>>539816948>A novel crammed into a CRPGAH reading scares me!
>>539816824Doesn't he have a minature figurine of Nyrissa in his quarters?
Do not trust elves.
We need more CRPG developers and CRPG games.I can only replay the existing CRPGs so many times.
>>539817203VTMB2 is out this year, sister
>>539816948>What is the ideal crpg length?40-50 hours
They made Lasombra and Toreadors free. Renewed my preorder :)
>>539816824King shit>>539816940I laughed my ass off when he called me onstage at the Rushlight and said "My darling - oh sorry, I can't say that in public - King Roj!"Such a kino bit of characterization
>>539817203Solasta 2 is coming out within the next 12 months.
>>539817467Gross
>>539817098It's not very good reading that is the problem
Poolasta has nothing to do with RPGs.
Well.I didn't see that coming.I'm guessing this is because I didn't get Briar early?
Attention! I love Jimmy! That is all.
Man I love Dragon Age. All three Dragon Age games are pretty good, even if they had some hiccups here and there in some of them. Oh there was also that spinoff phone game.It's a shame that it's been a whole decade since the last Dragon Age game, but I see that everyone talented has left bioware anyway, so if they were to make one I bet it would be bad lol. Oh well, the realm of hypotheticals.I think today I will enjoy some good old Human Fighter sword+shield gameplay, to keep it classic. I hope you're all enjoying your crpg's today too
BLOODLINES 2 IS ALMOST OUT BROS
>>539817515I want a shotgun halberd.
>>539817878>All three Dragon Age games are pretty goodI wouldn't say that, but I would say that all three games had something good about them
Froggy doesn't like solasta because he got filtered by the aksha fight
Name one (1) good reason to bother having a woman in your adventuring party that isn't sex related
>>539817878>All three Dragon Age games are pretty goodGun to your head, if you had to pick the best, which would it be? don't think for more than 10 seconds
>>539818378are you literally 12 years old?please don't be so boring
Man I wish the other Dragon Age games were at least as half as good and successful as Veilguard. Oh, well, at least the last two games in the series were the best with Veilguard being inarguably the best game in the series.Can't wait what the venerated Veilguard team will add to the upcoming Mass Effect game!
>>539817878Yeah it was you. Kys Mintharatranny no woman will love your ugly blonde transbians

>>539818614We all know it's you, retard.
If I wanted to play a TBT game, I'd go play a TBT game. Poolasta has nothing to do with RPGs, because it has no roleplaying depth.
>>539818378I like women. Not as sex objects but as characters.
>>539818378b-b-based!>>539818529>not knowing how to cook
it's just froggy talking to xerself ITT
>>539818663If we all know it why do you have to waste time pointing it out? Are you stupid? Are you drunk? Maybe both?
>>539818705>doing a woman's chores>wasting your time cooking
>>539818810>Trusting cooking to womenI bet you also unironically think healing is for womenI hope all your major surgeries are handled by women

>>539818803I simply wish to insult you, and ensure you that you can't hide from your own retardation.
>>5398184291 of course.That same question is more difficult for Mass Effect, it's a closer tossup between 1 and 2 there.

It's better to have a woman handle situations where brute strength would be detrimental.Women are smarter on average. They make better Wizards.Women are underestimated. They make better Assassins.Women are prettier. They make better negotiators and diplomats.

>>539820829Not quite, it's Halsin and Shaddy who make the goodberry pie for Tav
who else is high af right now? also beat the archaelund demo yesterday, the combat was really fun but everything else felt really choppy especially the movement.now its time to play wasteland 3.

