RPGVault have posted another RPG Roundtable and this time around good old Brian Fargo posted a snibblet:<blockquote>Be nice to the player.
Ever get the feeling that certain game developers hate their audience or are in some kind of competition with the players? It's an easy trap for a developer to fall into, but you aren't trying to "beat" the player, you are trying to entertain them, and while a certain challenge level is to be expected, it's not good to ratchet up this challenge level by making the player complete tedious tasks.</blockquote>I guess Chuckie didn't learn this, too bad...
