Default Re: Random Magic Paths - is it truly random?

Well, it is an obvious fact that over half of all PC games have poor random number generators. I'm sure this is just another example of that.
I assume that you talk about pseudo-random number generators (because all software RNG are totally deterministic), But then that is some statement. Obvious why and to whom? Over half - where this number comes from? poor - how do you define "poor"?

To find a fault in most current pseudo-RNG (usually they have one fault or another) one needs to do quite a bit of research, which doesn't look possible by observing game's behaviour, because it would take too much time to collect meaningful statistics.
