>>545897856>TQhuman male fighter
>this is just one banter
>>545898103We must be better men...
Am tempted to respec Arue as a court poet or a bard, but I still want her to be an effective archer. Is that viable?
>>545898762Well archers need a lot of feats, and you'll have worse BAB, she'll definetly be a support first but she should be OKAY
>>545897856>TQHuman tech barbarian in rpg with eldar main characters
>>545898762>I want a character who can fill multiple primary rolesit'll always be a trade-off, and rightly so. You should pick a lane and stick in it. Making her a better archer takes feats that could be used to make her a better bard, but overall it'll be okay, just don't expect a master archer + amazing bard. More like a bard who hits stuff 50-75% of the time.
RELEASE SOME MORE FUCKING CRPGS ALREADY
>>545899470NTA but I'll disagree with>alwaysJust because some kinoclasses like skald can really just do it all
>>545899692Don't worry solasta 2 is coming out soon.
>dominate lets you control the enemies exact actions in solasta>in bg3 the AI just does whatever it wantsIs larian full of hacks,
>>545900129Bit odd how there are summons in DOS2 and you control them just fine, dunno why they went that route.
From a defensibility perspective, is it a well-designed fortified city?
>Seelah if you have a mythic path she likesKeep your powers! >Seelah if you have a mythic path she doesn't likeIOMADAE HAS SPOKEN GET RID OF IT
Will solasta 2 have romances? no? then I'm not buying that shit
>>545900226>90% of it (visible) is on a comically natural moatYes
>>545900203probably because 5e ruleset
>>545900227When a Black woman speaks, you listen and learn.
>>545900463You can issue orders to a dominated person, you can use your action to control them even
LOOK AT WHERE THE TEXT IS!!!!!!! WHY IS IT OVERLAPPING THE GRAPHIC??????????????? WHY IS THE BLACK TEXT TOUCHING THE BLACK FRAME????????????????????????????????I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY MIND A FUCKING STUDENT USING UNREAL ENGINE THE FIRST TIME IN THEIR LIVES COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN THIS.THIS BASICALLY REPRESENTS THE PRODUCTION VALUES OF EVERYTHING IN THE GAME.NONSENSICAL GARBAGE MADE BY ABSOLUTE MORONS FOR ABSOLUTE MORONS
>>545900591What viddygame
>>545897856Male Good Priest that isn't gay or portrayed as a retard>>545899981Is Solasta even that good? It's a 5E game that doesn't even go to lv 20, so you are gimped in a few departments, and the whole party seems to be merc onlyPresentation and all is kinda meh, can anyone sell me on this besides the custom campaigns? Does it have fun side mechanics like Expeditions and the PoE Fort? Did they make 5e classes less modular?
>>545900226No, everyone would starve very quickly.
>>545900705Based on the logo in the bottom right, I would guess Outer Limits 2
>>545900227That's every character tho tbqhwyfam. Every character except based Ulbrig who's a legendfag.
>>545900371They could have just terraformed the area around it to make it like that, mages and all>>545900492You rape and dump!>>545900227The same can be said of most characters desu, they felt scared that they could be tied into wacky shit,and since Ascension is not common knowlege, going against gods is different than fighting demon lords and whatnot, they can shit on your soul after you die or personally fuck you up for being a sinner.Golarion gods are petty fucks.
>>545900839They eat goodberries for every meal
>>545900226those outer walls look like excellent defensive structures for the attackers, should they capture them
>Aeon Act 5>Almost every soul is gone. The first to be taken were the traitors, the deserters, the murderers and the tavern keeper. Then the liars, embezzlers, thieves, looters. Then the beggars, prostitutes, drunks, merrymakers, and orphans. Then everyone else.>The tavern is empty. The inn is empty. The barracks is empty. The temple is empty. The streets are empty.>Camellia is gone. Daeran is gone. Woljif is gone. Seelah is gone.Lawful seems like a very harsh alignment in Pathfinder.
Azata, Swarm, and Lich all change the look of Drezen pretty drastically, while Angel is just normal Drezen with beams of lights from heaven everywhere. Any other mythic path radically change the environs?
Dragons should have had a more prominent role in WOTR since you can become one
>>545900226I mean yeah you want a moat so that even if you can break the walls with siege engines it'd be difficult to breach the city anyways
>>545902241Is seelah not lawful enough for true aeon?
>>545902241>Aeons be like: "I'm gonna spend my infinite time and power to install hostile architecture in EVERY city."
>>545902513Hows azata a5 drezen? Dont think im ever playing the hippie path
>>545898043She will never love you Elancuck
>>545901490That's a lot of goodberry...
>>545898074That's too high fantasy for our grounded games anon.
>>545903006You have a flying castle. Azata would be badass if it weren't for Owlcat "humor." No, I don't give a shit about two delusional artists having a spat over a giant cheese statue, I am battling demons. I know that chaotic implies a certain level of IDGAF, but the chaotic-ness of the Free Crusaders is to the point where they either come off as clueless or unempathetic to the suffering and death around them.
>>545901490wouldn't so much fruit make your shit stink? Assuming you don't get diarrhea.
>>545903342tesg is that way
>>545900226In the game they say how the walls are good enough to deter ground attacks but they need that banner of iomadae to prevent demons from teleporting in.Not sure what protection they have against flying creatures, looks like a dragon can easily swoop down into the city.
>>545903627Also, there's the baby havok dragon, who behaves like the actual child she is. This means that every time there is an important or dramatic story moment, she interjects she's bored or whines for cookies.
>>545903627The way they tried to sell azata was "you're basically a superhero" to win the capeshit crown.What we really needes was some sort of fey mythic path, like proper fey, not treddickster.
I want to besiege Arueshalae's Gloomy Gorge
>>545897856>What kind of exotic companions would you like to see?women who haven't slept around
Kek the factions you have to choose between are both so hated the companions don't even bother arguing for which one.
>>545904419https://youtu.be/1SoujXIWzf8?t=1286https://youtu.be/WQ7ppvG6r4k?t=371
>reddits in you're are path (beer elementals ahoy!)problem??
>>545904069But Angel is also being a superhero, especially if you go for an Angel of Mercy run.
>>545904069trickster was basically as retarded as any first-worlder's motivations were in kingmaker, so I don't think we missed much without a fey path
>>545904952Whomst and is she fuckable?
Who would win in a total war (with armies)? Angel, Demon, Azata, Lich or Swarm?
>>545905806No romance in this game, that's the ranger companion from Dark Envoy. Slightly edgy elf bounty huntress
>>545905819whichever one manages to recruit setsuna shy
did owlcat state that they were going to release more companions, in addition to the ones in the art they've shown so far?anyone have the tweet
>>545906034>monkWell there's only one lawfag on that list, looks like el monje gordo is cruising to justice
>>545906034>Setsuna shy got AIDS and diedWho win?
>>545904069Trickster is the fey path basically. We should have gotten a Protean path instead.
in an alternate universe where owlcat didn't exist, what crpgs would crpgg talk about?
>>545904345Aru full respected into a bard is a beast.
>>545906478If owlcat didn't exist this thread wouldn't exist sadly. This formed out of a dying owlcat general. We still have the links of the original creator, monkposter, in the OP.
>>545906357AID is a buff anon and you can't stack them so the plural makes no sense but you just made him stronger.
>>545906357Swarm can just take control of a bug colony he seeds on the other side of the planet, it's more likely that the gods band together like a Rovagug situation than any of the other mythics being able or more accurately available to stop it
>>545906372Trickster would have been fine if wqe had gotten Lantern CHAD instead of Nocticula's lame stepbrother.The baiting is insane, the fucker even escapes through fae portal when first met in Gray garrison.
>The angel empyreal Arshea is a champion of the repressed and weary, providing mortals deliverance from their bonds.So wait, Angels can champion liberation as well? Doesn't sound very Lawful.
>>545906357Whoever recruits chief oogabooga
>>545907560>Chief Ageboya was detained by ICE and deported to AfricaWho win?
>>545907440the good dieties of pathfinder are a nepotistic yuri polyculein other words, "deliverance from their bonds" refers to relationship bonds so women can sleep around
>>545907405I killed Lantern bitch so that's not possible.>>545907440Angels exist in all 3 of the good planes
>>545907440While Owlcat implies angels may only be LG, angels on the TT could be any good alignment, from Lawful to Chaotic. In fact, the most powerful angels, Solars (which is the type you and the Hand of the Inheritor are in WotR), are usually NG.>>545907730Iomadae is even worse in TT. Consider that.
>choose Lich mythic path>become blackWhat did owlcat mean by this?
>>545907440To add on to >>545907889Archons are specifically LG and the heaven equivalent to azatas and agathions
>>545900226From people? Sure. From demons? lol. lmao even.
>>545908235>Dies>Becomes black>Is reanimated
>>545908470It's a good thing that the majority of demonic forces are made up of cultists and low level demons.
>>545908235>>545908995Stop posting this garbage this isn't /b/
Does Owlcat make their romanceable evil characters too evil? Viconia and Morrigan are both evil girls who are more popular than their good alternatives. Despite what Camtards will say, she's not all that popular in comparison to Arueshalae.
>The racism schizo is here.
>>545909198Uh bro? We know what happens without the banner. Drezen fell easily.
>>545903647That's why you get casters and rituals to teleport your town's feces into the abyssNot my problem lol
>>545905819swarm rules make swarm really hard to damage so swarm
Conan the fighter and thief
>>545909591Viconia isn't the most popular romance. Jaheira is, because she was introduced first and Viconia's romance involves reading context and getting into her headspace (so saying no to sex the first time it comes up). Additionally, the "evil" romance route in Daeren, and it's one of the best romances in WotR only held back by the fact that Daeren is a dude.
>still no info Im starting to think owlcats new setting doesn't actually exist
>>545909970>only held back by the fact that Daeren is a dude.ngl, that's a pretty big downside
Pillars Owlcat and DOS are the same shit. Pillars has the worst core ruleset, Owlcat has minigame bloat and class bloat and woke, DOS is maybe mechanically okay, but its silly and infantile. Neither has good writing. Solasta has decent encounter design, BG3 has good encounter design, but shit ruleset and cinematic DA-like style (decline). KotC 2 is where its at, but Hearkenwold is better than AoC
>>545909970No one would be willing to "fix" wenduag if daeran was female
Why didn't baldurs gate let us have 6 companions at a time like a real dnd game.
>>545910598>implying you have six D&D friends>implying you have six friends
>>545904419Yrliet is right there bro
>>545910598Would make the game way too easy
Solasta (one of the top 4 dnd games of all time) has only 4 companions so that means it's good game design.
>>545910821She is stolen from us by femcels
>>545910821Is Yrliet autistic and asocial enough to be a virgin?
>>545911417She is still a woman so she def had sex
>you're a filthy animal and I vomit at the thought of touching you and will repeatedly tell you this and insult your species>i will break things off with you as soon as you do or say something I even slightly disagree with, but you need to accept all of my boundaries and requests at face value>you helped me and risked your life for my quest but I'll still lie to you and get you rape tortured, oh and I'll still ditch if you spare my life and rightfully don't wanna help me find the other leldar and I'll rage at you for it and also my first instinct is to draw my gun at you when you tell the truth to my kin who genocided a human worldIf you think this is a bad romance you're a nazi incel entitled pervert chud etc.
>>545912009>NOOOOOOOOOOOO ELF WON'T HAVE SEX WITH ME IT'S ALL ABOUT SEX
>>545909970Daeren is good, but even if Daeren were a girl, I think Arueshalae would still be the most popular because she lines up with the power fantasy themes of WotR best. Targona and Terendelev would be the only one who could meaningfully compete in the exotic and powerful hottie category.
>>545912358There's Nocticula too, but she's more of a fling for Demon playthroughs.
Savamelekh you blockhead! You tricked my spidercat gf into betraying me!
How would your KC raise his kids?
>>545912867With farmer babysitters
>>545912358I never realized how badly drawn that sword is before.
GROK, hit up those roles
>>545909970>Viconia's romance involves reading context and getting into her headspace (so saying no to sex the first time it comes up).Are you confusing her with Aerie?
>>545912867My KC wouldn't settle down with the abyss's cumdump
>>545912867I am a multitude of bugs who ends up forming a religion and acquiring a divine portfolio dedicated to the amassing and sharing of knowledge though (ascended swarm)I don't have kids, it's all me
Why doesn't yirlet just close her eyes and pretend your not human.
>>545912867Devil and Aeon have no need for kids. Lawchads have evolved past the need for sex. Sex is the root cause of so many of the world's problems.
Aeon is literally the npc path
>>545913792Aerie's romance is easy. You'd have to be actively retarded to fuck it up.
The true neutral mythic path should have also been a dragon.
>>545914505I don't think there's a single neutral dragon
>>545914212>devil>he didn't take over mendev's royal bloodline for more controloh shit nigger what are you doing
Who brought the Aruefags back
The good part about owlcrap characters being faggot and gay is that I kill them as swarm in self defense without caring too much about it
>>545914374Still, I remember that sex comes up early in Viconia's romance and you don't have to say no at all, maybe the second or third time though
>>545914685I fkr got what color it is but I know there is the pure mana dragons in dnd, does pathfinder have a version of that?
>>545909970>Viconia's romance involves reading context and getting into her headspace (so saying no to sex the first time it comes up)You also can't be too much of a simp, she'll dump your ass if you immediately agree with her on everything
>>545914969I don't think crapfinder has an equivalent for the 10 billion different dragons 2e and 3.5e (most kino and diverse edition btw) introducedOnly the colors
>>545914685>>545914969Gem dragons are the neutral dragons of DnD/PF.
>>545915129No!Cool to see that at least planar dragons is something they have though.
>>545914986If you push back without being an asshole, she'll respect you. It's similar to Wenduag, though less idiotic.
>walk up to Cassia>slap her big Navigator assHow does she react?
>>545915347>It's similar to WenduagLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
How do you feel about elf companions?
>>545915547Female ones should never give you sex
>>545915425She seethes and calls you a nigger or some 40k equivalent because she wishes she was inside a romance novel>>545915547Depends on how they're written, as alwaysCan't remember the last elf companion I had in a game (eldar are not elves)
>>545915681What kind of romance novels?
>>545915547designated love interests or protective older figuressometimes both
>>545898103>Nalia de ArniseYou meet her when she's trying to agitate patrons in a bar in the Athkatla slums to act as her personal army and storm her family castle, on the basis that they should all know her because she has helped "their kind" in the past. You should know what kind of political takes you are getting into, if you travel with her.
>>545915986This is going to be Statfinder
>>545915986playdough ass minotaur
>>545911417She's autistic enough that the other elves don't like her and shit on her non stop so yeah. Marzipan doesn't count, he's fuck a sentient chair.
>>545911417Probably she's young and really stupid
>>545916448>he's fuck a sentient chair.So would anons fr fr
Would Yrliet still have simps if she directly talked about her past sexual encounters with other Eldar in dreamworld.
>>545915986I'm going to write Morning Glory Milky Way Farm.A young Eldar on the path of the outcast ends up all out of money and Elantach and has to take up a job at the vat breeding haemonculus farm. There, she falls in love with this huge ass Deldar that's being milked for vatborns. Femcels would slurp it up.
>>545916657there are people who get off to humiliation and sexless relationships, so probably
>>545916657probably even more so. Look at Ombrecoeur
>>545916657She would have had even more simps desu
>>545916657Doesn't she kinda mention one? The dude who taught her that ritual?
>>545916657She'd be less popular in a game with a large playerbase, but more popular in an Owlcat one
>>545916991was he teaching her in exchange for sex?
>>545916646If you betray him on his last quest and give him back to the wyches he actually becomes one.
>>545916657Your post is nigger retarded but pretending you're being non-retarded here, it depends entirely on what you meanIf it's like valeria or valerie or whatever then no
>>545916843>Ombrecoeurwho
>>545916657Yes because shes a female elf. thats the only thing they like about her
>>545917153Would you teach an autistic and uppity, snooty, Aeldari-version-of-barely-legal teenager for something else than sex?
Would Yrliet still make schizos seethe if she wasn't an elf?
>>545917392Very pedophilic post
>>545917392truvke
>>545917518Tell me would you defend her so hard if she wasn't an elf?
Jae>cassia>yrliet
>>545917518Why would she refuse to fuck you if not ewww humans stink shtick
>>545900227on God next time i play that game i'm killing or ditching over half the potential companions. having Seelah, Lahnn, Sosiel, and the Dwarf hitman around has never contributed anything to my playthrough except the Gladiator quest in Hell.
yrliet=argenta>>>cassia=kibellah>jae
>>545915986
Yrliet should just close her eyes and take it like a woman who married rich fat dude
>>545917392... and to think Marazhai is over 500. Which makes him and Yrliet weird but also him fucking the RT. Hmmm sure let me stick my dick in something that has the lifespan of a friggin hamster.
>>545917690I assume most people here are already used to that response from mon-keigh females

