>>545079323Why people keep comparing a tell tale game with Owlkeks? Also, what's the expanse game doing there?

I'm playing a necromancer and I have the feeling my party disapproves of me. Just a hunch though.
NEWS OF THE HOUR, HARROWMONT IS OLD AND SMELLS BAD
I love Rogue Trader, and I'm vry much looking forward to Dark Heresy. It's going to be even better.So many good crpg coming up...
Any fun CRPG i can muck around with on my phone when i go to sleep? I use android if it mattersI tried to install Shadowrun returns but it seems the port is too old and it can't be installed
>>545084783>>545085028i hope you get cucked in DH
>>545078631Pure or prestige classes for my MC.
>>545085480Read a book zoomie
>>545088354Book is for breakfast, lunch and dinner / while i eat. Pee cee is for game. Phone is for when i go to sleep
>Critical Role fans think they are humanAHAHAHAHAH
>>545085028>It's going to be even better.With these ugly companions? Wake the fuck up
Shitspants imagery mogs Dark Cuckery
no waifu im gonna kill myself... I am shaking and crying
How much cum is Larry gonna spray into the femqusitor?
Unpopular opinion, and I know it wouldn't be the most economical choice so they won't do it, but I would be fine with no romances in dark heresy. If it was a difficult story about survival and you didn't have time for something nice and positive like romance would fit the inquisitorial acolyte in the middle of a crisis theme. The tyrant star has appeared over your planet, and you want to waste time smooching dollies?But I know that's never going to happen, and most of the cast is going to have a romance, and it will be at least half of all discussion. Which is fine too, I enjoy all that too. But there is a timeline where there's no romance at all, and that would be fine.
>>545091935Round 2 for you and the space game
I cant wait for the solasta 2 EA and temple of elemental evil to come out so that way this general can stop talking romance and cucking non-stop.
>>545091935the smoochers would riot
What if Solasta had a good UI & lighting?
>>545093259It would be the most beautiful game of the century then
kill smoochers
Why is secret of the weepstone using 1e rules? I mean im still probably going to play it but its very wierd to use 1e rules in 2025
>>545091671Enough to single-handedly reverse the decline of the Eldar race
I let the guards burn Ember every time now. Her build is shit and her writing is painfully stupid. In fact I don't bother using any of the companions outside Nenio. Full mercenary party is the only way to take on UNFAIR.
forcing savescumming does not a puzzle make I hate slavs so much it's unreal
I want her to aggressively breed me mommy style.
>>545094628Savescumming is just the way you play these games. The design is purposefully hostile to you (why for the longest time the autolevel would pick feats that your class could not use or would acquire automatically).
>>545094106Part of the meme "Old School Renaissance" thing. They really lean into it, actually simulating dice rolls and a physical paper game module book.
>>545094659She's better looking than Seelah and Idira, at least.
>>545094106The guys who are making it are 70
>>545094515Shes not that bad with rays and winter's grasp
>>545094628I didn't need to savescum there, seems like a you-problem>>545094741>he uses autolevelHahahahahahahaha
>>545095051>he uses autolevelSounds like an interesting challenge run. Beating the game with Owlcat's atrocious builds.
>>545094659This is an ugly dude
Pure witch ember is the best hex spam bot in the game.
If there are no waifus in DH, I'll simply roll a female MC and romance Larry
owlcat has never made a good game despite trying really hard.
>>545095000>not playing Ember as a pacifist who does no damage through the playthroughsoulless
My life is pretty much underrail irl.
>>545095447We are already aware most of this thread is slavs.
DH will be a fun experiment.We have>two games in the same setting, made years apart so there's a recency bias>two games made by the same studio, now considered successful>one game has romance with pretty dolls, the other likely doesn'tSo DH has the momentum advantage but also the no pretty waifus disadvantage. We'll finally see who was right in the "romance matters" debate.
Im just saying owlcat could learn some lessons from underrail like1.spacing and momentum should be the most impact full and important part of a turn based game2.the amount of damage an enemy can do is more important than stat bloating their health3.in a turn based game if you have good range and crowd control abilities but the enemies dont the fights will always be easy4.if you dont have the resources to give your player alot of different items just add in a crafting system where you can make modified and/or better versions of the non-unique items you have5. A majority of feats/perks should be locked behind actual skill level and/or stat requirements, making a game were you can pick almost every perk from your class without any real requirements will definitely break the game balance
Hows wotr for natural attack gear?I'm currently torn between dual wielding or going with clawsClaws are cool but im kinda worried that theyre shitI've also seen some cool scythes but I wouldnt know what to pick to use those
>>545094515>playing the retard meme difficultyanon...
>monks melee bonuses dont stack on top of druids wild shape Owlcat is aware that animals can throw strikes with there claws and paws right?
>>545095787you romancefags are so braindead it hurts
i appreciate the slavic people for their contributions to vidya
>>545094515>give retards a retard proof ray spam build that can carry them through all the high ac bullshit>they still somehow fuck it up
Elves = White Anglo-Saxon Protestants Humans = Indians Orcs = Slavs
>>545094515>outside Nenio
>>545096259>Humans = Indians
>>545095873>Hows wotr for natural attack gearthere's plenty for at most one dedicated natural attacker>Owlcat is aware that animals can throw strikes with there claws and paws right?Its a longstanding rule in DnD and PF that natural attacks are not unarmed attacks and therefore do not benefit from anything that affects unarmed strikes. Its only(?) in PF2E that natural attacks are considered unarmed.
>>545096259>>>/pol/
>>545096027forgot (you)>>545096636
>>545094628>Those portraits
>>545096636So as long as I just gear my guy for natural attacks he can do alrightI think ill just make a party of mercs, most of these party members are really annoying
A party of only pet users
>>545097397>t. InEffect
pet classes are inherently patheticit's saying the base character has to be weaker and compensated by having petsif that's not the case then you have a character of normal strength + free pets which is broken and also pathetic
>>545097397Once I thought about doing a merc playthrough of Deadfire where everyone is druid/ranger, shapeshifting into bears and with a pet bear
If you play games differently than I do you’re a pathetic piece of shit and should just die
a party of human male fighters
>>545097780Pets mog this fool to death
A party only of waifus No MC, just waifus
>>545078631I don't know why, but ever since I reached WOTR end game, a few spells and attacks get their animations skipped. Aru 8x bow attacks get speed up to hell, so I just see the enemies exploding before she can even load her bow sometimes. Same thing with certain spells, don't even see their animations, enemies just explode.Speed is set to 1x and this is during TB, but RT is also having the same issues. Can anyone help?
>>545098486This is crueltyHow will they cope with having no handsome self insert to snuggle up to for warmth when they long rest?
Is Rogue Trader faster than WOTR on turn-based mode? I am a turn-based only Chad and won't to like WOTR, but it feels like the game would take 200hrs to do 100% turnbased.
>I am a turn-based only Chad >plays rtwp slop
>>545072079>>>545008328(You)>Which mod?Psykers of the expanse. Besides all the typos, the balance is an issue.
Linzi really chooses to follow this little fucker that she was just badmouthing hours ago if you admit you considered the rich aristocrat's life is more important than the nameless hired guards'.
>>545094106>secret of the weepstoneLooks really neat, gonna try the demo
>>545094515>troonfairJust use every buff in the game on your martial and have a skald / paladin / cleric with you and click on things, nigger
>>545095790True plus they should learn to make their games not shit
>>545099231Is that the one with the playable blank
