what is "dispatch"? a new crpg?
>>544698337VN actually. Some anon just can't help but spam it here.
Are you guys going to keep both these threads alive simultaneously?
of course
mental illness
nah, ive had enough. they can talk about Rogue Trader in their new Rogue Trader general
Cd project was so hot 5-10 years back. then they stopped making crpgs and made two shitty GTA style movie games back to back
>>544699882ive heard nothing besides Witcher 4 after cyberpunk bombed. Witcher 2 was the only pc only rpg 2008-2015
>>544698256swordhaven doesnt even have a release date. they are just going to sell early access until that dries up. BG3 was 6 years of early access, and act 1 was is over bloated from just selling EA
>>544698256none of those are coming 2026 besides dark asset flip
>island of misfit garbage and classic crpgs I'm home I find it incredibly funny that the brief wave of outer worlds 2 redditors viscerally hate this teh assassin of d00m tumblr throwback girl when she's the only character obsidian wrote with a reason to be so le quirky. In any other game this would be insufferable, but on the curve of this writing an extended "lol so random, boy I sure do love killing" schtick is a breath of fresh air in a game that is 70% girlboss killers they demand you take seriously.
>>544702559how is outer worlds 2 compared to one? im just hearing obsidian hate so far
ima boot up vagrus
>>544702559>screenshotThat's the only good looking character in this game
>>544698351Go over there, tards
was thinking about playing dragon age 3, but i got a piracy claim for dragon age 2 year or so back....already bought it on my xbox fuckers
>>544702559Frog is that you? If so what are your overall thoughts on the game vs the general concencus?Regarding reactivity and C&C?
>>544704747we are splitting into /OWL/ - romances and RT and /CRPGG/. rename your general when you make it please
>>544703341It is pretty fucked at a mechanical and systems level independent of being more cringe. >gun and weapon damage skullfucked by a clearly last minute switch from a weapon upgrade and rarity=damage system like the last time most guns and every unique/smart weapon are just not viable even on normal. Weapon dispersion is also so bad you won't even see a SMG or assault rifle until the late 2nd or 3rd planet. A machinegun you can get minutes after the (hour long) tutorial by climbing a roof is the one copy of the highest damage output gun you'll find all game other than the same gun but legendary being carried by the first worlds boss. It does more damage than any weapon you'll ever find for your build because there is one [gun] stat that increases damage for every single type of firearm in the whole game, assuring most weapons are just flat worse and can't be improved to match something you don't want to use but have to Stealth is in the bad place of fake reactivity, enemies instantly knowing they're being attacked even with silencers and the noise reduction perk when like 2 of their 7 die outside of visual range. Companions also run the 90 yards between you and the guys you're sniping at random just to die instantly because armor is likely bugged further >nothing scales properly companion damage is like 50dps as you fight enemies like hammer guys, mechs and named characters with 2000-5000 health and super armor. They also are downed instantly regardless of investment>bullet sponge enemies that also shoot you to death >armor doesn't work the damage mitigation and armor system is just broken, no matter what you wear it's ~4-6 shots and you're dead on normal from most things as you double jump and try to put a collision box between you and the enemy. AI sucks so they don't shoot you often/use slow firing trash guns(in your hands) as a hedge but there is also no corner lean or cover system so you have to stand in the open.
>>544705730wtf, how are they making down grades of fallout new vegas 13 years later? its like lost technology they could make a more refined mod with the creation engine. in fact the most polished 3d RPG i played last two years was tainted grail which was just a skyrim clone
>>544704932I'm not froganon, but it's just a hodgepodge. Quest design is linear, checks and using skills to discover things don't actually change outcomes, just the dialogue you see in the next immediate dialogue. Lockpicking pretty much is just loot doors because they don't actually want you to sequence skip. >a big setpiece of planet 2 is the recruitment quest for the old indian assassin grandma >there are two locked doors on either side of her locked safe room >if you have the lockpicking they... open and have some bad loot in them >it isn't to side step the 2 sidequests to discover what happened so you can just kill her (and rob yourself of the companion oh no) or have a conversation on your footing where she says who she is and then you do those quests everything is laid out for the one outcome of the quest to happen, all the "immersive roleplay choices" are smoke and mirrors/fluff to obfuscate very basic quest design. There is also a pretty big problem with sequence breaking >recruit Aza >do Aza's recruitment mission >it takes you through area you could already have traipst through to kill some guys and also do another quest you got from the main guys >end of this kill gauntlet/trap gauntlet you complete both missions and get a revelation of a betrayer amongst the ranks of the guy who sent you on the mission >...before you did 3 other related side quests it was meant for >which do not lock out or change because you now know this >you were just supposed to do them first
>>544705730>>544706926why did you play outer worlds 2 if it was so obvious it was going to be bad?
>>544702559looks like the same game engine of whatever that skyrim in space flop bethesda made was called
>>544706926and ironically the opposite in similarly bad ways>first planet is just edgewater, but star wars The force awakened scale>ends with choosing which settlement to kill off by a binary choice>if you have hacking above X you can also 3rd option of nothing bad happening (you won't) problem>there is a door to the basement of the bbeg's lair where you just do the level backwards >it's very obvious to find in the boss arena for the game's parvati's companion quest>you will do this quest because why wouldn't you (aside from everything being bullet sponges, like the bullet sponge boss)>you go up the hall and interact with a terminal and suddenly self destruct sequence make a choice NAO >whichever you pick pretty much auto ends all remaining main quest for the planet >you're now on planet 2 ~5 hours early and the story has just been broken over your knee, all your motivations and past framing no longer apply (and little reason to have killed that boss) and you have no context for the next leg of the main story outside the same "kill benny" of the startand if you think destroying a city of the factions badguys is going to be a problem... it isn't. Non joinable, doesn't piss off tristan the commissar companion(or ever come up). They're also being pogrom'd by their evil government so shooting all of them doesn't matter. Quite convenient for the writers after a possibly hasty rework to not be able to join the space enclave. You don't make actual decisions, the game just goes forward.>>544707242macabre curiosity mostly, but it can't be understated how bad the writing is. The entire games diction is in 3 faction specific flavors of the "big words" trope and so are the journal entries. The two DLCs of the first game actually improved a little bit but clearly that was their B team who free of oversight making DoA dlc for a EGS exclusive wrote scenario based humor with dialogue spoken like actual humans. The A team would never stoop so low.
>>544708461Grim, i guess avowed was the 'A' team for obsidian. when they made POE and Tyranny they just stole assets from tyranny to polish POE more, with just one experienced man in charge of all interns, fresh hires, entry level, etc, then sent 'A' team for a month or two to polish up Maybe they tried the same but just said fuck it because the layoffs leaked early. sounds insanely unpolished rather than just shortI dont even know if Obsidian has one more game in them with these lay offs, there isnt any will to reform if they get shitcanned by microsoft like with black isle
>>544703524>Vagrus did they finish the main story yet ?
>>544710079they added like 3 DLC that did somethingI like these indie text games like suzerain or disco elysium, but they tend to be overly conservative just releasing DLC or enhanced editions instead of a new project. honestly what all these writers making passion projects need is to be attached to real game studios, instead of where they just hire the most attractive women or throw darts for their 'video game writer' with less skill than porn writers
But to pull together a small list of positives for OW2 >Insulate yourself from the cringe, the plot is arc is serviceable as a straight line about stopping a direct existential threat (likely a reaction to the critique the first game is about nothing) related to the badguy faction and your starting antagonist >there are moments of enjoyable looter shooting as a game loop when you get together decent guns (shock rifle, first boss machinegun, sniper rifle, marksman rifle, revolver/legendary as the shortlist) that have good damage and time to kill >Aza has a good voiceactress and her one note safe edgy gimmick >Tristan is a caricature but decent enough to have around They're pretty much Ellie and Max of the first game with similar arcs of bookending a past life and growing jaded with their belief system. Still serviceable like last time, still the only not bad companions. >movement is better with the combat slide and double jump >Go to objective kill to complete objective quests all largely play fine at a gameplay level It's not a long list but there is a game in here. >>544709674>sounds insanely unpolished rather than just shortI don't see how it ever was allowed to launch in this state. Microsoft just put them out to pasture. By shills "it's longer" is one of their talking points. It really isn't, the planets are just almost empty. There is a lot of padding for how little there is to each planet. I clock I think ~27 hours doing moderately thorough runs of the first game. This one has what feels like less but takes upwards of 40 hours. Everything is so interconnected and the maps so small a completionist run wouldn't be much longer; enemies don't respawn (XP snowball prevention by shit devs) so if you do miss a quest you'll just be doing it with 0 opposition unless you didn't discover the area it takes you.
>Why are crpgs in decline? RPGS seem like black magic to PUBLISHERS since they cant just throw money at it and get reliable returns like sports, call of duty, WoW, final fantasy XXX, GTA. The market has wised up to passion projects like amalur reckoning and fund assembly line ENTERTAINMENT products like cape movie and shoot game. There's still oblivious financers that bought into scam citizen this or last year, the guys that loaned CD Projket money scratching their head why polish GTA didnt print.Its actually not black magic and you need a WRITER coupled with a LEAD PROGRAMMGER to make a bug free controlled scope product. I've seen several indie games like Vagrus, Suzerain, Disco Elysium (yes this was indie before being popular) with more than serviceable writers but they cant get matched with the money and developers. Instead writer is a sort of DEI spot like HR or the hot lady that is the bosses assistant (ever seen a fat black man as an assistant?) and all the skilled developers work on assassin's creed 12 and the like for steady paychecks. Decline induced by mismatch.
>>544704836>>544704836>>544704836>>544704836wall of text autists should i play DA inquistor?
>>544712183it's alright definitely better than DA V
>>544712183it has mmo gameplay, they polished the bugs and weird looking scenes that got mocked on release.play tainted grail if you want 3D crpgs. shit the oblivion remake is probably better
>>544698351>>544698351>>544698351Owlcat won, you lost froggie.
>>544702559How much arguing internally do you think happened around adding this character?
>>544715737I havent seen a solid internal view of behind the scenes since MCA got pushed out and leaked but typically they have one person do all the writing for a companion/romance and the head designer or just the project lead on small games signs off on it. that's how you get shit like halsin cuckolding with one person writing two different characters
>>544716281All studios should downsize
>>544715737>factory default settings is companion helmets on >prettiest girl is 1 of only 2 characters with a full face helmet You can just imagine the endless office politics that probably surrounded their decisions to put her slightly out of the way and have every other companion badmouth her endlessly. She's a little dumb thing that talks with small words and loves murderhobo'ing. Now in any other game... but this is outer worlds 2.
>>544719384>She's a little dumb thing that talks with small wordsThey didn't want to focus too much on her personality, afterall, she isn't a stunning, brave housekeeping race like Inez.
>>544712183Only if you already played DA:O and DA2 and really want more. Ignore all the grindy collection tasks and just stick to the story and it can pass as an okay game.
Are the angel spells strong enough to stay as paladin or should I respec to a full caster?
>>544719384Why are you retards writing fanfic
>>544719384dam....the saudis gotta save us and buy more game companies
>>544723112you take 1 sacred huntsmen level so you can select animal companions besides horsethen you take smoldon and put the rest in paladin with a reach weapon + enlarge
>>544723112>>544724653paladins can merge spellbooks with angel mythic?
>>544723341prove that didnt happen. Obsidian is a non woke company now?
hopefully microsoft kills obsidian and forces bethesda to go back to elder scrolls
Feargus sabotaged his entire career.
started his career making an icewind dale mod at black isle, ended it making a fallout 3 mod at obsidian. solid mods i guess, but carried by his ass kissing and optics and stealing credit
why no witcher 4 news???they wouldnt shut up about cyberpunk before releasing it
>>544735101good. last crpg they made i read about in game informer. they only make polish gta now
>>544737164I miss gameinformer
