I have to comment on the second part, since I did not play around Cabdru's time, do not care who that char was or if Daev played him. Daev can play whoever and however he wants, if he wants to, same as all of us. Yes he's an Imm, why should that matter. I imagine for him it is probably harder to get immersed in CF at times because he probably does know more about how things work than the rest of us, which gets into my second point.

Daev posts lots of information to people's questions about mechanics and such of the game, and it is helpful, but I think he usually does it in the best way. Vaguely, without definitive numeric answers or telling us the code.

I do not want to CF to be like an RPG where I can break the numbers code in the game. RNG does a lot, true, but I don't want to know the exact % of anything firing, the exact way edges impact it or legacies or anything else. The second I know all that, CF loses a bit of that mysticism that you really play for in an RPG style game.

Who the hell cares how it works exactly? Do you really want the actual code so you can figure out the optimum build and be a PK beast because you figured that out? I think the game would lose lots it's appeal if you had it. For example, I don't know how often Zulgh morts, but think about what he knows about the game mechanics and what he could do with that knowledge. Yet, he probably does not because Zulg the char allows him RP when he wants to, and well, he's an Imm, so he's not concerned with the PK/fighting side of things. As a mortal char it's less immersive simply because he does know how most things work.
(I have no idea about anything relating to Zulg and if he plays/how he plays of course, and I'm sorry if I said something incorrect, I just wanted a reference and I have always considered him the man in CF.)


I swear I think some people actually believe you can win CF. You can't. You can only enjoy playing the game if your enjoyment comes from playing, not from the hopes of winning.
