  • The key to happiness resides in simply getting enough sleep.

    Yes, very true. It affects so many things. Mood and concentration being among those.

    The key to happiness simply resides in getting enough coffee. :p (At least, that's my own version.)

    And memory, and basic motor functions, and speech, and the list goes on....I used sleep an average about 4 hours a day, and I was in a massive decline. I sleep a little longer now, but I am wide "awake" after 4 hours and have to lay around to get back to sleep.
    Tinkering with my States in the Database and I finally figured out how to differentiate "Paralyze" from "Stun". I also figured out a clever way to teach the player the value of both :D
    Given the choice between an item that halves encounters or one that doubles encounters, which do you choose? Why?

    half encounters, because it may be time consuming, but I can always spend time getting more encounters, but when I'm in a hurry or annoyed by the encounter rate there isn't an option for that.

    Always halved. Random battles become really annoying really fast in all games I've played which have them.

    And with all that information, I get to adjust a portion of my game. Thanks for the help everyone!
    Is the "Luna Engine" worth it? I'm debating on saving up some money to get it. But, all I have to go on are screenshots.

    Honestly, I wish it had better directions and documentation. It comes across as not needing scripting knowledge to use it, which is *technically* true, but you won't be able to really do much with it without said knowledge. And yeah, graphics-wise you are on your own.

    It's totally awesome and worth the money spent.
    Okay, I feel much better now. My aunt and I exchanged a bunch of 80s and 90s cartoon intros.
    It's really hard to not be a jaded jerk who thinks he's smarter than everyone... When the competition is the rest of humanity and all the really stupid things they say, do, and support. It's hard to be a nice guy when you can't go a single day without losing faith in humanity and welcome the end of the world.

    Why is it a "problem" that I think the world should be smarter? As smart, or smarter than me? You've effectively turned "having intelligence" into a bad thing with your comment. I am literally not sure how to respond to such a statement.

    Well, Walmart is one of the biggest retail chains in my country. More people shop there than other places. That's why I used it as an example. That, and I shop at Walmart. There are other stores with the same idiots in them. It isn't limited to those shoppers. As for Youtube... Just read the comments sections on any/all videos. I don't think we need "more money for schools". I think we need "more parental involvement in the learning process".

    Actually, if it's okay with everyone, I'm just going to lock this. I don't actually think it will go anywhere or convince anyone of anything. I'm just venting my frustration for the day at being confronted with so much stupidity. Sometimes, it's just too much to take.
    Okay, with 150 hours in Dragon Age Inquisition and not much to show for it except hundreds of crafting items... I'm thinking tonight is TV and game design night. Gotta have me a small break. I know it's bad when even my dreams are Dragon Age.

    So, I'm not the only one who dreams of Dragon Age.

    It's important that people like you. Why? If people like you, it's a lot easier to get them to do stupid and/or crazy things on your behalf. Yes, even things that put them in mortal peril. Makes you wonder just how "good", good people are, doesn't it?

    people are bad by nature. Well maybe I should speak for myself. I know at least that I'm evil by nature.
    Okay, how can it be confusing to someone that you are loving and enjoying a game... But, you still have complaints about it? Someone told me that my position on Dragon Age Inquisition was confusing because I was singing its praises despite several posts where I ripped into portions of the game.

    There's a glitch with him where you can avoid all damage against him. If you go back to the room with the "back to full health" object in the center for the boss fight... Just stand on top of that. He can't pop up directly under you while you stand on it, and even his swinging of his claws at you and through you will do no damage to you. It's really the best place for an Archer to stand.

    Thanks for that tip! I always end up with tanks who don't control the battle, as they should. I'm also paired up with Keepers who don't use shields properly.
    Tai_MT
    Tai_MT
    Yeah, I end up with a lot of those scrubs too. People who play as tanks who don't tank (they think they're playing DPS... and they're not) and Keepers who don't use shields on the tanks or on everyone about to get hit.
    Okay, it's been a while since I laughed this hard. I just watched a goat slam into the side of my castle in Dragon Age Inquisition. WTF?!
    Yep, I sided with the Templars over the Mages in Inquisition. Why? Templars have a more compelling position of "If we don't exist, nobody has the power to stop mages off the rails" instead of the mage position of "we just want freedom to practice magic however we want!"