>>544737781i think a couple paragraphs and pictures communicated more than all the half baked early access and community managers posting
>>544697750Now that it has been a few days, how is the new RT patch? Has it been balanced properly? Can I finally enjoy my shotgunner/psyker/Overseer run on unfair+ without it being a complete cakewalk? Are any of the other changes they did interesting or fun?
>>544735101It's pozzed
Best solasta party?
>>544759395Twinned haste sorcBard ClericFighterIf you had a fifth it'd be a paladinI don't know shit about solasta that's just basic 5e
Are there any mods for Solasta? Like for the UI?
Sawyer will make a comeback
>>544759395Cleric. You want the spell list and battle is the strongest.Arcane spellcaster. Wizard and sorc are both good (Shock arcanist may be the best)For melee, barb or paladin. Timar Paladin was homebrewed to be good at everything you face.For the last spot, it's Ranger or Bard with scoundrel background. Better than a rogue could ever hope.Ranger is good at melee and bow and makes free rations, Bard has good support and spell list, particlarly lore.
>>544774801they have user created adventures like nwn. 1 person told me they liked them better than the main campaign
>>544787704Oh I like that. But can you mod the UI?
>>544796073UI mods are extremely uncommon for rpgs. I mostly see UI customization for FPS games, only rpg i can recall getting one is Skyrim
>>544797849Didn't Baldur's Gate get one?
>>544698256Dude, knock the underrail u fusion release date by at least 3 more years. All you have right now is a demo video.
>>544798325https://www.nexusmods.com/games/baldursgate3/mods?categoryName=User+Interfaceall these look like minor tweaks, yeah i guess i was imagining UI overhauls
>>544801663No, I meant Baldur's Gate.
>>544803056oooohthey did an enhanced edition which improved the UI, i don't think vanilla had UI mods, mostly just adding content, a few for resolution issues, then some gameplay mods
>>544800789is it still just one person?idk how people read this shit: dev blog's about a game that takes 7 years to make. i rather read celebrity gossip than about unmade games. i think its just a way for loser dev's to talk to people
>>544698256What are the metrics here? Which will sell the most/be the most succesful or just best quality independent of sales? Or Both?
>>544697750Can I play rogue trader and skip all text? I'm not reading all that shit. Also Im going to pirate.
>>544812027owlcat has too much DLC and is pirate recommended. i think they have much less dialogue options to skip to combat compared their pathfinder games
>>544774801idk about UI, but Unfinished Business adds almost everything missing from 5E
How old is Imoen?
>>544825185canonically younger than your PCprobably 18-early 20s
>>544825185>>544829006PC is 18 at start and she's 1-2 years younger
>>544697750What are they doing down there? Looks groovy
i don't know...this dragon fight just didnt feel epic like bg2. abilities have no impact, cant immerse
Can't wait till DLC 3
>>544838079Are they adding a negron companion?
>>544825185Old enough.
>>544838119They haven't confirmed anything. We do know that Starrok said "We can't promise that both of the companions will be romancable" so I assume it's because it's a xeno like Ork or even 'Cron.
>>544838374I wish I could say ork would make no sense but apparently they've been having that be available in one of their recent ttrpgs for some absurd reason.
>>544838079im not replaying a mediocre game for 10 hours of content. waited a year to play RT and it was still buggy and had only 1 DLC out. they shouldnt have listened to feedback and did more stand alones
>>544838710Orks have been occasionally hired on as mercenaries since the early days of 40k. Makes perfect sense.
>>544839195I'm waiting till both S2 DLCs are out then I'll replay
>>544839846Source?
>>544838374There's two new companions in the necron dlc?
>>544843364White Dwarf 218 describing the Battle of Big Toof River and the 4e Orks codex description of Blood Axes.
>>544847879Thanks I'll go look these up
>>544838374Who the fuck is Starrok?
>>544849620some owlcat community manager on reddit. for some reason i know the names of a reddit owlcat poster and reddit fanart maker despite only posting on 4chan....
>Tells you a gratuitously long story in you're pathWhat do?
>>544698256where is the dragon's demand
>>544701576Solasta 2 recently got confirmed for 2026
She's just like me fr fr
>>544851401i dont a release date further than 1 year out or without a major publisher attached
>>544838374They're not going to add an OrkThey'd have to make an entire new set of weapons and armor for itThey won't do that
>>544698256>>544851401wait did people actually LIKE solasta?i found it so boring and forgettable i couldn't even hate it, i didn't care enough to do so
>>544852156ooof if the DLC doesnt make a new asset you know Dark Asset Flip wont have it...
>>544852424Dark Heresy won't have an Ork companion either way, the only game that might have had is Rogue Trader and that ship has sailed
>>544851114Click continue without reading.
I ship them.
>>544853356sorry lanncel arue is for farmers only
I thought the Amaranthine raid would be..more interesting, but even the Armored Ogre + Darkspawn Nerd folded easily. Makes me wonder if the Vigil's siege was more interesting to play.Awakening gameplay changes were gud, but quests and maps been quite..ehAt least they didn't gave us another Deep Roads
Why does Camellia leave the KC to fuck random dudes in the epilogue?
>>544853590all owlkek women are for farmerchads only
I actually didn't expect it but Regill and Greybor have surprisingly good character synergy
Was DAO the last crpg (besides underrail) with soul?
The spirit animals in solasta need more AC. Wtf is my druid supposed to do with a 13 AC summon?
Can he tank for his summon?
Someone tapped into that.
new thread?
>>544853590A bunch of crpgs do this for no reason desu. Just look at DAO or the epilogues of a few BG characters. I guess they don't want them to be tied to your PC, thus making it easier to build sequels
>>544853590The writers (male and female) base it on their own personal experience
And...it's done. A shame we got no proper epilogue, it was boss, then credits, not even a celebrations with the boys.Awakening companions felt..raw, incredible raw, specially how Vellana acts like a discount morrigan with child-like behaviour, Howe and Anders were alright, and Oghren almost had something going, but they didn't give him a proper questline. Everyone was forgettable as fuck>>544853687Dunno anon, while I liked a few things about DA, when you look at it on big lens, a good chunk of what you may call "soul" it's a bunch ofnothing burgers with a neat coat of paint. Besides Jade Empire and Pillars 1 exist
>>544853590KC stands for King Cuck.
>>544858216Justice is best boy
>>544858448I liked him more when he was a green ghost. Couldn't stand looking at Kristoff starved mug, him coming very late into the game also didn't help
>>544698256>secret of the weepstoneThis is shaping up to be super dry
these beetles are ass to fight
>>544811268Just whichever one is best.
I hope Dark Heresy sells well so we can vet a kino only war crpg
>>544863404What will be the token xeno for only war?
>>544862579Is that Solasta 2? Damn, it's kinda ugly.
Are there any RPGs that allow you to talk to yourself like DOS1?
>>544864457Thats 1
>>544864178Eldar PoW
>>544864607
>>54470827640k obviously. That's the setting which lends itself really well to gameplay with tons of cool tech, space magic, enemies, equipment, places and all other stuff space opera needs. And it's an IP easy to get since GW doesn't give a fuck about vidya and so hands it over to whoever asksExpanse is intentionally shit and boring setting. It's very gimmick is that it's so grounded and mundane there is no that idealized space opera stuff in it. Mankind even failed to properly colonize solar system, can't leave it, can't even terraform planets, armor, tech and locations look samey and generic because anything more cool would be too fantastical. No melee combat and jedi powers or ayys everywhere eitherIt's not inherently wrong on it's own but it's a fucking terrible setting for a game. It was designed to tell a particular story and not with gameplay in mind. And this game story will HAVE to orbit that original story and be wary to not intrude on it and actual protagonists from that show/book. Won't let you make any actual choices that would shape the world since that wouldn't fit with tv show.I expect it to be like that Lotr jrpg game at best where you have notGimili, notAragorn and notLegolas which follow in Fellowship footsteps, but can't ever actually reach them or do anything distinct, but they were totally important in stopping Sauron. Or like Telltale Games of ThronesThose two games should just be reversed. Expanse should be crpg very, very focused on a story and dialogue like disco, because there is fucking nothing else in it. Also make it completely non canon to the show/books and with playable book protagonists so you can actually make some decisions. And not the way they make itTheir 40k game should be an action rpg with AAA values, combat and explosions everywhere and other stuff like this. This is what 40k was designed around. Rogue Trader in particular would work great as a Mass Effect clone.
>40kfags endlessly malding that not everything revolves around their dolliesyawn
>>544853673Yeah, because both are retarded edgelords pretending to be reasonable.
>>544868018>*turns off the game*
>>544864178Eldar ranger/corsair disguised as human
>>544868856Might be kinda cool if it's obvious to the player but not the characters
>>544867140They can do whatever bullshit they want with the protomolecule. There's an evil space empire and shit in the later books. You wouldn't even need it for melee. Implants and power armor already exist.
>>544868856I thought Yrliet would be this way>Oh Rogue Trader, you simply MUST meet my lady in waiting, Yrliet. One of the local mutants.>She's a bit odd, and so tall and unfeminine, but I'm sure you'll find her amusing as I do!
>>544784837The original filter was a bit strong. Only farseers should have that.
>>544853673
>all I need is a cold iron bladeAh jeez all I have are these room temperature blades
How is the new RT update?
>>544873381Pretty good. New items for Ulfar and the elftards. Complete overhaul of priest, IG officer, and naval officer.
>>544873803Was the horrendous balance actually fixed? I couldn't stand walking all over combat encounters just because the DLCs existed.
>>544874542Well the bladedancer/executioner has received nerfs. It's not as much of an I Win button as it used to be. Carnival of Misery doesn't work as it used to. Still pretty powerful.
I don't know why demons don't use this manouver more. It'd be really effective if I didn't have mass delay poison and actually had to snipe dretches
>>544868971Yeah, maybe the choice is work with her in secret and protect her from Commissar etc. Or rat her out/kill her yourself
>>544875048It's too logical for them. They are chaotic evil.
>>544874721I just remember playing my non-optimal build on unfair+ and walking through encounters without a single care before even completing act 1. I saw they made level progression take more exp, but I don't know if that would have fixed the issue
>>544874542Nah. Outliers like BD/Exe were nerfed, but origin rework made the other origins OP, priest is especially cancer now. And also new strong items you can get so Ulfar and Yrliet are much stronger. XP is scaled back so early game balance isn't messed up, no more dighting Aurora with 2nd archetype, but game still becomes easy after mid act 2.
>>544875298Apparently level progression is a bit jumpy. You're cruising along, then have these big spikes of XP needed to go from level 15 or 16 or whatever. I haven't actually played it yet, just read the notes.
>>544875347Buffing the other origins instead of nerfing psyker was intentional
>>544876105MILLHOUSE MANASTORM
>>544874542Some things were balanced and other things are more unfair than before.Blade dancer was nerfed pretty hard. It's still strong but you can't just turn your brain off and slaughter the entire encounter.Naval officer is an absolute monster now thoughever. Abelard is unironically stronger than he was before.Importantly, astrum militarum commander and commissar got rebalanced and are actually solid and fun to play as a variety of classes. Not as strong as naval officer, but strong. Priest got some buffs too.Act1 balance is a tough prospect because the game has to be playable by people without void shadows to bloat their levels. However if you're not prepared in act2 those certain footfall encounters can still shit on you.
>>544846702no, he meant the companions of DLC 3 and 4, one each
she got bleached after retvrning to the ship
>>544879567>me when the inquisitor who hired me to get rid of his problems booked it before paying me
Can my Fem-Lord Captain make clone test tube babies with best girl Jae????
>Me casting SiroccoHahaha yes, YES!>Me having Sirocco cast on meWhat the fuck man?! This is BULLSHIT!
>>544853673There is a camp banter where they discuss the best direction to slit someone's throat.
>>544883958Perhaps I should have them together in the party more often, sounds like they've have a lot to talk about
>>544884229It's always a bit awkward for me because they serve the same role in the party, ie, melee damage dealer.
Well Larry I hoped you were gonna have a bro arc, but the focus of your character development is gonna be fuckmeat for the femcels.
>>544884464Larry doesn't look happy
>>544884464>first sentence mentions bear sexWhy are people so obsessed with that? Either the plebbitors thinking it's le hecking best thing ever or the /v/fags thinking it's woke humiliation ritual
>>544884432Nothing wrong with having two melee damage dealersEspecially if you play on a difficulty where having an AC of 35-40 is enough for most fights
>>544884464This reminds me of that fanfic where an Eldar guy gets gangrapped by female guardsmen.
>>544697750>Outer Worlds lost to Kingmaker
>>544884920Sure, but the thing is that I always run Camellia with me, unless it doesn't make sense for my character to kill her in the basement, as my main or secondary melee damage dealer. With dual rapiers, mythic light armor focus assault (which works with mithral medium armor like the chainmail of comradery, and extended divine power she just becomes a blender in combat.
>>544885407>it doesn't make sense for my character NOT to kill her in the basement

