Why did we stray from this?
>>3997401Because it got boring and repetitive.
I tried reverse image search. But all I found was an old tumblr blog full of yaoi. Care to explain OP?
>>3997401All games are like that, it's just some have a flat dungeon where the rooms are next to each other rather than below.
>>3997413Diablo 1 was structured like OP.The Kingmaker DLC is pretty much also like that.
>>3997401BG2 figured out a much better system.
>>3997478and then it was raped to death by every game since
>>3997410fpbp.>>3997401why do you love it so much, OP?
>>3997479I don't think any game has surpassed BG2 since then.
>>3997478The entirety of Chapter 2 is "accumulate 15000 gold", funnily if you somehow get 20000 gold (his initial offer) without leaving the Promenade you can skip Ch2 as soon as Gaelan Bayle takes you to his home.
>>3997487I think that was probably their way of impromenting the "game journalist" difficulty mode.
>>3997484Should have used clearly language: I mean the setup has been misused disrespectfully and applied as a default when it was in fact a specific non-general solutionlike a shoe worn down
>>3997401Shit like this is my jam.
>>3997488You. Fuck off.Getting the 20,000 gold that early involves either exploiting the shit out of game mechanics with savescumming, straight-up cheating, or grinding the shit out of the Amn patrol for their armor and weapons to sell. You'd have to plunder entire districts and do at least one major quest to get that much money, and that's assuming you don't buy any equipment in a game where magic items are mandatory. You would also go into Ch3 underleveled, undergeared, and even if you manage to scratch and crawl your way through it the later part that is infested with vampires will put its entire foot up your ass so hard you'll choke on your own shit.
>>3997523Why are you so tough on me bro, it's been at least 10 tears ago since I played.
>>3997534Because of your "journalist difficulty" shit-stirring.
>>3997541I was beign nice though. The normal default is to call them urinalists.
>>3997401Storyfags
Literally Fate.
>>3997507>enter small hole>hole leads you through mind-bending caverns and colossal flora that ultimately ends up at an ancient forgotten city
>>3998882I remember this in thief. Think it was a sewer grate there but I might be remembering incorrectly.
>>3998885>go down sewer grate>you just find bloody mattresses and abandoned high chairs
>>3998882
