TRADESMAN: Deal to Dealer

Не особо чего то ждал от этой игры, но на удивление очень сильно удила. Интересно развиваться и изучать мир, выполнять квесты, в игру очень приятно играть. Все очень атмосферно и с душой сделано, очень редко такое начинаю чувствовать в инди играх. Отдельно хочу отметить юмор в игре, он хорош. Всю игру проходил на steamdeck, для разработчиков хочу попросить сделать более удобное управление для него. И что то подумать над конвертацией золотых очков (прокачки талантов) в серебрянные (очки опыта отряда), т.к. выкачал все на данный момент, попытался штурмовать воспоминания пробуя разные билды персонажей, но задушился качать каждого через свитки и гринд валюты. (имел перекач 80 уровня торговли и 25 лишних золотых очков)

[h2]其他游戏什么情况下面对强大的敌人？[/h2] 找寻失落的遗迹，发掘被掩盖的真相，声名鹊起吸引来江洋大盗或是阴险的贵族。 [h2]这个游戏呢？[/h2] 我的朋友，你只需要往马车里放一车吃喝，再来几件刀剑，就能吸引到足够把 DND 7 级冒险者都能轻松干趴下的敌人。他们不为别的，只是图你包里的三瓜两枣。 如果马车里能塞真正的金银珠宝，估计天上的炽天使和地狱的大恶魔都得到路上拦截你的马车，因为他们八辈子都没见过钱。 [hr][/hr] 这个游戏的其他设定还过得去，唯独[b]商品决定威胁[/b]这点实在是败笔中的败笔。我不是指商品价值影响敌人强度系数，这一点算是合理设计，我是说——[b]商品只要放在包里就能给敌人提供增益[/b]，这是何意味？ 我想绝大多数人都喜欢跑商的商品给自己提供增益，而它们的总价值与商队声望影响敌人强度，以自身 BD 增强自身来对抗愈发强大的敌人（同样的价值决定敌人强度，包里的东西决定玩家是否强大）。玩家需要在利益与战力方面权衡，偶尔需要运输一些不好卖、但是对战斗有用的道具，而这些道具本身又会占一定的价值，增加游戏深度。 而这吊游戏反其道而行之：[b]商品种类给敌人加强度，你是给对面做 BD 而不是给自己做[/b]（包里的东西决定敌人是否有额外词条加成），始终得以[i]减法[/i]玩游戏，设计出这个的策划还是自己滚蛋吧。 你说的对，但我电脑里有一款每 5 张狼皮可以为敌方野兽增加 7 点攻击力的游戏。等我往包里塞 100 张狼皮，全世界的路边野狗瞬间飞升至传说狼王，一口能给精金板甲咬成废铁。 设计这方面的策划不会真觉得自己老聪明了吧？货物同时影响[b]难度系数[/b]和[b]敌人词条加成[/b]，两条曲线让难度涨得飞快。而玩家要么憋屈少运东西，要么靠那点写死的佣兵系统打得鼻青脸肿——这也是一个例子，为了应付这个搞笑的系统，不同佣兵之间的数值差距大得离谱，我还以为在玩 DND 呢。 明明反过来设计可以让玩家构思一系列 BD 增加游玩深度，同时增加来自佣兵以及维护的经济压力防止后期过于简单，而系统的策划选择了最神的设计思路。 这个系统不改，这游戏我看也就这样了。设计游戏系统的时候，麻烦确认来上班的是一个智人。 [hr][/hr] [h2]When do you face formidable enemies in other games?[/h2] When uncovering lost ruins, unearthing buried truths, or rising to such renown that you attract notorious cutthroats or scheming nobles. [h2]And in this game?[/h2] My friend, all you need to do is throw a cartload of food and booze alongside a few swords into your wagon, and you'll attract enemies powerful enough to easily wipe the floor with a level 7 D&D party. And they aren't even out for glory; they're literally just after the pocket change and scraps in your backpack. If you could actually stuff real gold and jewels into that wagon, I bet seraphs from heaven and archdemons from hell would descend to highway-rob your cart, as if they haven't seen a single coin in eight lifetimes. [hr][/hr] The game's other mechanics are passable, but having [b]cargo dictate threat levels[/b] is an absolute disaster of a design choice. I don't mean cargo value scaling the enemy difficulty coefficient—that's reasonable game design. What I mean is that [b]simply having goods sitting in your inventory directly provides buffs to enemies[/b]—what on earth is the logic here? Most people would expect trade cargo to grant buffs to themselves, while total cargo value and caravan fame scale enemy strength, allowing players to build up their own setup to take on increasingly dangerous threats (cargo value dictates enemy scaling, while inventory contents determine player strength). Players would have to weigh profit margins against combat utility, occasionally hauling deadweight goods that don't sell well but offer combat bonuses—items that take up cargo space and carry value, thereby adding gameplay depth. Instead, this godforsaken game does the exact opposite: [b]cargo types buff the enemy; you're crafting builds for the opposing side rather than yourself[/b] (what's in your bag dictates what bonus affixes the enemies get). You're constantly forced to play the game by [i]subtraction[/i]. Whoever designed this mechanic should pack their bags and see themselves out. You have a point, but on my PC there's a game where every 5 wolf pelts grants enemy beasts +7 attack power. By the time I stuff 100 wolf pelts into my pack, every stray mutt on the roadside instantly ascends into a legendary wolf king, biting through adamantine plate armor like wet cardboard. Did the system designer genuinely think they were a genius for this? Having cargo inflate both the [b]difficulty multiplier[/b] and [b]enemy affix bonuses[/b] means difficulty skyrockets along two compounding curves. Meanwhile, the player is forced to either haul pitifully little cargo or get beaten black and blue trying to rely on a rigid, hardcoded mercenary system. And speaking of which, to compensate for this laughable setup, the stat discrepancies between different mercenaries are absurdly overtuned—I honestly thought I was playing D&D. Doing the exact opposite would have allowed players to theorycraft diverse builds and add gameplay depth, while introducing economic pressure via mercenary wages and caravan upkeep to keep the late game challenging. Instead, the system designer chose the most galaxy-brained design imaginable. If this system doesn't get overhauled, this game is dead in the water. Next time you're designing game mechanics, please make sure the person showing up to work is actually a Human.
