    Matiha Quest Loot

    That room gives 225 rupees. 255 could be a reference to a lot of old games. Numbers like 255 and 65,535 tend to show up a lot in older games since these are the max values for certain types of variables (256 and 65,536 possible values respectively, both powers of 2, numbered 0-255 and 0-65,535).

    Sheer Laziness or Simple Convenience

    That part made the intent very clear. Everything before that is incomprehensible, at least to me.

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    I would accept them if I thought they were valid. I don't. First, your premise is flawed. It's not like you stare at a generic character and actively try to create a personality. Headcanon is created organically and effortlessly as you play. Generic characters are much, much less work on the...

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    It wouldn't be all that hard to balance their stats so that having access to a standard power set for their class would be functional. Again, if people want super fleshed out characters, they could use the regular companions. Those players who prefer generic could use generics. Options are...

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    Apparently there's a joke here, but I don't get it. I think, because there are so very few companions and few of them are likely to match any particular player's preferences (be it mechanically, thematically and/or sexually), the game would benefit from having a much, much wider variety of...

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    Ah, so it's a deliberate design choice... That's unfortunate. It basically disallows generic combat companions. At the very least I would have created two categories for party members, story companions and generic recruit. Imagine having access to a dozen (or even infinite...

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    Yes, that's what I said... the more content a character has, the harder it is to have that character as a companion. For example, because Brint can be turned into Brienne, there has to be tons of extra content written to account for that in game events (for when you meet his family, etc). It's...

    What are your thoughts on Berwyn being removed from the party?

    Apparently the reasoning was that it's difficult to have a character with a lot of content as a companion. While I think that it should have been a choice (either keep him as a companion with an incomplete storyline, or complete his events and have him be an NPC with a lot of content), I never...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    You'll notice I said personally stronger. +1% Sexiness per Presence isn't going to compare to what any other stat can give you. Tanking is a matter of taking the hits for your party. That is the modern-day definition of the gaming term, "tanking". Like I said, I don't like it (and I hated D&D...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    I'm not saying Leadership isn't necessarily the best way to spend your points, but if you invest in a stat that makes your other party members stronger, you didn't invest in a stat that made yourself personally stronger, thus you're personally weaker. And your party members are stronger. You'll...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    I realize that "taunting" is a relatively new thing in gaming. It really took off with MMOs, where class roles were massively exaggerated. I personally hate the concept and much preferred back when every character had individual survival skills, but the new model has become more popular and I...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    It's definitely not a niche piece of armor and is good for most characters. If you count that as a factor, then it brings the Leathers far ahead. Lamellar is indeed very good, on par with the Leathers and Conqueror's. It's terribly underrated because it doesn't have anything special, but all...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    It's definitely a great chest piece. All positive stats, the Armor is good, the Ward is good, solid Evasion. Plus a few minor benefits (Sexiness, Frost Resist, Light). I like it a lot. Don't know if it's that much better than others, though. The Conquerer's Breastplate has almost as much Armor...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    Yeah, it depends what your definition of "broken" is. For most people, "broken" is not the same as "game-breaking".

    one handed caster main weapons?

    If they're not significantly stronger, they should at least be unique and do things that nothing else does, have some big stats but big drawbacks, or enable a build that would normally not be viable but with the proper specialized equipment is good. The horizontal progression approach.

    one handed caster main weapons?

    That's pretty in-depth, and I think the point is very valid. 50 ArmorPen is just super, super good against enemies that are relevant. I will say in Kyubi's defense that, according to what was said before, the tests did not include crit damage, so that's not why the tests ended up favoring the...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    But you cannot get the Captain's Greatsword anywhere near as early. You're giving it an absurd advantage by testing it against low-armor enemies which would never be relevant for a player using it. Likewise, using the Griefmaker on low-armor enemies that are irrelevant for someone who would have...

    Awesome. That's gonna disappoint a few people but it's undoubtedly the right decision, that thing is absurd.

    one handed caster main weapons?

    Cool, I'll be looking forward to seeing its stats. I doubt it could be as strong as the Control Rod but it doesn't need to, it just needs to come close. Hmm... I'll start by saying that I greatly appreciate people who are willing to test things. That's how you figure things out. I spent quite...

    one handed caster main weapons?

    Well... the game attempts to cater to a very wide range of tastes, and that means any single player will usually only end up liking a small portion of the content. Makes you feel like the game wasn't made for you, but it's really not personal. Everyone has something they like, they just have to...
