DOS2 vs WotR is a more fair comparison. BG3 had an insane budget, part of the reason why the normalfags got into it so much.

BG3 is more fun when it comes to solving problems by thinking outside the box.
WotR is more fun when it comes to character building and making some busted ass builds to slaughter your enemies with.

On that note, BG3 serves as a nice tutorial for newbies to CRPGs to learn how game mechanics work and get an idea of how to make builds.

I love turn based games. But BG3 turn based combat is absolute dogshit. Normies acting like BG3 is a good game are lying their ass off. Even boomer turn based game from 1990s had variety in their attacks. BG3, it feels like the only option you have is the attack button. And then as you progress further in the game, you can press the attack button more times. It's total dog shit. Even a monkey can press the attack button on a character like Karlach.

I never felt quite represented by the choices as a bleak walker paladin. Like, at all. The fact most missions resolve themselves with 1-2 outcomes is indicative of this straightforwardness in story design. Nothing like WOTR and BG3...
Oh, I forgot this about PoE1:
>unintelligible combat due to overdone effects creating a visual mess
Deadfire improved a lot on the first Pillars' design flaws but sadly Obsitards fell for the "dubbing every line of dialogue" trap just as they botched Tyranny (stilll way better than PoE1 doe) and we'll never get a crpg from them ever again

TB is artificially easy.
The only reason you can kill a chaos marine or a Helbrute or a C'Tan shard without taking a scratch is because he has to stand there with his thumb up his ass waiting his turn while Kibellah hops around and slices him up, then Yrliet takes five shots in a row into him because of the "extra attack on crit" ability from her Wanderer's Portent rifle, then Argenta magdumps into his ass, then Jae shouts "do it again, sweet sister!" and Argenta magdumps again and now he's dead, and Abelard declares "compared to naval service that was barely a challenge!"
Can't do that in RTwP
>>
>>724905691
I really like the ideas behind the Pathfinder games but holy hell do I hate actually playing them. Terrible combat, mostly terrible companions, terrible side gimmick, it's just a thoroughly unenjoyable slog for like maybe a dozen or so genuinely cool roleplay moments but then you're just reading them so it's mostly static and lifeless. Like yeah I can just imagine how cool this shit is in my head but videogames evolved enough that you don't need to rely on my brain for this stuff anymore. You can actually animate and act it out.

>Grid based movement sounds like a flat downgrade
In the same way that purists used to insist taking turns was a downgrade from RTwP but now everyone has come to realize it's clearly more suited to the tabletop-inspired format. Look, the whole concept of tabletop rule sets was predicated on these gamified abstractions: turns and movement grids. The reason Baldur's Gate and Infinity Engine games didn't do that is because they were trying to market themselves as action games. Yes, really. Just as you regard grids as a downgrade, the whole fucking isometric format was seen as a temporary and the transition to 3D action (as well as online multiplayer) a foregone conclusion. That's why World of Warcraft supplanted the whole fucking genre for nearly a decade.

So long as you're committed to an isometric format that is clearly an abstraction, why not go the full nine yards and commit to conventions strategy gamers have long known work best? Why continue to nostalgia bait with the clumsy half-evolved action mechanics of 90s CRPGs?
>>
>>724918997
But it's not a strategy game
How does exact placement of units assist with roleplaying?
>>
>>724918997
Because grid based movement still runs into the problem of diagonal movement and positioning being a pain in the ass. This was solved by Hex grids in actual strategy games and Larian calculating movement range within a circlular radius refined it

It kind of is. Most of the gameplay challenge is effectively the same as a strategy game. The DnD rule set was literally adapted from strategy war games. Since you're collectively playing for the whole party, it's kind of trending back towards a broader strategy dynamic.
>How does exact placement of units assist with roleplaying?
Isn't the omnipotent isometric perspective and controlling several party members a much bigger hindrance for roleplay immersion? Why do you prefer one game abstraction but not the other?
>>724919746
>Because grid based movement still runs into the problem of diagonal movement
I didn't specify square grids. As you say, hex grids became the standard.
>Larian calculating movement range within a circlular radius refined it
There's a reason turn-based strategy games don't really do this. A continuous movement space can't be reasoned about with the same precision as discrete segments. It's awkward to embrace discrete precision temporally but not spatially.

this except i don't think Original Sin 2 is a low enough bar either. maybe the first Original Sin. WotR is a very nice mobile game compared to Baldur's Gate 3, but you have to aim lower with your comparisons to find an equivalent. Owlcat games peers are like... Disco Elysium, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, Shadowrun Dragonfall, etc. they're not on Larian's level.

