![]() ![]() Few slaves thinking of unionising, you go in and make sure these ideas are beaten out of their heads. Couple whores having a problem wi a touchy panderer, you take over the running, sample a bit o the merchandise and warn off their old boss. Thing is one door closes and another opens, suddenly you get shady characters wondering if you want a job, you get asked whether you can acquire shit or maybe rub out an annoyance for somebody. Might even find those righteous institutions won't talk to you if using your real name. Thing is though people talk and have long memories, me as a GM i'd hit the player where it hurts, hike up prices for a thief at the merchants, deny them or autromatically fail quests because you're not trusted enough, nobody trusts a tea leaf and you get that reputation stuck to you until moving on and even then it could follow you. But if you're in a law abiding area there should be other considerations, lets say watch is called interrupting a fight or the cries of the robbed and you have to pay a bit of geld as a price for stealing if the victim can prove it, hard sell but maybe you hand over a pittance if they've got witnesses. Personally I don't think that there's owt wrong wi a binary pickpocket skill, thing I think is wrong is the reaction: Standard reaction is you lose and fucker attacks you, doesn't make sense for some characters, others it does. +Stealing gives some exp and is actually a worthy investment both exp and wealth-wise if you are getting 100+ dex on your char. ![]() Stealing is limited to a relatively few characters. Bad because mah freedom, good because can't break the game this way. =Can only steal what's offered for stealing. Also, if you pulled that shit in a civilised area (like Khorinis), you would have to pay a fine to the local law enforcement, or else. If you manage to defend yourself, you may get away with it, if not - you got beaten up and your weapon and some of the money taken from you.Īdditionally, the person you stole from may not want to speak with you again. If you didn't - you failed.įailure usually meant the mark and maybe people nearby going apeshit on you for stealing, assaulting you. If you had enough dex for required tier, stealing is a 100% success. You could see all tiers you had enough dex for, plus the next highest tier. If you had enough dexterity, you would be able to "see" the option to steal from a character in dualogue. There were several tiers of difficulty, requiring a certain amount of character's dexterity for non-random success - 20/40/60/80/100/120. Most of named characters could be stolen from. Then as a skill, it was dependant on your dexterity. You had to learn pickpocketing as a skill first. I could see lots of room for improvement, but I just don't see the rewards. For most games, it's just a tacked on item. I could only see developers taking a thieving system seriously if it was germane to the game itself. It's a pass/fail event with predictable outcomes. Other games add pickpocket as an afterthought but don't really seem to give a rip about the reality of it. Just saying that Thief has a great thieving system because that's what the game is. Yes, i know Oblivion sucks and there are examples of how to exploit this. But big stuff had infamy, which couldn't be erased. Small offenses had a little bit of bounty, but not a lot. In this sense, Oblivion did one thing ok. Would anyone follow some guy, no matter how noble, if he was caught red-handed stealing from rif-raff in some small town? On the other hand, it's not exactly a murderable offense like in most games. Thing is, though, that stealing stuff from people's pockets doesn't exactly fit in with the "heroic" archetype, nor does getting caught stealing fit in with any historical model. ![]() Maybe pickpocketing outcomes are decided by your skill, but if caught the outcome comes down to the societal standing of the person you are stealing from (as in real life.) Maybe the NPC attacks and the guards show up to sort it out, based on player perks, charisma, and standing the outcome is decided. Also, just like real life, anyone with something worth stealing has some manner of protection. Another option would be that NPC's have randomized loot so that if you go back to an earlier save, the person you are trying to steal from may not have the same items. ![]() There are a few ways that work with any system: predetermined difficulty rolls/player rolls for all chests. ![]()

"This was something that we were gunning for at the time. When speaking about how it became a PlayStation VR 2 launch game, she suggests the studio releasing Zenith for Sony's first headset last year likely played a part. If something is unclear in your game, they'll push back and say isn't obvious to the player that they need to do something here or this is very misleading."įrazier continues, "I think it's a good because it means that they're involved in the content, and they want to keep it to AAA-minimum-like standard." "They have standards for frame rates and the types of bugs that are acceptable. So you're going back and forth with a developer relations representative," the executive says. "Oculus and Sony have approval requirements. Zenith is available on the Oculus Quest 2, Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR2, and SteamVR, and she explains that launching across platforms offered its unique hurdles. A lot of people focused on the VR side of just because the market is small." "So the biggest hurdle was two risky ideas that people are already on the fence about. " MMOs, you don't need to convince people that are a thing you just have to convince them that yours is good," she says. " MMOs, you don't need to convince people that are a thing you just have to convince them that yours is good" A lot of investors have been burned by the first round of VR that didn't quite pan out."įrazier adds that Ramen VR first had to convince investors that its concept for Zenith was reasonable and something that the team could pull off. So, by doing both of them together, many investors were very wary. "It was hard because VR and MMO are two of the riskiest things you can do. Zenith was the first game Frazier had ever pitched, and while she might have made it look easy by landing $35 million in funding for the studio last year, she assures us it was anything but. For example, welcoming members of the player base would help newcomers find and pursue quests and eventually try other content within the title. But by default, you're just talking to people".įrazier says these interactions help consumers understand the game's unique experiences. You can also get into a private chat if you have a big guild or a party. So, you just kind of are walking around talking to people. "It's very social we have global voice chat on by default. In fact, the social aspect of traditional MMORPGs is not terribly dissimilar from the metaverse chasers' notion of VR as a place for people to hang out with friends. Playing a VR game with the scale of a traditional MMORPG may sound overwhelming for consumers however, the CTO says the studio has not received that kind of complaint. From different classes to locations and quests, the title has the content one would expect from the genre. To Frazier's point, Zenith remains on a short list of VR games that provide users with an MMORPG experience. But we were thinking, why is no one making an MMO VR title?" So, we had some experience in the VR gaming space, and we knew that the next thing would be the same. She continues, "He and I had worked on a project before. Hack and then more recent programs like Sword Art Online." "It started because and I wanted to make a game based on our upbringing. "It started because and I wanted to make a game based on our upbringing." The studio's chief technical officer and co-founder, Lauren Frazier, sits down with to explain how the Final Fantasy XIV-inspired RPG found a home on different headsets and became a PlayStation VR 2 launch title.įrazier explains that her shared interest in anime with studio co-founder and CEO Andy Tsen sparked the idea for Zenith. Doing all of that when it's also a virtual reality game - as is the case with Ramen VR's Zenith: The Last City - is a constant juggling act, technically and logistically.

