Crewdroog: hi! not related to above post, but to convo earlier. i've played a bit of din's curse (not a lot 'cause i'm here...) but so far I like it, though not the UI. and the story is....absent? i'm also feeling overwhelmed with the amount of choices i have for leveling.
HunchBluntley: Hello! Yeah, you definitely don't play that game (or any other Soldak game, from what I've heard) for the story. :D That's one of the reasons I liken it to a roguelike.
Out of curiosity, what was your issue with the UI? Admittedly, I haven't played many ARPGs on the computer (up until last year, I was without a PC of my own, so I was limited to my PS2 and a couple older consoles), so my frame of reference isn't exactly broad in this category, but I haven't had any problems -- unless you count my loose mouse wheel sometimes switching (without my noticing) my selected "quick" skill to another, less useful one at the most inopportune times.
GRRR. But that's a hardware problem. I've actually found the customizability(?) of the game as a whole to be quite nice.
EDIT (sort of): It took me, like, ten minutes to get this to post because the Reply system is not auto-adding the final '/quote' right now for some reason, and I didn't notice it the first half-dozen times I clicked 'Post my message'. Anyone else having this problem? (Apologies if someone else has already had this problem and mentioned it -- I'm still several pages behind, catching up from when I was out earlier.)
I was having that problem yesterday
lol for a minute i was thinking maybe i remembered you wrong! hahaha no worries.
I don't like where the mana/health is located. it would be easier if they were low so i could monitor it better than up in the left corner. also the character screen for equipping weapons and armor is meh. i can't put my finger on why i don't like it, but I don't. plus, the loot stats are just not put in a way that is easy to read. font? color? dunno. I don't mind the bag system, I got used to that with MMOs.
I thought I wouldn't like the graphics, but actually they aren't that bad and the pics on the website don't do the game justice. though, that's what happens when you zoom in in games like this. the combat isn't too bad, and I like being able to use keys to spam spells/attacks.
I'm ok with having a boring, ok story, but this one seems to have NONE. why am i collecting ears? 'cause I said so! i mean, we can try a little harder than that, yes? though i did like that I didn't get to a quest done fast enough and the folks got pissed and i lost reputation. that put a fire under my ass to get things done. hahahaha
Crewdroog: wow. that would be true love right there.
and i think you protest too much :)
actually, have you ever watched Venture Bros? if so, the Brisbyland episode?
CarrionCrow: Just had to wrack my brain for a scenario in which I'd actually do it.
And no, haven't seen that show.
The fear of being pinned beneath an animatronic Abe Lincoln for hours keeps me from it.
Might make me have a stroke or something.
lol
i don't care what those other guys say about you, you are alright. :)