>>545099158Yeah because you don't fight 30000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 niggerbolds every square meter since owlcrap can't crutch on realcrap mode and spam trash encounters at youThere's a lot less combat and very little of it is actual filler>>545099693No that's archetypes
>>545096332Well who else is gonna be the uncouth newcomers desperately trying to catch up to the original creators of art, civilization and magic items.
>>545094515Anon, Amber is literally your bread and butter raycaster.What you gonna say next, that Aru huge point buy stats and her broken af class are bad?
>>545099693Oh also, the archetypes mod is really good. Augmenticist is really cool and strong, blank I never used, it also lets you be an unsanctioned psyker.The tech-priest rework someone made for pasqal lets you be a tech-priest too, with a functional model this time (but it also reworks what they do, but I find that it's usually cooler / for the better)
>>545099953Massively over-reproducing and preoccupied (unsuccessfully) with sex with females of the more civilized race
So Embers crow is like a super god?
>>545099953Indians aren't like that though. Pre unification punjabs were alright, shit only became hell when they decided to unify and mix all their barbaric behaviours together.Non ironically, G*rms are the niggers of europe. Greekoids and Romans built the foundations of your civilization
Is kineticist without deadly earth just really weak?
>>545095790>crafting system where you can make modified and/or better versions of the non-unique items you haveThis would have been a fun use for all the cargo-slop you acquiredThe existing system of Loot Slop -> Feed to Merchants -> Acquire Weapons was a bit dull.
Spells should have components and you should have to stock up on them and have them physically on your spellcasters if they want to cast.
>>545100496>your civilization
>>545100316Ah I see the same guy made both. And more homeworld mod. Thats cool.
>>545099826>There's a lot less combat and very little of it is actual fillerThat's actually true come to think of it. There are only a few fights per zone and they're all big set pieces
What does your Rogue Trader's funeral look like?
>>545101806Yrliet sends her apologies for being unable to attend
>>545100512I dont know, its too high IQ for me.
>>545100496The original barbarians.but what year was it when punjabis went awry exactly.
>>545102248Ok and where was Mighty Rome during the industrial revolution?
>However, they always kept an eye on things—either via scrying or spies—and worked to manipulate affairs from behind the scenes.[1][4] A notable exception was archlich bards, who would prowl desolate dungeons, ruins, and wildernesses playing their own compositions, which were often melancholy and haunting ballads about the past.[4]>archlich bards
>>545101634Never heard of th->4e / 2eYeah ok3e has good liches but they're cooler than just "lich le good", they're just liches but powered by the positive energy plane (different, elven, ritual) so their mind doesn't get corrupted by negative energy
>>545096259Being an orc is pretty based thoughbeit
>>545102681Any arcane caster can become a lich, it's just a magic ritual. Bards are full casters in non-5E
>>545102884You mean baelnorns?
How is monk in wotr?
>>545103129Probably i dont remember the name anymoreLichdom isnt thaaat cool compared to being a vampire or ghost so I dont recall
>>545103003Other way around. Bards are only full casters in 5e.
>>545103307Fine, there's monk equipment for you
>>545085480I played Disco Elysium on Steamlink (streams games to your phone). Worked very well with a stylus since the game is entirely point and click. Very chill experience in bed.
>>545103427That's weird. I remember them being fullcasters so vividly.Wonder what the hell I'm thinking about then, huh...
Explain to me what difference there is between a WotR fan and a capeshit fan?Both are manchildrenBoth compare mythic paths like they're superheroesBoth are MCU fans
>>5451036405e doesn't have any rules dividing 'arcane' spellcasters from any other spellcasters so maybe that.
>>545103548Aren't they (whatever's left of the original za/um studio) releasing a version of DE specifically for phones?
>>545077463Drop 4chanx and use 4chanxt. They are basically the same but xt automatically convert and adjust your image size for youI was miserable like you once so i understand
>>545103848or just make it a jpg like a normal person
>>545100296>Aru huge point buy stats and her broken af class are bad?It is a subotimal class for Arueshalae that works because Arue's stats are that good. Thinking about it, what would be the best build for Arue if doing a full respec? I'm thinking either bard, magus, or ray sorceror due to her ridiculous CHR and DEX, with bard being the most "loreful" as that's the go-to spy class and the class most associated with Desna and Succs (not to mention no bard companions).
>>545099158RT is designed specifically for turn based. What this means is that combat encounters are more thought out; there are fewer fights but they each feel more organically placed than WOTR. WOTR sometimes feels like they just sprinkled random groups of enemies every 30 feet. That said, I still enjoy WOTR turn based. Just press spacebar whenever it's your enemies' turn which speeds up their animations. I think in settings you can also globally increase animation speed in combat.
>>545104090>I think in settings you can also globally increase animation speed in combat.Speaking of this, I always increase combat speed in RT to maximum. It takes a bit of getting used to, seeing them whizzing around, but it's worth it.
>>545100496what's your evaluation of Pakistanis then.
>>545103750I tried browsing dndtools to look at spell lists and still not sure. I might've been thinking of some of the weird classes from one of the game's many books.
>>545103761>a version of DE specifically for phonesNo. It doesn't exist. Never mention that abomination again.Seriously though, the mobile "version" is more like a high school project visual novel. Depriving yourself of the full game for... this... should be a punishable offense.
>>545103995bard aru is best aru. all the enchantment DC gear right at the onset of act 3 can get bard's spells to 30+ DC.to say nothing of the high number of enemies that are outright immune to any and all mind-affecting spells
>>545104310I actually liked watching the full animations in RT. Some attacks are very satisfying, and combat never became tedious. In WOTR, on the other hand, some fights vastly overstay their welcome (Defender's Heart in turn based almost made me quit).
>>545104738Not as many as you'd think
>>545104809I used a kill keybind to get through a lot of wotr
>>545096259I thought it was generally orcs=black
>>545098612Anon, it's girl love november
>>545098612The male inability to understand the universe doesn't revolve around him
>>545104738Did they change that? I recall you could clown even bosses with Insanity and Baleful Polymorph after you removed their buffs
>>545105115Not to people who read The Last Ringbearer
>>545105484nta but I disagree with him saying "high number", I have played through as Enchantment wizard and also lich focused on necromancy and enchantment, and it was almost always helpful. Basically the exception is undead, and that's fine, I found other things to do in those fights, but I would not say "high number" are immune to mind-effecting.In fact I'd say it's more typical on average that an enemy will have bad Will saves.
Which path is the best for kineticist?
>>545100773Sorry anon, I am a burgermutt, while we share some traits, our version of westernization is different, more consoom oriented than yours.>>545102248Good question, but if you look at their advacenments, India used to be an okayish place, where tech and trade flowed. But just like Arabs, their IQ dropped hard when they got cocky. India probably started their downfall between their Unification and the RAJ era.I also blame the caste system being abolished without a proper cultural revolution. If you have a strata of "sub-humans" they will cultivate shitty behaviours. Now that the castes are gone, we have a bunch of Shudras who think their habits are okay. That's why there is such a difference between punjabs that work at unskilled labor and the ones who are at the unis or have high skilled jobs, they were formely from castes that didn't ate their own feces for survival>>545104456The slavs of Asia
I just beat Kingmaker, now what?

