But I might need 99 of every potion for the last boss!
This is why I like roguelike mechanics. Permadeath encourages me not to hoard and the hunger clock encourages me not to grind.
I still hoard and often just die on my pile of loot :(
So what you’re saying is I’ll never actually need it and it’s just for players trying to make the game easier
And that if I use it I’ll be without it in the presumably increasing difficulty to come
I’m really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn’t infinitely produce.
Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools
there are iron farms though…
Minecraft existed for a long time before iron golems were added
SMH damn kids don’t even know about the before times when leaves didn’t despawn on their own and minecraft cost less than $10
I’m a proud 10€ alpha version buyer. There was no hunger bar back then and mushroom stew was the shit.
It’s a shame Notch completely detached from his creation, tho.
He detached from reality not too much later in so it’s probably for the best.
It’s not a shame, Notch completely detached himself from reality.
Didn’t he drop a hard R while saying that only white people should vote? I am as anti-cancel cultures the next rational person, but you deserve to be detached from more than just a video game if you pull that in a public forum.
So I decided while playing Fallout 4 (around the time it came out) that I was going to try to break this habit, because it meant I never got to use any of the cool shit.
I made this decision while retaking the castle, fighting the queen crab thing. I used all the mini nukes I had on it.
Those who have played the game knows what happens next… after killing the queen, the king emerges. Way bigger, way harder to kill.
I’ve been a hardcore no exceptions hoarder ever since
Maybe I’m having a mandela effect moment but I don’t remember a “way bigger, way harder to kill” mirelurk king after the queen. The mirelurk king in-game is the size of a deathclaw tops and I think it’s stats are definitely weaker when compared to the queens. Is there a special one that spawns after the queen that I am forgetting?
You are definitely right, not sure what this guy is on about.
Reminds me of when I finished the first Max Payne.
I was all kitted out. Rocket launchers, full deagles, you name it. I used my little starter pistol all throughout this fight on the tower that I thought was leading up to the very end… only to have credits roll while I sat there with a full fat armory of glorious destruction - forever unused.
My characters in BG3 can barely walk they’re carrying so many potions and scrolls, The weak stuff isn’t worth wasting a turn using and the strong stuff might be useful later…
I remember the same from when I was a kid, though BG was the only time it paid off because you can start BG2 with your party you finished BG1 with so I had loads of stuff I could carry through the whole geme without using.
