zin & blurry vision & ru

[twelwe]

i think recite should be affect by blurry vision because why the hell not? its not like the player joins zin and three piety in has the entire good book memorized, you gotta read that shit out loud from print. besides its not like you`re gonna have that mutation for long.

extra credit: code that up first, and then move on to ru devaluing sacrifice words if the player has blurry vision. suckers!

Because it's a weird, spoilery interaction that doesn't improve gameplay in any way, and might make it worse.

"Recite" means to do something from memory. If you're reading the book from print and not memory, then by definition, you're not reciting. So given the ability's name, I think we can safely assume that the player has the book, or at least the passage being recited, memorized when using the recite ability.

thanks for the dictionary.com reply, but memorized repetition is not the only thing recite can mean. god that sounds smart when i recite (read outloud) it

maybe they spend the first 2* reading the book and memorising it

No, sorry, that's not what "recite" means, twelwe. To recite poetry is to read it aloud from memory.

Edit: And what in the name of the evil gods does Ru have to do with... anything?

Right, otherwise you wouldn't be able to recite if Darkness effect was turned on.

I'm a native English speaker and I don't think I've ever heard recite used to mean anything else. What else can it mean?

Either way, even if recite doesn't have to mean something is done from memory, it usually does, and that still counters your argument that the character won't have memorized it at first. You're also arguing that they only don't have it memorized right away. So does that mean it should stop being affected by blurry vision by the time you're at 6* piety?

Either way, you haven't responded to my first point: why do you want to add an extra rarely relevant, extremely spoilery interaction to the game? We usually try to remove those sorts of things around here, not add them.

I hope you know who it is you're trying to have a discussion with?

Apparently not?
