>>541682154Even whilst being terminally ill and on death's door he runs around the Citadel trying to help Shephard, saves the ambassador and stops Kai Leng. His quest in ME2 lets you beat someone to near death whilst interrogating them then blast a corrupt politician in the face whilst telling his son he ain't about this life. Thane was the realest of niggas.
What would the ideal CRPG for women look like?
>>541682670Thane is a fake nigga. Nothing but a poser who failed his own child. Needs to beg Shep to daddy his son for him. Fake nigga.
>>541682303>Thoughts on Expeditions: Rome?On my list of games to play. Why did they make Cleopatra's tits so big.
>>541682987>Why did they make Cleopatra's tits so big.Because men are pathetic creatures.
>>541682749>that imageliterally just have sex with women and stop thinking they should be respected and you’ll be fine. why do weird niggas care about women so much. don’t end up like your loser dads. don’t marry some hoe.
Buy the Collector's Edition
Bloodlines 2 will save this general
sawyer: sry pay piggy you didnt pay me enough to make a game, no romance
>>541682848We'll just have to agree to disagree. Thane was my boy. I forget to add Mordin for ME2 as well.>>541682798>GayborFair enough but all the shitposting about him when the WoTR general was a thing made him grow on me. >KibblesShe is legit the only one with the slighest bit of a compelling narrative. I think all the companions are shit but she's the best out of the bunch.
>>541683331not a crpg
Why would the narrative team prefer a silent narrator? What possible benefit is there to have that?
>>541683737why do you still need mommy to read to you? did you need these reddit posts read aloud too?
>>541682987>Cleopatra's titsGreek women are well endowed.
>i-i-it has nothing to do with the budget How much financial trouble is owlcat in?
>Dark Heresy will have the same amount of dialogue despite being fully voicedDo we believe him, chat?
then we told them we would fix the bugs ppffffftttt hahahahaha
>>541683940Of all the dialogue, narration can't be more than like 10% at most, no? So I highly doubt they're in financial trouble if they decide to make their next 2 games fully voiced and with bigger budgets.
>>541684053Ask this fucker about the melta buffs.
Can we ban speculation about games not yet released unless it's to talk about which women are attractive
If you could make 1 CRPG companion rapeable, who would it be?
Did A Dance of Masks have bad writing, chat?
>>541682303>Thoughts on Expeditions: Rome?A little rough around the edges but all things considered pretty fun
Damn, the cosplays looks really goodhttps://www.reddit.com/r/RogueTraderCRPG/comments/1nyv7ce/some_rogue_trader_cosplay/
Now way is this a smart financial decision. They pretty much have increased their budget by about 50% more than usual for a game that will sell slightly better than rogue trader.
Cassia, my beloved...
>>541684732That guy fucked all 4 of them didn't he
>>541684053Speak to me in paragraphs voice cast
>>541684890You have no idea how much the budget isConsider they had already programmed most of the gameplay, have tons of assets and sounds, etc etcAnd the game is going to be shorterBut even if you were right, long term those slightly more sold copies can easily snowball into many more, you want as many fans as possible, even if short term you could go for a cashgrab
>>541685079>have tons of assetsThey had to redo every asset because DH will have much higher graphical fidelity.
>>541685079>But even if you were right, long term those slightly more sold copies can easily snowball into many more, you want as many fans as possible, even if short term you could go for a cashgrabThis is the same mentality sawyer had for flopfire.
>>541685258Yes, it doesn't always turn out well, in any investment the existence of a risk of failure is implied.
>>541684890It would have been smart if they made quality waifus, but no they gave a bird beast and a plain brownie jane. If the remaining 3 female companions aren't waifu material it will flop. (Assuming it's 10 companions 5 male 5 female)
Gw has been promoting the shit out of dark heresy and inquisitionor are actually popular unlike rogue traders. Owlcat will see a 50% sales increase.
>>541685508Not shitposting, this is true. Inqusition is MUCH more popular among 40K crowd than Rogue Traders in lore and the Dark Heresy TTRPG was also much more popular than Rogue Trader. This will draw more people in.
>>541685459kys
>>541685459A lack of waifus doesn't mean a game will flop however it will perform worse than if it did have waifus.
>>541685459I like attractive characters in my rpgs too but I don't think they're a main deciding factor for whether a game will flop. It certainly helps but you can't polish a turd.
>>541685508I think also cause RT was a success, GW has faith in Owlkek now
If the new companion in the third dlc isnt a nercon then owlcat officially doesnt understand rogue traders as a concept.
>>541685796You have no arguments tranny, the community in every poll and every platform said they enjoyed romance and hope for rome romance content. Look at older gaes, 90% of Mass Effect discussion is waifu talk, same for Dragon Age.
>>541683290not a crpg
>>541686042Are they allowed to be allies with humans. I don't know the lore.
I've only ever bought one Owlcat DLC and it was the Kibellah one. I liked it, but I've not been in the least interested in any of their other DLCs, they all look boring, even the one with two tiefling sluts looked boring.
>>541686069>Look at older gaes, 90% of Mass Effect discussion is waifu talk, same for Dragon Age.more proof that bioware has always been a bad studio that has been carried by waifu faging. Look at other classics like fallout,Arcanum, deus ex, ect... they dont need waifus.
>>541667554>Kibbles is a dlc class.Yes but the new DLC dude, not!Judge Dredd and his cyberdog are nothing like that, they're like Argenta with a familiar from WOTR
Why would they add a non-romanceable companion in a DLC?
>>541686208I only pay for cRPGS I like so, so far Larian is the only one whos getting money, and 2010 bioware
get me out of this *hell hole*
Should I do a heretic bladedancer exe run before it gets nerfed or finish my pyromancer heavy weapon dogmatic run? I'm in act 2 right now.
Are there waifus that Owlkek can add to DH that can unironically increase sales? Is there a romance that would on it's own draw in players to the game? What is it? SoBs, Eldars?
>>541687396So I can get a ork
>>541687813kys
>>541686173yeahthere's different necrons factions and not all of them are entirely genocidal
Would Paizo allow them to make another 1e game?
>>541688469Ok I will take one. I want to see the party seethe.
>>541687813RT fumbled with no Argenta romance, the rest is historythey can add all the necro robot waifus and make Yvraine my personal maid, I dont care anymore
>>541687813Add a null so players can larp Eisenhorn
>>541688578probably not, kind of how wotc would never finance a 3.5e game. They want to advertise their current product to increase sales.
>>541689673Its a shame too, 2e pathfinder is somewhat shit compared to 1e.
Alright Lann.Stand perfectly still. This is for the greater good.
>>541689831everything I've seen is an improvement
Raszard dropped Yrliet for Argenta LMAO
>tfw turn into a bugman>halfwits everywhere praise your work>you don't care, your oneitis still sees you as a background propThis is exactly what STEM feels like.
Razard deserves idira.
>>541691305Why didn't he make a new character for Argenta though?
>>541691861Can't you read? He's a top.
>>541691305Late we know this
>>541691305>>541692238The only thing this man is topping is autism charts.
>>541691305go back 2 reddit
>referring to your own self insert as a top This nigga is probably gay.
>>541687396To add an interesting character. We have enough humans and furfag shit.
>>541685459Dragon age inquisition is the best selling bioware game and it has 0 attractive romancable females. It even uglifies cute prior characters.
Owlcat realizes the whole point of being a rogue trader is that I get to be han solo but the government approves of all my illegal shit right? Where is my cool alien sidekick that does nothing but be a yes man and kills everything for me?
>>541692859based
>>541693027Abelard kill this retard.
Abelard should have been a xenos.
>>541692639Holy Terrabased>>541693027That would be Abelard...xenos are still heresy, and while RT can be over the law about certain things, heresy is still a pretty big deal, we see this in the game tooI also think they are cowards but for other reasons: like the first real time it would make sense in one of their games to have, in a fucking 40K GAME, scenarios in which we deploy and fight with our personal army in cases of revolt/heresy etc. but no, only WOTR and Kingmaker can have these gimmickall we got is only spaceship battleslop
>>541692859I like CassandraI haven't played the game though and probably never will
>>541693545She's a good romance but she's the uglified character I mentioned.
>>541693636>uglifiedLet's not act as if she didn't looklike a boy in DA2.
>>541693541>xenos are still heresyNot if your the rogue trader henrix explicitly states that having xenos is one of the few rights you have as a rogue trader that he cant do shit about even as a member of the inquisition and it bothers him
>>541693987She looked alot more feminine and younger in 2.
>>541694031>sure you are allowed to do this as a rogue trader and even as a member of the inquisition I cant do anything but you shouldn't do this because [GLOWIE FAG NONSENSE]God i hate henrix so much.
I was too busy fucking Merrill in public without a condom while bending her over and slapping her butt and groping her perky little elf tits to ever pay attention to Cassandrajk I didn't play DA2 either
>>541694419Jimmy melt this anon's guts

