>>521643168>What have been the best and worst trends in CRPGs in recent yearsowlcat seems to want to do more companions interacting with each other in the party which is good. I don't like how failing skill checks in their and larain games always lead to 100% bad outcomes though, it leads to feeling the need to savescum bad rolls.
IF WE DON'T GET LEX IMPERALIS and avowed NEWS NEXT WEEK I WILL KILL MYSELF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>521643168I've never actually done a run with the voices/scarlet chorus because they're just too edgy and stupid. Are they worth a play?
I fucking hate swarms.
>>521643732They're the best path by far
>>521643167Because Eora was theirs and Paradox paid them to make a game and they didn't want to just hand over the rights to their in-house IP. So they made Tyranny which if we're being honest is a lot more basic/threadbare though still enjoyable, don't come at >>521643168>tqWorst: The DA2-ification is returning. Say what you want but that's what Veilguard and BG3 are.Best: That we are seeing releases and new ideas. Even the ones I don't like, I'm glad they are there.
>>521643316>Torment: Tides of NumeneraI held off playing this for the longest time because it got middling reviews, but when I finally played it, I loved it more than the original PS:T. The sci-fi setting was right up my alley.
>>521643836I guess I'll try and do a full schizo run then
>>521643074>not wanting to see Anevia's pitiful potion-impotated wiener leaking uncontrollably from brutal anal orc strap
>>521643894Jesus fuck my spoilering is retardedI deserve the bants
>>521643896I don't know why people shit on it so much, it's only fault is that it's too short.
>>521643894>The DA2-ification is returningWhat does that mean? Rushed games? Playersexual shit? Games that are just tonally all over the place compared to their original?
>>521643894>Because Eora was theirs and Paradox paid them to make a game and they didn't want to just hand over the rights to their in-house IP.Then why was PoE finished while Tyranny was only half done? Since both were published by Paradox, if I'm not mistaken, I would have expected them to want the IP that they are going to control to be the more polished product.
>>521643754>Besides, since Paradox is abandoning RPGs now it would be rather easy to acquire it from them.Oh, my sweet summer child...
>>521643317Still better than late 00s, where your cRPG choice for a couple of years would be either Dragon Age: Origins, or Bethesda slop, or some eurojank low budget RPGs made by the likes of CD Project, Piranha Bytes and Larian.>>521643423>owlcat seems to want to do more companions interacting with each other in the party which is good.This is not a recent trend, it's literally a thing that propelled both Squaresoft and BioWare to their heights.>I don't like how failing skill checks in their and larain games always lead to 100% bad outcomesThis is something that people hate since New Vegas.

>>521641917>lost BG3 to Larian>Larian allegedly not on best terms with Wizards afterwards>Icewind Dale 3 belongs to Obsidian
>>521645565Yes
>>521645551Nvm I get it. They are making something entirely different from what people want, and this secrecy is just a way to avoid the shitstorm in socials.
>>521645565>We need more gypsy wives in rpgs
>>521644379Because Obsidian had enough money to publish PoE by themselves and needed Paradox only for physical release, which wasn't the case with Tyranny. Time was also a factor, since PoE was in development for like a 3 years, which is a lot by Obsidian standards. Oh, and also Obsidian are bad at management and planning stuff, which had repeatedly bitten them in the ass since KotOR 2 (and Alpha Protocol being the worst offender).
>>521644379>Since both were published by ParadoxWhile factually true, this statement obsfucates important information.PoE was crowdfunded. They either paid Paradox outright or gave them a small percentage of revenue to handle the literal publishing.Tyranny was contracted out to Obsidian by Paradox (ie Paradox footed the bill) and as such the IP rights in the end would lie with the publisher. During development they would have had to meet milestones set by Paradox and be subject to their whims.If you want me to draw a crude parallel: former is more a partnership and latter is more akin to client-patron relationship; at the end the painter has to hand the painting over to the nobility.The greenlight for Tyranny came about as far as I can tell in the final days before PoE's release. Obsidian had been off-and-on shopping around a pitch for what would eventually become Tyranny to the publisher circuit for a decade. If you want me to speculate, Paradox probably saw all the media buzz and attention around PoE before launch and wanted to get some of the halo effect by having a release from the same studio in the same genre shortly after. If PoE had blown up like say Skyrim or BG3, that probably would have been hugely profitable. Plus they'd have this mega desirable developer in their good graces. However, when PoE release and didn't do gangbusters they hurried it out the door to just be done with it. Again, that's speculation, but as far as I know it lines up.

>>521645915Until this moment that I read your post I had no idea that was Isabelle in that clip. I thought it was some OC they cooked up (I've been out since DA2 so I have no idea what's going on with this shit).
>>521645782You should have cropped the demon next to her
To the anon who was wondering what Obsidian are doing, I saw this on linkedinavowed 2/poe3?
>>521646821They are a person and they are valid, chud.
>>521646375It would've been the best BioWare game of mid to late 00s (would've blown both KotOR and DAO straight out of the water) if only it were able to retain the quality of first three chapters throughout the entire game. But then it hits it own version of VTMB's Nosferatu Warrens in the Imperial Palace and it's only downward from that point.
Not going to lie he's spitting some facts
>>521647003>avowed 2/poe3?How do you get this from the pic? Who is this?
>>521647003Obviously Outer Worlds 2
>>521647464Dunno, it might be DLC instead of a full game anyway.https://www.linkedin.com/in/taylorsimonekennedy/>>521647519If it was OW2, it would probably say that. It's not a secret project.
>>521647731>It's not a secret project.Until very recently it was.
>>521647240He's a fucking retard, says here he's not really going to try and corrupt whatever hatches from the egg, and when you steal the little one instead, he tries to steal it back from you and admits that it's going to be groomed as the next dragon God. Fucking idiot.

