How many of you will play the Dark Heresy Alpha and report info here?
>>549294058We already had this thread, I made it last time tch
Her romance is actually good and I'm tired of pretending it's not. She's like the inverse of Valerie where it starts off shitty but ends up heartwarming.
How do you respond without getting mad
>>549294058>What's your dream crpg?The gameplay of BG2 but with the intro of NWN2. I fucking loved the harvest festival. Fags who bitch about the heroes journey need to just play Warhammer.
>>549294691"Ok I'll get my boyfriend Alistair to warm you up for the night sista <3"
>>549294462I like it too. Though I think it's her voice work that helps a lot.
Also isn't Alistair supposed to be the "tank" companion? At least until you get the Golem? Fucker can barely handle a single enemy in every encounter. My dog does a better job at tanking.
>>549294691I like only hags

>>549295292gross
>>549295334It's so weird seeing redditors having so many complaints about this.
>>549295292I love cass but i hate the fact that just like every modern heroine she can't stfu about her ex when you finally have sex with her
>>549294058>dream crpgtyranny style game set in ASOIF universe
>>549295517Apart from her and Valerie who else does this?
>>549295852jae
>>549295852Cassia if you count in universe fictional works. So does Octavia, Nimzy, Mazarahai, Queenie,
>>549295292>"uhm chuddy, my boyfriend just blew up a few weeks ago, just wanted to bring him up on our date night! I miss him a lot!"what were they thinking?
>>549294691>dressed like a high class courtesan while being some stinky bitch living in a swampThe more you think about Morrigan the faker she becomes
>romancing anybody but kibblesNGMI
>>549295939Jae is a weird case because she actually brings up her ex-boyfriend only when it's actually relevant, which is what people criticize about Cassandra and Valerie, but on the other hand, she drops dialogue about it that could legit be taken right out of an ntr doujin about how if she so much as stands in the same room as him she might not be able to control herself and let him dominate him. So I'd say her issue is a different one.
Okay I underestimated that one Heretic ability you get. Starting around midgame most encounters throw a billion fodder enemies at you so killing all of them which is braindead easy as a psyker starts giving you signifgant boosts to all your characteristics.
>>549296450>which is what people criticize about Cassandra and Valerienobody except the most unfuckable of incels thinks this is legit criticism, don't lump "people" into this
>>549296620I have yet to meet a single fucking person who enjoys their partner talking to them about their exes.
>>549296620You aren't going to gaslight me anon. That Valerie thing is fucking weird to the point where even normal people who play the game are taken aback by it.
>>549295852jaheria
The truth is someone in owlcat has a swinging and ntr fetish. Just like they have a puzzle guy.
>>549296974now you're just gaslighting jaheria never brings up khalid during or after having sex
>>549296974Not really the same either, you knew the guy, you met them while they were together, he died like a month, if not week ago, and she's feeling guilty af about moving on so quick. Those are all actually relevant story and relationship elements, not just Jaheira trying to make your first real romantic moment all about her ex.
>>549296841>you don't make a big deal out of it? so you enjoy it when someone talks about their exes?>>549296946literally a nothingburger
>>549296260she has a NTR moment during her romance too so she's not safe from owlcat's feitsh either>>549296974her situation is just funny. husband was brutally mutilated at the start of the game but within a few weeks she's hopping on the dick of the 18 year old who is supposed to be her godson.
>>549294737>bg2>gameplay
>>549297148>>you don't make a big deal out of it?Anon, try to go on a date with a girl and once you're about to have your first kiss, instead stop to tell her about your ex. Film the reaction and then post it here.
>>549296620I know you don't talk to women anon, but when you have an intimate moment with a girl next time, bring up your last fling/ex and see how much you can kill the mood
>>549297213>but within a few weeks she's hopping on the dickthis lie is older than most posters here
Death From Above can be fucking busted having a Bladedancer hop around the map for basically free, but this shit is the worst, most faggot cringe way to adjust the ability.
>>549294249Nah, 3/4 of RT was enough for me to decide I'm good with never engaging with 40slop again.
I agree with the evaluation that it's an Owlcat/Russian fetish thing, but I don't see why you need to talk about it so much or keep engaging with romances in their games.Just smooch elsewhere. TOR/Expeditions/Tale/etc are right there.
>>549297053And they're both based AF
Romances are a mistake in every game. Remember how Pillows discussions was before they announced it for Deadfire. The moment it hit that kickstarter goal the weirdest fucking people showed up.
>>549297509It's simple anon, negative things are easier to talk about than positive things. It's why the internet is such a shithole nowadays and why people have been turning meaner and more depressed since social media was invented.
>hates mature women>loves NTR/cucking someone in owlcat games was raised by a single mother who grew up watching his mother sleep around that explains both the hatred towards MILFs and love for cuckshit
>>549297320>>549297409these real life analogies are always stupid because these characters don't exist in the real world and what's "normal" during "dating" or not isn't even remotely the samethere isn't a concept of "dating" where you judge someone based on "vibe" and first dates or any modern termit'd be like you trying to criticize the writing of Cassandra's romance line because who uses a poetry book to get laid?
>>549297213>she has a NTR momentYou mean that part during your dinner date where she starts being social and some servant gets super flustered over her and tries to flirt? She was just imitating what she thought upper society people do. Besides you can immediately sentence him to death for not knowing his place.
>>549297981holy copium
>>549297509>RussianBut Russians gave me the best fictional waifu of all time.
>>549298246what game
>>549298246Metro?
>>549298287Metro Exodus. She's the player character's tomboy sniper wife.
>>549298458wasn't this game made up ukrainians ?
weren't drow supposed to be hot?
>>549298647They are 2025 era hot.
>>549297447I still don't understand "balancing" a single player RPG. Especially in this game where there's at least a dozen ways to utterly break combat harder than spamming death from above.
I've actually had the "mentions her ex at the worst possible moment" thing happen to me irl before. One was just a girl who casually dropped her ex in conversation when we were alone as a way to let me know she was single NOW. Though back then I took it as "Oh god she's obsessed with her ex, back off, back off". It wasn't my first time meeting that kind of girl.The other case was a girl who fucking formulated this entire elaborate plan to get me to fuck her, so she got another girl to be her co-conspirator and stand there corroborating everything she said. Long story short, she invented this story where an old friend stole her ex-boyfriend and now she wanted my advice on how to get back at them both. I just said some shit way to troll them because the story made everyone out to be horrible and I just wanted to get out of that situation. Later the other girl told me the idea was that I'd respond I'd fuck her as revenge to the other guy.Why can't they just fucking say "I like you"?
>>549298597what difference is there? they were russians until the current war made it a no-no to equate them
>>549296946I just wish that you could ask her "If you didn't regret anything, then why did you go to separate ways then?"What those "circumstances" were is kind of relevant information if we are dating
>>549298597Book series is russian, game studio ukrainian
>>549297053For me it's the needlessly complicated management minigame guy.
>>549299020Anon, you and I both know saying that would have broken the romance. The slightest fucking deviation from "tell me more" during that scene is enough to break it.
>>549299020circumstances are not a code for something else, it's just something vague that means they didn't like each other enough to travel to the other side of the world if neededif anything that dialogue shows that he wasn't her dream man
>>549299087how's the author doing now btw?
>>549298897Gotta sell dlc that shills new thing. Gotta nerf old thing.
>>549298647they are but larian decided the evil drow chick mega ugly and mintharafag made her worse.
>>549298927>can't they just fucking say "I like you"?I am too autistic even if some girl said that to meit would take me a lot of time to understand what she meant by liking me it's over for me
Owlcat should just contract Josh Sawyer to handle mechanics and balance it.
>>549299229Living his life probably
