Name a crpg developer with worse romance options than Owlcatyou can't
>>736966728>romance optionsThat's the problem. There shouldn't be "romance" in games, it's so gay and pointless.
>>736966728I will never understand why that's a priority to people. I spent hundreds of hours on crpgs growing up and never gave a shit.
>>736966728What's so bad about Camellia?
>>736966728buy an ad unknown developer
>>736966728Pic unrelated >Kibellah>Cassia>Heinrix
>>736966908There isn't a single thing good about her
>>736966908Besides the cuckoldry?
>>736966728Your life
Rogue Trader sucks because you can't date the cutest character in the game
>>736966908SHE IS A FUCKING HELF
>>736966898It was fun and fresh in BG2 but since then, with it's codification as a requirement for RPGs it's just become dreary box ticking and waifuism
>>736966728Anon, I really hope you're a paid Russian intelligence shitposter, and you haven't just been autistically posting about a game developer 'cucking' you since 2018 because of some undiagnosed mental illness.
>>736967134>cuckoldry out of nowhere
>>736966872>>736966898Zoomid. Fucking is an integral part of life (for a whole host of reasons), any game where you are to inhabit a character should axiomatically include fucking.
>>736966728Obsidian
>>736966728why are you playing a crpg for the romance though?
>>736967235yeah pillars 2 had a gay furry encounter in the first 5 minutes, thanks homosexuals
>>736966728I had a threesome with the exotic twin sisters, impregnated the succubus at least twice and deflowered the pure mutant fish Sounds like a skill issue on your part
>>736966728It has good options OP, a wide array of terrible and fucked up people.Kingmaker is all about a bunch of losers and outcasts making their own kingdom with blackjack and hookers, which is why remaining virginal is required for the true ending. You shouldn't want to fuck any of these people.WotR, in the meantime, is about a bunch of evil shits being thrown at more evil shit with the hope there will be less evil shit by the end of it. Best you can do in this scenario is a prissy gay black man. So why not aim for the worst instead, and date Cam?Rogue Trader as well gives you an array of degenerates and dysgenics interspersed among autistic uptights. In a universe of extremes, there is no hope of a balanced relationship with an equal.Regardless, Owlcat companions are deeply flawed people who are ultimately pretty fun in narrative sense, even if it's because they're a specific kind of retarded or evil. Overall, they're blatantly making fun of the concept of having a romance option in such a game at all, and making fun of you for falling for it. Wanting 'romance options' in an RPG is a general sign of low cultural literacy, and Persona 4 and its consequences have been a disaster to the medium. Go play Rance or a BL visual novel or something if that's what you want. Do NOT go replay mass effect for the 4th time, because it doesn't even do what you want very well at all. You are just simultaneously oversocialized, leading you to believe this kind of thing is required, and also starved for genuine human interaction. But I don't blame you, because there are many like you, and you are being used by a political agenda.
>>736967104I remember chatting up aerie but otherwise being more engaged in the adventure.>>736967206I'm far older than you. Get your romance from real life or books or shows or something. Games will never be good at it, especially now that everyone is player sexual.
>>736966728>Kibellah>CassiaNah>>736966908there are literal demons more sympathetic than that insane piece of shit
>>736966728Owlcat have the incel version of the dragon age fandom
>>736966728Octavia is hot though.
>>736967353WotR only has four evil companions, one of them might as well not count and the other is perfectly reasonable
>>736967104Feature bloat, but it seems like they hire more people for the horrible e-dating scenarios than the actual game at this point and they're still fever dream nonsense. Here's a question, why aren't gays normal
>>736967454You know what I mean. They're dregs, in a different sense than Kingmaker companions. Kingmaker companions do not belong into society for one reason or another, while Wrath of the Righteous companions are people society would be better without. Expendable. Sewer mutants, street thieves, corrupt nobles.
>>736967509romance barely tales 1% of the game
>>736966728the only bad romance options in rt are the two xenos
>>736967575Sounds like you're trying to bring everyone down to the level of your waifu
>>736967360>Get your romance from real life or books or shows or something. >Get your romance from media, not media, media will never be good at itYou might have just won the dumbest post of the day award anon.
>>736967579Are you sure? It's like HR for women and gays, especially the mocappers and animators. Basically just positions created in gaming so industry flunkies from streaming/wrtiting can get jobs. Hell the director of obsidian's games is an interracial romance writer married to a stinky pajeet
Old BioWare at least made romances cute and appealing.NuBioWare made romances ugly.OwlCat is just cuck romances.
>>736966728>Arue openly admits to being a voyeur because she diesn't understand how humans can have mutually benefecial relationshipsHer past was obvious but I didn't realize she was putting herself in the cuck chair when other people were entirely unaware.Daeran is honestly pretty cool if you're playing a female KC.
>>736967734bro, have you ever played an Owlcat game? romance is barely there, most of the companion content is on their questline which is mostly the same regardless of romance
Owl cat just sucks period. I can’t be bothered to play out any of their games.>entire party dies to a level 1 crowd of small spiders because the only thing that can hit them is aoe spells and I have no magic casters
Does anyone here honestly like the Pillars 2 romances?Not even in comparison to Owlcat games.
>>736967870>being an unintentional voyeur means being a cuckYour brain has been rotted by porn
If you enjoy video game romances you should stop blaming trannies and other retarded stuff because you are the tranny in this situation
>>736967235I liked the groomer druid
>>736967206Let me casually fuck random milkmaids in a barn and monica lewinsky sycophant types rather than trying to write dating sim shit with party members
>>736967948>unintentionalShe openly admits she actively goes looking to watch how mortals sleep together and both get off. Even if shes being shameful about it. Your options are >give people privacyAnd>just don't get caught
>>736967575Is the whole point of Camellia that not every one of your party members is actually capable of redemption? Shes a rejection of the main theme of the game alongside fucking Staunton?
>>736967897>Complaining about a problem that affects one encounter in their first game almost a decade ago that was patched almost immediatelyYou don't want to play their games, no dramas. You could have just said that instead of shitposting about a nonexistent issue you saw on 4chan.
>>736968028Unintentional because it's not fetishistic, she's not getting off to it, and it's still not cuckoldry which was my point. There's one girl in this game that's okay with you fucking someone else and it ain't her
>>736968092Tbh those things still fucked me up in 2025 cause the bombs I had weren't enough to kill all the swarms.
>>736966728Obshittian/thread
>>736966728Sorry I can't hear you over the sound of my fishwife moaning while we fuck like animals
>>736967896Okay? Have you looked at something like BG3 which is supposed to set new standards and how much time they wasted trying to create a stinky EDM festival tent cuckhold sim over writing a plot? Or how much of the story and characters was verbatim thinly veiled projection by the queer/female writing staff.
>>736968090No, that's something her fans made up to make her sound more deep than she actually is. The game isn't even about redemption, there are just element of it that you can firmly reject.
>>736968090If you're playing Angel, I suppose.Aeon can fix both of them, but in Cam's case it's probably wrong to do so.Apotheosis is the only ending where is more or less truly redeemed - all her insanity was in service of becoming a goddess of insanity.
