Bender Bending Rodriguez Shock Trooper Member # 3368	written Tuesday, September 21 2004 17:58 Profile #25 RoR was fine.

Imban Shake Before Using Member # 75	written Tuesday, September 21 2004 18:00 Profile #26 RoR is one of the few TM scenarios I bear an active distaste for. He very much cured that bad feeling with Emerald Mountain. Posts: 3234 \| Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00
Eric-Ihrno Apprentice Member # 4531	written Tuesday, September 21 2004 19:44 Profile #27 The message I got out of RoR was more or less that the only way to argue productively with a postmodernist is by bashing him into submission with a big sword. That and the fact that BoA is an inherently objectivist medium, because your goals and actions are set up beforehand by creator of the scenario who, even if he's a postmodernist, tends to keep the party on a very tight leash, in this case denying the player even the illusion of freedom and meaningful choice.

Nikki. Shaper Member # 3442	written Tuesday, September 21 2004 23:55 Profile Homepage #29 RoR was ok.... nothing more. And philosophy can be contained in a BoA scenario, and to prove it, I'm attempting it myself. My scenario is majorily religious and philosophical. You can judge it when it's released. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know?

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Wednesday, September 22 2004 07:17 Profile Homepage #30 The point of RoR is to beat the player upside the head out of anger. Basically, RoR is to the comments on NTH what EM is to the inflated scores of the other BoA scenarios-- my entire BoA oeuvre thusfar is all out of spite. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
I'll Steal Your Toast Agent Member # 2210	written Wednesday, September 22 2004 08:06 Profile #31 ROR is not mean enough and spiteful enough to show true nihilism or spite. It needs to be truly wicked with tougher fights with the worst sorts of monsters basilisks, demons, corrosive slimes, nearly unbeatable puzzles, riddles which confuse the player and other things which make no sense. I would imagine a nihilistic scenario would have numerous unexplainable encounters, puzzles, and stuff throughout to perplex the player. Also some illogical angry diatribes would help. Paranoid statements which a conspiracy theorist might make. The empire is trying to steal our brains so they use them to make super golems. Stuff like that. Go all out for the next one. -------------------- Wasting your time and mine looking for a good laugh. Star Bright, Star Light, Oh I Wish I May, I Wish Might, Wish For One Star Tonight.
