Fun game design
>kill anyone , do anything you want , your actions have consequences but you can still always reach the conclusion of the game(Divinity OS 1,2)
garbage design
>important npcs are invincible and if you attack someone you "weren't supposed to" they remain hostile forever and you have to reload your earlier save(Skyrim)
utter shit design
>if you attack someone you "weren't supposed to" the game instantly kills you(Baldurs gate 2)

Morrowind is the top version, and yes it is best.
Though having a hidden god or something instagib you if you aggro them is also fun.
>With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created
Always thought this shit was horrible.
It just informs you that you killed a plot important npc, it doesn't make the game impossible to complete.
>it doesn't make the game impossible to complete.
9 times out of 10, it does.
Have you ever seen someone speedrun Morrowind? You can beat the game without talking to anyone after the intro. The only way to make the game incompletable it to lose one of the few key items, which is hard to do unintentionally.
On your first playthough if you kill someone that breaks part of the main quest you're not going to be able to figure it out in game, but that's why the message is there.
it was a million times better than invincible or otherwise unkillable npcs.
Better than sitting there watching an unkillable NPC get back up from unconsciousness.
Personally I rather like it; it gives you the option to be a moron but lets you know outright and upfront that you've done something abominable, you've destroyed an entire world.
It's certainly better than plot important randos being granted immunity to stabbing by the gods of Plot & Device.
>Divinity OS 1,2
I couldn't kill this fricking b***h, even though she was one of the most irritating characters in the entire game.
huh you are right they wont let you kill her in combat
you can still get her killed though
>you can still get her killed though
When? It's been some years since I've played, but I don't recall there being an option to do that.
deliberately killing the source teachers before learning from them cause her to sell her soul for the info of the location the nameless isle
huh, didn't know that, cool stuff
Thats because she is literally the game's failsafe, they needed atleast one npc that you cant kill, the same thing happens with yesman in fallout new vegas
>the same thing happens with yesman in fallout new vegas
New Vegas handles that very well. You can kill Yes Man all you like but he'll just upload into a new securitron.
I think he does become invincible once you upload him to House's mainframe though.
>they needed atleast one npc that you cant kill
serious question, why is this the case?
It isn't, Marrowind implimented backdoors in case you killed an important npc, it's easy enough to do.
Hell you can kill practically everyone in the Souls games and you are never locked out of beating the game.
> They need one character the player can't kill
Why do they need a character as a 'failsafe'.
As Devs they control every aspect of the setting, the flow of the plot and the narrative mechanisms that influence the player down its many branches. You're telling me they couldn't contrive a solution outside of using an NPC?
Josh Sawyer had a talk about this in his channel or a GDC talk, it's an issue with budget and scope. When you make a game where you can kill everyone, usually your plot is gonna be less in world shattering. For example, you won't be able to do save the world scenarios like in Skyrim and Oblivion. It all of course depends on the setting but that's usually the case for traditional rpgs. You also need to design your game from the ground up to have all NPCs be vulnerable and that does eat into your design time.
>game has necromancy spells
>you can kill anyone, and if they're important you'll need to revive/talk to their ghost to beat the game
name 3 games
arcanum i guess
technically the sims 3, but that doesn't really have a story mode.
DS2. I dont like to save scum, NPCs in Majula died. You touch their grave where they once normally stood and can still access their menus and dialogues
i fricking hate metaphors, analogy and other similar shit. You can twist them however you want to prove any point you want provided you use some "wise" sounding words
Uneducated illiterate brainlet detected.
Your hatred is justified because people on the internet ruin analogies. The point of an analogy isn't to "prove" something, it's to make a complex topic easier to understand. People on the internet seem to think that a witty analogy is all you need to make your point and the analogy can do 100% of the work.
tl;dr analogies are a teaching/explanation tool, not arguments themselves, but the internet is dumb and anti-nuance
Yeah there's a lot of morons on the internet who think the use of an analogy is to say thing x is the same as thing y.
>"YoU'rE sAyInG wOmEn ArE lOcKs?!?
No dumbass I'm saying they're supposed to be choosy, try thinking
And then get chopped down again? No thanks.
>No matter what happens in life you can start over
If you're a tree.
>No matter what happens you can start over and frick that one 16 year old massive tittied girl that had a crush on you at highschool and teased you so much that it drove you crazy and never ask her out despite it being 100% guaranteed she liked you.
I hate these shitty life improvement pics.