>entire personal quest is dealing with her evil lesbian ex>even after you finish the quest and kill her leliana outright tells you that you'll never compare to herI'm starting to notice too much now thanks to you anons. Maybe I'm finally done with romance in these games.
>>549299229He said he's done with the Metro Universe book wise but authors are free to pitch other locations to him to write about. He's helping write the story for the next Metro game though.
dolly kissing written by the big man Josh Sawyer himself
>>549298246>>549298458Is this game a shooter or a wife simulator?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLp3UFHH1O0
>>549299646>by the big man Josh SawyerForceful pussy eating
>>549299646>And then she kissed [Main Character] and through the passion the beats of the emancipation proclamation entered your mind.>That on the first day of January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free...
>>549297879>moving the goalpostas other anons said, try doing this irl of bringing up ex bf/gf and see how the other person responds when you are about to fuck or make out. That's what gets laughed at anon
Ironically the most of "whorish" characters actually never bring up any of their exIsabella, jack ,triss/yen don't bring up their ex ever especially during sex
>>549299870you're the one moving the goal posts?do you think the scene is written as if Valerie is some drunk chick at a bar you're trying to pick up?
The weekends bring waifutards and cuckschizos good to know
>>549299924>IsabellaShe pumps and dumps
>>549297879>it'd be like you trying to criticize the writing of Cassandra's romance line because who uses a poetry book to get laid?Back in the middle ages, every fucking trobadour noble. That's what courtly love was about (that and copious amounts of adultery).
>>549299792Mormons dont believe in that.
>>549299924>IsabellaLiteral giga slut who has STDs. Also she does more than mention an ex, she outright tries to fuck Zevran even if you're in a relationship with her in DA2. You have to literally plead her to not cuck you.>JackShe mentions a couple she was involved with but it wasn't during a major romance scene and was more or less explaining why she has trust issues so I'll give it a pass>triss/yenAll sorceresses are canonically massive sluts. Yen literally cucks Geralt in the books so hard he almost commits suicide.
>>549299229He betrayed his homeland, escaped, took the side of the enemy. He was convicted for anti-Russia criminal charges and his Russian property confiscated.
>>549300185that's my point.the others bringing up modern "dating" slang like or "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" or "exes" or "make out" are completely off the mark and think these characters living in medieval fantasy are modern people with a phone number and and socials
>>549295015Alistair becomes good only after mid game use the dog and sten for now I prefer sten but his 2 H style is ass early game
>>549300437...ok but by that logic, mentioning your ex is even fucking worse. If people take you suddenly making an intimate moment about your ex badly now, imagine during the middle ages as a noble woman.
>>549300291This character voice carried him so hard. If it wasn't for that voice everyone would write him off as an annoying retard like that "BEAR AND BULL" guy that Avellone wrote.
>>549300583Val and Cassandra aren't noble women? they're not virgins either, and that's what bothers incels
>>549300437Medieval people never had an ex or made out?
>>549300769You're really just stuck on this and won't move out of it no matter what, are you?
>>549300405Isabelle also sleeps with the elf mage if you're not romancing herI remember bioware fangirls loosing their minds over this
>he wants medieval fantasy to be realistic
For me it's Vette
>>549300405Jack also mentions that one guy who actually tried for her and his loss fucked her up and is a big part of what made her worried about getting too close to others.>>549300869What, really? I don't think I've ever seen dialogue of her implying she bedded Merril.
>>549300291>joshua gram=joshua sawyerHow did he get away with just puting his mormansona in a game?
>>549300869>This post is the one that just reminded me of the existence of Fenris.Wierd how for a character that yelled "edgy donut steel special snowflake" so much, he was so forgettable.
>>549294058MILK
>>549300869She and Fenris become fuck buddies if you aren't romanincg either however she still hits on Fenris if you are dating him. Thats why fangirls got mad.
>>549300989>MerrilPretty sure that anon meant Fenris. They become fuck buddies if you don't romance either of them.
>>549300989not merrilthe edgy elf from DA II one with the lyrium tattoos
>>549300849they weren't "exes" they were former loversuse the proper terminology and stop trying to use your stupid "but like what if in real life a girl brought up her ex before you smashed" example
>>549299984are you dense? Anons are making fun of it because its a intimate moment that gets hard cut with companion bringing up former fling, that's what gets made fun of. Nobody complains about Heinrix bringing up his ex girlfriend because he doesn't do it when RT and him are doing something romantically>>549300405>Yen literally cucks Geralt in the books so hard he almost commits suicide.Geralt did also fuck around while both of them were separated though, didn't really help that Yennefer was pleading with Geralt of him confessing his love to her and him just refusing at first
>>549301048fenris is supposed to the i can fix him type of guy that girls love but he got mogged by anders in the end
>>549301291>Nobody complains about Heinrixincels aren't usually interested in males, hope that helps
Crpgs have a major waifufag problem that's gotten significantly worse over the years.
>>549301291>Nobody complains about Heinrix bringing up his ex girlfriend because he doesn't do it when RT and him are doing something romanticallyThey are on awkward "first date" and because women don't demand for their partners to be pure touchless virgins like they are. I know if Jimmy was a woman, it would make cuckschizo talk all the time about that 1 line.
>>549301223>fair maiden brings up her former lovers right before making love with meHow is this different?
>>549301589Trve! but I can't help but to argue against them.
>>549301591You can ask Heinrix what is his type and he will tell youImagine any female romance stating her type
>>549301772Shadowheart says what her type is quite a few times during BG3.
>>549301906>Lae'zel talks about how much she thirsts for red dragonborn>my dragonborn has blue scales:(
>>549301634the difference is that it demonstrates at least a willingness to consider the context and we can have a discussion about how much of a whore Valerie isbut the moment you bring up real life and dating and exes and tinder then I know you're a full blown incel
>>549301772lmao sad but true>>549301906and what is her type. I know she likes muscle people.
>>549300942realistic dragon romance in rpgs, yes
>>549301772>Imagine any female romance stating her typeI raise you Shart constantly moaning about Bear.
>>549301535>not even responding to what I replied withbunch of anons here romance males companions when they play female characters, you would know if you actually spend time on /crpg/, probably from discord or reddit>>549301591>because women don't demand for their partners to be pure touchless virgins like they arewe are just gonna strawman our way out of this then?
>>549302082>Lae'zel talks about how much she thirsts for red dragonborn>my character is a gnomeLove conquers all :)
>>549302136>I know she likes muscle people.That, and silent and reliable people.
>>549301589only way to fix it is by RVTRNing to Fallout 2 levels of violence and edgynessin Fallout 2 you can do anything from getting date raped to raping a married woman while her children are right out her tent everything was possible in Fallout 2getting married , selling your wife , whoring your wife ,whoring yourself, sleeping with a mobb boss wife/daughter knocking up the boss/daughter , hate fucking women etc etcit had everything
>>549300869>The Elf MageFenris would behead you for calling him a Mage, anon.
>>549302209>bunch of anons here romance males companions when they play female characters,Like 1 person? Most men here only self-insert and get angry if a man dare hits on them.
>>549302439>Like 1 person? Most men here only self-insert and get angry if a man dare hits on them.you are literally just a newfag anon, why are you even here?

>>549303302>a bunchIt was one anon playing as a black female RT. Lol people were posting about the pets not Solormorne. He only ever got shat on for his dog talk.
might be a controversial takebut i can excuse a woman having a past but what i despise more is women who jumps from one man in position of power to the next infact people rarely talk about itfor example jaheria, randvi ,oddleif ,aela all of them were previously married or in love with men in postions of power and once the man gets killed they immediately jump on your cock because you're the next powerful man
>>549304662It's only a controversial take among the loudest idiots on this site.being an unlovable whore is about more than just having a previous lover or two.