>>544744418Abelard is shitting on Melee Pyros because he can hit 5 times per round and pick and Executor second class.Commissar Dunks on Sanctic OfficersStaves are dogshit unless its Navigator onesPower Swords are dogshit again because best Sword Dancer build is Priest Origin and not PyroAxes are Kino for Abelard nowShotguns rape act 1Kibellah with 2 hander is now optimal buildIdira with Psyber is the best buffer in the gameCassia's Point of Interest nerf is actually an indirect nerf to Reveal the Light aka her support build. If you're going damage route it changes nothing.Grand Strategist is still the most broken class in the game and you need at least one. I personally always make MC one since it gives me Diviner Wizard vibes.Argenta claps with any ranged weapon because of how hard her origin(Priest) was buffed.Xeno companions are at their lowest low. Anything Drukhi can do - Kibellah does better because of her starting class. Anything Ranger can do - Argenta does better because of her Origin AND starting class.Xeno Swords are once again Swords and not Daggers + You can use Dex instead of Str for damage with them hence Blade Dancer nerfs are actually buffs.Warrior is worthless on MC in 100% of situations now because Abelard exists. There's NOWAY for you to be better than him with this class.Henrix is decent because his starting feat is a good one but still Melee Pyros are not the best pick now. Needing 1 turn of self-burn preparations is too slow compared to Abelard Slapping 5 hits from the moment he gets his turn.Commissar therotically does highest damage per shot in the game via At All Cost ability - you need a gun that can only shoot in bursts like the starting Laser Pistol that shoots 2 times at the leastest - that way it can land on enemies in-between you and your ally. You can deal 70-damage shot before Abelard even proclaims you as a Lord-Captain in prologue.
>tfw no chaotic good Lich path themed around damning your own soul to save the worldIt's not like the campaign takes place over a long enough timeline that would usually drive a lich to go insane and hate all life
Does this thing have some additional implicit rules and limits for triggering, or it's simply bugged to shit? I think it works about 1/3 of times it's supposed to according to description, and I can't figure out the exact mechanics behind it.
What's up with inXile Entertainment? They made absolute kino with Wasteland 3 and Torment and now their next game is going to be a first person action RPG like Outer Worlds? Why?
>>544887107It's crap. If you want to parry just be Fleet Commander.See>>544886760
Anyone know if this part about "the secret language of the druids" means that non-druid KCs cannot understand what Ulbrig says here, or is it just meaningless flavour text?I have no idea since this is my first playthrough with Ulbrig, and have been a druid since the beginning
>>544887181I was thinking about a meme build abusing it with 0ap reload pistol in other hand. I remember from my first playthrough that there was also a sword with the same attack on parry effect, but apparently they moved it somewhere from act 2 planet rewards.
>>544887662Just put the pistol in Right Hand and something Melee in the left hand then.
>Goblin cave start of act 2 flcLol this shit is more dangerous than drezen or anything else in the act
>>544887164Microsoft delusions.Suits believe FPS genre can be sold in millions by concept and not because normies desire braindead backbone-focused gameplay above all.>>544887995Drezen is easier than the collab location though.
>>544887662The fact that sword/pistol isn't a more common playstyle says a lot about owlcat fans. That's peak 40k leader loadout yet faggots only care about minmaxing.
>>544888086Thats what im saying these shits have improved vital strike spam fire snakes that I already ran out of prot fire communal, andanaged a 70 crit scorching ray(on hard it'd be 140 on unfair). Already forced to hit r midway (at lvl 7)
>>544888387And managed*
>>544887782>When crit or parry with a weapon in the main hand, automatically attack with lowest AP cost attack from the off handThis can work with a melee weapon in the right hand and pistol in the left, but on paper this looks like an infinite pistol attack chain as long as you parry, because you're supposed to be able to reload after each such shot. Probably won't function as intended in the game because something in the chain of interactions enabling this will definitely break.
>>544888387Sorry meant to say: the Undead half of it.Just use Grease or Stinky Cloud against them or better yet - Haunting Mist>>544888828There're gloves that allow you to parry with ranged weapons.
lol
>>544888957I have all of those but my corruptor doesn't have selective yet(needs lvl 8 because arcanist) so I'd just gib myself. They also have much better initiative than me since they're lvl 10 and have more dex, once my grease/grasp/mist/web is down they can't do much
Are there any good CRPG creepypastas?
>>544889415Good news for you then. You don't need selective. Corrupter doesn't bypass Antipoison buffs of your group.>Initiative problems>ArcanistThat's the issue. Diviner talks are not a meme.
>>544889673The arcanist is just a merc though
>>544889673Why the fuck wouldn't it pierce my delay poison. Oh well guess I can use that without that
>>544890053Owlcat decided so.Your Heightened Element also does not bypass anti-energy abjuration buffs of your allies. Try Fireballing Arue.
Shadowcaster woljiff makes far more sense story wise than his bullshit garbage base rogue
>>544890398Shadowcaster is about Wizarding and not Stealing.
Lich path best path
>>544867140Imagine if they did a Battlestar Galatica CRPG instead with procedually generated or at least, randomized Cylon imposters among your companions?, it would be a novel concept making it a peak thriller rpg
Imo Owlcat should have made the "Mass Effect Clone" a Dragon Age clone and made Warhammer Fantasy RPG instead of Expanse. A high production quality WHF RPG would sell like hotcakes. Expanse is boring.

