I get pissed off in games where theres tons of loot cuz I want to pick it all up. People tell me I'm crazy for this so I want to know, how are you supposed to interact with loots in games like this. Do you just pick things up at random? Do you have some system for what to pick up and what to leave. What's the deal?

Effectronica posted:Quasi-diablo, I think? I tend to just not craft or pick up vendor trash, which is probably not such a good strategy. Ok so far the answer seems to be you just accept that you're playing non optimally and only pick up things that are directly useful.

Like things that you know you need. Whereas I'll go, well I dunno what this is, better pick it up just in case I need it later, or, I'll look it up online.

I sometimes post about how I need to loot everything, do all the quests, explore everything, completionist etc. And there are people who are like, wtf, you're ruining the game for yourself etc. I want to know how those people do it.

The hosed up thing is there has to be a lot of people who feel that way because Rope Kid is specifically designing Pillars of Eternity around this kind of behavior.

Or rather his position is that the game encourages the behavior, it's not the player doing it wrong.

Zoq-Fot-Pik posted:Completionist behavior or anti-completionist behavior? Degenerate behavior like looting everything and then having to spend ages deciding what to keep and what to drop based on value/weight ratios, or going back and forth looting things in hauls.

Wormskull posted:If I'm really strapped for cash in the game I might do it but as a gamer and a man, I often decide that X amount of missed gold or whatever, is worth whatever tedium and time I saved not sorting and selling and picking up crap I don't want. It makes sense.

Wormskull posted:Maybe but I don't find it as fun, even if it does make sense. If it's a single player game especially it's like, am I really trying to prove myself to anyone? I could just lie and say I do the optimal thing, and no one would be the wiser. I mean that that X amount of missed gold or whatever, is worth whatever tedium and time I saved not sorting and selling and picking up crap I don't want. makes sense.

Wormskull posted:I thought you were referring to compulsively getting every piece of gold possible making sense, which I would also agree with as far as it makes sense in the interest of optimizing how you play a game. I briefly entertained the idea of getting max possible xp in deux ex human revolution which you do, by rushing double takedown upgrade and using a bunch of really akward tricks to get enemies to stand next to each other, but you cant get seen doing it cuz you lose ghost. There are people who have done this apparently.

The idea of like a secret agent man or whatever sneaking thru a the enemy base throwing crates around and luring enemies, to stand ext to each other. is cool

The pencil value to weight ratio is infinite.