Completely wrong. You can start up a teleport spell and jump to high terrain you otherwise shouldnt be able to because a single pixel of your movable range fell on its edge. Not even hex grids can achieve that level of precision and there's no way to stop or nerf it. This is why movement and teleport spells in larian games are overpowered

BG3 combat, bossfights, encounter design, environmental reactivity, and quest design are orders of magnitude better than WotR.

Owlcat games are good as far as eurojank goes, but don't hold a candle to Larian, the best CRPG devs of all time.

There's no debate here. In the world, there are people who love quality RPGs and grew up on games like BG1-2, so they genuinely enjoyed the real BG3 in the form of WOTR, and there are lovers of homosexual sexual acts between an elf and a bear who watched a movie about it in what rotten developers called BG3, having no relation to the game series at all.

There's nothing to discuss when WOTR has an adequate RPG system with great variability for build-crafting, numerous meaningful choices and paths through the game, well-written characters, and a working plot, while Balls Hurt Gay 3 has 3D vaginas and penises, a scene with a bear, and a huge amount of mocap and voice acting.

Balls Hurt Gay 3 doesn't have a single quality RPG element. It has crappy combat, a bad plot, annoying characters, and linearity in everything.

What are you planning to discuss here? Everything's already decided.

I've played them all and i know what i'm talking about

Jae and Idira. They're already very close
Kibellah and Marazhai if you don't romance either of them (they disappear together after a great duel, neither body ever found)
And yes if you don't romance either of them, and if you give her the Path of Damnation ending, Yrliet and Marazhai will (((bond)))
But if Kibb or Yrli are your waifu, neither of these outcomes happen.

Owlcat have gotta start telling whoever on their staff has a thing for race mixing to chill the fuck out on all the black companions. If Larian have anything on Owlcat it is most definitely that BG3 only has one black companion and one Asian companion. The other 7 party members are all white. They didn't blow over half the party on """diversity and representation""" like Owlcat can't seem to stop doing.

Both games are woke, yeah, but the difference is just unimaginable.
Games from Owlcat contain only superficial woke elements, like homosexual romances and one troon character about whom you can learn that he's a troon only if you do his quest, ask about it at the beginning, then remember it in Act 5 after 100 hours of play and pass a not-so-easy skill check.
In BG3, you're presented with a whole spectrum of woke elements from defending the rights of refugees to terror against the indigenous population and the rights of squatters to occupy someone else's property to incestuous relationships and zoophilia.
In terms of its woke elements, BG3 stands on the same level as Dustborne.

DAV isn't even comparable to BG3 on a fundamental level. all the BG3 companions are opt-in but you HAVE to recruit everyone in Veilguard. i've got like 500 hours in BG3 and have never when met Halsin but EVERYBODY who beat Veilguard had to sit through the "i'm non-binary" scene.

You find out that it's a troon in Act 5 if you pass the check after completing the quest.

nothing about what those trans characters talk about is "woke" its just jarring they are trannies. Most of BG3 is a pretty straight laced DnD campaign if you remove the forced niggers.

I just combine a few from here and the game is great https://mods.rpghq.org/.

having to recast every single fucking buff on a new zone, especially long before you have meta magic is just bad game design, A GM at a table wouldnt force his players to verbally announce they are recasting every single fucking spell they want when they need it back up, they would let them cast in bulk to get to the actual gameplay. Playing the Ainz lich buff scene every other hour isnt engaging or fun and you are actually mentally ill if you do enjoy it

This is a system that encourages you not to abuse the rest mechanic. It's a punishment for trying to spam long rests after every fight.
You buff up at the start of a location and then clear the whole thing without any rests. In BG3, though, you can rest after every single fight, which makes the entire game braindead and primitive.

But BG3 is indeed VERY similar to DaV, and both games targeted the exact same audience.

Both games are sequels to great series, but have no real connection to the previous entries, feature extremely simplified gameplay compared to what came before, bet on a woke agenda, and are written in millennial Californian style.

These are brother games.

BG3 is the better game in most ways, but I still enjoyed WotR.

>>724926893
In what way does BG3 have extremely simplified gamplay compared to its predecessors? I don't have anything against the bastardized AD&D 2E rules used in BG1 and 2, and BG2 remains my favorite game in the series, but you would have a hard time arguing that they're more mechanically complex than BG3.

>>724927189
I imagine you would be making the exact same complaints about BG2 if it were released today.

