Modern day Bioware
>>731017525Too much cuckshit for that
>>731017525why do all of their games have a token black companion
>>731017525Is that a good or a bad thing?
>>731017525Not really. I don't think there's really a counterpart to Owlcat. Bioware was never adapting rulesest on a level Owlcat did, for example.
>>731017525>dark heresy to be fully voicedwhat a waste of money
>>731018729sadly everyone learned the wrong lessons from bg3
>>731017525>the absolute fucking state they decided to port Rogue Trader to Switch 2 inHow do you fuck up a port that bad?>muh underpowered tendie brickNo excuse when Cyberpunk could run on it
>>731017525Absolutely not. Bioware knew that going full RPG with spreadsheets and damage numbers was a fucking death knell. Not even DA:O went that in the weeds. Owlcat also fucking sucks at developing characters
>>731018503Good thing before, bad thing now.
>>731019229Potential RPG audience was a lot smaller back then. Owlcat games are, in all respects, niche games that appeal to a certain subset of RPG players. You are correct in saying it would've been suicide to release games like these back in the day.
>>731019285The RPG audience has grown, but not that much. People love BG3 in spite of the dice rolling, not because of it, same with Owlcat games
>>731019285They thrive in today's industry because autism rates are going up. It's great for business.
>>731017525>finally gives up on dogshit rtwp and embraces turn-BASEDmight play one of their games some day
>>731019464I mean, all their games can now be played in turn-based.
>>731017525What eve was Owlcat when they released Kingmaker? It seems far fetched for a no name team to just come out with something like that, bugs and all.
owlcat will never be relevant
>>731017525>owlcuck "games"
>>731019681They appeal to a certain group and are too much for everyone else.
>>731018729Played the alpha that didnt have voice acting at all and didnt see any problems with that. Wtf is wrong with illiterate normies. Ah the vast majority of americans cant read or write.
>>731019083no that is absolutely the correct lesson to learn from bg3 if you want your crpg to be a bigger hit, and why would it ever be a negative thing? rogue trader already had good voice acting
>>731018729So long as the protagonist isn't voiced beyond battle grunts it's okay
>>731020462He's convinced that adding full va is somehow going to gut the game even though the alpha was perfectly fine so far>b-b-but what about the late-game!Wouldn't be a first for owlcat then, and their previous games weren't fully voice acted
>>731017701
>>731020373Why don't you just go read a book instead?
>>731017757
>>731020570>companion getting cucked vs you getting cuckedI know which one is worse thank you very much
>>731020462except that BG3 was for non CRPG playersnormies and women will bounce off an actual crpg so fucking hard its not even funny. No amount of quality visuals and voice acting will change that
>>731020737buddy rogue trader was easier than bg3 what are you talking about
>>731018729Quite the opposite. Having full voice acting means they'll stop writing walls of text for irrelevant shit and keep dialogues concise.>b-b-but I want to read purple prose expanding upon the countenance of yonder peasant, toiling under the hot sun for his serfmaster akin to sapient cattle, his brows furrowed in quiet defeat, helpless to escape his fate of indentured servitude.Kill yourself
>>731020762he thinks that having one gorillion talents to choose per level up somehow makes the game complex
>>731017525No, Owlcat games are actually good.
Two things:Their games have an insane number of scripting bugs. Every single fucking time. Game-breaking scripting bugs. Half quests broken on release kind of shit. Absolutely fucking retarded.Second, the endings always suck absolute cock. The endings evidently written by someone who fucking hates you for finishing the game. These characters you like? Fuck you they died and your romance went turbogay, faggot. That kind of shit. Shit's retarded.
>>731020816>Having full voice acting means they'll stop writing walls of text for irrelevant shit and keep dialogues conciseSomeone didn't play the alpha, the dialogue is just as much as previous games
>>731017701>>731019842explain, im in the middle of Rogue trader and thats the own game ive played from them
>>731020570Only thing he did wrong was love the game too much
>>731020880No, I don't pay to be a QA employee.
>>731020931but you know what's better for the game?
>>731020931Which is why you pirate it, yes
>>731020905*only*
>>731020956Yes. You obviously don't, because you're a superfan retard who pays for access to an unfinished game. Therefore you are a biased shiteater, and I am an impartial observer.
>>731020852
>>731020905They have at least one cuck option per game, in RT it's Jae
Give me some fun Angel build ideas in WoTR.
Not really. Bioware actually made good games.
Can I get a QRD why cuckoldry is a mainstay for modern fantasy games?
The full VA concern is understandable considering how lesser devs handle tend to handle it
>>731021264Because western writers think it makes the game deep and mature.
>>731021264It's not. /v/ is just obsessed with shit like that so they post about it all the time. Like those gacha game players in China/Korea who threaten murder if they have any of the gacha girls talk to another male character.
>>731020854Sadly accurate. Even with improvements from KM to WotR and RT their game still need solid half a year after launch to be reasonably playable.
>>731021381This is in Avowed right?
>>731021264>high prevalence in coding:>political extremism>autism>physical weakness>grandmaster-level sexual deviance>programming socksYeah, I wonder why there's so much cuckoldry in their stories and games lmao
>>731021264It's the same type of autism that gave birth to Better Men, Bejita, Kisslessku and Keklin posting, there is no actual cuckoldry in the game it's just because the romance options aren't all virgins people cry 'I've been keked'.The closest you ever get top actual cucking in an owlcat game is when you do Arue's quest in chapter 4 while romancing her. And you're the BVLL in that situation.