>>521645565Agreed.
>>521646821
>>521648423She was white in DAO
>>521648728kek
>>521648728
>>521648773White-ish at best. But still, the change into 2 was huge, I didn't even realize it's the same person until someone pointed it out in a thread.
>>521648728>herThat's gonna be a Bharv, anon
I wanna smooch her.
>>521649092>White-ish at best.This revisionism needs to stop. Its been going on for over a decade now and its plainly a lie for anyone that played the original. If they wanted to do something different with the character or claim the tech wasn't available to do it back then (a lie) then fine, but she was clearly a white girl. He hair color was even radically different.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfFPMlnilxQ
Im playing a shifter in wotr and its op but its boring and you cant even see your own character, what do i respec to bros?
>>521649797>tech wasn't available to do it back thenZevran was kinda swarthy iirc, obvious bullshit.>vidOk, maybe it's the shading then.
>>521649443why
>I no longer receive my powers from the spider godsoh?>now the Goddess Shar grants me wisdomoh...
>>521649797>>521650045Probably depends on gfx settings and lighting IIRC you met her in dim tavern. The cucks at bioware just wanted to do a forced race swap for no reason on such minor character.
>>521648728>heraaaaaiiiiieeeeeeee
>>521651070>body is completely different shade from the head
>>521650816>Tell me, Harper, who was who with your parentage? Father the darthiir, mother the rivvil? Or father human, mother elven? It's always confusing with crossbred mongrels.
>>521648728Gross..........
this guy sounds really nice he surely has no ulterior motives
>>521651070>The cucks at bioware just wanted to do a forced race swap for no reason on such minor character.They wanted to do something better than having a character with generic face straight from character creator, and more tan is consistent with her pirate background.
>>521650816shar is a slightly better pateron for a party of adventurer's cleric to have than lolth, who would demand that her cleric massacre her party for not being drow
>>521648728>we were robbed of a big booty dragon hunter gf for this thingWhat the fuck went wrong? You can tell it was intentional too since the other companions look more or less the same from their concept yet they went out of their way to change the Qunari.
>>521651070This is clearly some kind of graphical issue. The problem is finding old clips on youtube is impossible now as the results are flooded with DA2 and DA:V. She was originally white. If you were around back then then you'd know there was a bit of a hub-bub when the da2 materal started coming out because people didn't think it was the same character from DAO despite the same name due to the completely different look. Of course, back then we didn't have our hackles up as much about DEI/SJW so it was more of a head scratch followed by a shoulder shrug; BW was OUR studio back then and we were more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
>>521652420author self-insert
>>521652420>what went wrongDo not look up project Joplin, it’ll make you even more depressed
>>521652420taash's writer trooned out as a result of a midlife while working on the game
>>521652517Samething happened with PoE with Durance and GM. Look at the original concept art.
>>521652436>https://aicosu.tumblr.com/post/8674926256/you-never-told-us-about-the-da3-spoilers-you-got>He [David Gaider] added that the promo art of Izzy being really pale is actually something that marketing did that was incorrect. She was always meant to be dark. In Origins, she is really dark, but the lighting of the game makes her pale (if you pop her into the model program, she has super tan skin).
When can I expect pillars to get it's turn based mode? I want to give it a try.
>>521652630Ok, give me a qrd
>>521652334Emphasis on slightly. I needed a Cleric, but not bad enough to invite a Sh*rran into my ranks. The 6th slot remains unoccupied for now.
>>521653281End of the year maybe. Nothing really been said about it since it was announced. They’re gonna do feedback with players so there will probably be some beta testing thing you can sign up for
>>521648728why does they/them face feel so "wrong"? Feel like they had the same artists from ME:Andromeda >>521652665sure, but she was just a game director and had no hand in making this character specifically
>>521653405use best girl cleric
>>521652159It's literally who npc in DAO, nothing more than cum dumpster for the player. Why not just make new, fresh character for DA2. >>521652436You maybe? I remember most of /v/ was shitting on DA2 and bioware. Hamburger Helper writer and the atrocious trailer with "you press a button and something awesome happens" gameplay. I didn't even bother that pirate that turd.
>>521645745Possible. What do you think was the number 1 ask that they've decided not to do? More reactivity? Complete rework of the game past act 2?
>>521653374>you’re an agent/spy of the divine sent to bring solas in>inqusitor is a mentor/leader you work with>had a cool submarine boat thing that was your base where you would travel around seeking solas agents to find him>solas has an elf army and is instigating war between the human nations to weaken themselves so he can do a final blow>solas taunts you in dreams and can actually kill you if you fail to resist >hawke returns if left in the fade>actual brutal depictions of slavery in tevinter>more interesting companions including a psycho tevinter mage There’s probably other stuff I’ve forgotten but the game that was planned was miles better than the game that was delivered
>>521643803Join us, anon.
>>521654524Sounds cool except for the submarine - that sounds retarded. And the instigation part. He doesn't care about bringing down human nations, he wants to bring down the veil, I don't see how making huymans fight each other would work into that plan. UNLESS he'd need to perform a blood ritual for that and some huge field of battle is the best way to do it
>>521654902The war parts was to distract the nations so he could complete the ritual but you disrupt it which leads to the elven gods escaping. It was a late game event in this compared to happening at the beginning of the game
>>521652949>(if you pop her into the model program, she has super tan skin)Then I await someone to do just that. Gaider is a notoriously liar.If memory serves you even see Isabela walk out of the bar when you complete her quest (I forget completely what that is) so you see her in "normal light" as well and she looks the same. I intentionally linked a video with Leliana so you can see their skin looks the same in that bright lighting (a common excuse).Besides, even if we want to hand wave that all away. Her hair is still wildly different than later depicitions and would make no sense on a dark-skinned person (DAO has very "grounded" hair color choices).
201 days since the last Rogue Trader DLC
>corrupt gd is neutralThought my alignment would shift to Chaotic Evil. I guess it makes sense though, even Hal doesn't really bat an eye and the way he acts it's as if all dragons have an evil phase they go through or something.
>>521655437What did he lie about?
I'm glad they changed her
>>521655437>Gaider is a notoriously liarHe also stated at one point that Leliana was far more popular than Morrigan which I have a hard time believing. Morrign was basically every 2000s nerd's wet dream. I remember him pulling up some bullshit "data" to prove his claim too. Don't know why the fanbase treats him as the word of god when it comes to DA, especially since a lot of his ideas were scrapped by the other writers and creatives during development.
How do I get to Ulgoth's Beard? Nothing unlocks when going north of the Bandit Camp.
>>521653776>sure, but she was just a game director and had no hand in making this character specificallyyou're thinking of someone else
>>521653776>Feel like they had the same artists from ME:AndromedaWhat studio made that again?
>>521652738how the fuck are Durance and GM Avellone's self inserts?
Let Dragon Age go already, it's dead.
>>521653776Trash looks like a very ugly black woman. Its very odd>>521655929Leliana is a nice girl that automatically beats the snarky mean evil girl. The average gaming normie also isn't obsessed with breeding like you people are.
>>521654321Some of /v/ was shitting, some was hopeful. And /v/ was an even tinier sliver of the gaming populace than now. Also, you'll notice that I said, when the da2 material STARTED coming out, not in the final days before release. We knew about the characters long before we saw a lot of gameplay footage. This would have been post DAO and ME, those were GOOD days and rpg fans were eating good after a bit of a drought.
>>521655929But why would he do that given that he had actually wrote Morrigan, and Leliana was written by Sheryl Chee (who, BTW, had also written Isabela in DA2)?
>>521649443
>>521655929He wrote an absolute masterpiece - Anomen romance
I SERVE THE FLAMING FIST
>>521655712Show me the model and then we can talk
>>521655929>I remember him pulling up some bullshit "data" to prove his claim too>NOOOOOOOOOO THE NUMBERS CONTRADICT MY HEADCANON SO IT'S A LIEembarrassing
>>521656573No, no. I just meant that the characters changed wildly from early concept till when he wrote/designed them.
>>521655929>morrigan fags really be like "she's the most romanced, just don't listen to the dev, or the data!!"lel
>>521656958>Why would Gaider act like a dumbass?Been asking myself the same thing for a long long time, anon. Let me know if you figure it out.
>>521655929Not hard to believe even as a Morriganfag myself, a cute redhead bard isn't easy to resist. Even moreso because Morrigan spends most of the game being a tsudnere pain in the ass towards you. And keep in mind her ending was pretty ambiguous until the witch hunt DLC came out and gave you a happy ending with her while Leliana has a classic "save the day and get the girl" in the base game.It's like with the Witcher where dedicated fanbases are full of Yenfags who spiral into a full blown meltdown if you say anything positive about Triss. But you ask your average dude who played Witcher 3 then you'll most likely get Triss as an answer because she's a hot redhead who doesn't treat Geralt like a dog.
>>521655929>Don't know why the fanbase treats him as the word of god when it comes to DABecause who else are they going to listen to?
The nice girl romance is usually the most popular. Cause male gaymers don't like to be threatened.
>>521657295You said that he's a notorious liar, so there must have been more than one case of him lying about something. So I'm asking what did he lie about? If you don't have any proof to back up that claim, that makes you a liar, not him
Looking clean. Luv me Ankheg Armor.
>>521657779weaklings
>>521656360IIRC you need to go from BG bridge north
>>521657826And I'm telling you to put up first. I'm done entertaining this until you want to actually provide something.
I'm still mad my marriage with Anora didn't go anywhere. But I guess the same can be said for most of DAO's plotlines in the end.
>>521658289Oh, ok, so you don't know of a single case of him lying then. Figured as much
>>521655929>Morrign was basically every 2000s nerd's wet dream.As one of those teenage nerds, I disliked her from the very start. Her constant complaining every time I wanted to help anyone, even people I was helping because I needed them on my side for the alliance, drove me nuts. I quickly parked her in the camp and romanced the nice bard girl. Finding out that so many people not only tolerate Morrigan's bitching, but drool over her, was eye opening.

