So much evidence led us to believe it was. I read some anon on here say indoctrination theory was true and that bioware meant to leave it open to interpretation to drive discussion of the game. I wonder if that anon is still posting on this board. He seemed very knowledgeable on mass effect.
>>3490313I love you schizoanon, I wish I could meet you irl. Even if all this is actually nonsense.You are actually conversation-smart and can know very well when someone is trolling you, teasing you, or talking serious. Thanks in advance, hope you rescue your squadmates.Good luck, commander.
>>3444758i'm agnostic about the theoryi think that the illusive man was sure as shit indoctrinated so control is actually a 4d chess move by the reapers to implant an organic intelligence to rule over them as a new sovereignThat deep down they want to be reigned in by organic life
>>3490717>>That deep down they want to be reigned in by organic lifeThis is far better writing than what actually occurred.
>>3453851I noticed absolutely none of those (I guess I was smoked out of my gourd retarded at the time) but when I got to the ending I just mentally checked out a few seconds in. Never really thought about the implications for the lore but I just sorta stopped thinking about what happened next.
>>3490535>Good luckNo worries Im profoundly lucky to a seemingly unnatural extent. maybe bc when I was a young man I spent nearly my entire 4th Year ocd searching for a 4-leaf clover, or that has fuckall to do with it and the Irish luck memes a hoax? Im perhaps the luckiest anon alive, were I an RPG character my Luck Stat would always be 100 even when Im level 1 idk why. However in the unlikely event my luck does finally run out soon, I have kevlar>Even if this is nonsenseHer sins must be truly great indeed, or else God and The 9 Divines would not have sent a punishment like me upon her. Frankly Im sick of this evil scheming lunatic toddler eternally getting away with it bc of her stinky Jew vagina. Nobody else has the guts to bring this monster to Justice, your earthly proverbs state "If you want it done properly do it yourself" so it kinda falls on me to step up to the plate to end her 46 year reign of terror>Hope you rescue themMe too and my mission has larger consequences giving me deja vu of my fave mission of the trilogy. The 2nd mission, "UNC: Expose Saren". I nicknamed her Saren to serve as a reminder how imperative it is I dont fuck my mission up! Upon recovering my guard dogs&stolen property I need to expose/incriminate/ruin her, set it all up so her divorce judge sees her as the hostile devil-child she is ensuring she gets nothing/her husband gets it all, get $5,000 court mandated dollars from her for drugging my dogs after I told her NO, etc. I dont even want the cash I just dont think that greedy whore deserves that 5000. were it any other femoid fucking with me Id show mercy, not rob her blind in court. I hate courts. credits are fake&gay, Ill just give my mother that 5000>wish we could team upThe Force has a funny way of working these things out. Perhaps my adventures will take me to northeast Africa and we can raid tombs fighting mummies or sniff cunnies or whatever you guys do for fun in Egypt. Believe it or not I've never been to Egypt
is there any chance in hell that this will be good, or even decent.
>>3490264>>3490273>made up thing in my head and now I am mad!Okay?
>>3486156What? No.
>>3490264Too early to tell, lets wait the reveal this summer fest. I am so mad they went for action real time gameplay, why not turn based you little dipshits at bioware WRPGs will always fail at making good combat in the form of action rpg because they will inevitable get compared to From Software and other action games like Nioh, they have a choice to polish their action gameplay but at the expense of the RPG mechanics and other gameplay systems which would kill their core identity, so its either a janky bad action combat system or a good turn based one and they have chosen wrong again. Bioware are stuck in the 2000s with no intention to evolve, turn based are popular again. Even if you dont make it turn based at least make it real time with pause. Ditch that pseudo action shit
>>3486156Doubt it. They've alread completely trashed all of their progress and started from scratch at least once, and they were planning to turn it into a microtransaction ridden hell because EA execs have literal brainworms.
>>3486156Dragonage was a dead IP when two stopped being an RPG.
Is TTW the best or the worst way to play Fallout 3?
If you just want to fix bugs, I assume that both Fallout 3 and NV have a comprehensive unofficial patch? I know NV also needs Sawyer's "mod" because suits demanded the retail version be nerfed.
>>3475500i could never get fo3 to run on pc so i've had to play TTW for a whileit's kinda goofy that the best version of base fallout 3 is probably series x backwards compatibility
>>3490374Fallout 3 used a system called Games For Windows Live (GFWL) which connected your PC to your Xbox account. Since GFWL was discontinued, it broke every game it ran on. Bethesda literally didn't fix Fallout 3 until 2021 when they removed GFWL.
>>3484339>I hate those giant supermutants, absolutely immersion breaking, it's just simply not possible to increase a humans size that much, no matter the FEV technobabble.There is a lore explanation. The FEV in super mutants actually makes them keep growing. Young mutants are small, and older ones are large. Super Mutant Overlords are the oldest non-behemoths but you see how similar they look to behemoths.
>>3475505Great bait you got replies.

