So I was reading this forum while at work. Discussing in another thread the mechanics of ranged attacks (spells/missiles). Remembered there was something in the manual about it.
Got home, got the manual and got disappointed!
Then I thought about it: its not the bloody manuals fault! The manual just tells me the values involved but keeps the formula secret. Hell, this
is realistic, isnt it? You know roughly what happens, but you dont know exactly! So this is fine, as it saves me a lot of research and mathematics before playing the game. It keeps the magic and the flair inside the game...
...but then I'm reading this forum, and people here seem to know so much more, which
might give them an advantage. Not that I have played MP so far (but I definitely intend to, anyone in for PBEM btw?), but I'm just anxious to know more and more and I just cant stop reading this forum, although thats in some sense bad for me (a real spoiler somehow). I guess I spent more time in this forum than actually playing...urgh!
Now my question: How do you know all this stuff? Bribing Illwinter?? Debugging??? Blackmailing Illwinter???? Or is it simply being addicted to this forum long before I was even aware this game existed?
(PS: Probably wont reply until tomorrow, as I try to play at least
one turn today right now!
)
Got home, got manual, got disappointed!