>>521658384>Manora
>>521658286Thanks
>>521658448>I accept your concessionTrolls used to be better, you all are just so transparent and unoriginal now. At least Gaider had a creative idea every once and awhile.
>>521658925>Baldingthat's what you get for having peasant genes
>>521657721Triss with her alternate outfit is a fucking 10/10. Yen is hot but holy shit she's one of the most unlikable cunts I've interacted with in a game.
>>521659154Triss is disgusting, and her drunken whore act is pathetic
>trilogy sets you up to be with Triss (the second game even forcing you together even if you went with Shani in the first game)>Yen-fags really act like she's the canon choicelol
xan owes me his soulbond unique dagger
>>521658708Morrigan is a retard who thinks she's very high iq. Insufferable.
>>521654524I still hate that Bioware didn't just allow us to play the inquisitor again, the whole setup for DA:I is for the inquisitor to stop Solas and not some random guy/gal. I even feel bad for the women that romanced Solas and literally just got 5 seconds of a kiss at the end of DA:V and nothing else
Leliana won by virtue of simply not being in Veilguard. I feel bad for Morriganfags honestly. Imagine seeing your waifu come back only to act as a completely different character and then get turned into a skinsuit for another character.
Jimmy owes me children.
>>521659521Yes the game should have been about the Inquisitor again. Rook impressing Solas is so forced.
>>521659714mazipan...
Where's our Star Wars CRPG?
>>521659803>rookisn't that the name of a retard from the first game?
>>521659931SWTOR>BG3
>>521659931Star Wars games are dead… it’s over I am curious about the xcom clone being announced next week though
>>521659979No. You mean Sandal?
>>521659931Released 25 years ago. You can buy it on steam and gog
>>521660135Enchantment?
I'm about to throw up
>>521660135No, I mean Rook. A guy from the deep roads
>>521659931Amazing how after all the expansions and shit she's still the best girl with Mako from the Bounty Hunter Origin not far behind.
>>521660330She was the 3rd most romanced btw
>>521660606I wonder how much of those stats was just morbid curiosity. You'd think Harding would be the most popular but the Indian chick was.
>>521659931Dead, sadly.
>>521659931kotor 1 and 2 are both great games and beloved classics, so we should appreciate what we have.swtor also isn't that bad. Don't let the fact that it's an mmo turn you away, it was made by bioware back when bioware was good and has the dna of their rpg's in it. But since your image is from swtor you probably know all about it.I would love a star wars crpg in the same style as rogue trader or bg3. Maybe some day. In the mean time, I've been really enjoying rogue trader. There is allegedly a star wars strategy game that is in development.
>>521660568>>521660740Swtor's two biggest sins were making Vaylin non-romanceable and making her ugly in KoTET.
>>521660294ENCHANTMENT!That scene was generally pretty dark the first playthrough with no idea what was coming.
>>521660729I think most of it was morbid curiosity or for funny youtube vids. Harding is poorly written and a dwarf. Dwarves make normies think they are children.
>>521660729Harding isn't even the same character from DAI. In that game she was an experienced scout and acted like it. In Veilguard she somehow mentally regressed and now acts like a 20 year old college girl with every other thing coming out of her mouth being a shitty marvel movie tier quip.
>>521658384Wasn't there a new project lead for almost every new DA game? DA:O development was led by Brent Knowles who had left BioWare right after the acquisition by EA (because he was against turning Dragon Age into fantasy Mass Effect, so he stepped down and quit), then it was Mark Darrah & Mike Laidlaw's domain during DA2 and DA:I era, and finally it was Dreadwolf/Veilguard clusterfuck.
>>521660606That'd be the "modern auidence" they are always trying to cater to nowadays.
The dialogue options in BG1 are so unhinged. You never know if you'll preach about justice, or do a joke about aloe vera before killing someone. The MC comes off as a whackjob.
>>521661265>Wasn't there a new project lead for almost every new DA game?Pretty sure there was even more than that if you count everyone that left the company mid-production.
>>521661241Thank God I haven't play shitguard. I loved Harding
>>521661431Your choice here has a minor implication later, curious what you decided to do
>>521661431It was a different time. Most of us were still kids and frankly, it was just a more light hearted time (in the western world).
>>521660568I honestly like playing Fem BH and let Mako romance the young teenage boy, feels more appropriate
>>521661813>the young teenage boyWho?
>>521661813Whatever floats your boat anon, I like her with the Male BH and a lot of their interactions are cute. The class stories in general were done well, reminds me of classic Bioware.
>>521661967>I like her with the Male BH and a lot of their interactions are cute.>Haha, I hacked into imperial database and forged marriage papers for us :)
>>521661431wow I can't believe beamdog would add this cringe shit
Cuno
>>521659418There are no "trilogy", there are the original game and sequels. The first game had a complete story, was very slavish to the source material, and I believe it was also under Sapkowski's supervision (IIRC, he also wrote the ending). Then I gather he wasn't interested in doing any more games, so CDPR had more freedom for W2, and that's where you actually see attempts at establishing new things and new characters, at expanding the world.
Lost Chapel is so god damn long
>>521659931>puts the mission but fuckable character on the sith warrior story>now my evil sith warrior is not so evil because he doesn't want to upset her or make her sadthey knew what they where doing
>>521661898Assume he means the Mando who joins late. Forget his name, he's largely forgetable and just shows up late for you to like mentor.
>>521661668There was no investigation and all I had to go on was my girl Jaheira as a character witness, so of course I sided with her forest friends.>>521661739Honestly I was expecting this to be a grim adventure about struggling with divine blood running through your veins. (Which it's kinda trying to do with the dream scenes.) I'm very interested to see if there's a shift in the mood later on and in BG2, or if it sticks to the whimsical routine.
The occasional containers that you can put things in in wotr fuck me up all because of that one in the Stag Lord's old home where you put some herb in and out pops something else.
>>521662834>he doesn't Stockholm her into loving himkwab
>>521661967Its a crime that a story as good as the IA is trapped inside a mediocre mmo.
>>521662873The mandalorian guy? He doesn't show up late. he's a third companion you get. Also I doubt it's him, because he's a romance option for females
>>521663079The side quests are all over the place in BG1, quality wise. BG2 is much better but is more compact
>>521663079It gets more serious towards the end when its actually clear what is going on. I think the sequel does a better job of having a nice balance between humor and drama throughout (except for the intro which is pretty fucking dark).
>>521663079BG1 has a lot more whimsy for sure. BG2 still has Minsc, and also Jan, and some other goofy stuff here and there, but overall I'd say less whimsy.
>>521663164swtor has some gay romances
>>521661530Well, yes, but that would be mostly applicable to Veilguard. Nevertheless, I believe it's good enough reason why every game in the series feels drastically different, and why certain features or plotlines didn't go anywhere.
>>521663164>He doesn't show up late. he's a third companion you get.You see how forgetable he is? I sure as shit remember Blizz and Gault. I even remember the SUPER late bruiser guy (Skud?) who had some funny moments. But the mando apprentice is kinda blank. As for whether or not he is late, I theorize it might seem different to me that played it at launch in comparison to now where there is much more later content and fast leveling. Possible?

>>521661898Torian Cadera https://swtor-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Torian_Cadera Mako starts asking you for dating advice and it's kinda cute when they get together, also Mako feels like a teenager compared too BH and she works better when you play as a father/mother figure to her>>521663164if you don't romance either of them they start dating, like Isabella and Fenris in DA2
>>521663961I'm taking a break from WOTR. Hit act 5 and I'm just exhausted.
>>521663898Yeah, possible. I played it at launch and enevr touched any of the expansions
>>521663678Not the original stuff. They got added later when it was less controversial.Vector Hyliss is one of the few male romance options I've ever actually gotten invested in.
The half sunk tower where you face the dragon in wotr is a neat memorable location.The camera and bounding box is a little fucky in the basement but I like that the basement exists, it's a rare area that has nothing to do with anything and imo all modern CRPGs need a lot more of that.>>521663961sorry babe
>>521664137>BH and she works better when you play as a father/mother figure to herHard to do when she actively lusts over a male BH. Who am I to deny my bounty hunter of his vaguely legal asian gf/wife?
>>521664137>like Isabella and Fenris in DA2That's more like just sex
>>521663961Its because its the weekend and I'm here and talking about it. I haven't played most of the newer games that you lot seem to mainly focus on and I get yelled at when I try to talk about Avowed.
>>521663678KotOR had the first gay romance in BioWare made games.
>>521663961I'm playing RT right now, just not blogposting about it. I do have to remind myself to install Toybox though. I have a harem of Cassia, Jae and Kibbles going on and I don't want to have to choose between them.
Please help me decide between going pure fighter, probably berserker or barb, or fighter/mage for a first playthrough of Baldurs Gate 1 and 2.Playing a pure fighter seems kinda most fitting and heroic I guess. From the couple hours I played the game before though pure martials aren’t all that interesting.Fighter/mage is the cliche munchkin choice but also seems like the actual gameplay would be the most fun, also looks like there are basically hero companions which fulfill that role.
>>521664461"Gay" as in same-sex, not gay as in dude on dude. That still took awhile. Besides the romance with Juhani is pretty tame in comparison to other ones. I'd offer that Mass Effect was the first time that truly comparable homosexual romances were an option. (They even cheated at first since Liara is "only" female by default).
>>521664928If you're going pure martial and are planning to be heroman I'd recommend Cavalier.
>>521663961I'm playing through late game WOTR on Core right now, just killed Mephistopheles and I don't think the game can throw anything I can't beat at this point.
>>521664928Play what sounds fun. Just because something is the "munchkin" choice doesn't mean you have to play it that way. Besides the game isn't that hard that you can't use any build and still do fine.
>munchkinloser buzzword
>>521665082Thought about doing that but paladin seems to give up a lot compared to fighter for mostly defensive advantages. If the games are anything like other crpgs trading iffense for defense is just not worth it.Also the class flavor of fighter appeals more to me, paladin feels overly special. God I'm fucking autistic.
God, ToR has some fucking amazing companions. Every class has some duds, but they also always have some absolutely all-star ones as well.>>521665408Its an old word. If he was looking at sources describing builds it would surprise me if it was full of ancient grognard jargon.
Ranger is by far the best and most soulful baldurs gate class
>>521663158anakin...
>>521665590>ToR has some fucking amazing companions>cries in Sith Inquisitor
>>521665497Go fighter or berserker human, and if you get bored you can dual class in BG2
>>521663961It's always fun to go down the memory lane. BioWare wasn't perfect, but their games were mostly competent and comfy.Although what I don't understand is why there are no successful projects made by BioWare remnants? Remnants of Interplay/BIS had created Troika, inXile and Obsidian, which made dozens of games (some of which are genre classics), while the only successful project made by former BioWare employees that I can think of was The Banner Saga trilogy (and that was made by people from Austin studio, not the Edmonton one).
>>521665497play a calvalier if you want an offensive paladin, you give up the ability to use bows for more melee offensive power
Should I use her or do I get a better mage?
>>521665910Khem Val is okay and I Tremember liking Ashara as a padawan but I also remember her being super whiny and the rest I can't remember at all
>>521666446Her alien bug eyes are so goddamn gross…Also just keep going south to neshkal for either edwin who’s a great mage or minsc who will lead you to a pretty decent oneJust remember to steal neera's gembag before dumping her
>>521666446Just chunk her
>>521666446>people actually romanced this
>>521664928Don't overthink it just go Fighter/mage. It will work nicely too because you'll want to focus on certain kind of spells that a pure mage won't be.Also might I suggest Spell Revisions, I think it's an improvement in every way over vanilla. It's just better. I'd also honestly suggest NPC Project, yes even for a first playthrough. Is it a bit cringy? Yeah sometimes, but so is BG1. Also without it, your companions are almost entirely silent and have like 1 or 2 step quests. Others might disagree and you might not want to mess with mods your first time playing but that's my suggestion anyhow.
Has anyone played Arcanum? Is the early game really balanced around 25% hit rates? The level 3 enemies in the mines in Shrouded Hills are giving me some trouble. Also, how easy is it to fuck up a build? I think my build is a little shitty.
>>521666180Drew Karpyshyn eventually ended up at Archetype after spending a few years writing novels. Maybe they will put out something good but that's yet to be seen. But yeah, I can't really think of anything else.
>>521667413She's a romance? Never knew that.
>>521667534>Has anyone played Arcanum?No, no one has ever played it. You are the first person to ever try to actually play the game. Let us know how it goes.>Is the early game really balanced around 25% hit rates?That seems pretty low. Are you exageratting? I mean, the hit rate isn't amazing early on but I would at least expect 50%.>Also, how easy is it to fuck up a build?Sorta? I mean, depends on what difficulty you are on. Just play your shit and if you get halfway in use a save editor to fix your shit. Don't overthink it. Only really fucked thing I could see is like trying to specialize in buff spells and then dropping your affinity all the way into tech.
>>521667534Just remember that AGI is king and if you are not melee oriented class early. Just rely on your companions. Hope you are playing with at least UAP
>>521668334I did a bit of experimenting, and it seems that if I get the jump on enemies the hitrate does go up. I'm going for melee and guns at the moment, and have a point in explosives. I'm currently trying to find the ingredients to make a molotov and blow the bandits to hell.
>>521667413I'm honestly kind of curious to see what happens, but not nearly enough to actually play through it. Maybe I'll look for a video later.Then again, most of the romances are basically just talking aside from Jaheira's and the vampire event
>>521667421Yeah screw it just gonna go for the fighter/mage. The whole using different spells than most mages thing is true, all the touch spells look neat for example.Probably gonna skip out on any mods for this first playthrough just to see what vanilla is like and honestly from the little I played of 1 before, I liked the companions not constantly having dialogue or a million quests.
>>521667773>eventually ended up at Archetype after spending a few years writing novelsArchetype has yet to release a single game; also, I've read his Revan novel and it fucking sucked, so I'm kind of wary of him as a book writer. In fact, the only reason I'm cautiously optimistic about Exodus is because a) James Ohlen is involved too, b) it's going to be based on a book written by a proper sci-fi author who, apparently, has good worldbuilding skills; if it was only Karpyshyn I wouldn't even bother.
>>521668334>>Has anyone played Arcanum?>No, no one has ever played it. You are the first person to ever try to actually play the game. Let us know how it goes.can you imagine needing to have this kind of a """""win""""" on an obscure indonesian dolly smooching bbs
>>521667534Go all in on your build, not a sort of does everything loser.I had an elf circus freak for massive str, then boosted dex and cha. There's tech Balanced Sword that you can create immediately that is the greatest weapon in the game (until you meet barbarians etc, there use a high damage sword).
>>521670225Yeah, I was going all in on guns, melee and explosives. I think my stats are kind of shit now, but I hear them all being around 8 isnt a terrible thing
>>521670028>Archetype has yet to release a single game;Its shit like this that makes me think I'm dealing with AI half the time in this thread. Did I not just say "Maybe they will put out something good but that's yet to be seen?" Why are you repeating back to me the same thing I just said in different words? At this point I think I'd be relieved to find out its just zoomers who can't sit still long enough to read.>everything elseThat's probably all true. I frankly don't know enough to speak confidently about it. I only followed Drew because I liked the original arc of Mass Effect but I never read any of his books.
>>521669105>Maybe I'll look for a video later.That would be a waste of time, assuming you could sit through the cringeShe's the worst romance by far, and actually leaves you for no fucking reason in the epilogueI only knew of this because I saw pic related and was baffled someone would write that

