I suspect even if it passes the 'character development' RPG test it probably won't score very high on the GIMLET as such, but it would still be fun to see Chet's take on it.

Almost every store carries a few of them, and no one store carries enough cash and ammo for me to empty a full loot run into them, so I'd usually wind up getting a stack more of them every time I went into town. <br /><br />Of course, my playstyle is to go over every place I visit with a fine-toothed comb, fill inventory to max then discard items in order of worse $/weight ratio. Also, yes, this is in part a roleplay choice, I was influenced early on by Daybreak 2250AD by Andre Norton, where guns are almost unknown, so the scavengers focus on useful stuff like good wood, writing materials, good paper, and so on.Canageekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03770924810559440307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-69307526229916298282017-08-14T01:22:40.947-04:002017-08-14T01:22:40.947-04:00I guess I'm just a suckier player There were t...I guess I'm just a suckier player There were times I didn't have enough stimpacks in FO3.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-44775774373111775282017-08-14T01:06:31.513-04:002017-08-14T01:06:31.513-04:00I found a mod that made stimpacks heal over time -...I found a mod that made stimpacks heal over time - there was no way to fix the issue out of the box.

If they get the great gear early on, that's excellent. They LOVE blowing through combats and winning over and over again with little effort. <br /><br />You have to realize, there are a lot of people out there who don't play games for the reasons that we play games. They play primarily to experience a sense of control that is lacking in the rest of their lives. The more control, the better. This is why you see people playing Civ way past the point at which they won the game, or getting characters to level 100, or whatever. They're not playing for the fun of overcoming a challenge, they are playing for the deep sense of satisfaction they get from - at last - being in control of something.

Talking dog aside (which is only for a brief period although he does play an important role), there are some clever puzzles if you like Sierra's humor. It is squarely not a CRPG but an adventure game, so it would be a diversion, but it is one of the best adventure games of its era, and one of the best of the King's Quest series.<br /><br />I noticed just now looking through your posts that you did not have any dog characters in Wizardry 6, so kudos for consistency!Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431741012966569454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-15094643790154058712017-08-11T18:20:02.935-04:002017-08-11T18:20:02.935-04:00I never played that one, but in general I would ob...I never played that one, but in general I would object to any dogs standing upright like men or talking.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-37033807914270028082017-08-11T18:16:25.416-04:002017-08-11T18:16:25.416-04:00But anyone who complains about this need only make...But anyone who complains about this need only make a few simple tweaks to the difficulty level.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-1491559672555754112017-08-11T18:15:14.318-04:002017-08-11T18:15:14.318-04:00Again, though, I don't know if either really h...Again, though, I don't know if either really helps me since none of my characters have skills there.
