A New EB Tavern

[Che Roriniho]

I don't play the campaigns because I don't like following a scripted story.

"But I want to go here and do this"

Game: "SCREW YOU, DO WHAT I TELL YOU"

I just go along with it.you're one of those people who shouts at the telly, aren't you?

Having a scripted story is not a negative thing in itself. If it's a good story, having a scripted story is good. If it's not...

It's all about how it's laid up. A game can be completely linear with just one possible way out of every room (naturally not counting the way you came from) and still be absolutely awesome: all it takes is to always make it so you'll want to take just that way, that it's the one that would make sense. Sometimes a scripted story exactly what a game needs too; in fact, the reason why I love RPGs, but not MMORPGs, is because of the scripted story: it's what gives purpose to the game. If I'm just suppose to hit things till I level up, I don't see any point in playing.

That's my $0.02, anyway.

depends on the player I guess.

Anygame with a forced or "No game except this scripted story" automaticly gets thrown away for me.

A game has to have freedom of choice, like EB, X3 Reunion, EVE, gal-civ2 and the like.

It just feels like theres no point in playing if I can't choose what to do.

Would you play RTW if all there was Rome and you could only use a specific army, that could only march specific paths and could only conquer specific provinces in a specific order and conquer them using only specific tactics?

Well I know I wouldn't.

[Hooahguy]

well heres the thing.
its a campaign. they have scripted stories....
end of argument

[Olaf The Great]

I prefer games like Fallout that are open ended.

[Hooahguy]

[AlexanderSextus]

um, i dunno the recipe- cn u tell me how? sounds good....

Luelinks is down



I am not pleased


:(


Any LL'ers on here shout out for the cult.

[General Appo]

Luelinkers ey? Wierd people those. Ay, strange men.

[Hax]

Give me a drink.

I'm seriously fucking annoyed.

[General Appo]

Give this man a drink, quick!
What´s your problem Hax? C´mon man, you can tell me, I´m your friend. Yes, just lie down on this couch and tell me all about you life and credit card numbers.

[Hax]

Well..I was the leader of a modding team. And now I'm not anymore. And it really pisses me off.

WAT DA FUCK HAPPENED MANG?!?!?!?!


r u ok d00d?

[Hax]

Something got messed up somewhere..but I'd rather not talk about it anymore. It's just a shame that some people cling more to shiny skills than having a good team.

On the other side, I now have more time to work on AtB and my faction swap mod.

what mod were you working on?

[Hax]

Wars of the Diadochi.

[General Appo]

Them bastards! Don´t worry Hax, if I see one of them I´ll be sure to give him a message. With my fist!

In other news. Some time ago I said I wanted to show you a great song but it wasn´t on Youtube, well now I´ve uploaded it myself. And yes, I know nobody cares, but... screw you motherfu*kers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaL_z8cK68Q

[Che Roriniho]

Wars of the Diadochi.

Awwww... piss. I was ginna try that, but I am now boycotting it. Barkeep, a pint of your finest absinthe for this gentleman.

[General Appo]

Good idea CR. Let us all show our solidarity with Comrade Hax and boycott the WotD. In fact, we shall not just boycott them, we shall flame them whenever possible. Now, of to find their forum!

[General Appo]

Fellow brothers, I have struck the first blow against the WotD, now I need you to join me in our righteous fight to revenge Comrade Hax. Join me here for the battle! https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showt...93#post1990193

Also, anyone who have a TWC account should join me here or create one and then join me here. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...16#post3501216

[Hax]

That is unneeded for, Appo. Even though I do find it slightly amusing, it does not add to my reputation there. Let's give the proper example and just not go in to this any more.

[General Appo]

Alright, I´ll just flame them without mentioing your name, is that okay with you? I can always make up some other excuse.