>>545917869>on Godwhy do you reject your own people?
>>545917992what if my young inco RT just wants to kiss her cheek
>inculding argenta in the romance ranking More proof most waifu fags dont actually play any games. Just play a WEG or some gooner gatcha.
>>545914927You remember wrong. You have to turn down sex with her or she assumes you're only after her body.
>>545909970Viconia seems to be the most popular among long time fans or those who played through all the romances.
>romance rankinguh oh retard alert!it's a girl ranking, stupid
The Idirafag is a Yrlietard gulp
>>545918290huh? you can like girls without wanting their vaginas?
>>545904069>"you're basically a superhero" to win the capeshit crown.This worked on me. I went Aeon at first cause I wanted magical, illusion piercing eyes like an anime character. All the lawfagging was boring me though so I switched to Azata and used it to become an anime character instead. A lot of the Azata NPCs who live on your floating island (cough Filllory cough) are too "lul so randum" for me but I do like the Dragonling. Particularly because she gave me an excuse to bench a boring party member to make room for her.
>>545918413can you, really?
kill all elves, space or otherwise

>>545904952game?>>545910408

my rt could rape yrliet and argenta ez
>>545918785elfoid pregnancy is retarded and weird and they need to have sex multiple times during it for it to actually work so the white tears that run down your leg probably aren't biologically compatible in 40kverse sorry
>>545910408i've got WotR and Baldur's Gate 3 over Pillars because the thousand pages i read in WotR and BG3 at the very least carry over to their corresponding tabletop universes. with Pillars, everything you're learning only really applies to one very new and very niche universe. part of why i bounced off it the first time was because it's very verbose and up its own ass about lore that i don't really care to know yet.
>liking a woman for non-sexual reasons You are gay.
>>545918802Not true
Pathfinder elves are fucking weird. You see their eyes? Creepy.
>>545918895argenta could fart your dick off>>545919007pillarverse giving you the answers to the universe and it being "idk theres nothing up there i guess" is kind of really lame i think

