[quote=“Nubsawce, post:17, topic:5478”][quote=“Alpha, post:15, topic:5478”][quote=“Nubsawce, post:13, topic:5478”]While it is rather funny he’s playing off the point buy as being well-rounded and not supplementing his likely lack of skill at the game, I think we all rather knew that 24 points was very, very high.
As a side note, mutagen roulette should really just be the answer to everything. Because it really is the answer to everything except perhaps “how do I craft things?”.[/quote]
Lack of skill? Maybe he just enjoys playing it differently than you, this game has several categories of players, theres the base builder and crafters, the muty freaks, the bionic freaks, the super roleplayers, the all around types and then theres just casual gamers who tend not to really care for roguelikes but see this game crossing over into many other genres and play it due to certain likes and dislikes about the game, but to claim he probably has no skill is rather rude. He’s just playing the game his own way.[/quote]
If you’re going to pick a fight with me, sure I’ll answer you. The game is not particularly challenging for a roguelike with even a 6 point buy. Doing a 24 point buy makes it far, far less challenging on average. If this is “well-rounded” to him, somehow 6 points must be -significantly- lacking. We’re talking about incredible magnitudes of stats different.
He’s not good at the game if 6 points is too few and 24 is well-rounded. I’m not saying he’s somehow an inferior person for it, but I’m also saying the average person should not think he is saying something actually true. And I didn’t say no skill. He just probably (I didn’t even assert it must be true, I said “likely”) isn’t as good at it. That’s fine. I hope he likes the game. If he is perfectly good but just likes to stomp everything, that’s possibly what he’s doing. That’s definitely not something to suggest others to do in any general sense though. Roguelikes are known for giving challenge to those who seek it, typically.
Care to tell me what your point was? Are you perhaps assuming a lot of things about how I’m some condescending elitist bastard who hates the “filthy casuals”? Because I’m not. I just want to make sure people don’t think 6 points is underpowered. It’s probably still overpowered, what with negative trait buys included, if we want anything like a typical roguelike’s difficulty.[/quote]
I’m not here to fight, wasn’t intending to offend you, just pointing out that all people play the game as they see fit. No need to talk about it as if he has a likely lack of skill, in the game when maybe another part of the game appeals to that person. I didn’t assume a thing about you. You seem to be the one trying to pick a fight so ill just drop this here.
