A CRPG is replayable when the base combat and encounter design is interesting. So, basically no CRPG since BG2, arguably DoS2, has been replayable at all since they all completely, utterly fail in this most crucial and basic of regards, which is not that surprising considering CRPGs have shifted away towards the mathematically driven combat they used to emphasize and have moved more towards being story driven adventure games rather than true RPGs.

>>543437960
Because it makes them feel unique and special to like a character no one else does. It's like the faggots who think playing some really old, obscure fighting game makes them cooler and better than the guys playing Tekken or SF, or the guy who thinks the indie band only he listens to means his taste is so unique and cool compared to other people who like the popular stuff. It gets really hilarious if by some happenstance the thing these people base their personality on gets actually popular, though, as they immediately abandon it rather than celebrating its success since they can only feel good about it if they're either the only ones or among a small minority engaging in or appreciating it. Absolute faggots, honestly.

This parts really weird since I can see they were trying to do a more psychological torture with her as helping the Comissar was a bad idea but that never goes anywhere. I wonder if someone was against the idea of her being tortured. Everyone else had it bad.

I still feel Argenta should have been brutally raped in Commoragh and as I recall everyone agreed with me the last time we discussed it here, it would've really given much needed depth to her character and made her breakdown and confession much more impactful. Strange that Owlcat didn't do it.

true but she really has nothing going on if you don't stop her from shooting idira. if you do then you get some kino scenes in cumrag later on but if you don't then really nobody cares that she shot theodora lol, even abelard barely gives a shit. idira is the only one that cared lol

Really fucked up skull shape

>>543439939
Yeah agreed. It's too easy
Better option is to have her be fighter in the arena, and actually pretty good at it. Then you meet her in the first fight and she is super happy to see you and joins your side.
The trauma would be her coping with the fact that she survived by agreeing to fight for the xenos' entertainment, and even killed some humans.

But the Dark Eldar would 100% rape her. And it's not like this is Argenta specific. In fact the Dark Eldar would've raped everyone, especially the Rogue Trader themselves, since they are rapacious rapists of the most ravenous sort. Owlcat shouldn't have shied away from showing that side of them.
>>
>>543439221
Argenta should have actually BEEN Saint Argenta.
Lost for a thousand years, emerges from the warp to find a cult has grown up around her, but she knows the truth that she didn't do anything heroic at all. So her growth arc is coming to terms with this idealized version of herself that she can never match.

I would like a crpg in a standard fantasy setting and instead of focusing on the worldbuilding a ton they focus on the interparty dynamics which can shift over time spent in the dungeons and have an effect on combat and stuff, like having a paladin and a fighter that butt heads and keep getting in eachothers way during combat or a thief favoring one party members above the others and giving that person the pick of the litter of the loot he nicks while the others get nadda

If it's no big deal and not special there shouldn't be any problem showing it, though, especially since it would reinforce showing the perfidious xenos as the vile scum that they are, and give the player more reasons to hate them, and show real, genuine torment and trauma being inflicted on your crew. For some reason sexual violence works much better at conveying that kind of thing to an audience, I guarantee that if your entire crew was raped absolutely 99% of players would kill Yrliet rather than just 90%. How many players would sympathize more with Cassia saying she'd rather die than have been raped when pushing for Yrliets execution VS the current scenario where she says she would've rather been killed than go through her horrendous torture?

For some reason stuff like having your organs boiled or being forced into sensory deprivation torture to the point you go insane or being embraced by a fucking Talos pain engine doesn't register to the average person, but you bring up sexual violence and suddenly they actually FEEL the pain and torment being inflicted on the character being portrayed. Which is pretty crazy since extreme physical torture is much worse than rape but yeah that's just how it is in entertainment mediums, which is they Dark Eldar should've raped your entire retinue, so it would actually get across to the player how fucking evil and disgusting they are. Especially imagine the reactions of players romancing Cassia only to discover her horrendous fate, god it would've been glorious to see the xenocidal rage that would've resulted. Real missed opportunity by Owlcat all around.

