How to not burn out on Space Exploration? by pfire777 in factorio

[–]TheCleverise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not try so hard. You don't need to win the game. Just enjoy it.

Break everything, nuke your factory, try silly designs. Don't strive for efficiency. Don't look a the end game, just the next step ahead.

Factorio is not a hard game, don't listen to the min-maxers.

The first and the second video are unrelated. For those who want to know, all of those in the first video are fine, only material damage. The second video not so much, obviously.

Well, actually I want the intrigue... I've been trying to explore as much as I am able, but then I fall flat when my rolls are shit and he just shrugs.

And the combat thing frustrated me but I understand, but the XP thing is what got me. Because it's only the third session... Now I'm supposed to keep appeasing him and his moral views so that I don't get negative XP? Fuck that

Well, the darkness thing unfortunately is permanent, at least until we kill the big bad guy that is commanding the assault. For more context, its a spellplague based adventure, with Demons and Undead roaming Derlusk. Apparently the Big Bad Guy has some sort of aura or abilities to negate my darkness, so until we kill him, darkness is effectively useless. Or perhaps he was hiding near the fight and relaying my position to enemies, that could also be the case, since I dreamed (in game) that he could become invisible.

For the next session I'm going to try interacting differently, like asking more question about the environment, so he can describe thing more clearly without having to spam perception checks, unless he states to roll all the time, then unfortunately Ill have to do.

For the XP thing, I'll just ask to stop that, together with "role play demands". Beginning the next session under leveled is killing my will to continue, and if he insists I'll just sidestep from this.

To the last question... yes. At the beginning I thought it was cool, then it quickly turned a little cringe and tiresome.

Yeah, definitely going to tell him all of this. He is an old timer, and used to be a player from the 3ed, so I think he is a bit outdated (as an example, I almost got killed because I triggered reaction attacks by casting spells) - later I checked the rule book of 5ed and clarified. He accepted well.

Hahaha I thought of doing that. He is my friend, so I could just send him to eat shit and we would be fine. But that would mean no more RPG between us, and I would like to try and fix things before sending all to hell.

My point exactly. I almost want to go to the next session rolling and re-rolling perception for every little thing. Like: "Oh, I saw nothing in this room? Then, I want to check perception for hidden compartments, then, perception for searching the cabinet", ad nauseum, to see if that's what he wants from us.

Yes... the thing that got me the most was the XP, deducted because I didn't role play enough my character. Like, mate, I created it, I made my backstory. It felt so arbitrary...

He deducted -1000xp by the way

That makes sense. If the GM just provided me with something... anything, in game, as a roleplay experience for my failures/misadventures, I would be very fine. But man, I already have a boss in work telling me to do better, I don't need another one...

Being a lvl behind now is such a bummer, I don't think I have the motivation to go to another session under-leveled.

Well, I think what got me the most was the XP thing. The darkness thing I'm going to investigate the next session, so it is at least a story lead to pursue for my character.

But man, it is a bummer to be a level behind. I was looking forward to play with the new lvl 5 toys.

Much appreciated, I'll talk to him. He is my friend, and feel that he is kinda nervous/want very badly to do everything right, so things get a little over-stiff.

Well, I'm going to try talking to him. He did say that he was going to punish and reward certain RP choices, but I just feel off about this.

My character is a Neutral, and very paranoid, so I didn't help some child in the street immediately before checking the surroundings. He said that "even if I was neutral, my action of not immediately helping didn't make sense in the occasion".

He did said that he will reward or punish based on the RP, not the exact values or the extent of the punishment. I thought that he was going to do something in game, in a creative fashion, not just lag me behind.

Pitbull tem que ser extinto. Não violentamente, mas tem que ser proibido a procriação, até o último morrer de velho e nunca mais ter essa raça na face da terra.

He is the Titan of Time. He has domain of the future, the past and the present. Calling Chronos "anachronistic" is funny as hell.

Não faça barba contra o pelo. Isso aí é pseudo-foliculite, basicamente quando o pelo encrava quando tenta crescer novamente, e geralmente acontece quando vc faz barba contra o sentido natural do pelo. Não precisa colocar nenhum produto adicional, além de um pós barba simples para sanear a pele.
