You are not people, no one gives a shit what you think. You are subhuman polcel tourists who know nothing of the genre or the franchise, concerned only with shilling you political agenda. You need to be eviscerated and hanged from fucking trees for shitting up the vidya discussion space with your culture warrior dogshit, especially seeing how you already lost the culture war anyway lol.

Male companions should be cool

>>
>>499656464
>This is the third time I've seen anons being hard filtered by Hal. Is he really that strong?
He seems pretty impossible so far. He has 60AC so I can only hit him on crits. He has 8APR and True Sight so once he stops casting heals hastes and breath attacks he wipes my entire party in a round or two. He's not immune to compulsion so theoretically I could Feeblemind him, but between his magic resistance and will saves it's basically a 0% chance.

I can get him with Stinking Cloud, but he's just so impossible to hit I can't kill him before he eventually saves, full heals, and proceeds to wipe my party.

>>499729991
Who told you that? Tolkien's nephew? I'm sorry but that's completely ridiculous. They are obviously rape machines, they just can't show people with their holes totally blown open without getting an X rating, but that's what would happen if some giant orc with a dick like a treetrunk tried to fuck someone while frothing at the mouth in a bloodrage

The early game Pathfinder stuff is so sweet actually. They've got it tuned like a swiss watch so a +1 difference on a modifier is actually a big deal. By lategame the amount of modifiers are frankly insane. I've never played this tabletop but imagining anyone keeping track off all this in their head beggars belief
>>
>>499736309
The thing is tabletop games rarely actually get to high levels. They tend to be designed around that low level experience.

Oh yeah, that's the place I was thinking of. That was complete bullshit even though it was kinda sci-fi. I remember hearing that was backer content, so you can channel your anger by imagining beating them to death
>>
>>499751164
Yeah I don't really dig the whole modern-scifi-zone-in-a-high-fantasy-setting thing, but, oh well.
They're just really poorly balanced. All the other mobs in the zone are pretty standard: succubi, incubi, fighters, archers, wizards. But then these dudes have 15 more AC than the next strongest enemies, multiple immunities, forbiddingly high saves, and fast healing 10.
And that's really what's starting to drive me nuts about this game:
>d20-based game
>every mob has 45AC, 35 spell resistance, and 25 saves

I get that I can get +35s with enough autistic prebuffing and get the the rolls back into the usual 50/50, but I refuse to prebuff that autistically.
>>
>>499751754
They have some kind of lightning weakness but I'm pretty sure there was some other gimmick to getting around their defenses but I can't remember. I need to replay. I like when a fight utilizes some mechanic that's used nowhere else in the game so I can dismiss it as a gimmick automatically
>>
>>499752375
Lightning stops their fast healing but they have 10 res or immunity anyway.
Their Achilles heel is they have like a +7 will save, so confusion helps make them piss of while you clean up all the mobs they're grouped with, but after that the only way I can see to kill them, sans a spell pen ray caster which I don't have, is autoing them down, which is just fuckibg tedious.

Knight enchanter. Very mobile and also unkillable. You zip around spamming spells and then spend it on your blade. You can also replace your staff with a magic greatsword too.
>>
>>499760885
The only reason to play knight-enchanter is the ability to use that lightning barrage spell with a greatsword staff since the damages scales with your weapon damage and greatsword staff deals much more base damage than a regular staff.
>>
>>499761139
I mean it works fine with the regular staff. I think the one from trespasser that gives random buffs is actually better. If you get the static cage that shocks with every hit to go with the barrage spell you're already doing more than enough damage.
The real reason you use the greatsword is that it fires double the projectiles with the barrage.

Back here with another Thaumaturge post. I've been running around doing the sightseeing errands, basically just collecting sketches for visiting certain places like the patriotic art gallery or listening to the local storyteller grandpa. The bad was that you didn't actually get to see the gallery directly nor could you listen to the stories of 'oldtimey Warsaw'. I understand that they wanted to set a mood with that, but it was a large letdown nonetheless. It didn't help that your thaumasense wasn't showing you where you should go unless you skipped to the right time of day. Thankfully you can do it freely in The Thaumaturge. Currently continuing the quest for the salutor wife.

I really like the aspect of Fallout 1 letting you go anywhere and do any quest you want from the very beginning of the game, but I greatly dislike how unpolished many interactions feel such as various NPCs attacking you without telling you the reason why (e.g. Cathedral people attacking you if you have a companion or a Berserker status despite never conversing with you about it, and etc.).