>>544889536Owlcat.exe
>>544892452>zaps you
>>544893858>Oc classKinda hampered by being absolutely worthless at the start
>>544893858>>544894085Isn't that Magic Deceiver?
>>544894308Yeah
>>544894308Magic deceiver has like 2 casts at the start or something is what I mean
>>544894085The early game is rough, yes, but you're not completely useless. Living Deity can get a pet at level 1 with Nature Mystery and Time Manipulator can completely refresh their spell slots once per rest at level 4. Plus you can make some pretty nasty spell combos early, like Sleep+Color Spray for an AoE color spray, enemies in the early levels have fairly low HD so you Color Spray is a pretty stacked spell. At level 4 you get Haunting Mists, which lets you cheese any hard fight in the chapter because the duration is infinity, doesn't trigger hostilities and the WIS drain will eventually kill anything. Besides that I like spamming Light of Heaven for 1 temp HP and a -1 to enemies' attack rolls or demoralize to make use of your high CHA.After Grey Garrison you have Slow+Hold Person which basically acts like Mass Hold Monster, a level 9 spell, so the game really opens up.
>>544894582Wizard also gets only 2 Haunting Mists in the maze.On Unfair you spend like a week in the Maze and then half a month in the besieged city because you travel solo and farm exp by killing all the minibosses alone.
>want to be a chaotic good KC in WoTR>want to save the world by bending the rules and being an overly pragmatic dick at times for the greater good>get to choose between hippy nature music Azatas, paladin-y Dragons, or lmao wacky party TricksterAm I the only one that feels there is at least one missing narrative niche for the KC in WoTR?
>>544895276It's just that the side of good is cucked in fantasy genre.Look at Mistra's chosen in DND and tell me they prefer women in bed.
>>544895276Trickster should have been Fey and played completely seriously, like the Lantern King in Kingmaker, instead of that wacky lol so randum *wink at the camera* cringefest. Or they could have gone for something completely different and have us play a Protean for the CN mythic path.
>>544887164CRPGG studios are cursed, I keep telling you guys
Post the best crpg bvlls!
>>544895276>hippy nature music AzatasDunno about the rest of /crpgg/, but Azata felt less like "hippy nature lovers" and more like just a bit more serious take on Trickster and its anticsThe whole island you get as an Azata just feels like a collection of some redditor's ideas about what is considered "funny"
>>544887406I don't really know anymore from my non-playthroughs, but I think my KCs couldn't understand.In tabletop RPGs, Druidic is always a secret language you automatically learn when you choose the druid class. You have no way to learn the language otherwise, not even by spending points on it. Houserules aside.
>>544895276>>544895387In almost all genres desu. Just look at fictions made in Asia. Chaotic Good doesn't have the stoic/righteous appeal of the others good brackets and their current rl counterparts are hipsters and wholesome chungus activitsts.Either that or they are Krrrrazy Ikeman who do shit for the lulz
>>544896719So you could say..this was the Mystery of the Droods all along?
>>544896719Aight, seems nice if only druid KCs can understand what Ulbrig says here, gives some reactivity to the class you play
>>544887782>>544888828Okay, I've experimented with that shit and it's pretty nuts>Reload/parry AoO/fire/reload sequence seems to be indefinitely repeatable, as long as there's an enemy next to you and you parry>If there were multiple enemies attacking and you parried more than one, an attack is queued for each one>The triggered attack gives arch militant stacks, so it should give all other attack-related stacksThis should be particularly good with pistols that do not have a generic single shot, for example kelermorph pistols which only have burst or eldar blast pistols.However it feels like this thing crosses the line of being a cool build mechanic and becomes an actual unfun abuse. Damage is basically infinite as long as you keep parrying, and even if you fail few parries, you have your right hand attacks to trigger it because of AM's 100% crit chance.
>>544898847Forgot to add that I've only tested with a melee main weapon. I don't know what would happen with a pistol in right hand, it may unearth more hilarious interactions like for example a burst shot where multiple hits crit queuing multiple off hand attacks, or maybe not.
>>544898847>>544899194Abelard bros are eating good.
>>544899194To trigger it on crit, primary weapon needs to a be melee weapon. Considering the wording in description, parrying with a pistol using gloves shouldn't trigger it as well.
>>544871913Good edit.
>>544889536They're all from Fallout 3 and from before this website's present state, but I don't remember them and never saved them.

