what is the best rpg of all time?
Planescape Torment
>>732325034game of the decade
>>732325034Sure as fuck not anything with characters that look like that.
Daggerfall
>>732325034Elden Ring, Morrowind, Planescape: Torment.
>>732325034dark souls
Wrap it up.
>>732325214would have the female barbarian rape me anyday
>>732325125>smash wooden instrument>only the strings get bentdisappointing. is there a hidden strength check?
>>732325034mine
The mighty nein is kino and I am tired of pretending it's not.

>>732325125BG3 or Skyrim
>>732325348It's your perception check that rolled a nat 1 here buddy.
>>732325214why do Chuds have such a shit taste?
>>732326161Tieflings are a red flag for AIDS.
>>732325034kotor
>>732325214Based. This shit is for redditor band kids
>>732325034ones made in ms paint
>>732325214I don’t get how fantasy aesthetics for DND at least degraded this way. This would either imply the creators are tonally out-of-touch with what their longstanding fanbase loves or is encouraging newcomers who think everything should be soft, inclusive, gay and inoffensive.
>>732325034I wish the old Rankin-Bass art style had taken off and become the default "Western Anime" style instead of knock-off ATLA.
>>732326441you have absolutely no idea how the average DnD character looks like, because you not once in your life played a actual game. And it shows.
>>732326441Their longstanding fanbase has either died, drank the kool-aid, or moved on. Remember better days. It's what we got now.
>>732325034xenoblade 2
>>732326684time for retirement home, Grandpa. You have been replaced.
>>732325214>>732326567The bottom picture isn't actually official D&D artwork. It's fan art of a Critical Role campaign.Official D&D art isn't quite as bad, though it has a terminal case of the random niggers.
>>732326757The talent pool is full of calart shite
>>732326879Meant for >>732326441
>>732326757>>732325214So is the green guy a toon like goofy? He looks like one of those creepy toons.
>>732326757He wasn't joking. This couldn't be more ATLA.
>>732326879Legitimately. Bonus points to this one for also having an asian elf.
Eww, California art. OP works for this fagshit company.
World of Warcraft x mmo rts where you could gather gear and you could swap into any unit and the rts world is fully human x Diablo x poe x pso 1 and 2. No others rpgs would matter and rpgs would be fixed as a whole.Another good one would be roguelike story classic RPG where the story and playthrough is randomly generated turn based 3d and you get loot like Diablo x path of exile and you can make the RPG go faster and faster nearly infinite speed. I would hope that this has multiplayer so multiple people could work together as a team. Another best RPG of all time is world of Warcraft x x4 foundations x desecrators. Where you are in a space world and every faction has a different look quests travel the galaxy. Another good RPG would be deep rock galactic x Diablo x path of exile so you could have deep weapons and builds with enemies that drop loot. Recoil must never be lessened hopefully with cs 1.6 gunplay and the game should go faster and faster as well. It would be even better if this game was a ship water game that you could go island to island. Another good game would be a roguelike underrail. Or final fantasy tactics but instead of facing 4 enemies at a time it is 1000 vs 1000. And you all que an attack at the same time. Or also as well I would like an RPG that you use your camera on the weapon so it follows the weapon instead of first person. So it could be like unique camera placement. Also I think a game that would be fun and great is Skyrim or fp RPG with combat depth. Morrowind could be fun again I think. But I don't know I need more information. I want a difficult game that challenges you in first person that's not like dark souls more like phantasy star onlineEven though phantasy star online inspired dark souls. I would love to play a Diablo but with Nintendo characters.Desecrators x metroidvania which could be an RPG. Zelda with RPG aspects.This list is infinite what the best RPG could be.
>>732325034For me, it's Star Ocean 3
>>732325214True but needs gothic 90s as well
Death to all tieflings
>>732327401>the tiefling is actually good and the aasimar is actually evilWhat a tweest.
>>732325448>So then I brutally and painfully murdered my parents who gave me a perfectly happy childhood, because a teacher and my gay lovers asked me to without any form of coercion.>Oh my God, I want to give you a hug now, are you okay? :(
>>732325214Why do people like Critical Roll so much?