Would it be better to do the abundant casting or enduring spell line first for an angel crusader?
>>545106882nice crpg discussion folks
>>545107170Do you like buffing every 10mins
>>545107170Abundant casting is a waste in a game with unlimited rests. Enduring spells saves you time.
Do people actually hate Linzi?
>>545106417play wotr
>>545107562Some basedgoys and touchychuds seethe very bigly at being slighted
>>545107614I'm looking at the companions and they all look really fucking stupid.
How much longer until wizards makes bg4?
>"Orcs could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this kingdom before. There could be orcs anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare chest.>"I HATE ORCS" he thought. Sweet Dreams are Made of These reverberated his entire car, making it pulsate even as the $9 wine circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of barbarians after dark.>"With a car, you can go anywhere you want" he said to himself, out loud.
>>545104090>WOTR sometimes feels like they just sprinkled random groups of enemies every 30 feetusually in WOTR this feels like shit, but I find that it fits places like Kenabres and Drezen, since one is being besieged by demons while the other has had demons inhabiting it for the last seven decades. Makes sense that there's a lot of the buggers>>545107379NTA but I like having Abundant Casting since it feels sorta stupid to be "in a hurry" in places like Drezen or the last part of act 4 and then proceeding to sleep through 3-4 days just to replenish spell slotsAlso I've noticed I don't keep saving the spells so hard for a rainy day that never comes if I have more than 1-2 casts of them ready
>>545107816They are but its the better Pathfinder game
Is mythical beast worth taking or is it a wasted ability?
>>545107851>barely changes the pastalazy
>>545107885I mean by act 4 abundant casting is just a drop in the bucket. I rarely find myself running out of spells.
>>545107885Yeah abdundant is quite useful in "Big maps", like Drezen, Leper Smile or the Iz Assault. I like being able to spam strong magiks more often.Besides, Casters usually won't take many of the Myth perks compared to Martials, so you can always have a slot at ascended anyway
>>545107904Yeah I dunno companions seem like a pretty important aspect and they all look unappealing
>>545098486Bechdel Quest
>>545107170Didn't take Enduring at all in my current playthrough on anyone, and I can barely tell the difference aside from not being buffed on the world map for ambushes.
>>545108569Daeran mogs all the kingmaker ones
>>545108915trvth nvke
>>545108915>>545109212If he was a girl he would have been peak. It's wild how the game would have been way better if Daeran was a girl and Seelah a dude
I may be wrong but I genuinely think Outer Worlds 2 is going to be considered a criminally underrated RPG gem years and years from now that was dragged down by outside circumstances the same way New Vegas was. >culture war leading to immediate dismissive impressions >bugs>obsidian’s reputation >the expectation of a FNV successor and not being exactly that>the disappointment over TOW1If in 15 years nobody is singing praises about how criminally underrated and unfairly hated this game was I will eat my hat.
>>545106352googling india 'unification' and still not figuring out which historical event that means. Everything is about hypothetically merging with Pakistan.
>>545109278He's peak as a boy though. If he were female you would all just call him a whore and hate him.
>>545109278Then there would be no reason to do any other romance route. They have to give Daeran a dick to keep the universe balanced
>>545109489Nah, I wouldn't. Daeran literally can change due to your input and his romance is the one with the most care (If you don't count the Cameliafag mod) put into it. He's hella sweet and will either be your ride or die bro or your hubby for life if you save him from the Darkest Dungeon Shambler. That and the fact that his sass is quite contagious, he's one of the few characters like that that I liked, the other one being DA:A Anders
>>545109361https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gupta_Empirehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_IndiaI don't blame you since most of the history to the east of Germany is often overlooked.But India was basically a bunch of Kingdoms and Empires gobbling up pieces of the region. Mughals went then unified most of the region we know today before the Britbongs occupied it and formed the RAJ.
>>545109489Everyone loves hot whores in fiction
>>545111519Owlcatfags lose their minds if a female character ever has a ex-boyfriend
>>545106352the raj was literally the best thing to happen to india, they seem incapable of handling the responsibilities of running country, since for some reason the muslims and the hindus and sikhs couldnt get along with each other anymore and blew up into 3 countries, they need an overlord to force these people to get along, thats the only thing you can do with room temp iq people
>>545111920You aren’t intelligent enough to understand the complaints others have of you simplify it down to that level
>>545108804>Bechdel QuestThis is good. Some youtuber or indie dev will probably steal it. Its a gem, for this place.
>>545110986There were at least 5 different empires on that page and I am simply too burger-brained to guess which one is the actually relevant one. So thanks. Was starting to assume it was the Mughal Empire being talked about. But no it's one that pre-dates conversions to Islam starting.
>>545109316you're making want to actually give this game a shot, the first one was so stupid and so forgettable that I didn't really care they announced a sequel.
>>545111519How come Jae is so unpopular then
>>545113090>hot
>>545113943Canonically she is hot (the RT says so)
In RT act 1 should you buy everything from the two vendors?
>>545115295Yeah grab it all. It's not like it costs you anything
>>545115295Its free!
>>545115234by that logic, so are valerie and seelah
high af playing RT
>>545116385All the Owlcat girls are canonically hot including Yrliet and WenduagNot Idira though
Dark Heresy is gonna drop like a hot diaper
im almost done with my playthrough solastas main story since i wanted to beat it one time before two came out (mostly played the user campaigns) . should i do the ice palace dlc for solasta or outer worlds 2 next?
>>545117541I played ice of.palace recently, it's fairly short so you might as well get through it. Plus if continues off the main campaign so would be good to play it whilst you still remember everything.
>>545117541>the spirit bear has lower HP than the druid Bad game design btw.
How do I approach this
>>545117716DispelHideous laughterCreeping doomHit it
>>545117716mark of justice + creeping doom
So will underrail 2 play like x-com since it will have companions? The combat seems very similar to 1.
Which crpg studio has the best game design?
>>545099348Nobody cares about the opinion of the court embezzler
>>545121116obsidian at least used to. deadfire is flawless.
Deadfire more like Plebfarter
Since the alpha is coming out soon shouldn't they have released more game info on dark heresy by now?
>>545123540Yeah something seems off.
Kingmaker more like Shitbaker
Owlcat gamesMore likePirated games
>>545109316I don’t like the aesthetic. It’s like steampunk sci-fi Bioshock Infinite without any of the charm. It also feels a bit like they want to be Fallout, but again, without the charm. It has this very “corporate” feel, like the artists were simply following orders and not minding too deeply about the style. It’s a shame because I’d love a first person RPG that involves flying through space visiting different planets and so on
Will clockwork revolution revive the acrpg genre? Veilgaurd, both of the outerworlds games and bloodlines 2 flopped, this might be the last chance.
>>545124302> I’d love a first person RPG that involves flying through space visiting different planets and so onStarfield
>>545124367It looks awful
>>545109316What's on the menu here?
>>545124450If my goal is space exploration a pure space sim is infinitely better. The rpg elements of Starfield don’t add enough to the experience to justify the game. I don’t find the world and its characters interesting, attractive, or particularly believable

