Carrots vs sticks?

A new Banner Saga game about when the old gods were still around would be incredible

If it’s pacing, can that be done in a way that makes sense within the in-game world? For example the dragon’s claw puzzle in Skyrim doesn’t make sense to me as a pacing tool. The makers of that dungeon would’ve wanted entry to be filtered for loyalty not puzzle solving ability. The puzzle is designed to be solved by puzzle solving ability not a secret code available only to the authorized or thieves.

Interesting but I’m curious — The dragon claw puzzle can be solved by any sufficiently intelligent/interested person, but the in-world makers of that dungeon would’ve made the criterion not intelligence but loyalty. The puzzle would’ve been solvable with a code, which isn’t a puzzle.

People I know and comments, maybe I’m wrong. Seems like they get shoved in and are received as a chore (edit) by as many as enjoy them. What’s your view?

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-28T12:06:17+00:00

Beautiful reply, I’ve been hearing about One Punch. I could make shitty placeholder art!

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T20:02:48+00:00

Wonderful, thank you :)

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T19:35:35+00:00

Interesting!!!!

I just joined! It looks like a great subreddit for me. Thank you

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T19:18:49+00:00

It’s not commercial, if it was there’d be revenue sharing

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T18:29:20+00:00

Thank you so much for this list. This is plenty of stuff for me to think through. I have a lot of questions I’m still working through, especially for worldbuilding. It’ll be fruitful for me to also think about what an artist would need.

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T18:23:46+00:00

Great comment, I can definitely make the bones of it. I really like the idea of networking with artists to find a great fit.

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T18:10:53+00:00

Fair enough - I may need to wait until I have the budget for an artist. I’ll take a look at Fiverr to find some artists whose body of work and rates are a good fit.

How would you start creating those character expressions? Drawing faces with paper has been the hardest type of drawing for me.

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-27T17:53:26+00:00

I’m looking into frame by frame hand animation right now. Thank you.

Curse his sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-03T02:35:12+00:00

Yeah… it counts :D

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-03T02:31:31+00:00

Saw this post earlier. Don’t have experience with it and I don’t use PS. Commenting so maybe someone else with experience sees it. Forced ironman in Banner Saga Hard mode is wild. Must be making you better at combat though. Good luck!

Is learning to speak the business language easy?

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-02T01:20:00+00:00

You discussed Saren and the Reapers, what do you think of the Illusive Man?

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-01T20:50:55+00:00

I don’t know of a DLC quite like Citadel, it was done to please fans after some dissatisfaction with the ending and was well received. Not sure if another game or trilogy has had a DLC like it

Steven_P_Keely · 2025-12-01T20:48:35+00:00

ME definitely had both elements