>>736967870Daeran is cool even as a male KC
>>736968152She's not getting off to anything, lets not pretend that a fucking succubus doesn't know what sex is or that watching it is a kink or that denial and chastity play are also kinks. >watch this random girl get fucked lovingly and sit there thinking about how its not you because you don't deserve it and you aren't allowed to get offLets not pretend a succubus doesn't understand that even if its self-imposed rules and shes hiding behind a thin veneer of scientific curiosity.
a warhammer game doesn't even need romances. such a fucking gay gimmick.
>>736967937
>>736968276I'm not letting him give me dozens of rose bushes when I play a male character.
>>736968296Projecting your fetishes a little bit too much, as always. She's well aware what sex is, demonic sex, watching people do it is unironically just curiosity to try and understand how mortals work
>>736968323Listen we need 10 gay dudes and femcels to ruin the entire game talking about their daddy issues and that's not negotiable, now throw together a game so we can sell our fanfiction
>>736968362I thought it was cute and the straight man shutdown didn't feel too mean
>>736968362Coward
>>736968213>has children with another navigator but not with you
>>736967896and that's a good thing, rpgs should be about adventure and romance (not the gay physical kind)
>>736968323>warhammer is not allowed to have anything but grimdark redshirt armies constantly failing to progress the setting in any way. Main reason I'm not into that franchise.
>>736966872I intentionally reject romantic advancements.
why is there always a cuck fantasizing about his cuckoldry fetish in every crpg thread?
>>736968440Not if you get the best romance ending. She still won't have kids with you, I don't think it's even possible really, but she won't marry and have kids wiht another navigator out of obligation, she stays unmarried and continues her affair with you for the rest of her life.
>>736968498She very much can have children with you, she just doesn't, but will with another navigator, literally Valerie 2
>>736968498i dont think that's allowed in warhammer, if you're a navigator you MUST continue the bloodline as navigators are mandatory for going through the warp. "romance" has no fucking place in a navigator's life, they're destined to be livestock
>>736968553That's nowhere close to Valerie anon
>>736968492CRPGs are a high IQ genre and NTR is a high IQ fetish. It's like peanut butter and jam. They go hand in hand.
>>736968579If you actually played the game you would know why this doesn't apply
>the first primary tank in the game is a sassy black paladin woman whose defining character feature is being comedically incompetent and overly defensive of her hood rat friends>the second primary tank is a sociopathic serial killer who lies with every breath (but it's ok because she's hot and likes the feeling of a man inside her)You know we're not breaking the jackpot with Valerie either, but still, can I just get Hellknight Valerie instead?
>>736968579That's why you need to get the absolute best ending, otherwise she'll still continue her affair with you but will marry and have kids. She's the head of her house also, so even though it's probably very controversial she can refuse to procreate.
When's the next RT DLC meant to be dropping?
>>736968484Good because they're literally trying to get you to be gay and engage in their projected fantasies into a male hobby. Bg3 and pillars 2 was "mask off" with both games featuring "romance bugs" that made you gay if you talked to a male companion
>>736966728if there is no fappable material the romance is pointlessI play H-games for romance
>>736968724On the topic of fappable material I played through the first witcher for the first time recently and I really appreciate all the bushes.
>>736966872fpbp
>>736966728I'm struggling, though Obsidian is pretty bad. Sawyer, who I respect, is a spiteful cunt when it comes to writing any sort of heterosexual relationship.
wake up babe, new daily spambot just dropped
>>736968765Surprising considering how much of the modern cosmetic industry and plastic surgery have been invented by the gigasluts known as sorceresses.
>>736968638it's funny how there's an objectively correct romance option in every gameKalikke in KingmakerArueshelae in WOTRCassia in RT
>>736967206Taking a shit is also an integral part of life, but I don't see anyone clamoring to include it in games.
>>736967353>Owlcat has good romance options>They're fucked up and laughing at you>You shouldn't even WANT options, you oversocialized spergNah fuck you and your retarded argument.
>>736966728Larian and Obsidian easily.Obsidian either doesn't have or has some fucking horrendous options that make staying a virgin unironically appealing.Larian's game are full of literal manwhores and sluts who fuck you 5 minutes after meeting. There's no romance or courtship, it's a literal meet and fuck that cheapens any emotional payoff.BG2 and Dragon Age Origins is still the king when it comes to romance in CRPGs.
>>736968941they should, preferably by a sexy girl
>>736968654Round about June iirc.
>>736968968>Larian's game are full of literal manwhores and sluts who fuck you 5 minutes after meetingfunnily enough, the one companion that doesn't jump on your dick immediately turns out to be the biggest turbowhore in the game, but this fact isn't revealed to you until the final act of the game.
>>736966872You’re gay and pointless
>>736969160It should be obvious that Karlach would be horny after a 10 year dry spell
>>736969242he's talking about Shadowheart
>>736969160who, karlach? i thought every "romance" in bg3 sucked ass although minthara was pretty alright since her being an evil drow matriarch fit with her being a whore
>>736968950As a critique of the concept and a future reference point, they're a productive addition to the medium, pushing the discourse forward in some way, shape, or form. This alone is more than can be said about anything Bioware has done past DAO.
>>736968884>KalikkeAnd Kanerah
>>736969335it's funny that you posted Yrliet since everything she says is a lie and she's secretly masturbating at the thought of "monkeighs" ravaging her body
>>736967206> Fucking is an integral part of life why are you looking for it in a fucking CRPG then, go fuck yourself IRL first and then go play the game instead of bitching about romances
>>736969404keep telling yourself that lmao
go back to your general
>N-NOOOOOO YOU CAN"T TALK ABOUT VIDEO JAMES IN THE VIDEOGEMS BOARD!!(&!&#(!

>>736969956*removes the ability to play paladin from your cuck game because killing evil gay transhumans is problematic*
>>736969948Its too bad I knew fuck all about mindflayers and githyanki when I tried this shit and it expected me to think I was going to zombify in 24 hours to establish any kind of stakes when there was a clear transformation pod on the ship with a fucking activation code and I wasn't in one. At least I managed to sneak around half of act 1 with no companions before I met the only tolerable one (Karlach)
>>736970545schizo reply
>>736970545What game doesn't let you play paladin, its gotta be the most common fantasy class in rpgs.
>>736970584The best part is it's entirely fanfiction so even people that know the lore don't know what BG3 is. I'm pretty sure the entire plot was originally you getting catphished/coached by a homosexual mindflayer who sticks estrogen patches on you to power you up but they realized that's too on the nose so they made up constructs powered by telepathic tapeworms for act 3
>>736967353>Go play Rance You're saying that as if Rance doesn't have superior writing, setting, plot and characters.
>>736967937>no YdwinNo
>>736971069remember when they went through all the female art in the game and tried to make them uglier just before release
>>736966728Games shouldn't have romance options, the only people that want them are the lowest dregs of humanity that shouldn't even have human riggts.
>>736966872It's a set side quests and a hidden progress bar. It's not even about being "gross wish fulfillment" or whatever, its just stilted unnatural trash that's tacked on because it's an expectation even if romantic involvement is extremely out of character. I have always hated it.
>>736966728If romance is important to you, why play RPGs and not dating sims/visual novels?
anti-romancefags seething itt lmao sorry but romanceGODS won
>>736971189>blank group should have no outlets whatsoever because I am personally disgusted by them>what the fuck why are they acting outGamers rise up.
