now Aribeth, THAT was a romance
Previous: >>537652901I messed up okay
Aribeth is a slut
>>537813698Finally finished off Icewind Dale. Great atmosphere. Great music. Was fun, through I did like BG fights more (save for respawning enemies in 1) for some reason.>Aribeth editionI'll take it as a sign to go for NWN next. Sorcerer or Paladin?
Fun fact: Cassia and Argenta get aroused by exterminatus
>>537814341Also, any necessary mods? Heard that henchmen need a mod to really work.

>>537814813Argenta gets turned on by violence in general, Marazhai sees right through her facade
>>537815128Henchman is an unsuitable name for a helper. Sounds evil and brutish

is The Legend of Zelda a crpg
>>537819215Thug.Cornugon Smash.Dreadful Carnage.
It's neither C nor RPG
Is x a crpg has to be the least funny shitpost this thread has come up with
for me the real adventure is all the roles we play along the way
>>537821815Dollieposting is still the lamest
>>537821815Is this dolly NTR game a CRPG BG3BG3BG3?
it really is just playing with dolls when you think about it
What non-larian CRPG is most like a larian game?
>>537822452Bahamut Lagoon
>>537822452swen admits he's trying to chase ultima, while i hear zoomers compare bg3 with dao (especially the ones who abandoned bioware)
>>537822452Wasteland 3.

>>537822452Duke Nukem 2
>>537822452Meet N' Fuck Kingdom
well anon?
>>5378243303 because harem run
>>537824330(this was made by some intern at owlkek btw)
>>537821798You play the role of Link, and every device from NES to Switch has been a type of computer.
>>537824564I don’t get why there aren’t different words for actual RPGs where you create a character and have their backstory in your head, and for “RPG”s like the Witcher where you’re a pre-set guy and the game just coincidentally has RPG elements like choice and consequences.
>its hard set that you are adopted member member of a great house in solasta 2Guess all my characters backstories will be that they were talented orphans.
If I type 8008 in the calculator app, am I playing a CRPG?
>>537824330Argenta's chair but she sits on my lap
>>537822452Depends on which Larian game you are talking about. BG3 remind me a lot of Mass Effect 2.
Dark heresy or bloodlines 2?
>>537825008why are rpg devs obsessed with nobility
>>537825234Swordhaven
This is what romance fags want to turn crpgs into
>>537824821there arecrpgs vs trash
>>537825235Judging by the demo dialog you are considered low born in stats so you are basically just golfried mercenaries
>>537825362This is one of the only CRPGs I'm waiting for
>>537825235>be a peasant >need to work for a living >no time for adventures
>>537825235>Be normal person>Call to adventure comes>Die to a shitty goblin and watch your family get slaughteredWowie!~
>>537825793Warhammer fantasy rpg is unparalleled kino
Almost every fantasy epic involves some poor dirtfarmer answering the call to adventure and becoming outrageously powerful before defeating some big bad evil guy.Nobles don't really get the spotlight as often.
>>537825378Yeah, and?
>>537825793Are noblemen immune to getting stabbed by goblins?
>>537825793>do the same, except with 5 gold in your pocket compared to a peasant's lint>magically, everything is supposed to change
>>537825235Same reason Shakespeare only wrote about nobility.
Biggest proof of Indians posting here is people unironically buying into the caste shit with nobility
>>537826475>Arthur>son of Uther>Frodo>nephew of a rich influential person>Roland>nephew of Charlamagne>Perseu/Hercules>sons of Zeus>Gilgamesh>a king>Alexander>a fuckin princeAlmost any, if not all, Civilizational heroes have a noblity undertone to them
>>537825378This is the ideal interaction menu back at base when you're not out fighting/exploring though?
>>537826475Can you give any such examples?
>>537827632>>537827647>What would be the difference if the underfed sub 50 IQ retard wasn't one?Face it, some random peasant is very limiting, unless you want to go the>Ackshually he's the orphan or a very special person/chosen by the gods/whatever definitely not nobility substitute
>>537828192>i am the brahmin, saar
>>537827952Literally all but one of those is over a thousand years old.Modern stories are written by commoners for commoners.
>>537828192It's also that peasants lack the opportunity to go on adventures. They are fixed in place mostly. Just as now, most protagonists in fiction don't have families to look after. If you wanted a non-noble rpg protagonist a member of a mercenary company would work, or better yet a travelling merchant like Marco Polo.
>>537828192yes anon, i'm sure the nobility were better fighters and more intelligent, and not just suppressing learning and buying expensive protection while forcing others to be fodder in a thick tshirt
>>537828096Luke Skywalker
>>537828908>suppressing learningNoblemen had no interest in suppressing education There simply was no education available other than what was available at grammar schools run by monasteries.Lack of printing is the reason.
