There are many things people dislike about RPG maker. I am generally tolerant; however, I just had my play through ended by one of them. I got trapped by to of those trap people and lost the fight. I saw the scene and was instantly put back into combat. I tried to escape, failed and was defeated / scene. Escape successful, instantly back into combat, loss / scene...a few more times and ALT F4 delete the game.
There needs to be a few seconds after a successful escape before the enemy can move or attack. After a loss and the resulting scene, that enemy needs to go away or or pass out for a nap instead of instantly attacking again.
That being said, I could not figure out how to build anything except the basic items, no fire or shelter etc.. There was no way to select the item from the build list or any other indication on how to build things.
I'll try again in a few builds.
P.S. Another thing that always bugs me (although not game breaking) is the loud stock music. Turning it down to 20% isn't enough, but 0% is too much. can we get an option to go to 5% increments? I don't want it off, it should be in the background.