>>736971324I want games where romance is part of the story, not complete separation of sex from plot. Nu-media is gay as fuck when it removes all normal romance whatsoever. Knight saves princess for romantic reward. Who gives a fuck if its problematic as long as its heroic.
>>736971809ThisWhat's the point of being a hero when you don't have a wife and kids to come back to
>>736969956being a hero isn't an integral part of life
>>736971809Not really much of a romance but I remember appreciating that Jump King delivered on the promise of a hot babe at the top without pulling a subversion
>>736971365>romanceGODS wonif you won, why are you always complaining?
>>736972502I'm not, only retards here do because they like complaining about anything
>>736966950Unironically these games never let you go far enough on that end, why can't I ask to watch Camilla get destroyed by a couple of black guys if I want? They want to simultaneously give you slutty used goods while not letting you watch the slut part, I get that it's not a porn game but they could just slip some casualdialogue in referencing it
>>736972983That's why BG3 is the best crpg, you want Shadowheart to fuck Halsin? She can do it, no one compares to Larian
>>736966728If you can't handle the writing why don't you just pretend like that one fucking comic faggot who has made endless garbage about him and Yrilet not acting like Yrilet in the slightest?>Wahhh but my ending slide isn't a perfect ending of romance and love in fucking 40kI hate you people on a level I could never express with words
>>736966728Twins were good, Nyrissa was interesting, Queen was okay, Cassia and Kibbles were GOATed. Dunno what your issue is.
>>736966908Chaotic evil is such an awful alignment for a human-adjacent character. A lawful or even neutral evil character with grand ambitions is 100x more compelling than a crazy bitch who kills just because it makes her cum hard
>>736973191>queenno thank you
>>7369667283some twins and salad are niceGalfrey was pretty cuteCassia is pure waifu bait
>>736966908Savior bait. It honestly worked too well.
>>736973234>a crazy bitch who kills just because it makes her cum hard
>>736973121Thanks, I hate you too
>>736973440what was the bait exactly? her nonstop murders and you allowing her to do it? her murder of slaves behind your back? finding out that her spirit's desires are actually hers? finding out that she wants to murder her father and not really hesitating when killing his clone?
>play wrath of the righteous because /v/ keeps jerking it off as the greatest crpg ever>get the corniest writing I've ever seen
>>736966728Twins: threesome'dSucc: impregnatedFish: deflowered Owlcat has never done me wrong, I'll eagerly wait for Regina
>>736966728They also like to actively waste character slots on characters very obviously no one gives a shit and no one puts on their team giving the choice, instead of using that dev time on literally anything else.
>>736966728I don't think it's even BAD romances. Owlcat is intentionally blue balling players.
>>736974968never seen anyone praising the writing beyond the waifufags slurping up everything about their oneitis
>>736974968I find a majority of the writing to be fine with the corny shit standing out noticably. I do like both the writing and gameplay more than baldurs gate 3 but thats not exactly a high bar.
>>736975217Lets see>the orc and the slut>gay priest, reddit dwarf and the black paladin maybe>jae and the secret companionsThats my list, you could add the undead elf and doomer dwarf for kingmaker too, put that was more my personal problem of not figuring out how to build them
>>736975350Jaethal and Harim are good. Octavia and Regongar are the only low tier kingmaker companions
>>736975534Valerie is worse than both of them
the older I get, the more I agree with JSawyer that romances with the player in RPGs are a mistake>>736974968Owlcat is Russian therefore trad and zased, you lost tranny
>>736973440Savior bait worked good for Wenduag's thing at least. It was fun playing an evil guy that lightened up over the campaign alongside her doing the same
>>736966728Obsidian and Bethesda
>>736975605her breakdown after getting scarred was fun
I love Owlcat because I hate RPG romance schlock and all of the faggots that love itI genuinely couldn't care any less about CRPG romances.>>736967206Use your imagination, retard. Make the romance inferred. We don't need devs wasting months of dev time to help you masturbate.
>>736975772>just completely headcanon an entire shipping tier subplot that the game will directly contradictPeople do this whether an actual romance is written or not. But its no reason not to implement it if both people and devs want it in. Yes there are still examples of games both with or without romance as an option.You could play the outer worlds or crimson desert or something if you hate expressions of affection so much. I can play pathfinder or dragon age origins or dragons dogma or fable.
>>736975605>>736975605Valerie is the funniest Owlcat companion. She has 8 int, and the game constantly makes fun of her for being, at her best, the exact thing she is trying to not be perceived as.
>>736975772>I love Owlcat because I hate RPG romanceOwlcat likes romances and they know it's popular so that's a bit odd
Larian obviously
>>736966728I actually like most of them90% of cuckposting is headcanon, out of context, or bad faithI'll admit Jae and Octavia are a bit daring and deserve the shitposting, though I will make the case that Octavia is well written and her situation makes sense (while still being degenerate)Mind you, while they are mostly fine they could be much better, Owlcat definetly has bad habits when it comes to the companion roster.
>>736968853>regardless of how Neeshka's author felt about her place in the storymaybe don't fucking write multiple instances of Neeshka getting jeaous over you paying attention to other women in the party then, CUNT
>>736977407>headcanon, out of context, or bad faithI know who your waifu is, sorry, but you're a cuck
>>736977407As much as I'm against non-virgin romance, I think the core concepts of a lot of these characters are well formed. I just personally wouldn't follow through with a romance with any of them myself, thats why its up to fictional characters to do it.
>>736975772Appropriate you used Bret there since he's a bitter self mark retard that almost nobody agrees with aside from his takes on HHH sucking omega dick
>Yrlietfag STILL seething he can't fuck the eldarShe's only good for target practice anyway, treacherous xeno whore
>>736966728Pillars of Eternity 2 exists
>>736974968I think a lot of that just comes from the pathfinder setting, because I remember being irked by that in those games too but had no such problems with rogue trader. Still, wotr has some kino stuff too.
>>736975534Octavia is pretty fun outside of her relationship with the orc imo. Her banter with most party members is pretty good, Harrim especially.
>>736977407Jae has a weirdly sweet romance considering one of the first things she does is playing poker in the nude while high
>>736966872This, "romance" in games is always time wasting garbage only retarded porn addicts can enjoy
>>736967183>out of nowhere>>736966950>>736967804>>736967870>>736968628
>romance is a core component in cRPGs and not just some tacked-on fluff akin to a sidequestI see Bioware's influence is still alive and well.
>>736978984>nude pokershe had an orgy
Behold the best written companion for a cRPG for the last 20 years. A random bumfuck racist farmer that travels with you as a tank having a crisis of faith because his god started a rebellion and got btfo'd. Even his own companion-related quests don't do him justice, in BOTH games.
>>736979420He's based
>>736979420He's based, a canon womaniser, a playful racist and the most useful companion. What's not to love?
>>736974968Play Pillars of Eternity if you want good prose for a semi-recent cRPG. Every other cRPG writes prose like a cheap YA novel. Although, it does get very purple-y at times, that's more forgivable than having curt or bland writing.
>>736979420He's Alistair in DAO if he was written better.
>>736966728I love my twin-wives though.