So, in a reversal of the usual formula, I'm turning the question around. I recall a terrible interface that failed to teach me what was possible and the few times I played, combat seemed to be more important (and more tedious) than any other option. ![]() Make finding the location of the Rebel base in the Star Wars: Rebellion board game easier for the Imperial player. Track the locations revealed by your Probe Droid cards, subjugation or loyalty markers, and mission cards. It isn't identical to the boardgame but it's close enough that I feel faintly embarrassed to have forgotten it during a discussion of that boardgame.Īs to why I forgot about it, I couldn't say for sure. Toggle each system between Probe Droid, Subjugation/Loyalty and Intel. Released in 1998, Rebellion is the closest thing to a grand strategy Star Wars game that exists and even though it sounds ideal on paper (and indeed on cardboard), I'd managed to entirely erase the PC version from my memory. And it has exactly the same name as the boardgame. Well, it turns out that game already existed. Who wouldn't want to see a big ol' Star Wars game about diplomacy, espionage and fleet combat rather than lightsabering people in the kidneys? Naturally, I expressed hope that there'd be a digital adaptation one day. Because it’s really all about those leaders, and the dynamic of how they’re used across the span of the game. Rebellion doesn’t so much use Star Wars as the setting for its gameplay as use "galactic conquest board game" as its setting. You instinctively build a picture of what you’ll be doing in the game – building troops, researching new tech, expanding across the galaxy. As you load up the game, you'll be greeted by an old school LucasArts logo as well as a classic Star Wars intro with an opening crawl, describing to you th-click Alright so you're at the menu now. You set it up on the table and it looks like one of your standard big 4X conquest and development games. Once we get to the main galactic map, we will begin a long winded discussion on each unit available in the game. See, here’s the thing I love best about this game – it’s not the game it looks like. It sounds like the Star Wars strategy game I've always wanted, with rule systems that encourage roleplaying, whether you're on the light side or the dark side. The catalyst for those messages was a comment I made when we published Rab's review of.Star Wars: Rebellion. This is a rare example of a 'Have You Played' entry about a game that I had completely forgotten about until RPS readers sent me messages saying, "haven't you played Star Wars: Rebellion?" Yes, is the answer, but I'd entirely forgotten it until you asked. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.

I felt terrible because I thought I must've done it very badly. "I had to give a speech about my ex-lover, but nobody told me who it was and the coffin where I was supposed to kiss my ex-lover was empty," Helen Slayton-Hughes, who played Ethel, said of the season 7 episode "Two Funerals," when the producers finally revealed Gunderson's face. None were more important than Bill Murray's Mayor Gunderson. You'd never know it, but Ethel Beavers, the Pawnee courthouse's deadpan stenographer, had a number of lovers throughout her life. "All the different other reporters and their camerapeople would come out, 'Are you shooting something for Parks and Rec? Is this a skit?'" Nope, it's just Jay. "I was the cameraman for the class, and I would go on those red carpets ," he says. Jackson switched from news reporting to acting after Parks and Rec took off, but he still occasionally helps aspiring TV anchors develop their demo reels. It was called Making It Happen With Perd because we had shot some prop stuff, pictures for cups and stock photos." Now, Perd is a Parks and Rec staple, with Pawnee TV shows like Ya Heard? With Perd!, The Final Word With Perd, and his movie review program Lights, Camera, Perd! ("It's a heartwarming story, but it's just not believable, which is why I give E.T. 1 1/2 stars.") Jackson remembers, "There was another show that they were going to develop and I don't think it happened. Eventually, all the other writers liked to write for Perd." "It was Alan who took it and ran with it as far as writing and pitching and producing and putting me in episodes. "He was the one who is really responsible for Perd Hapley because he wrote all of those crazy lines," Jackson, who worked as a reporter for a CBS station in Los Angeles before landing the role, tells EW. If you're a fan of Jay Jackson's take on Pawnee's newsman, who first appeared in season 2, you have writer-producer Alan Yang to thank. The subject of this story is a different person: Pawnee television anchor Perd Hapley. Joan was initially described in the casting call as "not a very good show host-small-town and just not very skilled," according to the MADtv alum. "I was thinking at the time, 'None of that will be usable.'" Turns out, all of it was. Director Dean Holland told Collins to keep shifting into a different passed-out position every time Ron took a call. "Until somebody says 'cut,' I keep going."Įxample: The season 5 scene from episode 13 ("Emergency Response") where Joan passed out on air in front of Ron, forcing him to answer viewer calls. "One thing that happens when you get Mo Collins on set, I tend to improv," Collins tells EW.