I really want a game structured like Fallout 1 but with a lot more clarity as to why interactions are happening the way they do or why some conversations do or don't have various dialogue choices as a result of things I may have unknowingly done. Does such a game exist?

you can beat the game in 12 mins
honestly the problem with the game is that averlone is huffing his own farts, its needlessly verbose and kinda stupid contrary to the tone and delivery at certain points which is really annoying, pick a lane.
the map is really tiny because theres a lot of unpassable terrain, which is not very interesting since youll most likely be shooting fiends and cazadores, and maybe some geckos.
its a 6/10, 7/10 if it decided to work, its just as unstable today was it was a 12 years ago, its good for at least 1 or 2 play throughs
>Does such a game exist?
what youre asking is realistically no, because of the requirements of it being a game with assets more than just text on a screen. you dont really have a choice in games, you just have the illusion of choice before it set you back on the rail rather than have these massive deviations from something as simple as going left instead of right
>>
>>499803617
1. Lyrium is alive.
2. Red lyrium is lyrium infected with the blight.
3. Red lyrium can be transported to any location.
4. Red lyrium can be grown at any location.
5. Red templars transported red lyrium everywhere they went and then fed it living/dead bodies so that it would grow.
6. Lyrium itself has to be mined deep underground and is relative rare.

Throwing axes are fantastic on Wenduag, because the game gives a crapton of great throwing axes, and she's got the stats and class to take full advantage.

Don't really see the point unless you're playing Mantis Zealot, but they do have a lot of good ones scattered across the game. Owlcat didn't want those mantis going hungry.

Thanks. Honestly I think blogposting should be more common here. It keeps the thread alive and stays on the topic very closely. Like why the hell some people would hate blogposting is beyond me. It's literally the most on point thing you can do. Otherwise what? You can just comment on what's being said and answer questions some anons come with or waifupost the same shit over and over. Blogposting gives a chance for discussion, crpgs are already a niche genre so it can popularize some obscure games.

Absolutely. Actually I feel that I'm missing out a bit since I intentionally avoid anything RT or WH40K related, and I know that there are anons still posting that game regularly.
>Actually I wind up getting a lot of good advice when people call me stupid (accurate) or point out things I'm doing wrong
Yeah, this is good. I tend to play lesser known/older games here, PoE games were an exception (yep I'm that guy), so I don't get much advice. I didn't post my Kangmaker and WotR, except a bit of lategame. I don't like anything spoilery to be honest, but I wouldn't mind getting some battle-related advice from time to time. I mostly like to explore on my own.
>I've posted some extremely retarded shit, especially in here
I can tell you're coming here to have fun and further your hobbies like me. I can't imagine what would be 'extremely retarded' but it must have been on topic. So as long as you're having fun and staying on topic I'm saying you're perfectly fine and more people should have your attitude.

Given the games' troubled development waving every red flag in the book like being in dev hell for 10 years, senior staff leaving, being rebooted twice & being an ex-live service title, it's difficult to see Veilguard delivering an experience that will impress the fans after such a long wait.

Also it should be considered that this version of the game started development during Covid lockdown, that means that the team had even less time to take a full proper swing at it's development. Expecting them to pull more "Bioware magic" out of their ass seems too optimistic given the circumstances.

So far the biggest sign of the scope of Veilguard being disappointing is the world state import only accounting for 3 past decisions. Needed at minimum a few more like who became the Divine & who drank from the well of sorrows to properly flesh it out to a more satisfactory amount.

As for what they have shown off so far? The companions seem lame (giving off andromeda vibes), the combat change to a real time action with cool down abilities would be an easier sell if you could switch to your companions on the fly (going from the mage move set to rogue, then warrior like a jank style switcher version of Dante), & the dialogue wheel being back is expected even though it sucks.

It will sell fine, the tumblr audience is still there for this so I'm guessing about 4 mill during the first year of release. Same as inquisition basically, with it reaching about 7ish mill after a couple years when on sale. If that's enough for EA is another matter.

Oh & David calling anyone a coomer is rich considering the romance sub plot him & Patrick wrote for his self insert OC companion Dorian, & Iron Bull. It's not like at least 90% of these games' online fanbase (including women, gay & trans fans) aren't coomers as well.

Was probably a clever bit of calculated marketing, picking a fight with the "undesirables" to get good press.

I've never really thought of it that way but it's like the further you go in the game the less randomness there is because the value of the modifers vastly outweighs the value of the die rolls. You still have crits I guess. D100 is better but not human friendly to roll, so you get this compromise

Since I've gone Legend, the game has become absurdly easy.

The combat rules are just kinda weird, because it revolves around a d100 instead of a d20 I guess. Like you get hit way more often, so you have to build for that. You wind up seeing weird shit like people dumping will despite playing a mage to max out deflect.