>>521673308There has been a trend in recent years for younger and younger characters. I figure this might be the influence from JRPGs. Anyways, BG1 was a long time ago and expectations were different back then. That said, I think you are going to far. I would believe 30s, but 40 is too much. Who specifically is that old?
20 year olds were 35 before millennials, okay. Sunshine and no water.

>>521679392No? They are literally made to be hit, they gain wounds by doing so which in turn lets them use their spells While they technically speaking have 25 deflection they shouldn't build to avoid damage and might even dump resolve to help achieve that. Fighers followed by Chanters and Monks have the best base deflection
>>521643317>BG3>Rogue Trader>Disco Elysium>Wasteland 3>Shadow of the Roadseems pretty good to me
>>521679163What is boring about it? It has solid combat and a well-thought out world
>>521680047They wont admit that Baldur's Gate 3 was good for years
>>521680489It was okay. Worth a playthrough for both casuals and crpg fans alike, but not worth replaying or thinking about further. It won't influence the genre positively as devs will only take the wrong lessons from it. Best case scenario we get more funding for crpg games, but it won't happen
>>521680696Case in point
>>521680298Full of classic adventure tropes, but with the twist of everything being le bleak and hopeless. Constant loredumps. Combat feels sterile with barely any visual or auditory feedback and feels like trying to punch someone in a dream. Combat encounters are repetitive and don't challenge your party in different ways, just exist as a time sink.
>>521680489BG3? Well it was a decent 7.5/10 game but I don't know if a 7/10 game will be talked about for a long time plus it's really a 6.5 game considering the cuts and development issues

>>521683116Micromanagement and having a real fighter there to get everyone's attention first. Kind of a humiliating way to play something that's supposed to be a "weapon master" though, so it's not surprising it's mostly used for gimmick dual class stuff
>>521683035name 3 rpgs with an evil path
>>521683035Bg3 has plenty of issues but the combat is relatively fun. Other crpgs have combat so bad it feels more like an obstacle on your path to access dialogue, this is why people replay the game instead of moving to something else. It’s also the same reason there are people that like bg3 but refuse to touch other crpgs
>>521684241Not him but I'm willing to try just for the fun of it. How pedanic are we going to be on what an "evil path" is? For example, my first suggestion would be Mass Effect
>>521684241fallout 2arcanumbg3
Playing a tard and backing Caesar’s Legion is the only time I’ve had fun being evil in a game. Most of the time it’s “Me don’t give a fuck. Now you die.” and then trudging through some trashmobs to complete a quest I could resolve in 2 dialogue checks

I’m in the process of separating origins into different stages. A type of checkpoint system used to develop the perfect strategy, with one goal in mind. Creating the most successful hero during the 9th age of thedas. Currently the route looks like this. -lowest level companions -an xp grind, before a gold grind. For maximum profit from chest resetting, we want to reach a warden level in increments of 3. -do brecillian forest first(even before the fade) to unlock a higher warden level for even more gold. -mage tower is second, because rogue is kinda useless without it. Although one problem here is there’s not much skippable content in the mage tower. The route would really rather do this place later. But if you can’t get lethality, rogue sucks. -after this. We chase bis drops in order from biggest impact to our parties damage. Grandmaster runes, dead thiag shanker, legion of the dead armor, warden commanders boots, warriors ring, all skill tomes and spell tomes and attribute tomes. -we will be getting oghrens stuff LAST, as he won’t even join our party until probably 3 main quests are complete. -doing big reward quests after mage tower. Crime wave, smuggling the lyrium to Godwin requires 50 cunning, we should be very close to that. -paralysis runes definitely will look good in our offhand slot. I was using dweomer but im changing that around with the brecillian strategy. So with all this in mind. The goal is to get oghren worthy of bringing into our party. To make oghren outperform a second rogue, we kinda need to take some points into cunning. Which is going to ruin our oghren. Definitely an oversight was giving stealing a cunning requirement. But he’s still going to out dps lelianna once he gets his stuff. I’m having second thoughts about oghren. His boss DPS is very high end game, he will kill all unranked in 1 hit probably. So one idea here is to bring him once we dont need to steal anymore. After we buy everything we need.
>>521702379Alas, she is in possession of a statuette made out of this "adra". And it seems that watcher is an oft-imitated title in this world...
>>521702646So, this is Duke wolf-grin's city.More ruined than I would have expected, and the guard is lax.
>>521702404The benefit to stealing from combat npcs is gold and additional xp used for the supply crate like runes, gems and low level crafting materials. One rogue can easily be enough to steal from the elites, but if we want to steal from every lower ranked enemy we really want at least 2 stealers, probably 3 is ideal or else we just wait around too much for steal to come off cooldown. One good thing is once we dont need to steal anymore, we also wont need a tank. So our final party composition will just be 4 very high dps characters. But to actually get to that point, you cant fuck around early game.
>>521702857So, finally an explanation of what this 'animancy' is.The question is: am I guilty of this witchery as well?
>>521703083The crowd is restless.But this dozen seem like a bunvch of unlicensed rabble-rousers.There is faint and narrow chance that this is like Magnus and colleges of magic. It would be good to talk with Duc, now that I am landed nobility. And ask him if why he couldn't find less profane means of magic patronize.
>>521703278How typical. Trinkets, spell components, profane talismans, wyrdstone dust. There are always fools that support profane witchery for filthy lucre.
>>521703547It seems that the dozen draw their name from a group of famous martyrs. And the norscan brute-and-cultist is not fond of them. Another notch for their belt.Why is there no option of calling them based for being against animancy? Least positive option is to maybe imply that Maegran may not actually like them.

>>521704171Does less damage than fire + doesn’t freeze. You just have romance leftover from your abusive relationship with arpgs.
>>521704171I never really cared for focusing on elemental stuff, but usually fire has the coolest spells and most variety of them
>>521705060And this is it.They boast and preen as if I didn't know who their unholy master is.But for now, they are too amny and have the Duc and rest deceived. I spit on the floor and leave... maybe their stolen scroll will reveal what their plan here is.

I wouldn't really consider myself to be a "romancefag", as in I generally don't really care one way or the other but I'll do it if it's there.However, I have found that games that don't include it at all, I will often miss it. I guess it's one of those things where you don't really care until it's gone.
>>521714324It's simply just one of those little details that makes a game feel more fleshed out.I don't want NPC X to look at the camera and forgive me for bullying Jenny Nicholson in the 9th grade, but if I'm friendly and flirtatious with NPC X it'd be realistic if they/I made a move.

