Two steps into the water and your deleted?

I think your graphics crack was bordering on rude - these graphics are fine for 2d.

They aren't as charming as some other games, but jorb's put a lot of work into them so they are pretty respectable even when you don't particularly care for the style.

I actually love HnH's graphics a lot. The UI could use a bit of streamlining, but the overall game graphics seem to fit very well with this type of game.

yup

[jorb]

but none of this changes the fact that it is a shitty year-old mechanic

True. Boats should capsize randomly every now and then, and drown you instantly. That would make swimming more useful!

Huu. Whats there to fix. OP neglected to use some common sens and to check if there might be something more about swimming then he was assuming. I main .. where talking here about a game with permanent (well almost) character dead and with nasty boars that hunt beginners around. What other hints do you need ...

you also have my condolences, i was not aware of your disability

lol. ... You care to much about not liking swimming.

why didnt you guys use waterskins or flasks i was crossing rivers fine under 40 con

Yup, 80 con + waterskin lets you cross any river. I never drowned because I actually bothered to check the forums/wiki before going to take a dip. I almost drowned once though because I didn't realize my waterskin only had 0.1 L left. Nearly had a heart attack.

Oldschool, hell yeah. I'd take H&H graphic over all this shitty 3D you have in other onlinegames.

you realize there are other games using 2D right

early 3D graphics are about the ugliest thing there is

[Avu]

And new 3D is so prohibitively expensive and time consuming it's not even funny. So if you want content you can be happy to look at 2D is the way to go.

Why do people gamble with months of work anyway? Counting tiles?

It's the journey that matters, not the destination. I don't play to get some arbitrary number in skills, I play because it's fun, and it doesn't get that much less fun when you lose some skill points.

Anyway, graphics wise, I think they're perfect for this kind of game. IMO 3D should never be used unless the gameplay requires it (like if it's an FPS or a flight sim or something), because it just ramps up system requirements and actually looks uglier. You just can't make models with the kind of detail a sprite can have and still render it in a reasonable timeframe on a normal computer. If there's anything that H&H needs graphics wise, it's higher resolution for even more detailed sprites.
