But I'm not sure if I would call it a CRPG. It's an Action/Adventure which revolves heavily around puzzle solving.

When you click on the "equip" icon, the game seems determined to show a screen that says "Outfitting your character" for about four seconds regardless of how fast I have the CPU speed cranked up.

I guess what I don't know, given all of this, is whether it makes sense to:<br /><br />a) Keep training characters in their existing primary weapons<br />b) Switch to different primary weapons based on the max training levels<br />c) Train characters in multiple weapons.<br /><br />My character with an existing proficiency in a greatsword has only 5 in both attack and defense. To get him to his max, he'd have to train 50 points, which will cost 5000 adventure points. So I suspect a) might be the answer if I won't amass much more than 5,000 adventure points in the game, and c) is the answer if I'll amass a lot more.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-12426680710750799852013-04-02T20:02:18.695-04:002013-04-02T20:02:18.695-04:00For the record, the 30/30 max for greatswords is e...For the record, the 30/30 max for greatswords is enough for every quest in the game as enemies in quests don't scale up unlike the ones in random encounters. You should notice a huge difference in your characters effectiveness as you improve your skills up to 30-40 but after that, in my personal experience, I haven't really noticed any huge differences. In my previous game I got one of my archers up to scimitar 95 but he didn't seem to hit any better in melee than my krag barbarian who had a greatsword skill of 30.<br /><br />I suspect the chances to hit do not improve linearly. Much like old school D&D, monsters do not have a full set of stats and I don't think they have their own weapon skills (offence/defence). The chance to hit is probably a lookup table that uses the offence skill (defence skill when a monster is attacking) that is modified by factors like strength, dexterity, level, attack and defence types. I can't say for certain but my guess is the bonus to hit each point of offence gives you gets smaller and smaller the higher the level. This is just my feeling from having played the game through several times. <br /><br />Of course considering most of my experience was 20 years ago I could be very wrong about a lot of this but I am getting the same feeling from my current game.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965755584674641638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-9533833512336035462013-04-02T20:00:47.630-04:002013-04-02T20:00:47.630-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01965755584674641638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-32973310811749287692013-04-02T16:25:05.551-04:002013-04-02T16:25:05.551-04:00This is one of the more interesting games I've...This is one of the more interesting games I've seen on this blog. The interface seems frustrating and needless convoluted, but the combat itself seems to create those kinds of story-like play situations that are interesting to real about.<br /><br />I hope the creators of this game show up in the thread. Reading about their dreams while creating the game getting crushed by the marketplace is depressing, and yet that kind of thing was pretty frequent. It'd be nice to find out what happened to them and what they had planned for sequels from them directly.<br />Rodneyliveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476187929555342435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-31767526455031778202013-04-02T13:02:51.498-04:002013-04-02T13:02:51.498-04:00It was.It was.tharkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376224119809136388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-65494300858844239432013-04-02T12:35:48.813-04:002013-04-02T12:35:48.813-04:00You mentioned long loading times.