I'm tired of all the licensed games slop. Owlcat better start posting info on their orginal IP.
>>541695380Likely won't be out for at least 5-7 years
>>541695380>Owlcat better start posting info on their orginal IPThe more you get cucked, the more powerful your character becomes
>only owlcat and larian make good Computer Role Playing Games>why are you only talking about them in this Computer Role Playing Games General Are you actually retarded or what?
>>541692859What point are you trying to make? Inquisition sold (relatively) well because both Bioware and Dragon Age had built up a fanbase at that pointRT players are not going to automatically buy the DH game just because it's in the same universe
>>541695278The only youtube thumbnail I've seen posted is the shitpost one making fun of owlcats writing.
>>541684053>blame the actorsRofl.Get a good voice director you fucking morons.
>>541695658Replied to the wrong image chud.
>only owlcat and larian make good Computer Role Playing GamesI'm just going to throw it out their underrail is better than any larian or owlcat game and underrail two seems to be nothing but a straight upgrade.
>>541695582Yes, make your shilling less transparentI don't know to know what cosplay shit is posted on r/roguetrader
>savescum the gameLol
>>541694419My main problem is that he never develops. He's like a shittier version of Regill and never feels like the RT's actual friend or even a comrade. Hell even Calcazar feels more like your friend if you went full dogmatic cause he leaves you a message saying he hopes you'll follow him because he could use the help. Too bad Owlcat are shit so he still acts abrasive despite asking you to show up in act 5 but still.
>>541695594>just because it's in the same universeThe gameplay is extremely similar. If they liked RT, they will most likely get DH
Owlcat better make another fantasy game after 3 sci fi ones
>>541696020why does she sit like that
>>541695873>never feels like the RT's actual friend or even a comradeDogmatic retinue are subordinates and associates, not friends or comrades.
>>541696094She's bored and wants big angel cockBut is denied to her, for angels do not consort with demons! NEVER! BEGONE! ENOUGH! SILENCE!
>a novel crammed into a crpgThis isnt a criticism, Russians are known for their exceptional writing and owlcat meets that standard. The writing in the games they make is on par with Chekhov,Tolstoy,Dostoyevsky and Akhmatova ect... you cant complain about there being alot of writing in a game when its all master class wordsmithing.

What's the best way to kill nenio? My patience has reached its limit.
>>5416993100/10 bait

>>541699324Don't take her in the first place. I wish her random event were entirely removed too, but unfortunately a character has to be black before a modder dedicates the time to autistically do anything.
>>541699536No, I'm directly asking you. How are jokes being cracked in a rare and unusual instance synonymous with Marvel quips, which are typically categorized by being superfluous and out of place? Or has the term reached the status of many modern phrases in that it doesn't actually mean anything anymore and is more just a vague expression of the speaker's nondescript feelings in the moment?
Chinese femcel is still doing it. At least she dropped Jimmy
>>541699707I watched Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings - Extended Edition and HBO's Game of Thrones, am I good to go?
>>541699926yeah you're fine

>>541699967>Gene WolfeIsn't he the inspiration for Fromslop?
Even though I know peace is considered the better option for Janus I cannot bring myself to spare the knife-ears. Its dumb how you can have a full void dragon shard and Amarnat and yet the game will still give you heavy losses against the craftworld in the ending slides. Those guys would get massacred.
>>541700328Sorry anon, GRIMDARK
I haven't read a book in like 15 years can I still stay here
We need a Gene Wolfe CRPG where your character gets raped and tortured by Severian with consent
>/crpg/ will tell you that you shouldn't recruit Nenio>/crpg/ will also laugh at you if you don't have Nenio in your partyThese are the schizos telling me what literature to read?
>>541699852This is not really worth responding to but I will, because you made a little bit of effort. You are just trying to deconstruct the answer in order to dismiss it as a criticism. The dialogue is clearly out of place and tone so no one would honestly want to defend it, it would be like defending Minsc's dialogue in BG1 and 2 as serious literature.If I had said it were reddit, you would have criticized that calling everything reddit is also meaningless. Very well, whedonisms, MCU quips, "reddit" (in the context of writing for media), etc are just words and phrases that describe breaking momentum in a piece of media to provide levity, often in a self-ironic manner (but not always).We could spend thread after thread arguing about semantics of words and phrases and it wouldn't matter, it won't change the quality of that writing, however you want to call it.
>>541700480What's the point of maxxing out security on your settlements if it makes no difference? One let the cycle be discontinued was enough to turn Yrilet's home into a wasteland and somehow I'm meant to be believe these stupid fucks would be able to survive. I really wish they would revise the ending slides and fix this but the fanbase is full of waifufags and eldar fanboys so it won't happen. They're too busy talking about their shitty crushes.
>>541700882I've had that complaint from the start and I think they said they'll "fix" these but its Owlcat, they're probably referring to something else.
Ok guys hear me out, million dollar ideaCRPG... but it's sandbox RP multiplayer using an RTS engine
>>541700795>The dialogue is clearly out of place and toneHow? It's quite literally the retinue reacting to the realization that one of them needs to crawl through shit for them to progress. Even then, the only element of this that could be proposed to be out of tone or character is Abelard dropping his professionalism. Idira tries to get under Argenta's skin and knock her down a peg co throughout frenquently through the entire game.>Very well, whedonisms, MCU quips, "reddit" (in the context of writing for media), etc are just words and phrases that describe breaking momentum in a piece of media to provide levity, often in a self-ironic manner (but not always)That's insane broad. By that logic and like that other anon said, Shakespeare's plays should be considered to contain marvel quips.
what if I make an exact merc duplicate of Nenio, but then don't let Nenio join the party...
>>541701503>*frequently throughout the entire game.
>>541701503The "comical" has no place in any work of fiction not meant for consumption by proles and plebes.Yes, that includes Sh*kespeare's comedies, whose primary audience were illiterate townspeople.
>>541700949It won't ever be fixed, I'll just headcanon a massacre but its so fucking stupid. What was even the point of helping out the harlequin?
>>541701503>insane broadIt has to be out of place from the rest of things, the problem with it here is its both derivative and character-breaking. You said it yourself, Abelard breaks character to deliver a line derived from a 30 year old movie that turned it into a meme originally, Argenta responds to Idira in a way thats out of character for her as well, or at least too silly for her usual.This isn't (just) some situational humor in an action sequence, and its not clever jokes in a comedy. It comes across like the kind of humor you might get in some discord RP group.

