Along those lines, it's difficult to accept balance suggestions from players who have hex-edited their character. How can we balance something that you purposely broke? ;) I just used a hex editor to skip the clicking-on-dice minigame. I actually gave myself a set of stats much less than what some ...

I find the only useful discussion on balance for SP cRPG's like this is if one of two related things is happening: 1)If I play my preferred role, the game is so easy it's not fun OR 2)If I play my preferred role, the game is too hard, so it is, again, not fun. This is assuming, of course, that one'...

Hence my points re: balancing up skills - some skills at the moment are too expensive for what they give, others are too cheap. In particular, rogue skills need to be cheaper, magic skills more expensive. If this is done, then you have a real choice rather than a choice that gimps your character. A...

Thinking it over I've realised I do not think there is much point in reworking the system for book 1, just consider this balance for book 2 instead! The only thing to maybe fix in book 1 would be so some attack spells could make more damage, the buff spells are already powerful enough. I think this...

As to fixing things... No, no, no. Stop getting buried in the specific mechanics. You need to clearly define a goal first, then design the mechanics. You jumped right to coding without enough design. That's what I meant when I said you were real close. You almost backed up enough, but then stopped ...

Re: Character Balancing
There's a lot of talk about balancing going on, but the problem is I hear it from both sides: "Melee characters are overpowered!" "Casters are overpowered!" "The game is too hard!" "The game was too easy!"... So, I made this little poll to determine what need...

That link made no sense and looks like it a collaboration of Steve Jobs, linux elitists, and people who think coders should work for free.alpha wrote:may be a bit off-topic but still worth mentioning: www.badvista.org

Re: Abusing game weakness to make lots of gold (cheating)
Hi, I want to share something I figured out. Probably most of you know that you get random loot from barrels, containers, lootbags etc. quicksave before opening one, if you dont like the items then reload and open it again. repeat that until you are happy with the loot you obtained. I know that thi...