I guess it works in theory, you just can't neglect Con or whatever, but I just prefer d20.
At least I did until getting into WotR's middlegame. Now I feel like I need to further caveat by just saying 'old DnD'.

>>499893627
You're supposed to have played the game enough times to have a general idea of what spells you need for each area/encounter
Going into any area with succubi (so like half the lategame) without immunity to mind-control sounds as smart as doing the Bodak cave without Death Ward
And this is without mentioning crits or other bullshit

Oh sweet people are actually talking about Wrath in here. I'm doing a run of The Midnight Isles with a team of 4 Kineticists, a Bard, and an Elemental Witch for early game breezing through everything with minimal damage or resting or investment. Only thing is, I vaguely remember seeing that Zippy Magic doesn't work with a Kineticist's Blast anymore since the last time I played, without that are there any paths that are particularly useful for a Kineticist?
>>
>>499896154

I did have an idea, I just wasn't expecting Wendy to roll a 3 on her save, immediately be next in the initiative, and crit twice

Can you get flat immunity to dominate person in act 2?

>>499897329

Kinetic Sharpshooter is ridiculously overpowered, but you'll get very tired of remembering to pre-cast quiver 5 times per party member after each rest (Since for whatever reason, you cant use it in buffbot)
>>
>>499898446
Ehh, I'm not really bothered by buffing, I do it even without the Bubble Buffs mod anyway, I'm just trying to figure out if any Path is actually good for the class in general.
>>
>>499898446
Protection from evil makes you immune to dominated.
>>
>>499899541

I had protection from evil up, so either that's horseshit or its WOTR being WOTR

I already had unbreakable heart not work against gibber, so the latter wouldn't surprise me
>>
>>499899485

I haven't done the isles standalone, but I'm guessing you can't choose Devil

Trickster comes to mind, for the Improved Improved feats
>>
>>
>>499899963
AFAIK the 7 paths are still locked to that progression even in the DLCs, that seems to be the way the game was hard coded no matter what gamemode you're in. Ironic, in a way, because without the plot there's not really a reason per se for the other paths (except Legend and Swarm, I suppose) to be locked out since there's nothing inherently special about them that would require separation.

Fuck, it's true resurrection too, so even if he did die within 24 hours, I just revive him the next day, IT'S LITERALLY FREE, DEATH SHOULD HAVE NO CONSEQUENCE HERE.

>>499912124
>implying
You gotta remember, there's shit you can't really cure or come back from even in the PF universe
Stuff like demonic corruption, Athrakitis, Bophides or complete and total evisceration aren't things you can just undo even with high level magic.
Plus once Pharasma judges a soul, that's definitive (unless you like to live dangerously)
Otherwise shit would get crazy
>>
>>499913287
Ok... but Jernaugh merely bleeding out really isn't that big of a deal.
And the True Resurrection spell explicitly says that unless the soul got fucked with or already got judged by Pharasma (which takes weeks, if not months), then it will work no matter how gruesome the death was. It works even for disintegration.
>>
>>499913774

Resurrection requires a willing target, Jernaugh would rather stay dead then live in the world where he got cucked by a hag

WEG 3 is the most overrated Latrineslop and """"crpg"""" in general. It has no challenge, everything is trivial if you know what you are doing. It has no real reactivity, just cosmetic verbal diarrhea and occasional "alternative solution". Act 1 and 2 don't matter, barley any consequences for later in the game. Even Owltranimal's Rogue Tranny did this better. The only thing it has going for it is erotic "romance" which is full of cuckshit as expected and banter with companions. So it is a visual novel WEG with minigame battle gameplay. The writing is terrible, even Yrliwhore's cuckolding ritual was better written.
If you like slop consumed by feces of the month slurping sheepl, then give it a buy. If you want a good game, get Broken Roads and Skald both for the price you would pay for WEG3.

What happens if you recruit Wenduag in Act 1 and then Lann in 3? I know that recruiting Wenduag in 3 means she betrays you no matter what, but Lann doesn't betray, so does he stick around as a moderately fleshed out companion compared to either of them in act 5?
>>

lann can't be recruited in act 3, best you can do is reign wendu in and have an actually pretty good moment where afrer the duel you lawfag explain how he's betrayed his tribe and he exiles himself until chapter 5

I think it is overrated, but it is still a good game. Fun gameplay, story is mediocre, some characters are cringe some are good. Very simple builds compared to PF/POE/Tyranny. It is def not "the greatest heckin crpg of all time", but it is a 7.5-8/10 good game.

Your enforcers are just clowns in military uniforms. Cuck Trader owns no armor or mechanized units, not even a single Imperial Knight.

