Yeah 100% agree the problem is with the concept of enemy levels at all. The idea that you start as a rat-catcher and end up a demigod can stay in the 80s.

Wicked Them Beats posted:Unfortunately gamers were conditioned by other games to ignore warnings, so when the guy at Sloan says "hey buddy don't go north the things up there just get mad when you shoot 'em," your average player figured it was meaningless banter like in everything else they play and got wrecked by the baby deathclaw hanging out in the road. The developers also put two very obvious alternate route through a canyon and one behind Goodsprings and peppered the beginning area with numerous stealthboys so they could proceed past that one dangerous route if they wanted to. People still bitched and complained that it was impossible to get past it. Back Hack fucked around with this message at 19:56 on May 21, 2020 |

the true innovation away from levels and HP is dwarf fortress style health where if you get chopped by an axe you die because specific blood vessels rupture

Wicked Them Beats posted:I prefer something like New Vegas which had limited level scaling: enemies scaled within set level ranges, so it was possible to wander into an area underleveled and get torn apart because the enemies there had a minimum level of 20, etc. That's how Skyrim did it too.

My favorite will always be the guy who was mad that he accidentally made his character gay because he didn't know what "confirmed bachelor" meant. Thought it was about bro-ing with the bros, and didn't understand what could possibly be gay about the icon being a vault boy giving another vault boy a massage. I hope we get similar meltdowns from Cyberpunk.

steinrokkan posted:Did it? My strongest memory of Skyrim is that every single loving draugr eventually became an overlord or whatever the miniboss style variant was called. its absolutely how Skyrim did it and it's very obvious and distinct from Oblivion if you go back and play them draugr just have a level range of like 1-45 and Skyrim asks you to spend a lot of time poking around tombs, so they're one of the areas of the game where the level scaling is most apparent but you'll still find weaker variants mixed in and eventually outlevel them, which was not the case in Oblivion, a game that was more than happy to have you accosted by epic bandits rocking full daedric armor (exacerbated by one of the worst-conceived leveling systems of all time, which made it stupidly easy to actively gimp yourself by doing the intuitive thing) Skyrim also has a bunch of enemies with higher initial levels than draugr so encountering one of them is mega-bad (vs. Oblivion where it's often easiest to do things at a super-low level), and exploration is actually worthwhile because the loot is not (almost) purely level-based and indifferent to your location LGD fucked around with this message at 22:14 on May 21, 2020 |

Wolfsheim posted:You're describing, like...Tomb Raider. What does leveling add to the equation except slight variance in difficulty? You're always gearing up and leveling skills to be at the appropriate difficulty for the zone. I honestly think that button mapping has a bigger affect on gameplay variety than leveling. Games that have very limited ability slots for their buttons constrain my play much more than differences in leveling scheme.

genericnick posted:I could have sworn that was also in Morrowind. I remember I had piles of Deadric armor that I sold piece by piece to the crab. Morrowind has something a little different - as you go up in level, the table for spawning enemies expands. So at level you 1 you hit little muddogs and those stupid cliffracers, but at level 45 you can still get the mud dogs and cliffracers, but you can also run into other adventurers, angry deadra, followers of the big bad guy, etc. Each zone in Morrowind had a max scale for it's encounters ( so the ashlands started encounters at level 15 IIRC, even if you were level 2, and the red mountain started encounters at like level 25. This is also why you ran into cliffracers god damned everywhere, because they were a flying enemy and were in every lower level spawn chart, and in many zones they were the ONLY low level spawn.

By the time you kill 6,000 people and get to max level, your knees are busted so you can't run, you have trouble closing your left hand so you have to put your weapon away before interacting with objects in the game, and you're always suffering the effects of sleep deprivation or chemical addiction because when you close your eyes, all you see is their faces.

It took a while to click for me, but it was really worth it once you realize that exploration comes first. It's also the only game I've played where the DLC is arguably better than the base game.

We're talking about Prey 2006 right?  grieving for Gandalf posted:I just hate fighting level 5 city guards now and coming back to the same area later and they're level 20 city guards. what changed in story to make these dummies tougher? This was something I really liked about MMORPGs back in the day...I remember in Anarchy Online you could come back to town and kill the guards when you got to a high enough level! I wonder how this will work in Cyberpunk, if areas will have set NPCs with rhythms, like Radiant AI, or more like a GTA game with randomly spawning ~filler~ NPCs. chitoryu12 posted:One of my favorite moments in the New Vegas thread was a guy bitching so hard that it caused JE Sawyer himself to tell him how wrong he was.