>>736966872If you want a game that explores the human condition and relations, to just pretend love and romance just don't exist is to give a painfully limited and usually incorrect out look on things, people can and will fall in love with each other and have feelings and shit and have all sort of complicated situations or feelings as a result of that, it's just if you treat it as something to put a check mark on rather than something that is actually apart of the story and has meaning to the overall message to the game it comes off as cheap, boring, even detrimental to a character, which is probably why you feel the way you do cause you've been burned by shit writing.And RT kinda has both Romances that do feel like they are actually trying to communicate something and others that feel like they're just like there for arbitrary reasons.they also have a romance that should exist but doesn't for arbitrary reasons
>>736979280She didn’t Cassia would have actually cooked their brains if there had been more going on than some nudity
>>736979581be careful about praising pillars because for some reason it attracts a certain anon who will spam the thread to shit shitting on it
>>736979420Is PoE worth playing?
Octavia is 11/10. People just dislike how she already had a relationship with her childhood friend orc-stepbrother when you found her.
>>736980092Yes. It's just had a new turn based mode added as well if you prefer that
>>736980150If you didn't romance them as a pair you didn't beat the game
>>736980150>people dislike how she's cuckbaitYes
>>736979420I love Eder.
>>736980092Did you like playing the Infinity Engine games? Pillars is meant to be a collection of fan suggestions in forums for more than a decade about those games all collected into one franchise.
the options are all pretty awesome when it comes to what they go for there's just 0 conventional romances that are played totally straight. More fun to engage with in a game than say bg3 but not so much so when you want to talk waifushit with the boys on the basket weaving forum
>>736966728your fault for picking the worst options than
>>736980364>there's just 0 conventional romances that are played totally straightYes there are
>>736980372
>>736966728Fucking Marvelous LET ME ROMANCE THE DRAGON YOU FUCKIGN COWARDS
>>736979420Him, that midget druid and the fish orc bard with Durance were a good duo to travel with
>>736980472>Dragon only alive female dragon is a red dragon single mother with tons of children. /v/ would call it cuckbait too
>>736980092No, the writing is like watching pain dry and the gameplay is dull and tedious.
>>736980496That was usually my party too along with either Aloth, the monk or robot from the DLC. Deadfire's companions were just not as good sadly and it's telling that the best companions were the returning ones from the first game.
>>736980496Durance has the best companion quest in the game but they way how they designed it was the worst. You basically have to convince a priest that his own god wanted to kill him but how Obsidian did it was to exhaust SPECIFIC dialogues checks by conversing with him that are not only dispersed throughout the main questine but he refuses to speak to you after a few lines so you have to rest again (which is bugged for some inns to not progress because he and Grieving Mother conflict with progressing their quest through resting).
>>736966908Nothing, bitches can't handle her because she's helpful.
>>736980754The helpful joke is more ran through than Camellia herself
>>736980653Just so the other anon knows, what you posted are backer characters meant to populate areas. The game literally advises you not to interact with them. The same goes with the gravestones.
>>736977407what the fuck is regill's problem anyway
>>736966728your problem is that you keep playing western CRPGs when you really want to be playing japanese dating sims
>>736966908Plenty
>>736968090the main theme of the game is how you cope with becoming an unpaid janitor, everything else is secondary
At some point in my early 20's I realize romance in games is fucking stupid and I actively avoid it.If anything Owlcat is based for having bad romance. I'm still not going to play their games for other reasons but I will applaud them for not investing.
>>736980194The goats are right there for the superior two for the price of one deal.
>>736966728>Romance is bad>Stories are endlessly meandering>Gameplay is obnoxious stat-padded bullshitIs Owlcat good at anything?
>>736981614Every time you post this you get btfo, this has been going on for 2 years nowWhen will you get tired? Everyone who ACTUALLY played the game knows the context for this line. If you wanted to shit on the romance in good faith you would use the ending.
>>736969948>make dream guardian male so it's not a tranny catfish>dreams become obviously gay-codedthe only winning move is not to play
>>736980372She needs to lay dragon eggs
>>736979581>Pillars of Eternity if you want good proselolLMFAO eveni'll take Owlcat's slightly juvenile but refreshingly forward writing over Pillars wordslop proper noun soup.
>>736980203But I'm better for her.
>>736981832A steak is better than fried fish but after eating it 3 times in a row I'd take some of that fish.
>>736981882>knows the context for this lineWhat does Cam like to do after killing?>If you wanted to shit on the romance in good faith you would use the endingLike the one where she starts fucking other men if you sacrifice yourself, being the only romance to do so? Yeah I know
>>736981849>>Romance is badno rpgs other than old Bioware ever did good romances so that's not really a knock against the games>>Stories are endlessly meanderingfiltered>>Gameplay is obnoxious stat-padded bullshitGIGAfiltered
>>736976023Kingmaker's party of adventurers are honestly great. Individually and the dynamics between them.
>>736982010>What does Cam like to do after killing?I don't know anon, the first time she explores caves and sleeps in a tent, the second time she helps you hunt gargoylesStatistically, it depends.And Herrax is clearly trying to piss her off there so if she did anything beyond killing she would obviously mention itThough you will ignore these arguments as you have done every single time you got btfo in the past>Yeah I knowThen why do you use your headcanon intead of the in game canon? Just use the ending, you will look less retarded
>>736966985Pascal...
>>736966728>romanceLONDON
>>736980092yes and no
>>736982381I don't think this is how the meme is used anon
>>736966985Cassia is basically the default romance thoughever?
>>736966985I should have fixed her...
>>736982010Cam swears that she didn't have sex with anyone else and I believe her, she would never lie to me.
>>736982531You kinda can but she fucking dies a millisecond afterwards, only survives if you are evil.
>>736982531You'll never unknot her
>can turn lower deck into unwilling followers of Nurgle>can't do this to any other part of the shipI want my main deck on my ship to be tzeentch or slaanesh themed, the heretical aligned changes are so ugly because it's all just generic spikes and cages compared to Iconoclast (blue explorer themed) and dogmatic (red church themed) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zse5v0glUDM
Yrliet never betrays you btw unless you're a dipshit.
>>736982782Stop making me lust after demon ass
>>736982815Yrliet literally always betrays you>b-b-b-b-but it wasn't a b-b-betrayal she just got tricked!Lmao yeah sure, tricked by deldar, telling her to go to point A and taking you there without telling you who told her to, the most obvious trap ever
>>736983164She also gets captured and raped unless you help her. She's guilty of being a retard, not of being a betrayer.
>>736982495Least you could do is post good fanart of her, not Raszard's
>>736983253>good fanartdoesnt exist or if it does i have no idea where to find it
>>736983140Feeling lust towards the sex demons is only natural, guardsman I really wish we got a daemonette companion for the heretic path
>>736983307I literally just posted one
>>736983319I wish owlcat was more brave with companions, rogue trader and wotr really could've benefited from more "exclusive" companions. RT already has an extremely bloated companion roster that honestly should've been trimmed depending on which alignment you play. Would've helped to make each path feel more unique since they wouldn't have to account for 12 different companions in every scenario.WOTR was especially retarded in that sense in which you could go for a literal demon or lich path and still have holy paladins or hellknights working with you.
all wrpg "romances" are shit because devs aren't actually interested in creating appealing heroines and are just making checkboxes for mentally ill california gaymers and retards who don't know better because they refuse to play anime games. even if they did want to they couldn't because they are ideologically limited by woke imperatives. basically every wrpg heroines falls into one of 3 categories:>domineering bitch who judges everything you do (will tell you about her past relationships so you can't accidentally think she's a virgin)>bisexual whore who will fuck anyone and everything>quirk chungus
>>736983363Yeah it is quite nice. I really hope one day Owlcat can do dynamic portraits like in VNs or have good enough 3D models to actually animate. Cassia deserves more art.