You guys ready to have your mind blown?War Hammer: 40,000 has elves... But these ain't the elves you're used to.That's right. Elves, in fucking space. War Hammer: 40,000 (40k for short) will take every assumption you have and turn it on its fucking head.They even have a slur for humans: mon-keigh. If that word isn't weird enough as it is, try saying it outloud ;)I swear I don't know how they come up with some of this shit
Mass Effect but without the ugly races
What are fun classes in WotR?How long does it take for classes to come online or be more interactive past just basic attacking enemies with your sword
>>539825125Why would you want a game with only batarians?
>>539825125Mass Effect but only Hanar? Sounds fucking lit. I always wanted to watch the Blasto films in game
>>539825153You asked this over an hour ago. In that time did you think of, perhaps, playing the game?
Mass effect but ugly
What's the CRPG equivalent?
>>539826004No one here reads.
>>539825153Right now I'm trying an Aldori Defender, planning to go Swordlord. So far it's just a regular fighter but worse. See how it goes.Armored Battlemage was pretty neat. Not exceptionally strong, but I have a soft spot for wizards that wear heavy plate.One of these days I want to play a monk and take the lich path, to see if the unarmed bonuses do anything.
My name is Vordakai.What is your name?
>>539826804My name is Sugma.
>>539825153My favorite build was an Eldritch Archer Azata into Devil. Magic Deceiver is also up there as a really fun class for me, but it's horribly overpowered because of how bugged it is, if you don't abuse the bugs it's still fairly strong and fun.
>>539826804The absence of an answer is an answer too ;)
>>539826804isn't he supposedly an uber lich but for some reason a lesser lich when you meet him?
>>539827127He has been sleeping for a ludicrously long time before you meet him so maybe he has forgotten some of his abilities. All I know is that Finger of Death = -1 party member.
>>539825153Fun is subjective. It helps if your idea of fun is some kind of martial, because they can come online very quickly. The more basic the martial the more fun in that case, like any kind of Fighter feels extremely good when you're getting a feat literally every level and additional features like weapon training on top of that.If your idea of fun is a caster on the other hand settle in for a good 6-10 levels of suffering. I'm doing a wizard now and the fact that all I really can do is occasionally cast Grease is extremely depressing.
I wanna smooch her.
Explain to me, in detail, the cons of being undead.>around forever>don't have to worry about eating and drinking>sense of smell likely gone so being stinky doesn't matter>blood loss doesn't matter, harder to killcons:>Moving around might be harder depending on the type of undead you are>Smoothskins are repulsed by you
Corrupted Overcharged Servitors are so fucking tanky that I almost want to rage quit. I legit spent an hour just spamming bursts that dealt 1 damage a pop to these pieces of shit.
>>539825125>a game with no humansI'm in
>>539827493being around forever and not sating your hunger or thirst are both cons
>>539827493No eating a drinking.No smelling anything.No blood for erections.
>>539827493Daeran says he'll consider you to be ugly if you turn into a lich, so that's a good enough reason to reject the idea.
>>539827493Lots of irate religious people want to utterly destroy you. Gods of death tend to seethe over your very existence.
>>539825125Finally no boring blue women
>>539827782in D&D, maybe
Why do druids suck so FUCKING MUCH AS A CONCEPT>I turned myself into an animal!>I summon more animals!>Here are some plants on the ground!
>>539825125>Mass Effect but there's only the quarians with high design suits left.Wierd choice but ok.
>>539828049>He hasn't summoned six hippos and sent them to ravage an orphanageGet good
>>539828049They only suck because only pathfinder 1e and pillars let's you cast spells in wildshape form for some reason. The whole point of being a druid is larping as a bear wizard, more games should just make casting spells in wildshape form a feat.
>>539827493Success breeds jealousy. The living will try to destroy you because you're better than them.
>>539828457disgusting furry
>>539828568Your just mad that im a dinosaur wizard and you are not.
>>539828457>wasting your wildshape on casting
Revolutionary idea, spells you can only cast in wildshape form
>>539828049Druids are great as a concept. The only problem is there’s no reason to ever turn into a squirrel in a video game where only meta dps autism math matters
>>539828049Thank you Swen for letting me turn into a cat so I can infiltrate a bank

>>539831197No way R*zard would go for Idira
>>539831536Why not?
>>539832173She's old and ugly. Rzard likes the unobtainable waifubait.
>>539832450>oldShe looks like she is in her early 30's
>>539825994It's called Expanse: Osiris
>>539832641No she doesn't what. Shes even listed as middle-age in some profile.
Areelu wanted me to not go legend? Should have offered sex.
>>539832854>middle agedSo in her 30's
>idira>uglyShe is prime rape meat.
Aww. Too simple for a decadent earther?
Should CRPGs have more player-initiated rape? How about NPC-initiated or narrative rape?
>>539833735Ahh she's so old and wrinkly i'm going to vomit
>>539834091Fallout 2 had rape and its one of the best crpgs of all time.
>>539833735Middle aged is like 50 bro.
>>539834091BG2 has rape if you install the old version of the Imoen mod where you can administer corrective rape to tame her brattiness.
>>539833735Not early 30s. Are you the fag who thinks Idira is sexy
>>539834257Middle age is about 10 years older than however old I personally am at the moment.
>>539833929Agreed, I like how compliant and vulnerable she is.
>doesn't have s single wrinkle on her face >she is in her 50's broWhat caused this schizophrenia?
>>539834359Idira IS sexy
>>539834979Its 40gay, anyone can be any age. Do you not see her perma laugh lines ?
Does Yrliet ever call Idira a monkeigh?
>>539835132She refers to everyone as monkey.
Rogue trader but without monkeighs
>>539835304>it's just marz and yrliet on the teamhow did they drop the ball so hard on variety
>>539835304Gw are to cowardly to allow a video game where you play as a xeno and is 90% about xenos.
>>539834979Her age was mentioned in one bit of dialogue so therefore it's hypercanon and if you try to pretend that she's not 53 years old you are a headcanoning schizo
>>539835132Not directly but they have a banter likeYrliet>Mon-keigh must be truly foolish to allow one who communes with Sai-Lan-Thresh into their retinue!Idira>Ha a xenos agreeing with Imperial doctrine, now I've heard it all
>>539835484It wouldn't sell
>>539835304>you play as an eldar warrior whose ranger gf cucks him with a mon-keigh rogue trader
Owlcat should make a trench crusade game.