>i'm supposed to believe an urchin fighting for everything they own, a merchant's apprentice or some laborer in the woods would be a shittier adventurer than some hedonist with servants waiting to inherit daddy's money
>>537829113Secret nobility placed in hiding with peasants (his father was Force Jesus)
>>5378243302 is a femcel's dream
>>537824330Argenta I sit in her lap
>>537825378>Let's make the entire ending sequence an elaborate Apocalypse Now/Spec Ops the line referenceWhy not just add more sex with the sister?
>>5378243303, with my arms wrapped around both beauties
>>537829425As far as Luke's story goes, his father is just a veteran of the clone wars who fell to the dark side. I don't accept the stretching of definitions to call Luke nobility.
>>537829113Unfortunately Luke was the grandson of the Queen of Naboo. He's also the grandson of the miraculous birth of the Force impregnating a virgin, just like Jesus. So his "lineage" so to speak is quite something, on both sides of the family. Though personally I would say that he does count as as the zero-to-hero farmer trope since he didn't even know either of those things about his family, and he was raised as a water farmer on a desert backwater. So imo he fits the trope.
>>537824330I'm going to go with 2 so I can melee area attack all of the guys at once, killing them instantly so all the women can be mine.
>>537830258A seeming peasant who is secretly the long lost heir is an old trope
>>537830307I don't think you are strong enough
>>537830258Prequel slop is not canon. With respect to the original movies, Anakin Skywalker was a Jedi knight and that's it
Fantasy bros...We're not abandoned...Which Fantasy game do you think they're working on?
>>537832139The King and the Cuckold
>>537832139No idea. What fantasies IPs are there
>>537832603Redwall
>>537832139>WillLOOOOOOOOOOOLSO THERE IS NOTHING
>>537832771How many games do you want them to be working on at once
Surely Owlsneed won't make 4 sci fi games in a row???
>>537832768Whats Redwall
>>537832771They're working on DH, Expanse and DLCs for RT so it would be weird if they had another game in active development. At best it's pre-production. But I'm guessing there'll fantasy game after DH & The Expanse.
>>537832139warhammer fantasy
>>537833526Original, AoS or Old World?
>>537832139Sword and Planet>Dry Mars inhabited by a declining empire of canal-builders>Rainy Venus inhabited by fierce creatures and more fierce women>Jupiter with a solid surface, but huge atmosphere and gasbag organisms>Moon is airless but has hidden caverns that are habitable>Innermost planet Vulcan
>>537833610AoS to reuse assets
>>537833372Lord of the rings but micePretty good children’s fantasy series
>>537833372ye olde rodente anglo monks
Will the sex scenes be fully voiced? Will they be animated in The Expanse?
>>537834196Yes and there will be skill checks during sex
shitpants is not a crpg
>>537834349>dumped dex>accidentally hit her pooper
>dump charisma>turn into an incel >dump strength >get pegged
>dump>she's into it
>>537834461How hard will you seethe and cry when it comes out and this general turns into the Expanse?
>dump INT>can only play a female character
owlcat is not biowareowlcat is not EAowlcat is not blizzardwhere they get this arrogance that they can develop 4 games at once
>>537834646Amber????
>>537834579how to do this irl?
>>537834465If you dump Endurance you'll tend to go soft but you can get around that by pausing and spamming stims directly from inventory
>>537834902They’re not
>>537834761There are more retarded men than women. Men are more likely to have high or low iq while women are more likely to have average iq.
>[Lore: Xenos] Failed>"Wrong hole, Mon-Keigh"
>>537834902By making lower budget games that don't require as much resources? Also owlcat has 450 employees, Larian has 470. Also it's 2 games and DLCs for 1 game.
>>537835275>You're supposed to stick it in my asshole
BG3 already introduced skill checks during sex, Lae'zel's first sex scene requires an intimidation check if you want to be on top otherwise she will be on top.
>>537835514>suddenly, people savescumming to fail a roll
>>537826475Not true at all for fiction, and in gaming you can’t have them be nobles because it screws up the inventory management part of the game by giving them infinite money.Unless you make them a “disgraced”/kicked out noble so they’re poor again.
autumn's coming to the northern hemispherewhat games will you play, or does the season not matter to you for that?
>>537827834Idk why neorightslugs have some obsession with the caste system but without ever using that word.