>>545918978>they need to have sex multiple times for it to actually workWait so Eldar knock their woman up and they have to keep going at it while she's pregnant? Holy molly stop I can only get so erect.
>anons would sooner simp for a sexless elf than a black queen in their crpgwhat do you have to say for yourself?
>>545918858>hating "lel so randum" quips but liking the king of the quipsi definitely enjoy the Dragonling's brand of random more than "muh cheese statue lmao", yeah. lol>benching people for no reason since it takes a pet slot and not a party sloti only need a 5 character party with a Summoner in it. anything more feels like party/turn bloat. Me, Woljif, Arue, Ember, and the Dragonling is plenty after Ember learns to conjur a small militia of elementals.
Im just saying owlcat could learn some lessons from solasta like1.dont stat bloat the hell out of the system you are adapting 2.you dont need romance3.alot of the minor rules that exist in the game you are adapting are there for a reason4.you shouldn't be able to make all the factions that give you gear like you especially ones that hate eachother, if your rep gets to high with one you lose rip with the other5.being able to assign mercs generic personalities
Nobody asked
>>545919405Yes, however that worksInsemination top-ups or whatever it's supposed to be. Reminds me of fish cumming in the water to get it on laid eggs
>>545919426>add black queen>don't let the player get blacked by herwhat gives?
>>545919438oh, wait, i forgot. i actually do bring 6 character along. my 6th is just a DLC companion who isn't supposed to be in the main campaign. lol
>>545919482Counterpoint, solasta has actual tabletop RPG mechanics, how is owlcrap meant to compete when their game could be remade as sliding cubes with numbers assigned to them on a flat gray 2d plane
>idira >black queenShe is like a 50 year old mid black woman
Abelard, get the melanin ones off my bridge
>>545919691This. Is there a single crpg where the token nigress is fuckable?
>>545919590Whoever at GW inserted his barely disguised fetish in that lore, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
>want to replay tyranny>don't actually want to PLAY tyrannyDecisions, decisions...
>>545919740>*characters*i think i also had an enchanted item that added an additional creature to any 1dX creature summoning spell and another that ensured i always rolled the maximum number on 1dx creature summoning spells. so Elemental Swarm was fuckin' devastating. lol
>>545919153my rt will rape her pussy not her ass

>>545909970>only held back by the fact that Daeren is a dude>held backIt only makes him superior. Though female Daeran would have been a 10/10 romance as well

>>545915425>aaiiiieeeeee lord captain-sama no baka!Or some other generic anime shit like that
cassia event where she lays an egg
>>545921385She is not that type of fish
>>545921096Abelard is so old he is not a "guy", he is "grandpa"
>>545921465you have to jork it on it lord captain it's the only way
>>545914332Aeon is pure kino from a story standpoint but pretty shitty from a "playable MC" standpoint. Would be a better story in some other medium. Renegade aeon is cool tho.
>>545921707Owlcat's strange implementation of it aside (aeons don't care about laws exactly, they are literal drones for the monad, your roomba doesn't care about the laws of sucking up dirt it just does it's job) it's a bit of a tough one to try and "be" an aeon in pathfinder without being kind of just lame, since they're barely above being mindless drones
>>545921385
If you go lich with all undead companions and you don't play a buffing class can you still do well?
>>545914332Aeon is the only one that can push galfrey's shit in and punish her in the end.
any crpgs where you're on a brutal quest for revenge?
>>545921569is he really that old? he only seems like he'd be in his 50's. he looks younger than the old guy from Veilguard.
>>545921915>they're barely above being mindless dronesNormal life for a lawfag am I right
>>545921915>it's a bit of a tough one to try and "be" an aeon in pathfinder without being kind of just lame, since they're barely above being mindless dronesThat's why it sucks to make those decisions. The story itself is fire (eg romancing Galfrey and letting her keep her memories or deleting them are both great) but to make those choices over the course of an 80-120 hour adventure? Really sucks the wind out of the power fantasy for no real gain.
>>545921995Your lich spells are very powerful so yes, you can. Not every undead companion is good (stauton or whatever is dogshit for example but he has warpriest buffs at least) but sure. In particular the archer and the dual-wielder are not only cool but they have cool little bits of content to them.If you let the archer go free she later rejoins you and it's pretty kino, she learns of the world and how it is and you get to play as a pretty neutral / good lich in regards to her.The evilness of the route is greatly overstated in the current iteration, at best anevia still gets a bit pissy at you for one (1) line, but you don't even need to kill all of drezen for example. Unless you do for your 10th mythic level, I just killed zacharius because I no longer needed him and he threated me, so I ascended with only 9 mythic levels.
>>545921995>>545922338Addendum, when I say later I mean LATER. Anyhow, on Core you can essentially just spam your busted ass spells through most encounters, realm of the hungry flesh alone just solos the game until like... well no, it just solos the game, it never really stops.
>>545922258Abelard is over 100
>>545922258he's well over a century old but the game contradicts itself a few times on his family structure. He's either grandpa/great grandpa to Clementia and Astartia or dad/grandpa.
>>545922338>>545922487Thanks for the info

Magus bros help me out. Playing Eldritch Scion in Kingmaker, how impactful are the bloodlines? Thematically I like the undead bloodline but the free STR bonuses from Abyssal is very tempting.
Alright, waifuniggers, rate your top 3 waifus from all crpgs you've played NOW!
>>545912867Well fed.
IT'S UP!!!https://youtu.be/sA3TnoJZsGI
>>545923204The REAL reason it's popular because you have to choose between a HR Stacy superheroine or a ex criminal tomboy who falls in love with the protagonist super hard and has an entire sequence dedicated to her masturbating about him.
>>545923453Decently, they give you free spells (pretty sure magus still gets those right?) and some feats if I'm not mistaken. Like getting wings for dragon bloodlines, thats +3 AC right there. Also access to draconic disciple if they want the bite attack and extra strength.Undead isn't the greatest I don't think. The one thing that you do is hit people with a sword and the occasional touch spell, and those are seldom necromancy (outside of vampiric touch), you're no CCer or buffer.But then again unless you have something in mind it's doubtful that it'll make or break your build.

about to start a rogue trader playthrough (first time)any advice? any builds to absolutely avoid? any recommendations for fun builds for the mc?
>>545919007>part of why i bounced off it the first time was because it's very verbose and up its own ass about lore that i don't really care to know yet.Uh duh excuse me have you ever even read a book its super simple and just read the bloated in-game books and research the in-game cyclopedia hurr hurr hurr just read 6 tool tips for highlighted words in every sentence in the beginning of the game

>>545924045>Women jacking it is peak though so that's coolIt's one of the reasons why it blew up in popularity.
>>545923228That post wasn't a shitpost, unlike you I have unique ideas and am not afraid to push the crpg genre in a new direction.
>>545924234Not romances. Your headcanon doesn't count

>>545924234based benchod
>>545923491I can't even remember 3 romances I did in crpgs nigga, most of the time they are all badHere's some I think were cool>iron bull in DAI>fenris in DA2UhhhhAstarion in bg3 was cool... what else.....I've done the owlcat ones but none of them are worth mentioningOk yeah I think that's it, those 3 and they're all guys>>545924179The game doesn't tell you but most things are based on your stat modifier, not the whole stat, in this it's stat/10, 50 is 5 for exampleHit chance is 30%+ your whole ballistic skill, caps out at 95% and it turns into crit for any extraWeapon skill increases your chance to parry and to make the other guy not parry, there's no "hit chance" for melee exactly (gun people can only dodge it, for example, you can't miss the hit roll ever and they can't parry)Leveling toughness is worthless it just gives you a tiny bit of HPINT only matters for operativePER reduces enemy dodge by the whole stat, AGI reduces it by half your stat but only if attacking with melee weaponsSTR just increases melee damage (5% per modifier, 10% if twohanding)Dual-wielding is great because more attacks but it gives you a debuff to hit so early on it won't be the most accurateOperative is not terrible but it's the worst archetype, it's mostly built for sniping and debuffing but you could always use 2 pistols, there's a lot of support for double pistols because of a companionWarrior has trouble getting extra attacks but can use a saw that hits multiple times a turnBlade dancer is sort of the designated sword classSoldier deals with guns in general but not too great at single shotBurst-fire is OP and so is playing with an Officer, unfair isn't broken and stupid like in other owlcat games, I find it's the only way to make the game moderately engaging but you're learning so ymmvThat's most of what I can think of currently, have fun
>>545924179Oh yeah don't play the damn game off "vibes"No leveling willpower won't do shit because you're a psyker, it'll only do shit if your specific psyker powers use them (essentially only pyromancers, telepaths, and sooorta biomancers (only affects your healing spell))You'll figure it out, enjoy. Oh yeah and meltas are bad (actually bad yeah not just mediocre, bad) so I wouldn't recommend focusing on them because they take some heavy lifting to just make passable
>>545924179Oh yeah also, last one I promise, both dodge and heavy armor are viable, the higher in difficulty you go the harder it is to use dodge because enemies get obscene amounts of dodge reduction and it's easier to increase team-wide armor than dodge, but with buffs and stuff it's still doable. Outside of unfair just pick whatever you think is cooler there. Also AGI helps your initiative tremendously while PER only helps by half, so keep that in mind if you have "I want to go first" autism like I do
I just downloaded knights of the chalice 2 againI tried it way back at release but decided to wait for Pierre to fix the difficulty.Is there any way to speed up animations?It takes forever to watch stuff like AoE damage animations, rage etc..I don't want to have to do another bg3 playthrough
>>545925301>3.5e gameThat's neat, tell us if it's good because that system rocks.
>>545924324I never understood the finger in mouth thingTry putting your finger in your mouth right now, it's saltyMaybe it's a w*man thing
>>545923540Post it, swarmfriend.
>>545925636wash your hands right now
>>545924179Its honestly a much easier to learn system than 3.5/pf so I don't expect too much problems, its also very tuned towards the player so I'd probably go a difficulty or two up compared to what you normally play on other owlcat games. A psyker MC will be the most talent and skill starved character but its still plenty fun as long as you have a clear vision. Only tip I'll really mention is to stick to your conviction, even if its the no major conviction route. You don't have to abide by every decision but like I think 85-90% of the time you should follow your chosen path
Why can't nu-devs just make games inside infinity engine again? Do you need BioWare's permission to use it?
>Ran through BG3 multiple times even outside of multiplayer runs>Ran through RT 4 times with each DLC>Still can't get a 2nd runthrough of WoTR out the gates even though my first one was just at launchMan its not like the other two are short games but for whatever reason I just can't replay wotr
>>545925825no...
>>545925460I had a lot of fun with knights of the chalice 1 and I would absolutly recommend it but I don't know how to feel about this one.It adds more classes, spells, bigger party etc.. but he went for AI art and cheap 3d models instead of doubling down on his soulful pixel art.
>>545923565>IT'S UP!!!>https://youtu.be/sA3TnoJZsGIforgot about this guy, like him a lot.
>>545926223>but he went for AI artLameI hate slop so much it's unreal, every single sloppers that's not a pornchad with the same tastes as me sucks ass too, it always looks so shitty

