NEWBLACK'S PROFILE

Welp, people say that if you leave your ideas long enough somebody else will make them (your post in the introductions thing mentions something that sounds like it comes close to an idea I had for a game, at least part of it).

Anyway this is pretty easy to make... probably. I don't know about scripts at all but it's really just a bunch of variables like "BobAffection" for "Bob" and whenever your player does something that wins Bob's affection then you tell the game to add to the value held in variable "BobAffecion", same with actions that decrease affection, just lower the value held in the variable instead of increasing it.

Then for interactions you just have a conditional branch at the start of the interaction event or whatever that checks the variable "BobAffection" for certain criteria... Like "If "BobAffection" is greater than or equal to 5 then do x, if not do y"

This is the basic working behind a thing like that and can all be handled with events if you want to do it that way.

lol, I dropped all my anti-toxin and anti-rad hypos because I'm hardcore. (or more because I have Derichard rocking the psi-amp now). Also is this patch gonna be up for download? And developer mode? :O I don't remember knowing how to access such a thing :O (I don't want to cheat anyway, but now I'm intrigued).

Also do shotguns work yet?

EDIT: Regarding experience being dished out too easy, I'm not 100% sure it's too easy, especially with the new enemies like the swallowtail and the mechanic enemies. That said my MC kills pretty much everything thanks to upgraded guns, a level 5 wield stat and 3 turns per fight, (my other characters are support characters/pack mules/have more field-related skills instead/there to clear up what MC can't kill in three turns) toward the end of the previous installment I was looking pretty ludicrously overpowered and just winning entire encounters on MC's first set of turns (getting sweet one-hit kills with the shotty/maxed out pistol), but the start of chapter 4 has me encountering a degree of challenge in fights again. But I feel sorry for people who didn't make their MC carry nothing but guns and ammo and put all their points into combat.

PS: Some menus really need an optional "exit" command.. Waiting for Cambridge to walk back and forward between her default room position and a computer terminal three times because I want to use all three available security hacks is really irksome at times, I guess the same goes for the psi-amp menu, If I'm gonna decontaminate one party member I'm probably gonna wanna do that three times over (most of the time I move everyone together and that means everyone gets irradiated together :>) meaning three trips through the inventory, psi-amp menu, target selection, etc. ;_;

I'd say that psi-amp abilities should stay on target select until manually backed out by the player but that probably messes with your turn-based events system. (Indicators of statuses will be really useful for things like toxin/radiation too.) Computer terminals should definitely stay on the main menu until backed out by the player instead of having the same character walk across the room many times to do stuff. There are probably more similar menus and stuff like that I haven't encountered yet in the game but the same logic would probably apply across the board :x

(I complain because I care ;_;)

PPS:

If this is about Set Discrepancy, I know, EP4 comes out today <3