>>724927230
I think the main problem with WotR is just that the encounter design sucks, and in such a long game with so many combat encounters that ends up becoming a pretty significant flaw.
>>
>>724905691
Regardless of which game you think is better, I think we can all agree that WotR is much more akin to BG 1 and 2 than BG3 is. I'm by no means a BG3 hater, but it feels more like what a good version of Dragon Age Inquisition would look like, than a sequel to BG2.
>>
>>724905691
I have 1000 hours into WoTR and like 200 into BG 3. I don't plan on playing BG 3 ever again, and already looking up to my next WoTR playthrough. but the only things BG 3 has over WoTR is graphics and encounter design. everything else feels significantly inferior, especially itemization and the RPG system
>>
>>724925763
And in the Owlcat version, all those little stacks add to one thousand damage and you're slaughtering the Elder Demon in one hit.
>>
>>724928774
BG3 feels more like the next evolution of Dragon Age: Origins complete with blood, cinematography and full VA, and the few sex scenes.
WotR is more akin to the Infinity Engine games like BG2, yeah.
>>
>>724925763

that's not WoTR, that's Rogue Trader. the only stacking shit in the pathfinder games is AC

>>724929282
Generally word of mouth. That's how it worked back in the day, people telling others about good games, but nowadays its way amplified due to social media I'd imagine.

If you just let people do stuff in a game without blocking too much off (without making it too overwhelming/cumbersome), people tend to gravitate to it seemingly. I personally hated not showing all the class features in-game for the full 12 levels, but I imagine it helped normies not get overwhelmed. Should've still put it in a side glossary or something in-game.
>>
>>724929282
I think people really underestimate the multi-player aspect to BG3.
I never touched it and have zero interest in playing a CRPG as multiplayer, but most normies I've known who played it played together or with a spouse/girlfriend and had fun that way.
BG1 and 2 technically had multiplayer, but it just didn't work well with their systems.

Pathfinder WotR is a DnD video game targeted towards DnD tabletop players that enjoy the stat minmaxing autism. It has a lot of depth and the mythical levels are there for the powertripping fans of DnD.
BG3 is a DnD game targeted towards normies who learned about DnD by watching Stranger Things. It is simplified and dumbed down to an extreme extent and you really have to try a lot to make a non functioning build. The lvl 12 cap is the most blatant outlier of that.

Both games have faggot characters, so arguing which one is woke, or which one is more woke, is a moot point. Tabletop DnD has always been a hobby for social outcasts with the majority of the playerbase being male nerds and the occasional dyke with dyed hair being the exemption that proved the rule right.

Remember that time you made a video comparing the combat WOTR and BG3 and you used shitty metal music during the WOTR part because you have the mental capacity of a 12 yo and thought that somehow that would give your argument validity.
>>
>>724932382
>It has a lot of depth
Look, I enjoyed WotR, but it absolutely does not have depth. All you do is make each character a save-or-die type or an attack bonus type. You've got a lot of options on how to get there but you're ultimately arriving at one of those two points. And that's all every encounter boils down to.

Rogue Trader is still my overall preference as a video game, though.

Same. I just love the 40k setting, and the characters in Rogue Trader feel real in a way that neither the BG3 nor WotR characters do

This isn't going to be a popular opinion in a crpg thread maybe, but Planescape was good for maybe one game (being PS:T). I dont' think it lends itself well for gaming overall all on its own, more for a novel or show.

It works well as an "in-between" adventure within a main adventure on another setting (since it connects almost everywhere pretty much). Again, I realize this might not be a popular opinion here.

It's a fucking 100-hour minimum game. Absurdly long (I'd argue that's a bad thing and far too long for mandatory non-optional game, but I imagine people would disagree with that).

Kingmaker is better than both and feels more like true Baldurs Gate sequel

Wrath is better than BG3, but has own issues. Kingmaker feels most like classical well rounded rpg adventure.
>>
>>724905691

Wrath of the Righteous is better in almost every single way. It's better written, better characters, way better class diversity, better music, better areas to explore and so on and so on.
The problem with WotR is it uses real time with pause which is inherently just a shitty system. It almost always just leads to prebuffing your entire party then right clicking everything dead.
The biggest problem I have with this is, the game throws items and abilities at you, and most of them you will simply never use because the gameplay is so hectic you will never really have time to think "oh that one ability I got 7 hours ago would be useful here".
Another problem in the same vein is there is simply no appreciation for what makes everything unique. My oracle/angel character had like 20 fucking buffs to cast. I don't know what any of them do and never bothered learning, I just know if I want to win I have to use them. Likewise, I never really bothered learning the difference between a Ranger and Slayer. They're just martial classes with a minor spin on them and the combat made is so I could never really appreciate that a Ranger can specialize in fighting a certain type of enemy, while a Slayer can specialize in fighting one specific enemy.
Also it's a D&D game without multiplayer (D&D is literally exclusively a multiplayer game).

