[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7218719"] Likewise I'm a bit flabbergasted that you are mis-interpreting my argument so bizarrely.* As I've said now twice I think it's different when the target is distracted in another direction, and my only issue is with using the tactic repeatedly. In other words, once you know there's somebody shooting arrows at you from behind that rock, and you are generally facing in the direction of that rock, you're going to notice him popping out. Yes, even in an FPS. Especially since it's going to take him some amount of time to re-acquire you visually and aim his weapon. As I keep saying, I think we largely agree, except on the "designer's intent" bit, which ultimately is just an interesting philosophical discussion anyway. Or should be. Except that it feels...as usual...that you're more interested in proving other people wrong at all costs than in having a discussion. Case in point: Yeah, um, I just said it's a matter of opinion and perspective. So, no, you should not take my word for anything, you should definitely hold your own opinions. Although I do wish you'd recognize them as such. Are the shortbow rogues hiding in the same place every time, with the opponents only facing toward that hiding place? Then, yeah, cheesy. Get out those shortswords (better yet daggers...but rapiers are also cheesy) and go stab something, for chrissake. * EDIT: Actually, that was a lie. I'm not flabbergasted. I recognize that it's far easier to attack my position by first brazenly misinterpreting it. Otherwise we'd be left with just a friendly discussion. [/QUOTE]
