Re: useless mages?

That is stupid, how are you supposed to do spells quickly? You aren't. Spells are powerful attacks that can damage multiple enemies, they are supposed to take a little time to prepare. That's why you usually don't see wizards fire bolts from both hands at machinegun speed like Son Goku. They have t...

Re: Just a Grimrock Story

A good read; makes me want to read more of it. Nice choice of names, too; they seem quite appropriate.

It may have some errors to correct though. For example: "Jarmor glanced over at Shessia." instead of "Hesshia"

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building

i believe it's not only him, because that tactic is not cheating. it's not against rules. and it's the best tactic. The way I see it is that it's a failsafe. Even though every monster past the lvl 1 snails can destroy your party brutally if you stand toe-to-toe with it, every battle is supposed to ...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

Well it looks like you both picked the wrong game to play then? How about finding a game that fits to you better instead of trying to mold this game into something else? My gosh, what are you talking about? LoG is the most fun I've had in a game in years, why would I want to change anything about i...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

I don't want an action game. I want a role-playing game...and to me that means playing characters that can do things I cannot. Furthermore, the characters should not be limited by my own limitations. Thus the words ROLE-PLAYING. I'm for tactical turn-based combat. So am I ... but not in this style ...

Re: 2x2 strafing undermines character building [edited]

It appears that some people would prefer combat to be determined by character skill rather than player skill, hence this thread... Character's can't jump to the side? Party Movement isn't dictated by the characters? (You slow down when they are overburdened, and can't move when they have too much w...

Re: What's athletics useful for?

Same as daniel. My first run had a balance of several skills. Also, having the "porter" perk is useful for pack rats.