Playing Dragon Age after Veilguard feels like watching the original Star Wars trilogy after the Disney trilogy. It's hard to care when you know some retards took the IP and absolutely just shat on it.

How do you actually slog through WOTR on turn-based mode? I'm trying to play it for the first time, and It took me 5 hours to go through the tutorial dungeon. I feel like you could never actually complete the game at this pace.
>>544927870General rule for me is only use turn based for big boss fights and the occasional miniboss.
>>544927128a gripe of mine as well, but i just to ambiguous ones to get around it, ie some dude fully covered in armor/cloaked with a hood/family crest/organization symbol/some blank silhouette
>>544927364That's why I still haven't played Veilguard. I learned my lesson with nutrek, you're not supposed to watch or play new sequels to beloved IPs that have come out in the last ten years, they're all like this.
>>544926427>The only cool aspect was the whole headbutting with Nathaniel,Damn your taste keeps getting worse. Nathaniel is the perfect second for the warden and Amaranthine was given to Howe for killing your family.

I kinda liked him, but I try to RP a little, you know? My PC was still processing what the Howes did, but he gave him a chance and I brought him in for the Mother's fight.

>>544947651By the way, I haven't settled on an alignment yet. I definitely want to do Gold Dragon later on since that's obviously the most thematic (regardless of the alignment restriction), but I can't tell if I want to start as a "well meaning, but rigid" Lawful Good, full on lawtwist LN who eventually reforms her ways, or just your typical Wuxia side character who will callously massacre entire clans over minor slights in the name of "justice".

>>544940223what did you expect from a codex fag ?
>>544948658I feel like you're pretty much obliged to do something melee or with a bow for martial oriented. It gets old quick having your sole henchmen as a meat shield. I really liked that game but I think a lot of it really was nostalgia goggles and what else existed when it was new, I played through not too long ago and it was crude and annoying with the main campaign in certain parts.

Cassia never really has anything interesting to add if you take her on missions
>>544955589She doesn't really have much going for her outside her romance. I mean sure she mogs damage-wise but that's all.
>>544955589She has a few amusing interactions, but not very many unfortunately. The most stand out one is the one I mentioned in one of the former threads when she's shocked at meeting mutants in the lower decks.
>>544955589Something about colors

>>544955589Blah blah colors blah blah *gasp! L..Lord Captain!*
>>544955589first companion i never listened to or read. well, while actively taking them every time any way and not just corner stuffing them like zevran, jack, uhhh that gay bg3 mage
>>544955873Even damage-wise she feels pretty overrated. Especially now with the Abelard/Argenta buffs but even before that with Idira/Jimmy/Psyker RT
>>544888197Both my MC and Henry do it, albeit the MC primarily users pysker abilities. He mostly carries the needle pistol and force sword for show/personal vendetta's.
>>544955589There are interactions where she clues you in that someone is lying or not.
>>544959324I think some people settle on her early on as a damage dealer and never learn to surpass her with better characters.
>>544959562For me it's primitive sword/bolt pistol. My bolt pistol is also for show (because they suck if you're not chaos.)

Why was BG3 so ridiculously commercially successful compared to the numerous better crpgs that came out around the same time?
>>544963805Well whatever the reason, we can be sure it has nothing to do with the Baldur's Gate name, since there is not proof of this hypothesis.
Enfeeble or invigorate?
If the og baldurs gate games are so good why did they only make like 2 bg clones?
If underrail is so good why is there zero underrail clones?
If solasta is so good why is there zero solasta clones.

Alright I never thought anything of pure Pally Seelah and almost always bench her immediately but this time I went for the horse instead of the weapon bond and she's turning into a fucking monster
>>544969906Age of decadence and underrail play nothing like the bg games
>>544972326Still haven't decided to play past the horse-shit tutorial of AoD, something that /agdg/ would even be embarrassed about, so can't comment thereUnderrail follows BG1&2 suit. If you don't see that, you're blind.
>>544971640riding a horse or even having it follow you around in many indoor settings is completely soulless thoughHaving your horse attack is even worse, total stupid garbage, hard pass

>>544974827Calm down there, Catherine the Great
>>544973869Do you think war horses just sat there doing nothing?
>>544973163It literally takes 2 minutes to beat the tutorial, how shot is your attention span?
>>544969906You know crpgs existed before bg and there are other crpgs clearly way more inspired by something like ultima,heros of might and magic, wizardry ect... than baldurs gate.
>>544975202They were trained to not react to proximity, noise, and were convinced blocks of men would get out of their way when charged at. A war horse would "break" either after it's first actual battle or after a few charges. Shying the minor form of that, bolting with you on them the more severe problem to avoid injury/spoopy not fleeing men it trampled.
>>544708018You've forgotten how fucking horrid starfield looked or you just exaggerate too much.
If ultima is so good how come the only ultima clone that has came out recently is skald?
>>544975772>A war horse would "break" either after it's first actual battle or after a few chargesWell generally a horse wouldn't be charged onto a pike rank. Their purpose was running down stragglers and isolated small groups for the rider to finish off with his saber

>>544887164Because Torment didn't sell.
>Tsundere CamMaybe i treated the Cammiefags too harshly
>>544976931Shock cavalry would charge infantry when softened by missile troops or pinned by other infantry blocks (or when led by a retard) The horse physically slamming into guys his training says would scatter (and crushing them) even without injury still would still burn through the animal's use as a warhorse. We have pretty thorough records of what and how horses were trained and how long they lasted from the medieval era. In the renaissance lancers still would have proper war horses, reiters not so much (one of the many reasons why they were cheaper and more common). By the ECW and 30 years war you can assume most cavalry would be on riding horses and wouldn't be able to charge down pike blocks even if they'd wanted to. I haven't looked deep into what training a military horse would truly get in the early modern period but you'd assume it'd mainly be to disassociate the noise of gunfire from danger. Bottom line though is a horse isn't going to reel up and attack draugr's like in skyrim it's going to get the fuck out of there unless explicitly trained otherwise.
>>544979712Thanks for the info, pretty interesting. The more recent usage is what I had been thinking of. I neglected medieval and renaissance lancers
>>544979454
>>544963805Extremely long early access sponging up brand recognition. People used to joke about how absurd its EA period was and it was almost a surprise when it released.If it had just released normally its numbers would've been tracked differently and hype marketing would've been played differently.
>>544963975The og BG games were in stiff competition with action slop like Diablo and underperformed in comparison. They were niche products for ttrpg nerds that became fan favorites over a long time until D&D became popular amongst normies long after the shelf life of the originals.

You guys think Areelu and Suture ever..?

PHARASMAWHERE IS MY SON'S SOUL
>>544975358It has nothing to do with attention span, it was absolute shit presentation.If the combat tutorial of AoD was an /agdg/ game it would go completely unnoticed, and that is absolutely pathetic.I might try it again someday but the only reason I'd try this "literally looks like a teenager whipped it up for a class" game is due to people suggesting it here. Other than that it presents as total garbage.
>>544981150Areelu uses Suture as a slave. The only thing resembling sexual contact between them is when Areelu uses him as a footstool.
>>544981207Did it also coincide with the pandemic? It seems like Critical Role/D&D's popularization lined up with that, though it had been building beforehand a bit.
>>544981150yes... YES...
>>544963805mocap, normie accessibility, good Act1. Literally all there is to it.They spent a lot on a gamble, and got a lot in return.