>>545924804>>iron bull in DAIReally? That one didn't make you cringe? You don't sound like a waifunigger anyway. Just a reasonably well-adjusted guy

>>545926682I don't see why it would make me cringe, what about it?

Remider that Camellia is just a CE version of Jirelle.
I'm still in Act III, I assume I will be able to connect those paths later? I tried doing so from both sides already
>>545927056You can die at 400 or 500 with rejuvenation treatments and some bionics. Really stretching it you can get to 1000, that's the oldest human we've known of I think, but that's a big outlier and not standard. Heinrix looks younger than he should regardless since he uses some biomancy to help his body keep up.
>>545927056>Do humans live into their 100's in 40k?the cybernetics aren't just for show
>>545924804>Leveling toughness is worthless it just gives you a tiny bit of HPToughness is actually great for Abelard and Jimym because they can both take exemplar talent thatgives bonus to strength depensing on toughness, which is especially noticeable on jimmy, since he can also take strange vitality. In fact he doesn't even need to lvlv toughness since he will naturally have vitality in the 100s due to all the buffs
>>545926876>for Yrlietmy penis
>>545918264>gave her Minthara's outfit
>>545927154Jirelle is much more cute than Cam.
>>545927092Since she's not a bounty hunter she's not translating perception to damage, and she uses las weapons so she never gets dodged, so it's the assassin helmet easy. Get notes on weakness so she can boost her direct damage sometime too.
>>545926778How badly did it get rocked during demon occupation?I can't see anyone defending this against any army of comaprable strength to defenders
>>545923491i've just got Morrigan and the Handmaiden from KotOR 2. Minthara is cool but she's honestly just like... Morrigan, if Morrigan had been an afterthought and not a main character. my other RPGfu is Liara T'Soni but she's not a CRPGfu. Yrliet was great but i haven't finished her route so i'm undecided.
>>545927056>Do humans live into their 100's in 40k?Only biomancers and those who have access to cybernetics and rejuv treatment - so rich people
>>545926778>no walls when it acts as a garrisonCrazy
>>545927459That TT version would probably worse to invade than the vidya one on foot. Once you make it into the vidya city it's game over for them. You have to fight through two warcamps and over two moats to even lay siege to the TT one.

how come RT has no cuckino compared to wotr and kingmaker

>>545929906aaaand he facted all over
wait a minute, anything below core means the enemies outright don't use their skill set in full?I thought it was just numbers
>>545930059i have no idea what "additional enemy behaviors" means but i always like to have it on just in case
>>545930059there's a switch in the difficulty settings for it. I'm pretty sure it doesn't turn on until core so yeah.
>>545921159>cute or endearing Which one is Astarion and Daeran? I don't think either of them are that
>>545930462Astarion is both cute and endearing (objectively, yes. disagreeing just means you've never done it)Daeran is kinda cute but owlcat romances are also kinda whatever so eh
>>545929573big DC and just Weird all over everyone, that's the master strategy of that retard. Big boring.I much prefer ability damaging into oblivion, many ways to get this and feels quite kino as well as having secondary effects (less con: lower hp, fort; less dex: lower AC in many cases, lower reflex etc) Best served by lich though

Demon can cast spells as a move action too even and for martials you get a ton of number go ups with your demon aspectsI can't really understand how one could find demon to be weak
>look up redeemer queen nocticula>she's much hotterwe got robbed
>>545927174The paths are pretty fucky in a "haha you can't go here because reasons" way, it probably will connect I don't remember and have no context from your screenshot anyway. There is some arbitrary gating so your instinct is probably correct, but overall the graph of the map is like 3-4 big long fingers. Save upgrading bastions until you have something on the outskirts and then build a teleporter there. There's also the Nenio shit that you can teleport around with but I can never keep their names straight so I don't really bother with that.
>>545931125>doesn't have her belly out>hotterno
It's strange how enemy tiefs get to have normal skin tones or elven features, while your guy is stuck with human features and weirder skin colors.
>>545926116>Ran through BG3 multiple timesliterally how? this is like a child saying "again again" to being read a story.>>545925893It's old janky garbage that no one willingly works with. We need a general engine, but GemRB is slow as molasses, and there's literally nothing else. Also new devs by and large just go to Unity, and overall every little studio has their own little institutional knowledge and special tooling that gets lost and relearned with dev turnover and the next crop.Of course I haven't contributed to GemRB so I have no grounds to complain.
>>545931884I watched the land before time probably 40 times as a kid.
>>545930630>Astarion is both cute and endearing (objectively, yes. disagreeing just means you've never done it)I've done it, I dont know if I'd call it either cute aor endearing. I liked it though
>>545932020are you a masochist
>>545931884I unironically put RPGMaker games above unity and unreal games. At least they aren't pretending to be game devs. Any studio that doesn't even attempt to make its own engine is just playing with themselves.

>>545934223I've heard it's surprisingly good, I didn't know there was multiple ones, but somewhere in my head I marked that people were surprised by it being a pretty good game. Maybe due to expectations though, I have no idea.
>>545934709Nuh uh
>>545934923they are very good rpgs tho not really crpgsboth are definitely worth a playthrough

>>545932897>Are you jokingNo? So can you name a single thing at all? ISn't it a problem with most romances in crpgs? They're all about "ME! ME! ME! ME! ME!". Daeran does stuff that is caring. Once. Jimmy also does (although those things aren't even romance locked, and he does caring things not just for you, but for other people too). Any of bg3 characters? I genuinely remember anything>Having trust isn't cute or endearing? Also no? Playing with children is cute and endearing
>>545903647That provides ammunition to launch at the besieging army.
>>545934709nta but there hasn't been in a long time at least, since I've been here anyhow which is a couple years. Possible I've missed it but unlikely.Probably my next game after I finish up abandoned BG1 and Pillars1 replays. Recently played JA3 and SR:HK, and I think it's fun to blogpost plays so I might do that. Also, more people should blogpost their plays, it's more fun to look at than endless cuckposting.

Just another quest that the player has to complete. They never make any effort to please your character or do something nice for him just for no reason.The only exception is, hilariously, Yrliet coming to visit you because she can smell that you are stressed.

>>545937080Visas and FFG are what makes Avellone's romance statements so egregious. The most cerebral romance's in vidya came from his hand.
>>545936767>The only exception is, hilariously, Yrliet coming to visit you because she can smell that you are stressed.Wrong. Zevran, Heinrix, Daeran do it
>>545936767>be heretic>yrliet enters my mindscape to help me destress>giant heretical artifact in the middle of the hallucination>"uh, let's table that for now"pretty funnyhope she tells that story to a keeper of secrets before she dies
I like the "force vision" effect when you switch to first person mode with Visas or KreiaOn another note, Mira was surprisingly boring
>>545937284>Avellone's romance statements so egregiousDid you mix up Avellone and Sawyer?
>>545934453
>>545937562Nah Avellone got in on that shit too. That's why Cass cucks you.
>>545937418I've never romanced any of those guys so I missed it
>>545937080Visas is Yrliet if she well writtenYou don't ever charge up Visas' loading ramp, all you do is meditate, but it's so intense
>>545937637>>545937418Maybe Zevran and Daeran are not a good example. They do it because they want to have sex. Jimmy however does do it because he's in loveI retract my previous statement about Daeran though. His minerals act was cute and endearing
>>545937837>charge up her loading rampI bet whoever came up with that innuendo was really proud of himself
>>545938074Chris Avellone I believe and yes he is proud
>>545938074as he should be. I still chuckle.