Quite surprised the achivo completions for optional bosses on Core is so low, I thought everyone was a real gamer already but me.
>>521719489>priest of woedicamy autism just cannot understand why a watcher would ever worship her though I suppose you can give her souls at the end of POE1 if you want>>521720313I like them. Some are fun and can be useful like the infamous captain or the skill/attribute bonuses. I like the one that clears the map so I don't have to. Eder pet one is handy too.
>>521720926Personally I consider the map clearing one the one I'll never pick since that's just one less way to keep track of what I've don
>>521721118That is true. There are lots of mini islands you can miss but I've played it enough that I just want to see the whole map in full as I generally know where I'm going.
This is the week we get Lex Imperalis and Avowed news anons. I can feel it.
>>521720926>my autism just cannot understand why a watcher would ever worship herI'd say even willingly coming to the Dyrwood in the first place before any of the plot events take place makes that a difficult thing to justify. I don't think Pillars really gave a lot of options to do so. If you decided to back her up for promises for power at the end I don't think it's too absurd in Deadfire though
>>521682585/meg/ will be soon up if rumours are true new ME will be revealed this year on N7 dayI hope it's not another mobile game or remake
>>521721391This is the week I'll be playing an arcane archer. Or get sucked into a new Deadfire run

>>521721594ME /v/ threads are enough for me desu, there isn't much left to genuinely discuss.
>>521721594At this point I don't know why anyone would trust Bioware management to not butcher it. They have no fucking idea what they're doing and they've let go basically everyone from OG Bioware now.
>dollies kissing is a large part of owlcat games>they even made a dlc that is about more dollies kissing>massive success, they've expanded their studio into publishing now and have 7 simultaneous projects>Josh "no romances" Sawyer>refuses to just say numbers, insists vague statements like "pillars was profitable" despite the lower numbers>hasn't made a mainline game in a while, did not lead Avowed>Avowed similarly refuses to state outright numbers, just says "it's popular on game pass, we're happy">the fate of the studio was up in the air for a long time, unsure of the future and refusing to give exact numbers while insisting the games are doing well looks badRegardless of you how you feel about romances in videogames, the majority of paying customers have clearly voted with their wallets.
>>521721391>avoid newsNobody cares lul. Game couldn't even maintain a not-general on /v/ for a couple of days

>>521723286>I'm a pillarschad for lifebased brother
So should I play through the ashes before the main game? Since it's kind of a side story and/or prequel? If not, when should I play it?Same question for the rest of the dlc too I guess. Are they integrated naturally or what. I know Masks is kind of an epilogue.Also I'm going to be playing 100% turn based mode. I've started and quit and restarted this game several times over the years, but I think the game being "done" as in all dlc released will make me more inclined to stick with it, and I'm also seeing if turn based mode makes me like it more as well.
>>521723382It’s cringe. BG3 is the outlier because CRPGs are never mainstream big sellers. Steam charts threads are a cancer
>>521723723I'm guessing you can get it later, but normally you would just get the results of a completed Through the Ashes run after the tavern defense. As for lord of nothing I think it's a part 5 command room eventInevitable Excess' thing is given to you as soon as you get mythic 1 iirc (honestly I never use that ability), but there's a handful of powerful items scattered throughout the game you get from it if you played on higher difficulties. The first is in the graveyard Sosiel has you go to. The second is by Playful Darkness. I think the third is after fighting Baphomet somewhere around there, but I might be wrong. There's also something you can get if you played a lich in Inevitable Excess, but I've never bothered
>>521721391>AvowedWhat news are you expecting? DLC?
>>521724112They teased avowed news a while back, but haven't delivered. Other than DLC I can't imagine what else there could be to say about it though
>>521724112The roadmap they announced a month ago. They must be planning some content if they’re releasing a roadmap
Every time I replay DAO I try to do a different origin and then remember how boring everything other than mage is to play and restart before I make it out of Ostagar.
>>521724172>>521724212Interesting. I haven't really followed any Avowed news since I have yet to play it.
>>521724232Mage origins is quite boring though. The gameplay of a mage moggs all classes though which is the same in all DA games.
>>521724272It’s good fun but wait until the roadmap is released and completed for all content, whatever it may be
>>521723382Good thing avoid is not a crpg, so I can laugh at its failure
>>521724232Mage origin is boring and has no real reactivity in the world. Noble is the best because it just makes the most sense and slots in the best, especially in Awakening
>>521722515>/v/
>>521724626>that noble rivalry vs Nathaniel in awakenings KINOOOOOO
>>521724626Noble is just as generic and boring as mage. They have about the same amount of reactivity too.

is there anything worth getting in blackwater 10 minutes in and i don't like this
Spell master or Thassilonian Specialist necromancer?
>>521725238/vrpg/ could have been a good board but its attracted the most miserable autists on the planet.They've scared all the normal (normal for rpg fans at least) people away.Its like an entire board populated by froggy level losers.
normalshits don't belong in crpg discussionsI miss frogolonz
My one problem with human noble is why the fuck is Duncan even there? He admits he really wanted (you) as a recruit but why the fuck would he possibly think a noble family would give up their kid?
>>521725615Yeah it's a really shit board and it reminds me of an official forums like the old BSN days. Too slow as well to have good discussions.
>>521725776He was doing the rounds for recruitment and he actually visits all the origins doing this, you find texts showing he was in every one of them but only arrives at the vital point for the origin you pick.
>>521725308There's some helmet that gives a natural attack and some bracers or something that are kind of essential if you want to make an electric damage focused caster. I don't think there's anything on a character/story/campaign level there at all that's worth anyone's time
>>521725776He recruited Jowry and Daveth, he didn't have standards at that point and was clearly just looking for people who are capable of pointing something sharp at the enemy. It makes sense he'd visit an estate with many trained knights
does this seem about right?
>>521726341Yeah seems fine enough. Maybe Spell Penetration is a bit premature but you'll need it eventually so might as well get it now
>>521726341>name: niglor
Is gold dragon necromancer good?
I don't get how people can play thassilonian specialist, no cantrips seems like cancer.

>>521722653I hope bioware dies shitting out this supposed new ME spinoff game before they ruin shepard forever with the ME4 sequel
>>521727927There's a spin off being made? I thought it was just the ME4 game that was teased years ago with Liara.
sawyer really cucked most self inserters and waifu fags there are still people who seethe that cass cucks the courier in the end
>>521728025She fucks you and then leaves under certain circumstances, or just goes on with her life otherwise. I guess alternatively she's dead. I don't see how any of those would apply
>>521728009nothing official but people have been digging around biowares activities and through job listings they found out that bioware was working on 1 more unnamed mass effect project other than ME4 that was teased long agothis was right after ME LE so there is no chance of that being mass effect remakeso the only conclusions rn is that they're either making a spinoff in andromeda again or a prequel
>>521728805>spinoff in andromeda again
>>521648728Mortisimal Gaming said it's good and fun true RPG tho, so I like it

>>521729542Are literally any pale elves not from some frozen shithole? You'd think there would at least be rare ones all over the place. If one was in Aedyr it's not far fetched
>>521729698I think they're the most stationary and secluded race that never really leave their home.There are a few you meet but they're rare and I think they're all flagged as the white that wends culture. There will undoubtedly be some that are in the other areas of the world and there was none in Avowed that I can remember either. Their home is far from everything else as well which explains their rarity.
>>521729259Bioware doesn't even have multiple development teams anymore
all this ME and tv show talk makes me want a Lexx CRPG

>>521731094>you're a joke foreverNot a problem. When he dies of shame, he is just reborn again with his memories and knows not to do that again.
Do you think Thaos ever reincarnated in a girls body and whored himself out for a couple of years before resuming his plan?
>>521731485>before resumingNo, it was all a part of the plan
>>521730037Is Rauatai really that big? That feels contradictory to how people describe it
>wotr has hats>makes characters baldIf there's one pet peeve graphics thing I have it's this. Turns that one cool dhampir inquisitor pic into Jarlaxle in game.
>>521732351It's a fan map so I don't think it's official but I think it matches the other stuff that's been released. Wasn't the issue with Rauatai that it's arid land that gets battered by storms and not it's size?
>>521732936the curse of swtor has infected other games it seems
>>521733039It's a pretty common shortcut games take, but it always looks bad

>>521666905>>521667413I just replace every portrait I dont like with some random shitI think I used this for her last time I played
>>521730454It is as possible as doing another game like Fallout 2 (which is probably the closest thing to Lexx in terms of spirit overall). Although it would be incredibly cool to have something like Star Control 2 but set in Lexx universe.
>>521733384soulless
>>521733384great, now she looks even more out of place.I just kill her and take the gem bag from her corpse. Edwin the goat is the only mage I need.
Also, speaking of Lewdxx, what are the most lecherous cRPGs ever made? Fallout 2 and The Witcher 1 to some extent? BioWare games do not count, IMO they aren't filthy enough.