It's 40K it's not some fairy tale fantasy happy land where fucked up shit doesn't happen. The Dark Eldar are incredibly evil and vile xenos and that absolutely extends to sexual depravity as well, Owlcat should've portrayed it in full so the players fully felt and appreciated how fucked up they are and why the Imperium is ultimately justified in its xenocidal policies. Players should've walked away from Commoragh with a seething, burning hatred of the Dark Eldar and everything about them, and I just feel like due to Owlcat pulling punches that just didn't happen, the entire segment didn't have the weight and gravitas it should have had since it was, at best, a PG-13 version of what would've occurred.

My predictions for dark heresy:
At least 1/3 of abilities wouldn't work at launch.
A stupid minigame that won'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

Being raped would actually have been far less painful than what Heinrix and Abelard actually go through. It still baffles me how people just ignore the level of torture those two specifically go through and just shrug it off. I genuinely cannot imagine ever forgiving the Dark Eldar or Yrliet, for that matter, on those grounds alone. Quite frankly if it wasn't a fictional universe there's no way Heinrix would've survived what he went through with his mind intact, what he goes through is one of the most extreme tortures I've ever seen conceived in fiction or in reality. And Abelard got embraced by a Talos pain engine, no wonder his mind is shattered for the rest of his life. And yet somehow this gets to people far less and doesn't register nearly as much as Cassia getting tag teamed by Nocturne and Marazhai would. Bizarre stuff.

His organs are boiled into cinders while they forcibly use his psyker powers to regrow them while they are burning. They also simultaneously fry all of his nerve endings at the same time to cause even more pain.

Heinrix went through by far the most torture in Commoragh and the closest comparison would be Abelard who also suffered physical agony to the point where his mind actually broke down. Kibellahs torture is fucked, but it's a mental and emotional torture and honestly no sane person wouldn't take that over having their organs boiled and nerve endings fried to a crisp.

Class is just a list of perks and stats. It has no bearing on roleplay, at least in Wrath. Most of us understand that picking monk or paladin doesn't mean that your character has to mentally be a monk or paladin. It's just a gameplay abstraction. So yeah, get as schizo as you want with your dips, what defines your character in the narrative is the roleplay choices he makes in dialogue and through quests.

To be honest, I never liked the build autism of Wrath. I don't like having to make excel sheets and keep notes to see which feats, spells, and abilities synergize properly. I don't like how most feats/classes are basically trash. I don't like having to cast 20+ buffs for every trash encounter through the mid to endgame. I don't like having to keep up with the bugs and figure out which descriptors are lying to me, or which feats will cancel each other out. I can understand the appeal for some people, but it's not for me. The old Bioware RPGs, like BG, ID, and NWN are around the level of complexity I like in my CRPGs when it comes to character building. Whenever I admit this, I get a ton of people telling me to go play COD, as if the only choice is between RPGs like Wrath or braindead shooters.
>>

Your mindset is not unusual. The autists cling to their build autism because it's the only thing Pathfinder does well, even though the Owlcat games are suffering from bloat and many noob traps because of that.

The enemy has dozens of skills and there is usually an ability to counter it (like Delay Poison shuts down any enemy that uses stinking cloud, which is a godsend in the early game), but keeping it all straight is a bit of a nightmare. You'd have to read the descriptions of both your spells and the enemy's (and these are typically filled with fluff and/or wordy or even wrong) then remember that this can counter this, even if it intuitively it should not work, or that this does not counter that, even though intuitively it should.

>the rest of your post
I sense some projected insecurity. I doubt anyone's actually told you to go play COD. It might just be that you don't like how the difficulty scales for your personal playstyle, but also don't want to be called "Normal" (which it sounds like you should be playing at, and there's nothing wrong with that.)
>>
>>543448663
I actually don't. It's fine in moderation, but spending an hour on the level up screen reading through all of it saps my energy and is not all that fun.
>>
>>543448521
Your pic is unrelated to what you're saying, you are using a previously posted (maybe by yourself) image that's some fluff about a class description.

It's really way less complicated than you're making it out to be, and typically just pans out to something like: Pay attention to AC and Touch AC. Pay attention to Will/Reflex/Fortitude.

Like really, that's 80% of it and easily enough to get you comfortably through on Core.
>>
>>543449057
I recommend custom difficulty, because the jump from normal to core is steep. Normal is too easy, enough so that you could run Owlcat's horrible auto level-up, which picks feats that your class literally cannot use to troll you, and still walk over every encounter.