>>545939304better to ask forgiveness than permission my friend
>jingles
>>545939591seems roundabout but it's actually a skill apparently. plebbit says there's a weapon you can console command in but idk.

>>545929170Demon gets nothing until m5, then you have to play through a whole list of save debuffs and touch of law for spell pen until you longer need it. It's definitely more effort than the rest and getting nothing for the entirety of a3 is kind of boring
>>545940619Margaret Qualley as Cam

>>545939591It's an ultimate type of ability with a cd
>>545941230Her model has the spirit stone in the male position (shoulder strap) instead of the female position (centre of the chest). Her portrait has it in the correct central location, however.
>>545941473that's the new armor innit? over-under they just backported the new dudes stuff?
>>545941473maybe Yrliet is trans?
>>545941473are femcels right?
I don't like how Camellia fucked up Horgus's character. Horgus is an LG chad in the tabletop module, whereas he's a fat and blubbering LN claude in the game. She also killed Aravashnial, the conjurer companion and one of your biggest bros back on the TT, which means you're now stuck with Nenio if you want a wizard. Thanks a lot, Camellia.>>545939509Unless it's enchanted.
>>545937418well duh men do it because women want men to keep track and check on them when they're having their periods
>>545941907>kills lame characters so better ones may take their placeSounds based to me.
>Yrliet was checking if rt was having a period
>>545939591You can respec so don't worry too much. You'll probably find one of the other hyper specific special weapons later and want to respec anyway.
>>545939728Grieving Mother music?
>>545941907Aravas's role gets taken by the Storyteller and Nenio, which fucking sucks. Both are less fun than Aravash.
>>545941907Is this AI? Not sure if I should save it.

What are your opinions on Proto-Ember? I think she was very cute.
Big things in store for you, "Omnipresent authority figures". Can't announce anything officially here, but maybe I'll just leave this here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HgdeXdkdRo- S
What's the ideal approach to female armor design in a CRPG?
>>545939728Deadfire needed her
>>545943313i like this one
>>545941609Yeah I think you're right, she's wearing Larry's stuff.
>>545941907Aside from being a furry, why do people hate Nenio so much? She's one of the most powerful and useful companions you can have if you level her for Phantasm Killer/Weird spam.
As someone who worked in a materials lab and publish papers, I find her insufferable.I find her frustrating on a personal level. I teach high school physics for a living, and she's by far the worst "scientist" character in fiction I have encountered in years. She has no clue how scientific investigation works. Her experiments never have a purpose or a hypothesis. Most of her logic is deeply flawed, or at best just zany and random. And her ultimate goal of "publish a book about EVERYTHING" somehow manages to be the kind of childish thing that an elementary school kid would come up with. She's supposed to be a super genius, but nothing she ever says convinces me that she's particularly intelligent.
>>545944452>Saved Kenabres >became commander of the 5th crusade>retook Drezen>become a weirdness magnet>turned into a fucking mythic creature>become a living legend>beat up multiple demon lords and potentially an archdevil>may ascend to godhood by the end>still can't remember the KC's name because he's so unimportant How the fuck does that make any sense? Some scholar she turned out to be.
>>545944452She’s a quirky smug redditor.
>>545945042>Most of her logic is deeply flawed, or at best just zany and randomPretty accurate for a medieval "natural philosopher" which is what she is
>>5459450421. trying too hard, that's cringe in 2025 bruh fr no cap2. you're completely right, but if you plod through the shit quest you find out she's not really that3. that isn't really an excuse, it's truly a terrible character. Respec Woljif as Shadowcaster for full caster party member.
>>545944452>fluffy tail, but no litternuff said
>"hurr durr its SUPPOSED to be bad ok!!!!This absolutely never works.It's shit with a shit character who's "supposed to be" shit.It's shit with shit environments that are "supposed to be shit" (abyss, shadow garbage in LoN)It's shit everywhere. Making me deal with "shit" because it's "supposed to be shit" is still actually making me spend my time with shit.Devs: Knock it off, ya dingdongs.
>>545944452Too irony poisoned to enjoy joke charactersBaldur’s Gate is reddit now
>>545944452BAZINGOOintolerable. Worse by far than anything Beamdog introduced. Though I bet there are those here who apologize for or even enjoy this retard and are buttmad about Dorn or something. Or Neera, who is less snowflake than fucking Aerie, and less "reddit" than Minsc or Jan.
>>545932459I personally loved it and enjoyed it more than PS:T. I'm planning on doing another run after the game I'm currently going through.
>>545902513Demon turns Drezen into a shit hole when you come back from the Abyss and all your cronies that you recruited in Act 4 show up and squat in your baseWish there were an option to Bed Vellexia and Aru

Who should I send here?i'm kind of already bffs with Irabeth, and I would hate to feed her to bugsNurah had good reasons but i got a perception check success that she was holding back while talking about religionsWhat is azata choice here? Regill would be obvious, but it would allow hellknights to aura farm and dab over rest of crusade.Sosiel on the other hands thinks he can bring people back alive which sounds good. I don't need him either for bug caverns since inciter Seelah can cast unbreakable heart pretty well.
>>545946323The difference is that the humor in BG and other well written RPGs never demolished the tone like the humor in Pathfinder. The humor felt like a natural part of the settings and scenarios. The humor in PF usually takes you out of the setting, it's "unimmersive."
>>545946309Nenio is shame because her human form is qt. Once you go through humiliation ritual at nameless ruins she turns into fury permanently and reverts back every time you rest when she's no in party with no real way to make her turn back without bringing her everywhere
Idira just summoned a Screamer of Tzeentch on my first mission to Eurac V. When can I execute her?

>>545946985Sosiel + "stand and fight" is probably the best if you've done his companion quest right (the cemetery). It gives you the opportunity to make one stop without losing anyone (typically, I rescue the gnome as the items aside from the monk robes aren't that good).
>>545906235El Monje Guerdo and Careca*He's balding. A balding rock dude.>>545906891IIRC, during the Swarm epilogue, Numeria literally nukes the hell out of the Worldwound and then send their alien war machines against you
>>545945042Yes, and the game agrees with you on everything you said.Congrats on figuring it out, I guess

what's the lore of nenio again
>>545947507You failed the test.She summoned the demon so you could kill it - real imperium loyalitst relish the opportunity to fight chaos where-ever it manifests, and Idira gives you more opportunities than anyone else
>>545947854>play the heavenly fairy path>you’re a fairyWTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
>>545909591The issue with Cammie is that it really isn't a romance, and she literally dumps you if you go full evil, or full good, you need to put up to her antics and tell her to calm the fuck off to get a mostly okay-ish ending where she doesn't end whoring herself out for crime bosses and killing them, for a rp perspective, it seems completely retarded to go through all that.The peak option would be to make DEMON ARU A PROPER COMPANION! Fuck, man, we were robbed out of peak. The final voicelines from her during Threshold are simply divine
>>545947541>Gorum chads keep winning:^)

>>545922208Yes
>>545948369She has no voiced lines in Dance of Masks, she has no voiced lines during the camp, she barely talks during game.She's basically alive Staunton. A glorified merc

Daily reminder that JA3 is a pretty good CRPGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfVe_zHqlFA
Willy wonka was an azata
Bartleby the Scrivener was Aeon
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov was a retard demon
Kalyna Sokolova is beautiful-good and beautiful.
To be fair how was he supposed to know what an "azata" was. Like how going Trickster turns you into a top hat guy
>>545947658So what the hell was up with this guy anyways?
dvach, we're not so different you and I
its amazing that owlcat had so much to learn about romance from bg3 but learned none of those lessons.
>>545953391He shows up later in act v I think

>>545955921? arpg has already been saved by The Veilguard
>>545949752Have the devs talked about their next project? JA3 felt really good, like a prime AA tactics game. Not sure I'd kill it a CRPG, seemed kinda light on the RPG elements but I'm not gonna worry about semantics that game was fun
>>545930717i dunno man. every time I stab her she bleeds. it's starting to get performative at this point
>>545955921>Saudi MERolando will be a squadmate.
Since the people who have written most of the pillars lore are gone Obsidian should just make a new game in a new setting. Or since Microsoft owns Arcanum just make Arcanum 2.

>>545957045You're on a death timer, and you don't know if you'll live another week. You meet someone attractive, possibly after having spent decades deprived of any affection or romance, and they're in the same shit situation as you, so you bond over that immediately. It makes sense, kind of.

So Chromatic and Metallic dragons of old are all gone, a few got replaced and a few elements are still missing. There is some kino tho, like the Mirage or the Diabolic dragons, then we have this fucker:https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/its-all-a-conspiracy.917094/> these dragons make use of magical disguises. They conjure forth flesh-suit replicas of others and, through the help of magic, squeeze themselves into these suits. This bone-crunching and flesh rending process results in perfect disguises that allow a conspirator dragon to live among populations none the wiser to the dragon's machinations.

