Damn that's a lot of MDR.

[Loud Whispers]

.... Okay I can't match this London-speak.
Time to deploy.... Belfast-speak.

Aye pipe down mate or we'll do yer knees in. Yer in Belly-fast now, and here's the craic - ye came up the Lagan in a bubble, and we're gonna ship ye back to yer avon-selling da in a shoebox.

.....

Okay so I'm not as good at Belfast slang as I thought 

It takes a lot of effort to look effortless

Wyll is BG3's Anomen

[scriver]

Not an un-apt comparison

[King Zultan]

Wyll is BG3's Anomen

?

[Frumple]

If someone ain't done it yet, a story where folks actually owe their soul to the company store and end up being used as undead/unaging corporate enforcers could really stand to be written at some point.

[scriver]

Wyll is BG3's Anomen

?

Full of bluster and machismo, pretty toxic, and falling way short of his own ideals of heroism.

Main difference is that Wyll is more self-aware about how he's fucked up at the outset of his story while for Anomen getting the self-aware stage was the good ending of his personal quest.

Granted I am fairly certain, though basic it only on what I've seen in Kagus' "is playing BG3 in area X" steam announcements, that he was pretty much in the beginning of the game when he said that. I also haven't played much more than the first chapter yet, so I am not in the know of where Wyll's story goes from there (keep spoilers vague pls).

I wonder if there is a way for me to accurately estimate how many unique iterations my planet generator can procedurally generate. It must be a truely huge number at this point.

Do you guys know how this can be done? Besides manually counting each and every variable, which is nigh impossible to do so by a human at this point in the project.

You could write a program to count each variable and then calculate the total possible combinations.  However, the specifics of the calculations would depend on the variability of your variables.  So you'd have to either have a way to tell how many states each variable can be in by scanning the definitions, or something else along those lines. 

For example, if you have 3 variables, each with 10 states, the total number of possible permutations is 10^3 (1000)   If those are instead binary 2 state variables, then there are 2^3 [8] permutations.  How the variables can be combined and ordered may also impose limiting functions on your calculations. 

Probably the easiest way to figure it out would be to seduce a college math or computer science professor, and get them to pose this question on a midterm or final exam, and then let the students figure it out for you.  I don't think there is going to be a fast way if you are generating planets with more variables than mere mortals can count.

Your answer will be so large, that it will be meaningless though.  Just 100 true/false variables has almost 2 nonillion [2 followed by 30 zeros] possible unique combinations.

So... I guess I will never know. There are too many variables. There are just too many.

How are you going to grade the exam if you haven't got the answer yourself? Only check their work and hope at least one of them, the one you chose as "correct" got it?

What sort of variables does this planet generator permit, by the way?

Here, see for yourself.

How are you going to grade the exam if you haven't got the answer yourself? Only check their work and hope at least one of them, the one you chose as "correct" got it?

With math questions that take 8+ pages to solve, the grading is based more on how you showed your work than on if you got the right answer or not.  It's more of a test of your problem solving approach, so it wouldn't matter much for grading.  But in this case, since we are interested in the answer, you could compare all the answers amongst the top 5% of students, and see how many of them got the same answers.  With a large enough class size, and a solveable problem (assuming this is), the brightest students will find the correct answer.
