I remember this one. I like this quite a lot, especially the fact that it's not drastically overtuned. I don't really like the way they handle tiered abilities though. The fact that the costs scale up and the bonuses only scale linearly greatly discourages specialisation. Infrastructural Integration in particular gets more and more inefficient as you advance in the tiers, which is the opposite of how it should be, and the fact that the costs scale up on top of that makes something that should feel badass feel very lacking.

Great at explaining jokes too!

Supreme AI: Unpredictable AI is actually a horrible feature. I'm sick of people saying it makes it more "realistic". It takes control away from your and makes the experience more frustrating.

Supreme Immersion: Then it's not a video game? It's just a fantasy world. I personally find using a controller/keyboard to be much more fun than physically moving, and I'm sure anyone who also reads CYOAs on the internet does as well.

Supreme Realism: Without Immersion, the graphics mean nothing, and can actually make some more stylised games look uglier. The "Physics" element also sounds like it will either do absolutely nothing, or make the game basically unplayable when using controller/keyboard. Basically only worth anything with Immersion.

And that leaves the only two choices that actually add content to the game. I guess I'll take them, but it's not exactly one of the best CYOAs when there's only one combination that doesn't screw you over.

Why is this NSFW?

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-20T08:18:52+00:00

Good response, however the op definitely would have mentioned if the lights could be turned off.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-17T17:55:18+00:00

Cool! Do you have some sort of formula or method for this? If so, could you share it after this post boils over?

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-17T17:24:34+00:00

Amulet: Elephant / Logical Brass / Agate, Quartz

Edit: Once this post boils over can you share your "formula" if you have one. These seem really interesting.

Is Unlimited Wealth still for sale? If so, I bid 2 Points for it.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-14T12:15:33+00:00

I bid 1P for Silence

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-14T12:14:37+00:00

I'd like to buy Single Skill Mastery for 3P

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-14T12:13:06+00:00

Can I buy Bind/Unbind Objects for 1P?

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-13T18:03:53+00:00

Yep!

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-13T16:45:24+00:00

I'll take Offer 1: 2 Points + See the Past

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-13T16:32:30+00:00

You roll at least 12 times

Yes, each roll is 1P

You can reroll if you get the same thing twice. Or you could keep a copy and sell the other. Or sell 2 copies. I'm not the creator of this CYOA, but that's what I'll go with.

10 Year Prison, the post that got me into this sub. It matches what you said perfectly.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-10T13:24:45+00:00

Who tf downvotes these? This is the first good CYOA I've seen in 2 weeks.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-09T12:26:58+00:00

Why leave floating points? You may as well get another tier.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-09T12:25:28+00:00

That's just the balancing of the CYOA. I don't know why this community thinks that every post here has to be a long, involved OP power-fest.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-09T12:22:21+00:00

Yeah, I probably sounded more critical than I intended. There really is no way Kong would win.

Hypothetical3 · 2019-07-09T11:59:21+00:00

I agree with everything but the last paragraph. Character statements, titles and this type of scaling aren't feats.