>>545927756>>545927459TT Drezen was occupied for much longer, Staunton wasn't part of the conscript legion, he was the head commander of the Drezen Occupation, and he's been bumming there for decades with his Glabrezu baddie.Retaking it require a nasty two-pronged attack with your party and a small group of pallies going from the underground while the Queen and the whole crusade goes for a head-on strike. Been ages since I played it, but it was a nasty set piece, way quicker than the in-game version, which is wack, since TT combats takes too much timeOne anon said that the devs got TPK'ed during Wendu mini-boss, makes me wonder if they never touched the AP proper and just skimmed through the themes and built the game around it, that might explain why the game changed a lot
>>545960436>gave himself perky titswhat a fucking pervert
>>545945332Anon she's A robot built by the demon lord of riddles and puzzles, she's retard by design and forced to kept only relevant info, but she's broken and thus, sucks at it , she's still lame most of the time though, but I got a chuckle or two from her interactions with Daeran and Regill
>>545960561Technicality i gave him perky tits, well my wife did. When the game prompted me to make my Dream Visitor I told her to make a character of her liking and she processed to make some basic bitch tiefling. Never let her touched another one of my character creation since

>>545964165elf on a shelf looking bitch
>>545958680He's not awful. In spite of all his weird multiclasses he still has a high BAB, he's specced into using Falchions which are pretty decent weapons because they're 2-handers with an 18-20 crit range, and he has all the Cleave feats. He also gets to keep smite Chaos, although his CHA is godawful, but you can still squeeze a few extra points of attack bonus, he also gets barbarian rage. Just enlarge him, give him Outflank, improved critical falchion and let him go to town.
>>545964165As if you creeps need a reason to hurt women.
>>545961870It's Ember, apparently the cover artist wasn't completely aware of what Ember is supposed to look like so he just draw a generic blonde elf wizardess without the rags or burned limbs.

>>545965869>red haired, green-eyed wood elf wifeShe won't sleep with you, Y*lietard
>>545966008Technically, Mom is the final boss for most routes, and she's slightly better than Lantern King. Deskari is very lame.
>>545961870Lots of the character concepts weren't finished when that was drawn. Lann doesn't have a bow either.

