I decided to restart my playthrough as a different sort of character this time. The earlier parts of the game go much more smoothly once you're familiar with the city and how everything works. The snow and the subtle Christmas music coming out of the various shops is really comfy and atmospheric, and I enjoy prowling the alleys looking for victims. I think the Toreador have the best moveset because they're so movement focused, and nothing in the game can deal with mobility, so you just become unstoppable.
>>545572985>Ku FengIt was cool how she joined the party for a bit near the end
Owlcat raised €780,000 ($909,057) from 18,351 backers during their first Kickstarter campaign for Kingmaker. So I think by that measure Afterlight is on an equal level of success.
>>545573556Does it even have in-game screenshots?
>>545573739no but it has astarion so it's gonna be good
>>545573556romancefags are going be so mad with this I can't wait
>>545573275>>545572985Ku Feng/Racter/Gaichu team would be badass. Actually I think I got an achievement for Monster Squad or something by having them together at that point.
>owlcats new orginal IP hasn't confirmed if there is dragons in it or notBad sign.
>owlcats new orginal IP hasn't confirmed if you can fuck dragons in it or notNot looking good
Owlcat's original setting dragon will be polyamorous with everyone but you

There is only one good romance in bloodlines 2.

>>545575330if dispatch can be considered a CRPG then so can telltale games
>>545579760That's a fine material implication you got there, however the antecedent is false.Ex falso quodlibet.

>>545580303American website, speak some american
What are some other cuck-friendly vidya apart from CRPGs?
>>545580649In Deus Ex (not a CRPG), Anna Navarre is non-romanceble, which is equivalent to cucking you.
>>545580649Paradox games is you watching countries do stuff and you masturbate to watching them expand their borders and gain moneyIt can be considered cuckery, it can be considered an inflation fetish, your pick
>>545581053Do you think she and Gunther
>>545576213it's crpg related apparently
>>545581269there is actual unironic cuckoldry in some of them too
>>545580527If dispatch can be considered a CRPG then my dick is a 5-headed wyvern. "ex falso quodlibet", from falsehood anything.Your statement (if dispatch can be considered a CRPG then so can telltale games) is true, but it's only vacuously true, because dispatch cannot be considered a CRPG.

>>545581565An English major wouldn’t use “vacuously true” because it doesn’t mean anything. He also isn’t making an argument, he’s just declaring something untrue. He’s likely a psych major, or involved in some soft “science” like sociology
>>545584547>“vacuously true”doesn’t mean anything.wrong
The presentation of Wrath of the Righteous leaves a lot to be desired after playing BG3, especially the voices. But I'll give it a chance. Met the underground bug village.
>>545571070Is there any meaningful difference between Greater Dispel (target) and Corrupted Magic beyond the latter's debuff? Does Corrupted Magic have a higher chance to dispel?
>>545585025Who'd you go with, Lann or Wenduag?
>>545584547Maybe he's a major who is english
>>545585025I played Rogue Trader right after BG3 and felt the same initially but the lower quality presentation quickly became a non-issue because RT does some things better than BG3 and it's easy to focus on those things. WOTR is the same in that it does some things better than BG3.
>>545585309Check the caster DC on both spells, I think they are at the same school? If one uses a higher spell slut, it will be stronger, since the DC will naturally be higherI don't know if Disruptive Dispel (That feat that can stun the target after a dispel) work on Corrupt tho
>no world map or crafting system Bg3 isnt a dnd game
>>545586729>crafting systemYou got this idea from minecraft, kid?
>>545587051crafting has has been apart of dnd since adnd. Fucking solasta was able to include a crafting system larian has zero exuses.
Crafting in dnd has always been lame so who cares, no world map and random encounters however....
>why doesnt my high budget WEG have all the features of one of the GOAT crpgsYou autist find something new to complain about every day.
>avowed 2 confirmed Obsidian won.
Nobody bothers to use crafting in any dnd game that has it
Avowed 2 will be like outerworlds 2 and a massive improvement. All the anti-obsidian schizos will finally be broken.
I’ll only play Avowed 2 if they make it less cringe and gay, but nuObsidian can’t do that.
Avowed 2 more like Avoid, Too
>>545590037every game should have a no alphabets mod available for download
Am I mentally unwell if I kinda like the crusade management in WoTR? Would anyone recommend grand strategy games like EU5 or CK3 for a degenerate like me?
>>545590993Crusade battles are the kiddy pool version of Heroes of Might and Magic actually
>>545592085I should play hom3 some day seems kinda hard to start from zero though
I claim that Yrliet was originally supposed to come from Alaitoc, an officially existing craftworld >very strict society>many young eldar rebel against this strictness and become outcasts>the craftworld lurks on the edge of Imperial Space>they are preoccupied with fighting the necrons >their craftworld got bombed to shit by space marines right around the time of RT (The Siege of Alaitoc), and would have been destroyed if the marines hadn't realized the whole thing was a deldar setup and called off the attack>when Yrliet talks to the Alaitoc ancestors on Quetza Temer, they're acting like they're HER ancestors, trying to make her break up with you, instead of just some randoms from a different craftworldIt all fits, right down to her talking about how ossified and strict her craftworld was, but also ruminating that she should have stayed behind and defended it (which makes no sense against an incomprehensible techno-plauge, but does make sense against space marines)However owlkek decided>hey wouldn't it be cool if her homeworld was lost and YOU were somehow responsible for itso they hastily hacked up what they had written and pasted in some nonsense.