Custom difficulty is perfect, a whole page of settings you can adjust to make your playing experience perfect for the kind of way you want to play.

Core-ish with respec'ing companions into interesting/ridiculous classes (because mercs are boring) for experimenting with synergy can be really fun

I sincerely believe that a lot of WotR's legacy in that regard comes from the fact that they didn't name Core "THIS SHIT IS NOT FOR BABIES", like Pillars with PotD or many other examples.

>>543447183
I think one of the disconnects here is that WOTR is very complex in terms of how to build your character, but extremely shallow when it comes to tactics. Positioning, target priority, timing, etc. are basically irrelevant in WOTR. The only tactic you may need is funneling enemies into a doorway. Otherwise, the game is just about building your character in a way to optimally stack modifiers. You get your 180ac character with 15 attacks a round, crazy accuracy buffs, and multiple damage riders, and they chunk everything.

Rogue Trader, on the other hand, is extremely simple on the build front, but has slightly more depth in the tactics. Cover, explosive objects, traps that affect enemies, strategic zones, and manipulating the turn order all add a bit more depth. It's still not much, but there's more focus on combat tactics than WOTR, which basically has none. The fights feel more impactful as well because there are far less trash mobs everywhere.

So I can see why some people aren't that enthusiastic about WOTR.

Stat bloat is one thing, buffspam is another.
You build each character to independently buff their own stats to high heaven just by existing. You don't need to sit there and do it for them each fight, and you don't need the officer to giver extra turns or buffs, that's just an extra thing you can do if you want.

There's possibilities. This is a genre still being iterated on. Videogames themselves, are still a quite new medium, still defining itself.

I found Jagged Alliance 3's "ironman" system to work pretty well. You could make saves, but things would be overwritten by Enter combat, Exit combat, Enter Sector, Exit Sector. And I turned off saves during combat.
This worked out nicely because I could make some really stupid mistakes, or suffer a bit of misclicking or dumbass pathfinding, but also things were Fucking Over if I jumped in face-first to something I was grossly unprepared for.

BG3's option of "continuing but losing Honour Mode" was decent as well.
Lots of possibilities, the medium is still being defined, even though it might seem "ancient" to those who have never not known internet.

From what I've seen so far, the story is a clusterfuck that only works because everybody is a moron.

Why i first played the og bloodlines i was kinda disappointed by the ending since I was just getting into the lore i though the ending would be something cool where if you opened the box you would doom yourself in a way worse way then death.

I can guarantee you nobody from owlcat read it.

So at most they know the gist of it to not get an F in class but haven't read it. I don't know why it's even part of the curriculum. Nobody reads it, and teachers know it

>>543473289
>>
>>543462169
Kebab, Jae, Solomorne and Abelard are the weakest, they are just regular humans.
Then Argenta. She's got skills, but more importantly - equipment and faith.
Pasqal is here. He has no special abilities but very good equipment. He can potentially go even higher once he gives up the rest of his flesh and installs more augments.
Ulfar and the two retards next I suppose, though psykers can
Cassia is potentially the strongest, but she will most likely get boddied by literally any other person on this list because she's so unexperienced and not a combatant really
I don't know where to put Idira and Jimmy. Jimmy is trained in both magic and combat, so I'd put him over Idira at least, plus he has biomancy. They are probably just below Ulfar and the retards. Kebab would be here if she was an actual psyker instead of just some fag who can do useless card readings once in awhile

Why don't other studios adopt the early access model that Larian had with BG3? it's literally free money

Because they don’t want people to see how shit their games are
>>
>>543486124
Honestly, even larian shouldn't do it anymore. When the bg3 alpha first released, people criticized it as being original sin 3. Because the ui elements were the same from original sin 2 still.
Developers need to learn that most people are retarded and they don't know what early access or alpha means. If it's buggy they'll blame you, if it's not up to spec then your game is already a failure.
They should hire actual QA people instead.

