>Mistake #1 - Steep Learning Curves: Tim thinks character creation in Fallout, Arcanum and other RPGs was too complex. He's experimenting with creating a completely numberless character system that uses geometric shapes to visualize attributes.
>Mistake #2 - Letting Math Trump Psychology: Revealing the influence of the years he spent developing Wildstar, Tim wants to develop mechanics that are psychologically satisfying and addictive, even at the expense of mathematical elegance. For example, he says the player's first attack against an enemy should always hit even if his overall hit percentage is the same regardless, and that rather than allow players to increase their critical hit chance, they should only be allowed to increase their critical hit damage.
What happened?

He's sort of right, to be honest. Every single CRPG I've played has been a numbers game to me. It's really hard to play a game in a way that doesn't optimize my character builds.

They aren't. Why is there a need to simplify them further?

Fuck you, you fucking ass gagging faggotron 3000.
I fucking love every little bit of that character creation (and reactions it prompts from npcs). Fuck you.

Because he wants to make an RPG that sells more than 1 million copies for once in his life. In his GDC talk he sounded very much like a dude who's sick of making sleeper hits(years and years later), flawed gems and cult classic niche games.

Literally nothing new.

Literally nothing new. Civ's been doing this openly for decades.

>Shapes
This is just making it harder for people to min max. It's gonna happen, the only difference is that if you don't give out th enumbers outright, there will have to be a shit ton of testing done beforehand. Just look at pokémon, the stats are never fully explained in game, using "shapes" in the newer gens to ilustrate EVs. Absolutely no one looks at those shapes.