In WotR, as a Skald, how does my caster level work when you unlock your mythic path (Angel in my case)? I have two separate spellbooks, Skald's is equal to my class level and Angels' is equal to my Mythic level. I assume spells cast from Skald's spellbook do not get the benefit from Mythic caster levels?
>>545125995Caster level is twice the mythic rank.No benefits from just having the mythic
>>545125995caster level is your level + mythic rank.

How is Black Geyser? It's been in my library for a year now but other releases have taken priority. Compared to other similar genre CRPGs (BG1, Pillars, WOTR) I've heard it's a bit primitive but know little else.
>>545078631How is expeditions rome female char route? I heard it's the only crpg where female commander gets treated differentlyI'm about to play this game for the first time

>>545127780I dropped it after a few hours. Its a perfectly fine game, just not exciting.
>>545127780I'm not too far in but it seems significantly better than it was on release but in this case significantly better means that it's okay. You can tell that they cut a lot of corners with stuff they wanted to implement but didn't end up having the time/money/skill for.
>>545128338From messing around in the character creator that's the vibe I got.Is the writing good at least?
>another episode of trying to play baldurs gate 1 and 2>another episode of quitting after about an hour because of the fucking atrocious pathfinding and party controlDo you know what the worst thing is? In the Beamdog EE that got released on consoles, they fixed this in a patch. They made the pathfinding and party control as responsive as fucking Pillars of Eternity. They just... never released it on PC.

Decided to play DOS2 on max difficulty for the first run, and I was close to regretting it but I finally managed to beat Alexandar and RadekaIt's insane how useful the teleportation spell can be, with radeka I teleported the corpse near me and raised it with my necromancer, then teleported her in the middle of my party for a bukkake starting combatAlexandar was more tricky, had to use my resurrection scrolls.

no reason not to have teleport + adrenaline + shield throw on everyone
>>545132595If you're referring to stuff Daeran says, it's irony.
>>545133094No the narration does it.
>>545132274Character would've worked better if she was hot but had an ugly personality, or vice versa.As it stands she's stupid, ugly, evil, disloyal, uncaring and selfish. She's not supposed to even be really strong. No redeeming qualities and no real reason to keep her around.
>>545133336Ugly Wenduag with a cool personality would have been fun, if unoriginal
>>545133168Probably written by some nobody unfamliar with the source material that completely misunderstood the character. That doesn't understand that scales, fur, feathers, growths, disfigurement and animalistic features isn't marks of beauty
>>545133635Or they just don't care and want to show how enlightened they are by finding flaws as marks of pride and beauty. It's a common theme with these faggots. Hatred of beauty is a common ruskie thing post bolsheviks.
>>545127979Well, the story won't change of course. But you will be treated differently by the Senate at the very least. Though the most most importat question - how she managed to bandage those titties to pass for a man >>545129609 - will never be answered or even addressed
>>545126597They shouldn't have leaned on her colour autism so much. I ended up benching her for good, since muh colours is what she talked about 99% of the time. This shit is just not interesting, sis
>>545134317Yeah agreed. Sick of hearing about swirls of crimson amidst stormy blue blah blah Should have emphasized the bookish nerd more
>>545134317Cassia isn't well written or interesting anyway. Only reason to bring her along is because she's OP or because you want some submissive generic spoiled princess to romance.
>>545134317>>545134389It's really that the colors always end up being the same. There's no variety in it, they're blue (sad), green (lying), black (evil), red/gold (devout), or le beyond comprehension (xenos and chaos). Classic dumb writer issue.

How does swarm actually play out? There must be a totally different story right?
>>545136819It's very fun and well written is what I'll say, you get unique content yes. You can also consume every NPC you meet.Very different, being a swarm is not as "casual" as other paths.
>>545136819Oh but no to having another story it's still closing the worldwound, you just add deskari and your new existance to the mix.You get a lot more personal with it besides raaaghh dieee! Like you do in other paths
>>545137008>You canTo reiterate, you CANTheres a big self discovery theme going on and on accepting deskari's (and others) idea of being what you are or not, and the concept of self and shit, it's cool just play it
Is trickster fun story wise? Tempted to pick it or demon just because they can fight nocticula and I never have. I'd click lich if I could fight her, not sure its possible to in every path with toybox

It's unreal how ugly most of the portraits through the series are, it's kinda funny though, since some characters that are labeled as ugly, are cute/hot, when the opposite happens. There is a reason why one of the biggest WOTR mods is one which makes Aru portrait cuter and give her demonic form more sass

