It'd be fantastic as a mecha-piloting sim, though. The limitations of the control scheme would allow for a "realistic" experience!

The controls would be... Interesting? I mean in all realism, if done well it would be awesome fun, but just a tiny bit off with the controls and your going to have problems. It would be easier if you went the Call of Duty rout and have one person drive the thing and another shoot, but then your locked into a 2p game.


EDIT: Lol, pbat is building a fort to protect himself from a goblin invasion. Sucks if the tutorial guy sees a sock outside, runs to get it, and lets them all in.

Oh God, PBat annoys the crap out of me

'We will make the floor out of iron, because in RL you don't have copper floors'
'We are going to make the floor out of copper!'
'We are definitely making the floor out of silver!'
'We have enough silver!'
'We do not have enough silver!'

Nothing beats him blabbering on senselessly about the guide. Jesus, get over it already. He can in the middle of anything and see the guy, and launch into "blah blah blah blah blah wasting their world's air blah blah blah."

I always liked tutorial guys, they make for fun test subjects, and when I know how to move water up levels, he will be the first in the drowning chamber. Yay for the glory of worthless NPC's!

If it annoys you so much, why do you watch it? Or for that matter, is it that important to share the annoyance? I personally find the guy to be quite random (sometimes a bit too much :P), but funny and nice overall.

He cannot drown.

I plan to just drop him into a large pit, but judging by the dev LP's (when they dropped him in a pit, and walled over it) that will not work. He ended up back at spawn.

While I concede that he has he's moments, he is well into the 'urban tosser' side of the alignment grid, and as I'm cross classing between a geek and a lady killer, I gain so many attribute bonuses against him, I am obliged to roll taunts.

Annoying the crap out of me might not have been the best way to describe it. I'ts just a bit frustrating and very funny/random like you said :P

It turns out, the first room you make (back walls, door, light source, whatever else) gets claimed by the guide. I think that's what happened in the Dev LP, they finished the house, so he ported in while off screen. My plan is to lock him in my basement, or at least far away from any sensitive doors.

Even if they fix his (NPC's?) AI in the future, I'm keeping the guide in my basement. Just 'cause.

Sounds like a plan, and I like it.

I may request they make chains placeable, with those clamp things Pbat found, put them together, chain him up in a dungeon.

Actually, I think lava kills him. If it doesn't, keeping his house/shack/room always partially flooded with the stuff won't hurt anyway.

In the end it doesn't really matter probably. Once the conditions for NPCs are met, they'll respawn if they die. I don't know if that includes the guide, but it probably does.