Baldurs Gate 3 is for the most part inferior, but multiplayer makes it much more replayable and the turn based combat gives me time to fucking think about all those abilities I've got and strategize how to use them better so I appreciate them more.
>>
>>724933239
That's an understandable opinion.
>more for a novel or show.

>>724934359

Nigga please. No one can process all that information without constantly pausing (which turns it into a half baked turn based combat system).

You have 6 fucking characters, each with potentially tens, if not hundreds of abilities and can be fighting against enemy groups ranging from 1-20 in size.
You honestly want me to believe, in 1 turn (6 seconds) you can look at and process all this information and make the best decisions? No, you cannot, and no one can. You play the game like it's turn based so why not just make it fucking turn based anyway?

WotR uses both real time with pause and turn base that you can switch between

WOTR has it though
>>
>>724934491
>You play the game like it's turn based so why not just make it fucking turn based anyway?
Pausing chaos is nothing like orderly turns with (((turn order))))
>>
>>724934514

Yeah but the turn based mode is janky as fuck, and the game is not designed with turn based in mind. That one fight where you have to defend the buildings from hordes of enemies can take hours in turn based, but minutes in rtwp. It's the same with any fight with lots of enemies. Because WotR relies on waves of enemies instead of smartly designed encounters.

>>724934573

The game still has turns with turn order. You simply don't recognize it in all the chaos. You still pause the game every few seconds in combat though. You are just playing it turn based.
>>
>>724934531
>WOTR has it though
Correct. I was pointing out that anon's post claiming it was RTWP when it literally also has a turn-based combat mode built in-game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QUDeipApgU
>>
>>724934531
the game needs to be designed around turn based for it to work properly, wotr clearly wasn't.
if you play turn based on wotr you'll take 5 hours to get out of the tutorial zone. turn based doesn't work when you put 20 encounters per zone.
>>
>>724934627
>can take hours in turn based, but minutes in rtwp

>>724934640
interestingly Tim Cain mentions that he was forced to put real-time in (like Larian was forced to make their first Divinity a real-time game like Diablo). Seems to be a common thing in that era
>>
>>724934657

I actually tried playing through WotR in both turn based and rtwp.
In rtwp I completed the game in around 45ish hours.
In turn based it took over 100.

That is how much longer the game takes in turn based because of the number of encounters + the size of some of them.

The reputation and personality system PoE had definitely has potential to be amazing. PoE just didn't take full advantage of it, I guess. There were still some moments I vividly remember and liked.

>because I have deliberately never told a lie on my character, his reputation for Honesty is so high that I can just tell the court that my word is my bond
>they believe me
Based.
But then it got railroaded to the same ending that would have happened if I picked anything else, really. It's a good game but it gets really dry and it's easy to see the cracks and illusion of choice sometimes. Much more than a lot of CRPGs. If Owlcat's autism took a crack at a reputation system like that I could see it being truly great and delivering on the idea.

I think Age of Decadence did a better job of delivering on the reputation idea, but it's a different style of CRPG.

Turn based video games should be banned by law, its just a pointless, braindead waste of time.
Honest to God you cant come up with more braindead combat style than turn based.

thus, RTWP was born and made DND popular all over the globe.

>>724936750
>RTWP made DND games popular in the first place
well that is what happened, so yeah.
>>
>>724936543
hes right, baldurs gate 1/2, kotor1/2, Dragon age origins all were RTWP, BG3 being popular has nothing to do with it being turn based, theres plenty of turn based games like Solasta or Rogue trader which get mediocre sales at best, bg3 was attached to legendary franchise and was lucky with the timing and marketing blowing up.

That's what all the suits in charge of publishers were thinking back in the 90's and a lot of the 2010's as well.
A Tim Cain video was linked further up talking about how Sierra forced him to put Real Time With Pause into Arcanum when he wanted it to be turn-based.
It was something very few RPG makers actually really wanted to do. Only reason a few did it with the revival CRPGs is because BG1 and 2 did it (and it did it because Diablo was popular and storefronts were saying people dont' like rpgs anymore)
>>

arcanum had RTWP? i always thought it was just real time without pause which was horribly balanced and made, not that turn based was much better that game was a mess all around.

