| Summary | 0006253: Reveal things more gradually in the Grimoire (reintroduce gating) | ||||
| Description | Any kind of gating which makes sense would be good, rather than laying everything out for the user as now (albeit in a stripped-down form*). Personally, I advocate only revealing spells in the Grimoire (as previously) as soon as you have unlocked the one most relevant/gated arcane ingredient for that branch. You needn't have unlocked every single ingredient yet - thus it gives you something to aim for, if you want that spell - but there's still the excitement of seeing what you might unlock next without knowing about it beforehand. I'd also put things in the Grimoire with their full stat information from the get-go, since it's impossible to simply plan around "this looks shiny" anyway.

*Which strikes me as counter-intuitive anyway since the only information it's actually providing is how to unlock a spell based on its name - information which would be useful to people who already know about a spell before they have it. Which means they have information garnered from outside the game world, and therefore the stripped-down information provided in the Grimoire strikes me as more suited to a wiki anyway! I suppose if when you first unlocked ANY of the ingredients for a new branch of spells it appeared in stripped-down form, that would peak your interest in the available new spells without giving it all away at once. But the gating there might be arbitrary: just because you have common ingredient X doesn't mean you'll be able to find arcane ingredient Y for quite some time... Which brings us back to gating, I suppose! |