>>732326757Is this a man or a woman
>>732325125TWO gay bestiality scenes.
>>732326432When you reach the depths of soul, this is what you find.
>>732328812They're all generally decent at RP, obviously helped by their VA talent, they try and strike a balance between comedy and drama, their focus is on character interactions and melodrama, and Matt Mercer is just a really damn good DM. They're not to my taste, but their style is popular and they're competent at doing it in a field without much competition.
>>732327401I have nothing against Tieflings or monster races in general. Problem is when players think their race/class choices makes the character interesting, and not their story and personality.
>>732328812similar reason to why people back in the 50's (roughly? don't recall the exact era) that radio dramas were popular. it's just another way for people to enjoy stories.also the parasocial angle that comes with streaming.it's way too long for my tastes, devoting that much time to hearing/watching a game could be spent instead actually playing a ttrpg or doing something else. maybe some people do it 2nd monitor though
>>732329302That happened back in 3e as well. Drow paladins and shit. It's not new, I think stuff like World of WarCraft which was insanely popular mid 2000's and forward for awhile really changed how people look at fantasy races.
>>732329302My character is a human fighter.His backstory is that he grew up on a farm until he felt the call to adventure and went adventuring.His hobbies are adventuring. Is only quirk is that he immediately starts violently attacking anyone who tries to turn his adventures into a character dramas.
>>732329302>afro tieflingsshiiiieeeeeeeet
>>732329302>>732329410
>>732329695That's fair.Kender hate has been a thing since the introduction of Dragonlance. And it's 100% justified.Fucking Tracy Hickman.
>>732329475I can only imagine how bad actual PnP game sessions can be with the performative types.
>>732329835it's a gimmick character you maybe play in a one-shot.
>>732325214The thing on the left is beyond awful, the green normal human is an orc I assume, which is also awful. This whole orcs are just green humans is gay as fuck.The rest are more or less fine though? The tiefling with her quirky cutesy magic gets a pass because that that quirky "funny" bullshit is what a lot of people actually play for some reason. The goblin and the humans seems mostly fine.That's disregarding the artstyle of course, which is dogshit. But it's also not official, just deviantart tier fanart.Of course, all that said the top image mogs the bottom image in every aspect. It just doesn't seem as destructively awful as some people make it out to be.
>>732325125Yup. It really do be like that. Got even better with the customizable difficulty so I can enable the extra abilities enemies get in tactician without the fudged dice rolls so I can keep playing dumb thematic characters. Only played DoS1 and 2 once each and enjoyed them but I'm on my fifth BG3 character now

>>732332876>Gay porn dating sim doesn't count as a gameThere's a hundred hours of RPG attached to the 10 minute gay porn dating sim. Which would make it an RPG.

bg3 wonned btw
>>732333050characters still look like tumblrshitthey still talk millennialsetting is still multiethnicgender roles are still all reversedthose hundreds of hours are all gay, woke and bad, porn addict
>>732325214I think both of these have their place. It's roleplaying after all, you decide wtf you do. Nobody is forcing you to play a faggot in your own private DND group.

>>732333135Not true, but interesting reply.
>>732333165I say said it>>732333135They did a scientific study, btw. Porn addiction isn't real and is a myth.
>>732333158we have to tolerate the bad shit just because you can't stop it, not because there is a place for it>Nobody is forcing you to play a faggot in your own private DND group.True, that shit shouldn't be anywhere otherwise, unless it's a small product aimed at gays

>>732333218>Not true,lol>>732333220aka noone normal, thaks for agreeing>>732333220>They did a scientific study, btw. Porn addiction isn't real and is a myth.>lying on the internet>lying on the internet to defend your right to consume gay porn, of all things
>>732333176GOAT music is the only reasonable way to make any swamp bearable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kxa7rBB1Z6kAlso Kuro best girl.
>>732333346You lost, bg3 wonned bigly
>>732333165>said noone normalAnon, BG3 is the most normie CRPG ever created (so far). It's literally baby's first CRPG.
>>732333207Yes. Everyone hated Kenders and this was in the goddamn '80s before you had online consensus on things.