>>537835889>it screws up the inventory management part of the game by giving them infinite money.Rogue Trader? Money/resources were more important in RT than Wrath or BG3
>Go from ruling a kingdom to being a jannyral>Go from space consquistador to being a spookEach sequel, a downgrade
>>537829425His father was born a slave wtf are you talking about
>>537836103people like you are the reason every big budget movie has to involve saving the world
>>537832139I don’t care unless they have a signed agreement to not have textbook length repetitive nonsense in every interaction
>>537836204Virgin birth
>>537836309but wrath was more egregious on that front than km?even forced in a chosen one equivalent
>>537836103>Go from ruling a kingdom and dealing with mostly trivial shit concerning one small piece of land to fighting in a crusade to save the entire worldThe stakes/scope were definitely higher in Wrath than Kingmaker
>>537832768No, I’m working on fantasy redwall (licensed) and I don’t work there
How about you red wall these nutz
>>537835084Nah you’ll just cum the second it goes in like my first bf
Now the dust has settled, will we be able to fuck her, yes or no?
>>537835357Wow so there really is no excuse for their games to be that shit
>>537836714>like my first bfwhat
>>537836917How are they shit? Lower production value? Buggy at launch?
>>537836089Idk I don’t play owlshit but the “oh it’s not money it’s just basically money” system sounds retarded
>>537828096Rand al'thor
>>537836869No she's the new Yrliet with somewhat reduced racism towards Earthers.She'll be even more neurodiverse than Yrliet was I mean just look at her, she's obviously autistic with sensory issues
>>537837249Imagine if anyone here ever played the games they talked about
>>537836869How did she pass the DEI test?
>>537837148Muddled writing and low reactivity, bugs, and loose ends.
>>537837148Unvoiced story where every interaction is 1,000 words that could have been 20Cutscenes straight out of world of warcraft Reused assets everywhere
>>537835357>450 employees>3 of them are writers>running their prose through google translate
All the "zero to hero" story's just make the character start out poor then just reveal there special lineage later.
>>537836549are you lying on the internet? That would be cool, can you show some progress?>inb4 sorry can't just trust me bro
>>537836869She trans
Honestly dungeon seige did it perfectly just have one of the evil monster hoards of the bad guy wipe out your village so you decide to pick up a sword and kick his ass.
>>537837587Baron, Tav, Casteless, City Elf, Earthborn, Hero of Kvatch
>>537836103>be the king of some backwater no one gives a shit about or be the key general and the sole reason for victory in a war for the fate of the world
>>537838905All of those people were cosmiclly chosen by the gods, that's he worse then having a special bloodline.
>>537837467Adhd zoomer spotted
>>537837360She has a dick (feminine)
I'm going to romance the black science lady in both of the owlcat games.
>>537839496good for you, abelard
>>537839286There is a difference between something being long because it contains a lot of things, and something being long because they didn’t have time to make it short.Their writing is extremely bloated for no reason.
>>537835357Wow thats pathetic. So many employees and their games still feel like some amateur indie game.
>>537828096Shart bearer from NWN2
>>537839650It's also missing pieces where it shouldn't be. Like how hardly anyone reacts to you bringing Marazhai along, even on Dargonus or Santiel's Pride.
Who wins in a fight asnur or terendelev?
Who wins in a fight smaug or the KC as a gold dragon?
my arse is as clean as an elven inn
Tav is just some random dude. If the nautiloid tentacle had grabbed the person next to him on the street, the story would be about them instead.Now, Durge is the special chosen of Bhaal born from his own blood who kicked off the entire game's plotline. But Tav absolutely fits the bill for random nobody with nothing special.I was going to say Fallout 4, you're a random prewar soldier, but then I remembered that Dogmeat is a supernatural immortal being that did choose you and kicks off the plot as part of his ongoing duty to solve the various problems of the wastelands, so it doesn't count since I guess technically you're a "chosen one" by the gods. But I would argue the New Vegas does count as having a random nobody protagonist. You're just a courier who helped build The Divide, your skillset is...carrying stuff.Off the top of my head, Solasta protagonists are just a band of adventurers, Outer Worlds you're just an average colonist from earth and you're only special because everyone else around you has degenerated kind of like in Idiocracy, in Kingmaker you're just an adventurer and the game would play the same if Amiri or Tartuccio or someone else became the defacto leader of the party and was thus crowned, and while most Elder Scrolls protagonists are indeed chosen ones the exception is Oblivion in which Martin is the chosen one with the special bloodline and you're just his chaperone (although this gets messier because you actually were chosen by fate to be his chaperone so we can go around in circles but you get what I mean, you're not the important one this time).
>>537840706Isn't it part of the story as well in Morrowind that "The Nerevarine" is basically just whoever might fit the bill? A stand-in who'll just agree to play the part?
Each of us is born special, for each of us is a child of God. It's not just in some special chosen people, it's in everyone.
>>537837360The same way the blonde chick did, Owlcat doesn't care, all the white Europeans are attractive.
>>537836869Is she a belter?
"The Chosen One" is pushed deliberately to get people waiting for some Superman to solve all the problems, and dissuading people from the only true way things ever actually get done: collective action.
