Pillars of Eternity. Pathfinder did one thing better (turn based combat), but it got added to Pillars.
>>
>>729701085
Did they release the update for turn based for PoE1 yet?
>>
>>729699902
you forgot the expeditions series
>>
>>729701263
Yes, and you just need to own the game on Steam. You enable it in the Library by going Properties -> Betas. It's fully functional.
>>
>>729699902
>Age of Decadence
>Shadowrun
I can't stand the new RPG trend of not allowing the player to free travel and shuttling them between conversation and combat immediately
>Pillars of Eternity
Some of the most slopped writing ever made

We are not back. It is so over.
>>
>>729700817
Pillars is boring, Pathfinder is a lot more interesting gameplay wise.
Both very flawed games though.
>>
>>729699902
This is like a monument to being a boring retard

I wish there was a modern equivalent to the old Gold Box AD&D video games
>>
>>729701314
Nice, I was waiting for this to replay the game.
>>
>>729701638
They really thought of everything with the turn based mode. You think it would be slow, but they have a game speed setting that's always visible.
Turn based makes every RPG more playable because you can skip turn and then send your tank in, and the fight actually happens the way you want. I hate real time with pause.

There is like 9 modern goldbox clones, maybe more. However, these threads are spammed by the most putrid humans imaginable so you won't see them discussed, and I will not discuss them as there needs to be 99.9999% less rpg threads in the catalogue.
>>
>>729700817
Pathfinder is a much funner game all throughout, it has a much stronger hook right from the get-go, making a competent build might look intimidating at first but it is nowhere near as difficult as the autists on this board will lead you to believe.
PoE is a dull read from beginning till the very last 15% of the game where it finally starts to fit together, its only redeeming feature is it having the best rtwp combat system ever made, the turn based mode completely mangles it though so I wouldn't recommend using it.
>>
>>729701886
>Pathfinder is a much funner game all throughout
I would rather eat a five gallon bucket of nails than replay an owlcat game, these are truly the most braindead boring pieces of shit games ever made. Pillars is also vile but at least has decent encounter design.

You cannot play turn based on in either though, neither series is designed for it and it's essentially journalist mode. May as well watch a youtube playthrough at that point.
>>
>>729701763
nah, you're full of shit anon. closest would be Low Magic Age, and that really doesn't really come close all that much at all.
>>
>>729702161
>nah, you're full of shit anon
Anon, there are literally at least 9, with level editors and everything. That far exceed gold box in quality.
>low magic age
That's a chink scam, do not ever post again
>>
>>729702252
bad bait
>>
>>729701614
a gold box-style game would be too niche for modern gamers. why you don't see them made.
>>
>>729702293
If you want to be spoonfed so badly permanently ban the 40 permanent low quality rpg generals on the board, and after 10 years of /v/ being usable again maybe I'll consider spoonfeeding baby what it should have played instead of just following ecelebs and codex. But if I see a single bethesda or bioware or owlcat or square enix general I shan't ever be talking about this genre again.
>>
No one is asking to be spoonfed, retard. It doesn't exist as a modern game. That's why they were wishing for it.
Only post I'll bother even responding with.
>>
bad bait
>>
>>729701384
I find Pillars' world more interesting, but yeah the gameplay is so dull. I prefer PF's over it.
I know they got turn-based coming in, but that's not going to fix the base issues with the mechanics of the game.

You are such an unbelievably retarded and grating newfaggot its unreal. There are numerous exponentially superior spiritual successors to this games, even one of which got popular with normalfags and revived the entire dungeon crawling genre singlehandedly. And you have no idea what it is.

Years of these shitty generals have produced nothing of value. This is why /v/ is dying. You people bring no value whatsoever to the table.

he's trying so hard for bites, it's almost cute

Recommend me a good CRPG that is NOT Vancian. I fucking hate that shit.

He's actually right, I got it when he mentioned dungeon crawlers. I'm a bit shocked you can't figure it out.

Are you retarded?
https://goldbox.fandom.com/wiki/Eye_of_the_Beholder
And there's way better successors of FUA games too. You're just wrong. Go back to codex and stop shitting up the board.