I won't romance Jaheira because I was taught than when there is more than 7 years of difference between the woman and the boy, it becomes inappropriate or grooming

>>549306620true, my hobbit is way older than her, it would be inappropriate.
I won't romance Viconia because I was taught than when there is more than 200 years of difference between the woman and the boy, it becomes inappropriate or grooming
>>549306620where do you draw the line in DnD when it comes to age gaps? Is 200 year Elf dating a 100 year old gnome seen as problematic?

Why are Owlkeks so deathly afraid of balance for buggy broken shit? One shotting bosses and clearing entire encounters before they can even move isn't even fun and breaks the fantasy of 40k. You're telling me some Sister of Battle is killing a Chaos Space Marine in 1 turn? One Sister of Battle is clearing out an entire batallion of Necrons before they can even move?It's broken bullshit and needed to be gutted. If anything, it should've been nerfed even harder.
>>549308061I thought you guys said Ulfar was bad

>>549308136That was from a casual playthrough at launch. The game was so laughably broken that you had to go out of your way to NOT break it in half.

>>549311338OwlGOD thread. WaifuSOVEREIGN thread. 40KINGS thread.Feel free to leave sis.
>>549308061Eh, the game doesn't really have very much crowd control, and there also isn't really a healer class. The support class buffs ally's damage. So if nobody is casting cc spells, and nobody is healing, what you're left with is everyone doing damage or buffing damage. So you end up with a situation where time-to-kill is all that matters. I understand the deliberate gameplay design choice to not have things the developers don't consider to be "fun" like being stunned, but we see the downside of that philosophy, which is that all you're left with is damage, or an officer doing damage through the middleman of another character.I think RT would greatly benefit from another difficulty level that takes cues from bg3's honor mode. Enemies are not just inflated stat blocks, but rather actually have new spells and new items in their inventories. I would like enemies to use more of the same abilities we use, and have more unique gear just like we have. Slow combat down a tiny bit so it's not just a race to deal as much damage as possible. Sargonus having the wall in his room and the c'tan having echos of himself and other mechanics like this that you have to figure out and disable before you just blender a health bar are really good, there should be more. They have the right idea for a few of the fights.For the record, a lone SoB taking out things much much more powerful than her is not lore inaccurate. They run on faith juice, and when there's enough of it, they can perform miracles. The Emperor guiding their bullets or turning away fatal wounds is pretty standard miracles. When Argenta crits 8 times in a volley that all hit and the Word Bearer marines crumples into dust, the lore explanation for that is the Emperor heard her prayer and guided her bullets.

Idira would have made a good romance. There would have been alot of themes of tragedy, doom, fatalism and inherited love involved.
>>549312051I don't even understand why she gets made at you if you sleep with other human women she says humans are disgusting at the same time gets made at you for sleeping with other women how was this dogshit romance even greenlit?
>>549311614Sisters of Battle are just humans. There is no world where one solos a Chaos Space Marine.

Yrliet derangement syndrome still going strong
Im a very famous grand Inquisitor, not to brag, just for your information. I have killed numerous chaos marines at once, again, not bragging, just so you know. I dont care whether you believe it or not.
Nooo you can't bully my waifu!!
>>549312493That's not how 40k works anon. You should read up on the various battlefield miracles sob manifest on a regular basis, what a living saint is, and you can even look to the tabletop game codex for a gameplay mechanics list of common miracles, which include things from coming back to life to suddenly gaining armor piercing bullets to suddenly being more accurate. Every gameplay mechanic of Argenta criting a traitor astartes are well documented through 20+ years of tabletop mechanics and lore novels. SoB are not just humans, they are humans that are particularly faithful, and in 40k the strength of your faith has direct and tangible effects on the world around you, because humanity has the patronage of one of the most powerful beings to ever exist.
My psychiatrist said I was "obsessed" and need to stop screaming at yrlietards on the street. Called her out for the yrlietard she was and walked right out of there.

The corsair will not treat the femquisitor like an animal and will have an odd by setting standards, but either overal normal relationship with her or fetish fulfillment that men would absolutely not get with a female xeno.
>>549313273Can you tell me why Minthara is a canon lesbian
>>549313512quit replying to yourself
CONSPIRACY THEORY! idira wasn't romanceable because owlcat is racist.
>>549312729there's another derangement syndrome at work in this thread iykyk
>>549313720Someone post the crying vocaroo
>>549313843conspiracy theories need a believable basis otherwise they're just schizoramblingin this case I don't think anyone wants to romance idira and owlcat understood that so they didn't bother
Should I do Wardens keep as soon as I can or later?Apparently you get some storage for it which is nice early but you also lose out on the stronger armor in the game by doing it at a low level
Idira isn't romanceable because she's a lesbian
Am I a cuck if I simply accept that my canon playthroughs of Owlcat rpg's have underwhelming romances (Valerie, Galfrey, Cassia)? My character's journey is more important than which woman takes his dick.
>>549314198Then just make her a lesbian only romance?
>>549314198
>>549312051Slavniggers just not understanding the word 'platonic'

Why do any posts featuring actual discussion in these threads often have some bg3 avatarfag responding to all of them with some meaningless shitpost? I've been noticing it for weeks. Screams mental illness
>>549314251galfrey romance makes sense if you play as aeon
>>549314114You should avoid DLC content until you've cleared two of the main missions.
>>549314310CONSPIRACY THEORY! owlcat hates lesbians.

>>549314198romance fags have ruined crpgs for all time because their virgin brains are incapable of discerning between camaraderie and romantic affection
>>549314310Women, especially lesbians don't play CRPGs
i think it's funny that CRPGs which is all about role playing as powerful heroes never let you have more than one girlno matter how powerful or charismatic your character is meanwhile the MC of AA shooter like terminator resistance gets not 1 but 2 girls by the end
>>549314460I will do that then, wasted some time exploring wardens keep but I will go through it much faster the second time around I guess.

The irony is that the only way to tell which posts are the namefag's here is that they are the ones that have effort and longer discussion, so he's attacking the best posts in the thread with shitposts and then says he's not the problem.

>>549315019The ever increasing meltdowns going completely ignored makes this even funnier
>>549315512It's not even the buggy aspect of it. It just feels terribly paced for an Act 3. You go from fighting an Avatar of Myrkul to suddenly doing chores and fighting low level thugs in the city. The pacing is just completely off.
>>549315159i enjoyed it quite a bitthe water prison rescue with microscopic turn count felt more engaging than most crpg encounters
>>549315464yeah go back to your general, we're busy discussing humiliation rituals and why idira isn't romanceable
>>549315159My only major gripes are upper city being blatantly cut and them lying about it as well as no sensible follow up if you decide to hammer Gortash's face in right at the ceremony
I want 5 party members. Not 4, not 6. And I want the game to be designed for such a party size.
>>549315701The encounters were decent but it feels misplaced. The ultra open ended nature, relatively low stakes and numerous side quests makes it feel more like the Act 2 of RT or Act 3 of WOTR instead of the finale act that it's supposed to be.
>>549315657>You go from fighting an Avatar of Myrkul to suddenly doing chores and fighting low level thugs in the city. This isn't inherently a bad thing unless you define "pacing" as something that should keep growing until it reaches a crescendo. I thought it was refreshing you even had a murder mystery going on, something you couldn't bulldoze through with brute force.
>>549315204>necromancer's tale Is it good ?I mean the game not the romance stuff
>>549315934I swear to god bro the secret upper city is right there and they're just hiding it from us
>>549315934Why did they lie about it? Witcher 3 devs did it too with the downgraded graphics.
People shit on Owlcat for their final acts but Larian is infinitely worse.
Larian bad :(Owlcat good :)This is a novel topic of discussion
CONSPIRACY THEORY! Solomorne and Sosiel were romanceable and Idira and Seelah weren't because owlcat are THOSE kind of people.
pretty much every CRPG has shitty or missing third act
Is Siege of Dragonspear worth it?
>>549316694no it's poorly written and doesn't make sense as a bridge between bg1 and 2
>>549316609Underrail didn't.
>>549316561It's factual. Larian have extremely strong openers then completely shit themselves by the end.Owlcat strength is usually the middlegame.

