Forced Reload Options

[Konji]

So what is the situation on forced reloads? We seem to have quotes from the great Rane and the great Stargazey.as wel as many other kind of great people. A thread would be good to clear this up.

We'll see who likes and dislikes the Forced Reloads when you decide to begin the main quest as at level eighty. ^_~

Like I said, if not being able to kill 40/1000 NPCs aggrivates you to this extent, why bother playing the game to begin with? You'll be better off with a nice copy of Halo 2. And anyway, killing sprees are a waste of time. Ever notice that when you're done with them, the world around you seems a bit lonely?

If I hadn't made it abundantly clear, I'm very glad that they've implimented forced reloads. A person who says those who ignore the warning deserve what they get are hypocrites. A person who's upset about not being able to kill 20 or so NPCs has the maturity of a ten year old. Thank you, goodnight.

Aren't you the dude that almost went crazy over the fall of the empire thing?

Anyways, if you haven't SAVED before you made it to level 80 then you are a fool to begin with... Think about that. You will have a save game prob not more then an hour before that.. So yes if you do kill someone you weren't supposed to and say you do accidently click play on IT WOULD STILL HAVE THE SAME AFFECT...

(A..

You kill some important dude in the MQ and then the message pops up telling you, you have to reload. So you do and go back to your last reload.

(B..

You kill some important dude in the MQ and then the message pops up telling you, you have to reload. You click continue and keep on killing, when you reload you go back to your last save game.

Same exact thing

It doesn't matter either way, but in the last choice at least you get more freedom to do what you want to do...

Do you want Beth to make the game Idiot proof?

Your idea of 'crazy' and mine are completely differnent. I come from forums where every other word is four letters long and starts with "f". If not for the fact that Rane had sent me a warning, I'd probably be banned now. But if you're holding that incident against me, then I'm wasting my time here.

If a person saved their character at level fourty, why would they keep that game file at level sixty? It's redundant and unnessasary; no one wants to play as a weak character if a higher character is optional. So no, it wouldn't "STILL HAVE THE SAME AFFECT".

-and it saves you the trouble of having to make a new character later, at no cost other than not being able to kill 30 or so NPCs. Bravo, Bethesda, bravo!

This idea is impossible. I'll explain why in a second.

Yes, actually, I do. At least, I do if the only trade off is having to reload upon the death of a few NPCs. And, idiot proof is a harsh term. Everyone makes mistakes, myself included, and mistakes are how we learn. Once we've learned, it's not worth having to make an entirely new character to complete the quest. Having to create a new character isn't freedom, which you seem to be obsessed with.

Something you seem to be forgetting though is the fact that the forced reloading isn't there for us; without it, the Radiant AI system would crash. I'm just being optimistic; and I find forced reloading convenient.

On a final note; Mer Girl, about 95% of the freedom offered by TES, you'll never use. I feel that most people simply like it because it's there, despite the fact that it's unused. There's no point in getting your panties in a wad over fourty NPCs.

EDIT: And, you're [/flame]ing me because of my views and optimism? See, this is what I meant by "maturity of a ten year old".