I just started Act 3 and its really astonishing how bad this game is at giving you useful information
want to know what flanking is and how it works? here's a very vague descriptor but no clear definition of its mechanics go look online fuckface
bless them for using a d100 system instead of the d20 dogshit everyone uses to be iconic and prove that they're true nerdy nerds but god is the UI just awful
pathfinder's UI was fat and obtrusive in its own way but at least if I wanted detailed information it existed somewhere I could find it

for all the good ideas it has there's at least one or two ideas where it feels like they just threw something out there and didn't really think about it
who the fuck thought it was a good idea to apply a malus to hidden object detection unless you were scouting
the melee engagement rules feel inconsistent and like it rarely works in your favor
skill system is horrible and party members not being able to aid the MC in dialogue checks is salt in the wound
just pump lore on the MC and basically ignore it for everyone else unless you want them to be a scroll caddy
stronghold turns don't make any sense either; lets create an arbitrary system of alternate timing from how we already track time, to what end?
the only thing I could really see it doing is stopping the player from just passing time fast traveling and slowly, passively accruing a pitiful trickle of income and materials from the two buildings
if you ask me if someone is willing to put themselves through that many more loading screens than this game already has you sit through for that they should feel free

I do like playing through this game and generally enjoy its combat mechanics but god they're really trying to make me feel otherwise
sagani has insultingly flat voice acting and I threw her out for the grieving mother immediately, though she's admittedly only a bit better
all the other party members sound fine, cant speak for bird niggra because I'm already a paladin

Adventure Background: An orc has a pie.

Adventure Synopsis: The PCs kill the orc and take his pie.

Adventure Hook: The PCs are hungry for pie.

Room 1: [The Orc's Pie Room] read the following text to the players:

>You see an orc with a pie.
>The room is 10 feet by 10 feet.

Creature: An orc.

Treasure: A pie.

Concluding the Adventure: Pie tastes good.

Further Adventures: Somewhere, there is a bakery making these good pies. Perhaps it's guarded by more orcs.

>In the same way that purists used to insist taking turns was a downgrade from RTwP
It is.
>it's clearly more suited to the tabletop-inspired format.
Ispired is the key word here. A tabletop game has to be turn based due to logistics that a video game isn't bound by. That's why BG was real time, they tried to turn DnD what is was supposed to be instead of directly adapting.
>The reason Baldur's Gate and Infinity Engine games didn't do that is because they were trying to market themselves as action games.
You pulled that out of your ass.
>the whole fucking isometric format was seen as a temporary and the transition to 3D action (as well as online multiplayer) a foregone conclusion.
Are you implying isometric view and 3d are somehow mutually exclusive? Are you retarded? Are the new Diablo games not isometric due to being 3d somehow?

cRPGs have been isometric because at the heart they're squad-based tactical games and isometric view is the most useful for that.

Larian spent years on Act 1 and then shat the rest out in a third of the time. They had no idea how to balance lv5+ combat so high profile bosses like Raphael and Ansur can just get raped turn 1 and half of Act 2 and 3 consists of filler trash fights with undead and bandits that can barely harm you

No
Because the game draws very clear parallels between good and evil. Between right and wrong.
Yes, you can help the druids drive out the refugees, but then you're aiding a puppet of the main villains and a literal Hitler-like figure. Yes, you can kill the squatters, but then you're helping a literal terrorist from whom even other terrorists are horrified.
Yes, you can kill them all, but then you're just a murderhobo yourself because you're killing 90% of the game.
And naturally, you lose A LOT from this. From the best equipment items, like the robe from Act 2 and heavy armor from Act 3, to companions and their quests.
In short, there's no gray morality or real choice in the game. In the first act, you're either killing everyone like a murderhobo, or helping a literal Hitler-puppet, or kissing the refugees' asses.
The game is deliberately designed so that it gives you a choice, but subconsciously you yourself accept that this is an EVIL playthrough for a BAD character. And what do we have in opposition to evil? Good. Consequently, you form strong convictions that killing refugees is evil, and saving them is good. All according to the Overton Window.
Everyone's just used to the fact that the modern woke agenda is very dumb and tries to shove its opinion down your throat. But in reality, there are other ways to impose an opinion, including by giving a choice that shapes the correct perception of the situation.

RT is just better. Simple as.

party management without needless extra steps, honestly
rtwp plays out just like turn-based in practice, but with forcing you to press space bar a lot for no good reason other than to pretend that the game is active.
>>
>>724952219
>better antagonist
I mean, I guess sewage is slightly better than literal shit but I don't think any of these 2 deserve a point here
>>
>>724951994
You can? Since when? I know that the mod that removes the cuckshit added the option, but I didn't know that it was in the base game
>>
>>724952107
Problem with rtwp is that is favours repetitive autocombat for a majority of your party members with maybe one or two "active" characters you personally control. The moment you need to constantly assign specific moves to your whole party every rounds, it becomes extremely cumbersome yet at the same time your party doing autocombat isn't particularly thrilling either.