>>736983319>No (good) Eldar lady romance for my Iconocuck playthrough>No Sister of Battle romance for my Dogmachud playthrough>Not even a Daemonette romance for my Chaosnigger playthrough because she got cut from the gameI'm never gonna forgive Owlcuck. I'm also pirating all their games from now on until this is corrected.
>>736983514is that you Sawyer?
>>736983590He's absolutely, empirically correct about everything btw.
>>736974524Yes. Up to this point in RPGs, no matter how vile and evil she was, you could always "redeem" a romantic interest through love.Viconia is the ur-example:>served an evil goddess for 150 years,>then switched over for an even more evil one,>had three husbands prior to meeting the main character,>had multiple lovers prior to meeting the main character,>prostituted herself on the surface,>a confirmed child-killer,>made numerous sacrifices to her evil goddess,>still hits on a different man in your party (Sarevok), even if you're romancing her,But people still ate it up, because you could switch her alignment and make her a bit less of a bitch for the last 30% of the second game's expansion.So Camellia is a giant middle finger to those types of romances.
>>736983816Cambros' need to feel unique and special will never not be funny, to the point that they genuinely have to convince themselves that she's some kind of "subversion" even though the game fully expects you to be an evil asshole alongside her
>>736983514You're just a tasteless bitch. Here's a list of female romances who fit none of the three, just off the top of my head:>Raven (Arcanum),>Aerie (Baldur's Gate II)>Elanee (Neverwinter Nights II)>Trish Merigold (The Witcher Series)>Lara Ravel (Pathologic II)>Kibellah, Cassia (Rogue Trader)>Wenduag (Wrath of the Righteous)>Aribeth (Neverwinter Nights; Neverwinter Nights II)>Fall-From-Grace; Annah (Planescape: Torment)
>>736983481RT has some exclusive companions but there isn't much meat to them
>>736983926>>Wenduag (Wrath of the Righteous)lol
>>736981645The actual main story is about becoming an entity that is both beyond and outside of humanity.Unfortunately, the only paths that achieve it fully are Aeon and Demon. Even Lich, for 80% of his playtime, feels more like just playing a Necromancer. Trickster, Azata and Angel just have you feel like a super-powered human.>>736984003Yes, you retard, maybe actually try playing the game. Her whole schtick is that she's acting like a slavering toady for the majority of the game.
it's telling that owlcuck made it so you can't do romance with argenta and had the dark elfdar party member be a dude instead of a girl.
>>736983974>>736983481It's understandable from a dev time perspective since it takes a large amount of dev time to make a companion that's fully fleshed out with sidequests and such so it's wasted if you have to dumpster that companion for some large % of playthroughs the way they get around that is by making the exclusive companions extremely lategame with no content aside from just getting the character which also sucks
>>736984031She literally gloats about how much of a slut she is and openly tries to fuck other men
>>736983319I'm honestly fine with not having the daemonette, but I really do wish that you actually saw companions becoming degenerate as you become more evil, just like Kotor 2 and falling to the dark side. Both Cassie and Jae are basically immune to chaos and have no real changes happening to them during heretical run, think Cassie only comments on seeing weird colors around you but that's it. Not even sure if they have unique ending slides at all for heretical, something that Kibellah,Solomorne,Idira and Abelart have
>>736983874She lies to you and tells you its for a greater purpose (while its still obvious she's fucked up), that is the classic playbook of a character arc questline, she also gets a tragic backstory. The game then subverts this as it becomes increasingly clear that it all doesn't matter, she's still irredeemable, none of that was relevant, even the true parts like the backstory.>Cambros' need to feel unique and special It's literally what her character is, there is no need for anything. It's not super deep or complicated, it's pretty on the nose, but somehow you still missed it.
Jae is bae
>>736984116Yeah, I like RT companions, it's probably the best roster of Owlcat yet, but there is a lot of room for improvement in that regard, it still feels like all runs are the same when it comes to companions, in fact in RT the issue is worse than in Wrath where you had a decent good/evil balance
>>736984098Try to not to view everything from the angle of your own insecurities.You're not lovers. You are her MASTER. You can use her body because she sees it as your right. It's not a relationship, but a transaction. Only if you go on the True Love route does she start changing.
>>736984184The game doesn't subvert anything because it never expects you to "fix" her, it's obvious that she's lying from the get-go unless you're a brainlet and you're supposed to be okay with her committing mass murder, the game already has an I can fix her slut, as badly done as it may be, you consistently have to encourage her to be better. That doesn't happen with Camellia because there's no subversion, the gotcha towards "I can fix her" fags only exists in your head
>>736984303Can you read? >will tell you about her past relationships so you can't accidentally think she's a virgin>bisexual whore who will fuck anyone and everythingWendog fits the criteria for both
>>736984031>demon escapes the "super-powered human" designation but trickster doesn'tDemon is just the story of becoming a generic warlord or a simp lol
>>736984398And can your little brain understand you're not in a romance with her?>>736984598But it portrays from the very start that you're slowly turning into a different being altogether, and your companion reactions reflect that.
>>736966728Only Owlcat were capable enough to create my husband, so i cannot possibly agree with your assessment of their romances. Total Jimmy Love!
>>736984656The first one she only does if you're romancing her, and the topic is about female romances, what the fuck are you talking about?
>>736984656I catalog those reactions as moral rather than the demon's inherent presence, in that regard it's no different to the other paths.
>>736969335I get that she'd be disgusted by sex or breeding. That makes sense, since to her kind it'd be the same as bestialityBut the part that's weird/retarded is why would hugging or regular intimacy be uncomfortable for her?IRL, people hug their pets or let dogs sleep on the bed all the time. You can care deeply about an animal and form a lifelong bond with one without wanting to fuck it.But in Yrliet's case, the player is like... barely a close friend? Even after everything you do to help her.Really weird writing.
>>736983926>Trish Merigold (The Witcher Series)>Kibellah (Rogue Trader)>Wenduag (Wrath of the Righteous)>not a bisexual whore that will fuck anythinglol
>>736981312Chaos
>>736984878I'm sorry but how is Kibellah a whore who will fuck anything?Has shitposting evolved to a new level that I was not aware of?Like, the worst thing you can say about her is that (after travelling with you for a while) she has sex at the first "date", but she sees you as a literal god, it's not like Jae who was going around distributing blowjobs to the crew
>>736984031she's also a disgusting mutant and lann's sloppy seconds. also aerie was the original non-threating quirky girl.>>736983590he was 100% right but for the wrong reasons
>>736984964>the original non-threating quirky girlAh yes, the "she's not a cunt, therefore she's non-threatening" you're indeed correct that this (retarded) logic has plagued that type of girl since Aerie
>>736984656>umm dude it's an open relationship she can fuck other people and I respect that
What kind of Rogue Trader build should I run if I'm generally aiming towards having Abelard, Argenta, Cassia, and Pasqal in the party.