This was me with the neighbor qt who liked me when I was 11. She became an easy lay in middle school but I could have saved her. God so many girls were free back in my school days why the frick didn't I try
A childhood friend was mostly open and caring towards me rather than every other male on primary school. She didnt have WLM y because of her overprotective and restrictive parents yet she gave me her email address without asking her... Thinking about it, she may not ne interested in my as love interest but as a really close friend and I treated her like any other classmate. She and her friends group were the best females being I have ever met.
Most of girls get pissed off from not getting attention from their loved ones so they seek gratification from any other possible male. Thats how lot of school prostitutes and eventually porn actresses are born.
In order to save her you literally have to man up and frick her brains out before its too late.
Her breasts may be even bigger now.
How does "start over" apply to this in any way?
If you weren't a total slob you'd go find a woman of your age who you like. Instead of waste time reminiscing and being unhappy.
Fun game desing
>hitscan and rapid fire weapons are good against enemies with high mobility
>Explosives and other weapons with splash damage are useful against large groups of enemies
Garbage desing
>this enemy takes more damage from bullets/explosives/fire damage/frost damage etc. And nithing else there are no sinergies or anything similar
utter shit design
>this enemy type can ONLY be damaged by doing this specific action or using this weapon and NOTHING ELSE FRICK YOU PLAYER
I'm looking at you Doom Eternal stone imps and DmC: Devil may Cry colored enemies
Stone imps cam still be killed by other weapons, but yeah DLC enemies were lazy. You can tell Id were scrapping the bottom of the barrel by then
That kind of tree can’t be cut to the ground like that and then regrow. That is a different tree growing in a crevice on the corpse of the previous tree.
wrong
That’s an advertisement for a tree grinding service which you cropped from the bottom of the image. “If you don’t pay us to grind your tree it will magically regrow, goyim” etc.
trees can absolutely grow back from the roots
its not uncommon to put nails in the stump to prevent this
>that image
Holy gigacope
yes yes start over LOL
wow I sure love bland, canned life advices aimed at weak willed normies
Advice is already plural.
>don't pay attention to who it was that chopped you down, planked your meat, and sold your body across the planet for profit
>just le grow back
>but don't you dare question who keeps cutting you down
Who??
I SAID DON'T
Yes.
Who indeed.
Da joos, but really just anyone with money. Yes, those are often, but not always israelites, but you have the causation backwards.
A tiny hat just flew over my house
QUI
trees live for hundreds of years. If your starting over in your 40s or some shit your out of time. youll be working till your 80 if they dont sack your ass first
The point of the tree analogy is that there is never a dead end, you can find a way to continue living even after something disastrous has happened even if you never reach what you once had
>Pic
I death gripped my wiener for like 10 years so I doubt it
>Just start over bro
It's a shit advice, for "starting" over you need time and money, and both are extremely limited for the 90% of the population,
>itt: doomers
Nah, there are plenty of invincible NPCs in divinity as well. Leandra the first game is invincible in that fight at the end of the frozen zone for example.
can you still finish Morrowind if you kill some plot npc by just getting the gear and punching the heart?
Yes, with sufficient health and recovery you can track the damage from keening and sunder to kill the heart without wraithguard. Both weapons are just found in dungeons, so it's completable without any npc help.
Tank* not track
Someone cut that and put it there, that's not growing there.
Dumb pic
Pretty sure that's a birch growing in some kind of conifers.
You can't start over if you're vaxx'd.
>Lose a limb in an accident to some high fricking moron
>Just start over bro
People who make these phony platitudes need to be shot.
Live laugh love bro 🙂
unironically this
make the most of your situation regardless of any circumstance.
how you feel colours your entire reality , and you can always choose to feel good , dont need any external reason for it
can you shut the frick up
Feeling is a direct consequence of external stimuli you absolute sycophant.
You have a warped opinion on reality
The previous tree is dead, that one is just living in its carcass. Are you a 50 year old facebook mom or something?
That's not what's going to happen to that sappling. It's gonna die.
So is there a Reddit's Gate that is actually good? I played one of them and already knew I was getting hardtracked into being a versatile hero type.
NPCs in Skyrim has the memory of a fish, especially for important ones. I know if you leave the cell for 7 days, they get reset. In Oblivion it's 3 days. The 7 days thing might have been a mod but it does reset fast like that.
>you can always start over 🙂
>pic of a new organism feeding on a dead one's corpse
c-cool
lol that image is so dumb, it is not the same tree. you are saying you have to die so the younger generation can succeed. the little tree is not you.