>>732333232whats wrong with this picture, idgi, me and my gf as the cute trad white couple on the left in the back
>>732333392>nu-hu not touching my gay pornkek>>732333397normal people rode the hype, then dropped that shit once they saw that it was turnbased and gay, without even getting through the first part.All the discussion around it is faggots wanting to fuck ugly gay shit
>>732333274holy cope, im sorry but leftists kind of won like 10 years ago and diversity and tolerance is kind of expected and accepted by default. all my normalfag friends love bg3 as it panders to everyone and they can play as little straight badass warrior chuddies and be happy. the reality is that incel chuds lost since they were too lazy to participate in society or create anything of value so they just let leftistGAWDS win. bg3 wonned. woke games won. wokeness is the default, and now it's woke to say things are woke. get over it unironically or die mad.
>>732333493>normal people rode the hype, then dropped that shit once they saw that it was turnbased and gay, without even getting through the first part.I doubt it. BG3 has ridiculously high achievement completion rate on Steam in a genre notorious for having lows. Either there's a massive explosions in CRPG audiences or your average player actually stuck with the game.
>>732333493It's literally co-op. None of that matters when you do it with a group.It's normie as hell.
>>732333571Gay porn addicts played it a lot for the gay porn>>732333558Had to stop reading midway because you were just making gay noises with no meaning or basis in reality, and that's why everyone voted against you, even your sideyou lost your culture war. normality always wins in the end.no need to cry now
>>732333713>play gay porn with your gay frienduhh no thanks
>>732326757Looks painfully millennial.
>>732325214>three effeminate faggots>two stronk muscle lesbians>two quirky chungussesNo I don't care if one of the faggots fuck something that identifies as female, they all onions as fuck to look at. Absolutely grotesque dogshit designs and character concepts in every way.
>>732333732>normality always wins in the end.Which is why BG3 did so well. It's normie as all hell, and a step back for CRPGs. But probably what we'll get more of in the future unfortunately.
>>732333732>you were just making gay noises with no meaning or basis in reality, and that's why everyone voted against youlol?nigga turn on cnn you're losing bigly (opposite of bg3 that wonned bigly) and you're literally a pedophile
>>732328812Highly planned and curated DND for them to point at and say "That's me!"
The 2-3 resident defenders of BG3 always shit these threads, getting more and more mad until they ragequit and close the thread because one of them is a troon mod
>>732333824>and a step back for CRPGsyou lost troonfinder shill
No tieflings at the table.
>>732333732HOLY cope, name 5 AAA games that released in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 that are not woke, and name 5 AAA games that are upcoming in 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030 that won't be woke and won't have body type, trans rights are human rights, black lives matter, and lgbt/bipoc representation. You know that the overton window has completely changed and these things are considered part of western canon now, they're as integral to our societies and cultures as deep as you can get, impossible to remove. Nobody even questions it anymore among the normies and have accepted it by default. You lost the culture war. You can't even have your safespace on 4chan anymore, even 4chan is now full of leftypol bvlls and normalGAWDS tired of poltards. You lost. BG3 wonned. Game awards wonned. IGN wonned. Reddit wonned. Gamingcirclejerk wonned.
>>732333779You don't use the companions when playing with a group.Not sure why you're sidestepping that the game is normie as hell and baby's first CRPG. Starting to suspect you're secretly a fan of it and trying to throw it off.
>>732333809Thisthe "but there is one non gay thing there" faggots are pathetic beggars
>>732333886Do you not know what "a step back" means? It's not positive.ESL moment?
>>732333854>>732333886>>732333906>gay rage building fastQED
>>732328812>voices of famous video game characters i like do the thing>good at improv acting>stories can range from fun and silly to mature and dark>good production qualityIt aint that deep and complicated
>>732333984it's still dogshit for mentally ill people
>Troonella having a melty ittkek love to see it
>>732329475>>732329835I've got another character.He's a human cleric.His background is that he was a priest of the most relevant god when he heard about whatever the plot of the campaign is about and came to give his assistance. His hobbies are praying, healing and being religious.His personality is that he really likes his religion, knows a lot about it and is religious. He heard the voice of his patron god who told him to do the main plot of the campaign, but the party will be greatly punished by the divine powers if they start any character drama, romance or use therapy speak.
