@Alok Yes, yes, and yes.

@Alok Perhaps it's because the game is based on skill, and so you every time you play you get a little better and you derive satisfaction from the fact that you've made it further this time

Q: Is there any way to skip cutscenes?

@Alok It's not the only criteria per se, however, it's totally orthagonal to all other criteria, which are simply the criteria by which we determine whether any question is good/bad.

2:51 AM
Any other criteria that might apply to a 'list' question, (such as being a list of too many things to reasonably fit in one answer, as was the issue in the SWTOR question), is simply a problem of asking a question that's too broad, in much the same way that asking "How do I play all the classes in Diablo 3" is too broad. The problem isn't that the questions answer is a List of Things, the problem is that the question is insufficiently focused to be answerable.
 
user15026
@QAtash This is true. I am still pretty struggling, but I suspect that is my playstyle more than anything. I kinda lack finesse.
 
QAtash

@AshleyNunn KH was the first RPG I ever beat and it was because I powerlevelled early
 
LessPop_MoreFizz
LessPop_MoreFizz
The specific issue of lists without a clear boundary, by contrast, is a problem of maintenance - specifically they just aren't a good fit for our engine because we don't have any good mechanism for properly ensuring that they are kept up to date and maintained, nor is the inevitable one-per-answer that happens useful - it just creates very noisy answers that distort the reputation economy for no reason.
 
user15026
@QAtash Nice. The number of games I have actually completely beat is rather small, and mostly consists of Zelda titles.

So, moving on to a different but still very SE-Arcanay stream of thought...
Given that game identification is off-topic, I would think that font identification is even less so. Sorry! Check out the FAQ and feel free to ask any other questions you might have that would be a better fit. — Matthew Read 8 hours ago
I'm... not actually sure I agree.
See, the thing is, the problem with game identification is it's 'can you identify this thing I'm describing that I may not fully remember.'
You're essentially playing charades and entirely reliant upon the askers capacity to conjure accurate and recognizable details.
Whereas, this question is 'Here is a thing. Look at the thing. Do you see the thing? I would like to know what this Thing is Called."
 
QAtash
QAtash
@AshleyNunn Started many, but never actually finished any zelda games
 
LessPop_MoreFizz
LessPop_MoreFizz
And, well that has none of the problems that ITG actually does.
(A similar case could be made for allowing questions about 'what is this song in the credits', or 'what game is being played in this video clip', and honestly, I am perfectly okay with both of those two. They are asking for identifications of concrete identifiable things that can be referred to.)

Ok so in the event that a quest bugs out, one possible solution is to petition a GM, who will manually progress the quest for you
My particular GM hit the button too many times though so I skipped two stages

@pixel For the quest that bugged for us yesterday, I was able to fix it by accepting another quest then restarting that one.
It restarted the tier, and reset everything properly.
 
pixel

@StrixVaria this particular quest was a click something on the ground quest, like another quest that you haven't got to you, allows multiple people to use the same quest items at once
Couldn't cancel it because its the main story line quest
(in both instances)
so for this quest you have like an alphabet on the floor, and every symbol was lit at once
which isn't supposed to happen, and prevented you from clicking on any of the letters

@LessPopMoreFizz I'd be more amenable to the song identification question if the answers weren't so bad. agent86's answer is a guess, and Alexey's answer is lacking in verifiability, which is as good as a guess.

(Figured I'd ping you in chat than continuing to write another whole answer in comments)

@MarkTrapp It's perfectly verifiable if you happen to have access to the game in question, no?
Unless you mean verifiability of the liscense in question, which is a seperate issue.
 
user2334
Verifiability of the name of the song and who made it. Searching for it on the Google turns up different answers.

