Why do we play and mod and get addicted to this game? Here are some of my reasons.
1. Boredom. I am stuck running a third rate motel on 4th st in Reno. My clients are the ones you see on cops or Worlds Dumbest. A good day for me is one I don't discover a new smell or body fluid. So since I hate most of TV I spend a lot of time on games.
2. Mods. First off I have long wondered what it would be like to run The Defiant. Galactica or Andromeda and now I can cross them off my bucket list. Also Mods have awoken my inner computer geek and allowed me to become frustrated and angry at something other then Reno.
3.The Variety of Play styles. I have 3 transcendence folders. One is for a quick blow the bejesus out of everything just to release tension. I like to take God ships and blow up everything until Charon. It releases the tension. Two is for Modding and the third is a vanilla so I can just wander the universe without the need to blow everything up.
4. It is in my top two after Ur Quan Masters.
I am just curious. Why Do you play Transcendence?

Mods.
Here's a response to someone who asked me in RL: "Transcendence is like LEGO, except you don't have to clean it up after you're done. As a bonus, you also can continue building your universe the next day, where LEGO's have to be put back in the box."

After stepping on a random piece in the middle of the night enough times, your (or your roommate's) bare feet will hold you hostage until you do. >_>

Why do I play Transcendence?
Because sitting in a patrol car for 10 hours straight is boring as hell.

What with the lights, sirens, computers and hot chicks with big boobs trying to talk you out of a speeding ticket? Yeah I know the hot chick is actually a 23 yr old meth head who looks like a tree branch with a tooth trying to talk her way out of a hooker ticket. But I understand. In a previous more prosperous life I was a counselor in a 91 bed treatment center for Dual Diagnosed Parolee's It got dull real quick.YuriRuler90 wrote:Why do I play Transcendence?

I play to rid myself of my free time from entertaining the 'mentally retarded' at my local hospital. attempting to make those oakes laugh at 6 hour shifts a piece is hard as hell!

It fills my need for an open-world game that I can dick around in whenever I've got some time. Our computer is in sight of the TV, so it's a handy distraction if my wife's got something particularly girly on and I have nowhere else to be.
Mine is addicted to Clean House, Mike Holmes and the rest of the do-gooders. But when she puts on a old movie she says is great that is my cue. Learned my lesson after Meet Me in St Louis. Thank god she is over her Deadliest Catch phase that was a long 2 yrs.Lokasenna wrote:It fills my need for an open-world game that I can dick around in whenever I've got some time.