That's certainly a position you could take. A retarded one, but one you can take.
It was just explained to you what CRPG fans refer to these as.
>>

Why are you doubling down after getting proven dead wrong? Go back, cringe faggot.
>>
>>729699902
Just wish more were couch co-op. I think BG3, DOS, DOS2 are the only ones on that list, and because of that, they're the only ones I've played on the list.
>>
>>729699902
85% of the games on that list are trannyslop.
>Pillars of Equality
>Pillars of Equality II: Queerfire
LMAFAO.
>>
>>729703347
you know what? here, I'll help you.
"gold box" when people are referring to that style of rpg is specifically talking about stuff like the first Pools of Radiance style of video games.
it plays completely different to the Eye of the Beholder games, which as you must've recently learned ALSO has a gold physical box.
simply saying "gold box" in this case would've referred to two completely different styles of gameplay. which is why people have always referred to the first as "gold box" and the latter as "eye of the beholder".
now you know
>>
>>729703546
>"gold box" when people are referring to that style of rpg
No, gold box is referring a series of SSI releases which are in a gold box.
>the first Pools of Radiance style of video games.
You mean the FUA games.

No point in samefagging to save face.
>>
>>729703458

Jesus Christ anon.
I'll leave you alone since you're obviously young. But it'd be a good idea in the future if you didn't act weirdly so smug just to come off completely wrong.

Leave him alone. He's obviously the type on /v/ that'll rage for dozens of posts on end. No point wasting time on that nonsense.
>>
>>729703546
>um yeah, its also in a gold box and part of the gold box series, but erm its not what my gay little insular clique calls it
This is an unbelievably terrible post, it has to be bait. Does /crpgg/ need to be deleted? I don't even know where you go from here.
>>
There has never been a good rpg thread on /v/.
>>
low magic age was actually kind of fun, until they discarded their additional adventure mode and started to change it to whatever the hell it's becoming now
>>
absolutely not
>>
>>729700372
What's wrong with those? Other than DOS1, they're all pretty damned good.
>>
>>729700817
Pathfinder for combat gameplay
Pillars of Eternity for lore/setting/writing
>>
Imagine having the audacity to complain about any larian game when you have garbage like KOTOR in your library, I bet you'd slurp shit straight out of a niggers asshole
>>
>>729703932
nah, KotOR is fine. it's fine as a beginner's crpg.
and before that tourist that was in here earlier whines about that, it was a crpg-style game designed to bring in console players. it worked.
>>

Hmm. I might give it a shot anyway even if it's apparently kind of bland. I need something to pass the next month or so.
Shame it's apparently not great.
>>
>>729700817
Pathfinder, PoE was a snoozepill
>>
>Gold Box
Gold Box was more a stepping stone, and other games built up on it. Avernum/Exile and the Spiderweb Software stuff, while isn't really the same, kind of might scratch the itch.
>>
>>729699902
If you absolutely must open from Steam, you can just add non-Steam crpgs from GOG on there
>>
>>729704081
>it was a crpg-style game designed to bring in console players
How is this a positive, why do rpg threads always lead to this? Its like the polar opposite of gatekeeping as a genre, no other genre is this retarded

no thanks bro

oh I had this on my wishlist. it's not good?

>>729705049
while I personally have more fond memories of Baldur's Gate 1 and Fallout 1, I'd probably point someone towards Pathfinder or Baldur's Gate 3 if they're new to crpgs and prefer fantasy, or Warhammer 4k Rogue Trader if they prefer "sci fi" (wouldn't really call wh4k sci fi, it's basically grimdark space fantasy, but would be closer if you liked sci fi)
apologies if I misunderstood your post and you've already played crpgs before
>>
>>729705049
wotr and rt are really good imo
>>
>>729705049
Your cousin is based
>>
>>729705373
it's alright, if you've played Atom then it's essentially that but in a fantasy setting with way less charm. The combat is still the weakest part of the game, but it's even more of a slog this time, no options to speed up enemies' turn is pretty crazy for a 2025 game