How about we just say all current crpg devs suck and all of them are going to casualize eventually so there's no point in loving them.
>>549316991Alushinyrra is unironic gigakino and the best lategame Owlcat has ever done.Comorragh is dogshit.No one played Excess.
>>549316561you forget that we have owlcat devs posting herenaturally they'll defend their slop
owlcopers, the games are front loaded. kingmaker act 1 is the best, same with wotr, and RT you can just uninstall the game after act 1 its such a piece of shit in fact wotr is the only game they made where the mid game can almost rival act 1 solely thanks to the drezen mega dungeon
this is why studio tribalism is dumb as fuckthere are good rpgs and bad rpgs, but there aren't good studios with a perfect recordsome of the Larian stinkers are honestly embarrassing
>>549316609I know you are talking about BG3 and RT, they aren't that bad the first time desu
>>549317241I almost feel like Act 2 and 3 should've been switched. Endgames are supposed to be linear so no idea why the linear Act is in the middle.
>>549316694If you like BG1&2 then yeah it's more of that. Some interesting parts. Overall pretty linear but it's worth playing at least once. Some interesting encounters, at least moreso than most of BG1&2. Some people here let Beamdog live in their head completely free, you will be able to tell.TRIGGER WARNING: An NPC has like one line about being trans and you have to actually ask about it. This has absolutely boiled some anon's brains, so in case you're as fragile as that, consider yourself warned I guess.
>>549316694its shit
>>549317692it's poorly written with or without the token trans npc my sweet little child>Some interesting encounterswow, that sure changes everythingthat's why people remember bg1 and bg2, for the encounters
>>549317547>this is why studio tribalism is dumb as fuckLarian/Owlcat = goodyour favorite rpg studio = SHIT
>>549317652I love her!
>>549317868>that's why people remember bg1 and bg2, for the encounterspretty much yeah, bg2 ain't no planescape after all
>>549317868It's as fine or better written than much of BG1 and 2. I love the games but most of the writing is total horseshit. Your selective memory won't accept that though, I'm sure.anon this is one of those brain-boiled retards I mentioned
>>549317494All games are front loaded. Especially if they have any sort of open alpha or beta.
>>549316694its why larian ended up getting bg3 instead
Considering how much more progressive the pendulum is going to swing, how come we never had a trans romance yet? Or is Taash the farthest they'll go?
>>549317692Interesting thing about that. A lot of people blame a certain woman for a lot of the bad writing but the majority of it was already written before they signed her onto the team. This was confirmed by a Beamdog employee. Like Hexxat wasn't her. Mizhena was and a lot of dialogue responses were her but not much else.
That isn't actually interesting at all though
>>549318307I'm not even a chud but I draw the line at modern progressive terminology in my fantasy slop.
we blame Beamtrash not any single particular writer
>>549318278I do wonder what a Beamdog Baldur's Gate 3 would have been like. Amber Scott was already ousted from the company at the time and the feedback regarding the OC companions and story in Siege they made was commented on. Like you know how Siege's dialogue options sucked? It's cause the higher ups demended that people see it all from any screen without having to scroll.
>>549318278Sven too stronk

>>549318565I don't think I've seen a single person, left included, think Veilguard was anything but a circus show. I can only imagine you'd have to go into the most closed off echo chambers to find anyone who says otherwise.In fact, I've seen more criticisms of the Barve scene from leftists.>Make a scene about someone getting misgendered by accident and the one who said it by accident not wanting to make it look like they did it on accident to apologize and look good.>Prove it by realizing the most over the top, ridiculous self-flagellation performative act possible at that moment short of stabbing herself, an act which completely overtakes the entire scene and derails the conversation they were having so Isabella can explain what the fuck is pulling a Barve and feel good about how progressive she is.>On a more meta level, everyone could fucking tell adding that scene and creating that term is in itself Bioware desperately trying to farm good optics by making the act go viral and trying to make that a thing beyond Veilguard, making the entire fucking thing be completely hypocritical and trying to create a meme based around misgendering people and then self-flagellating for the spectacle and reputation.They basically said "this is bad, don't do it" and then went and did it.

>>549325843I don't disagree but there's not a lot of standout directors in vidya either. Miyazaki is the only one that comes to mind for me. Maybe the E33 guy, we'll see with his next game. Fuck you Itsuno.
>>549311614You're correct, one of the fundamental problems with RT combat is that everything is centered around damage. That, plus the terrible itemization makes it almost impossible not to trivialize the combat in the game even on the hardest difficulties, you have to actively make terrible decisions to make combat in this game anything even resembling a challenge. It's the worst part of the game, honestly, since it utterly kills any joy in replaying it, since you already know the lore, the world, and the characters, all that's left to carry it is the actual gameplay found in the combat, which, for reasons gone over many times in these threads, is far from satisfactory. Owlcat really needs to figure out how to design better combat, do a MUCH better job on itemization, and learn how to do basic encounter design if they ever want to make a truly great CRPG.
>>549326138just stop equipping good gear? just stop picking the highest damage options? it's so easy
>>54932568210 years of development hell. Got restarted like twice. Veilguard is leftovers from a multiplayer version and the plot hastily rewritten. Came out shit.
>>549326336That's the thing though. How does this happen? Why can't they just re-use more assets and flip a sequel quicker so they can focus on writing? Countless developers are guilty of this and then cry about Yakuza being able to shit out sequels every other year.
>>549325713Futa has tits and penis same as trans
>>549326138WotR is significantly better in terms of combat but that's probably because Pathfinder system is harder to break than Rogue Trader.They just need to chill with infinite scaling compounding with extra turns. I imagine Dark Heresy won't have the absolutely broken shit as a baseline.I hope they update their engine a bit too to handle high ground and elevated positions. It's not quite as satisfying finding a good sniper nest as it should be as stuff like line of sight still feels finicky.
>>549326308Part of the joy of CRPGs is slowly building up your team to be stronger than they were before. Doing this shouldn't mean that Anvers Gangers on Footfall end up being a more threatening combat encounter than awakened Necrons. Owlcat cannot seem to correctly design a power curve on itemization that aligns for both the party and the enemies they'll be facing whatsoever. After this latest debacle with Priest/Argenta I'm starting to wonder if they can even do basic math and actually understand what happens when multiple variables are stacked on top of each other.
>>549326621>They just need to chill with infinite scaling compounding with extra turns.It will not be enough, and the whole system will crumble. You'll get obliterated on unfair if you stall for long.
>>549318307Tash is such a bizarre character, feels like Weekes had a mental breakdown while writing her and couldn't decide what the fuck he wanted the character to be. She was also obviously meant to be a dyke only romance like Sera but at some point they switched to playersexual romances and had to make it so that the protagonist is the exception.
>>549327005>You'll get obliterated on unfair if you stall for longthe games should never be balanced around the meme difficulty setting, WOTR is balanced around Core which is why it actually feels better to do combat
>>549327053he projected his midlife crisis and trooning onto xer
>>549326572your ignorance is astounding
>>549327005Not really, no, if you build a tank correctly they can sit there forever against end game bosses, Abelard had something like 90%+ damage reduction plus his parry being completely maxed out, nothing could even get past his temp wounds stacking, let alone actually hurt him. Of course it didn't really matter since everything was dying in 1-2 rounds anyway but yeah. Defensive options do exist in RT they just aren't relevant because the offensive options your party has access to render them unneeded.
If I don’t want to trauma stack, should I go forge or death world for bladedancer? Probably gonna go executioner.Intelligence and toughness from forge world would be pretty pountless but the extra mp and dodge would be nice.
>>549326983It's like they have two hands fighting each otherThe hand that nerfed bladedancer believes everything must be balanced. The hand that turned naval officer and priest into monsters believes everything is fucked so just let them have fun.