I think I figured out what's missing from the mythic paths. There's no fey path. Azata is the closest thing but its too good-aligned.I wonder if Owlcat wanted distance from Kingmaker, but there should be a mythic path option where you can become some great satyr-lord that brings the TN power of the wilderness to heal the worldwound or something else of that nature.
>>541703780I wouldn't know because I actually have sex
>>541704183Technically Bane did it first.
>>541704403Oh wow a sex haverKill yourself faggot normie shitter
>>541704378Fey are NOT true neutral. Becoming an avatar of the Land of Sarkoris (Green Faith) or something like that would fit your description better.
>>541702806yeah, how about you?
>>541704403>He doesn't know how much crazy nerd pussy is out thereI'd say I pity you but they tend into evolve into crazy cat ladies and make poor long term partners.
>>541684936That portrait is all wrong. Everyone knows Cassia is an expressionist.I imagine her works as a bit like Delilah Copperspoon's paintings in Dishonored 2. Recognizable, but filtered through the sight of a powerful sorceress.
>>541704778Avatar of the Land is also a good interpretation of a missing Mythic Path, you're right also, I was conflating fey with druid stereotypes. Still, I wouldn't mind something like that even if it were CN or whatever.

The liberation of Drezen segment really shouldn't be as long as it is, a lot of those sequences could've been handled with those narrative book events instead of fighting surprise Vrock and giant bug groups every several feet.
After more testing I have discovered melting armour does not work with the heavy bolter. As such the pyro heavy weapons build is only worthwhile whilst using the ripper in act 1 up until around Janus when you have enough feats to switch over to the bolter. After this point pyro offers nothing and every other class would be better. Pyro does triavalise the Aurora fight by reducing his armour to zero in two bursts which is nice however this build is a dud.
>>541706485>getting filtered by one of the best parts of the game
>>541706909What makes the endless slog of street battles so good?
What is the dumbest take on Dark Heresy you've seen?
>>541707247It being good
>>541707052They're not endless, I counted them. It's an endurance test for whether your character is actually worthy of a Mythic Path. If you rested or savescummed even once during the siege, you shouldn't even get your powerup desu and just stay at Mythic 2 for the rest of the game like a putz.
You know what would make WotR better? Every time you meet a new demon or significant enemy, there should be a cool first-person cutscene introducing the enemy type like in Doom 3.
>>541707443I usually try to go as far as I can without pressing R but if it needs to be done I mean
>>541707443I didn't say they were difficult. I said it was a slog. Its just boring fight after boring fight. You can disable the turn based mode and just clear them, but because of the surprise spawns you're forced to bring your focus back in instead of just letting it ride.Its not worthwile content. It'd have to be reduced by half at least to be worthwile content. Increase the difficulty after reducing the encounter count if you want, it'd be way more fun to face fewer meaningful battles than numerous boring ones.
>>541707852I would just want more combat effects to be in place. Like more abilities, combos, lair effects, bosses with multiple initiatives, more complex effects. But what I would want isn't feasible for rttp
>>541707889Imagine using the vescavor war crime weapon and then taking a rest while your soldiers are food for the swarm
>>541708103>I said it was a slog. Its just boring fight after boring fight.If you're bored of the high octane action packed gameplay of having one of your characters Destructioned by a Vrock Votary, having a bad roll against a Shadow Votary casting Phantasmal Killer, or the Mad Kellid going first and getting a full round of attacks against one of your party members instead of the summons you try to use as a meatshield, then this game isn't for you. Maybe you should play Diablo 2 instead?
>>541707443Wish there were more battle maps like Drezen.

Why is Obsidian considered a great RPG studio?One thing I've felt about Obsidian for as long as I've known them as a studio is that they're decidedly mediocre, and from the general reception of their games among both the press and gamers at the time, their games were widely regarded to be such, too. At best they're flawed gems, at worst they're derivative slop the devs phoned in to get a paycheck.Yet for some reason, the RPG community as a whole tends to have a positive view of Obsidian, some even considering them a legendary studio, one of the best in the genre.The only reason I can think of why people hold Obsidian in such high regard is that they kept making RPGs when the market was drier than the Sahara desert. RPG was a dead genre according to big publishers, yet Obsidian kept trying. Kudos for that, I guess. Doesn't change the fact that their games were always mediocre. Flat, muddy water may be better than no water at all when you're in the desert, but when you get back home and take a fresh bottle of sparkling water from your fridge, you realize how colossal the difference is.Early in Obsidian's career, they were essentially the little brother of Bioware, doing sequels and spinoffs of Bioware games.KotoR 2 was their first, and while Avellone's take on Star Wars lore is interesting and the writing is great, but many Star Wars fans were disappointed by how un-Star Wars it feels because of that. Also the level and encounter design is significantly worse than the original KotoR's, many locations feel rushed, and parts of it were unfinished, to the point that modders took years to create a proper restoration project.Then came Storm of Zehir which I never played, but it seems to have had a mediocre reception overall.
>>541726472Then they made Alpha Protocol, which had a cool and unique setting for an RPG, but the gameplay was very obviously just a copycat of trends of the time. Rudimentary stealth system, cover shooting, Obsidian merely copied trends instead of setting them. And again, the overall reception of this game was decent, but I didn't see anyone call it a masterpiece.Their next game was the only true smash hit they ever landed, Fallout: New Vegas. This time, they weren't Bioware's sequel-bitch but Bethesda's. Again, it's a game that re-uses another dev's engine and assets, and even more so it recycles ideas from Fallout Van Buren - which isn't a bad thing, considering many of the devs involved in New Vegas had also been involved in Van Buren. I'm just pointing out that it's interesting how their best game wasn't something they came up with from scratch, but something they had already had ideas for long before Obsidian existed as a company.Not gonna say anything bad about this one, New Vegas was a miracle considering the short development cycle. Their one masterpiece.And we all know where it went from there. Mediocrity after mediocrity. But to get Project Eternity funded on Kickstarter, they had to have a reputation as a trustworthy RPG developer. And they did have that reputation!But why? And how?Excepting New Vegas, they had nothing but mediocrities under their belt. The reception of their games among both gamers and press has always been lukewarm. Not great, not terrible, just serviceable. Certainly not best RPG ever material. Usually lacking compared to the original game it was a sequel to. Fans of KotoR, NWN, Dungeon Siege were all disappointed with Obsidian's sequels. Not the worst thing ever, but not as good as the original.Why, then, their good reputation, when their games were always considered mid-list when they came out?
>>541726472>Star Wars fans were disappointed by how un-Star Wars it feels because of thatAs a hardcore star wars fan prior to Disney I didn't find KotOR 2 to be un-Star Warsy, I enjoyed it quite a bit when it originally came out, in fact. At the time of its release the concept of grey jedi and force-neutrality were main topics of discussion amongst fans.>Why is Obsidian considered a great RPG studioLack of options, same reason people accept Owlcat and Larian. Obsidian is better than either of them, but none of them are as good as golden-era Bioware.