>>544931476Lord of Nothing adds a few nice classes, continues the story from Through the Ashes, and has an android companion for its story (you can't get the andoid in the main game though)Masks is nice, adds a few classes again, you get to fight some enemies that aren't just demons, get to visit Kenabres again, it has more companion things, and even adds a new romance event for whoever you romanced. It's sweetI'd recommend Masks at least. Get Lord of Nothing if the classes it adds appeal to you or you want to continue the story of Through the Ashes
>>544980762
>>544983165>daeran only calls seelah hotHe has the hots for her.
>>544941998As far as I know, it's a pretty comedic gameI don't trust generally trust comedic games to be good, especially not when they are made or set in America, since I despise American "humour"
>>544931476Lord of Nothing is pretty good, it's a continuation of the story from From the Ashes, unlike the first part though, this is much more similar to the normal WOTR gameplay with a lot less emphasis on survival. It also adds a very cool boss fight for the main campaign.Dance of Masks is ok, it's pretty short and sweet. The new archetypes added are very nice and super unique. The made a big deal about it being fully voiced, but imo this was more of a detriment than anything since the quality of the voice acting is noticeably inferior compared to the rest of the game, it felt like a very rushed thing, there are even a couple of instances where the voice actors made a mistake while reading their lines and had to make another take and they didn't even bother to cut it properly.
>>544985054I wouldn't call it "comedic" any more than Fallout, Fallout being based on Wasteland anyhow.The day-to-day action of your work as a team in the story isn't really "comedic" though there's some silly things. Funny on that, interview with Brian Fargo I saw said going back he would even cut down on the silly parts. But, in any case, you're taking on second-hand opinions on a game you've never played, like a hillbilly retard "American", but I love that for you, my enlightened non-American friend.
>>544985584I mean a lot of people disliked Fallout 2 being more comedic.
bros any worthy recommendations? I really liked Disco Elysium; Tyranny was okay but end felt really underwhelming, I also tried Pillars of Eternity after hearing so much praise, but honestly I was quite underwhelmed by how straightforward it feels, as if literal default dark fantasy, felt like every character i've encountered is one dimensional and so all of my options as character.
>90% of WotR buildguides based off of exploits and bugs>last patch fixed a ton of these bugsAnyone else find it deeply funny? There are still redditors out there suggesting elemental barrage for martials because there was a bug that was around for years that made it proc with any elemental damage, not just spells (it's actually really shit now that it is working as intended, as any blaster worth their salt will take ascendant element).
>>544985941oh and i also had fun playing pathfinder wotrk, whole divinity system was really cool
Levity has always been part of CRPGs, please don't make me actually point out instances in BG1, 2, Torment, or others.Anyone complaining about Fallout2 being "more comedic" needs to turn off their screen for a bit and focus on their breathing, per the strategy they've worked out with their caseworker.
>>544986124Fallout 2 is 90% boomer pop culture references.
>>544985941Shadowrun Hong Kong and Necromancer's Tale are nice if what you're looking for is more dialogue heavy stuff. Also might as well get Rogue Trader if you liked Wrath.
>>54498621590%, wow, that only leaves 10% of the game that isn't pop culture references.Sure you want to go down this route? Fallout 1 is absent of such things? BG1, 2?
I liked the fart trap set-piece in Necromancer
>>544986453>Sure you want to go down this route?Yes I am.I am not aware of any references to 20th century pop culture in BG1 and 2 for example.
>>544986124It's less that there's humour at all and more that the actual plot is extremely thin and humour is most of what you get.
>>544985941I would second Shadowrun: Hong Kong if you want dialog-heavy. A fair number of checks that relate to skills, but nothing on the scale of DE of course. It's 10 years old. But approach it as a story to read and it's good. After missions you can catch up with people and affect to a degree what happens with them over time.I'm having trouble finishing the bonus campaign because I don't want to let the game and characters go, actually.
>>544981449Wish that was me….
>>544986578>I am not aware of any references to 20th century pop culture in BG1 and 2 for example.Then you haven't played the games or are retarded.Autograph from Larry, Larry, and Darryl for one instance.

>>544987148Speaking of racism. I remember in the first two dragon age games there was a lot of racisl tension between races, especislly for elves and the people from qun. And a lot of characters from both sides were quite racist towards each other.I liked that part 'cause it made the world seem more real, does that aspect of dragon age still exist in inquisition and veilguard? Or are they all loveydovey now?
>>544987778They practically removed it
>>544987778>inquisitionYes>veilguardNo
Why are these two literally whos talking mad shit to me when i just fucking forcefully enlarged Baphomet's asshole like three times its original size? What the fuck man?

>>545000731I think you should develop a vitamin deficiency if you rely on these too much.
>>544999872Played it on steamdeck. RT is pretty good with controllers
I think I missed getting the gloves too. Anyway the game is quite fun early on, however you become so strong at 12-13 that nothing is a challenge. You don't even need most buffs either.
bg3 should have had more crafting, dnd games dont feel right without the dopamine spike of having your wizard craft something really powerful.
It's kinda crazy just how bad Rogue Trader is in comparison to other Owlcat titles. Combat and """class""" system so fucked that the most recent patch revamped half the game and broke half of it too in an effort to revise things.Meanwhile WOTR is still insanely strong and played. Still don't understand why Owlcat abandoned Pathfinder anyway.
>>544963805>numerous better crpgsBaldurs Gate 3 is the best CRPG to come out in the past decade, and I hated Larians Divinity games. It's so absurdly good that it singlehandedly makes Forgotten Realms (one of the worst settings ever) interesting and has probably caused an entire CRPG renaissance with copycats in the next few years.
>>545006043Did they have to include the bear-fucking though?
>>545006198unironically yes, that bit of marketing and the tidal wave of seething and mental illness from /v/ that poured from it (and continues to this day) was genius marketing
>>545006384It's all so tiresome.
>>545006712no you see making a mockery of a beloved franchise is GOOD ackshually as long as line go up :)

>>544838710Orks are just really stupid and violent, not evil. If you can convince them to go be stupid and violent somewhere else they can be not entirely hostile, it's just not very often where that can actually be the case

>>544987830>>544987852>>544990881>>544993080Sad, it grounded the setting, made it a bit darker too.Kind of how people used to be racists and weird against tieflings and drow in dnd, now you walk around waterdeep and you got tieflings, drow, dhampir, aracokra, ice giants, and a bunch of other snowflakey shit just wandering around like regular people.Don't get me wrong, there's an appeal to such a varied and weird setting/culture, one of the main selling points of planescape torment and the city of sigil. But why make every setting like that? Why homogenize everything to end up samey? Ravneca for example won't be as interesting if you can see angels and demons walking around luskan casually.
>>545009978Aren't you supposed to use those midnight arrows on demon lords to kill them?
>>545010834Waterdeep is like the largest city on the planet (and coastal so even more outsiders making their way in), that's an odd place to complain about that I'd think, but otherwise I get you.

>>545011116Yeah I just chose a random name for a city desu.Waterdeep is also on top of the mad mage halastar's dungeon which is filled with weird creatures and it connects the city with the underdark.

>>545015928Based. I fricken love CR. The girl is so hot.
>>545018608The married girl with children? Surely nobody thinks this right
That said. I realized that, even though quite a few of games allow you to ascend, not many of those also allow you to rape the already existing pantheon and be not just God but The Strongest one. Or better yet the only one.Outside of Arcanum I don't know games that allow that at all.

Did I get the general idea of how things turned out? Yeah. Did I miss more specifics on each team member? Maybe. Will I reload to go through it again? Oof, not if it means doing that last battle again with those fucking spider tanks.Overall great game. I dragged my heels on actually finishing it because I knew I would miss it. I do that with books I really enjoy as well, so I know this was a good experience.Bye Shadowrun: Honk Honk, it was fun.

Post evedience where any Owlkek romance option explicitly says that they won't date other men while dating you.
>>545053579Everytime a woman looks another man in the eyes shes cheating on you
The hippogriff is the coolest looking mount, but I still feel like the dog/wolf and reddit dragon are still the best. Hippogriff has a pretty bad stat spread and survivability in comparison.

>>544697750This is actually a non-humiliation game so far. The type of anti-male people that makeup the ranks of Yrliet defenders are pissed off by it. They are mad that devs give men romances they like. If Owlkek actually did this and didn't humiliate their fanbase, they would be making good money and those numbers would be higher.>inb4 muh romance isn't importantIt's 90% of RT, BG3 and other RPG that features them talk outside of here. Romance is important and attracts many people. Romance movies and novels are very popular. It is a selling point wether anons here like it or not.>inb4 muh romance lengthRomance isn't the main part of the game's story either, it has more presence than with Owlcat, but still not the main focus.