Lots of critical people left in development. >Why can't they just re-use more assets and flip a sequel quicker so they can focus on writingI think by the time they convinced EA to drop the live service part it was too late to REALLY fix the writing. They had a really short time to rewrite and revoice the game. I am not defending it but it just was a no win situation. Plus the lead writer is responsible for the abomination of Trash.>>549327464I hate him for what he did to DA.
>>549327814ME5 is going to be entertaining just by virtue of seeing how much of 3 they have to retcon.
Noble rework when?
I think things will improve. A lot of these writers have moved on to other companies now. Of course you won't notice much for another 5-10 years with how bloated game dev time is.
>>549327965is there a canon ending of ME3?
>>549327814ME5 I have 0 hope for. I don't trust whatever Saudia Arabia and the dying corpse of Bioware will do.
>>549327771The previous guy was right though, part of what destroys RTs combat is the fact they have no cap on the scaling possible which is FURTHER fucked by the extra turn bullshit, which breaks the system in half. You can't really design a coherent combat system or decent encounters if you don't fix the core problems that are preventing you from doing so.
>>549327993>another 5-10 years with how bloated game dev time is.This shit needs to go, desu. I'm tired of waiting for games for almost a decade to release and then for years to get a full version
>>549328121If there was it would have to be the perfect destroy ending because that kicked off the whole indoctrination theory. I'm going to die laughing if they just copy it.
>>549328323I get the feeling Officer's gonna get a redesign in Dark Heresy. It's the root of pretty much all the issues in RT's combat system.
>>549323045
>>549323830>think Veilguard was anything but a circus >closed off echo chambers to find anyone who says otherwise.game journos and the general industry, not a single person said anything bad about it and has/will not because they cant admit that they represent everything that gamers hate, they have to commit to the narrative to justify their existence
>>549328623It's just the standard corpos missing the forest for the trees.
>>549328550It's not the root of all of them but it is a major contributing factor to the problems. Consider that every single combat encounter has to be designed around assuming that the attacking character can and probably will be buffed, and getting extra turns, OR has to be balanced around assuming that NOT to be the case, since Officer is optional. That means all your combats will, as a result, be too EASY for the guy using the Officer, or too HARD for the guy who isn't using one. Absolutely terrible idea for a class as a result as it practically guarantees bad combat design due to the nature of how it works, since multiplicative effects on a character are more powerful than simply having one additional character virtually every time.
never forget what a true return to form Veilguard was
>>549328323I think that if we are to just remove an officer and too much scaling then combat as it is today becomes extremely dull, boring affair.Point is, you can't fix a piece of turd with barely any mechanics outside of numbers.
>>549328957if you're expecting these dying SEOslop sights to actually play the games and not just ChatGPT reviews, you are retardedThey've been killed by jewtubers and they know it
>>549328957I wonder how much EA paid for this
>yandere jealous lover ending >ending where she keeps popping children for you>bodyguard with special benefits ending >yandere ghost maiden ending How did Owlcat become so based suddenly?
>>549328205I feel like best case if that the Saudis sell the IP or at least rent it out to some other studio. Bioware as it is now can't make fun games.>>549328957You would think if they were going to shill so hard they would at least come up with a couple of things to say instead of just "return to form."
>>549328323>>549328960I feel like the most obvious shit that has to go are extra AP and extra turns. Just look at something like BG3, made for literal children that enjoy 5e slop and even that game breaks apart gameplay wise when you start multicasting Haste or chugging Potions of Speed
>>549329193Really wish the yandere aspect was more present. Kibbels desperately needed more personality.
>>549329193it's not that they can't it's that they don't want to. just hammering in how pozzed they are desu.
>>549329195>>549328205Saudis are generally very hands off with the stuff they purchase as long as it keeps producing money. The issue here is modern Bioware is fucking garbage so it's likely that they'll be shutdown for being worthless. I wonder if they'll manage to squeeze out Mass Effect before that.
>>549328623>Taking game journo opinions seriously.
Why do people pretend Bioware's collapse was a mystery nobody in the industry will speak about as if the messy development of all of their games since DAO wasn't super well documented and reported on
>>549329193because they wanted the people to buy the dlc
>>549327053They should have just written Taash to be huge girl with huge breasts and a huge cock. And then make her hyper aggressive and horny.Literally easiest thing to write
>>549329301no one likes her for her "personality"
>>549329528truvke
>>549329716thank you for your thoughts on the matter, futa king
>>549327053His self insert and the muscle mommy fetish but trans
>>549329758She has no tits and no ass thoYou have to settle for personality
Dlc3 will have a blonde inquisitor mommy Screenshot this
>>549329503well game devs/publishers are, and if game devs are taking retards seriously, you have to address it because the retards cant help themselves, ubishit is fucking dead because everyone kept gassing up outlaws and ac:shadows>>549329520every dev triple a dev has messy developments now, its just par for the course with bureaucracy
>>549329520I like how they always pasted it off as being normal going as far as to call it bioware magic. >>549329481>I wonder if they'll manage to squeeze out Mass Effect before that.Doubt it. As of the release of Veilgaurd they straight up said they didn't have a single thing planned for ME5
>>549329929>more dogmatic humansi believe it
>>549330053In the post Gaider did about it he said that the "bioware magic" was normal to him because he'd never worked anywhere else.Seems pretty common in the industry to just exploit passionate developers until they burn out and the studio dies.
Scott should have been able to romance his sister in Andromeda
>>549329520Because they made games people liked and money. You might hate ME3 or DAI but they made money.
>>549329929It will cause dlc3 to be released at the end of 2027 + blonde inquisitor mommy will cuck you with Jimmy
>>549329758are we still doing the "no personality meme" ?
Where do I go to get some easy to miss, but worthwhile quests in Baldur's Gate 2?I'll admit, I'm a bit eager to move on from SoA, but I'd rather not regret crossing the threshold until I've experienced enough of the game.For the most part, the quests I've been doing are just ones I get from being approached in Athkatla, or talking with named NPCs.

