    This is why I like roguelike mechanics. Permadeath encourages me not to hoard and the hunger clock encourages me not to grind.

    So what you’re saying is I’ll never actually need it and it’s just for players trying to make the game easier

    And that if I use it I’ll be without it in the presumably increasing difficulty to come

    I’m really bad with this in games. I even hoarded iron back when I still played Minecraft simply because it was a resource I couldn’t infinitely produce.

    Cobblestone generator = use only cobblestone tools

            I’m a proud 10€ alpha version buyer. There was no hunger bar back then and mushroom stew was the shit.

            It’s a shame Notch completely detached from his creation, tho.

                Didn’t he drop a hard R while saying that only white people should vote? I am as anti-cancel cultures the next rational person, but you deserve to be detached from more than just a video game if you pull that in a public forum.

    So I decided while playing Fallout 4 (around the time it came out) that I was going to try to break this habit, because it meant I never got to use any of the cool shit.

    I made this decision while retaking the castle, fighting the queen crab thing. I used all the mini nukes I had on it.

    Those who have played the game knows what happens next… after killing the queen, the king emerges. Way bigger, way harder to kill.

    I’ve been a hardcore no exceptions hoarder ever since

      Maybe I’m having a mandela effect moment but I don’t remember a “way bigger, way harder to kill” mirelurk king after the queen. The mirelurk king in-game is the size of a deathclaw tops and I think it’s stats are definitely weaker when compared to the queens. Is there a special one that spawns after the queen that I am forgetting?

    Reminds me of when I finished the first Max Payne.

    I was all kitted out. Rocket launchers, full deagles, you name it. I used my little starter pistol all throughout this fight on the tower that I thought was leading up to the very end… only to have credits roll while I sat there with a full fat armory of glorious destruction - forever unused.

    My characters in BG3 can barely walk they’re carrying so many potions and scrolls, The weak stuff isn’t worth wasting a turn using and the strong stuff might be useful later…

    I remember the same from when I was a kid, though BG was the only time it paid off because you can start BG2 with your party you finished BG1 with so I had loads of stuff I could carry through the whole geme without using.