Give me Beard and Peggy DLC.
>>3488324If they got a whole party. How the hell will they survive if they fight against something like Fried's team?
>>3383167>Being a coomer means you're high-T
>>3489913Yes? What do you think gives them that level of sexual desire?
How the hell do you beat the dark aeons? Do the sphere grids even have enough stats for you to survive one or two of their attacks? I have everyone's celestial weapon except Tidus, and Dark Bahamut is blocking the way. Also Dark Valefor is blocking the last primer and jecht sphere I need. What is the best order to do Omega Ruins, Monster Arena, and Dark Aeons? I beat a few arena bosses mainly by spamming overdrive aeons. I read about a trick to farm AP from a tonberry, what's a good point to do that without making the rest of the game too easy?
>>3483898FFXII has probably one of the most famous postgame boss who's fight takes hours to do.
>>3483898ff 13-2 and your third party member is a monster catching mechanic. Very fun and unique.
>>3483941I don't remember that ff13-2had that many super bosses? I remember only one and that shit was easy as hell. Tho I played the og ps3 version and didn't buy the dlc for the colloseum. Also keep in mind that certain monsters are only one of a kind (silver chocobo, Chichu who is also possibly the stronges tmonster in the game) and if you fuck up their level up path you can not get their full potential. Especially for chichu check a guide
>>3484231It didnt have a ton but compared to 13 before it there was so much more to do. Iiked experimenting with all the different class types too

Twice, now, you have attempted this sacrilege and nearly destroyed us all. You will not do this again, Joneleth.">Jon: "Do not call me that! I lost all right to that name when the Seldarine stripped me of everything that was elven, as you well know!">Ellesime: "And what shall I call you instead? 'Irenicus'? 'Shattered One'? Yes... It was a terrible punishment. But you violated everything we hold dear. You nearly destroyed us all! And for what? Power? Is that all you exist for now, Jon?">Jon: "It is all I have now, Ellesime. There is nothing else beyond my revenge. Revenge for what you did to me, what the Seldarine did to me.">Ellesime: "And your revenge has poisoned your heart. The Tree touched you once, long ago.

>>3484447it's a combination of the VA and that he was one of the first rpg villains that showed up at various points during the game instead of just at the end
>>3484388Yeah, he was a bit of an incel, but at the time it was more rare for a male to be thought of as just doing stuff because he wants to feel loved.
>>3489388>Imoen romance modDon't make me reinstall the game anon
>>3484388For me the Bhaal mojo inside the MC under the guise of Jon was a neater villain. Showing the MC dreams of what they could take on if they "accept the gifts offered" by the Bhaal essence. It giving demonstrations and discussions how they would fall victim to mightier creatures or be unable to protect those weaker if they don't use the Bhaalspawn powers.
>>3489396>>3490456Considering she was also unharmed physically, considering she is the one that gets you out, and despite you being the real target, you have to assume all the punishment was psychological and magic fuckery involving that.