GW shills space dorfs nowno orkz for u
>>549329716>Literally easiest thing to writeyet nobody ever wrote that in an AA+ gameMost recently, Swen failed with Karlach
>>549294058Can someone redpill me on some of the lesser known crpgs from this list like Expeditions, Solasta, Age of Decadence?I've played all the normie shit and my favorite ones are probably the Owlcat ones. How do those ones compare?
>>549330603I am racist to dwarves tho
Is operative really that shitI just want to snipe people
>>549330669Expeditions are shitty "crpgs" that are only talked about because Cleopatra has big milkers
>>549330784it just does basically nothing
>>549330784The problem is that operative uses it's turn to do one really big and powerful shot. At the start of the game, it's by far the best class and the one that will carry most encounters (more because of the sniper rifle than the class itself though). But at the game progresses, killing one mob every turn becomes extremely underwhelming, because the soldier archmilitant for example will be mowing down entire groups or bursting the boss so hard the framerate slows down.
>>549329193Meanwhile Cassia>political marriage ending with no love >eternally loyal to her love matriarch ending >cucked by ugly fish bastard ending >cucked out of hiers by mutations and time ending >third eye opening family implosion ending All a lot less interesting and more tragic.The political marriage one specifically felt spiteful, like could we not have married while also in love? Is that so bizarre owlcat?Let's not even start on the>no heirs lmaoending and how spiteful it reads either.
>>549330669Expeditions vikings is on a similar level of sovl junk that owlkek games are.AoD is fun if you like visual novels with multiple routes.Solasta is fun if you want some alright combat.
>>549329182There was a leak awhile back that said each reviewer gets a couple hundred and the website gets a few thousand.
>>549330731Too badDorfs already invaded a game about necrons and cogsYou're next
>>549330784They're pretty good but they're focused around dealing massive dmg to one target or debuffing the fuck out of one target. Don't expect it to solo clear encounters and you'll be fine.
>>549331070I really do wonder why the fuck does Cassia have a love ending and a marriage ending, but they're incompatible. If she loves you then you're not a good marriage prospect and must keep the relationship secret, but if she doesn't love you then you're the best bet for her dynasty? What?
>>549331101>couple hundred awful
>>549330345I don't really remember any hard to find quest. Umar Hill has a fun questline with people getting murdered and there's the serial killer in the bridge out of Athkalta. Just look at the wiki, it has a list of quest by locations.
Just put in the idira romance owlcat, its not to late.
>>549331073>Expeditions vikings is on a similar level of sovl junk that owlkek games are.Hmm, I'll check it out next steam sale>AoD is fun if you like visual novels with multiple routes.I really like VNs so I'll keep an eye on this one>Solasta is fun if you want some alright combat.ehhh, didn't particularly like 5e combat in BG3
>>549329897No problem.It's sad - a properly done futa Taash + human male (femboy) rook could have been as big as Solas + female elf inquisitor
>>549330669>Expeditionshaven't played but anons around here seem to enjoy it when they play it>SolastaI had fun with it. You have to go in realizing it's more of a home-game type experience, like "Now we're going to the dungeon. Why? To kill the bad guy of course!" Though there were a couple cool story moments that surprised me, I guess because I didn't have big expectations there.A bit janky, but lots of charm, and better combat than BG3 imo. You have things like actual flight and climbing on walls and over ledges.>Age of DecadenceSome people talk this up so I tried. I have pretty high tolerance for jank but after playing the combat tutorial I quit and never replayed. I felt like I'd seen better shit come out of /agdg/, so I never gave the actual game a fair shot. I've also heard mixed about it, like a lot of the asshole-DM syndrome. Two I'd suggest without reservation are Wasteland 3 and Jagged Alliance 3. Wasteland is kind of like Fallout (well, vice versa technically) in its setting and tone. Jagged Alliance 3 is more combat than RPG but there are definitely choices you make that have effects, and a lot of reactions from your team so who you take with you has an impact. I'd also strongly suggest Shadowrun: Hong Kong but only if you actively enjoy reading. There's lots of content and you could skip most of it honestly, but I think that's some of the best of the game, so I'd only really suggest it if you are in the mood for a book in videogame form. The combat is meh. The post-game campaign is longer than I expected and I enjoyed it. Any other questions about these or something else I've played, happy to give my thoughts
>>549331662these images are gross stop posting
So why does Aerie act like er I can't quite put the words into it but her voice is ambrosia but her personality I wouldn't really say it's childlike but she seems to be the VN girl everyone says is CUTE CUTE but is not a romance.
I NEED DARK HERESY ORIGIN INFO NOW!!!!
>>549331665>Two I'd suggest without reservation are Wasteland 3 and Jagged Alliance 3I've already played Wasteland 3. Loved it a lot actually. Just felt it was a bit too short.Jagged Alliance 3 I thought was a tactics game. I'll check it out.
>>549332039>Wasteland 3Good game but the dlcs was awful. They also never followed up with the coma lady.
>>549331662these images are wholesome keep posting
AOD stinks. I tried to play it but's it's just endless skill checks and the game expects you to be know just which skills to level up to progress and if you can't pass them because you leaves your character up differently you'll find yourself unable to continue the game.
>>549331393So is there anything out in the wider world that I'd need to just come across to get? BG1 had a lot of that, and I thought it was fun to just wander around aimlessly in search of something interesting. It made it feel like an adventure.
>>549331662Anduin...
>>549332284Yeah that's my criticism of Iron Tower Studios. You HAVE to specialize otherwise you can't progress.
>>549331291grimderp
>>549332312Sadly no all the quests are tied to the main map locations like the forces and cities. There's not people standing around in the woods or outside of cities and stuff like the first game.
>>549331662>Futafags will see this imagine and picture the draenei bending the human over and plowing him, instead of the superior scenario that is the human plowing her form the front while he's positively lost in her incredible tit flesh.
>>549332914I wonder why not. People loved that shit.
>>549332994
>>549332994so what's the point of the cock if what you're describing is already possible with any mommy
>>549333180>so what's the point of the cockTo be the human's, and to be inside her goat pussy.

>>549302406>Magic powers>From the same source magic comes from>Not a mage though! Shut up before I sell you back to your old masters
>>549333063I liked it a lot too. It's the cost of making the game more epic feeling and making the cities bigger and more fleshed out. They didn't have the resources for the smaller stuff.
>>549330296It's not that their games are all shit. It's that you can't crunch a game together out of nothing with leadership that actively hates the kind of games their studio makes forever.
>>549333257how is it related
>>549332284It feels like it's meant to be played like a roguelite but nothing about the game was compelling enough to actually make me want to replay it a million times like that.
>>549332039>Jagged Alliance 3 I thought was a tactics gameIt's a lot of tactics/combat. But it's also well done, and there are story elements and quite a few times where you're deciding what to do about some person or situation.If you aren't big on combat you won't like it, but if you liked Wasteland 3 I could see you liking JA3.I saw a post where you said you like VNs, then I would also suggest Shadowrun: Hong Kong, just played through it a month or so ago, and I enjoyed it very much.
>>549331291The whole concept of her romance is forbidden courtly love.
What do you tend to envision for your protagonists after the plot of their game resolves?
>>549306620I would have preferred to romance Jaheira in 3 than 2 because I never romance her in 2 anyway and she's better than any of the girls in 3
>>549334423Futa breeding sex
>>549334423they disappear from reality with a dab then materialize in the next crpg
>>549334378>Cassia is about forbidden courtly love>Jae is about sex for money>Yrliet is not a romanceOnly Kibbles is good
>>549334517i'm surprised no one has done a romance where it's an older woman who is really grateful for the attention
>>549334714we have >a romance where it's an older man who is really grateful for the attentionin veilguard

>>549334714Jaheira doesn't look that old, I thought she was considered to be in her 30s relative to her race.Though I don't know the lifespan of half elves in DnD