>>537842191>Is she a belter?Yes, she has belter tattoos and it was confirmed by Starrok
>>537839865Yeah it’s not even long to include reactivity either. Even for obvious stuff like, it doesn’t even notice if you’ve already wiped out the fleshmarkets in WOTR when you have an escort thing there and the person still goes “in disguise” as a demon for a place that’s just a yard of corpses and one ghost.
Reactivity is antisemitic
>>537842647It's lack of attention. They have a lot of employees and could assign a group to check for edge cases like that which require just a little bit of extra writing
Why don’t they just turn up the writing dial
>>537843285That one in particular is extra weird because instantly wiping out the fleshmarkets is probably the initial reaction of most people.
>>537842063wait till you see her in the trailer before you preorder
>>537840706
>>537832139You can make your own 3e game. Doesn't need to be pathfinder.
>Arueshalae has 18 fucking INT>can't understand common sayings like the cat is out of the bag
>>537843991That has nothing to do with intelligence. That's more of a Lore check.
>>537843978Huh? We know they're not working on any Pathfinder games
>>537843736What do they call this mental illness
do you guys discuss Diablo here?
>>537843736I doubt the in game models of the Expanse will look good, I'm expecting Skyrim/Starfield tier
I'm watching a cornball but soulful late-80s horror anthology series called Monsters and it makes me wish for a crpg with this kind of tone. QFG4, Maniac Mansion, Gabriel Knight.
>>537845092Can you have sex with Diablo characters?
>>537845092No
>>537845253i wish, my D4 female rogue is literally made for creampie>>537845626why not?
>>537846071>you can't have sex with Diablo characters Then how is it a Computer Role Playing Game?
>>537846071Its an arpg dumbfuck.Go to one of the arpg generals if you want to talk about your skinner box.
The Expanse will be a good CRPG, put your faith in Owlcat.
>>537846485>>537846329but it's an RPG and its primary platform is PC, why is not a CRPG?
>>537846789I do not like it and there’s no ending where I have a baby
>>537846818diablo 1 is kinda like that, metaphorically
>>537846789If I can't have sex in the game then it's not a Computer Role Playing Game. What's the point of playing with dollies if you can't stick your dick in them?
>>537846974dress them up in cool gear and fuck demons up?
>>537847052You can't properly immerse yourself in a RPG without romances. How the fuck does a man go on adventures and various trials by fire (for hundreds of hours) with a woman without developing feelings and a relationship?It's simply not realistic and immersion breaking to have female companions in the game if you can't fuck em
and it seemed to meyou played your rolelike a dollie in the wind...
>>537847235Do you not have women in your group(s) of friends?
Shoving my dolly onto every female character
>>537847235then by that extension, are most of Sawyer's games not CRPGs?
>>537847447what
>>537847616>SawyerWho?
>>537840706thats a custom character schizo. there is no backstory

>romance usually takes up 1% of a game>still gets pathetic autists obsessing over them foreverWhat causes this kind of mental illness?
>you play a role of [Charname]Not an RPG
>>537848809Only way they can experience romance
Some of you fags just need to accept that you don't even like these games and what you actually want is tiktok romantasy smut written for women
>>537848263recommend me some good ones
>>537849327No, I hate dating/romance sims but I love romance in RPGs
geez guys, i just want to discuss some diablo, why did it turn into a psych evaluation?
>>537849374Summertime Saga

We need more bro sis incest in crpgs
>>537848809Does it need to take up 50% instead?
What makes a choice meaningful in an RPG?
>>537852296If it pleases my cock then it's meaningful
>Help, charname! I'm stuck!
>>537852296How well they disguise how meaningless it is.
What are you doing, step-charname?
>>537842020No that dream you get at the beginning is actually azura and you can wear moon and star which was made with super special "the gods cant mess with this" dwarf magic. You are actually just the reincarnation of nerevar.
>>537852973Man elder scrolls dwarf lore is so dumb >they became enlightened atheist that transcended the gods then fucked off from existence.
>>537852296That your choices actually matter in the plot
Man I forgot how slow morrowinds walk speed is when you start.I wanted to use medium or heavy armor but the weight slows you to a crawl.
now that other game genres are including kissable dolls, how will crpgs continue to distinguish themselves?
>>537854515by having walls of text and being 200 hours long of course
>>537854680that's just your average japanese vn and they have the advantage of often having actual rape
>>537844897Having a penisVery sick but very commonHope they find a cure
>>537855763but do VN's have often confusing and poor gameplay attached?
>>537852021*bro bro incest (twin)
How illiterate do you have to be to think any crpg actually has walls of text
>>537857602Global literacy has fallen by 35% in the last 30 years
>>537857602Anons do not read anything of the text besides the romance dialogue
