With any RPG, if you have to read the manual, it is a bad game


THAT is completely insane. With games becoming more and more complex, you will need to read the manual. Many things like hotkeys, spell descriptions etc usually are only found in the manual.

But you have a right to your opinion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />


Most of the time you won't need the hotkeys for a game, anyway. They're just optional extras. DD is one of the few RPGs where they are actually important <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Spell descriptions are always found somewhere in the game itself, so you don't need the manual there.

I admit it also helps if you play an insane amount of RPGs, as they tend to swipe concepts from each other.

I remember playing through most of Baldur's Gate without touching the manual, and I only looked at the manual for PS:T long after I'd finished the game.

Most games these days tend to be intuitive as well, so they are easy to figure out as you go.

I didn't open the manual on DD until I was half way through the dungeons below Aleroth - probably more than half way. Didn't really need to for a point and click system <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I would actually say games are getting simpler, not more complex...

So, not so insane after all, huh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