Rogue Trader question. I'm just before act 3 starts, and Solomorne warned me to not break the promise to the arbites since I haven't done Thassera yet. Will failing to go to Thassera before starting act 3 fail it and that whole dlc questline?
>>549297981At least Yrliet saves her cheating on you until after the game is over
>>549336732Not at all. You can definitely do Thassera after Act 3.
Jae is very cute
>>549295517>>549295852To be fair Cass isn't explicit about it and based on her backstory (I think it was a comic don't remember) it's very likely she didn't even actually get to fuck the dude.
You now remember the BG2 modder who was making a new introduction that assumes you took Montaron, Xzar and Shar-teel with you instead of Minsc, Jaheira, and Khalid. He was going to have Montaron be the dead one.Guy got bullied out of the scene due to people finding out he posted on Codex.
As bad Dragon Age 2 was at least it didn't fuck with the lore
lol
>>549337989if anything, it improved it. Red Lithium was a welcome addition to the family.
>>549337431>>549336732I decided to hop over, and when I entered the system to start act 3, Solomorne left. I know they moved him to join MUCH sooner, but idunno what other factors might contribute
>>549338495That's really strange. He's supposed to be there for the Thassera mission.
>>549331291SlavderpThey love twisting things to give you bad endingsIn slav tabletop gaming culture, the DM and the players are adversaries.
>>549336673Are you the guy that was talking about the Octavia double blowjobs last thread because I want you to know I hate you and I can't scrub the scene from my mind no matter how hard I try
I would make a list about Yrliet"s ending like I did for Kibbles and Cassia, but they are all basically the same thing so there is no point truly.You get no pussy, and either she leaves or you die, the end.There isn't even anything to discuss.
>>549340023kys

>>549340209Don't shoot the messenger. I even tried my best to find some Yrliet artwork that doesn't have her looking like a troon, admittedly I failed though.
>>549332365didn't Anduin hook up with the black amputee zoomer haircut lady that helped him with his ED in newest expansion?
>>549338654I meant he left when I went to the act 3 spot. I assume Thassera fails if I go there first, though I didn't get a notification of such. It COULD be that he goes to the planet himself and you find him there after act 3 but who knows. I opted to just start Thassera
>>549331662THAT'S A NORMAL DRAE THO, NOT FUTA, i'VE SEEN THEIR PORN
>>549340548Are we sure Alduin isn't just gay?
>>549340023>There isn't even anything to discuss.So true bestieAnyway, what food Yrliet likes?
>>549340508There's this
>>549340882Oh ok. Well anyway I know that one of the companions you recruit in Act 3 has lines for Thassera, so it must be possible.
>>549341208I was looking for some actual artwork rather than her portrait put through a filter

Hey anons, I'm playing a Sorc in BG1. I currently have 16 Wisdom. Is there any reason why I should bring it to 19? or can I give a tome to Xzar to dual him to cleric.
>>549350950manlets never learn
>>549350997Wisdom has no effect on you whatsoever, except for RP purposes you could drop it as low as possible.It's unfortunate, and I never found a mod that lets you use Wisdom for like, spell saving or anything.So, I'd give it to Xzar unless you want to higher Wisdom for RP purposes or for your own dual I guess.
>>549351412NTA but isn't it good for Wish?
Choose carefully /crpgg/
>>549351580Yeah but that's so late game by that time you have a billion other options. And playing just for something like optimizing Wish is soulless as fuck. But you're correct, yes.
I never understood the obsession with wish. People have to roll in the high 90s because they need to dump useless points into wisdom alongside their main stats.
>>549351706>>549351580And besides you could just chug a potion.But, BG isn't for minmaxing. There's really no need and they are better games if you RP and headcanon things.I've never done it but I could see dualing Xzar to cleric, but I'd personally only let him use spells that fit with him, so probably no buffing. But that's just my 2cents on how I think it's most fun to play.

Jae should have been a woman only romance
Can Idira fucking stop exploding and knocking everyone with each Foresight use wtf. I don't remember perils of the warp happening so often back in the day. Almost ready to drop her out of the party
>>549360016>cassia for males>heinrix for females>jae for boththe classic mass effect 1 spread. only women should be gay or bi desu
>>549360016Jae is so hetero coded aside from 2 quips about Argenta that she barely passes as bi
I like my dollies playersexual for maximum computer roleplaying potential
>>549360685homo opinion
Romance I like = straight codedRomance I don't like = gay coded
>>549360341Just be thankful you're not doing a grimdark run. Shit's unplayable with her.
>>549360751you ought to know
>>549295292i remember first playing this and thinking god damn this bitch is old do not wantnow i am almost her age and want to fuck her brains out
>>549360685
>>549361256His criticism here is a genuinely completely accurate criticism of how this general talks about romance.
>>549361256He's completely right
>>549360402>Jae for males>Heinrix for females>Yrliet for lesbians>Ulfar for gays>Cassia non romanceable because she's underage.
>>549362463>Ulfar for gaysGames Workshop status?
>>549362614Gay
>>549361256Find one (1) flaw on his logic
>>549361256He replaces it with shallow, masturbatory balance autism.
>>549362671There's literally nothing gay about dipping your bro
>>549361493He doesn't have any criticisms though.The "gross" masturbatory romance he speaks of isn't even remotely present in games that aren't made in Japan.He is once again trying to create something where there is nothing so he can come out on top.
>>549364108>anon can't read
>>549364108the average JRPG romance is way more vanilla than whatever the fuck owlcat, bioware & larian call a romance, you'll get a smooch and a fade to black at best
>>549364287At this point, I think I'd prefer a nice love confession, and a kiss on the cheek over the whole "I've decided I like you enough. Now have access to my holes" Shtick.Something with some real heart behind it.
>>549364550Sawyer only has a void of insecurity where a heart should be so tough luck with that
He read masturbatory and thought it was referring to literal eroge masturbation material and not the ego stroking unlock sex and pregnancy minigame that a lot of people reduce characters to
>>549364764You have no idea what you are talking about Sawyer, take your strawman with you on the way out
Its not just that Sawyer is right, its that hes incapable of being wrong.
>>549361256I think the most amusing thing about this is the idea that Sawyer either watched enough harem anime to form an opinion on them or he just decided to shit on a genre based on the name only
If Sawyer is wrong I don't want to be right
SawYERYERliet
>>549361256He is 100% correct, that's why he makes waifutards seethe
Sawyer is the type of guy to call writing that doesn't pander to his interests as gross and then turn around and lecture everyone else about the importance of allowing writers to express their creative vision
>>549365004>h-h-h-h-arem animu is akshually very deep and a commentary ont eh cntemporary state of society. Y-you could only understand it if you watched it!Get a grip
sawyer loves moe
>>549365574Being able to express your """""""""""""""""creative vision""""""""""""""""" does not make you immune to criticism, waifutard. You can't even form a cohesive argument, you're so retarded
>>549365004I don't think it really takes much to form an opinion on harem shit. What you see in chapter 2 is what you're going to get in chapter 300.
>>549365461He is 100% correct in the most superficial sense of being correct, and if you stick to platitudes like "if you're going to do something do it right" you'll always be correct, but never say anything meaningful. It's like, what if all the writers decide their characters shouldn't be smoochable? Then you end up with a dry romanceless game nobody wants to play. Like Pillars of Eternity.
>>549364550>a nice love confession, and a kiss on the cheekYrliet if she was well written (she isn't)
Which girl has the most classic fairy tale romance happy ending?
>>549366064It was really egregious that you couldn't romance Grieving MotherI mean what was he thinking?
>>549366064>if you stick to platitudes like "if you're going to do something do it right"He spends an entire paragraph on why he thinks the way most romance is in crpgs work is "not right". Cope, seethe, dial 8, waifutranny
Sometimes I forget that all the seething about Sawyer isn't actually because of anything he's made but because he once wrote a single forum post critical of romance.
>>549366179Jimmy. You save him from the wicked witch (Calcazar) with the power of love and you live happily ever after
>>549366179Arooe
>>549366264Okay then why doesn't he do it right if he knows what's wrong with it? He had full creative control of PoE so why didn't he do it? Maybe he just sucks at his job?
>>549365923But as long as your creative vision resembles misery porn you are free of all criticism right?
Tsk tsk tsk
>>549366389Not at all. "Waaah waaah why can't i stick peepee in vagoo" is not a criticism though
Why wasn't the black woman bird thing in poe romanceable she would have been a favorite
>>549366506Good thing nobody is saying that then
>>549366491This is who Sawyer thinks he is
>>549366617sawyer wrote her and you know how anal he is about romances
>>549366506Well, why can't I?If Grieving Mother was real I could fuck her.
>>549367039>has to ask google to play games for him
>>549366617Players don't want romances. They want non-stop balance, which PoE delivers.
Arue is a great example of a well written romance that will turn you down if you don't approach her the right way.If Sawyer had written her, he would give you the opportunity to flirt with her only for her to turn you down no matter what.Then he would claim this is good roleplaying and writing.
>>549367309I dropped PoE1 after its tutorial
Deadfire is GOOD
>>549367487In Sawyer's experience, that's how women always respond.
Why did Sawyer write Yrliet?
>>549368482He wishes he did for sure
Tides of Numenera had a child companion, nothing ever attempted before and since.
>>549368482Based her on his first gf (she became a lesbian after they broke up)
>>549369023Why does she look like elric?
>doors actually lock at nightdarn
>>549343225(((Elves)))
>>549371156What game?
>>549361256mowti understand sawyer hate
>unclear dialogue options that don't have an obvious meaning my favorite. or better yet, they say something completely different.