>>545140118>>545140209>>545140652NTA, but I always wanted to get in the OGS, but the gameplay feels so janky sometimes, RTWP feels weird in those games, compared to say PoE1. Are there any fixes or something around?
>>545148913I wouldn't know, I didn't think the reatl time with pause was bad at all in that and I hate it in owlcrap gamesI think theres settings for autopause
>>545144164None, I want Fantasy kino, gimme an End Times AU where I can visit each race homeland and kick Archeron ass>>545147079Just do what Tyranny did, make the bad guys not totally stupid and give them some charm here and there.
>>545149189Both of the armies in tyranny are rapists and I really didn't like them much because of that
>>545148913Always felt fine to me I got used to the whole casting stoneskin when it gets knocked off, casting breach/secret word when an enemy has contingency, spamming fireball or magic missile when appropriate, casting chaos for disables, having chaotic commands up to not be disabled. 1 is rough cause you start with no tools and it's enemy caster getting disable off faster than your casters or not
>>545148685It's kinda weird how having a homebase you can improve and expand always make me like a game more, what sort of primitive urge is that?
>>545148685I'm not sure how I feel about this kind of shared storage. I understand that most likely, overwhelmingly players want it. But for myself personally, I'm not sure the trade-off of convenience is worth the loss of immersion. I'm trying to think if anyone has ever tackled the issue in a unique way, and I can't really think of anything between "shit I left that item in a box 5 towns back, better start walking" and "magic pocket dimension boxes"I'm imagining something almost like the Salvage Beacons mod for Fallout4, not at all the same, but in the same spirit. You send someone to fetch something you need but don't have on you, and it'll take some time (maybe money too) for it to actually get to you but besides that there's no hassle on the player end. This would reward foresight and not hoarding, while not punishing too badly, and maintaining a bit of "realism" that I like my games to have for immersion.
>>545149189>make the bad guys not totally stupid and give them some charm here and there.that's the opposite of 40K chaos, this would apply better for Fantasy Chaos
>>545149381>what sort of primitive urge is that?Transition from hunter-gatherer to farmer
>>545131983Original sin 2 is difficult early on but gets super easy in later acts, so things will get much easier even on tactician.
>>545149381Having a base is cool, even better if its a keep
>>545132973never
>>545149398Why don't they pull a Mojave Express FNV on this one? Have some mailman deliver the stuff you left at the mail boxes or something of this sort, could work
>>54514942940K chaos used to be smart fellas, but it all came to an end after the whole Erebus wank.And you are right, it's unreal how smarter the chaos forces are in Fantasy, Morathi and Kairos are actually good schemers for once

>>545144164Having played and gm'd all of them, for me it's:Dark Heresy 1e > Dark Heresy 2e > Imperium Maledictum > Rogue Trader > Only War > Deathwatch > Dark Crusade > Wrath&Glory.
>>545151761What's the difference between first and second edition of Dark Heresy?
This portrait looks so much better than the og..Why all owlkek femmes look so ugly?
>>545151761>Wrath&Gloryqrd? it looks like the coolest mix.
>>545151761Can you share any kino or funny moments?
>>545152067Same difference as most game editions, the war between simulationism and streamline. I prefer low power simulationsism. DH1e is the farthest on that aspect. W&G is the farthest into narrative play and character strength. The rest on the spectrum between those.Modules and stat blocks and items are easily converted between dh1e and 2e so it ultimately doesn't matter, you'd decide based on the handful of small changes, which are ultimately subjective. /tg/ can supply you with a download for both books so you can decide before buying the one you want.
>>545144164You really wanna go this route again? What happened to Owlcat making every Pathfinder AP? I don't see Jade Regent anywhere. Do you?
Playing bg3 on tactician and my friends told me it would be really hard early game and that I wouldn’t be able to kill the owlbear early. Are they just retarded? That shit died in 2 seconds and didn’t down any of my dolls.
>>545153092>Are they just retarded?Yeah
>>545152543I don't think Arue's portrait is bad at all>>545152716I see, thanks anon
>>545153092Like with DOS2, a good chunk of the people playing BG3 have never played a CRPG before that point.
>>545153132I suspected that was the case. Feelsbad
>>545149381It's the most primitive urge >make home>expand home>be comfy>eat lots of food and make lots of babies>rinse and repeatIt's how we got to this point, anon.
>>545152660NTA but the first time my group played RT, the vagaries of warp travel resulted in our ship arriving in a target system before we set off. We had time for a whole sidequest and to set up an elaborate ambush for the guy we'd been chasing, despite the fact he'd left well before us and sabotaged our engines to the extent we needed to go through repairs before even starting the pursuit.Actually, we had some time travel in our first DH session too. Literally the first time the sanctioned psyker tried to cast a spell in combat he immediately summoned a bloodletter. Next time his turn rolled around, he rolled perils again and this time he jumped forward in time by 1d6 rounds or something, essentially removing his character from the game for that period. So from the perspective of the party, the psyker shouted "witness the power of His chosen", summoned a demon, screamed and promptly disappeared from reality. By the time the psyker reappeared the bloodletter had killed the rest of us, it charged him hoping for the TPK but he'd spent enough time in nonexistence that its duration had run out and it got sucked back to the warp before it could chop him in half. The psyker was then summarily executed by our inquisitor when he reported back about this clusterfuck.

>>545156690I love Camellia.
I wanna smooch her.
>>545158586I find Blindwildcat often draws his women too stiffly and other times too masculine.This one was pretty decent though, maybe due to the focus on defilement and oviposition.

>>545103995>Thinking about it, what would be the best build for Arue if doing a full respec?Best archer build for me has always been 9 Eldritch Archer/10 Eldritch Knight/1 Crossblooded Sorcerer with Gold, Red or Brass dragonbloodline and Fire Elemental bloodline to turn all spells into fire damage. It's basically the build I used when going Azata into Devil for the cantrip Hellfire Ray, but even without that it stills pumps out a tremendous amount of damage
If they add another space elf companion in next season, what should their behavior towards Yrliet and Marz be like?
>>545158586>>545159910
kinda annoyed how Jae doesn't really say or do anything on chaos/heretical run, at least the other companions have actual ending appropriate for that path
>>545160891I wouldn't notice, I never take Jae. The character shouldn't have existed from the beginning. Same goes for Idira.
>>545158586Thank you, swarmanon
>>545154121Then where it went all wrong anon..a house that's not a shity wood slumhut is costing half a mil in my currency, food is getting expensive too..
>>545155790Why they had to make her look so slutty?
>>545161108Idira is alright. Just wished they kept her cutscene/storyboard design. She looks cuter with a more dense, fluffier hair
>>545161108this, but also jocasta and solomorne
>>545158586Swarmanon come on, do I really have to beg for the catbox?
>gamedev's barely disguised fetish
Which CRPGs have the most fetish stuff from devs inserted into the game?Which did you find the creepiest?
>>545163165wotr on both counts and it's not even close
>>545161949Jocasta is an especially strange addition. She seems to exist solely to be a black woman who jumps on the RT's dick immediately (and her portrait looks like she has a goatee, at a glance).I'm not really sure what the discussion was behind the scenes but it sure does appear like they thought the game needed more sex scenes but also more tokenism.
>>545079323Obsidian bros...
>>545164696I like that Jocasta is also mega ugly

>>545169341Since microsoft is probably going to make a bg3 clone I hope its inxile that makes it. I've liked the writing and factions in their games way more than Obsidian's lately. Now that I think about it i think I liked almost all of the factions and wasteland 3 except the mexican joker gang and even then I just thought of them as "meh" and didn't hate them.
>>545165304Finally I will finish poe. Now how about a turn-based mode for Tyranny?
>>545169779Not a crpg, so it doesn't count but a Disciples crpg would be neat

>>545165304There are a couple of real time games I will play, like dragon age, but I just couldn't stand pillarsMy brain just likes planning the action economy only when it's turn based, the unstoppable and relentless flow of time scares and confuses me, and I don't want it in my games
Gw was the reason idira wasn't romanceable btw.

