Quote:Um, but you DO complete all those quests. Something actually does happen to the world and it changes. I can see how you may still be annoyed, but this is NOT like some MMORPG. You aren't just gathering X amount of item, you are going on a real and actually fun quest. So what if when you reset the effect is "undone". Everything you needed to get from it, you still have. You can go on as if it still is in place. I really don't get how you are viewing this.
You complete them, but then you go back tomorrow and the stupid rock is still on the path to the farm, the aliens are back, the Goron area is still snowy, the Zora band's problems are back to square one, Ikana is haunted again, etc, etc, etc... it's annoying... both for a 'satisfaction at a sense that you are achieving things' sense and a 'going back to do other quests' sense... yes, having to beat the snow boss every time you want to do a quest in thawed Goronland really isn't nice at all...
Quote:And, for some reason I don't really get, by the end of the game, somehow everything you did manifests itself in that instance of the timeline and comes to pass.
Huh, odd... I'm sure I'll finish MM sometime (though not with all the masks). Haven't gotten around to it yet though...
Quote:Oh and, don't lie to yourself. The bank isn't keeping your cash, you are stealing it . That stamp of yours tells him exactly how much money you have in the bank. If you reset time, all the money you put in the bank is gone, but that stamp you took with you isn't. He never thought anyone would forge the thing , so he gives you all the money he thinks you have in the bank. Basically, you stole someone else's deposits.
I don't know, I don't think the stamp says your bank balance on it, right... no, it's just a magic bank. :)