>>545056851Larian helping a fellow studio
How far would the bg3 team make it in the main plot of solasta?
>>545057401>Wtf are the other pets forNoobtraps. Wrath's design is very mean, despite what people on here will say. Shit like missing the storyteller at the start of act 2 and thus missing the magical amulet that really helps throughout the act if you go to talk to Galfrey or enemies giving you stat debuffs in act 1 that you won't be able to heal until act 2 is really mean design.
>>545057907Judging by how easy it was for orin to sneak into the camp and replace one of the members they would job to soraks in like 5 minutes.
>>545058418Yeah, I missed The Covenant of the Inheritor because I was in a rush on a replay. Felt pretty dumb when I realized it, but I didn't want to flush hours of progress down the drain for a reload. Worse than losing the gameplay benefits of caster levels and good aligned weapons, you won't be able to get it in time to give to Galfrey, which I think puts you on the bad end. I just ended up cheating it in. I'm not going to let the game lock me into a bad route like that.
>>545056851swen loves giving smaller studios are shootout they're just returning the favor
>>545041551You wouldn't get it
>>545058418>Shit like missing the storyteller at the start of act 2 and thus missing the magical amulet that really helps throughout the act if you go to talk to Galfrey or enemies giving you stat debuffs in act 1 that you won't be able to heal until act 2 is really mean design.That's why we love WotR. Because it filters out the noobs. For instance, the shitton of options it gives you is not to add build variety but a mirage to obfuscate the correct choices. Unless you're playing the babby modes, builds in WotR are either brokenly OP or brokenly unviable. There might be a million shit builds to the one good one, so there isn't a lot of wiggle room here when making a good build, and there is no respecting in higher difficulties, so you have to pick every feat and level up with purpose. You have to actually read through everything, do a bit of research, because sometimes the text is ambiguous due to being translated from Russian, and think, unlike Baldur's Gate 3 or RT where it is clear what has synergy and what's shit. If the character leveling traps you, then so to does the story choices. Missing small details can lead to completely different endings. Missing a single Midnight Arrow or failing to hit the demon lords with it locks you out of ascension. It is not a forgiving game, which is why we love it, but also why it probably never hit mainstream appeal like Larian did.
>>545058517>in like 5 minutesThat's quite a struggle actually.Pathfinder's Commander would've killed everyone in 1 spell for instance.
>>545016387Yeah the problem is her personality keeps changing Especially on Quetza Temer
>>544981082It's fantastic.
>>545060435>It is not a forgiving game, which is why we love it, but also why it probably never hit mainstream appeal like Larian did.It's also because it doesn't become fun until you hit act 2. Act 1 was a dreadful chore. Samey boring environments, lame quests and encounters, barely any tactical depth and luck based gameplay due to being a low level, and pacing issues. It just dragged on and on. In Act 2, it felt like you were actually going places and doing things. I could play Act 2 and 3 for hours, but playing through Act 1, I could only play for an hour or two before I got bored.That's one thing I'll hand to BG3 and RT. Their first acts are great, even on replays.
>>545055748>please care about these literal whos tweeting literal nothingneck yourself
Hey, so, I have to ask, was there some kind of giant troll by the WOTR fans when the game was in development? Like, did they all come together and go>Hey, we should back the most retarded, most dogshit, abysmally bad quests ever. Just the most retarded faggotry possible. The most unfun shit ever. I really want to make the most unfun quest to have ever been made in the history of games. In fact, let's do that several times in a row.
>>545060435Imagine actually defining obfuscation as good game design. In your ideal world, manuals would be obtuse and unhelpful because it "filters out the noobs" who can't use google like smart peeps, foreign language wouldn't be subtitled because it "filters out the noobs" who can only speak English, and shitty RPGs with a million trap options would exist, because you feel really good about following a build to the letter.
>>545061748I have a hard time believing that anon is serious desu.
>>545058983You dont have to give galfrey anything
Galfrey owes me children
>>545062076>owlcat adds kids for a literal demon in endslides post launch after fans complain>but not the human queen
>>545061658>Hey, so, I have to ask, was there some kind of giant troll by the WOTR fans when the game was in development? Like, did they all come together and goThe superfans are the ones who click through every dialogue option possible for every NPC and read through the paragraphs and paragraphs of their life stories (rather than just skimming for any important quest bits like most of us) and enjoy it while having 4 nonsensical dips on their character to minmax them. That should tell you what type of autist you are dealing with.
>>545061748Most RPGs are too handholdey in the sense that they try to make everything work if not tell you exactly what you need to pick. PF respects you enough to give you hundreds of options that will fuck up your build.
Why does he think it’s funny to repeat the same memes in every threadIs he okay
>>545061956That's a lot of effort to put into a shitty bait then. There are easier ways to pretend to be an idiot.
>>545057401Already big to mount from the get go, speed for ground you can cover etc.>>545058418I'd barely call the Centipede a noob trap. The rest are fine
>>545062242I guess I'm not retarded enough to think>INFINITY+ ENEMIES WITH 80000 AC WHO TELEPORT AND DISPEL MAGIC EVERY TURN AND HAVE MIRROR VISION AND CONCEALMENT AND ALSO THERE'S A TRAP EVERY FIVE METERSIs fun
>>545062434>PF respects you enough to give you hundreds of options that will fuck up your build.No, that's the opposite of respect. If I double or triple every shitty trap option, did I respect the player twice or three times more by trusting them to crunch the numbers and figure out the one single decent build that works? Or am I just a moronic dev who should never design/adapt a game ever again?
>>545062434>>545062760Concept of trap options does not exist on core.Even with rogueThings that stop being viable in unfair is a whole different story
>>545062760Choices don't matter unless there is a fail state. The fact that there are so many traps means that when you build your characters right, it is that much more rewarding. It's why games will often give you evil options, despite knowing most people roleplay good, because it makes choosing the good options mean more. Building characters is not crazy difficult, especially with Owlcat patching out most of the bugs, even if I will miss the elemental barrage and crane stance exploits, it just takes more thought that picking something because it "looks cool" like most RPGs.
I prefer many trap options to very few options like 5e just personal preference. The current 2024 version is even worse in that regard literally made for retards
>>545063142>Choices don't matter unless there is a fail state.Yes, that's obvious. What's also obvious is that complexity is a spectrum, not a binary between a million trap options for one good build (in which case "choice" also becomes rather meaningless) and no trap options.
>>545063142>Choices don't matter unless there is a fail state.yeah thats the illusion of choice then, which is the opposite of what an rpg>The fact that there are so many traps means that when you build your characters right, it is that much more rewardingno, because this isnt a roguelike
>>545063142this nigga competing in a single player game
>>545058418Awww fuck I forgot the covenant of the Inheritor this playthrough and I'm already at Drezen. It's not a dealbreaker or anything but it's a nice item to have and I always forget it
Never forget that it's always retards who don't even understand how the game works talking about tier lists and trap options.
if 5e is so casual and bg3 is so easy how come there's only like 2% of players who beat honor
>>545065361because it was made for gays and women instead of sweaty tryhards. it's the opposite end of the horseshoe from retards like >>545060435
>>545065361Most people that suck BG3’s penis didn’t even beat the game on easy modo.Most modern “gamers” don’t beat games.
There's literally nothing wrong with beating the game on easy modeIf you want difficulty wank, go play Elden Ring without taking damage
>>545065361Game is long as shit I have never reached the end of it I did most of act 3 just kinda fuck it its so over by then, most act 3 bosses have like 350hp and you can down that hp bar with just 1 character. They didn't make content for me
>>545065361Honor mode itself isn't hard but permadeath in an rng based game is annoying as fuck.