>>521734194oh yeah. this game. sure. I know what we're talking about.
I like how the mindflayer equivalent in this world isn't 100% evil. They seem cool.
>>521734632Not many fantasy races end up being nicer when you turn them into spider monsters, but I guess that's mindflayers for you
>>521734632they're interesting but disgusting. Death to all spiders
>>521734838thisfuck those fuckers after that fight in the FS dlc
>>521734534my apologies, I was under the impression everyone has already played it here except meit's Expeditions Conquistadors
>>521734979I don't think I ever actually played Forgotten Sanctum
>>521735117It's great and has lots of good lore and archmage bullying. Beast of Winter is really good too. The only shit DLC for both pillars is seeker, slayer, survivor.
>>521735205On one hand I'm sure I have a save prepped to do it, but on the other I don't remember a single other thing I did with that character
>>521733682You have to be completely soulless to add anime portraits to a crpg.Its just wrong, I'll take ugly pictures of the developers over this shit any day.
>>521735205SSS is definitely not worth the extra moneybut as it is included with the complete or whatever editions it's far from being shit if you enjoy the combat
>>521735485some of the trials were fun but some were fucking painful. I remember getting destroyed by one of the animat challenges that didn't seem to end but overall the DLC was lacking.
>>521735114oh I forgot they made that. only ever touched Vikings out of the series, but I didn't get far cause the setting didn' land for me.
I can't help but kek at my Smilodon doing Crane Style.Fucking... Kung Fu Sabertooth. Reciting some Confucian poetry.
>>521735841How do animal companions get access to Monk styles?
>>521735925If you can't get them after giving them 3 int you could at least get them with trickster bullshit
>>521735925Int 3, Improved Unarmed Strike and the other required feats.
>>521736057I take that back, you don't need int for it.I have Seelah's horse with higher int for teamwork feats. Got them mixed up.
>>521736173No I take back the take that back, you do need it
>>521725025Human noble is the best because of the power of blood talents. Youre forced to play rogue. Dwarf noble is the second best, because it gives you like 35gold and also the lowest xp (you can skip pretty much every enemy). Also if you play dwarf commoner, he’s not there next to leske. Which is boring because thats like the most shocking scene in dao.
>>521733654F2 is the most nutty for sure, so many ways to whore yourself out, even as a male PC. Selling every companion into slavery and stuff too, you can get real nasty. Gothic series has some dark fantasy moments here and there. Pathfinder not that horny, but grimdark for sure.EU needs to step up in RPG making, they are less puritan then amritards, so we can get some fun stuff. Hopefully Witcher, WotR, BG3 and Disco inspires more devs
I think I used this as Nalia once
>>521737036Oh and arcanum for dat juicy racism
>>521725025Finally dwarf commoner at the top where they belong.
>>521733823It's not just about who you can fuck, it's about the writing overall. In Fallout 2 sex is literally *everywhere*, which is especially noticeable if you're playing as a female character with somewhat decent Charisma, you can't get away from it even if you refuse to ever get laid. And The Witcher 1 counts not because Geralt there can just fuck a dozen of women just by getting them drunk enough, or giving some valuable gifts, or even giving an off-hand lewd compliment, but also because the explicit sexual imagery is pervasive throughout the game world and heard coming from mouths of most NPCs, male and female. Then compare it with BioWare games: sure, you can fuck everyone and their mother in those, but for the most part dialogue is properly sanitized, and horniness allowed only in romance route (and in some very rare exceptions, or only for certain characters, like Vicky in BG2). Now, I don't know anything about BG3, because I haven't played it yet, but because it's being written by predominantly woke crowd I doubt it's particularly salacious, because people like that are usually too prudish to properly pull off that sort of writing, and sex in their games added mostly due to a) its popularity among the target audience; b) ticking some representation boxes; c) being someone's fantasy or fetish; d) plain spitefulness; so, it's just a superficial icing on top of the cake instead of being THE cake.
>>521737419Witcher wins just for having an embarrassing porn game tier sex card collecting system
>>521737036>Gothic series has some dark fantasy moments here and thereNo. Gothic had everything that Witcher series has, BUT EXCEPT SEX, because they're zee Germans.
i fucking love gnomesFUCK halflings
>>521736434Power of blood sucks for mages. Warrior is okay but you can just flame blast oghren instead. So the idea is to get your warrior very low on hp. And bloodthirst is -10 hp/2. Aura of pain is also -10 hp/2. Which seems like it would really help keeping the maximum damage bonus going. You do miss out on precise striking if you do this, but you’ll have an extra 5% AS and also plenty of talent points for perfect striking. Furthermore, DPS war does more damage than a rogue endgame (im pretty sure). Youd probably still prefer being a human noble for a warrior though, im pretty sure combat stealing is worth the cunning investment. It’s like 5 points into cunning, and this will save you so much time. Stealing has such a long cooldown it’s kinda bullshit. One idea is to just not bring a tank or a healer, because 2 rogues will be much more damage (song of courage is a better buff than stone form). But then you can’t flirt with death. It feels so bad to invest points into cunning but there’s not really any way around that. It feels really stupid killing things in 0.3 seconds, then waiting 10 seconds with everyone on hold position and with their auto attack gambit on which doesn’t even always work and sometimes they will just start killing things. Lots of common enemies drop 25s or more, so missing out on that type of currency is huge. Thatll be like a full endgame item which is more dps than +5 str would be.
>>521695252I wonder if Galfrey would romance you after you give her the aeon treatment

>>521738891Would be hilarious to play Gus 'de Joos on some hardcore roleplay server
>>521737419I've only played BG3 once, as a Dark Urge, there is a lot of sex and violence throughout the game. They do it straight for the most part. The above mentioned threesome with dark elf siblings has different reaction from companions. You get to perform some wild shit as a durge, like snapping dark elf chick's neck right after nutting into her. They didn't shy away from spicy topics and got them properly written out, I feel.Not sure what exactly you see as authentic written lewd vs woke catering, but I rarely notice woke shit besides obvious examples desu, so mb I'm easily impressed >>521737659iirc Gothic 1 had bdsm slave girls, and a girl taking a bath. Yeah, its wasn't much at all
>>521738158Nurse, meds!
>>521738183If you make her stay in camp act 2 and comment on her good looks despite the age, the dialog instantly ends, she is quite concerned with her looks lol

>>521740825You're following a "who's your superior" breadcrumb trail and seeing dreams of death. Yes.A vast amount of the game is just adventures in the wilderness, the story tightens up towards the end.

>>521721594I would actually love to have a proper remake of the first game, instead of it getting that half-hearted treatment in LE. Just do it from scratch, ME1 was actually a bad videogame per se, it was interesting mostly because of its worldbuilding (even despite heavily ripping off Babylon 5), characters (Ashley in ME1 is probably the most complex and multifaceted character ever written by BioWare; it was so distasteful how they're hollowed her out in ME3) and some memorable atmospheric sequences (like Ilos). You can redo all of that in UE4/5 with much better core gameplay, character development and exploration. This is the reason why remakes should exist, to fix flawed gems, not to regurgitate perfectly fine ones.
>>521742519Them leaving it alone and only making tweaks is the best possible choice they made with the remaster.
>>521742519Mass Effect 1 is fine. I don't see what a remake would do. Origins is more in need of a remake/remaster.
>>521741937>>521742063larloch "only" goes to 32, at least according to the wiki. Karsus might have made it to 40, but I'm not sure if he ever got a statblock.
Picking female gender in crpg should lock your alignment choice to neutral/chaotic evil.
>>521742816I completely disagree. While ME1 was diamond in the rough, DA:O is probably one of the most wholesome and polished games BioWare has ever made, even if not particularly original or inspired. Sure, there's a room for some technical enhancements, but that's about it. Now, DA2 would be a good option for a proper remake, because the game wasn't completely hopeless, but it would require A LOT of work to unfuck that mess.
>>521743483The only thing DA2 needs is more location/enemy variety and maybe more setup for the rebellion so it's not just Orsino going crazy because some manager said they needed more bosses.
>>521725025Swap dwarf commoner and dwarf noble and I can agree with yougod I love city elf (female)
>>521744269Did she get raped or was going to get raped? I don't remember.
>>521743904>The only thing DA2 needs is more location/enemy varietyWhat it needs is a complete overhaul of combat system (somehow return more tactical approach without sacrificing the dynamic gameplay), complete revamp of locations (Kirkwall doesn't feel like a proper city because basically a giant cave-like location with a sky), redo the items (why do modern cRPGs even have junk items?), redo the god-awful interface, some rewrites would also be nice (but hardly possible because of the voice acting). You make it sound so simple, but you forget that DA2 was a genuinely bad game with some interesting but underdeveloped ideas hidden within; not a good, but hastily put together one.

Recall that the dwarves that also live there only know a bit about them.
>>521749027which cprg characters would make sense in an anime?
>>521747401>>521690768>That only affects spells from the Bloodrager spellbook, so no, you can't get a dip to cast spells in heavy armorAre you sure? When I did my sorcerer/eldritch knight lich run, steelblooded worked on everything.
>>521749731this sounds like just the kind of incompetence you could expect from Owlcat, so I believe it. do you have the build saved somewhere? I was planning something similiar, but with Eldritch Knight and Hellknight Signifier to get arcane failure chance reduction.
>>521749560All of them because Dungeon Meshi is a thing and the creator is a crpgfag
>>521749560arue
>>521738158Power of blood is best on roguesNot going to read the rest of your drivel
>>521749557>I took Ryngrim to be oneI can see that though the pale elf complexion is more of a pale grey/blue white from memory, whilst hers isn't and she has black eyebrows as opposed to white. But she does live in a giant ice box that she said is based on her home, so maybe that's the bigger clue.
>>521750741Isn't purple eys also a pale elf thing?
>>521750741Eyebrows is a good call, didn't think of that.>>521750896Yeah, already brought that up.
>>521750896I just checked the wiki and it is a feature of pale elves compared to normal elves, though it could be a magic thing. Though you can pick that colour to be your eye colour as en elf in avowed but that doesn't really mean anything. I'm leaning towards it now that she is a pale elf
I avoid picking a female dolly because crpgg would make fun of me
>>521751118One on right has skin rather like Ryngrim.Same thing here with Ydwin
I made my watcher a death godlike from the white that wends because it seemed hilariously tragic to be born a pale elf in that society as the 'chosen' of the wrong death god
>>521747614heh *casually deflects*
>>521751397I like that though considering how miserable and sore Vantir constantly is, that's probably a blessing.