>>539836383>reddit crusade
Please don't make pillars 3 a bg3 clone. Just make a new ip sawyer.
>>539834168It didn't have rape, it had implied rape which is not the same.
>>539836589>he doesn't know
CRPGs for this feel?
>>539834091BG2 has rape because Aerie is too young to legally consent
After playing Owlcat crpgs, nothing comes closeI feel like someone who tried crack and needs his fix
>>539836541Gina's gina is now accessible.
>>539836838>>539836589there is 1 more instance where you can rape
>>539836838Average anon
How long is WotR? Do the combats get any more intense. There are so many combats that I worry they'll become a slog if they get too complicated and you're doing 20 of them every ten minutes
the animal companion mechanic in wasteland 3 is really fun being a sniper with a murder pet is cool also i like that the pets give you bonusses. also holly shit im dying alot on supreme jerk every thing two shots my team mates except for my tank it feels like x com.
>>539837857you are in for a rough time my friend
>>539837857My first playthrough was 120 hours.I've heard reviewers say the game lasts about 60 hours.

>>539840886I love DOS2, but in no way would I consider it well written. BG3 also had mediocre writing from what I played of it.
>>539840025It's better written than the Veilguard.
If given free rein on what to do during an adventure, too many of you would spend all your time kissing dollies instead of fighting the bad guys.
>>539842063thats not hard when you have choice scenes such ashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkzTIEBZSxQ
>>539842075I would be scheming to take over the world.
>>539842075No id try and become the bbeg eldrich knight with a cool gaint eldrich monster sidekick. Also I'd have a doom castle.
Are the Mythic Paths actually cool or are they just a bit of a gimmick?

>>539842075>fighting the bad guys.Sounds Reddit
>>539848881Eldar flaw is hubris and prideTau flaw is communism
>>539842075>not kissing the bad guys
>>539824890D&D is not a single setting unlike pathfinder.Anyway, probably something in the goblin pantheon will fit, or any of the tanar'ri or ba'atezu powers, if you need this for your campaign.
Are there any good fortitude CC spells? Al I see is sirocco and stinking cloud which is useless since everything's immune to poison.
>>539828049Druids are actually OP as battle mages with backup healing if you don't fall into the "must turn into a stupid animal" trap.
Crpg writing starts to look subpar when you start comparing it to anime
>>539857595Too wordy
>>539857595Owlcats writing is comparable to Dostoyevsky,Chekhov and Tolstoy. They are some of the great Russian writers of our time and mogg the shit out of the slop you posted. People like to make fun of them by saying their games are "like a novel crammed into a crpg" but that criticism holds no water when they are pretty much writing a 10/10 novel.
>>539858726
>Owlcats writing is comparable to Dostoyevsky,Chekhov and Tolstoy.
>>539858965>I posted one little snippet >owlcat writing BTFOLow IQ animal argumentation, talk about the concepts and themes conveyed in owlcat stories and how you think they are badly conveyed to the audience if you think they are horrible writers.
Trvth be told, english translation is awkward as fuck for all olwcat games. It lacks a lot of subtle details, local jokes, vivid speech patterns and so on. English just sucks man, it's not made to be beautiful or emotional, only to transfer info from one person to another.
>>539857595This show got really cringe when that anime boy with spikey hair showed up to split mountains or whatever.The episodes with the demons pretending to be civil humans were decent though.
>you don't get it, it's a masterpiece of prose in the originalHow do you say COPIUM in Russian?
I'm curious how Owlcat writing and voice acting sounds in other localizations now. Maybe I'll try switching it to french, spanish or german whenever Seelah is on the screen or Idira is interjecting.

Does the pure voiced prophet get captured by deldar even if I pick Argenta's escort option?
>>539865562no, they would be speaking cantonese
>>539865795Thats just a different type of chinese like how jamaicans speak english but it sounds really wierd.
>>539856868At a later point there will be opportunity to deal with immunity and resistance. Don't want to spoil much depending on what you know of the game.There's also the Vulnerability hex.But that aside, some of the shaman ground area effects are really underrated imo. Sharp stones and Slow turned parts of Leper's Smile into an absolute joke. Great to use with Selective of course. Typically massive area. Also remember that Entangle can cause spellcasters to fail their cast and waste a spell/round.
>>539865861no, chinese and cantonese is like german and english, theyre kinda the same, but not really

>unrionically watching video essay slop because a shitpost annoyed you
>>539862231No, he is quite right. The English language is indeed rather lacking in emotional expressiveness and overly formal. It doesn’t have the multifaceted richness found in truly majestic literary languages, like Russian.This is precisely why Russian fiction literature is considered the most influential from the 18th to the 20th century.The most authentic way to play RT is to play it in Russian—only then can you fully grasp the depth of the text.And in general, knowing Russian is valuable as one of the most significant global languages.

>>539873424That's not completely fair, I haven't seen Mishulin make a game with zero subversions or (non-obvious) twists since HoMM5. Kingmaker has the lantern king twist, Rogue trader has Nomos, WotR is elementally a twist game where you're not a real hero, you're a sleeper agent for two demon women and their machinations. Meanwhile, Swen turned your dream waifu into a catfishing illithid who spawned out of Balduran. Nobody seems to be able to stop themselves from just making a normal game anymore.