>>731022408>there is no actual cuckoldry in the game it's just because the romance options aren't all virgins people cry 'I've been keked'Absolute cope>The closest you ever get top actual cucking in an owlcat game is when you do Arue's quest in chapter 4 while romancing her. And you're the BVLL in that situationAnd you don't even bring up Regongar and Octavia, opinion disregarded
>>731017525fag infested dei slop
>>731017525a lot of shit people lay down at owlcat's feet is basically just pathfinder being pathfinder
>>731022504>Regongar and OctaviaBecause there's no cucking involved. They either break up and you get with one of them or you fix their relationship and get with both of them.
>>731022621>pathfinderis present in RT too
>>731022632>ummm no, it's actually not cuckoldry is you dump someone for someone elseThen Dimalchio's quest isn't cuckoldry either because your romance isn't even mentioned
>>731022621Even the cuckery?
>>731017525>russian shell company on creteshant
>>731022690>closest you ever get to actual cucking<Kekfags can't even read.
>>731022798Regongar and Octavia still fit that better, yes
>>731017701Can any Owlcat game top this cuckKINO?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge_CeJQy7Uk
>>731022924You actually get cucked without your consent so yes.
>>731022690>Have no idea what the fuck anon is talking about so google 'Dimalchio'>It's that quest where Arueshalae apologises to someone she corrupted>Anon seems to think that was cuckoldingJesus. Some of you are so boiledbrain mindfucked.
>>731023107Read the reply chain >>731022408I've probably played the game more times than you, not only is your romance never brought up but Dimalchio isn't even jealous of you, he just considers you an slave of hers and barely pays you any thought (unless you play azata and mindbreak him even further by signing)
>>731023107>Have no idea>Share opinion anywayWhy post?
>>731022924giving me good advice on what NOT to do near the end of the game
>>731020713cuckshit is cuckshit you cuck
KEK KEK KEK KEK KEK KEK KEK
>>731023964>if someone else gets cucked, then you're a cuck
>>731023964only cuck shit/NTR that should ever be allowed in society is cuckqueening because women have more options and availability
>>731021091Who was that guy in X or fagsky or whatever saying they're proud because someone on RPG codex calls them 7 cucks in a room or something to that effect?
>>731024342That was Larian, and it was Lae'Zel's writer, which is funny because the actual cuck option ended up being ShadowheartLae'Zel was advertised as cuckshit during the EA but they backpedaled for the final game, while with Shadowheart they went all in on act 3
I don't know, they never promised interconnected games where your choices mattered and carried over, and then only released one game in that series like Bioware did with Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
>>731024479Lmao>BackpedaledSounds about right. Still had to sneak it in somewhere. You got the screen cap.
>>731017525>aren't you nostalgic for the good ol' days of isometric games?>here you go AND all the romance options are whores!Reddit the Studio is nowhere close to prime Bioware.
>>731017525A lot of people need to go back and replay Bioware games.
>>731024729
>>731023964im sure someone in your vicinity got cucked, that makes YOU a cuck according to your logic
>>731017525Bioware never made good games so that checks out. Interplay and Black Isle carried WRPGs back then.
>>731019619I really really really enjoy the kingmaker art and backgrounds. Peak call to adventure. I wish the entire game was actually 1 and the troll invasion too.
>>731025339are more portraits the first thing everyone mods in?
>>731017525They are now that they allow you to impregnate your romance options, just like Bioware did
>best girl and romance was the virgin
What are the downsides of having women be virgins in a fucking RPG where they are romantic interests anyways? I legitimately cannot wrap my head around someone being so averse to it other than ideological motivations.
>>731027896She was actually the revirgin
>>731028072fuck off, aruefag
>>731028057>>731021383
>>731017525>Owlcat>Anything close to old biowareThey can't design a game properly to save their lives.
>>731025779I don't even mod it in, I just import custom portraits from my images folder like I always have for decades in other CRPGs.
>>731028117No
>>731028216That's a non-answer. Might as well say because they like it.
>>731028290It's not though, they think that a grown woman being a virgin is unrealistic and that it panders to le hecking incels so it's a big no-no
>>731028353But it's a video game. It's meant to pander to the fantasy of the player. Ergo, it is their fantasy to deprive "incels" their fantasy.
>>731028353what kind of fucked up reality do we live in where it's delusional to expect your first partner not to have you as theirs?
>>731028641The current one
>>731028670i want to die
>>731028578took you this long to realize it huh
I believe it will be good.
>>731029818expanse will make or break owlcat
>>731017757Because they make games for woke IPs.Prepare for a female space marine in their next game.
>>731030000The amount of asshurt from terminally online secondaries would be hilarious. I hope they do.
>>731030071>fuck up my lore to own le secondary chuds
>>731029818I'm not playing if I'm forced to work with belter trash.
>>731028226I'm sure that Expanse game will prove they're the modern day Bioware
>>731018729>>731019083Sawyer was right.
>>731030178Sawyer lost
>>731029818i want it to be good, the setting looks interesting
>>731025779I just made my own with AI.
>>731030293And all of us will pay the price for it.
>>731030326IIRC they said the game will be mostly concurrent with seasons 1 and 2 of the show, so basically all of book one.
>>731020529Can't wait for them to give you only the Yes, Question, No (Yes) and "Sarcastic" Yes options in dialogue.
>>731030726so is the game going to react the events of the book or are they separate events happening concurrently?
>>731030962The latter, (You) are some random Pinkwater mercenary not James Holden and your ship is one of those fancy stealth frigates not the Rocinante. We know it starts before the 1st half of book one at the latest because characters talk about going to Eros for a vacation.