>>545587051Even the Warcraft 3/Worlo TRPG system has a crafting system bruv
>Devarra lands on top of my fully unbuffed party>Kills 2 useless pets>Fucks offIf owlfucks were truly rude they would stay longer
>>545590993Nah, I liked it too, love building shit and reclaiming the map, not doing everything at once also helpedNon ironically? Give Sengoku Rance a try if anime stuff doesn't bother you, it's a goofy rpg with soft grand strategy elements. Runs can be quite short and the replay potential is huge.If autistic UIs don't bother you, check the game that inspired it: Nobunaga Ambition that and the 3 kingdoms campaign are kinda nice
>>545592697Can't help but notice this fixed backstory doesn't actually solve any of her character's pitfalls
>>545592697I think the one who forced Owlcat hand was GW here. GW goes through all stops to make games not interact with the lore, otherwise we would have got something akin to Space Marine: Horus Heresy, it's very, very rare that they allow games to tie into lore relevant set pieces. It's a reason why the whole DAW set is all OCs and it took years before the Blood Angels became a canon chapter (And GW ruined them)
>>545593224Oh yeah she'd still need to be reworked. Perhaps to focus on "duty vs setting your own path" which is what she seemed to be about at first>>545593379You are probably right about this. The Blood Angels were a conspicuous example.
>>545592697Alaitoc is also in a permanent state of ass-hurt towards the imperium for various reasons, more than usual for space elvesAccounting for her throwing racial abuse at you constantly
>>545592697why are you so obsessed with this character
who else is high af right now? also>we still use catalytic converters in the future
>>545593935Please be patient with anon, he has autism
>>545594087Catalytic converters are actually amazing technology>platinum catalyzed reactions in a compact package, robust enough to stick under your car
>>545594087Why she looks like a ghoul?
What camping with a 12-person party looks like.
>>545594550Space is a harsh mistress
40k sucks because there’s no dwarves
>>545594550>ghoulShe is a solid 7/10
>>545594613Looks fun but unbalances as fuck.
>>545594691Ahemhttps://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Leagues_of_Votann
Fantasy is better than 40k because it has dragons.
>>545594828reject votannretvrn to squats
>>545594613Cute. Did you use the toybox mod to make all your companions appear or something?
>>545594960Fantasy is better because Elves are based there. Tyrion and Teclis are gigachads and the Wood Elves pull a vietnam on rat shitters daily
>>545595374My hidden shame is that I prefer Votann to Squats
>>545595642Did the Squats even have anything going on apart from being abhumans in the Imperium meant to act as stand-ins for actual dwarves?Don't recall them having anything special or particular about them
>>545595642understood, not everyone can live a life of taste
>>545595642Votann are okay lorewise compared to how phoned in and simple Squat lore is, I just think they look kind of lame.
>>545595642I think they're neat
>>545593137>Nobunaga's AmbitionDamn that brought me back. I played that on the NES. Didn't even realize they made sequels
>>545596003The best 40k game was made back when all the factions were still phoned in and simple.
>>545596264Which games? DAW doesn't count because most of the old lore were already gone
>>545595834Aren't those just short imperialsLike what makes them space dwarves specificallyAt least Votaan have that dwarfy lore
>>545596747Votann is more jewy lore than dwarfyBut I suppose fantasy dwarfs both clean and chaos did have a bit of that in them with gold lust, nepotism and whatnot
Are you a fan of temporarily removing party members or not? And I'm not talking about removing them, then getting them back instantly, I'm talking about removing them for 5 or more hours?
>>545597547why would anyone ever be a fan of that
>>545594087I'd kill for a scientist gf that looks like her.
>>545597547The thing that sucks about Woljif is that he's your only rogue (unless your MC is one), and he flees in a story event that would have been hard to anticipate on a new playthrough. This is right before an extremely long mandatory dungeon where you could have really used him. He's often a really important part of your party by that point, as I'm pretty sure a lot of noobs don't level Camellia with trickery once they get Woljiff, and his backstabs are clutch.
>>545597547>>545597637>>545597957It's called a noob trap. People who understand the game don't come to rely too much on any one character, since they understand that they can lose them at any moment. It's ballsy and excellent design from Owlcat. It reminds me a lot of how my Slav DM would conduct his games if a player was too good.
>>545598125wtf how many rogue players get held hostage in slavistan ttrpgs
>>545598125Woljif is a noob trap, not just because of chapter 2, but because he becomes shit in chapter 4 with all the AOE spamming monsters who will fry his ass. Arcane Tricker isn't great, and rogues fall off as they hit later levels in general. Unlike you, I think noob traps are shit design, and in conjunction with the early game slog, is one of the reasons why so many people bounce off of Pathfinder.