NTA but if I had to imagine a WHFB crpg:
>Starts in Marienburg, to justify the player character being any race and class possible without being too lorebreaking.
>From there you take ship travels to various parts of the world.
Companions include:
>Dwarf slayer (obligatory)
>Bretonnian questing knight (secretly a woman)
>Imperial hedge wizard, lore of nature, from Middenheim for the obligatory nordic beefcake archetype Owlcat seem to use so much
>Lahmian vampire whose plot you happened to stumble on
>High Elf mage on a mysterious mission from the White Tower
>Sneaky halfling from the Moot
>Ogre mercenary who came with the halfling
>Chaos cultist who you don't know is one until the big reveal, possibly something like a decadent empire noble or overambitious burgher
And, dunno, something else.
>>
>>499928281
I think the game will be majority set in either Empire or Bretonnia, but despite which it ends up being, the two will overlap a bit. Most likely we'll see Bret Knight, Empire soldier/captain, Witch Hunter, Wizard, Bret Damsel, Wood Elf waywatcher, high elf travelling wizard or swordmaster from embassy, dwarf ranger boomstick, dwarf slayer.
Maybe some support chars like a buffing squire for knight or some sigmarite militant for witch hunter. And always they could go exotic with friendly Vampire, Druchii or Dogs of War mercenaries or even Ogre merc if they wanna go above normal humanoid size.
>>
>>499928462
I mainly ask because wotr is for the powerfantasy crowd with mythic paths and all that, and the only way I could think fantasy could do something similar if they wanted to go that route is let the players have a big end times campaign to save the world, but really I just would like a warhammer fantasy crpg at all, powerfantasy or scaled down.

It might have no perceptible flaws, but it also lacks mechanics that I think are fun or interesting.

That sounds like good advice. The game has an incredible amount of charm in addition to solid game mechanics.

There's an overall narrative structure. Conversation interfaces

Proper rpgs allow in-game problems to be solved in alternative ways based on your character building choices, alternative ways that belong to the spectrum of sneak-speak-slay archetypal solution combinations. Like in fallout, you can solve many quests in a violent (slay) or non violent (speak/sneak) manner. JA2 is not a rpg, because all the problems in the game are meant to be solved via one archetypal solution: slay.
>>
I'm just going to say it: WotR is way too hard, especially for what you're getting. Every encounter I have at least one dead party member and several negative levels and damaged ability scores. Then you have to burn spells and diamonds to res people and heal scores, then you have to rest, and the game penalizes you for resting narratively and mechanically. And all this so your party members can tell you how much they like masturbating after committing serial murder and shit.

I think your overly narrow definition of CRPGs is gay as fuck. Seethe harder.
>>
>>499955625
Interesting. I like that definition and I can see how it applies here, but it makes me think of a couple of things. First of all once you're in combat in an RPG, you are almost always locked into 'slay' and combat tends to comprise over half at least of these games. I could see in a tabletop setting there being some wiggle room to try different approaches mid-combat, but often even the possibility of that happening (like attempting a speech check to talk down the bad guy) isn't even expected to be there. (But can't you speech check Saren to just blow his brains out at the end of Mass Effect...? That's cool) Secondly the out-sized slay component of the triumvirate tends to consist almost exclusively of turn based tactics gameplay. And also what is your opinion on immersive sims? Is that an RPG subset?
>>
>>499956409
Gygax defined roleplaying before you were born: "acting in character to create the story". The ability to create the story in a rpg implies that problems can be solved in multiple ways by definition and the potential different resolutions of these problems is what creates a non-linear, non-scripted story. Acting in character means that the problem solutions a player employs are based on his character definition, IE character building choices.

Rpgs were defined by the fathers of the genre before you were born and your opinions on what is or isn't a rpg are worthless dogshit.

Not really
You still have some freedom in the way you play
Like, you can still build your characters around stealth
You still have choice of gear, stats, and characters
The only thing ja2 lacks to be RPG by your definition is being able to talk to enemies
But most RPGs also don't let you get through the whole game just by talking
You have characters, stats, gear, quests, and dialogues
I don't see why it can't be considered RPG
>>
>>499955627
Yeah but you can save and load the game. That makes you like some kind of time traveling god
>>
>>499956614
Being locked into a solution once you initiate it is not a problem for roleplaying. One has to understand, every crpg has a certain roleplaying depth (all the alternative quest/encounter and other in game problem solutions that depend on your character building choices, IE your role definition) and unlike in tabletop this depth cannot be infinite. The quality of crpgs is measured in roleplaying depth first and foremost, but again: it cannot be infinite, because there is no gm to give you infinite alternative solution opportunities.