>>545173760It's fine. She's my trusty sidekick woman
>>545168191>Spend 100 million on slop
one man's slop is another man's treasure
>>545169779Why so? From an outsider perspective, all I see are shirtless dudes and girls with their tummies exposed, nothing new for fantasy games from 2010
>>545172627Turn based is how TTRPGs are played anon, stop trying to be hip, RPGs started like that and JRPGs made that their identity before A-Jpigs came to be. You are probably younger than everyone here
>>545173961What the fuck did you do to arue
>>545173961>no way fag
I’m the one who decides who should be romanceable

>>545174460Made her better. Demon aru portrait sucks ass.>>545174484Love how she casually diss her, Demoniggers will never recover
>>545165304Excellent, been feeling like replaying Pillars 1 recentlyThis should be a good enough reason to jump back in

>>545174221
>>545174865In that case, thank you

>>545176295Fuck no
Real time with pause always has turns, they just happen in real time. All people obsessed with turn-based games suck at real time strategy games because they think slow and act slow - they say a RTWP game that adds a turn based mode is better even though it is the same exact game but now five times slower with them auto attacking trash mobs in turns one at a time instead of all at once.
>>545175358See last thread, it's not too big of a change, but her hair lools way better here
Saywer: we added turns and voice acting like BG3, its good now play it, it was always good it just wasnt BG3 enough give me money i will make POE3 as BG4
>>545176705cope more rtwptranny. Your cringe mode is DEAD
>>545133336>No redeeming qualities and no real reason to keep her aroundThrows hatchets good
>>545174941Brilliant is ok. 2 extra skill points isn't that huge, but it does pop up as dialogue/interaction options from time to time. Hack is good.Engineering shows up a decent amout, but sometimes overlap with Hack and Lockpicking.Lockpicking is also how you pickpocket with a perk, just fyi if you want to do that.Science doesn't do a ton mechanically, but comes up in conversations and interactions fairly often.Medical and Observation comes up a surprising amount in conversations and interactions.Speech is also naturally good and has functions even if you prefer combat.You won't be able to do everything, so there will be things you simply won't be able to do in a single playthrough (which is good, since the skills you choose to focus on should matter).You can save skill points when leveling up a bit and get a feel for things, then add the points when you get a sense for what you want to focus on.
>>545176741Oh yeah she looks really good there Cuter face too
I know I should kill her in that basement, but between her hexes, her crits, her buffs and her trickery I just find myself not really wanting to go ahead with that.
>>545176873This is the actual pitch Sawyer was forced to give to stop microsoft from shutting down Obsidian
>>545176017Why the fuck would you ever play Pillars more than a single time? The game is garbage.

>>545167971Why does competitive chess have a clock, I thought it was turn based? You're saying I won't get my turn if I'm too slow?
>>545176895I'm mainly talking narratively. Mechanically you can replace her with a Merc and get someone better. She isn't like Sarevok that has some broken passive/active ability like deathblow.
>>545177292I've seen timers run on tabletop granted it was a max level fight. Haven't seen a turn based game with one but not like it can't exist
>>545177398She makes a fine kineticist at least >>545177398Ideal party size for tob goes from 3 to 6(I base that on the amount of paws of the cheetah available to the party, and you must gather your party to venture forth) so them giving him to you makes sense or you could just pick him up convince him to become a mage and seal his strength at lvl 1 if you don't trust him

>>545179234Deadfire is comfy
>>545179234Deadfire is one of the best CRPGs to date. It stumbles with the main antagonist and story a bit, but design wise and just playing the game it's really good.
>>545179234>edited portraits
BG3 - game of the decadePOE2 - flop of the decadeRT - more baby mode than animal crossing
>>545175315I respec companions too but it needs to fit their story.
>>545179234Aside from the combat, characters, world building, minigame, antagonist, and plot, Deadfire is great.
>>545176705>Real time with pause always has turns, they just happen in real time. How do opportunity attacks happen in rtwp and tb? Think before you reply to this.

How much research goes into your development process? Cause I know for Pentiment, there must have been so much research involved. But were there any narrative adjustments with balancing the subject matter with the setting, the time period, and the themes present?>Absolutely. When you’re trying to represent a time and place or a culture, you are still actively making choices about what you are focusing on and what you choose to include. I think it gets oversimplified in the discussion of ‘Well, this is how it was, and you got to show it.’ The reality is that there is only so much time and only so many places where you can point the camera. You always have to make decisions about what you represent.>You do a lot of research, but you have to carefully pick and choose, not for the sake of being untrue to the setting, but focusing on the aspects of the setting you think are important to the story and the themes you wish to explore.>So, for example, one of the things that came up in Pentiment was things like violence against women and the abuse of children. Yeah, I guess we could have shown that… no thanks! And there are other things as well, such as exploration of race or antisemitism. And that’s not to say it didn’t happen, we touch on it, but I felt like if we had the citizens of this community engage in it, it would derail all other discussions.
>>545179605>BG3 - game of the decadeThis is the best litmus test. Anyone that thinks this you can safely disregard as a normalfag idiot.
>>545178826ugly stereotype
>>545179656>>545179407>>545179460>>545179584But I haven't finished POE1 and never will, should I even bother?
>>545179895He is correct, despite your juvenile cherrypicking. The game was heavily inspired by The name of the Rose and having a bunch of pointless stuff that detracts for no good reason makes absolutely no sense.
>>545179962>ugly stereotypeShe's based on and is a tribute to Pam Grier.
>>545178689Surprisingly, most WEGs don't have this. Conan Exiles does though.
>>545180601>She's based on a hollywood stereotypethat sure showed me
>>545179234Deadfire has turnbased mode and the disabled anons here seem to like that so it may fit your needs.
Do you play the pathfinder games in turn-based or rtwp?
>>545180361It’s a direct sequel with an imported main character, so no
>>545179234No, it's more of the same
>>545180840Hollywood past 1968 has never made a inaccurate stereotype of of a black person. Pam Grier was famous in the 70's.
>>545180385>Umberto Eco's masterpieceImpeccable taste, regardless of how Pentiment turned out. The movie was pretty good too.However, to your comment about pointless stuff, if you've actually read an unabridged copy of this book you'll find that Eco sidetracks a lot, wandering into chapters long history lessons and side-stories that are very nice if you love history but don't really help keep the story flowing at a steady clip.
>>545180937both. rtwp for trash mobs and turn based for difficult fights
>>545180840Stop being retarded at any time.Mafia 3 takes place in 1968. Pam Grier rose to fame in the early 1970s. The character, the missions and narrative surrounding her is all a tribute to Pam Grier and at the time that's how a bunch of black women were dressed and afro wasn't an uncommon hairstyle.This is you flaunting your ignorance.
>>545181236The point is that throwing in more 'extreme' topics like abuse of children and women for no reason in a murder mystery makes very little sense.
What constitutes good world-building in your eyes?