>>521752395That wouldn't stop people.

>>521752809garrus has a cloaca
>>521752809That's not colonist
>>521749887>do you have the build saved somewhere?Wasn't anything fancy. Class breakdown was just steelblooded 1/sorcerer 4 / dragon disciple 4 / eldritch knight 10 and then I went legend. Respecced the steelblooded levels into primalist beforehand because I wanted to access pounce.
>>521752201Objectively it's a retarded move and you probably doom the galaxy to another war, but I still did it.

Are you #TeamMassEffect or #TeamDragonAge?https://www.eurogamer.net/biowares-mass-effect-and-dragon-age-teams-didnt-get-along-former-dev-claims
>>521753646It's a tough call. In theory I like DA more, but in practice it only has 1 good game while ME has 3.
>>521752809Someone post the Garus cum comic

Lann a cute
What would you want out of a hypothetical science fiction/space fantasy setting?
>>521754086Y tho? Shill himI literally never picked him in any of my playthroughs
>>521753646It's impressive how Bioware management manages to fuck up literally everything. Everyone thought the problem was EA but from everything that's come out it's always been this bad. Even back when their games were good.
>>521754254I think his personality is friendly and cute. He’s light hearted and not serious
>>521754256Think it’s a disgusting combination of both EA and BioWare that is the fault
>>521754180cute alien girlstodd is retarded
>>521754180Sexy spaceships and starfighters
>>521754180Space western feelIt can be confined to a single planet in a backwater region, I just like it existing somewherehttps://youtu.be/5RmM57wicb4
>>521754695I'm sure some of EA's stupid marketing choices and sales targets have something to do with it but the constant horrible mismanagement and insane crunch was all them. It's how they always made their games and as their games got bigger and more complicated the ~bioware magic~ of throwing together a game in the last year of dev just couldn't keep up.
>>521754180More Science but not to srs. Not have gazillion characters and places to remember, I've been memorizing this shit for decades, I'm tired boss. Soul and flavor like Firefly has. Mystery that won't be solved. Authors respecting the setting and not shoving their special Vison and ebin characters for no reason (this one is impossible). Sex only with alien babes.
>>521753646dragon age origins took like 7 years. I imagine a few worked on dragon age 2 and dragon age 1 but effectively the sequels were developed by entirely different people that had little to do with the one okay game
uhm, management for veilguard was fine sweetieit's why wizards of the coast hired her right away
>>521755743Being able to actually ship that game in complete state is genuinely impressive.
Pure Dragonblood Shifter, Demon into Corrupted Gold Dragon fun?
>>521753646Pre Veilguard?Dragon Age, by a huge margin.Far more interesting world.Post Veilguard?I'll wait and see how the new ME game is.

>>521759465Funny meme game but I only played arena and never the "campaign".>>521759670I remember there being a cope with KM since something about River Kingdom rules but not in WOTR.
>>521754254He's a nice, chill dude who, despite his casual attitude, isn't naive or dumb and is pretty pragmatic. Like most of his advices at war table are along the lines of "soldiers need food? Teach them how to fucking forage so these cucks stop complaining" etc.

>>521752856>In what was once a throne room, you recline casually on a chair watching Anevia try and free herself from the webs that cover her hands and legs.>There was no logical reason to keep her alive. If anything, the swarm has spent more energy trying to catch her unharmed that it would get by devouring the poor woman. And yet...>Some vestige of your thought to be discarded humanity stayed your hand. It wouldn't be the first time you showed mercy to your former comrades - at least to those who didn't try to kill you. And Anevia did exactly that, together with a bunch of other desperate souls with nothing left to lose.>All they got was mouths full of webbing and a hefty dose of neurotoxin that left them all comatose, lined up in Drezen's prison like sacks of potatoes.>As you observe Anevia, whose clothes are ravaged to the point where they don't cover even half of what they are supposed to cover, try and wiggle her way to a discarded knife, you feel uneasy.>Hatred and rage that brought you back from the dead aren't burning as bright as they used to. Instead, apathy is setting in. Xanthir Vang was a short-sighted buffoon, and Deskari was a slave to his own nature as a demon lord, but you don't have anything to prove, nor are you motivated by wounded pride and envy.>Anevia finally manages to grab the knife, but has to discard the remnants of her shirt in process. You still don't move. In fact, you haven't moved an inch in what must be an hour, which is why Anevia has decided to try and escape in the first place.>The hunger didn't go anywhere, but it doesn't dictate your every move anymore. This change was... unexpected. Alarming. The only logical course of action would be to delve deeper into the intricacies of your form, before you change yet again and try to repent or something.>The mere thought of ASKING someone for forgiveness makes you twitch in rage, humming of myriad of wings suddenly turning into nightmarish screeching.
>>521759465sui generis soon. trust.>>521759850>only played arenayou missed out on some major dungeon crawling kino
>>521752856>Anevia instantly freezes in place, knife clutched in her hands; she's afraid, but she's also angry. She turns to you, half-naked, dirty, desperate, yet still ready to fight.>You slowly float closer to her, barely bothering to keep a humanoid shape. An idea starts forming in your mind as you gaze at her feminine curves. Experiments have to start somewhere, right? After careful consideration, you finally speak.>You were comrades in arms once. Without Anevia's help you wouldn't be able to transcend past your mortal flesh. And yet she tried to harm the Swarm. She will have to pay for that.>Towering over Anevia, you make her an offer. She dies a quick, painless death from an insect bite, and then her flesh is used to sustain the Swarm, same goes for all the captured prisoners. This is as much mercy as she's going to get from you.>...Or she agrees to carry a certain amount of eggs in her womb, and when they hatch, she will be released together with every other prisoner, unharmed.>You take grim pleasure in watching Anevia's face contort in horror and disgust. Eventually she manages to gather enough willpower to speak.>And tries to haggle. That takes you by surprise; amused by her reaction, you indulge Anevia's attempts at brokering a more favorable deal.>It takes some time, but eventually she agrees to bear your brood, twice the amount you originally planned to implant, but at the cost of all prisoners being released immediately. You don't know what made you agree to that, but suspect that the same sliver of humanity that made you spare Anevia once again has reared its ugly head.>Sometime later, Anevia lies down strapped to a modified operating table, clearly not expecting to live or stay sane for much longer. By that point captives are escorted out of Drezen by swarms of vescavors and cultists, and you are fully engrossed in preparations for the upcoming experiment. Then, finally, you begin, eager to see the outcome.
>>521760639did that gnome just delete a demon with a ray of frost?
>>521760674>Someone actually saved it
>>521759670I like that one of the first things you learn in disco is that there's a sterotype of revacholians (IE you) being kleptos that pick random shit up. its a funny nod to players (me) being kelptomaniacs who take everything not nailed to the floor in vidya
>>521752856>A few of the bigger insects dutifully rip apart what's left of Anevia's clothes, making her squirm and shake uncontrollably. At your command, a centipede-like creature slithers forth and bites Anevia's left arm>She screams, but, as venom begins to infuse her bloodstream, falls silent. In smaller doses this substance should ease the pain and numb the skin. You make a mental note to breed more of these centipedes>Out of darkness crawls yet another creature, this one looking like a cross between a vescavor and a tarantula. Anevia, half-insensate, still can't stifle a whimper of terror as this thing climbs up her body. Whimper turns to sobbing as insect gets closer to her face, but the sound dies out when a tube-like limb worms its way into Anevia's mouth and eventually throat. Squelching sound is heard as viscuous liquid is being forcefully pumped inside and Anevia reflexively swallows it>You feel a bit of satisfaction. It wasn't easy even for you to adapt certain fluids excreted by larvae into being not only safe for human consumption, but also to act as a mild hallucinogen and aphrodisiac>Anevia's thrashing stops relatively quickly, and she obediently consumes every drop of fluid offered. Her cheeks begin to turn red, her eyes glaze over and her breathing becomes ragged. Insect crawls away, its job done. Anevia is ready>Sound of chitinous legs on stone heralds the arrival of your main instrument. A wasp-like creature, almost as big as a human, gracefully positions itself on top of the operating table, its hind limbs spreading Anevia's legs with ease. A long ovipositor forms at the tip of its abdomen and pokes against Anevia's entrance>Even under the effects of several different substances, she manages to form an almost coherent sentence. She begs you to just kill her instead of... this. You, of course, ignore this noise, completely focused on what's about to happen. Failure will mean going back to the drawing board, and you would rather not do that
>>521760639My suggestion is to do a bit of Act 1 just to get a feel for what's going on in the story if you're newif you're not new: Before the Tavern Siege, doesn't matter when
jesus christ you guys
>>521752856>The ovipositor slides inside Anevia, the creature deftly working it's appendage in such a way that it doesn't hurt the future incubator. Anevia's pleas intensify when the first egg starts making its way into her body, but the process is successful.>You allow yourself a small triumphant chuckle. Not even drow fleshwarpers would've been able to make such extensive and incredibly precise changes to a living creature in such a short amount of time.>But this, of course, is just the first egg of many. Anevia, to your mild amazement, still tries to struggle as one more egg goes inside.>Then Anevia bites down her lip, trying stay silent as wasp continues to pump the eggs into her womb.>Her resistance starts to die out quickly enough, however; her sobs turning to groans of embarrassed pleasure.>Eventually she gives in to lust, thrusting her hips together with the rythmic movement of the ovipositor and shamelessly screaming in delight.>By the end of implantation process, Anevia is completely out of it, mindlessly caressing her distented belly, empty smile on her lips. After carrying her to what used to be your quarters, you lose all interest and go back to your laboratory.>Time passes, and eggs are safely ejected right before they actually hatch. If they did that while still inside Anevia, the results would've been messy to say the least. Also she wouldn't be able to carry the second batch, one you already tinkered with in your Insectarium made from what was used to be Drezen's chapel.>Something tells you that Anevia won't be as scared and unwilling the second time around.
>>5217596701)Do you know what being a soldier(or an "adventurer") not in the american army in 2025 was like? It was miserable, you looted, razed, took mercilessly https://youtu.be/ZffbG4Om34U?si=6cmDDMnIiK8KSn1q

