ups the challenge. And to be fair, there are some hard fights in the midgame on Nightmare, it's just that you continue to scale past the difficulty pretty soon after that.

Spellcrafting in Morrowind too. I have some sympathy for the trial and error alchemy stuff in Skyrim, though really that's just FAQ bait.

The game is really fun and I love it, but out of the box it isn't hard.

Alain Post posted:They should have just had everyone play the side quests from Wither 3 and said "do it that way" It's not like they don't know how to do it, ME loyalty missions and most of the DLCs are all great side content. My pipe dream is that they unlink dialogue from mechanics (which it sounds like they might possibly be doing) and make more of the choices like Ashley vs Kaidan, not necessarily mutually exclusive and binary, just not 'did you pass a speech check?' Even as I say it though, I know that one of the reasons people like ME2 so much is because they can 'beat' the choices, rescue everyone, and get everything in one playthrough. I'm sympathetic to that, I'm not sure it makes for more memorable games though. hampig fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Nov 25, 2016 |

IMO the right way to do speech checks/RPG mechanics is to have the skill checks be invisible.

dialogue checks should largely be tied to actions taken by the player prior to the conversation find a secret document off the beaten path? take out a guard tower you could have bypassed? Extra dialogue options right there

All the other arks blew up and left us alone in the galaxy, didn't they? quote:22. You don’t have to start New Game+ after finishing the game. You can just keep exploring once the final mission is complete. Not having to obsessively finish side quests before doing any main story is nice, but after Skyrim, this translates to, "You'll want to stop playing after the story ends" for me.
