      Reminds me of a D&D campaign where the DM had drawn mounds of gold on the map. After we beat the bad guy (probably a dragon), I asked a series of questions, "So is all that gold actually there?" "And we can take it all?" "How tall exactly is that pile?" Frantically, I set about calculating the volume of the described shape and dividing it by the volume of a coin (probably used a quarter). I presented my assessment of the vast wealth we had just acquired... the party, was absolutely in agreement that the calculation was sound. The DM actually gave it to us! That only worked once though, lol.

    This seems to be universal, especially with ranged enemies. They have infinite ammo, until you kill them. You can never loot more than a handful of ammo from them, regardless of the mountains they fired at you. Each bandit goon takes 11 arrows to kill, but their loot only has 3 arrows.
    It's frustrating. If they have limited ammo, you should be able to run them out, or they should try to conserve it. If they have a huge amount of ammo, then you should be able to take it!

    • @cymond
      @cymond 2 роки тому +26

      @@asdfqwerty6122 Ok, so give the enemies a limited supply and a better AI. First, design them so they are more careful with their ammo. Second, if the player does kill them quickly, they're rewarded with more ammo. Alternatively, you can bait them into wasting their ammo, and then they draw melee weapons.
      Of course, it's also possible to design a game where ranged weapons have other drawbacks, so unlimited ammo isn't a problem. Or maybe there's a functional limit on how much you can carry, regardless of how much they drop. Or the enemies carry a wide variety of weapons, so the kind of ammo they drop forces the player to constantly swap weapons to whatever ammo is available.
      It can be done well.

      @@cymond It can be done.. but it completely changes the gameplay into something the developers didn't actually want the game to be. If you were trying to design a completely different game then it would be fine, but that's just not the game they wanted to make, and I think most players ultimately wouldn't find the end result as fun either.
      Realism is nice and all, but gameplay should always be prioritized first - if you can get the gameplay and also have realism then all the better, but if push comes to shove and you have to choose one or the other then having good gameplay is far more important than being realistic.

    I love it when an enemy has a random drop that's literally something they're wearing or holding.

      That's why Skyrim is cool. Anything a character has is an actual item you can take.

    This is so true in every game with randomised loot from enemies or chests. Fight an epic boss, finally break into a chest set on super hard, or hack the magical lock that explodes in your face, leaving you cursed if you botch it up...and you get two minor mana potions, which is especially bullshit if you're a non-spellcaster!

      I recall someone made a mod a while back to make the fight more like Grigori from Dragons Dogma. World Eater Beater I think it was called. But yeah, that was a disappointing final boss.

    I remember in classic Everquest seeing a group of high level characters fighting one of the cityguards in either Qeynos or Freeport and noting they all had high level armor, asked if I could have the guard's (apparently) bronze helmet. One of them responded "What? Oh, no, these guards have no gear." and I was like "What? It sure looks like he has full bronze armor..."
    This was the moment I learned the horrible, horrible truth that most MMORPG npcs armor was purely cosmetic. Also that nobody wanted warriors in classic Everquest. Stopped playing not long after.
