I remember seeing this topic show up in a thread on Wasteland 2 over here a while back so I thought I might paste it here, see what everyone else thinks:

http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1710

I'm leaning more towards OP on this.

RPGs are a lot more interesting when you fuck around with different builds and they're all valids options in some way or another. The idea of having a better approach to diplomacy with a full speech party over a party that covers everything would do a fair bit to making quests more fun to work with. More options in quest design and approach is always a good thing.

specialist builds

oh hell yes, definitely

really outlandish ones might require specific balancing or additions to the content to be viable though, so there's a time and resource factor there, I think the group bonus thing might be the quickest way to go about it

best thread on there I've seen linked here btw

asking to bring on the explosions, the violence, the nudity, etc.,

But I *like* explosions, violence, and nudity.

These are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.

Maybe it's your evil side, the one who isn't afraid to admit things NormalTwinkie is in denial about

If you've ever worked in a kindergarten, you've probably noticed how one child sometimes begins to chant something, such as "all bears are toys, all bears are toys", then other children will join in with him, so that after a while every child in the room is chanting, "all bears are toys, all bears are toys." You might put in, "No they are not. That one in the picture, for example." They would continue, "all bears are toys, all bears are toys."

That really happens, and quite often too. It's also exactly how adults in academia think and behave most of the time.

Re: Characters should KO, not die [poll added]
by VaultDweller » April 19th, 2012, 1:56 am
Personally im in favour of KO if any form of permanent death is included it should be from ABSOLUTE stupidity or laziness that leads to it.

Reason being... well simply put this issue comes up in EVERY game and the same ALWAYS hold true, "some" people like the idea of perma death (not sure why, but they do), but most don't. But when perma death is/has been included people have invariably hated it. "What do you mean my 40+ hours are now meaningless as all my characters but one are dead and I can no longer continue wtf!!! etc..etc.".

So why bang our heads against the same walls only to discover the same end result all over again. For me I'd sooner see some forward development on death mechanics not stagnated or backward moving death mechanic concepts.

Lets not forget PLAYING the game is where the fun comes in, if a game mechanic prevents us from playing it then that absolutely is NOT fun.

I love how paultakeda calls VD a noob :

I again point to the disconnect golden 90s and younger RPG gamers appear to have with the concept of a party-based game, where the player plays the party and no one character is their avatar.

In response to VD's quote here:

VaultDweller wrote:the enjoyment from games comes from "playing them", if i die and I cannot continue then im not playing and therefore not enjoying the game anymore.. Death is not fun.

Underline by paultakeda.

I died five times in Super Mario and now the game won't let me continue playing. Wtf? Why am I being punished? I thought this was supposed to be fun?

This is not the real VD, considering how unforgiving Age of Decadence is about punishing stupidity and mistakes with death, almost like those old Sierra adventure games.