>>3489526>cherrypicked 4 reviewsNot so fast.
>>3488363BasedI think Fie's straight up better now.
In case you haven't seen the new program:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=par0L0MOjrgI wanna see what you schizos will whine about now>inb4 persona>inb4 2 ezare my guesses
>>3483956>Is it really the level of change that apocalypse had vs 4?No lmao. He's copin hard. The reviews are already out. The new campaign plays out just like the original one but with 2 new areas and you get companions now.4A was literally an entirely new game.
>>3482812The game's launch has been 2.5 years ago and that's the point - it should not cost 70$
>>3490154It launched 2.5 years ago on the switch buddy. It's launching with new features and an extra campaign next month, they get to charge what they want for it.What's your scale anyway? Can you quantify your release date to cost ratio? 3 months after the switch version? 6 months? a year? 1 year 1 week? 1 year 6 months?The extra content?I'd be interested in your breakdown if you've thought that far ahead.
>>3490275nta but i've stopped buying most things on release because i expect there to be a 2-years-later enhanced ultimate definitive SSS+ edition
>>3488526the only good thing about the OG story was that it wasn't around much. because vengeance contains more content there's a very real risk of more story content.
What are some good lighthearted fantasy JRPGs? Dungeon Meshi has me craving the setting
Guardian TAles
No one remembers that Nippon Ichi came out with a "Dungeon Meshi with the serial numbers filed off" game?
>>3490171What that has to do with what OP said?
>>3490491>OP asks for a lighthearted jrpg due to Dungeon Meshi>Dungeon Meshi was inspired by the author playing WizardryDo I need to draw it with crayons for you?
>>3480553You got many weird picks. I think Etrian Odyssey is the closest JRPG to the vibe of Dungeon Meshi. >>3481333I second Grandia as a very good old school JRPG.>>3486861Solid pick
Gave the offline version of this a try. There is an english patch that covers at least the first 3/4s, after that the quests aren't done but the UI summary of what to do seems to be. That does have problems with lines running off the text box so you can't see. They are also obvious MTL that inverts a lot of meaning. The actual story is human translated.This is basically 2 Dragon Quest games. The first part has 5 races on 5 continents. You pick your own and you get a new party member from each. They each also give some benefit, alchemy pot, forge, riding thing, bag space...There are most of the standard classes, and a bunch more for getting pairs of classes to level 30, or a single class to 50.Skills are layed out in hex grid like 11. The main character only has grids based on weapon/shield. They can be reset any time for meager gold. The skill grid also has spaces for upgrade tiles that boost the level of all the adjacent skills. It's a nice improvement on customization but the actual upgrade tiles are pretty limited.Alchemy is kind of pointless but you can upgrade healing items and make 'coins' used as boss fight tickets. These boss fights are where 99% of the accessories in the game are from.Accessories can be combined with identical versions to add a lesser copy of their bonus, up to 3x. All the stat resistance ones are base 55% resist and gain 15% if you add a copy.Forge is crappy. You are heavily restricted by level including reworking anything you already have. Recipes are from rare drops, huge casino coin sinks and trading posts that have 1-2 per hour that only refreshes if you also visited an inn.Equipment itself is kind of annoying. The best stuff has 2 effects, from the range of stat resists or breath or magic resist and a couple more things. These max out around 14% with a rare 20%, meaning if it actually matters for a fight you are using accessories instead anyway.
>>3486977The party members based on other players are very smart and you can tweak them with the options, it's rarely an issueI like to have a monster party member on my team for healing and those have the skill point system like the player character
>>3486058This sounds bad. Thanks for the write up because I've been curious about it for a long time as a huge DQ fan.
>>3486075>>3486058I don't know what this is but I would plau for that demon girl and that purple priestess.MC also looks pretty cool. Not ridiculous and over the top like a lot of JRPG protags.
>>3487309MC is just for official art, it's an MMO so you create a character.
>>3486058Gambeson over chain mailoh tori you silly goober
What's the shit with this?Some kind of evil (or helpful) bot campaign?
>>3487461I used it for many years when I played vanilla D2 and was never once banned for it
>>3487481Yeah but what about the new b.net launcher? It's all on one account now and those games are expensive.
>>3485972>botsWould the bot actually cease to keep running if players ninja’d the high tier loot? If it’s just running a script then there’s really nothing it can do to prevent that from happening. I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a D2R bot myself as a personal project to improve my programming skills, but I’ve never used one before so I have no idea how they work.
>>3488232>Would the bot actually cease to keep running if players ninja’d the high tier loot?Nah, there's no big drama for them if their loot gets ninja'd. They're almost frame perfect but if they miss it to somebody's twitchy finger they just keep going as normal.Pretty much the only thing that'll cause them grief is if they die, which occasionally happens to chaos bots when Lord DeSais rapes them. They drop their entire stack of gold on death and immediately log out. A lot of bots gamble all their gold looking for sojs but they still usually stack up millions of gold because time spent gambling is time spent not killing stuff.
>>3487476no as far as i know you can even do it in the options faster than typing /players 8

>>3490555Nox > Sacred > Dungeon Siege > Silver > Diablo > Diablo 2
>>3490564Nox is fun to play but not to replay.Dungeon Siege is great.D1 is better than D2 indeed.But Sacred is just dogshit all around.
I want to go back!
>>3490582>But Sacred is just dogshit all around.kys faggot
>>3490093>it's either linear and in order or it's an MMOThat's the most dogshit retarded thing I've ever heard.
How come this game is utterly unknown??It is really good even if you ignore fan service, and that part is also great.I have problem with finding guides or understanding how to perform attacks. That Juicing skill, you are supposed to somehow trigger it and it should cause HP damage, but I just get overrun by goblins and raped to death.I find it crazy that game like Fear and Hunger is all over the jewtube, but this one, it is like only russians and chinese are playing it. Whole first level is literally anime adaptation.
I don't think there's anything more shallow, autistic and repellent than the combination of animefaggotry and right wing larping survivalism, coming from a person that has never left their basement and probably still believes in poopswords
>>3470293if this wasnt coomer shit id play itbut it is so im not interested
>>3470438This game isn't worth it because you have to become a whore if you want NG+literally the only NG+ benefits are getting knocked up and having a baby, its stupid, you can't do virgin runs
>>3490290weirdly specific unprompted post
>>3471321>Projecting this hard.Ew
Zoomer here. Any old rpgs with mouse look and real time combat?
>>3490513d&dtards are subhumans that thankfuly do not reproduce
>>3490542I guess that's why games like Daggerfall are destined to fail, never have true successors, and be replaced by corporate slop. Julian LeFay was a huge D&D and VtM nerd and wanted (but failed) to recapture table top.
