But games nowdays are made for even the most braindead buttonsmasher to succeed, thats why we end up with so many reptitive and boring games and mechanics. Play some proper games like the old FO 2 or Wasteland 2.

Knowing how the game works just made it carebarelevel too. Thts the issue with FO, I am the walking god becuse reasons and fix the whole world in a month which hundreds haven't maanged ind ecades.ДЄnd no it makes a game not necesarily into dark souls 3 sry, not sure (again as the discussion about S how you play your games but Sb was carebare level of difficulty and even morrorwind was rather easy without focussing on any special stat training or whatever. thats fine and for many great RPG's did worked well (like any DND ruled ones). The point of a limited amount of level ups is to prvent the creation of an uber character. Maybe I'm not there for the challenge, but rather to have a nice adventurous time? I don't like feeling like I'm near-death constantly.

If I wanted Dark Souls, I would play Dark Souls. Some people to just play a game and enjoy it without being challenged to 'TEH MAX' full-time. Not everything has to be Dark Souls, you know. It isn't that you get stronger muscles, it's that you get more effective with how you use the weapons. It all comes down to your skill in said weapons that makes you stronger. Have you ever wandered around Skyrim enough and noted how every Nord is ripped? Everybody in that game is ripped. So every Dragonborn is decently muscled and reasonably smart. Nobody is saying you gain muscle mass, the game merely assumes that the Dragonborn Hero has average-to-high attributes in all stats. There are no strength scores, so it's all about your skill in weapons. That would be fine, if it weren't for, you know, the limited number of levelups and the fact it takes so long to get a levelup, and the fact that your stats only increase with levelups? Lastly, get rid of the Levelup system altogether. Tie HP, Magicka, and Stamina to stats: Magicka is Intellect-based, so that each point of Intellect, you gain, say, +10 Magicka and HP would be tied Vitality or whatever that stat was called, and Stamina would be tied to Strength in the same way.ДҐ). Again, no 'jumping over mountains' or 'running faster than the speed of sound' or what-not.Д¤). Allow temporary buffs to give up to +50 for a maximum of 150 in any stat or skill. Place hard-caps on all attributes at 100 for balance purposes (no more 1,000 acrobatics allowing you to jump over mountains).ДЈ). If you skill 2H Blunt up to 27 and then gain the 28th level, you will get 28 Strength.Дў). If you have 27 Strength and 18 Block and you gain a Block skill, your strength will not increase. For example, if you have 26 Strength and your 1H Axes is 26, and you gain a 1H Skill, you now have 27 1H Axe and 27 Strength. A skill gives you a +1 to a stat, assuming the skill is higher than the stat. RPG does not have to equal Survival.Д®DIT: Another way you could do the Morrowind System and do it better:ДЎ). All of that physical workout, and no Strength gains to show for it.Д¬lick to expand.Not everything has to be Dark Souls, you know.

Guess what? You won't be any stronger at the end of it than when you started. Then you decide to grab a heavy hammer and swing it around and level your Two-Handed Skill from 10 to 100. Let's say you max your levels out and you end up as an agile thief with some decent intelligence. you did all that magical study and didn't get the least bit smarter? That's why the system fails. you gained zero intelligence points for doing a lot of magical study. If you ran out of levelups, and you raised, say, Illusion magic from 10 to 100. But this whole 'Choose 3 stats to increase at levelup' was a bad system because it was very difficult to control levels the way you wanted. You could practice the things you want to practice to raise Strength. If, say, you got a +1 strength every time you increased a Strength-based skill, that would have been fine.
