Shared on Thu, 09/20/2007 - 01:18I love RPG's. I must buy them. I must play them.
I never get to finish them.
Why?
Final Fantasy VII: I got to the bottom of a cryo chamber, and on the trip out I encounter a dragon. My guys are so beat up they can't get past them. Only one save so I can't just go back a bit. File is long gone by now anyway :(
Final Fantasy XII: I love it. I talked to some crazy tribe and they give me a bird. I have to go to a town on the other side of this cave with tons of wolves in it. My dudes are too weak. I can't get thru. do I have to level? I don't want to level!!! I want to play the game.
Fallout: My character gets addicted to drugs, can't even hold a pistol. I can't make myself start over
Fallout 2: I never could get out of that opening cave
Wasteland: My drive gives out..never get to finish it.
Bards Tale: My copy dies. I can't fight the last dude
Other Bards Tale Sequels: way to big.
Ultima IV: I have the bell, book, candle. Now what? I was lost forever
Roadwars: I found out there was a bug in the game and you can never win.
these are just a few of the failed rpg's I have played.
I don't really know what to do. I do know that I am mostly dead in these games due to terrible design. If I follow the story in a FF game, why should I ever have to worry? I should be leveling up enough as I play. From looking at forums, it looks as tho it is expected that I just grind without advancing the story. I don't know if I can do that. I love FFXII so far, but just grinding for grinding sake....
sigh..I might as well go back to wow....
Anyone have any ideas for me for RPG's? i love the story, I love the exploration, I love the advancing character.
I hate getting stuck someone where with no hope of solving the problem.
I never get to finish them.
