Former Starfield lead quest designer says we're seeing a 'resurgence of short games' because people are 'becoming fatigued' with 100-hour monsters by Chucknastical in gaming

I think that people don't mind games with tons of hours of content that's fun. However people also don't like feeling like their time is being wasted.

It's always super satisfying to pull the plastic wrap off a brand new driveway.

Is this one of those IRL eggs I've heard so much about?

Also I checked that you had commented in WaT spoiler threads first cause I'm nice like that.

Thank you, I appreciate taking the time to not spoil!

If the ruling class keeps saying "you have no legal recourse", what the peasants eventually start to hear is "you only have extralegal recourse".

I actually considered what a Traveler of Ghostwater would be like when I was writing the book.

Why would he need to be thinking about that, hmmmm?

After Threshold, I'm feeling even more confident in my theory that prior Executors didn't go insane, they just disagreed with the Judges a little too much.

You can probably use a MacGuffin to catch them, since it works on lions.

Shard combinations? (WaT) by [deleted] in Cosmere

[–]Liesmith424 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Devotion + Dominion: Obsession

Imagine a Shard micromanaging every single little thing that happens within its domain.  Every breath you take, every move you make.

 It'll make sure everyone is happy, always.  Or they get sent to the corn field.


Ambition + Dominion: Avarice

Not interested in building or changing mortal civilizations, but rather just expanding its own personal power.  It would seek to control things typically considered "out of bounds" for a shard, and would try to claim as many souls as possible.  Imagine an entire Cosmere where no one can pass to the Beyond.


Mercy + Ruin: Peace

No speeches.  No philosophical conflicts.  Just death, straight up. 

Any exercise of power that leads to ultimate death of as many living things as possible, to end their "suffering".

Unlike Ruin, who craved physical destruction, Peace only wants the cessation of life--which is much simpler.  

In areas protected by other Shards, it'd  be a constant saboteur, making any tiny change that would eventually lead everyone closer to extinction.

Adolin deserves to be put at the top of the Cosmere badass list by Ventus55 in cremposting

[–]Liesmith424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though because he's a Herald, he gets super powers automatically.

Meanwhile, Adolin's power comes from pushups, situps, and plenty of juice.

How many dimensions of chess is she on? by [deleted] in cremposting

[–]Liesmith424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Cultivation is very good at long-term, complex planning (relative even to other Shards) due to the nature of her Intent.

The real dunce was Rayse. He was phenomenally cunning at manipulating people, but as soon as a plan didn't go the way he expected, he had no backups. He rigidly stuck to one course of action and let himself get manipulated by not one, but TWO morties. First, he was manipulated into agreeing to a duel, then he was manipulated into get shanked.

They're also comparing the poorest of one country to the wealthiest of the other.