I posted about this last night, but does Rogue Trader have quests that you can solve in multiple ways, and a lot of player choice and freedom? I like the combat quite a lot, and the setting is great.

your response?
Finishing up this lower-right area and then I think we're closing in on actually completing the game. I've milked a lot out of this game but I am looking forward to moving on. There's a lot of flavor-reactivity as well as actual reactivity. For instance Larry often has little reactions to things people say that are clearly unique to having put him through rehab, as well of course as all his typical barks being updated. And you could pretty easily miss out on him. I missed out on having Smiley but he was a dummy anyhow. And of course I missed out on everyone who I didn't pick. So if you like flavor text this game has a lot of it. A few characters have traits that give additional dialogue sometimes as well (Scoundrel, Negotiator, Psycho) I wouldn't suggest the game purely on this kind of social/reactive basis though, it's for sure more on the combat side of things. But I find the combat a lot of fun, too. Maybe I'll do a review when I finally finish, but in short what I thought would be a week-long playthrough of a mediocre game has been a few months of playing that I've really enjoyed. I think I would play again in a year or so. I feel bad this game has slipped under the radar, or maybe it has some major flaws that don't affect me, who knows. Maybe 8/10, 8.5/10

Underrail is a great game but it's inferior to Fallout in all aspects apart from UI and basic (pre-patch) stability.Fallout has:better writingbetter premisebetter worldbetter enemiesbetter social commentarybetter combat (yes, for real)better endgame in both 1 & 2better overall vibes and worldbuildingbetter intros, hooks, inciting incident(s), and resolutionsbetter feats & perks, and iconic Pipboy mascot on the artbetter area assets and general visual flare, especially in urban mapsProps to Styg for making Underrail, I enjoyed the game. But it's nowhere near Fallout's level.Gonna buy the sequel to support his work, it'll probably be a lot closer to Fallout than the previous game was.
>>541699310>Hardy. Har. Har.This is what ruins it
get real dude, fallout is a party game. combat is dull and carried by death animations. all the good writing is in 2 that people get mad at for being reddit. not the first major post apoc game either too, wasteland came first

>>541739536I'm too much of a retarded zoomer so I've yet to play Fallout, but I absolutely love Underrail. What's a good build for a new player that lets me see the most amount of content? Is it nearly as min-maxy as Underrail? It's not a deal breaker for me, but I still want to have an idea of what I'm getting myself into.

>>541741918You know what they say, "write what you know"
>>541741918That was so tone deaf. Jae seems like the kind of woman who knows how to please a man, and that is not the way you please a man
>>541741272>jae felt like a character they really wanted you to likeI thought it was the opposite. She constantly undermines your authority. She seems like a character you're merely supposed to tolerate for the sake of profit (and her skill checks).
>>541742098>that is not the way you please a manYou'd know all about that I suppose

Should I switch to another character and just recruit her batty self or stick with it?
>>541741409I like Ulfar.

Rogue trader doesnt convey you having nearly limitless wealth well. I think its because the item selection is limited im a rogue trader why can I only get mid eldar weapons (lore wise) by late game? calgios has top tier necron shit thats what i should have late game the "end game" power armor is should be the stuff I unlock mid and by end game I should be making custom power armor like other super rich 40k elites do.
>>541745061Calligos is just better than you. Yrliet would have slept with him if she'd met him first, and Jae would have been completely forthcoming about her past.
>>541744630>>541744630Is there even any particular reason why you should let literal magic Hitler go? I admit it was particularly satisfying watching Wenduag rubbing that "sweet spoil" line over and over again in her face though
>>541746137She does end up actually helping you out on certain routes
>>541745061>I should be making custom power armor like other super rich 40k elites do.In the ttrpg that was a mechanic, once you hit a certain pf and have enough resources you could craft items. It was a regular or xenos tech check depending on what you wanted to make.
>>541747247even in like low level RT if you had a decent exploritor he could modify the fuck out of existing stuff into being alot better Which is like endgame for DH and OW funnily enough
Speaking of resources in rogue trader i can only think of two times xenos tech was required for something and they were both very low checks, wtf was the point of xenos tech?
>>541747591There's a xenos tech skill?
>>541747591>xenos tech in a 40k gameummmmmm that's not lore accurate?
>>541747743its one of the resources you can mine and/or make.
>>541749073Oh yeah I remember now.Kinda stupid, all the other resources were used a lot
CONSPIRACY THEORY!!owlcat was going to add a crafting system similar to the table top but it got scrapped and all the useless xenos tech you get was supposed to let you craft super OP items like in the tabletop. Thats also why the weapons and armor system feels so lack luster.
>>541749874There was also going to be a proper trading system like Freelancer or Elite, hence the factional reputation. Footfall would have had real importance as a trading hub
Romances involving a Rogue Trader should be much more political instead of brainless BioWare style romances. Like a planetary governor trying to marry his daughter into a powerful and established Rogue Trader dynasty. Less about mushy feelings and more about securing trade routes, military support, or influence in the sector. Cassia was a step in the right direction but I wasn't able to use her position as the head of a navigator house to benefit me a ton.
I need to find a way to get 2 dogmatic on my heretic run for those sweet ignites. What happens if I let Vyatt live and is there a way to sacrifice the eldar on Janus? I'm gonna go out a limb and say that I will need to keep Yrilet around before I can sacrifice her.
the xenos skill check is used to disable xenos land mines and traps. Most traps throughout the game are demolitions skill checks but around eldar and dark eldar areas you'll get xenos skill checks to disarm theirs. So it has some practical use.
>they updated it so now solomorne shoots jae when you order her execution since he hates herNeat.
>>541753495Everyone hates Jae.
>>541695771>Underrail TwoIt's not a traditional CRPG though, it's "roguelike" with simultaneous turns, where every action you do (in combat mode) progresses time-ticks where other participants also gets to do stuff simultaneously.If you've played Chocobo Dungeon 2 (PSone) you'll know what I'm talking about.
>>541754006The combat system isn’t what defines a game as a roguelike or crpg. Your take is really bad. Underrail is clearly a crpg.
>>541740548For FO2? Unarmed gets the most content because 2 has Unarmed exclusive content (boxing/martial arts competition) for whatever reason.Min-maxing is not necessary at all because end-game on 2 is trash-easy, with only the early-midgame being hard unless you metagame for equipment (early powerfist), don't do early APA unless you're a pussy faggot though.Gambling is also OP since you can get infinite money really early with Redding slots, 130 gambling for highest bet guaranteed win.For 1, just do a small guns only build, energy/big guns has no early game options. Leaves you with a lot of free points to put into whatever you want.I'd laugh at you for being a metafaggot if you go small guns with more than 5-6 agility on 1 though.
>>541754616To add, you can clear out Navarro and the Oil Rig just fine even with Unarmed only characters.For the plasma turrets (probably the deadliest enemy in the game in terms of damaging you, more than Frank even), you can crit their sensors/eyes to blind them and they won't shoot at you, just take the perk that gives you movement points.
Bladedancer or Subductor tank?
>>541752739Yes they all needed an upgrade.Jae should have been running Footfall, Yrliet should have been the daughter of a farseer of a major craftworld that hasn't been exploded.And both Calligos and Incendia should have been romanceable by the appropriate gender.Kibellah could stay your cute trash-gfAlso the romances should have been consummated early so there was time to explore the implications Eg attending a council of Rogue Traders with Incendia as your lady and the implications of uniting the houses Or meeting Yrliet's parents

There's also no cooldown on Fallout 1/2 for doing this like Underrail does with health hypos.

