I clearly stumbled over some guys who has just been to a briefing, because I got 2 copies of this from thier corpses. When I tried to load the second into my PDA, It said:
File already exists. Maybe we'll learn something.
Did you mean 'Maybe we'll learn something it we take it to a Pawn Shop?' As it stands it is confusing.

It should not allow.
Previously it would sometimes grant XP but lots of people wrote me nasty emails about it as a game ruining exploit.

Finding info that has a chance to grant XP sounds awesome!,but only if it happens once per seperate piece of info...repeat info should grant nothing once you get an award. To bad it was taken out.  |

I liked the idea, too. If you could do it an infinite number of times per info, then that would be game ruining, but I cannot see how having it work once per info would ruin anything. And it would give people like me more of an incentive to loot the corpses, thus bringing on the heat...

"Only Happens Once" --> That would require a huge table to states to keep track of and the end value to the design was, relative to other planned features, evaluated as negligible.
That is the truth of any of these "only happens once" things -- be it contacts, items, dialog or choice. At this point happens once / default choice / intelligence next all would require us to lock down the design features of the core element in such a way it would limit future expansion of the STE engine. Therefore, those features are on hold during core development works.

What about if the datafile self-destructed when it gave you the experience, so you could only use it once?

That is what it does today, right? It vanishes?

maybe if you already had the real file it would be +1 MP of paydata instead?

That is what it does today, right? It vanishes? My second copy stuck around. I finally sold it for 0Y at a Pawn shop. Turning it into data that your contacts would buy if you have the file in your PDA already sounds like a good idea to me. |