>>545920497neat! thanks anon.
How much longer until Obsidian makes Arcanum 2? I want to be a gun wizard with the perk that makes everything crit or miss.
>>545969126Best we can do is Paradox acquires the rights and between releasing fantasy ww2 dlc nonsense goes through 5 developers and 10 years before handing it off to a studio that makes interactive movies.
Did outerworlds make money or flop? Obsidian might be goijg down the bioware route.
>>545969578what do you mean "go down"obsidian is as shit as bioware
>>545969553>Paradox acquires the rightsMicrosoft rarely ever sells the rights to anything so dont worry about that.
>>545969001So it is just ye olde AC?
>>545969678As in it goes bankrupt and either gets disbanded or sold off.
>>545969835The 3e equivalent is BAB. Smaller is good because the number you need to beat is the THAC0 (after it is modified by AC), whereas with BAB the number you need to beat is the target AC.
>>545969835Nyo, Armor classes exist. THAC0 is a value you have, you need to roll above, and then the armor class of the target subtracts it.
>n7 day announcement showed off nothing>informants say everyone in bioware is just waiting for THAT meeting while killing time and polishing resumes
>>545970801i hope it's just fucking over. i can't take another Andromeda or Veilguard. especially not if ME5 is going to do the Veilguard meme where it parades out old beloved characters as barely recognizable husks of their former selves.
>combat in wotr feels bad>get crit with heavy flail>6 gore fx play at once>head is missingOkay sometimes its alrightIt was a nice cronch and honestly what more do you need
>>545970801Dude, who cares. Mass Effect 2 was 20 years ago. Let it go.
>>545967503I'm looking forward to playing this, are you having a fun time?
>>545969990>>545970196I guess i will just wing it and see where shit goes. Can you learn every spell there is under the sun as a wizard? Is there lot of spell/ utilities atleast?
>>545968708>what the fuck is THACO?Literally don't worry about it. Equip better weapon: look what it is. Equip worse weapon: look what it is. Wow now yes you want to equip the better weapon.
>>545943313I'd like to see a bitch put on armour like this. Probably takes her 2 days
>>545945332Le heckin quirky!
>>545971117A shitty thing is that you'll have an upper limit that you don't really notice, for spells at some level. So like if you're a shitty wizard, and have a bunch of 2nd level scrolls already in your spellbook, it might show that some new 2nd level scroll is not learnable but that might just be because your int isn't high enough.This will almost never impact you, but if you think it might impact you (like you have memorized a bunch of spells for some spell level) chug a Genius potion and also in the settings turn off that gay retarded thing where you can fail to scribe a scroll into your spellbook.
>>545947854>plays a tranny reddit path>WTF WHY IS IT REDDIT REEEEEEEE
>>545955041Moeblob with I luv u big time personality, if you can call it that
>>545965179All manipulating cunts get the noose
>>545971532>utilitiesalso no, 25 year old game, please understand.Yes it's pathetic but what's more pathetic is that 25 years later, almost no games also have this to any meaningful extent.
>>545971117There's multiple D&D game that don't even display it, you really don't need to worry about it other than lower is good. Same with armor class.If your intelligence is high enough, yes. And yes, magic is very powerful. Play around with them, but in my opinion, the best spells to pick up asap for each level are sleep (1), invisibility (2), haste (3).
>>545968708To Hit Armor Class 0Whatever the enemy's armor class is, you add to your rollIf the outcome is above your THAC0, you hit.
>>545971858there are some checks in the Pillars1 DLC in the book-cyoa parts which look at which spells you have on hand and can use them, at a few points.I'm actually not sure if any other crpg has done the minimal effort of bothering with this important thing.Shameful.
>>545932312>takes you to his graveWhy does he have a grave? Who buried him and why? There was no body.
>>545972127I can already hear the wailing cries of the devs about this: "but what if players don't see this, abloobloobloo"Crying to the heavens: "But our bottom line...!"Absolutely fucking shameful.
>>545971012>he didn't enjoy Mass Effect 3 and Inquisitiondamn. that must suck. BioWare only fell off to me a decade ago.
>>545972218I think his relatives built one when he was "taken" by that vampire lord? Been ages since I touched Bucketo Gato 3
Some enemy designs in WoTR are hilarious. I just ran into an enemy called Playful Darkness with motherfucking 80 AC on hard. Using Corrupted Magic was satisfying to pull it down to 50, but what if I wasn't a lich? Do other mythic paths have useful tools to deal with shit like this?
>>545972308I think it's tied more to the sunk-cost issue. If you give someone the mind reading spell, you need to make it useful to a bunch of situations to not make it suck, same with other similar spells and whatnot.>>545971858Baldurs Gate 3 have those, you can use Mind Read, Talk with Animals, Talk with the Undead and whatnot
>>545973465If you haven't noticed by now, there are some optional difficult bosses, you can tell by the music change. This was one of them, and arguably the most difficult of them in the entire game (the first, water elemental in shield maze, is reasonably argued as the hardest due to your low level on the encounter)
>>545973465>Demon commander in charge of the invading demon army that reigned over the realm for thousand of years>39 AC>Random demon loitering around the rooftop back in the country>80 AC
>>545973465>80 ACToo low, this fucker has 109 AC at Hard and this much HP. And he's a random fodder in the final dungeon, there is rooms with 3 of them. And all of them cast 2-3 spells per turnOther mythics have other bullshit stuff to pull. Tricksters can stack Hit bonuses to hell and have a ungodly crit range. Aeon with a good dispel team can remove all his buffs and make it eat shit, Martial Angel with proper buffs can duke with it, an Alchemist can shove a bazillion mutagens and whatnot.Playful is a build check exercise, he's not mandatory though and is basically the equivalent of a super boss, but I found the enemies at the final dungeon and the DLC6 arena bosses more annoying to deal with
>>545973618There's frost res and prot potions prior to him, which I don't remember being there in earlier versions of the game. I haven't had to reset to him on hard on any recent run.Playful Darkness you beat with magic. He has high saving throws, but it is pretty easy to get insane DCs and debuff his saves. Extremely hard if you don't come back after gaining levels in the next act, though.
>>545973618There is music changes? I didn't notice it.>Hardest bossI still think the Lantern King fight or the Vampire Lord + Werewolves fight at the DLC arena are worst, mostly due to them having a bunch of goons you can't kill til you kill the boss, and the boss is a tank mf that can disable your whole team
>>545973618I survived the fight but only because I could bring his AC down so my martials could somewhat hit him while blocking him from my exsanguinate spamming lich. If I didn't have corrupted magic and a spell that bypasses spell resistance and requires no roll, idk if I could've beat him.>>545973829I think Darrazand had 60 AC. Corrupted magic brought it down to the 30s and he died pretty quickly compared to playful darkness>>545973915>109 ACThank you owlcat
>>545973429>guy disappears>let's make an empty grave for himMentall illness. Not to mention that the nautiloid attack on the city took place during the day when he should have been sleeping in the mansion's dungeons, so he couldn't have been snatched at all. I don't think lariantrannies gave any thought to the game's plot at all
>>545973564>Mind Read, Talk with Animals, prepare talk with dead or have the itemJust drink the potions and viola, you have that branch open to you until next rest. Good on them for including it, but it didn't blow my mind much as far as utility goes.It's more than nothing and I'll gladly give them that. The dude in the burning building, even the flavor of the dead folks down below (especially the retard gobbo).It's almost always stuff that you can otherwise find out in other ways, and ultimately has no real consequence other than a bit of reward maybe.I'd like to see a whole branch opened up from talk to dead/animals/mind read that cannot be accessed otherwise. And I'm just using those as the examples we're talking about, but more generally lots more branching that (gasp) most players might not see, at least on their first run.
>>545973465>Do other mythic paths have useful tools to deal with shit like this?Yes, it's called having a dedicated dispeller
>>545974176If you hover over the space of the optional bosses you should hear a change in the music to something ominous
Why doesn't Ulfar, the biggest dolly, simply not eat the other 10?
>>545973829Balors are supposed to wield vorpal weapons. Owlcat did Kumz dirty
>>545968708for me, its the nonstop rerolling of the attributes
>>545968708>>Class is fucking tied to raceSOVL. Go play pozzfinder if you want sloppa
>>545974272Anon, Astarion was a vampire boypussy slave for years, check his origin bio in the character creation
>>545974756He's actually small inside his suit
>>545974895You mean TroonNTroon? Cause they were the ones who made all classes universal and everyone followed suit
>>545974371Too much effort for such an esoteric way of solving it anon, while it would be fun, it wouldn't be feasible to make outcomes for all spells and tricks the player might combine and use there, unless they limit the spells so everything can be accounted for and make the overall base gameplay worse due to it. Larian approach feels the closest we can get, but still could get some improvement here and there. Still, it's nice how they integrated so many things in the set pieces, the fact that you have many tools to deal with an encounter is nice. People shit on Larian, but they being doing great since DOS1
>>545974979That has nothing to do with what I said
>>545966546that guy was a druid that spent the entire chapter hiding from those jobbers
Gonna make a few mercs, need an idea for a magic userAll thats required is that theyre a mage of some sort, what do?
Anyone else realize all too late that you should have chose a different class or something?I do that almost every time I play any RPG. It's one reason I like Skyrim so much.Anyway, Next time I play Baldur's Gate 1, I'll be running a dual class Ranger/Sorcerer.Anything I should know about this first?
>>545976434This right here is the sole reason why I have 30 hours in wotr yet ive only properly finished the tutorial onceThis is also why in every souls game I go with the wretch/deprived so that if I find something cool I can just respec into it without feeling like a shitterBuild paralysis sucks and it only gets worse the more choice you have
>>545976593Even in the times I just go "Fuck it, this is what I'm doing, and I've just got to deal with it." I still end up regretting it.Thing is, if I realize after hour 15 of 100, then it should naturally be worth it to just reset to hour 0. But then actually trying that, nothing would ever get done.Ironically, I actually did reset my first BG1 playthrough from a Sorcerer to a Mage when I found out you can't easily switch and learn spells.
>>545974756He tries with Marazhai
>>545977030In wotrs case, for me I do the tutorial cave and most of the time dont even make it to the boss before starting something elseI've spent more time googling shit than playing the game, more or less to avoid your situationI guess its best to just have a vision of what you want to do and look at the wiki or whatever to see which class matches it the mostI initially wanted to do claws and make fiendflesh shifter viable, but hagriven bloodrager did the thing I wanted but better, meanwhile mutation warrior gets the fantasy of what I initially wanted more or less right, that being a dude who grows claws and rips people to piecesMeanwhile something like magus gets whats essentialy the crit samurai build shitArchetypes are fucking weird
I'm not really a CRPG or tabletop player. I've played and enjoyed a few, like Underrail, but not many.I went to give Rogue Trader a try and was completely aghast at the complexity. It seems like to make a proper character I would need to study this shit for dozens of hours. Then it hit me: I wonder, is this just like an arms race where these kinds of RPGs feel the need to get more and more complex to match an improving playerbase? While I'm looking at all this shit balking, someone who has played a lot of these would probably be scanning for key combos like AP reduction to maximize action economy or whatever. It's like if I want to have fun (airquotes) with these games I should have been playing them my whole life.How does this sound to you experts? I could probably play normally and never get walled, or maybe just lower the difficulty if I do get walled, but it's less that which sticks out to me and more the incredible complexity of merely making and playing a character at all.
>>545977573Your first is hard then after a while you realise there are patterns of you are autistic enough at least. Once you have them down it's all rather doable. But yeah you'll need to sweat out your first. There's a story mode on Rogue Trader for a reason.
>>545977573Just wing it and look up shit when you are stuck anon. Not everything has to be min maxing pristine perfect on your first try
>>545977573Nah you just read the skills/talents as they come and you get the feel for it. If it doesn't seem to be working you can respec at any time.>Talent "SMELL OF VICTORY" adds one stack of "SHITFART" for ever enemy in line of sight>Talent "UNYIELDING RESOLVE" increases your MEDICAE skill by the number of stacks of SHITFART you currently have>Talent "SURGICAL PRECISION" causes your melee damage to be cauclated by your MEDICAE skill instead of STRENGTHYou can see how they all work together
Baldur anon here. Decided to go with a basic two handed ungabunga Paladin (i would do Dwarf apparently only human can go Paladin for some fucking reason) and i lowered my int all the way to 3. You can roll your stats multiple times? I got a 86 and thought good enough.
>>545978291>basic ungabunga>paladinpick one.Paladins are all about the roleplay, and you're doing it wrong by just making it a basic "hits things, head empty" class.
Why pick a magic hybrid class for unga?Seems kinda dumb, then again you have 3 int
>>545978291In owlcat games the MC is always the white knight.
>>545978613>>545978975We will burn that bridge when we get to it. For now i am NotGut, a black haired orphan who was born with the legendary stat of 18 STR and all the girls like me because i have 18 STR but also because i am very nice and have a huge dick but i am ruthless to my enemies They fucking restricted my alignment to Lawful good, here is hoping i don't get good boy dialogues only
>>545978975Also i just really like being a knight in heavy armor and you can Lay your hand on girls all you want if you tell them you be just trying to heal em, nowhatimsaying?
>>545977573There's a lot of reading but it's a lot simpler than it seems. You basically just want to pick a playstyle and stack bonuses to make that playstyle work.
Assuming I can merge my sorcerer spellbook with either of them, Azata or Angel?
>>545981757Angel. Azata's spells cap out at 7. The spells you do get from Azata are underwhelming as well. Angel also has around 50% more content than Azata and ties into the story and themes of WotR far better. Really, the only fully fleshed out paths are Angel, Demon, and Lich.
who else is high af right now? playing outerworlds 2 for a bit was fun but im back to rogue trader now.
>>545979089Again, why play a Paladin if your whole roleplay goes against it?The class you're looking for is Barbarian.
Barbarians are just paladins but alpha.
>>545981757I'm pretty sure only divine casters can merge spellbooks with AngelI might be wrong though
>>545982637From his description he's clearly a Fighter.
>>545981757No. The only valid spellbook combinations are:>Angel: Cleric, Oracle, Druid, Shaman>Lich: Wizard, Sorcerer, Arcanist, Witch
Barbarians are just fighters who can't read
Mages are just fighters with bigger dicks.
Reading is gay, Barbarians are right about that. Reading is cuckery you are letting someone else's ideas enter and influence your thoughts.
Reading is pretty spoopy when you think about it Some fag projects his twisted thoughts into your mind through your eyes
>>545982637Why not? The right to be a retard belongs to all race and classes. I say to you today, my friends that I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of this creed "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."I have a dream that my character will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the title of their class but by the content of their characterTo be an unga bunga retard
>>545984227>claim to barbarian but many word>curious