But again, I'm not saying that there might not be smoke here, I'm saying that the fire has nothing to do with identification or piracy, and we need to be careful about over-interpreting a rule beyond it's intent, which is my real point.
@MarkTrapp Hmm. Okay then.
Anyways, examples aside, mainly I wrote the post not because I thought those three posts were particularly shining examples of great questions and or answers, but because I was concerned with @MatthewReads comment on the most recent one.
I'm entirely amenable to there being other reasons that the questions I cited are bad and in need of closure and it's not really germane to the point I was trying to make. I mainly just didn't want to have the argument with matt in the comments of a closed question.
We cool?
 
user2334
Yeah… I've taken to ignoring close reason comments due to how badly they tend to miscommunicate a reason to close
 
James
James
@LessPopMoreFizz Yup, Balanced blade does just about double damage routinely when 5 resources are used instead of 1.
 
LessPop_MoreFizz
LessPop_MoreFizz
@MarkTrapp The problem with doing that is that they are generally the only communication the asker of a close question gets.
And since I tend to be to lazy or mean spirited to leave them myself, it's in my best interest, as somebody that doesn't want to leave close vote comments, to ensure that the people who do do so in a way that properly communicates to askers why their questions are problematic.
Because otherwise we get people coming to meta every few weeks confused about why their list request for RPGs with both swords and machine guns in them is somehow worse than that other list request for all the special attack combos for Blue Dude in Super Flashy Fighter 7.

And then somebody has to go and write up the same old song and dance explaining the difference and if one of the people who is Good At These Things doesn't get there first than the situation escalates and generally this is part of the problem of the whole New User Experience situation that we've been hemming and hawing over a whole bunch lately.
Which is to say: It's not enough to know the rules and be friendly to leave an effective, explanatory close vote comment, you have to understand the rules, and why they're in place in order to properly communicate them. Otherwise, we might as well just have the system auto-generate a comment linking to the FAQ whenever a vote is cast the same way it does for 'Possible Duplicate' comments.

The fact that ARMA II is the #4 top seller on Steam right now makes me laugh... Mostly because my assumption is that people are buying it solely for DayZ...
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz Right, but we run the risk of tipping the other way, which is why I felt the compulsion to write an answer to your response. Just because one person (or a few people) in the comments got it wrong doesn't mean the question should be reopened, or that the question was closed for arcane reasons.
 
LessPop_MoreFizz
LessPop_MoreFizz
@James Yeah, it's a noticable and dramatic difference, and you'll see it with all finishers.
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, that already happens: it's the close reason. To be honest, I find the whole "let's clumsily reword the close reason in comments so it becomes a whole production" silly and the cause of more problems than solutions or helpfulness.

@MarkTrapp Right, like I said, I'm amenable to my examples having been poorly chosen. But this isn't the first time I've seen this sort of rush to judgment because it structurally resembles something that we've had issues with.

@James Dancing Blade does less damage per tick, but the numbers are smaller, so the variance is too

Even one blade resource still does all the swipes but the damage of them changes from like 57 to 110 or so
 
LessPop_MoreFizz

4:54 AM
@James yeah, but since the numbers are smaller, it feels like it's more likely to be 'within the normal damage range', as Pixel said.
So it feels less like the extra resources are making a difference until you add it all up
 
James
James
Those numbers are very close to the difference in balanced blade to me.
 
user2334
@LessPop_MoreFizz On the font identification questions, I'm with you 100%. But I think your characterization of ITG misses a large facet of why they suck, which is not just because they are functionally unanswerable, but also because they're honeypots of crap: they beget crap answers and crap copycat questions. We didn't need a special rule for ITG questions because they're against like a half dozen other quality standards SE has, which I think the music identification question also violated
 
user2334
Where I think we go wrong, and thankfully that didn't happen on the song identification question, is when we say things like "Identify this-type questions are off-topic" like that means anything to anyone not heavily invested in how the SE sausage is made. We should be explaining things on a much more basic level, like the fact that identify questions tend to attract crap answers and other crap questions if they aren't worded almost perfectly.

WorldEdit is awesome. Been racking my brain on how to copy a complex cave system into a new Minecraft world, given MCEdit only handling rectangular prisms and not having a function to only copy interior air.
 
user2334
Decided to fill all the interior air with a block, then replace all instances of the block with air after copy, but couldn't find an MCEdit filter that filled spaces correctly. Spent 2 hours working on a filter myself, decided to try WorldEdit. //fillr did it in less than a second