>don't romance a character, that character finds another romantic partner during end of game or is said to have a family with an unamed
Why do people have a problem with this? Of course just like irl, if you don't date and marry someone chances are they will find someone else. The player character not being the center of everyone's universe and the companions having their own lives is good and immersive writing. Like Abelard having his family. Or if say Vigdis x Idira was actually lesbo romance (seems like a friendship, Vigdis gets a husband and names the kid after Idira in an ending if they reunite as frens).
>>
>>543490985
They don't carry about plot realism or good writing they just see the companions as their dollies.
>>
>>543490985
>Vigdis gets a husband and names the kid after Idira
Really? I never saw that. I always get the one where
>Idira wanted to spend as much time as possible with the person who matters to her most - Vigdis
which is odd for just friends. But there's nothing to say that one member of a lesbian couple won't marry a man and have kids in later life, especially given that Idira won't live long and Vigdis has an obligation to her family.
>>
>>543491460

hiring q&a is actually fucking stupid, because the sample size is small enough to not notice problems with design or theyre implanted with preconceived notions of how it should work rather than how it actually works, so you end up with situations like this

Thanks for this recommendation, though I can't read Russian and will be playing in English.
If I recall, I glanced at these games when they were new, saw the mobile phone splash screen and art and Warcraft at Home graphics and didn't give it a second thought. Extremely fun so far, I'm playing the Paladin class. I guess I started the sequel first and will play out of order.

>>543512863
Semi free roam across a set world. You can explore further ahead than your level by winning very hard battles or dodging patrols. It is a strategy RPG where RPG is first, compared to Heroes, which is a strategy game first.

That brings up the question, what is a CRPG?
I think we can all agree that isometric real time with pause role playing games are CRPGs, but how wide does the range go?
Does any RPG on a computer count? definitely not, because that means the Final Fantasy series were not CRPGs until recently when some of the early games were ported over.
Skyrim doesn't count, but does Morrowind? How about Daggerfall? And what's the line that makes it so?
Is it the fact that it has to be a computerized version of a tabletop game? Fallout isn't based on a tabletop game, but Baldur's Gate is.

Let's face it, the Expanse game looks like bargain bin Mass Effect without the cool aliens, and Dark Heresy seems to be a straight up downgrade from Rogue Trader.

What throwbacks to older games do you like to see in CRPGs?
>>
>>543540245
>One of the appendices talks about the Death Gates themselves and how they are basically singularities (i.e., black holes). And I think several of the discussions of the different worlds talk about the void outside the boundaries (i.e., Pryan is fully enclosed and it's just vacuum outside; Abbarach and Chelestra are very cold near their outer surfaces, which is discussed a lot in their respective books). So I think they all occupy some near-ish space in Earth's orbit in the original solar system. I think in the final book Appendix it talks about characters from one world maybe visiting others physically, rather than through the Death Gates, by using spaceships...I can't remember for sure.

>Yes, they do talk about in the 2nd book set on Pryan already, and I think its Aflred that mentions at the very end that the mensch will eventually visit each others' worlds via space travel instead of the Death Gates.

>presumably as you get closer to the borders the air would get too thin to support life without some kind of fully enclosed ship

>This was a plot point in the Arianus books, where the only ones who can survive in the High Realms are wizards, because the air is too thin for the mensch to breathe without magic.

In the Legend. Though Romance is a generous way of putting it. You can marry a several girls and have chlidren with them after doing their quest. Your wife and children accompany you on your adventures and give various stat boosts. The game doesn't take itself seriously, so don't expect some greatest love story ever told

That's what I'm hoping against hope the Starfinder game will be like despite the furry and faggot aesthetic. Just give me Kingmaker in Space, Pablo.

Yes

Kingmaker already takes place in space

why do those critical role guys laugh really loud at every comment anyone makes? are they drunk or acting or something?

>to die
Yeah, I'm sure the "Return to form" in every second review was totally organic
>>
These journalists are gayfags who want attention and any work possible. Devs and their employers tell them what angle to use in their review. These are soulless fags, not real journalists. Think of them as the critical role of gamers.

I wonder which demographics would be so pissed that people decide to spend $80 (not 80$) on video games as if it's the end of the world and not a minor expense

BG2 combat was shit. Every boss fight is a mage with chained instant spells and several rolls vs death. Icewind dale did a much better job in that regard.

Most enjoyment I've gotten out of bloodlines 2 is seeing the meltdowns from people who are still somehow fans of hardsuit labs's cancelled scam

Paying to beta test a game seems to be in vogue.

Finally! I enjoyed it more than kingmaker, I think it is absolutely better in almost every way, but kingmaker also has a certain je ne sais quoi.