>>736967206Taking a shit is also an integral part of life, even more integral than fucking, yet I don't see you advocating for every game to include a shitting mechanic
>>736984285WotR roster is better. RT companions have almost no content. They are cool but unless you are named Kibellah, Heinrix, Yrliet or Cassia you basically don't exist past Act 1.Argenta especially is a travesty with her turning into a merc when you leave Footfall and not getting even a single iota of content or reactivity until Comorragh.
>>736985387>WotR roster is betterNo way. Only Daeran and Regil are good. The rest can go die in a fire for all I care. They are all extrenely unlikeable. RT companion might have jack all for content but they completely mog in terms of likeability and banter
>>736985347It unironically doesn't matter. RT can be anything. Psykers are by far the most powerful class if that's your thing.
>>736985470>the edgy midget and the annoying homo (he's not annoying because I want to fuck him)daring today /v/
>>736985470Disagree. I like RT roster but they're just objectively less fleshed out than the WotR one. You might not like the WotR characters but none of them feel like mercs unlike RT.RT needed a dlc to add content to every companion rather than adding even more companions that'll get 1 quest then remain silent for the rest of the playthrough.
>>736985347Noble/Officer skill monkey. Just sit back and buff everyone.
>>736985591I don't care how well fleshed out a character is if they're unlikeable. wotr roster isn't just the bottom of the barrel. They had to turn over the barrel and scratch the other side of it, then made wotr companions from what they'd gotten there
>>736985470arue, woljiff, and ember are all finecamilla is funny if you like her gimmick and you can kill her quickly if you don'tthe only companions in wotr who i think are really irredeemable are the dwarf guy and wendawg
>>736985347something Psyker would be good because how diverse you can get with them, just experiment with what you think is the coolest psyker school with exception being Diviner
>>736968941Yeah, but it's a negative part of life. Why include the bad instead of the good?
>>736985728No way, nenio, sosiel and seelah are way worse than wenduag.
>>736985613Officer is the most boring class in the game. Just let Jae or Cassia do it. MC is way more fun Asa psyker or archmilitant.
>>736985835I forgot about Nenio because I literally never take her kek
>>736985728>arue, woljiff, and ember are all fineLol, ablooblooefag immediately jumping to his garbage waifu's defense. Fuck off, retard, and kill yourself. Terrible character, just like emder. Woljif is at least isn't offensively bad
>>736985613Look at the buffslut, gonna put on a dress? Sissy
>>736985835Nenio is basedSosiel is bland and I've never used him really when Daeran can easily cover Divine.Seele is boring but you should be playing a Paladin in a good playthrough anyway so she's redundant.
Nigga said emder
>>736985897You sound upset
>>736985728>dwarf guy
>>736985728the dwarf is hilarious because you recruit him on a mission to slay a dragon, but his build is so bad he can only hit the dragon on a 19+.
Wrath party mogs the dogmasharts in Rogue Trader. Abelard, Kibellah and Cassia are the only good companions in that game.
>>736985973It was an incredible decision to have him fuck up the second time he was on screen
What I'm getting from this thread is that everyone hates 90% of Owlcat characters
>>736986017It would be hilarious if the story didn't pretend that he's this super skilled assassin when in truth he's extremely incompetent. You really don't need him to kill that dragon
>>736985973It's funny how even this dude is somehow more fleshed out than any RT companion lol. WotR really was the better game.
>>736966728Modern Bioware or Obsidian, Larian.Well, that was easy.
>>736986018And lo and behold, all 3 are dogmatic.
>>736986053>everyoneNo, just /v/ contrarians, the characters are mostly beloved or at worst divisive, with some exceptions like Sosiel or Gaybore who are so boring nobody cares about themAlso this contrarianism applies to every modern CRPG, people always act like the companions are the absolute worst of the worst but then they go and jerk off to their favorite turnip midget from their favorite boomer game
>>736976023Valerie has lower INT and WIS than the barbarian who occasionally does Hulk speak and the retarded goblin
>>736986018>Abelard, nothingburger character, even more than Argenta>Kibellahnot even a character> and Cassiaok
>>736986017>>736986085Dual wielding is just bad in Pathfinder without a fuck tonne of investment. Also he's a dwarf (20 ft move) and specialized in Dwarven Axes (medium sized weapons) and has no defense since he's a slayer with low DEX.Probably the worst built companion desu. Lorewise he probably should be effective against the dragon.Regill's build is also not great but it can be redeemed unlike Greybor.
Can't think of any game where "romance" wasn't a low effort waste of time.Maybe stop being an incel.
>>736986330Dual wielding can be amazing, but not on Graybore hilariously, Wenduag with dual throwing hatchets is a DPS machine and can do so from the safety of the backline
>>736986330>Regill's build is also not great but it can be redeemed unlike Greybor.Redpill me on how to use Regill.
>>736986330Can't slayer just cheat all the dual wielding requirements? Greybor still gets full bab and has okay stats so how bad could he really be?>>736986453Ignore hell knight completly and go all in on fighter levels. Going strength is also an option despite his initial build, it’s just a much easier stat to buff sky high.
>>736986453Triceratops statue to give him a mount. Completely ignore hellknight and level him exclusively on Fighter. Grab mythic finesse to convert his DEX to dmg. He'll eventually become a blender that shits out dmg with his full attacks.If Triceratops is too immersion breaking for you you prolly won't have a great experience since Gnome also has the movement malus for being a small race.
>>736986359It's not an issue of effort, by nature romance in a crpg has to satisfy a bunch of requirements>several dialogue optionsThis is a huge limiting factor, you are not writing both characters, you are only writing the npc, and the player needs to have different options that fit different players. This already makes it harder to do than a romance novel>decent amount of options and appealYou can't write a properly placed, unique romance path, you have to write several paths, for several girls, and for at least some of them to be generic enough for wide appeal>separate from the companion's questSince the romance options are companions, you want their bulk of content to be outside of the romance. This makes the romance much shallower because the bulk of the character writing happens outside of it.Still, I wouldn't say it's not worth doing, players like it, me included. It cannot be a gourmet dish like a well written book/show/movie romance but its a decent burger.
>>736986559>has okay stats so how bad could he really be?nigga has a 27 point buy dog
>>736986563>Triceratops statue to give him a mountMy niggy. I always give it to him.
>>736986559Fighter is the only class that can cheat medium weapon dual wielding. He's also just made of paper. STR dual wielding is horrible for defense. His AC is so pathetic he'll likely get shredded by even the shittiest fodder enemies.He CAN shit out dmg if he's untouched but most companions can do that while not being a glass cannon.
>>736986563>>736986559OK so just fightermaxx him? That sounds easy enough.
>>736986690>Fighter is the only class that can cheat medium weapon dual wieldingmy demonslayer ranger is able to get the TWF feats despite not having the dex for them though
>>736986739I'm talking about effortless dual wielding (no penalties on dual wielding medium weapons).Only Fighter has access to that. You're pretty much stuck with using a handaxe in his offhand if you don't want -4 to all attacks.
>>736976186If your waifu doesn't appear here then she's ugly
>>736966728>worse romance optionsObshitian.
