Maybe you won't believe me, but creating a working gyro from scratch is probably easier (with some trial an error). The problem with a beaker, apart from the crafting itself, is you won't know you did your work well until you use it multiple times and test if the equal values increments you...

I know. The other day I saw you going around on your bicycle in my area...

I don't think that's something believable in a post-apocalypse context. It's like crafting modern weapons from scratch without weapon parts. Do you know how difficult it is to create a beaker without any scientific reference? Not only is it difficult to create a reliable glass container with...

This is too easy honestly, but I'll say it any way... I'm sure in the next encounter you'll have more luck. Break a leg! 🙈

They should make a Viva La Dirt League video about this. :sneaky:

I think the current combat system does its job. That doesn't mean it can't be improved of course. Adding parkour-like terrain movement would be too much work for TFP in my opinion. They'd need to add climbable blocks and re-do every single POI to support that (just an educated guess). But in...

I will try one more time to explain something that should be simple to a convoluted mind... You're not an AI, ate you? Because the way you understand things seems to completely disregard context and perspective. Personal preference (emotional/irrational) and technical/gameplay difference...

That comment was directed AT YOU, it doesn't apply to me since for me THERE IS a difference. I see you're either distracted when replying to me or simply not all there enough to understand my points... I prefer to think the first. ;)

It wasn't directed at you, I was sharing it with you.

And what is the difference between that and LBD grinding? None. I would argue that shooting a thousand zombies to level up your weapon should prevent you starting a new game. On top of that imagine how grindy is having to kill again zombie over and over with different weapons if you need to...

LBR incentivizes exploration and you have to go around in potentially unsafe areas to get the books (e.g.: Crack a Book stores, city streets), while LBD just incentivizes dumb repetition. I'm not saying you can't just play organically and level up with LBD, you can, but in that case you're not...

What you call bookshelf grind I call "knowledge hunting". Every interesting book I find it's either a let down or a pleasant surprise. With LBD instead, you literally the same action over and over to get better. At least with the books you need to explore and make some plans on where are the...

Well, nobody forces you to do jobs (quests). Yeah, that's a point that many have made because of this kind of play style. I never understood people who like to play the entire game magically developing every skill and acquiring all recipes just by staying in the same spot all the time. So much...

So, let me understand... if the end result is the same, why do you need LBD? Just for immersion? I feel well immersed in the game right now, I don't need LBD for that. 🤷‍♂️

I understand your point... soooo, do you think "looting" or "scrapping" should have its own LBD leveling? :unsure: Because if you do, we're back at square one: you need to do it a lot before you get good at it, which was my point. People who don't like an activity are forced to use an...