>>541758353It's Sawyer's autism I guess.But I noticed how dry and bland the companions are in both games. Sawyer once admitted that he doesn't like "wacky" companions, but I feel like at one point the writers overcompensated and made all the NPCs simply too boring for me to care.

Sawyer could learn some lessons about how to make interesting companions from bg3. The game has only been out for 2 years and the companions are already solidified as some of the most recognizable and iconic dnd characters of all time.

>>541755582Give charisma to melee attackers because you need to take some gay Dazzling feat so that you can later take Cornudo Smash and then a bunch of supplementary feats that use it as a prerequisite so that you debuff everything that gets auto-scared of your free intimidation checks.If you're dual-wielding ignore all that and just take all the dual wielding feats but also be a fighter and not any of the other classes because only fighters get Fighter's Finesse.If you're an arcane caster ignore everything because the only spell you need is Scorching Ray and the mythic power that lets you ignore resistance to fire, take one level of a sneak attack class with the feat to boost your sneak attacks by 1d6, four levels of some arcane class (probably sorcerer) and dump the rest into arcane trickster so you can be a scorching ray sneak attacker. Take metamagic feats solely to be able to populate other spell slots with scorching ray.There, that should cover everything really. You get two hexers that exist solely to be hex bots, also, if you want camellia or ember along, or you can follow some unnecessarily complex sequence in an obscure post on the internet to make Camellia into some kind of weird air+ice hex front liner that never actually works well in practice.
Im tired of faerun I get they keep using it because its the most iconic dnd setting but doesn't wizards also own MTG? Why not use the dnd system but it takes place in ravnica,dominaria or Innistrad?
I hate Argenta cause she robbed me of the chance to kill Theodora myself. Imagine making Edelthrad your heir and dying to a single bullet, what a pathetic rogue trader.
>>541760331>they keep using itThey don't though, the last few crpgs outside of Larian's cashgrab were in Golarion, a much more boring kitchen sink.
>>541760619>GolarionThats pathfinder not dnd
>>541760308Thanks for the advice. Is building properly important on normal difficulty or can I homebrew my way through that?
Here's what Revan and CRPGBro report on patch.
>>541760837Sounds like a step in the right direction, but I doubt the overall difficulty will be fixed. Will still most likely be easy and need more balance patches to put it up to speed.
>>541760343Argenta is just almost as much of a liability as Yrliet, minus actively getting you stuck in the crawlspace underneath reality.All Argenta does is make a nuisance of herself, interfere with you, and demand that you take her on little errands. She'll even give 82 trillion of your dollars to the Drusians if you let her.
What in your honest opinion without shitposting would Owlkek need to do to fix RT's balance - it being too easy?
Harrowed World: Portents In Red>bloodlines 2
>>541761093What the fuck? How does this even happen?
>>541761343Remove all the unlimited stacking and add hard caps to abilities. Also buff the ministorum priest
>>541761434Foulstone colony event, one of the options is supporting the local religious lunatics in a great quest to collect relics of Saint Drusus or someone. Argenta says it's a great idea and you should support them financially. She offers to take care of the details.
>>541761093This is a bug tho, PF loss should be low
>>541761434Bugged, not meant to be that big. It's supposed to be like -5 PF
>>541760837I hope they remember to fix the XP gain for the new DLC as well instead of having to fix it in the months afterwards
>>541761343>delete momentum and all heroic powers>remove buff stacking and allow only one instance of each buff>rework the armour system/remove nearly all armour penetration or stripping talents, this will buff meltas and other high pen weapons that are overlooked right now>alter the intiative system so less of a focus on agilityThat should be enough to stop one turn bullshit but if it isn't lower damage across the board or add more interrupts. Agility needs a nerf because it increases you turn order and gives you dodge which is a superior defence to tanking. I would also recommend buffing tankier classes and making heavy armour/power armour more of a game changer.
>>541761343It doesn't matter, people play the game for waifusTo fix it do this>rework Jae's portrait to be hot, change her talking about past bf and strip poker>Make Yrliet have sex with you at the end of romance questline>make Argenta romancable>make Cassia have children with you>give Kibbellah an ending where she can do her duty and service your cock without leaving>make Vistenza romancable for Heretic>make Jocasta hotter and extend her romance>make Abelard's grandauggter romancable>give the option to have Eldar/Dark Eldar sex slaves>make harems an option
>>541760704This is a crpg board, we're talking about crpgs. If you're only talking about dnd crpgs then the only 5e games have been set one in a custom setting and one in Faerun. Before that there was a very long period with no dnd crpgs until we get to Pool of Radiance and Temple of Elemental Evil, so one Faerun and one Greyhawk. It only starts to imbalance towards more Faerun if we go back even further to the legacy era that lasted from the Gold Box games (Curse of the Azure Bonds, Menzoberranzan until IWD 2.
>dark heresy confirmed to be fully voice actedImagine LISTENING to owlcat writing, like unironically sitting through all those hours of exposition and trash dialogs. Nightmare fuel
>>541760819>Is building properly importantEveryone insists it isn't even on harder difficulties but I haven't found that to be the case above Core. On normal difficulty it definitely isn't so do what you want.
>>541761434It can't. That's a bug that someone reposts often to mislead people. Taking Argenta's suggestion in that Foulstone event only loses a few PF and it opens up some later trees for positive events so it's the one I usually choose. Consistently choosing the faithful options has various upsides.It's a shame this place has people who deceive others about the games we discuss. I'm not sure what circumstance drives a person to be this way.
How can I play Pathfinder WotR with some engine reading the quests similar to wow?
>>541762768Hopefully they will pace the dialogue differently?Less walls of text and more back and forth
My predictions for when dark heresy releases:At least 1/3 of abilities wouldn't work at launch,,A stupid minigame that wouldn't work,Combat based upon stacking 564646546841351856746564646834368 debuffs and 65463543684631 buffs to get 4613654545186764 attributes so I can deal 5643646531685343516156 damage against a enemy with 75161515536468346534685441634685468748946541856468 hp.If you don't stack 365483964863748943 buffs and debuffs, any common enemy can survive 54465053 shots of bolter in the face.Stacking 4645456 extra turns so endless buff stacking is easier.Zero cool psyker powers and those who will be in the game will be 4e tier bad powers(like domination that can't dominate people in RT)All powerful weapons like Bolters and Plasma guns will be anemic as lasguns,Leveling up will be a shore and not fun and rewarding.The last 1/3 of the game will be borderline unplayeble mess till two years after the second DLC release
It's kind of depressing trying to look up art of characters online and getting nothing but AI for page after page after page. It's completely fucking soulless.

I’m going to drop kingmaker now that I finished chapter 4. I’ll replay it eventually more mindfully. Think im just going to try out WotR. Companion auto-level is on by default for normal difficulty. Should I keep it auto or is it important to level them manually? Leveling everyone manually in kingmaker was really boring to me.
>>541763119>the kindest woman she met

>>541763391These game systems are really boring because Paizo thinks more options = better. I recommend leaving it on auto.
>hurr yrliet cheats on you with marazhai after you dieOnly in her evil pirate ending, and only if you go out of your way to keep him alive, to the point of indulging his every whim. She learned from you.
I hate how you can talk about all sorts of fetishes and sexual fantasies about CRPG waifus from monster rape to bestiality to pedophilia to scat and cuckoldry and it all stays up. But if you mention that one fetish wich is honestly not as bad as half of these, you get insta-jannied.Same way you could be as off-topic as you wanted to in the past before the 4chan hack, but if you shat on Raszard you got insta-jannied
>>541762236>Make Yrliet have sex with you at the end of romance questlineAll it needs is to modify the models so she's holding your hand during the meditation scenes. You can imagine the rest.
What fetish?
>>541763762The point is that she would rather bang Marz than you. You do more for her than everyone else in her life and she still views you as a disgusting freak. She also refuses to let you have sex with anyone else so you are quite literally stuck in a sexless relationship with someone who is physically repulsed by you and leaves you for extended periods of time without saying anything.