>>732334086your opinion is as irrelevant as (you) are. But im glad it makes you seethe.
>>732334184>reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee nooooo youuuuu
>>732326757Is it better than it looks?
>>732334007Not that Anon (thank fucking God for that) but try to sit back and read that insane shit you just posted. What the fuck is wrong with you?
>>732334151Unironically better than any quirky gayshit
>>732334151>His hobbies are prayingUnrelated but I can't help but imagine some guy praying during all of his free time and God getting annoyed that he does literally nothing but talk to Him all day. No wonder why prayer is only effective once a day.
>>732334250yes, it goes suprisingly dark and graphic
>>732334250My guess is that it's exactly as bad and retarded as it looksalso woke. noone ever liked that shit
>>732328812Because people like it as a SHOW rather than actual representation of real tabletop experience. Looking in from the outside isn't that interesting when you're watching awkward dudes roll dice and try to improv. I suspect that's why Vampire: the Masquerade shows like LA by Night attained some popularity given it's a property inherently geared more towards narrative.
>>732334328>pretending to be a normalfag on 4chan its da viktorian child incomprehensible woahjakDOGGGGGGG TOEEEEEE HELP ME DOGGGGGTOEEEEEEEE
>>732334371when leftist machildren say that it usually jsut cartoonish violence and millennial writing
Theater kids ruined DND
So you made a thread just to shill more bland, corporate, faggoty streaming service garbage based on something ONLY women and faggots like? Yeah, go away. Not vidya.
>>732333950It's positive if it goes in the wrong direction.Your rage blinds you, young anon.
>>732325034Depends on the metrics you want to use.Popular metric is production values and presentation which is inevitably going to lead to the BG3 conclusion.Whether that should or shouldn't be the case is certainly worth discussing.Lot of us are looking for different things in an RPG, so what is "best" is going to differ greatly that the typical casual opinion of BG3.
>>732334371>dark and graphicNo, I meant like, are the story/plot and characters good, dark doesn't make it automatically good.
>>732334404Do you act like this in real life too, or is it only 4chan you've dedicated your posting hours to shitting up with this lunatic screeching?
>>732334435all modern media were ruined by catering specifically to the 0,1% of peopleI guess they are now regretting choosing activism over money and votes
>>732333950I know retard, that's why I called you a pathfinder shill.ESL moment?>>732334086>it's still dogshit for mentally ill peopleNigga you're on /v/ - Video Games on 4chan dot org, crying about bg3YOU are the mentally ill people
>>732334391So, Bing Bang Theory but for zoomers basically.
>>732334375>>732334420its a good way to gatedeep undesirables like (you)it obviously works
>>732334503Anyone using those metrics is an hobby invader
>>732334467So you don't know what "a step back" means.Just say that instead of whatever gay shit you're doing here. Sure there will be the typical /v/ faggotry of "haha ESL" or whatever, but non-faggots will explain what they mean."A step back" in English saying for "moving in a negative direction". As in BG3 moved CRPGs in a negative direction.
>>732334517i mean, its free on prime. Just watch it and find out. I dont know you, nor do i know your taste. Would you belive me if i say yes? Would you believe me if i say no?
>>732334521Anon don't make fun of troonella's dysphoric strokeit's a serious problem>>732334536>Nigga you're on /v/ - Video Games on 4chan dot org, crying about bg3>YOU are the mentally ill peoplenonsequiturand complaining on bad products is normal
>>732334628>please click on this lame ugly gay streaming product
>>732334521>posting GEMS on offtopic 4chan culture war threads to make nazi clitties leak is so incomprehensible broyou are BLACKED and RAPED, name 5 non-woke AAA games from 2020 onwards.
>>732326879>>732327184There's nothing I hate more than elves with human ethnicities.I don't really like them looking like white people with pointy ears either, but this only exacerbates the problem.
>>732334609No, it means to back out and reassess, you doubling down on your idiocy doesn't magically change the definition. Take a breath and read again, you'll see why you're mistaken.
