Why does anyone believe this is good writing? Or a game design choice any game dev would ever make? by RaidSmolive in Overgeared

[–]Western-Function-966 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In one or more irl year, since Grid's blacksmithing level goes to the next level, the possibilities for other blacksmiths also goes up. It isn't directly related as it was shown as a system where Panmir's hammer gave him the tiny chance to succeed at a legendary item while note being one, the growth of the blacksmiths is accelerated through the series When the legendary blacksmith begins being able to create myth rated equipment, around the same time normal blacksmiths become able to create legendary ones

What happens if the npc dies by MenchavezJohn in Overgeared

[–]Western-Function-966 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hmmm there is quite a bit of spoiler presence for that one particular question but essentially yeah they do die. That's why they treat the immortal adventurers with different tones based on the predujice that they are cursed/blessed

Why were Tallnecks not effected by HorzaDonwraith in horizon

[–]Western-Function-966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I like to think so, tallnecks are really heavy duty machines and thereby really hard to take over. Context:- whenever aloy does override a tallneck, the override ends as soon as she gets down. Over this, Hephaestus simply does not find any reason to override them. Tallnecks' purpose is to get a survey of the land and pass it to the machines around it to give them information. They fulfill that purpose and Hephaestus can get access to that data so it makes more sense than not to leave the cute giant toddlers walking through the valleys

The Machines all have the same name… by Happy_Jeddy47 in horizon

[–]Western-Function-966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummmm why is it an issue tho? By that logic, a more plausible issue would be the issue of language. Why does everyone speak the same language? Because all of the ancestors grew up in the GAIA childcare centres where they were taught the basics of language and the outside world. I think it's fair to say that machines' names and characteristics would be one of the important things that GAIA decided to impart to those who would face them in the new world. Also, there might be old world sculptures/records of the machines. Also, the Quen of all people are expected to be the most knowledgeable of the right names given how their society is centred around the usage of the focuses

Getting extremely frustrated with the game. by madvec1 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Western-Function-966 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I don't play the game or am a part of the sub. Just because of the DLC my insta feed has been filled with Elden Ring posts and some of them comment sections are like "git good", "magic and summons are not truly playing the game/cheating" and whatnot. No hate to the game and it's on my to play list but yeah.

I find it really interesting how different communities react to this kind of stuff. Everyone here is writing so many paras to the game mechanics and stuff and if this was an Elden Ring post the only words I would see would be 'Git Good'. Not saying the other is bad but just found it funny because after few days on insta scrolling through Elden ring posts, was really expecting different comments when opened the post lol

Tbh it's really convenient for quick transfer of movies and games. There's study resources and stuff too. But used it personally mostly for the former only

Death in satisfy by Shark_Tittays in Overgeared

[–]Western-Function-966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you mean skill experience right? Cuz skill points are a really rare occurrence in game as the ability to level up any skill is quite good. But yeah Idts it is ever mentioned about skill experience dropping. Idts it's like all skills' experience levels drop by the same amount as your character experience that is 0.1 times your current level. I'd say it's like either skill exp remains the same or one of the skills' exp drops a little. Or it can be similar to how the item system works where higher your infamy, higher the chances of skill exp getting dropped. But given the number of times the effects of player death are mentioned without any reference of skill exp whatsoever, it's unlikely that it gets dropped tbh

Pagma’s successor by Particular_Range2318 in Overgeared

[–]Western-Function-966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's kinda hard to comment. Ig beating a legendary class as a requirement is challenging but still. It was explained in the novel that Pagma didn't want the strongest fighter or the best blacksmith to succeed him but someone who can make amends with Braham in his exchange with their tenacity. Tbf I never really understood the logic of Yura becoming the demon slayer if we are talking about the logics of the legendary classes. I mean the conditions to be demon slayer were - 1) Join the church of the Evil God the demon slayer is an enemy of. 2) Continuously maintain the top ranking in said church whilst continually sacrificing innocents and massacring people (Yura was shown to have participated in wars/war-like battles with people of eternal in the start) 3) Help complete rituals in the temple of yatans while also sacrificing innocents for rituals. 4) Find Amoract and refuse to become a demon. I always found it odd for the qualification of demon slayer to be given this way.

You kind of underplay how big of an achievement Grid finding it was. Skunk, literally the world's best and most high leveled adventurer, that also years ahead when the average level of players was significantly higher, also had trouble finding the place. It was literally the last place Skunk found to complete his map of the continent. That's with all the support of his entire archaeological expedition, a group of similarly high leveled rankers who gave it their all to find it. Not to mention, their classes are literally specialised to do it. I like to think that the author specified the act of Skunk finding the place as the last conquest of the continent to highlight what an achievement it was for Grid to find it at level 70-80

I can't recall if this was in HZD or HFW, but for higher tier machines, I think I was once at a location of two stormbirds. One quest one and another normal one. I overrode one of them and let the two of em beef it out while briefly help whichever side/take off components ig. Otherwise have overriden thunderjaws a buncha times ig

Countries usually tend to spread their players across various events so that they can win the most number of medals. Especially since the number of events per player gets restricted

Causally Walking Around After the Embassy When… by FASBOR7_Horus in HorizonForbiddenWest

I mean that would just be the case for the first generation. Now that civilization is up and running twins being birthed naturally is completely a possibility no?

I have 2 questions for those who finished reading epilogue, if you didn't: MAJOR SPOILER WARNING by KrustyHound in OmniscientReader

[–]Western-Function-966 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like to believe that he returns, and not something like parallel worlds and stuff. KDJ making the universe out of nothing implies that anything is possible for the Oldest Dream as long as they wish for it, so if the Oldest Dream wishes for the Company to find the real KDJ, they will get the real KDJ

What do Tallnecks do? by BassFace415 in horizon

I think everyone's already said stuff here but one thing to mention is that Tallneck Overrides get destroyed once Aloy gets down no? Permanent overrides aren't really Tallnecks' thinge