A noob trap is when anything ever happens in a game
Best crpg to play a Beastmaster Ranger?
I would never play OW slop even if I was high af
>>545598586Noob trap means that something that seems initially good, but either falls off hard later on, and/or encourages a suboptimal play style (in other words, highish skill floor, but lowish skill ceiling). Basically, it's a crutch. In the case of Owlcat, noob trap can also mean a bugged feat or a badly translated feat.
>>545598597It’s one of the strongest classes in BG3’s endgame.
>>545599090this guy is trolling youbg3 makes you powerful with items, not classesyou can't put a weapon on your pet
They would make a killing with a modern star wars crpg. Did you know it's been 20 years since kotor 1/2? That's crazy.Swtor is good in the meantime, and I suppose Zero Company has some trpg elements, which is a sibling genre to crpg. But still...
>>545599621SW is a dead IP
Where does the "outerworlds 2 characters are all ugly" narrative come from?
Owlcats games did well, why not just make a regular 2e game instead of starfinder?
I'm about to start Baldur's Gate 2 EE, and I can't find my voice again.Did they just drop some voices, or are there just more in BG1EE?The one I'm looking for is the Male Streetwise voice. It really gave some character to my Chaotic Good mage. (I chose lawful neutral at character creation, but didn't really think about what that even meant. Not like Alignment means much anyway.)"Time for a bit of the rough and tumble""What now, I wonder?""Of course. hehe, yeah.""Done and done."
Widesweep or Jinx?
>>545600462eyes
>>545600904I realize I should have also included the portrait I chose as it fits the voice absolutely perfectly.
>>545600941Widesweep for crowds (or bosses who summon crowds).Jinx for shutting down single entities.
>>545599621star was is turbo dead anon. disney milked all the interest and lore for a decade.just forget you were into it. it's like a friend that passed on. they were good times but it's in the past.
>>545601260What was up with Avowed anyhow?Yahtzee's review said it was just inoffensively combat-focused and didn't have a lot of companions to it. Some others have complained that it's not as deep or well fleshed out as even Oblivion.I might give it a shot if it's a good numbers based RPG with some decent character building and combat. (player skill or player strategy based, either way.)
>>545598913drake sword is a quite good weapon in every situation and you'll never regret using it.doesn't fall off until way later in the game, by that time you have a hundred things to choose from as alternatives if you want. it's the opposite of a noob trap, which would be something like a skill that is great at he start but is replaced by consumables later and taking it means you lose out. something loke magic weapon on a quality build for example in dark souls.
>>545599621Isn't SW pretty stale as a setting? Jedi with light-colored sabers, Sith with dark-colored sabers, the Force is super mystical and deep (been there, done that), the evil Empire and the righteous rebels... seriously, what is there left to explore?
>>545599621It’s over, anon.
>>545601458i don't know who that is, from the sounds of it, it's a gaming journalist. you shouldn't believe what journalists say.what was up with it, wasn't the target demographic blacks and women or something? it didn't look like they were aiming for gamers from the promotional material.
Is there any reason Beamdog decided to name the difficulty where it reduces damage taken by 25%, stops your allies from being permanently killed, gives you max health each level, and makes spell writing guaranteed as "Normal Mode"?Also, what's with calling the "You'll never lose" mode Story Mode? Baby-Play-Date seems more apt.
>>545601939That’s just modern gaming.“Story” is braindead baby mode.Normal is Easy.And Hard is Normal.
>>545601458I'd say it's closer to something like dark messiah of might and magic than an elder scrolls game. It's not going for the world simulation stuff that oblivion is.
>>545601661I mean they just released a politics focused show that was better than most of the original movies
>>545602290ok Disney shill
Solasta 2 will save this general.
>>545602435>New Paladin mechanicsNope
>>545602290Andor is miserable and unpleasant It is worthless compared to the original trilogy
>>545602435will it give us better OPs than this one
>>545602619Hey, that was pretty much my first WotR run.Only strength instead of dex. But I was a man, not a woman, so that makes sense
>>545602347Please. It's literally the only good thing to come out of Disney buying the IP
>>545585343I guess it was Lann though I didn't realize it was a big choice at the time, just thought she'd be a little mad at me. I made it all the way to waking up in the inn before calling it a night, but it's growing on me. I do wish the swaps between real time and turn based were a little more automated, I would have liked it to do it automatically for boss fights or something. I'm sure it's suboptimal but I like that I accidentally picked the deity that everyone seems to worship so far since she seemed the most adventurer likely, nice synergy with the first companion and the big battle to try and retake the stone. It's a lot of reading though, and I don't know anything about the setting so most of it is lost on me.
>>545602435Are you still going to have to pay for classes that should be in the base game?
>>545603536All the classes will be in the base game this time.
>>545602704No, this is
>>545597957couldn't be me
>>545605398Aurora landed a role in a SW show?