I love all these little mini talents that you collect for story decisions or dialogue choices or exploration rewards. A few of them are pretty strong, but many are just flavor. bg3 had a bunch as well. It's a really nice little feature in an rpg.
>>541763685Thanks for the response. I’ll keep it on auto. Cheers!
>>541764262This is unironically true and one of the most humiliating "romances" in a rpg. Yet people will employ mental gymnastics to defend it. Either Yrliet simps or redditfags who feel like they must counter signal incels on everything to the point of going "I'll say 2+2=50 to own the chuds"
>>541764262I'll call you Gunther Hermann with the amount of headcanon you have there
>>541764262Canonically she ends up as a warrior and has nothing to do with Marazhai, who is light years away doing pirate stuff. You must have fucked up somehow

And they are the most explicitly said to have bonded.>inb4 IT'S IDIRA AND JAE AND LITERALLY NO ONE ELSE I WILL KEEP FORCING THIS COPE
The only romance Rogue Trader needed was with Vistenza Vyatt.
>>541764701She only does that if you've been filling her head with nihilistic crap the whole game
Do you think Dark Heresy will manage to have a romance that tops the level of mindbreak that Yrliet inflicted upon /crpgg/?
>>541764952The Expanse will mindbreak froggy when it comes out as everyone will talk about it here
>>541764952Yeah possibly. It's easy. All you need is a lot of work with no payoff. If Cassia never went to bed with you, she'd be just as much of a meme.
>>541764952why would it have any? the only chicks are a kroot and a nigger. nobody cares about those anyway.
>>541764952It'll have Yrliet again as the unannounced xeno female. She's a deldar succubus now and your romance will involve redeeming her like Arue, but she still won't touch you.
>>541764892>the goalpost has been moved from not canon to actually it's your faultIt's not nihilistic it's just reject the farseers who caused this shit and be induvidualistic. It's not her fault that Crudarach got ACKed because of other people's choices.But still in that scenario she is not willing to even kiss the human that was kinder to her than her own people and put up with all manner of bullshit for her, but willing to fuck an unrepentant psycho that tortures and murders not just humans but HER OWN PEOPLE for fun.
>>541765314>It's not nihilisticYeah it is. If you tell her there's still hope for her people then she doesn't end up like that
>>541765479You don't know what nihilism means.
Maybe they just meditated together without touching
Yrliet will think that the most deprived Eldar pedophilie torturer that flays children alive after raping them and strangles their parents with a rope made from the butchered child's skin and guts is better than the kindest human in existence.
You know Marazhai also has sex with Kibellah in one ending You really shouldn't let your girl be alone with guys like that
Why do some people try to white wash Yrliet so much?Sure she isn't like in frog's whoreposts, but she does have big issues as a character in general and as a romance.
>>541765825I mainly dislike how she starts out a bit interesting then just doesn't go anywhere really. You start having kinda interesting conversations then it becomes nothing but muh kin muh crudarach
>>541764493Feel free to tell me what is headcanon from what I said but it seems like you have backpedalled from headcanon to >>541764892 "that only happens if".>>541764643Well canonically she gets shot and Maraz gets killed in the arena like a bitch but we are talking about the hypothetical where you let them live after all the shit they put you through.
Pasqal is the only good character because you actually talk about matters of substance with him
>>541765997>Feel free to tell me what is headcanonThis part >stuck in a sexless relationship with someone who is physically repulsed by you and leaves you for extended periods of time without saying anythingespecially >leaves you for extended periods of time without saying anythingwhere does "without saying anything" come from

I want to play Dark Heresy but it's not out yet. So I wouldn't mind playing the season 2 dlc for Rogue Trader in the meantime, but those aren't out yet either. So I would give Osiris Reborn a try while I wait for the others, but that's not out yet either. So I find myself wanting to play some larian space game, but that also isn't out yet. What is a crpg gamer who's played everything supposed to do?
>>541766504I have one of my old wotr saves where I built nenio with one of his builds. I remember he used to have pastebins with the builds. Anyone have those pastebins?

>>541766157Lemme ask you something anon, answer honestly.If Yrliet was real and behaved the way she does in game would you date her?
>>541766440>>541766504funny enough froggy got his troll posts deleted in a previous thread and that included a relatively harmless "omg I can't believe froggy is back" so maybe you're froggy talking about yourself in which case neck yourself
Yrliet is essentially a relationship with an asexual enbie without all the little dressings the terminally online people drape on themselves to validate their mental illness.

>>541774662Yes, and?
>>541775428Crpgs selling well is good for everybodyUnlike multiplayer games, when you finish a crpg most people put it down and play another one, thus the more people get into the genre the better
>>541768204You want str 18 or more, yes.Dex/con doesn't matter much. Dex is probably better on higher difficulty.You don't want int this low because of skill points, you can dump wis.You can leave cha at 14, your casting won't go past level 4 anyway, and nothing else you have scales from cha.Base Half-orc is kinda ass with their passive, you'll want a subrace that doesn't kill itself.
>>541775428It's almost like in real life crpg devs don't all hate each other or something
>>541775428It's a single player game, it's not gonna try to have an active playerbase constantly playing like say League of Legends vs Dota 2 etc. Most people don't just play Rogue Trader over and over, after finishing it a few times they move on to other games until something big like a DLC or two come out.So these guys aren't a threat, just like BG3 isn't
>>541766514They are talking about Rogue trader? I don't see how they can fix that game.Max out parry/dodge, now you are unkillable, woah hard game, doesn't matter if it takes 1 or 3 turns to kill all enemies after that.

I started Pathfinder: Kingmaker the other day and thos game makes me feel retarded. Mostly because I don't understand the combat. I got to the Troll Invasion arc with some struggles here and there but the trolls just kick my ass. Am I supposed to be playing on turn based mode only? I feel like the real time combat is to fast to make decisions about buffs and stuff. I think about hearing someone and they're already dead.
>>541780241Turn based is how the original game plays.A lot of combats can be resolved in 1-3 rounds (18 seconds in realtime) so naturally you won't understand the system well.On core the entire game can be beaten with casting haste and letting your dudes auto attack.On unfair you will get mogged by bugs and kobolds in act 1 hard.In both cases you won't know why that happened.
Do you think Larry's romance be wholesome at least, I hope we get a Tristian-like romance with a shy virgin guy
>>541780770>wholesomeSure but its le grimdark >shy virgin guyI don't think a elf guy will be like that. Im hoping he's mature but cool. Opposite of how Yrl*et is written.
>>541781408Was there even a single eldar character in rogue trader that wasn't an obnoxious cunt?In fact, is there a single one in any 40k lore?
>>541769147You were born in the 2000s zoomie
>>541775469Its slop in space. Of all space settings, Starfinders' is the worst. Its the Golarion of scifi.
>>541780241The problem with the troll arc is whoever designed it originally (I don't know if its in the original tabletop campaign of Kingmaker or if its Owlcat's design) decided they'd pat themselves on the back by being "clever" in making it so there are trolls with fire immunity.The reason for this if you're absolutely new to D&D-originating video games is everyone knows trolls are weak to fire or else they regenerate. This is true in virtually every form of D&D from time immemorial.So you get hit with fire immune trolls and if you don't have anyone with access to acid spells you just get your ass handed to you because you weren't gifted with enough hobby meta knowledge to realise something subversive is happening.
>>541783823To be fair to Owlcat, they do warn you of this and give you sufficient items to proceed since Trollslayer is one of the earlier greataxes you can find and you can coast of that. I think DoM also has acid too and it's one of the best longbows in the entire game or at least you can put it on Ekun and not worry about it.
>>541773024New crpg sisters!
>>541781408>Opposite of how Yrl*et is writtenThis is guaranteed. Male Yrliet will give femcels an ick
Dual wielding rapiers shouldn't be this strong for how retarded it looks.
>>541784469Yeah, and every caster gets acid splash that can be tossed on a fallen troll too. The game does try to compensate for this "gotcha" pretty well.Though I think its fine to just run trolls straight even if hobby veterans know exactly what to do with them because there's always newcomers who get to enjoy the baseline troll gimmick for the first time.