Is larian currently the best AAA rpg studio?
>>545985701They announced they were making one 2 years ago
>>545984336>>545984227dickbutt
>>545985864Larian is AA
>>545984541that is inherently chaotic
>>545986617Ahhh my brain
>>545985864yes
>>545982864Only divine for angel, only arcane for lich, have to be prepared caster for both.>>545983942Which means sorcerer, arcanist, oracle, etc can't merge.They used to be able to during release but they patched that out.
>>545985495>pic with 3 games>somehow none of them are crpgs
Is there any class or archetybe that adds STR to AC? What about STR to saving throws?
>>545947761>trying to nuke ze bugswhen will they learn
>>545988264Assuming you're talking about wotr mythic heavy armor focus does
>>545988452Really? I thought it just adds ac equal to your mythic level or some shit when wearing heavy armor.
>>545988493There's three different ones. One adds half your str to your ac, one adds your armor ac to your damage, and one adds DR or something.
I finally got dragonkin so I can turn pets into dragons and they're super tiny... im not even mad.
>>545988264>Is there any class or archetybe that adds STR to AC? I think STR to DR makes more sense desu. I'm surprised how so few RPGs make STR contribute to your general durability.
>>545989268Yeah it's usually the "hit harder and carry more stuff" stat.Poe replaced strength with might which is a vague damage attribute that effects both physics and magical damage. Also healing.
>>545985495>starfieldPajeets cannot be subtle
>>545977573Keep it simple and go for passive addons that increase your damage and numbers of associated playstyle
>>545988035>>545982864Just pick a mod
>>545981921You are playing LEXOOO, anon? It's badly review af, why did that happen?
>>545969869They already sold themself years ago anon.
Is it just me, or is the Wrath of the Righteous spell really inconsistent?Sometimes it works, but then other times it just does nothing. First I thought it didn't work on mythic demons, but more often than not it actually seems to more consistently damage them insteadAm I missing something here? I know it isn't supposed to work on humanoids, but does it require that the demon's stats include some specific "demon" tag or something?
>>545988035>have to be prepared caster for both>Which means sorcerer, arcanist, oracle, etc can't merge.>They used to be able to during release but they patched that out.Are you sure about that?I moved on to RT a while ago but my understanding of that patch was that spontaneous casters can still merge spellbooks, they just changed the way it impacts your 'spells known'. Essentially, you gain new spell slots based on your merged caster level but spells known based on your unmerged level. Since you automatically know all the mythic spells, this means your highest level spell slots can only be used on mythic spells or metamagic-ed lower level spells until your class level catches up.
>>545991862Some enemies just outright have immunity to some spells like Magic Missiles, Ray based attacks, Elemental based attack or Phantasmal / WeirdRotate your spells around
>>545991868>>545988035You still merge for caster level purposes, there is just a change for spells known per level/rank
>>545992139DamnThankfully got other damaging spells as wellThanks mate
>>545991469>It's badly review af, why did that happen?NTA, but it's because it lacks an overarching theme and the new character is weak. It's several more or less unrelated segments patched together>ship boarding>visit to the law courts>medieval planet>shipping container planet>return to the courts, with a twistThey're all fun little segments on their own but they're very short and don't add up to much. The most notable aspect is the addition of pets, which was pretty well done.I don't think it deserves bad reviews, but it's not as substantial as Void Shadows.
>>545993003They really hit it out of the park with Void Shadows. Anything was going to look bad in comparison, never mind a zesty nigger.
>>545993453I wish he was zestier. He's so dry.
>>545991469I saw flirt options with a guy and got scared :(
>>545993003imo the thing that made that DLC so forgettable was that there wasn't really any overarching story going on. It started pretty good, with you boarding a ship, visting the Arbites, and then going to a planet to help them out, but by Act 4, the DLC had lost any cohesion.All the stuff in Act 2 was great and felt like it was connected in a similar way to Void Shadows, but they honestly could have just pushed the feudal world to Act 4 while getting rid of the whole plotline with the Administratum clerk and the shipping container planet. Those parts felt unrelated to everything else, and the whole "twist" at the end was shite. There should have been more Arbites stuff like going to planets to collect taxes or acting like police, but Owlcat for some reason decided that the second part of the whole DLC had to revolve around some old ass Administratum clerk instead
my idea for a new companion? dogmachud who loves the emprah
>>545994230Don't forget that he somehow outranks you, a rogue trader, and you have to put up with him giving you the stinkeye
Sorry but there’s a space marine fan with a bomb in owlcat’s lobby they can’t risk making an actual rogue trader game
Crpg where you experience life as a black woman
>>545994718There is another Titus miniature it should keep them busy enough for Owlcat to add hot Eldar sex. Only Eldar male on human female though.
>>545995396how will I listen and learn if I'm the one talking?
>>545995396Your spell slots equip EBT cards and Medicaid vouchers or however you burgers keep them alive.
>>545995513She speaks to the player
>>545995396>Black women make up 17.7 percent of public-sector workersBureaucracy Simulator 3000?
>>545995519>>>/pol/
no, it's funny to imagine as a game mechanic
>>545991469same reason nobody would buy Wyll if he was a Baldur's Gate 3 DLC companion.
Jesus Christ Dragon Age Origins is even better than i remembered. Morrigan and Alistair is giving me everything i wanted from having Gale and Minthara in the same party. it's just a shame Alistair is stuck with the default mid 00s white fuck boy haircut. studios don't write companions like this anymore, man.
>>545995396forespoken is close enough
>Oooh, you wanted to save Lann? Well too bad, I know I told you that his mom's quest was finished, but actually that was a lie. There was more stuff. We just didn't show it anywhere and counted it as finished in your ledger to trick you, tee-hee. Please play the entire game again to not have him die.Anybody know how to save edit to complete the thing so Lann doesn't die like a retard to savamalekh in act 5
>>545996754Wyll is a lameduck cuck who obeys his demon mommy. He would suck even if he was white
>>545998047Just open toybox and check the flags
So I skipped most of dark eldar lore by dogma chudding act 3 in RT.What was Marazhai trying to do by capturing you, why was he exiled and what was Nocturne doing?
>>545997863Yeah, their synergy is amazing. Honestly, the synergy with the DAO cast is pretty good, people shit on Bioware for ruining the formula, but they got the companion bants right from DAO to ME3. No games came close to it.>00s whiteboy haircutI think it's kinda nice, way better and more "jock"-like than whatever the zoomies are doing nowadays
>>545998051in hindsight i guess Wyll is also different because he's the only brown person in the party other than Karlach, whereas Rogue Trader puts like 3 brown people on your ship by the time you leave the first post-tutorial location and then also wanted to sell you a 4th brown person.
>>545998635Idira and who else tho?
>>545998819Jae's brown, and isn't one of the Rogue Trader's advisors also brown?
>>545998289Okay, but where? I checked the quest stuff and it's not on the last resort quest, definitely. Where do I find the flag?
>>545998635Karlach doesn't really feel "black" desu, just like how Wyll lean more into the "swashbuckler arab hero" archetype. For the many problems BG party has, DEI faggotry among the party members is the lesser issue (Besides the weird things going with Halsin and Sharty). They all just player sexual to a extreme
>>545998934Jae's in an optional area in act 2 though which is well after the tutorial attack
>>545998819Jae.I don't know who the third is he's thinking of though.And to be fair I missed jae on my first playthrough and let argenta execute idira.
>>545999019Because she's not black.She's a red skinned tiefling. Calling her black is like calling red twileks black.
>>545999057>>545998934>>545998819>I don't know who the third is he's thinking of though.I assume he's talking about the Master of Arms chick with a fetish for scars and beating poors to death.
>>545998947It's not THAT quest, it needs flags from his CH 3 quest tooCheck if>LannLovesMongrels>LannLovesMamaFlags are on. He also survives if you don't let him be a tard and fight the demon by himself
>>545999206Oh sauerkraut.She's so minor a character I don't even register her.
>lorewho gives a shit about fake made up stories that will be retconned by next game 'cause some new tranny writer wanted things to conform to xer's headcannon
>>545919814Yes, Lord-Captain!
>>545999353The issue is that I can't find those flags, anon.
>>545999942Why let him go alone though? Just go with him and he'll live.
>>545999019well yeah she isn't black but she's SEA which is basically brown asians.
Do I lose anything for replacing Seelah with a merc so I dont have to listen to GLORY WITHOUT RISK?
With all the complaining I see in these threads regarding companions its a wonder why merc based games like IWD aren't more popular here.
>>546000682You miss out on a shitty questline and a paladin who talks about being able to sense evil but never actually has it work meaningfully in any conversationIdira would have been a better bullshit detector
>>546000682Nyo.Bring your John Pathfinder from Kingmaker and have fun anon. He will probably be a better pally
Demon is uniquely terrible. They didn't even try with it.
>>546000821I don't even blame Seelah here, it's just that Owlcat still sucked at companion reactivity.They still suck at RT, but less>>546000779Because they feel...empty. Same reason almost no one outside of dedicated patricians talk about Solasta. Companions are an integral part of crpgs since they are supposed to be the what your friends were in your TTRPG campaigns. But it sucks even more when the companions are lame AND they feel lacking.
Not even gonna make him a palaGendarme dark knight
>>546000872Wdym anon? Freedom Demon is a neat power trip, it's basically the epithome of edgykino. You have the best Act 4 alongside Angel too
>>546000381It's pretty clear you need to let him go to get a non "bad" ending. I'd just rather find a way to activate the flag. The issue is I can't find it.
Seelah is just a particularly poor choice since her positive black lady shtick just comes off as one of those praise jesus songs, which since a particular expansion of a certain mmo I now have a distaste for
>>546001191Every option is just "roar you can't control me" and the npcs being like "we can't but heres the quest".
>>546001218Check one of the options in Toybox, I think it was the one called "Quests/Mission?" then search the flag names with the browsing bar>>546001264Which MMO anon? Worlo?>>546001296Are you talking about CH 3 quest in Alushin? Yeah, those are quite ass, but it feels more like a test made by Notty so it's understandable.Later demon options are kinda fun, specially dealing with certain smarmy enemies later You can literally punch Areelu and the wound into non-existence

>>545998436Marazhai knew someone was feeding information about his raids to mon-keighs because you are always there to fuck up his shit. This is bad for him as he is preparing a coup against his sister. He half concludes half doesn't care if it's you but he grabs you to testify under the influence of a mind worm so you can tell a bunch of other Drukharis that yes you are collaborating with Yremeryss against her own Kabal. On the side, he knows that his sister is planning to overthrown the rule of the Kabal of the Black Heart - he doesn't know how but he knows what she wants to do. Nazrakhei (one of the Black Heart archons) is aware too. Naz and Marzi come to a secret agreement that there will be a sham trial and it will end with Nazrakhei booting Yremeryss, so Marazhai will be installed as Archon, loyal to the Black Heart. At the last moment, Nazrakhei went "haha fuck you both, I'll just cast you down Marazhai and I'll raze your stupid Kabal because both of you suck". Marazhai is a trueborn nepo-baby so having to go and kill people for spectators in the arena is like making Baron Trump do community service picking up litter. Humiliating and everyone loves to have a good laugh at him. Nocturne is there because the gigglegod said you were very important.
