If I'm the only one who cares about getting Psions then I won't care if that entire line of research gets scrapped.
Seriously. I'm all for research becoming harder and forcing us to become far more narrow in what we focus on. If that means getting rid of the potential for Psions in full then by all means, let's go for it.
I'm afraid you'd be left in little of company in being okay with axing many such RAs, if the way the thread is drawn to shinies is any indication.
But still.
I
can axe about a
half third of the actions on the list, easy.
Won't change a thing, since we won't be picking them up for half a year IC
at best anyway.
As I said, the general gist of what we think/know is possible IC can be seen through them, which is kinda good by itself.
Will anyone care for us applying "breath-weapon X" to the fleshforged creatures?
Nah, not really, but
if we try researching into a template that has it, we'd have reasonable boot-start of 2-3
Progress, since we already have a sample.
Will anyone
ever care for Living Spells?
Nah, they are irrelevant. But they are a unique bit of magic we can trade, if nothing else, and we know we can tame them to one degree or another and/or make more of them.
Bronn's Sword, the Fleasticker? The Crown of Flowers, or Valyrian Plinth?
Pretty much irrelevant forever, but we can if we ever need some insight into making artifacts, for some reason.
DP justifies low'ish Progress on
most of the current RAs by us having a "high-magic setting"-grade base for research, and a
Elminster Brann the Builder-grade genius (in
potential if nothing else) as a head researcher.
When we move to new RAs that are at least slightly relevant, well, we see numbers like
Progress: 50.
EDIT:
@Azel, see above. Yes, there are only a few RAs that are realistically anywhat nearing "difficult".
Please regard DP's reasoning for setting Progress requirements low for all the
remaining ones, I have little to do with that.
Some of them we completed.
Most of them are just... there. Providing more information on what we know and what we don't.
Probably unlikely to ever be done, but
somewhat relevant to the quest regardless. Which is why I'd rather keep them regardless.
