They do need a new flagship. They went from Sopranos to True Blood to Game of Thrones, and GoT is almost over.

I was gonna say too, they could still be brothers-in-law, rear end in a top hat is just an even bigger rear end in a top hat than previously thought and was talking about the dude's wife, paving the way for him to fall in wuv with Doloresbot. But yeah, they're probably just co-workers/"friends".

You just have to design quests where losing doesn't depend on the player dying. Failing to work out the clues and find the treasure in time, failing to save the damsel in distress, etc.

The Notorious ZSB posted:My big quandry atm is what's the real protection from users killing other users? It sounds like something that shouldn't happen, but the Man in Black totally kills one of the users thinking he's a host in the town. Should that be possible, or is he really somehow "cheating" the system having been visiting long enough to have found loop holes? Well, you can't kill humans with the guns at all, and I think the waiver only protects the company, not guests. So if you hurt another guest with a knife/rock/etc., you can be charged, but the company can't be sued, I assume. Lycus fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Oct 13, 2016 |

precision posted:So if someone buys a week, and Dolores gets killed on day one, is she back the next day with no memory or is she only back once all the guests who would remember her have left? She's probably getting repaired and in storage until the start of the next narrative loop. She has a routine, but I don't think you were supposed to assume that her waking up after MiB killed her was literally the next day. Unless I'm forgetting something, the only "cleanup" that we saw was when that one host was malfunctioning and they decided to go ahead and pull all the updated hosts.

The androids are far more magi-sciency than the smart bullets, but we're used to them in fiction, so it's not a "thing".

Shows/movies that are basically "the modern world with androids" seem very common and are to blame for some people not realizing that androids indistinguishable from humans are magi-science.

If you watch Star Trek, you have to accept transporters and FTL travel. If you watch Westworld, you have to accept smart bullets and fleshy androids. That's how sci-fi works. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if the gold package entitles you to a vest that reduces the impact. I'm curious how the bullets will feel to William.

The Westworld site is pretty cool. If you tell Aeden a host name, it'll tell you what sort of quests you can do with them. A Delos employee, it'll tell you what their job is. It won't talk about guests because of privacy, but will say this about MiB: "Just between you and me, though, the Man in Black is something of a VIP."Judge Schnoopy posted:Also if Ed Harris gets to use a knife what's to stop him from not realizing a host is actually a guest and slicing a real human throat open? quote:(b) Statistically speaking, you are more likely to die from lightning strike than to die while in a Delos park. However, the following causes of accidental death have occurred within the Delos Destinations compound: buffalo stampede, self- cannibalism, accidental hanging, drowning, 3rd-degree burns, autoerotic asphyxiation, blunt force trauma, allergic reaction to non-native plant life, falling from great heights, common manslaughter, tumbleweeds. You absolve Delos, Inc. of any wrongdoing if you or anyone in your party suffers bodily harm while using The Service, and you agree to not sue or prosecute Delos, Inc. or any of the smaller entities falling under the Delos Corporation.

Scooter_McCabe posted:I mean how would they know not to chop her up. 1) If they're just regular vacation goers and not actually psychotic, you could just say "Hey, don't kill me, assholes. I'm a guest," as soon as you notice they're invincible. 2) According to the waiver, manslaughter does happen occasionally. Your family cannot sue Delos.

Nano-anything is way, way, way, way, way less "lazy" than androids indistinguishable from humans. Accepting that as part of this world but not nanotech makes no sense to me. That's some bizarrely picky suspension of disbelief.

Corte posted:What interests me about this is the divergence under "attack at the ranch". How do the hosts differentiate between an amateur and skilled guest? How is the guest treated differently if they are skilled? It doesn't seem to account for the interaction between MiB, Teddy and Dolores during the first episode assuming MiB is a skilled guest. I'm assuming that's just another way of saying "guest 'wins'" (kills Teddy, does what he wants with Dolores) and "guest 'loses'" (guest gets shot by Teddy, gets scared and runs off).

Not That Into You posted:Do the host's narrative always play out in the case that a guest is not present? I know they mentioned the hosts talking/interacting with each other away from guests was normal, but it seems like a waste of resources to have the Ranch House Attack play out if no guest is there to witness it and all the hosts memories are wiped for the next loop. The narrative tree seems to imply that the Ranch Attack only happens with a guest present. Otherwise, Dolores goes home peacefully, with or without Teddy. Pissflaps posted:Just watched this on Sky Atlantic in the UK and you didnt see much hacking, just Teddy being 'descended upon' - did you actually see this happen in the states on HBO?

Acer Pilot posted:i think you read that wrong, it happens if she picks up the can herself or if teddy does. But there's no "no guest" option at all in the Ranch Attack. Only "skilled guest" or "amateur guest". That's what I'm referring to. And there's peaceful paths for her or Teddy picking up the can.

So they're in a large outside (not underground or domed) facility and the surrounding area has the same desolation as the park. And it's big enough that visitors wouldn't see the control center while being close enough that you can just pop in to look for stray droids. They're inside the park. The headquarters is inside a big mesa. E: beaten.

There has to be a balance. An individual guest's need for immersion has to be balanced against the park's need to give all guests a chance to interact with Dolores. But don't be a weirdo and sit in the same spot and watch Dolores drop the can everyday. You're paying 40K a day, do something else.
