The Shadowrun games use reusable sprites for the environment art. Some of them might be big singular ones like houses, others might cover floors, walls, props etc. and get reused.
There are level editors available for all three Shadowrun games, by the way. The complicated process for Pillars of Eternity and the old Infinity Engine games was probably the main reason we never saw level editors for one of them.
Thank you kindly for dropping by again and dropping knowledge. In the future, if possible, kindly tag me so that I don't miss out on your response.
And so, Shadowrun trilogy is entirely 2D sprite based, heh. And yea, now I recall, all of them come installed with an editor.
By the way, you mention, 'Infinity Engine games' but I thought that games of yesteryear like BG, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment were purely sprite based/2D asset based and that the only close comparison to PoE might be Torment Tides of Numenera (built in Unity, if I recall correctly).
OK, so the load times were the ONLY thing that isn't amazing in this port (controller works fluidly, turn based is a treat and everything looks/sounds/is great).
I deleted a bunch of saves to just 9 (including auto saves) now, and we just had Waitangi Day sales here in NZ (like a mini black Friday) and picked up a Samsung T5 500GB SSD really cheap ($89 NZD, about $60 USD). Formated it and moved this and Destiny 2 to it and WOW.....all I can say is, why didn't I do this sooner.
Loads were 25-90 seconds all day for me (even with the less saves), now they are 15-25 seconds all the time.
I cant recommend this little upgrade enough (helps a bunch with Destiny loading too, might move Apex to there too).
Game is a 9.5 easy for me, was getting dragged down by loading to about an 8 or less, back up to 9.5 now I reckon.
Having an SSD is eye opening isn't it (even when the console was not designed to best leverage the tech)?
Glad to hear you're enjoying yourself. I wanted the game for Xbox One X and unfortunately, altering its internal drive is tantamount to tampering with it (voids the warranty).
If the game devs ever patch in Pro and X enhancements, I think I shall pick it up.
Appreciate you dropping by and sharing your updated experience because that's a significant difference.