Question for the non-shitposters:If there is a female Eldar romance in Dark Heresy, what are the chances she isn't Yrliet and actually has a non-humiliating relationship with the player? Doesn't even have to be sex, just having some normal couple dynamic, not "I'm disgusted by the mere thought of touching you"Of course a human x eldar relationship won't be normal, but at least have it feature some basic physical affection and light eros love.Are Owlcat and GW opposed to this and wanna make it weird for guys for whatever reason or was Yrliet just a bad writing experiment poorly executed?
>>541785385I can't coom to a game I know nothing about its over
>>541785406I don't mind, best cultivate an artstyle instead of chasing "realism".
>>541785643This general is one of the last places on this site where that's an insult. Now get off my lawn, faggot.
>>541785775No but seriously sex appeal aside, who does that appeal to? Why are these cartoony bugs in my space setting?
>>541785772You're asking a shitpost question while demanding non-shitpost answers.
I miss having a Bard around. You don't know what you had until it is gone.
>>541785927Ignore the schizo let him cry about "humiliation rituals" and how <entity> is anti-white male and genociding them with their propaganda (games)
>>541785772Non-zero is the best I can do. Owlcat have shown they're capable of writing non-insulting romances but you'll be paying extra for the pleasure since they prefer abominations and cuck shit.
>>541785772Yrl*et has light eros in her writing and it doesn't help.
The only reason Owlkek makes games is to demoralize you. Source? I made it up.
>>541786275Suicides in eastern europe spiked after Yrliet romance because white males were denied their rightful space elf sex
>>541786275They're a russian company so there is some legitimacy to the schizoid theory.
>>541786368Good and deserved
>>541786368>eastern europe >whiteIvan, return to the trench
Before playing Rogue Trader, I was happy and hopeful. Now? I drink every day and there are dark thoughts I won't share.
>>541786663Dark thoughts? Like blasphemous ones? Like some Dark Heresy?
>>541785772Here are my thoughts, I think Yrliet was mostly a writer trying to experiment with a unique and alien feeling romance. But it doesn't fit the Eldar that well, since in books they treat romance similar to humans. I don't think Owlcat is against the idea of having an Eldar woman you can have a romantic sexual relationship with. GW however can be pretty autistic about their IP. If Argenta's VA is to be believed, they had Owlcat cut the Argenta romance. They retconned a lot of human x elf stuff in fantasy and 40k. So there is a chance they don't want it. The schizo complained about the double standard of there being male elf x female human in lore while not vice versa, I think that's because they don't want the faction to be "waifuised" since the main demographic of Warhammer playerbase are men. That being said I think there is a 50/50 chance of having a normal relationship. Owlcat writers will try something new instead of recyclying Yrliet, since it eill most likely not be a Craftworlder. If it's a clown or Ynnari they are less reserved in general so might have a weird, but not asexual relationship. Especially if Ynnari is Deldar (given they are fine with raping humans)
>>541786663What you get for going for the tard elf
>>541786403>the schizoid>>541787094>the schizoWhy do you refer to yourself in the third person
>>541786663I too have dark thoughts now. I like Yrliet, but also want to hurt her. I love her most when she suffers
>>541787295MedsI don't even agree with his "anti-white elf bbc" bullshit and explained why I think a double standard exists
>>541787372Alexei...
>>541787461>I don't even agree with this thing you didn't even mention but that I would aware of as the schizohmmm
>>541769067Fake. This is real r63 jimmy
>>541786663I've got beats in my head
>>541787295Schizoid in >>541786403 is being used as an adjective to qualify "theory".It's not saying that's what Owlcat is doing, but it is suggesting that being a company in that country casts some doubt on things, even if its tenuous, in the same way that it is assumed that Tencent serves the aims of the chinks.
>>541787094>unique and alien feeling romanceThey forgot to add "romance" in it
>>541787094>GW however can be pretty autistic about their IP. If Argenta's VA is to be believed, they had Owlcat cut the Argenta romance.Everything else you wrote can be written off as shilling from these 2 sentences alone. Owlcat already lost this battle with Amiri.
>>541787762Do you really think Owlcat video games are propaganda meant to demoralize and destabilize countries that don't align with the interests of Mother Russia
>>541785772GW don't want interspecies shit generally, so I doubt it.
>>541787632What are you talking about, I saw the screencap being spammed, the entire general is aware of it. Even saw it posted a lot on /v/ during Datk Heresy announcement
>>541788020Do you really think you'll learn how to read one day?
People have spent over 2 years of their lives sperging out daily over a space elf not wanting to have sex with them
>>541788240>The only reason Owlkek makes games is to demoralize you. Source? I made it up.>They're a russian company so there is some legitimacy to the schizoid theory.So who are Owlcat games meant to demoralize?
>>541788508Russians
>>541787973VA said it, not Owlcat. She said they were recording lines for it but GW vetoed so it was scrapped iirc In the case of Amiri it was Owlcat
>>541788554Why? For what purpose?
>>541788508Oh you think I'm the schizo, no, I'm not that anon. I only said that it isn't completely outlandish to assume a slav company would serve foreign interests, but some legitimacy to a theory doesn't mean its factually true without evidence. Hence my suggestion you learn how to read.
>>541788192Anyone else think they're making this too early? Starfinder 2E just came out. They only have a core book to pull from. They could have waited until there were more than 6 classes
>>541788723What foreign interests would Owlcat serve in the schizoid theory you defend as somewhat legitimate? Who are they meant to demoralize? Stop dodging the questions
No one cares about Starfinder. When its out it'll be a novel new thing to play and it'll get put in the third-party wastebin alongside all those plucky indie games that anons like to bring up as proof that there's a lot of modern crpgs "worth playing".
>>541788660>She said they were recording lines for it but GW vetoed so it was scrapped iircNo she didnt. Fuck you and your shilling.
>>541788192>literally posting a kickstarter linkBUY A FUCKING AD YOU FUCK
>>541789015I heard this exact cope when owlcat launched the kingmaker Kickstarter
>>541789015Why are you even here
>>541770403The point is, and should be, that NPCs have a semblance of agency and an internal life and motivations independent from the player.
>>541789108How dare he post the source of info on a new crpg. He should be complaining about the space elf not giving him pussy like the rest of us
>>541789102The screenshot of her VA saying it on tumblr has been posted here numerous times. Requesting someone who has it saved to post it to this retard
>>541789294BEGGING FOR DONATIONS IS AGAINST THE RULES WHICH IS LITERALLY WHAT POSTING YOUR KICKSTARTER HERE IS
>>541789015>it'll be a novel new thing to play>new game comes out, play new game>feel that money is well spent vs entertainment providedI really don't see the problem here. As long as it's decent and decently priced, there is only the possible upside of it exceeding expectations.Are you just having a bad day or something?
>>541789346tumblr is only slightly less cancerous than twitter though, how man anons spend a lot of time in hamplanet land?
>>541789401You sure are mad people are talking about video games

