Right. Well, there's a certain amount of unpredictibility that I like
to keep players on their toes, but on a broad scope the above is
very applicable. For instance, Arctic is well known for being a wickedly
designed mud, which is what IMO makes it as good as it is. For instance,
the lock on the front gate to Silvanesti has a trap that paralyzes anyone
that touches it and then teleports them someplace randomly in the area.
The first time we did it my buddy (who boldly tried to pick the lock)
got teleported in front of Cyan Bloodbane, a particularly nasty dragon
who is regarded as possibly the most dangerous creature on the mud. It's
wicked because it's unexpected and harsh. It's not specifically mean,
however, because everyone there knew that Silvanesti was the most dangerous
area on the mud, and everyone there was prepared to face incredible and
unpredictable danger. This example is particularly harsh, but still
within reason.

I can't think of any situation where this is really fun. Unless you mean
some sort of in-game controls (trying to figure out how to fly a complex
alien spacecraft in a pinch), the actual interface to the game being
difficult is hardly entertaining.

Heh. Well, I think most folks take the RPG intelligence stat far
too literally. In a true RP game, it's a guideline for how you play your
character, yes. In a game where your stats affect how your character
functions, I see it as a more basic kind of intelligence - your character's
abillity to learn new information and skills quickly, their ability to
focus mental energies of various types, and so forth. I don't see it as
their ability to solve crime or speak with all their thees and thous in
the right place.

I think the only valid complaints here are just things which are
inconsistant within your world. Ie, the famous old stepping off of a cliff
with a fly spell on but somehow still plummeting to your death.

Nod, I suppose it's very dependant on the game. When you're playing
Star Fox and your character yells out, 'Take that you big meanie!' it's
flavor and I doubt anyone says, 'Hey no fair! I didn't tell him to say
that!' But if my character did that on a mud I'd be pretty annoyed.

Yup. This is the difference, once again, between a game world like a mud
and an adventure game. The game world is more like real life in that
picking up a piece of food you find on the ground and eating it is a bad
idea. In an adventure game this is rarely a problem.

Smirk. This brings up a completely unrelated beef of mine with current
muds (at least, ones with semi-sophisticated mechanics). Generally the
system doesn't let you do anything it considers silly, ie the designer
said, "Why would you ever want to do that?" On of the things I've always
wanted to be able to do is engage in combat with inanimate objects, for a lot
of reasons, the above being one of them.

Yup. Tony said they worked very hard to try to avoid this in the sequel.
Most of the puzzles revolved around these five types of animals, which were
featured around the game world in various forms, and most of the puzzles
related to this sort of imagery. Of course, I found it all so esoteric
and disconnected from anything even slightly relevant that it might have
well been a cash-register.

Well, some good filler is always nice. Wing Commander was largely
successful because they tied together the combat sequences with
simple cut-scenes and character interaction. Of course, the key is that
you could skip over all of them if you weren't interested and wanted to
get straight to fighting, and you could always click through them quickly
if you were a fast reader, or didn't feel like watching a particular
animation again.

Heh. Never thought of it quite that way, but now that I think of it,

Nod. This same sort of thing can apply to just about any character type -
picking pockets when you are an honest citizen all day long, being a pious
priest when you're actually an athiest, being an evil power-hungry mage
when you spend the day enforcing justice.
Not only can you see it as a little 'vaction from yourself', but it's
also a chance to see the world through a different perspective, something
which I think most everyone can benefit from.

Oh yes, of course. I can't even imagine how one could actually

Hum. I see this as automated travel, not a cut scene.
The closest think I can think of is the text you're sent when you
activate something. Ie, you push a button and a door swings open, then
an image of the necromancer's disembodied head floats above the floor saying
'You'll never breach my castle, adventurer!' Pretty basic - it's a cut
scene because you can't try to cast a dispel on the illusion, or run
out of the room before it happens (I'm assuming it's all instantaneous),
or whatever. It's just text which the game spits out at you, and the
object in question (the necromancer's head) isn't any real object. At
best the code will check first to make sure the necromancer is actually
alive. Pretty basic, and can sometimes add. I try to avoid this sort
of thing myself.
