Ragnarok, why do you keep linking to 3rd party mods as if those should add something to this discussion?
I must have edited it away ... thanks for mentioning ...
Originaly i said that as long as at least someone will have fun, and as long as such "ridiculous nonsence" will be fully optional (read as: it will be completely avoidable) ... i dont see any problem with any of them, in terms of principle.
(Wich means, i stand my ground even if i concider some of *those* particular examples as totall bull...excrement.)
Also you can read from those links that there allready are people who desire the things that was mentioned (or at least something simmilar), and by numbers of downloads, you can aproximately guess how many of them is there.
And if you look at those three specificly, numbers are around 1000 (usualy lot more, except the last one) ... wich is much, much, and once more much more people than is around here fighting for BG-3 purity.
That was just to point out "majority".
When you start arguing about what the actual gravity is like in Faerun you may have exceeded the limits of honest argument.
You have point here ... i realy should have add sarcasm tags there aswell.
My bad.
Yes I said I am not bothered by stuff I can easily ignore, but I took in new information and adjusted my outlook based on somebody making a really good point. This is called "being open-minded" - as opposed to being "close-minded."
I really have serious doubts that "being open-minded" is defined as fighting against anything that dont fit to your scenario ...
But w/e ... you changed your mind, i never wanted to imply that you cannot ... even tho i did apparently. :-/
I dare to skip the rest ... for one it was pure offtopic ... and for two, you said it yourself, no reaction required.
Also a Keg is not a barrel - its much smaller. (false equivalency)
I know ... again, i should have writed that there ...
I was ... distracted lets say, when writing that. -_-
According to Wikipedia (unless i read something wrong ... since all measures there is in Imperial units ... so feel free to corect me), Kegs are usualy 1/2 (or 1/3) size of Barrel ... point of that hyperlink was to show that Keg (really not Barrel, thrust me
) of Gunpowder weights 20lb ...
Therefore: If Keg is suppose to be 1/2 or 1/3 of Barrel ... i dare to say, that Barrel is suppose to wieght between 40 and 60lbs ... but certainly not 600. :-/
That tied to my clearly poorly writen note about gravity ...
Was suppose to point out that i believe that we should stick to the world we are talking about, and dont bring measures from reality to game. :-/
I'm saying that even if they were to analyze the balance while playing, not all players will know what is balanced, even worse for beginners.
That will allways be true ... no matter if there are Barrels, or if Larian delete them all for some reason ...
"Not all players will know what is balanced" ... they certainly will not, aswell as not all players will even care ... i would say that mostly bcs (as this forum shows us in examples) that sometimes people have different deffinition of "balance". :-/
For me, game is NOT balanced around "cheese mechanics" as long as you dont need to use them to overcome its challenges.
For some others (and i shall not name them, even if i could), game is balanced around "cheese mechanics" as long as they simply exists.
Im sorry, if you were trying to say soemthing different, in that case im clearly missing the point here. :-/
And prioritizing fun can keep you from having fun, believe me.
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink.
If you’re happy and you know it,
Give your brain a chance to blow it.
If you’re happy and you know it, overthink. ^_^
Something like that you mean?
I thrust you.
I said if you choose your own challenges then it becomes more of a story telling than a game.
With that i can agree ...
Even tho im not quite sure if that is presented as good, or bad thing ... i certainly see that approach positive.
You know what I mean... I was talking about a full barbarian.
Well ... right now you can, as long as your Barbarian will use scrolls ...
We still dont know for sure (read as: Nobody from Larian made a statement about this) if that is suppose to be a feature, or Larian just didnt figure any elegant way to block using scrolls for "non-caster" classes so far.