Who thought mutation warrior was a good ideaWhy do all the other fighter subclasses lose shit but the strongest doesn’t
>>736986697Yeah, it's a bit sad but Hellknight is not a very good class. You can still do it for fun though. I've cleared with both but pure Fighter is quite a bit stronger.
>>736976186How am I supposed to interpret this? Where did hot waifus and dinosaurs rank?
>>736987068Nowhere. That's the point: Owlkeks are making fun of waifuniggers, and waifuniggers are so retarded they still haven't caught on
>>736987164Keep telling yourself that
>>736986559>Greybor still gets full bab and has okay stats so how bad could he really be?in pathfinder martials are second class citizens and owlkek makes the problem 10x worse with their "core" enemy stats. you need a seriously minmaxed build as a melee fighter to even hit enemies reliably. greybor has a shitty "roleplaying" build so he's just a walking liability.
>>736987215>waifunigger is so retarded he can't read a simple pie chartAs expected
>>736987164>making fun of waifuniggers by adding impregnation endings, a DLC companions that's your devoted servant (you can also impregnate her) and this hot bimboPlease Owlcat keep making fun of me
>>736987352>in pathfinder martials are second class citizensJust wait for the third Pathfinder game using 2E rules where martials are gods and casters need a full turn to cast a cantrip
>>736966872>there should be guard rails on videogame writing because I'm a broken human being
>reverse Jimmy romance where a noble woman is constantly sexually harassing usI'm ready.
>>736987829I sure hope so. I want a femcel that needs correction to harass me with impunity until I snap
>>736967047Yeah her father is a fat bastard that fucks elves. And what did you accomplish in your life?
>>736987829Do you have a source for this outside of your fantasies?
>>736966728Why is it that every single thread of this developer's games smell like a shilling campaign psyop? forced and fake af.
>>736988134Yes
>>736966728In every game with romances there's only one option that I like while I dislike everyone else, Owlcat is no different. The sole exceptions are BG2 and DAO
>>736988558I usually like several, but only ever do the same character over and over again
>>736988140Because they are
>>736985973You know what, that's not even the worst thing about Greybor. The worst thing by far is that the game tries to pretend that he's a neutral guy when he's the definition of an evil bastard. He murders people for money, he takes pride in murdering people for money and constantly brags about it, fuck it he even tries to kill the guy stopping the demonic invasion if he doesn't like him.The whole nothing personal is not an excuse for not being evil
Giving Jimmy compliments until he blushes
>>736989305>feels right at home in the abyss>"yeah bro he's true neutral trust me"Then again he's just one of the several weird examples of alignment in these games
How is the writing in Rogue Trader?Is it cringe like WOTR?
>>736989725Not really. The worst you could say is that Daeran is just an asshole rather than actually evil or that someone like Seelah and Nok Nok veer of from their alignment a little but that's just being obtuse about the whole thing.Meanwhile Greybor is giddy at the chance of joining and taking over a demonic assassin guild and use it to further his own self interests. Whatever token code of honor he has is pointless at that point, which is also ridiculous because he betrays it if offered more money of the chance to kill someone he dislikes.
>>736990091The writing is bad, but the prose is better
>>736990091Horrifically. Everyone acts and talks like fisher-paykel Californian commie version of 40k.Its not even remotely warhammer. Owlcat weren't even pretending to try.
>>736989305i think it's really funny that he's true neutral yet half his camping conversations are "i want to kill you, fellow party member"even wendaug isn't that bad
Just fucking play Pillars of Eternity already.
>>736979420There is a part of me that died when they turned the pillars universe into we wuz venetians. They couldn't leave well enough alone. Every little human race had their own represented culture and it was completely randomized and they said that it wasn't enough, they needed the entire game to be about the one black culture and... colonialism! If there's one thing I hate being a magical homosexual pirate it's mercantilism
>>736966728Name a reason crpgs even need romance optionsyou can't
>>736980013>If you want a game that explores the human conditionNo one fucking wants this, it's just something midwits say to try to put the thing they like above criticism. If you want to explore any topic at all seriously, the medium isn't games or art, it's books or wikis or for the very ADD, targeted video essays."The human condition" is the most overexplored thing ever and very few creative works have anything of unique value to add, most just crib off the same basic universal rubrics, or in the case of bg3 the fake gay "safe" anti-moral "progressive" subset of them.The human condition is also the relentless everyday experience for everyone seeking to escape it by playing games
>>736990091ignore the previous retard, writing is fine
>>736990607Yeah it was pretty jarring as I'm playing through the game that 99% of all the Valian Republics(Italian) character are all black. Like they are clearly spouting italian words with one letter removed along with the accent but their in-game portraits are clearly black. It's like they made them all the dedicated Pallegina race (minus the godhead) because she's black and also from the republics in the first game.
>>736990790The valians are all black. It's actually brilliant, give blacks their wakanda empire, but it's on the decline and just about at remotely relevant as ALL the other cultures in the game, allowing you to select whatever race and it make sense. But what they did was they made some white cultures which are strictly sword and sorcery and then some asians doing some stuff in the plains. That's how you know 2 was just this nonsensical top down mess where they had to teleport cultures around to get a tropical black pirate game
>>736980013The human condition is literally in every story that involves anything. I would say it's even impossible to write a story that isn't about or resemble any semblance of the human condition.
>>736990989The only crpgs that make it their goal and successfully manage to explore the human condition in any significant way are Planescape, Disco Elysium and Pentiment. Everything else, including owlkek games, is low-brow slop.
>>736966728owlcat isn't a classic rpg developer, so
>>736991074Low brow or high brow, it is still indelibly about the human condition, so clearly it's a worthless distinction. A romantic chivalric epic is still about the human condition as the most post-modernist cynical story that touts about the falseness of grand narratives. They both tap into the human condition.
>>736990986Here's your Italian fantasy culture, bro
>>736966872>just remove gameplay because I don't like said gameplay No subhuman retard.
I like romance in my vidya and I'm the most important person on this planet and things happen according to the way I want so enjoy having romance in vidya games you lesser abhumans. Its my gift to you.
>>736991441Stay away from my RPGs.
>>736991527They are MY RPGs and not yours. They are toys for ME. You get to play them because I allow it.Enjoy the shit I like or suffer, subhuman bitch.
Why is the captcha still so slow?
our fantasy rpg is a serious and mature game for adults because you can have sex with anthropomorphic non human characters and you see boobs in a ten second long cut scene
>>736991598And unsolicited in-game propositions of cuckoldry and/or homosexuality of course! That makes it extra-mature.
>>736980472not a crpg but don't forget the hagsthis one's not available probably on account of being an actual literal cat
>>736991818what videogame is this?

>>736991869Rune Factory Guardians of AzumaYou can't romance her btw.
>>736991932>You can't romance her btw.it's over, japan has fallen
>>736992025Its just Story of Season/Rune Factory things where they don't allow mature women to be a love interest for male characters ever since they went with dual protag.Pic related is the last adult/mature bachelorette that we get to romance. Also btw this doesn't apply to female MC. They got more variety in term of age.
>>736992025Its rune factory. The game is anti hag and anti breasts.
>>736992380>anti hag Not based>anti breastsUberbased
Why is Arue so cute?
>>736990091it's standard 40kslop where everything is horrible and people die for no reason other than being grimderp. the writing also takes a nose drive after act 3.