>>545180385my cherry picking his whole reply was juvenile? well i think its better to be childish than a stupid nigger that cant use words correctly
>>545181817Oh, yeah, I agree with that
>>545182157You posted that for this>things like violence against women and the abuse of children. Yeah, I guess we could have shown that… no thanks! And there are other things as well, such as exploration of race or antisemitism.Either because you were triggered by this or thing any intelligent person is triggered by this. He is 100% correct in his statement.

Tf..This is the first time I saw an NPC going through this
*thinks a right wing thought*you can't even debate it, since you don't even know what it is
my thoughts are chaotic neutral aligned
>>545180937Both. Turn based if trash breaks my tank line and goes for squishies. Turn based for anything that can actually hurt me besides tank spam like the votaries that can cast blasphemy or destruction
>>545183623Anon, Ekundayo won't rest till all trollniggers are removed from existence, sex is too much if a small affair compared to his holy mission
>>545165304>>545168223>swenThey had turn based in poe2 and all the improvements he mentioned in the clip (except for lethality) are taken from pathfinder.And pathfinder's one was taken from a mod made for kingmaker that they later implemented in-game proper.So in reality this all started with a kingmaker mod that allowed toggling modes and five foot steps, etc.
>>545183623Ekundayo already has the exotic baddie and the barista bimbo lusting after him
>>545177173I liked the white march a lot.The rest of the game, not so much
It flopped.Sorry you couldnt afford to pay asians to make a shitty anime based on it so you could pretend it didnt flop.
>>545165304fucking finallythe rtwp meme needs to die already
didn't realise rtwp had so many people filtered XD
Ok, here's a dilemma.So it turns out that Iomedae created the wardstone by imprisoning a bunch of really hunky angel guys inside them, and now after whole century some of them are really pent up!What should a prospective azata do in a situation like this?

>>545184157drop and suck them off, but not before castrating yourself
>>545181825...Old edgelord Golarion... Home... To think what they've done to it in 2nd edition.
You guys always talk abot romancing your MC.What about shipping characters in-game? I like seeing how things turn out.Few games have that sadly. BG2 had some, poe2 had an optional xoti+eder ship, you guys have been talking a lot about morrigan+alistair ritual sex which I personally liked 'cause it was me getting my boy alistair laid.I know bg3 has some but only played it once and didn't really experience most content.
imagine being the 5 dudes still employed post lay offs obsidian making POE patches at an office space that cant afford AC. Just putting out job applications wondering when your fired in between hearing about how it didnt flop
>>545184589Haer'dalis impregnates Aerie if the PC doesn't, she even gets the resulting inventory item clutter.

>ugly fat pig picturedidn't read
>>545184589Garrus and Tali
Option to change modes between turn based and rtwp on the fly is unironically the superior way of making crpgs. If it's turn based only or it locks you in through a choice at the beginning of the run (poe2) then they failed at making a game.
>>545184331That's sadly not possible, thank so much Iomedae, you frigid bitchAnd second suggestion is just plain gross, please don't post things like thatAlso does anyone know what Areelu was doing here? Was she just monologuing and then disappearing when she realizes you accidentally found her?
>>545184641Imagine being the guy obsessed with Obsidian talking to himself on an imageboard thinking he isn't mentally ill.
@545184740 (You)
>>545184728>one of the three greatest American fantasy series of all time"American" is doing heavy lifting here to make your claim work, it is interesting that the best fantasy series in general come from England and Europe.
>>545183623why would you do ekundayo dirty like that
>>545185427Butterfaces are common in rebound sex.
>>545179895Avellone gave owlshart pretty much the same advice when they were working on kingmaker

>>545184589Ship as in "actually can happen in the game" or as in "those two getting together would be cool"?
>>545184932 This wasn't happening now, it happened before..
>>545185817In-game.The aerie+haerdalis example anon mentioned happens in game.
>>545184713This doesn't happen, is this some kind of thread bogeyman? Why does it keep coming back to Haer'dalis?
>>545185937stop replying to obvious shitposters anytime
>>545185707bg3 is garbage
Are you guys implying haerdalis and aerie don't get together?
>>545184589>morrigan+alistair ritual sex
>>545185934Fenris and Isabella. Mako and Torian,
>>545186272who are the last two? Which game?
I think it's nice that love interests still find someone even if you're not doing their romance :)
>>545186332SWTOR Bounty hunter route
>>545186203Who did femcels get mad at here? Alistair or Morrigan?
Me too, but this cuck addled general cannot discuss a topic without derailing it with their degenerate fantasy.My MC romances X, and I would also like to see Y and Z romance each other, but this is unreasonable for this general, apparently.
>>545186493Neither. You have to agree to this, and persuade alistair to do it, so you'd be retarded to get mad at either of them. I did Zevran anyway lol
>>545186740>you have to be reasonableyou're expecting too much from this general
>>545184589Laezel and astarion have sex if you don't do either of them
>>545185707Ekun is a cool bro to have around, besides, his total non-human death modus can be quite funny in the kingdom interactionsWyll is a nothingburger character that bows to demon mommy
>>545186493Morrigan. Something about Morrigan should have used a turkey baster to get pregnant.
>>545186493The devs for inserting their cuck fetish. They conveniently made the other Warden present there unavailable because "his blood is too corrupted since he's older so it has to be your boyfriend, either get cucked or die lolol" No reason to hate Alistair or Morrigan, Alistair didn't want it. Morrigan seemed a bit unesecarily teasing/flirty but I guess that was more of bullying Alistair.

