How to manage AI equipment in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

Sponsored Links
I must be missing something, how can you manage the team of AI party members? I have given some gear for them, but I can not seem to find a way to re-examine your computer. Without this ability there is no way of knowing if you are giving an update, which still need pieces, etc. At slightest not lacking micromanaging ridiculously monotonous. I have the PC version, if that factors in.

I certainly haven't found a way to do it. Would encompass been pleasant if Snowblind give details their doings on this topic in the manual. I.e. not needing to micromanage stats/inventory. Confused the snot out of me for a while before I just let it slide and forgot about it.

Also, if you are playing solo and decide to "give" a weapon or armor to one of the NPCs will disappear forever. By changing the characters, the item cannot be equipped or in your / inventory. Uberkull haws that for some BS?

This has a single-player mode. The single player mode lets you give items to party members to equip. There is absolutely no way to control what has been given new items or compare picked up what they are using this system which makes a ridiculously broken. That said, considering the options available, it is logical to assume that if you do not give more items to the AI party members continue using your computer then it began. If this is not the case, should be clarified by the developer. If this is the case, then they need to fix their broken system. The manual has no mention of him or another of mass surveillance.

Re: How to manage AI equipment in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

If I start feeding my Ranger AI to pieces together, and collectively the whole may be greater than the parts of the AI evaluated once. If I give the AI a piece shoulder joint and shoulder he XYZ Piece, individually, is a little better than it sounds like you can equip. This in turn breaks set bonuses and ultimately goes against the intentions of the player. The game needs the ability to inspect the computer AI and manually exchanging equipment as desired. I also read in another post that when auto loot a chest of AI and loots, and can pick up on their own. I had no idea what was happening and this is definitely a good thing, but the player is in the dark as to what the AI is picking a bad design.

Basically, it seems that in the single player mode is on a scholarship but cannot communicate with the community. I had a different impression. I could give the loot to the bird flu and then to switch characters can use the loot and plunder IA using the equipped. It would have been good to know this first hand or a popup warning.

I have read many people complain / ask for help on this issue. To be honest I'm very confused about how this Inventory AI vs. Player works, I guess it will only get a real understanding of what I pick for the match tomorrow. I think I'll spend a little while conducting experiments, exchange of equipment between party members, changing characters and see what happens with the team, etc. Then, when I understand how the system works, I'll start a new game.

Re: How to manage AI equipment in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

That's fine you want to end the game as a character and I can see it's fun to be for some people. However, some of us, including SB states can switch characters at certain points to get the full experience with racial skills and abilities of class. Nobody is saying that these problems are required or inventory management is necessary. What I am saying is that if the single player mode you get loot AI to change classes, the spoils should be there at least. AI management is fine for me, but I do not like change on the fly. I like how you can change only at certain points, but would have been nice to know inventory is completely independent AI. Who cares max min approach, let's face it is sometimes fun to equip what you want.

The AI equip their own weapons and armor, as the pickup. When buying things for them, if an update that will be able otherwise your wasting your money. I've been ignoring my characters artificial intelligence and the've been doing very well for me.

idea Re: How to manage AI equipment in The Lord of the Rings: War in the North

I spent the whole first chapter patiently giving the matching class items to the crew and finally switched over, to complete their inventories; and guess what, ALL GONE.

None of items were there, all missing. WTF is this, WTH I thought. Then, with a smile, I remembered how I didn't pay for the game and couldn't care less, how the developers were lazy to make a logical single player system.

Total waste of time, it's unbelievable how they could do this. Completely ruins the game, like totally. I hope whoever was in charge of this gets fired; like really.