>>736966872This. If it isn't epic loot with a stat upgrade I don't give a d*mn.

>>736982271Wait how did you guess
>>736993951whores aren't cute
>>736966728having none is the best
No waifu? No buy.
>>736966728>romance optionsWhat kind of loser needs this?
>>736993951Because she has traits that make her cute to straight men (this has the side effect of making troons and fags mad though, like the ones that replied to you)
>>737000368the ones that browse /v/, if you don't like perhaps reddit may be a suitable replacement for you
>>737000414Ahh yes, the well known men-appealing-trait of having a body count larger than some countries' GDPs.
>>737000601Let's be honest, this website is already like reddit, except you don't need to sign in and they don't ban you for saying nigger.
>>737000653She's also not a virgin which makes people like you mad. Arue really is perfect at pissing off everybody And yet she is STILL the most popular girl, truly impressive
I'm just surprised they went with Dark Heresy instead of a Warhammer Fantasy CRPG.
>>736966728Larian
>>736966872fpbp, romance in games is pure fucking cringe for losers.
>>736966872Based. Romance never can be properly integrated into main plot and themes without sacrificing consistency. Or doing shit ton of extra work, basically rewriting script multiple times. It's always ends up same companion scenes + 2 more for romance. Always feel out of place too. Just play romance VN at this point.
For me it's the power fantasy, I just want a CRPG where I can become the most powerful or a literal god in the setting and not just in term of stats, WoTR is the only one that actually fit that bill and every others CRPG is more or less the same stuff, and yet when I bring this up people act like power fantasy in CRPG is a common thing and therefore bad.
>>737001304jealous because their mysterious black haired half elf that cucks you is way more popular?
>>737000653Nobody cares outside of this shit hole, especially if the character is a succubus. Morrigan and Viconia are whores and yet they're still the most popular girls in their respective games.
>>736966872>He doesn't want to fuck a sisters of battle Typical Gaynigger
>>736967360Games are a better story medium than shows. They're behind books though.
>>736985386as anon said, shitting is a negative thing, not a positive thing like romance/sexYou can also eat food in the vast majority of these games even though just replacing all food with potions is probably easier from a dev perspective. Why? Because it immerses the player into a positive experience. And no this isn't a food "analogy", you can literally eat food.
why is rp now erp
>>737002559>nowgo complain to bg2 26 years ago
>>737002559mmo slang did a number on vidya games
>>737003181it's one of the worst facets of that game. still, it wasn't nearly as gay as owlshit>>737003316don't you like dpsing mobs with your toons
>>737002559bg3 is definitely way too much for me
>>736966728Bioware ruined a generation of already sad young men into thinking their dollies are a replacement for human interaction. Stop it.

Lets be honest, if we were in commanders position we would obviously pivot towards Camellia. Why wouldn't you enjoy a good murder orgy if you're in a position of power? Imagine what fun you could have with her and her victims. Like you could do in anyone you want. Some elf bitch disrespected you? You could be pumping her headless corpse and have camellia do cumplay with the severed head by morning. Some dwarflet had too high prices? Put a stake up his ass and cut him limb from limb in your dungeonWe all have fantasies of being serial killers and rapists, don't even try to deny it. We've all thought about, we've all had a hypothetical perfect murder in our minds, we've all had a girl you just want to bend over have our way with. For me it was thinking about killing hitchhikers with a bow and arrow, with two people the options are endless
>>737003783Would pump and then let Anevia dump her
>>736968870it's cheaper to use a jeet
>>737003783I can do all the raping and pillaging by myself. She doesn't bring enough to the table and mostly is an unstable liability. I'd let her live for a bit just to kill her during sex, right as we orgasm.
>>736966872This. If the protagonist is not a futa, what's the point?
Wenduslag was a good IQ litmus for both regular and emotional IQ and most people failed it.We are shown explicitly the characters greatest desires and hers is to be the dom and brainlets still think bullying her into being a sub is what she wanted.
>>737007047why do you keep repeating this when her romance plays out the same?
>>7370071401: First time I've posted that, I rarely visit these threads2: What the fuck is your point, brainlet. Unsmartlet. IQ lacking ludite. Her romance plays out with you bullying her into pretending she likes submitting, when its super easy to get betrayed because she canonically likes to be the dom. Anyone with an IQ above 30 would recognize she should have a path where you submit to her.
>>737007291Not only does her romance not work like that but she also will never betray you if you're romancing her. You're just confirming my theory that Wendubros don't actually play her romance.Also fuck gookmoot and this captcha, I don't even know if I'll be able to post this
>>736979420
>>736966728Is the SoB still not romancable?
>>737008174>cambros on /vg/ made up cuck fantasies about a character from a different game and Arue while their waifu Camellia was getting every hole filled at the brothel they're a weird bunch I tell you
>>737003745>we're making an evil game with evil sex companions>holy fuck I get to have sex with she devils and kill dragons? dayum larian I'm listening>actually all we have is a non binary with 0 sexual interest from a sex cult that immediately cucks you after you "crack her shell">what about that sexy demon lady on the box?>oh her? we spend 10,000 hours modelling her and she shows up for 3 minutes in the game, yeah we literally couldn't be asked to make her interesting she's leftover from the early access >oh... kay? what else do you have>what about an english slag with horns that fucks you in the ass, that's kind of the same thingnever again
>>736966728love that kibellah nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>736966728captcha still shit and you want to whine about romance?

>>737009820Eder doesn't actually own a farm. It's something people say about him because he's from the Dyrwood where most people are hicks.
>>736966728romance is for gays
>>736968492They're terminally online, more than anyone. Also telling everyone about it seems to be part of the fetish
>>736967104>BG2I will never forgive Larian for what they did to my girl...
>>737010623You and me both, brother https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg7qOLq7vHM
>>736966728Supergiant Games exists
>>736966872Some crpgs should have romance options, depending on the crpg.Not every romance should be fully fleshed out or even consummated, it should be dependant on the crpg's story pacing.But if having a romance option in the game means identity politics then its better if games had no romance options at all.
>>736989305>>736989725>>736990226>>736990307Only you're all wrong. The guy is LITERALLY LARPing and coping. If you get the True Aeon Ending and keep his memories, he stays home and never becomes an assassin.Given the choice for a redo of his life, he does the exact opposite of what he constantly proclaims.
>>737011101cam gets the same deal but she's still obviously chaotic evil
>>737010623>>737010749If anyone thought they'd make her "redeemed" epilogue canon, you're a moron. NONE of the evil companions from any of the games got a happy ending:>Xzar is murdered by Harpers>Montaron is murdered by Harpers>Tiax is killed by Irenicus>Korgan is killed in battle>Edwin gets turned into a woman, depowered, and becomes a waitressAnd so on. It was obvious her and Sarevok's non-redeemed epilogues would be canon.And thank God for that. Sarevok switching into CHAOTIC GOOD within a few weeks is completely moronic, since he has no reason nor motivation for such a drastic change.And Viconia is even worse. She spent a total of 250 years serving either Lloth or Shar, the latter of which is the single most evil deity in the setting, one who actually wants to erase all of existence. You literally CANNOT be a non-evil cleric of Shar in either 2nd or 3rd Edition.
