Discouraged and very frustrated! I recently finished Myst IV--Revelation,
a Neverwinter Nights module called Twilight, and its follow-on, Midnight,
part way. I'm really really tired of timed-action-sequences that offer no
means of escaping from either by a cheat code or easy game mode.
One solution is to spend a lot more time researching and reading reviews of
a game to avoid ones, regardless of otherwise how good them might be, that
have t-a-s in them.
Another solution is return to my adventure roots and see what is going on
with interactive-fiction once again--that's why I'm here.
I can't hold my breath on this because I well done graphics, music and
sound ambiance, action and RPG in my adventures...I just hate t-a-s.
Where do you go for an I-F game rating list to make it relatively easy to
zero in on the "best" I-F?
In the past I have tried replaying a couple of the old classics--I actually
played all of them back then when they came out--but it never works so they
will have to remain as most excellent memories. I can't replay the past
anymore then I can relive the past. So, if you are going to try to suggest
a text adventure you might want to focus on something grand that was done
recently.
I don't know for sure what kind of answers I'm looking for except that I'm
fed up with t-a-s and I'm going to skip them if I can.
Thanks for listening.