If your character is an Elf, you can't acess certain sections of the manor and most of the Orlesians treat you like shit>QunariDuring the Trepasser DLC, the Qun Queen sent a huge ass army to exterminate and enslave the Inquisition, they also treat mages like cattle

>>545067047As far as I know from hearing girls talk about the books back in highschool it was even more retarded then that
>>545009978Demon lords respawn in their domain when they die..besides, Baph lives, he's there during 2e, he only dies in Angel path, otherwise Notty lets him life, since she doesn't care about the Abyss>>544988350Never used them, but I don't recall them doing anything gameplay wise besides by pp damage. To kill a demon lord, you need to slay them 2 times in less than a year
>>545030337>>545030068Both Lawful and Chaotic have tons of diet evil options in Wrath, with Lawful probably edging out Chaotic. You can see how the game treats Lawful when Lann sides with Regill in any argument. Even though Lann is solidly LN, he finds more resonance with Regill's ideals than LG ones embodied by Seelah and even his own Goddess. That's because typically, Lawful in PF implies tyrannical, uncompromising, and unfeeling in the name of pragmatism.
>>545066641100% correct btw.
>>545066641>m*n want to feel like they "won" the girlThis explains Yrlisimps btwIt's also why Jae has so few simps, because she's too easy
>>545067028Yeah qunari are more brutal to their mages than humans are. I honestly think these grim aspects of dragon age were what made it unique. The fear/hatred towards mages, slavery, racism, even some dhalish elves were racist against all other races.Sad to see some anons saying veilguard did away with most of it. It made the setting unique.
>>545070091It's also why a lot of the LG characters can't stand Hulrun while the Hellknights speak glowingly of him. The distance between LN to LE is much closer in comparison to LN to LG. It's why many of the Lawful options feel so dickish.>That's because typically, Lawful in PF implies tyrannical, uncompromising, and unfeeling in the name of pragmatism.The first war at the dawn of creation was between the Lawtist Gods, who wanted determinism and no free will or sentience, and the Chaotic Gods, who wanted no structure (thus no universe). Law vs Chaos tends to be a bigger deal than Good vs Evil, which is why Iomadae is more okay with Asmodeus than she is with Desna.

>>545071471I have a bunch of CRPGs that I haven't tried but I can't decide what to play. I might play a non-crpg for awhile, but I can't decide there either.Expeditions: Rome, Skald, Serpent in the Staglands, Tides of Numenara, Pentiment.Those are the likely ones.I played about 5 minutes of Spellforce 3 and decided I couldn't be bothered to learn how it works. Might try Endless Space 2.
>>545008328Which mod?
>>545067028The dwarves in DA got the fucking shaft. We get stuck with Varric for 3 games and Harding for 1 and neither have seen Orzammar. We barely hear anything about how Orzammar is doing and the companions they give us know less than we do
>>545071868Torment is easy so if you want a chill game it would be a good choice.Expeditions rome was interesting, it even sheds some light on old anglo pagan culture which was cool because you don't see a lot about them in popular media.
>>545072084They backed themselves into a corner with Orzammar desu. They put it in a backwater (as far as the later games are concerned) and gave both leader options massive flaws.

>>545014114Lich gets a giant evil pyramid in the center of the city that glows with green magic and is patrolled by skeletons and occasionally vampires
>>545073002MGQ is good in spite of being mostly femdom trash not because of it.
>>545072616Baelan apparently tried to reclaim the Thaigs after the Blight. Could have been a neat plot if they didn't gut it
>>545073834Yeah but he's also a power hungry kinslayer. Then his opponent who is supposed to be the "good" option ends up being an isolationist which is another modern no-no. I think they try to gloss over Baelan's faults more than Harrowmont's in the later games if it makes you feel better. Neither can properly go anywhere tho.
>>545073327femdom kino
>>545074124the ending show that he did more for the dwarfs than anyone else, he allowed all the casteless to fight to retake thaigs, which why wouldnt you, you literally have a populace that cant do anything but crime, you might as well allow them to die for you. the dwarfs are so blinded by tradition that its a miracle that the society managed to survive, on top of that using democracy when theres an ongoing disaster further proving that democracy is a really bad system and the romans were right
>>545074914an oxymoron
>>545075042Listen man I was really hoping to avoid a discussion on dwarven ideologies of Thedas. I couldn't give 2 shits what happened to Orzammar after the blight honestly. Harrowmont turned out to be a retard but I find Baelan irredeemable for how he came to power. They can choose how they want to rot in their holes for all I care. I'm just telling you the meta reason on why they never came back as big forces. Plus gayder hated dwarves and he had a lot of control from 2 forward.
>>545073002>monster girl quest disproves thisentire point of the game is to become the strongest thing in existence before you can get with the main girl.
People who fell for Harrowmont's bullshit still seething years later
>>545075317>>545074124Harrowmont will literally send trap political dissidents into Golems if you give him the anvil. He's moderate, but kinda an ass.
>>545075317>Baelan irredeemable for how he came to powerliterally every dwarf does that kind of shit, dont hate the player, hate the game
>>545076097Harowmont vs Bhelen is just a fun exercise in seeing how many people will chose the objectively worse option if one of them is nicer to you personally and projects the image of being the moderate common sense candidate.
>>545076097God dammit fine we'll have the discussion. I'm not defending Harrowmont. He's a retard even if isolationism is generally based. Baelan is the savvier politician and tries (mostly succsessfully) to paint himself as a dwarven hero king to all, regardless of caste. That doesn't change the fact that he killed his father and brother for the throne. My standards on this are absolute. The ends do not justify the means. This is all academic though because I do not care about dwarves. I can't think of one setting where dwarves stand out as my favorite. Dragon Age just made it easy for me by making them all shitty assholes. The Legion of the Dead are the only cool part of their entire society or any plotline involving them.
>>545076516>The ends do not justify the means.they do when you win, and thats what winners do
>>545076662Buddy I'll hand the throne to Harrowmont just to shut that down. I don't care if they die a slow death in their hole. Not my problem.
>>545076761but it is your problem, theyre fighting the darkspawn constantly
>>545076834Doesn't change anything. Harrowmont and the Legion of the Dead would both still favor the wardens. I don't care if the dwarves prosper.
Picking dwarf noble and then siding with your brother after everything because you can see the greater future he will bring your people is one of the best instances of character growth I've experienced in a game.
>>545076946and then you lose your shield against the darkspawn and they erupt from below, whether you like it or not, the prosperity of the dwarfs is directly related to how well they handle fight off the darkspawn, youre missing the forest of the trees
>>545076516Do you think Harrowmont wasn't also rampantly murdering to get where he was?
>>545077125Better is taking it for yourself.>>545077157You say that like we don't know what comes next. Picking Harrowmont results in the dwarves stagnating but then a bunch of other shit happens and darkspawn are hardly a threat anymore. I think they killed the last archdemon in veilguard didn't they?
Look how happi my girl is!(Sometimes I hate 4chin filesize limit, can't take full screens because of it..)
>>545077304He wasn't. He was a stickler not a savage like Baelan. Honestly Baelan killing the dwarf MC is what seals him for me.
>>545077463>(Sometimes I hate 4chin filesize limit, can't take full screens because of it..)>PNGReally nigga?
Disco Elysium is honestly pretty mid.
>>545077496>he fell for it
>>545077337thats just post hoc, you cant use future events to justify past actions, and even then the writers didnt want to deal with the blights anymore
I knew this cocksucker was a Devil or something like that, but I didn't expect such a big dick Devil.
>>545077767>thats just post hoc, you cant use future events to justify past actionst. guy who would put a kinslayer in charge because of pretty words
>>545077463Wait something actually comes out of the stupid theatre troupe?
>>545077820no, i was referring to the sequels, and even then harrowmont had way better words
>page 9
>>545078116Then why did you pick Baelan? Taking future factors out, what reason did your character have to support Baelan, the hot headed renegade whose mean are openly killing their political opponents in the street, against Harrowmont, the wise advisor to the former king who is adamant Baelan killed his father and brother? Make it make sense.
whenever>>545078631
>>545078319because he is going to do what it takes to win, harrowmont just whines, im not retarded and can see through the farce of that is dwarf society and their retarded traditions
>>545078752So you're just an edgy faggot. I'm shocked (I'm not). Well even in the moment my guy could tell you he didn't give a shit about Orzammar but he needed an army, and better Harrowmont than someone who would murder his own brother.
>>545078319The game gives you a million examples of how terrible the dwarven traditions Harrowmont stands for are.>b-but the dirty politician wouldn't lie to me
>>545079163I don't know how much more clear I can be that I do not care one whit how the dwarves govern themselves. They gave me the choice and I would never give power to someone like Baelan. Anything that comes next is categorically not my problem or in my list of cares.
>>545077810Cute loli, can I kiss her?
>>545079313>I don't care I just obviously deeply care about how they govern themselves
I'm playing a necromancer and I have the feeling my party disapproves of meJust a hunch
>>545079313>I don't care>actually really cares that one candidate doesn't pass his test
Eldar female - Human male is obviously off the tableBut what about Eldar female - Ork?