    You're a pure mage party? Or, do you just swap characters around as and when you need them? Your party members gain access to their special classes without needing to do a side-quest; you have to do side-quests to unlock your specialisations, one per skill tree. Vivienne can actually be a tank with her specialisation, Knight Enchanter. Knight Enchanter is similar to the Arcane Warrior but much more powerful; you get to use a sword fueled by magic, sort of like a light sabre.

    Mages are torn away from their families as children, then locked away for the rest of their lives and treated like criminals. That kind of treatment doesn't produce a well-adjusted person. They've been babysat like children all their lives, then suddenly all hell breaks loose and the only structure they ever had has gone out the window. Why would you expect them to have a plan?
    Tai_MT
    Tai_MT
    I swap characters around when/where I need them. If I'm demon hunting I generally carry Solas with me. I tend to always carry a second mage with me. Othertimes, I carry Dorian with me to help out my Warrior classes. Just depends on what I'm doing.
    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! I wish I could sit at home and continue playing Dragon Age, but alas, that delicious turkey won't eat itself. Also, my mother promised more Snickerdoodles :D

    They're a delicious cookie. Google 'em. ^_^ They're my favorite cookie of all time!
    Just got back from seeing Mockingjay. Well, I liked it better than the last Hunger Games movie. I'm beginning to have a hunch that I'd be better off reading the books instead of relying the movies to tell a decent story...
    Venka
    Venka
    books are almost always better then the movie. It's just getting the time to read ;)


    I think I'm only one of the only folks in the world that hate the LotR movies cause I felt it didn't do the books justice. I know they can only fit so much in. Plus you get this mental image in your head and sometimes the movies do it like you think and sometimes it's something different and disappointing.

    I haven't even bothered to see the Hobbit movies because I know they are so different. Anyway, Hunger Games did a decent job of following the books, but the books are still way better.
    Killed my first Dragon yesterday in Dragon Age Inquisition. Now I'm out looking for another. Alas, all I found was a lair of demons who don't know how aggro works and were targeting me instead of everyone attacking them. The search continues...

    I'm level 17 all epics and I've slain 2 so far. I've encountered 2 other dragons level like 19 and 20 so I couldn't kill them yet ._> they ate my face off.

    The game is starting to feel like a single-player MMORPG.

    I have no idea what an "epic" is in Dragon Age. If you're talking equipment, all I've seen is Common, Rare, Unique, and Crafted rarities. As for Dragons... I'm level 12 and haven't even gotten to Sky Hold yet. I'm busy clearing maps, gaining levels, and picking up lots of mats for crafting.
    Dragon Age Inquisition: I just tried to take on my first dragon. 3 levels under the jerk and I still managed to get him to half health before FPW. Not bad at all! Maybe another level or two and I'll be kickin' it's butt!

    Dragon's in the Dragon Age series got easy after I defeated Flemmoth, they were never the same after that.

    Flemmeth still murders my butt in the first game... I never found a good way to beat her.
    The Stranger
    The Stranger
    Well, Flemmeth isn't actually a dragon, she's an extremely powerful abomination. The High Dragon in Origins wasn't all that difficult.
    Protip: If you have a doctor in your game that can't tell the difference between a dog bite and a human bite, it's a fantastic indicator you have a terrible writing staff that didn't do any research.
    Telltale Games always make me so angry... "The Wolf Among Us" had a first episode free thing. I picked it up, completed it, then was promptly made angry when 80% of my choices didn't matter. Why include choices at all if they don't matter!? They don't add to the narrative if they don't matter!

    Because Choice is an illusion, only the budget is real. The plot is linear, and the differences minimal to save money.

    Gameplay is minimal to save money too. Simon Says mini games and point and click on objects in the extent of the "game playing". Which, I don't consider it a game. Games involve having obstacles in your way with chances of failure and require some skill to overcome the obstacles. Even when I've failed QTEs, I still win in these games.
    I just got absolutely DESTROYED by a Dragon in Dragon Age Inquisition. I'd normally stay away, but the little spawned babies give good XP... Now... how to avoid the big sucker while farming the little ones...
    +1 Karma for me! Did my good deed for the day in helping a gal get all of her stuff up the stairs of my apt. building since she had crutches.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
