pass the Horadric Cube

[incandescens]

PDR went fairly well. I'd already put down as "issues" the two major things that my line manager raised, so I scored on the "recognises own errors" scale, and it was agreed that I'd done acceptably otherwise, with a couple of "well done" moments. Though I do now have a new list of stuff to do. Ah well.

Finished my third playthrough of Devil Survivor 2 this evening. Yes, I know, this is getting obsessive, but at least I now have almost all the demons fused and skills obtained, and I've seen three of the six possible endings. (The Restorer, Full Restorer, and the one where you make Al Saiduq the new god, for the record. Which in In Nomine terms is something like killing God in order to put Eli in his place.) The question is, will I play it through a fourth time in order to completely fill out my lists and to see one of the remaining endings?

Well, I would say "probably", but Diablo 3 is out tomorrow . . .

(I foresee a quick run to the shops during tomorrow lunch break.)

O_o

There's a brain-breaky sort of concept...

(Grats on PDR going well?)

He promises to be a compassionate god and allow us our freedom...

(Thanks!)

If you can't trust a computer character who you've maxed out your Fate Link with, who can you trust?

(I really should have commented on your post a few days ago about relationships, and the whole "build a relationship with character X" as an important game mechanic in some computer games, shouldn't I?)

**giggle**

(Huh! Good point! And once it's built... how often does it have to be maintained? That would be an interesting study, methinks.)

[incandescens]

In the games where I've seen it so far, it's generally a "build link as high as you can during the course of the game in order to reach certain goals/story events", and there hasn't been a need to maintain it, but then they have been games with a limited time span which are set over a specific period. You're often having to juggle several relationship-increases within a closed period of time to do it, and trying to get them all to a high enough level. :)