Immersive Sims without roleplaying depth are not rpgs, but rpgs can be also Immersive Sims. Best example is Skyrim that has alternative quest solutions reliant on speech craft and stealth skills while at the same time being an Immersive Sim.

Stats don't make a rpg, cowadoody has stats. Name me 3 quests in JA2 that can be solved in an alternative, non violent way based on your character skill choices.

>>
>>499958858
False on all those games. All those games have multi solution quests that have alternative non violent solutions. This doesn't mean that every quest in the game can be solved via the full spectrum of speak-sneak-slay archetypal solution combinations, because roleplaying depth cannot be infinite in a crpg, this just means that there are some quests with alternative solutions and thus some roleplaying depth exists which enough to make these games rpgs.

>>
>>499960110
JA2 already has plenty examples of quests and encounters that are solved via the slay archetypal solution. Everyone knows this. You claim the game is a rpg, thus provide examples of alternative quest and encounter solutions that belong to the sneak or speak archetype.
>>
>>499960489

>>499961293
>cheats

>game exploits
Don't care.

Roleplaying is acting in character to create the story. In order for the player to be able to create the story, quests and encounters need to have alternative solutions. Neither JA2 nor xcom have multi solution quests and encounters, therefore neither is a rpg and both have a preset story, which is anathema to roleplaying.
>>
>>499961724
Your definition fucking sucks
Encounters in Xcom and JA2 have multiple solutions. You can use different weapons, you can blow up their cover or floor beneath, you can control mind or hack or just sneak past them or flank or ambush
Also JA2 literally has at least one quest with multiple endings and I'm definitely forgot something

It's not my definition, it's the Gygax's definition. I simply agree with it. Your opinions on what is roleplaying are worthless dogshit next to the definitions laid down by one of the fathers of the genre before you were born.

Killing enemies with different weapons is not an alternative solution, because it still employs the same solution archetype - slay.

JA2 and xcom have no alternative solutions to their quests and encounters. They are tbt games that have nothing to do with rpgs.

Cope.
>>
>>499961724
JA2 provides a multitude of ways to approach situations and they're all violent. The reason is because you cannot "roleplay" as a non-violent mercenary in a scenario where a violent dictator needs to be overthrown. It turns out in real life, force is the only solution for people who refuse to be reasoned with, or accepting your own death. Sorry that this doesn't conform to your söy-based ideology where "every situation has to have a non-violent solution". This doesn't make JA2 "not an RPG". There are more varied ways of approaching combat in JA2 than in most "roleplaying games". Sorry the game doesn't conform to your pacifist preferences. Not EVERY single roleplaying game has to be made for effeminate homosexual males such as yourself.
>>
>>499962736
Approaching combat encounters differently means nothing in terms of roleplaying, because you still end up solving those encounters via the same solution archetype - slay.

Using a Kalashnikov instead of an ARoid in cowadoody doesn't mean you're roleplaying, because you're still solving the encounter via the same archetypal solution - slay.

Ja and xcom have no multi solution quests and encounters, they are tbt games.

Wrong.

>really wanted to make a themed build using Haunting Mist and illusion spells
>d4s mean fuckall when it takes 2 damage to get a -1 penalty, and every enemy has 20-40 of every ability score
>mobs benefit from the concealment bonus
>a lot of enemies are just straight up immune to fear and compulsion
>you get mind fog which is just a straight up -10 penalty with no concealment shenanigans
Well god damn it

Illusion is strong in and of itself, haunting must is just a wacky bonus spell to fuck around with.

I'm gonna keep powering through this DLC with this dhampir slayer even though something tanky (even a monk as per >>499967156) would be better. It adds some fun constraints. It's interesting to think that rather than being limited down to mere combat as is often the case, those three options for confronting problems in the game could instead be broadened to include more methods of overcoming challenges, thus making a game that is even more RPG according to that definition, by providing more roles. They tried to do something similar here with the NPCs that can help you clear different obstacles, even the perennial length of rope or crowbar as a sort of consumable that can be used in different situations to create new solutions. I don't know if people were joking about Quest for Glory being a CRPG, but I think it actually does allow that freedom since it was fundamentally a point and click adventure game first

There is no pain in that man's gaze, only a slight hint of superiority and deep understanding of RPG system design.

If you're having trouble, this shit DLC is not worth powering through with an unsuitable class. You get all the roleplaying opportunities regardless of your class.

Yeah? I remember playing it before and getting to the graveyard, but I never played the second part. What's shit, just the story?
It's fine so far, just need more inflict wounds potions