>steal from the homes of poor strangers>loot corpses>kill people on the thinest justifications>do anything for anyone who asks>betray people constantly >never keep my promises>rob gravesStill a good alignment btw because I refused the payment of the peasant I just robbed, because I knew the game would reward me anyway

>>521763353Is that Seelah quest at market square? was one of the most out of pockets dialogs. You just strolled through the place yoinking shit from dead crusaders and citizens and game tries to make this whole thing about it out of nowhere.
>>521763334As you should, well done!
What's wrong with robbing corpses anyway It's not like they give a shit anymore
>>521763353Yeah its a retarded but I think its to establish that Curl is untrustworthy/slimy
how would you feel if a loved one died, and when you ID the body its been stripped naked and robbed leaving you nothing to remember them by? your robbing them of their dignity

i'm Nano's brother, as you know i've been playing with his account for some time now on Sona. i'm writing here to inform everyone who may care that nano passed away, we held his funeral on tuesday. the only reason im writing this here is that whenever i told him how people after months still wrought about how good nano was and some wrote how he was the best hunter etc. That statement always made him smile and i think its fair you all should know about whats happened so you may, even if you didnt have the pleasure of meeting him in game say a little prayer for him. He was a good soul and i know many of you who met him in game would agree. i want to thank you from his behalf for giving him many months of true pleasure in wow. thank you.
>>521761173Of all things that I've ever written on 4chins, of course this one in particular will be saved and reposted years later. Naturally.At least I had sense to not post the sequel.

If Larian ends up doing their own original IP or tweaks Rivellon for a space setting, I'm certain it will be Starcraft-inspired on some level with how much Swen likes the IP

>>521771935I hope you can create alien races then. It's pathetic that the last star wars get to let you play as an alien was SWTOR around 15 years ago
>>521769426I can't. I'm phoneposting and it's going to be at least a week before I will be able to shitpost properly. Plus the thing itself its rather blandly written.>inspiration well the plot summary is that Anevia gets mindbroken over time due to being, well, SWARMED on regular basis, and because she's stuck in Drezen with no one coming to save her, yet the Swarm keeps her intact physically because Commander needs her body to be healthy for his experiments. Eventually she goes completely crazy when Swarm gives her a couple of custom-bred bugs specifically designed to fuck her whenever she wants for recreation. She ends up voluntarily dressing in fineries and doing makeup before every impregnation. The story ends with her gleefully presenting several fresh captives the same offer the Swarm gave her - die or get bugged and be set free.Not sure if that helps any with commissioning pictures specifically.

>>521775835>Not much to do with communism specificallyNah, throughout the history radical left organizations prone to ideological fractures. They're as volatile as Christianity during the Reformation era.>>521776158Well, sort of, because the authoritarian strain just replaces the bourgeoisie with party nomenclature, essentially replacing one class of exploiters with another (the ""vanguard" of """proletariat"""" thing), instead of building the classless society like it claims to do; and libertarian strain is too disorganized and volatile to actually get the power before blowing into million National Fronts of Judea and Judean National Fronts.
>>521772189>spoilerNot bad at all. Assisted rape is underrated. I have a similar bit in another commission with Areelu helping the swarm rape Nocticula and Iomedae. Something something Worldwound Abyss magic.https://files.catbox.moe/dty2sz.jpgI would love to read it, anon.
>>521775554I choose not to play Disco Elysium because I'm tired of white people telling me to play the Estonian Communist Lawn Gnome game
>>521777054It's actually quite uniqueWhy complain about something you know nothing about?
>>521777240how is it unique then?
a crpg where you build up your trade union and have to fight against pinkertons, government infiltrators and even the national guard
>>521777113>the game studio ZA/UM is a "radical left organization"ok babe
>>521777303Play Dragon Commander
>>521777051An uneasy alliance between many factions on the verge of shattering and becoming an all-out war. Only a gang of misfit outcasts that are all super horny for each other can save the day. (I want to kill myself even writing this.)
>>521777587no
>>521777229>Estonian CommunistWell, in order to be a proper punk edgelord in Estonia you just *have* to be a communist and Soviet sympathizer, it's like being a Nazi in Israel.
>>521777054>>521777240it's just horribly undercooked because they never truly delve into it. There are 8 races but you can only see a few of them at one time. Then DOS2 decided to just ruin it by going>Lmao the gods are all fake (this is the third popular fantasy RPG to do this)There are a lot of things to actually pick up on and the racial tensions get brought up if they bother putting a spotlight into it>Dragon Commander has a side event where the Lizards, the British "upperclass" asks you to stop a research paper from being published because it implies that they may be related to Orcs, the niggers of the world
we're never getting lex imperalis are we bros...
>>521777223>pic Nice.When I finally get a moment, I'll polish the story somewhat and drop a link here.
>>521777332Amazing idea fellow caucasoid
>>521777847They really wrote themselves into a complete hole of shit with the whole Gods and source stuff.
>>521777847>this is the third popular fantasy RPG to do thisWhat's the third one?
I don't take disco's politics seriously because we are viewing it through the lens of a drunk retard thats trying to use political extremisim as a scapegoat for his ex leaving him. all that being said I'm an ultraliberal grinder and have a net woth of 2 million reál that will surely help me win her back, I've got the paper
new>>521778160>>521778160>>521778160
>>521777996Pillars did it and then Dragon Age did so as well. Can't really say which one did it first because even Inquisition didn't really fully confirm it. DOS2 was just the last one to the party. I guess Morrowind counts too if you squint.
>>521777847>because they never truly delve into itBecause they basically retcon or refit the entire thing for every game. Shit is completely unrecognisable from Divine Divinity to Divinity Dragon Saga, much less after that.Basically its like thisLarian has an idea They shove it into the setting and handwave the inconsistencies Game releasesLarian has an ideaEtcRivellon is just a placeholder name
>>521777906Wait until bg3 is done with their bullshit update. Probably mid May if not I'm going to fucking riot.
>>521777054I found Larian setting quite creative. I always thought of it as a satirical, comedic fantasy first. Something closer to "M.Y.T.H. Inc" or "Bill, the Galactic Hero". Divinity is quite enjoyable and creative if you ae familiar with broad fantasy fiction. Dragon Commander, Divinity 2 and now Original Sin are all very much in the same cheeky yet straight epic fantasy style. Don't really remember og game, but the twist ending to it seems to fit.
>>521773086Do DNA test, thank me later
you fags really like adultery huh
>>521778521What got retconned? Until OS2 they basically followed the>There were 8 gods>Chaos came along>All other gods had to create their own race to fight off Chaos>Chaos just gets pulled between worlds and somehow creates its own domain, creating hell>Rivellon is where the mortals live now>Chaos/Demons still trying to bring him out, basically the plot of Divine, and Divinity 2That's been consistent before Original Sin and even then OS1 only brought on something else that looks unrelated with Astarte and the Void Dragon.
>>521711126how can you like Regongar damn, he is one of the worst character personality wise among KM companion, and he has some really weird prose/dialogue, nothing he says sounds natural+he is a massive cuck. Still I do like some iconics too, I recall reading one comic centered around the fighter ending up in the afterlife and having to pass judgement+he had a cute romance going on with the Inquisitor iconic>>521710556Stjepan Seijic right? I love his comics
>>521779079NTA but I'm sure it's Stjepan. Great artstyle but arguably runs into sameface a fair bit.
>>521779079>he is a massive cuckI didn't romance him so this didn't really factor in. Had sex with Octavia once, told him I wasn't interested, moved on to Val. Reg + Octavia's entire relationship was just kind of sweet from that point on.He grows into a total bro who's ride or die, completely willing to follow you into hell for the thrill of battle and adventure. Plus, the culmination of his story being>He's excited to meet his tribe that sold him into slavery, so he can kill them>Get there and it's a single old man who remembers him and says his father sold him but he had a brother who never forgot him>Regongar tells us to leave him alone with the old man>Catches up to you>says "There's no one here worth killing."is KINO of the highest order
>>521775420Shame, what's fun then?
>>521730454need this af
>>521747327Bethany is a non-character.
>>521751192I pick an opposite gender when I replay the game if there are differences between male and female (fallout, expeditions rome), or if i want to kiss a specific dolly
>>521752201I did it for Wrex
>>5217537673 wasn't good>>521753646Dragon Age
>>521754086Are you a girl (female)?
