Ammo in RPG games

HolyWarrior · 04-26-2003, 01:32 AM

This poll asks which style of RPG you prefer: Those with unlimited ammo, or those where you have to buy or find ammo to use missile weapons.

Unlimited ammo is kinda like cheating imo, i don't like doing that.

Stratos · 04-26-2003, 08:57 AM

Limited ammo, it´s more realistic that way.
But it also depends on the strenght of the weapon. If I have to make a porcupine out of a goblin before it dies I want unlimited ammo.

Limited. However some magic items could be permitted to provide unlimited ammo (like in ToB)

Unlimited Ammo gets boring after a while. I like to find new types of ammo that could be useful for different purposes.

Ammo in RPG's? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

I have never encountered ammo in RPG's. FPS's, sure, but RPG's? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

Never heard of it

Bows need ammo. So do slings. Crossbows, of course, need ammo. There're three examples [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Unlimeted for me: Most of my partys have at least one person who uses bows etc because they can't fight very well, and i don't want to be stuck miles away from anywhere with no ammo, and I don't want to be disturbed in the middle of a quest to have to spend time trotting off to some village to buy stuff, as it puts me off the quest.

True, but by the time you find those, ToB is pretty much one big unrealistic cheating demi-God playground anyways, even by D&D standards.

Voted for limited, naturally. [img]smile.gif[/img]