>>732334739I like the elves in Glorantha
>>732334715im sorry you are a fag you is unable to simply enjoy things instead of obsessing over his next rage induced dopamine spike
>>732334628Tell you what, I usually like to give the benefit of the doubt if it looks any decent, but if I can't even get a single answer that says "ye, it's good" instead of "it's dark" or "well, that's subjective" then I already have my answer, but thanks anyway.
>>732334628>please give this faggoty corporate slop some views!Go home.
>>732334745Are you unironically ESL. Your definition isn't frong per se, but given the context it means what anon said
>>732334745That's a 2nd English saying. As in "let's take a step back". It's when referring to yourself or others (people), not a product, policy, etc.Saying <product> is "a step back" is for "moving in a negative direction".
>>732334827If you "enjoy" faggoty streaming service crap made for women you unironically need to be killed because you have nothing of value to offer especially on this site.
>>732325034World of Warcraft in 2004
>>732334827>turn off your brain and just enjoy bad gay lame products, broDefinitely an interesting stance
>>732334870>>732334856No, the anon was just retarded and should've said "a step down", and you larpers need to go to sleep already.
Best RPG is the one (You) played as a kid
>>732325320>FFM Threesome canon endingBased as hell game
>>732334910Okay. So you're ESL.Zero reason for you to be embarrassed by it inherently, but it looks dumb when you double-down. And probably worth being made fun of for doubling-down when you're wrong about it, but I won't do that here.Now you know is the important thing.
>>732334839>>732334880>you have nothing of value to offer especially on this site>on this sitewhy? Its easy as fuck to rage farm your (you)s>>732334830yes, it is actually good.
>>732334910step down just means disengage and has nothing to do with what anon was saying (a product moving in a bad direction)
>>732334250Worse. Woke fantasy guardians of the galaxy.
>>732335007>nu-hu
>>732328812Laura and Marisha are hot, I still remember whenever the latter washed that car wearing only a bikini, great shit.
>>732335023>>732334981You must be really getting your rocks off larping as an englishman or american, can't tell at this hour, could be either or, because I just don't believe people have become this illiterate.
>>732335035Why everything is gay gotg shit nowadays?
>124Actually you might just be trolling. Not particularly high quality trolling, but this is /v/ after all. Or pretending to troll after making a mistake. That happens too sometimes.Ultimately doesn't matter.
>>732325034really tryhard animation
>>732335124It's a clear sign that you should follow the hints your body is giving you : go to bed!
>>732325214I'll be real, the gigautist tiefling and the gobnahole thief are doing it for me
>>732325034>Millennial writing and designNo thanks
>>732335253It insists upon itself
RPGs is a cursed genre. It's nothing but VNs larping as RPGs
>>732326441Its a side effect of WoW and TumblrWarcraft made a cartoony art style for its RTS games as to make the units look legible.Then when they made World of Warcraft that style got translated into an MMO which became ultra popular and reshaped the landscape of fantasy media in its wake and with it the tastes of the youth.Then you let that sit for a decade and let the next generation of artist learn their craft while on Tumblr, leading to the exaggerated proportions to be but through a woobiefication and then The Adventure Zone got popular amongst that crowd it connected them to D&D, which afterwards they moved over to Critical Roll and CR being the heart of modern D&D pop culture was subsumed by this stunted mutation.
>>732335146Idiotization of the masses.
>>732326879This is 2014 anon, this >>732333232 is how it looks now. And most of the OneDnD artwork is similarly bad
>>732325034Gay or woman made this
>>732325034Tieflings are so cute.
>>732335253why? It's adorable
Would RPGs improve if all your party members were males that you can only bromance?It really feels like the discourse around female party members all revolves around how much players want to fuck them with like Kreia being the exception
>>732325034JRPG? Valkyrie Profile. WRPG? Probably BG3. Even if the builds are simplified as fuck thanks to 5e, dialogues are quippy and cringe, the story is unfocused and the world is somewhat disjointed i´ve never seen a game that gives more freedom of choice to it´s players. You can solve situations through dialogue, direct combat, use the environment, choose sides and even avoid choosing one.
>>732335146Well this one is based on a DnD podcast from back when GoG2 came out
