Yeah, I never really got the hang of Analogies. Point is, it's like something that's got a lot of problems, but it's not that tricky to fix things, and if you keep going back and fixing things you'll never finish. I guess it's more like writing an essay freehand - sure, you just noticed an error two pages back, and it'd be better to rewrite that entire page than to line it out and make a correction, but if you keep rewriting the old pages every time you find an error you'll never Accomplish anything, you'll wind up with one page of an essay that never goes anywhere, right? Sure, it'll be a very Nice page, very cleanly written and all that, but it'll still be Incomplete verses a full essay with a bunch of eraser marks and corrections in red.
But that's what Classic keeps doing - "Oh, this current state is no good, let's throw it out and start over." "This system NPC is flawed, let's start over." "These admins aren't good enough, let's wipe 'em out and start over", "This quest is dumb, let's throw it out and make a new one," etc. I shudder to think of how many imperfect levels, scripts, etc. were developed since the GS2 Move that got thrown out because the new administration wanted A New Start... |