>>545186493I like how you can tell the second our resident cuckschizos find a new game they haven't played to shitpost about.
>>545184924Yeah, having real time for fodder and tb for tougher fights is the way, hope more crpgs pull similar things
>>545187119You got that from the /v/ thread too?
>>545186740>You have to agree to this>and persuade alistair to do it>you'd be retarded to get madSo women would definitely get mad at Alistair
Hyboria moggs the shit out of LOTR btw.
>>545186740>You have to agree to this, and persuade alistair to do itThis is the most humiliating part of the ordeal if you're romancing him, you literally have to beg your boyfriend to cuckquean you
>>545187117The other warden is an el generico that dies to a QTE. Besides, it would spoil the fact that he can't be saved and will die during the siege, that's why he's not an option.If femcels love Ali so much, just make him king and let Loghain bite the bullet
>>545187274Yeah. It's pretty good for a fanfic.
>>545187132He's 15 years late to cuck post this. Also most people here are men, this doesn't bother them.
>>545186117No one actually knows, no one plays bg2 anymore
Why do you chuddas keep giving those tards (You)s?
>>545186117They don't get together in-game but I think you can assume she cheats on you with him after the game.
>>545187453I wouldn't deny alistair the satisfation of personally killing that limey fuck. So he lost his virginity to morigan, big deal. Could be worse. He could be losing it to that frigid bitch
>>545187534>implying cuckposting isn't just larping cuckschizos replying to other cuckschizos anyway
>>545187747>I think you can assume she cheatsthere's no reason to assume this if you're not mentally ill
"You might wonder how did I end up here.."
>>545187747Extremely unlikely, since she's ladylike, likes gentlemen and honesty. Haer'Dalis also fucks off. Stop inserting your headcanon fantasies.
>>545175858>I got enough of long drawn out fights in BG3, so no thank youLike?>inb4 the optional fight where you attack an entire castle>or the bugged one where 50 ghosts take turns before you every turn>or the final fight in the game (only reasonable complaint here btw)So?
>>545187119cute
Underrail has an expansion? Is it any good?
>>545187747No one mentioned cheating or cuckoldry your cuck addled degenerate.That anon literally exicitely said "if you don't romance her".
I'm glad waifufags have finally made the transition to just reading fanfic.
>>545188789Heavy duty is meh content wise but has some new weps to try out. Expedition is pretty good and the stuff you can get there is good enough to risk going there early for it (I was lvl 13 on an area intended as postgame to collect some loot)
>>545188789Expedition is nice, though roaming around with a Jetski can be kind of annoying.
>>545187119>old hag banshee companionWould be cool
The whore really thought she could 1 v 1 me
Oh shit I completely forgotAt the halloween party I was at I overheard some guys talking about how bg3 companions try to fuck you at randomIt was really weird hearing that irl
>>545189017>>545189052Its just new areas and items?
>>545189185Where is this
>>545188643Anon, the Goblin one in Act 1 is right there and the game is littered with it, especially in Act 2 and 3. Larian never learned how to pace turn based fights well and didn't get the memo of not having tons of units in a single fight.This isn't like you sit and play a 4 hour match of Go where each player plans +10 moves ahead, this is wasting my time on too many units just playing out animations and shit which results in a 20, 30 or even 40 min slog with minimal thinking.You will of course defend this like all Larian shills do.
>>545189396Expedition is a shitload of new areas. Heavy duty is just one stealth area (or heavy duty combat for max lvl characters if you don't stealth)
>>545189185Yeah, there's going to be more there I believe. Borderline pointless though since you can just pyramid in.>>545189396It's basically a fourth of the whole game desu so there's a lot.
>>545189502>Anon, the Goblin one in Act 1 is right thereIt's at most 10 enemies and you have like 7 NPCs helping youHave you actually played the game or are you just parroting? It at most lasts like 4 or 5 turns
Haha spike growth go br. Ends all combats in act 1 by lvl 3
>>545189676>retarded larian shill shitpostThanks, now I know not to give you another serious reply or waste 2 hours arguing with someone braindead like you. God I hate fucking fanboys.
Is the DH alpha soon?
>>545189485If you pay for sex, once you take all your clothes off and place all your inventory on a table and then head to the bed, you get jumped by dwarves.You're naked with no weapons or armor. But you can easily have your companions teleport to you with the pyramid, nice touch is, that when they teleport they appear next to your bag and not next to you, since your bag has all your equipment, including the pyramid.
>>545189676>It's at most 10 enemies and you have like 7 NPCs helping you???????did you even play the game?
>>545189935In december
>>545189849Retarded ass faggot nigger, I'll dissect your tranny nigger post further too.>>545189502>act 2The vast majority of it is exploration with MAYBE some combat vs groups of like 3 guysThen you have 3-4 BOSSFIGHTS (???) that you can even finish via dialogThere's an ambush of 3-4 enemies for lae'zel's questThere's the ambush on last light but that's a survival fightThere's protecting the gate but that's a wave fightThen there's the tower at the endWhat fucking "especially in act 2" dumb nigger? Go on.Act 3 is mostly walking around and fighting small groups of people, it doesn't even have any large fight until the end of the game
>>545187119Can you give me a qrd on what happens in the fic?
why would you wait for your turn in a videogame?
Larian utterly failed at balancing content for characters above lvl 4. Best they can do is throw more money at 3d artists that have more talent than the entire writing and development team which is what they ended doing
>>545190114We're civil folk here, we queue as is proper.
>>545189670>>545189937I had both pyramids on me because I was looking for a cool place to put oneSo yeah, there's that.Now I'm exploring a drug addict then, got catfished by a spider too, my guy can't catch a breat
>>545190160fair enough, carry on
>>545190058Did you?
>>545190154Larian fails at all game and level design. They're flat out bad at it.
>>545185707there are more people who like wyll than know what an ekundayo is
Why does no one ever talk about Banner Saga? It was one of the better narratives in a long while and has a unique turn based mechanic.
>>545190461Cause it's old (and not really a CRPG to be fair more like an oregon trail kinda game)It rocks, I still haven't played 3 though... but I love 1 and 2 a massive amount
>>545190307the goblin camp does not only have 10 enemies and who are these 7 ncps you dreamt up. when you kill the boss everyone is aggroed and if you return to go to the underdark all of them are hostile apart from the sleeping ones. even then 10 enemies isn't a small number
fallout 4 is real time with pause
>>545190571>t-there aren't just 10 okay?? a-and even if t-there were t-that's a lot okay??Pre-emptively coping = I accept your concessionThe 7 NPCs are the red guy up top, 3 fighters below, wyll and another 2 archers up top
>>545190595Your vats?
>>545190260>SpiderI think you can still cheese this by speaking to her with different characters to gain multiple revive totems.
>>545190461I saw the negative reviews for the third one and didn’t want to get burnt.Also isn’t it a CYOA?
>>545190554>Cause it's oldWe discuss older games all the time>not really a crpgReally? I get the Oregon Trail comparison but there are choices to be made through the trilogy, even if you don't make your character from scratch.
>>545190805>isn’t it a CYOAIt could be argued every crpg is this
>>545190715you're mentally ill. you're told there aren't just 10 and you twist this into you winning the argument.>The 7 NPCs are the red guy up top, 3 fighters below, wyll and another 2 archers up topand you're on drugs too. the guy said goblin camp, not emerald grove entrance
>>545190848Well there's no equipment, you do kinda level up I suppose but there's no stats, there's not really any kind of party, you technically do play a role I suppose, the game is mainly played via the caravan mechanicIt just doesn't share a lot of things with what most people think of when they think CRPG I think