>>541789529This is the part where people freak that her VA is fat and trans
>>541789529>argenta voiced by a genderfluid dangerhairMaybe its a good thing there isn't an argenta romance path afterall
>>541785772Honestly I think Owlcat themselves are opposed to certain romances and so they refuse to do them. GW can be autistic so maybe they made the pseudo-Yrilet romance to edge around it and maybe that could explain Argenta but they also pulled this excuse with Amiri back in the day. The corsair will be romanceable since he's a guy but for a female eldar I'd put the chance around 5%. I think the remaining companions that are going to be revealed are all going to be late game ones so you won't have much time with them. I think people are too obsessed with eldar anyway, I would much rather get a witch hunter gf.
>>541789529>Commission me via emailyou know what to do swarmbro
>>541789675why do you care how a VA looks? that's like not liking darth vader because he's voiced by a black man and you're racist
>>541789616Yrl*et's VA is slim and female but Yrl*et is still Yrl*et
>>541789691>Owlcat themselves are opposed to certain romancesThey seem to have a lot of variety already though, what kind of romances would they be opposed to?
>>541789675who gives a shit what the VA look like? Most of your favorite characters are voiced by balding overweight men who are now addicted to twitter
>>541789974female eldar x white human malecan't you read?
>>541789675Yeah we're definitely fucking Argenta.
>>541789675Cassia's Va is also fat before you complain
>>541789529>>541789346The screenshot that you faggots keep reposting says nothing about them recording lines for it. In fact the "I guess" means the VA has no idea. Shut the fuck up, shills. You lost this benefit of doubt years ago.
>>541789563Why are you such a miserable cunt?

>>541789974I don't mean a type of character but rather individual writers who are responsible for a character not wanting to do it. Its understandable, I couldn't for the life of me write a good romance but I could make a half interesting character.

Hey guys is this the general where we talk about waifus from games we haven't played in a genre we hate?
>all the companions are confirmed to be romanceableyuck
>>541790598White straight men are so easy to break
>>541790561Even bad romances are good if you remember to give the player agency in responses and stick to the player empowerment fantasy.Basically a romance has to end with a kind of victory condition, the player gets the girl (or guy), the romance reflects the player's advances. This is why Kibellah works well, since you can mold her into different paths and she's still a viable romance option through each.
>>541790654>we want the guardians of the galaxy audience
My builds in various CRPGs:Dragon Age Origins: Sword and shield Fighter with heavy armourShadowrun Returns: Decker and RiggerPathfinder Kingmaker: Tower Shield SpecialistPillars of Eternity: Sword and shield PaladinThe most overpowered of these builds was by far the Decker/Rigger in Shadowrun. Drones are so damn good.
Are all creative spaniards furries and scalies? Or only the ones in formerly moorish territory?
>>541789691I think they just don't want to make every character romanceable (to save themselves the work) and then it's a lottery who gets what.Like there is no meta reason Jaethal has no romance, she just doesn't because they didn't make it. Same for Argenta and Amiri but people latch on meta excuses.
>>541790654Were cracking the rat. Great now I have to hear waifutard crying about a unknown studio's game.
>>541790654>Capitalism droidSEEEEEXXXXX
>>541790654Which ones are female?
>>541790598Every single minute of every single day, hundreds of millions of women are servicing their bull and choosing to deny you.It's the ultimate cuckolding, and here's the real kicker: You know how men instantly become attractive with a ring on their finger? Well the opposite is true as well. The longer this goes on for you, the more it becomes normalized, the more repulsive you are to them, perpetuating the cycle and locking you further into a state of permanent cuckoldry. In the time that it took you to read this, thousands more have literally forced you into this state. You can almost hear their moans of pleasure.

>>541790805>the player gets the girl (or guy), the romance reflects the player's advancesIs this why Yrliet doesn't work?She doesn't progress anywhere and doesn't reflect anything
>>541790978What does Spain have to do with anything?
>>541791345Is there anything more cucked than getting a stand-in dolly to smooch and fuck your waifu?Think about it. You spend all this time getting your stuntman-dolly just perfect and hoping that your desired romantic partner will be into him. You're basically asking to watch while your "MC" does what you can't.The worst part is that it's even lower than actual cucking, it's cucking yourself with virtual dolls. If you can't see how bad this is then you're already too far gone.
>>541791483Are you touching urself rn?
What's starfinder even like as an actual game?
>>541791414Basically. She's like having a relationship with a severely autistic person. You can be her caretaker, in fact you have to be because her easily broken scene in Comorragh shows she's incapable of self-governance. The only time she ever does anything of self-sacrifice for the main character is if she has to offer protection when entering her spirit stone later, but arguably it'd be better to let her be "fixed" by the farseers and move romantic interest to an actual partner and not a mentally stunted elf.

All I got was a gay little spiel about how "I will save you now elantach" then she jobbed and couldn't convince the new craftworld the survivors summoned not to go to war. Then she proceeded to tell me its not that bad since I will be dead of old age by the time the craftworld shows up.

>>541802420When you have disposable income and a passion for a hobby, it's no big deal to support creators this way.
Put the best new kickstarter in the next thread's OP, /crpgg/ needs to become aware of the newest RPG masterpiece
>>541790071I haven't played rogue trader do you get to fuck the elf if your character is black
>>541802649Consooming on Kickstarter is not passion for a hobby
>>541802417>everyone I don't like is the same personWild thought but maybe there's a theme with olwcat?
>>541802689Are you referring to the new Starfinder game? I'm definitely backing that one
>>541802857Their master plan worked
>>541802954Its the greatest. I wonder if they'll let you play a mouse person or if its just for npcs
>>541802689its not even a crpg tho?
What about starfinder specifically made this dude sperg out this hard.
>>541803038someone has been having a meltdown about every crpg that isn't bg3 for the past week or two
>>541803038>every sperg is the same sperg
I still haven't played Baldur's Gate 3 or Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous or Rogue Trader :)
>>541803275what do you play then?
>>541803330The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
>>541803038I think people in general just don't like furry content. Consider the constant bitching over Nenio in here.
>>541803275I played all of those!
>>541803436then why are you here?
>>541803330Pathfinder: Kingmaker is the current CRPG that I am playing.
>>541803923I used to think WotR was Owlcat's best, but I'm on my third playthrough and I'm starting to realize I have more fun in Kingmaker
>>541803923>>541804020Kingmaker is easily their best work.
>>541804173No way too janky
>>541804651But all their games are jank?
Should we make a star finder general? I think it's too popular for this thread
>>541804173everything is timegatted and tied to a shitty kingdom building minigame with bad load times
>>541804858That may be best especially with how much excitement there is for starfinder
>>541804690Its the most janky
>>541804884I spent most of my gameplay skipping time to make the new chapters arrive, they really do give you plenty of time after the first couple chapters.If anything the kingdom management is only shitty because of how much skipping you have to do.
