Quote:I always wondered if anyone (especially those enjoying challenges like cursed/naked mages) had considered the limitation of using zoom always on. The screen reduction of visual range would make many ranged attacks and spells pointless. Seeing the "big D" even bigger would surely be frightening.
Once upon a time, my Gothic Hamster (Batham) used to co-op with Dr. Zed's Ultra-Pure Goth. Both warriors were required to play zoomed, the HAM due to its bad eyesight and Zed because, well, that's just the way he rolls.
From what I've gathered, the zoom restriction ended up being the main reason most everyone who considered it avoided playing the Hamster variant. Playing zoomed has a different feel to it, particularly in Hell. Taking down witches with a bow is quite doable; you just have to send arrows back along the path of their blood stars. Taking down lawyers is a different matter. When they phase away, you often won't see where they end up...
Mm, now there's some nostalgia.
