I need a quick response so I am asking here.

In browser based text games do you prefer to see your modifiers and rolls like in my fishing pic

or do you prefer all calculations behind the scenes and to just see the outcome, success or fail.

The way the above works is the image is a animated gif, the messages output every 3 seconds, so it displays your total..wait 3 seconds.then your roll...wait 3 seconds..then the "ponds roll" ..wait 3..the success or fail

i dont know really.

i dont mind it, but somtimes the screens can get annoying.

is it possible to move the calculations to the chat bar? im not very sure how to describe it but have you played the first never winter nights? they did something kinda like that.

either way i dont mind. but if it will take the same amount of time either way i would prefer to keep the calculations so i know what i need to beat next time i fight that person. it also allows me to know by how much that thing is better then me so i know not to fight the creature again.....

sorry if i just rambled on a bit there. :P

I agree with viper on all the points here. but if it's just gonna be too much hassle to change anything just keep this way, i don't mind :)