If owlcat companions were animals
Cam = bulldog
Wenduag = hyena
Ember = parakeet
Valerie = horse
Galfrey = sawn
>>
>>543547246
Agree. Who was your KC?
>>
>>543528157
I thought the developer even said themselves that vmtb2 isn't a roleplaying game, but an action game.
>>
>>543547365
I meant swan
>>
>>543547365
What are these choices.
>>
>>543547365
i get it
because valerie is a farmer's broodmare
>>
>>543547630
Cam is a bulldog because she's evil and eats babies
Wenduag is a hyena because she's ugly and opportunistic
Ember is a parakeet because she's always nice and she's a nice pet to to have
Valerie is a horse who needs to be tamed but she's also useful
Galfrey is a swan because it's a noble and beautiful animal like a queen
>>
I bet Valerie would watch critical role with the farmer and not you
>>
What kind of animal would Yrliet be?

Lawful Good Paladin/Cleric multiclass, picked Angel as mythic path until I found out it was a lie, so I gave it up. Didn't realize it meant my companions would no longer get mythic levels so they were all stuck at 8. Chopped of Wendaug's head the second I had a chance, though Lann is mostly boring as fuck. Ran Camila through in the basement the second I saw what she was up to. Didn't kill Stich because he was funny (can you actually kill him?). I was expecting to fight and kill Hulrun, in fact I wanted to, I didn't want to attack him outright, unless he was going to attack me or someone else, but that never happened. I was to fight with and kill Reg, but that never happened (maybe because I gave up the mythic power).
Ember and Seelah carried my game, and then I got to add Galfrey too (who I gave fighter multi-class). I wish I got her earlier. I would have loved to have just been smiting every fucking thing left and right with three members after Ember crowd control.

sounds like a good time, what role will you play next

>Cam is a bulldog because she's evil and eats babies
You're thinking of pitbulls. Bulldogs don't eat babies - they are retards that can't breathe.
>>
>>543549557
Pitties are often mixed with bulldogs and they're all the same crappy breed that eats babies

Yeah you should have dumpass. NG4's gameplay is great and Utsav reasonably difficult even on Normal because the game really wants you to learn the new mechanics. Only thing that sticks out is you have to buy some shit that you had by default in older games like on-landing UT

I did get NG4 (Legit) and VTMB2 (Kasballica). I liked NG4 story a lot more, but I feel compelled to finish this piece of shit game because reviews said it's short and I'll feel like I wasted bandwith otherwise

None. I played kingmaker and pathfinder for the first time back to back on core difficulty or whatever. I'm crpg'd out for like a year. That was like a good 300 hours+
>>
PAY *CLAP* ARTISTS *CLAP* WHAT *CLAP* THEY'RE *CLAP* WORTH

frfrfr no ai could ever replicate the art that is critical role
>>
>>543554375
If you have clap go see a doctor

There are so many artists that arguably their art is a deficit.

Only the males, since the source for that is an autopsy of a male in Xenology
The females have a little bit of fat and moderate tits
>>
a shame rt has no eldar females who would show their breasts
>>
>>543555978
eldar have no fat, so their tits are sad pillowcases
>>
Why would they even have breasts? They don't seem to have the need to wean children.
>>

It actually came out? I was honestly expecting this to be stuck in development hell forever.

>>543556475
>>543557256
The only logical explanation is that unlike the males, Eldar females actually do have body fat. Mostly in their curvy tits and asses. The role of the subcutaneous fat layer in storing calories and maintaining temperature is entirely vestigial, and it's sole purpose seems to be attracting mates.
>>
>>543557256
They do breastfeed, they're pseudomammals. The relatively primitive exodites raise children normally.
Breastfeeding is a prerequisite for intelligence because it's the perfect food for fast growing big-brained infants. If we ever meet intelligent aliens, their females will have tits. The more intelligent, the bigger the tits.
>>
>>543557497
They should've just given up on it
>>
>>543558248
You are
>>
>>543558441
I would if I were on my computer, currently phone posting and don't fancy copying and pasting with a touch screen.
>>
>>543558302
It's already pretty vestigial with humans. Size and shape of a woman's tits doesn't really indicate what her milk capacity will be.
