Stilts aren't necessary lol. Just knock out the stairs to a 2-story POI and use a hanging ladder. on a perch. I know, I know, it's manipulating the same mechanics/AI issues - but it at least gives a feeling of more creative base-making - at least for me! lol Also, I tend to agree about A16...

I said this didn't amount to bait and switch, but that your argument was still ignorant, regardless. So let's worry about that? People concerned that the enemy doesn't act like everyone has every reason to expect is a valid concern. My point was that it is in fact valid and that your argument...

Personally, I don't think that looks "weird" when we consider it's a corpse driven on instinct and according to practically any source material ever has no capacity for critical thought beyond "I wanna eat that". I would much rather see the zombies that appear to be randomized w/ arbitrary...

Don't have a lot to add to this - I just agree so much that I felt it worthy of a quote. I think I can guess some of it. You mentioning "buried supplies" and "heaps of recipes... in cupboards" leads me to believe that you're one of those who, even before A18 was more of a looter-shooter player...

Same. My brother introduced me to it in the middle of the A15 span. Loved it. Drained so many hours into it. A17, I couldn't do. Despised (what I view as) the absolute dumbing down of the experiential learning system into the generic grind-for-points system we have today. I came back to...

Gotta disagree here... I played all 17.4 & 18, up until I quit on 30 minute days. *THAT* had a little pressure. In my final playthrough, I went ahead and switched to 60 minute days... I went practically bat-♥♥♥♥ crazy at nights waiting for the sun to come up.

It's 100% grind. It always has been. The difference though? Now, the grind feels half pointless. It used to feel rewarding. Like, I'd have to grind, but my overall status improved, I felt I was accomplishing something. Now? The feeling of reward or improvement? It happens at about the...

I'm turned off by the current mining system, in the since that it looks ridiculously cheesy and screams "MMORPG" vibes everywhere. Mining essentially controls your game (can't make most things without it - including ammo, etc.). So let's at least make it exciting to try and find it :-(

There's also a really hidden, super secret option that only the elitest of the elites know....

I don't want to get all these things day one by any means, lol. Don't worry - I'm not trying to be that ridiculous. What I want, is to get rid of the actual attribute skills. Do away with the level/attribute gates. Crank exp down a little bit to make up for it. That way, you level up...

Is there anywhere else besides Amazon to purchase it? As a safety professional, I've boycotted Amazon for a few years now. Wouldn't mind purchasing some merchandise to show support, but not willing ot give Amazon my business.

I'm still playing Nomad, as I always have. But, I don't believe default difficulty is relevant to that topic though, because the modifiers didn't change so I'm still comparing across the board. In other words, it's not as if "Adventurer is the new nomad, because they made Nomad harde," the...

I specifically said "big glob of ore" - not "big veins". Vocabulary FTW. Regarding my comment about realism - there's a difference imo between sacrificing some of it for the outright necessity of maintaining enjoyment (no, you probably don't want to have to learn about electric schematics and...

I think you're being a bit too traditional "D&D" with the definition of RPG (which is fair, I played tons of traditional RPGs too). In more modern years though, the going trend is "classless" RPGs. The benefit being exactly what I mentioned loving about A17 - you're free to create your unique...

Regarding the buying into of TFP propaganda... Wasn't calling you retarded - more like unwilling to analyze it for what it is. It's like they took your $5, gave you (5) $1s, and most of you are convinced you have more money. I did explain my reasoning enough for others to get it at least - if...
