More feedback- Deliah

[ictoos]

OK, always like a new companion, especially with new perks. BUT

If she hits Adam with a dart that causes paralysis, ALL muscles are paralyzed, it doesn't leave the ones needed to forward the plot. Also, it the breathing muscles will be paralyzed. Succinylcholine and Rocuronium, for example, are paralytics. Without resp support- bye bye.

Better progression, shoot with a tranq, they awake secured to medbay chairs.

Otherwise, the game is stable, still don't like the "Rigged Asteroids"

Still unbalanced, but nice progressions on the ship upgrades. Shields remain pretty weak even at level 10.

Mining needs to be better.

I'd love it if you could take over one of the mining ops and start auto hauling ore to the G&B operation for a steady stream of income with upgradable defenses for the op like partol pilots and auto turrets.

Well the year is 3000+ so one could assume that this “tranquilliser” is a special futuristic one that selectively paralyses the limbs. I mean heck if hypertravel exists, then I don’t see something like this being an issue.

There’s plans to introduce a sort of mining mini-game that will allow for more/better yields in addition to the current shoot and loot.

[STAB YOUR IT]

well if you bring up a spot when adam comes to the hanger he comes alone duh!

1: The cutscenes are unfinished/unpolished so I have a feeling they will get looked at. (If you think that's funny....look into the cold star and then see what they REALLY look like - the devs thought that was amusing)

2: Rigged Asteroids - I can see them tweaking timers a bit....but funny enough they started getting easier as I progressed.

3: Mining - yeah...I can say this needs improvement.

There's a lot of issues with delia, it really looks like someone just rushed to make a strong female character at the expense of everything else without thinking anything through. Her personality is also definitely following the stereotypical 'strong independent woman need no man' trope. Her introduction killed all my enthusiasm for the story pretty hard.

Remember - not a finished product - not final either I suspect.

Don’t think that applies to Delia though. Her character seems to be locked in. I wouldn’t imagine RFG redrawing her scenes, re-recording her lines all due to a very small number of complaints that are very subjective anyways.

Eh one can hope.

Small minority? Don't confuse the modern internet echo chamber, cultivated through censorship and fear, with actual agreement.

lmfao here we go again

You seem to be the confused one. Stop trying to turn everything into some political garbo. There’s no censorship or fear here. The amount of complaints in regards to Delia so far have been minimal, we haven’t seen enough of her nor know enough about her. And this original post you commented on wasn’t even about Delia’s character but rather the tranquilliser and whether it makes sense to have it work against specific limbs.

You’ve already made multiple posts about Delia and have spoken to Erik in regards to this which I’m sure he has explained perfectly well.

We really appreciate so many reminders to newcomers/veterans alike that our game is work-in-progress, but you needn't use that as an excuse for us and the state of the game. If you feel something stinks or doesn't make sense, say it! It's ok, you won't hurt our feelings.

Delia, being one of the few healthcare workers willing to risk their work (let alone life) in a demitilarized zone is going to have to show some wit and confidence, else she wouldn't last long. Sex has nothing to do with it. In fact, Delia isn't as strong as the others she encounters either, so she is forced to rely on the tools of her facility as opposed to brute force. That's all that has been revealed about her, it's not deeper than that. We aren't politically driven, we just want to make believable characters. Being that smart women exist, we felt Delia's addition to be ok. But again, feel free to disagree, this is fine.

Just as Hazzy mentions supralight, and just as we have mentioned in live streams, we're taking a leap outside realism and intentionally have crazy sci-fi tech to provide interesting in-game mechanics (like full-range of motion in a 6 DoF space environment, or crazy weapon modifiers, etc) and the occassional plot progressor. But even still, the cutscene doesn't translate the passage of time very well, perhaps we could make this a little more "realistic" to ease the subersion of expectations, though this isn't a priority of game development right now.

I am a new player and saw this scene yesterday.
I would like to add that the whole setup is heavily flawed.

No one would revive / unthaw a person unrestrained.

Hell, even when I woke up in a hospital after an incident I was restrained and could not move my arms.

The Doctor was not only able to scape her wake up pod when was also in possession of a loaded tranquilizer gun?

I was take very much out of my “willing suspension of disbelieve”, if you will, at that point for a man of his calibre he would never allow an unknown threat to awaken unrestrained.

It was so far off any current day safety procedures that she was able to get out of and sedate 2 soldiers that I just could not help laugh.

Maybe rewriting this to a more reasonable outcome would be preferred. Both (conscious) men seem very reasonable and open minded, there is no need for the doctor to take control of the situation to clear it up in a manner that is satisfying for all parties.

My 2 cents.

Kindly,
Thanour

It seemed fine to me.

It's funny isn't it that the person talking about cancel culture is being supported in their right to have an opinion, and nobody is trying to silence or cancel them - but they want to cancel a character design that they don't like. Shocked, truly I am shocked.

I don't pay attention much to story on Early Access especially when paste right across top of screen is "Work in Progress". It's story board pages. I could only imagine how unrealistic some of the story board pages on a game like Mass Effect were in the early stages.

This is normal - and its getting down right stupidly annoying.

I've been saying this again...and again....and again.

But people are people and rage stupidly about the darndest things - all of it in the name of "Feedback"

Yes - its feedback - but the tone - and how its approached - hard pass.

Do a lot of them have a point? Yeah - but only to a point.
Is it game breaking? No
Is it worth acting like a child? LOL no (not that all of them are)

For the record - Yes it can use some work.
But its early access - work in progress - splattered on the screen - people need to chill out...relax. They'll clean it up......hopefully.

Who are we to judge an unfinished product in a WORK OF FICTION (earth to judgmental people out there - look up the word fiction some time)

Ok fine - Cold Star is the wrong color on the spectrum - it's not the end of the damn world - I can live with this. Some can't - but ok.

Back to the subject matter tho

I was more erked over the voice over and quality of the cut-scene - but seeing - once again

"WORK IN PROGRESS"

Didn't drag me here to scream about it.

Bigger things to worry about over cut-scenes right now. Things that take a lot more time and testing in-fact. (like balancing/in-game mechs)

Imagine confusing the protestant reformation with the spanish inquisition because they both talk about religion.

I'm not going to drudge up the past, things have been sorted out and talked through, but your statement is unfortunately incorrect.

No..it's not...and your off topic.....knock it off. This doesn't belong here and you know it.