Larian does dickhead companions much better than nice companions. I wish they hadn't made everyone in BG3 nicer.
>>549366064A problem with his logic of romance being something baseline masturbatory and intrinsic of bad character writing because it railroads any arc into "and then they want your dick, you win" is that 99.99% of any given RPG companion considers your their good time buddy by the end of a story because you can only rarely sprinkle in an instance of "please use this character who fucking hates you and will always hate you no matter what". A lot of his thesis is based around not compromising on character writing to stroke the ego of a player but none of his games are filled with that outside of his core belief in Pillars that the player should feel like a cuck at the end.
In RT, should I have all the papers and books with me at all times or it's ok to store them at my ship?
>>549373572>A problem with his logic of romance being something baseline masturbatory and intrinsic of bad character writingDid you even read the post
>>549373891That's his core issue in the context of "romance for everyone".
Jae being bisexual and not a lesbian makes no sense.
>>549374191Jae does sound like gay I give you that.
>>549374191She seems super straight somehow
>women's rights? More like women's wrongs.
>>549374643Jimmy wouldn't say that
>I love making niggers explode with my mind
>>549374807Idira would say that
>Ooooh it's time for them to RUN, my sweet!
Any 40k powerscalers here? Which psyker discipline is the strongest in lore?
>>549375434Not sure if Jae would say that or not, because I never recruit her
>standing out in the rainyeah sure, your doing research buddy.
>>549375446A lot of the stuff around disciplines exists mainly in the context of the games and most of the canonically strongest psykers in lore nebulously do generic space wizard nonsense spanning everything from mind nukes to incomprehensible demonic [book cannot describe what is happening].
>>549375446That's not a thing in lore. Psykers are powerscaled based on these rankings and that's basically it, there aren't really specializations like that
>>549375446>Any 40k powerscalers here? Which ______ is the strongest in lore?It's whoever the writer is most interested in at the moment and failing that whatever line of toys needs to be promoted. Happy to help.

Idira should have been like jostica were you can just fuck her on the side.
Avowed had romance and none of you played it
yikes, two years after release and only one real RT dlc. only going to honor the season pass sales with the low effort slop for rogue flop
>>549377137Avowed looked like hot doodoo asscheeksUE5 games don't count, they might as well not even exist
>>549377137I played it!
>>549377341dont worry even though only lex sold, it sold really well. The next two dlcs budgets will be HUGE.
>>549377429>lex
>>549377137Lex somehow got better sales and higher peak then void shadows despite one having kibbles and the other one having solomorne.
>>549377624doubt, people thought the 2nd dlc would be as good as the first and got scammed. people dont get tricked twice see poe2
>>549377429My favourite crpg is joylessly masturbating while looking at steam charts
The big redpill is that no one actually cares about romance. It's the cherry on top of the cake. If the cake is made of shit, the cherry doesn't do anything.
>>549377624because the season pass was 50% off when he launched and it was cheaper to get them both than to just buy Kibbles alone at launch
>>549361256My question is why won't he do something about it? In the next game he should just write what he considers a good romance and let's see what happens. Instead we get shit like outer worlds 2 with "and no you can't romance them XD" and back to square one
>>549378384"BG"3 disproves this entire retarded theory because its an absolute irredeemable godawful piece of shit game that sold 9 billion copies on romance alone
>>549377624Most people including myself wait for the entire season pass to release before buying and playing it
>>549378384It's the only thing most of this thread cares about but most of this thread also doesn't play crpgs to begin with.
>>549378657Cope
>>549378776post webms of enjoyable "bg"3 gameplay lmfao
>>549378832Cope
Just drop solasta 2 already.
>>549378832I don't think I've ever played a crpg that a short clip could make fun. Did you forget you're in the autistic spreadsheet builds and text boxes general?
>>549379113I'm not going to lie and pretend to like owlcat games for the gameplay, thoughI bought them for the waifus
>>549378384My stance it's sort of a generic staple of the genre at this point. I don't care if it's in or not but every CRPG that comes out that has gone out of its way to go "romance is gay" also ends up having shitty companions regardless.
>>549376187alpha plus psykers are above primarch from the description
>>549379175Why not just play visual novels instead of crpgs?
>>549379669That's basically at a level where it's immeasurable, I am going to guess that the emperor was at that level initially
>>549379989>have to do a significant amount of reading>waifu probably has some kind of character flaw and drama involved because it's actual romantic fictionSounds too spooky for your average waifufag
Is secret of the weepstone still coming out?
>>549380323>reading romantic fictionyou can't be serious
Melta buffs pls
You cant make fun of romantic fiction and be a unironic waifu fag.
>>549380530What did you think romance visual novels were bro
Idira tickling her balls with my mind.
>>549379989because I watched anime when women forced me to and quickly realized that nips have like two or three plots and characters and that's it, they just reuse those ad infinitum, jap garbage is an actual waste of timeI want to play as an edgelord or a lady knight romancing women, not twinky mcfagbangs romancing uguu ghost schoolgirls
>>549381145You know there are western visual novel games right?
>>549381332yeah I played DEKim was an alright waifu
>>549381332oh yeah? Post at least 5
Ifan ben-Wolfguy is like whatever the guy version of a generic waifubait companion is. This dude exists for no reason other than to be an inoffensively gruff and edgy sad boy love interest.
>>549381538sadly they failed to realize that a man failing or being sad is kind of ick
>>549375751She says that to her pet if you give her one. She's very pleased with it. If it takes damage she says>Don't worry! I'll tighten your screws :D
>>549376324Looks like Rhianna
>>549379989>>549380323I like CRPGs for the same reason I like reading novels.I like being immersed into the world. And the main character having a love interest is part of that.Playing a character or reading a book where the main character doesn't even have a love interest feels juvenile to me.I don't need to be a big thing at all, hell I don't even want it to be a big deal, I am not reading a dating simulator. But it really needs to be there, or at the very least I need a reasonable reason for its absence.Of course there are exemptions, but it's harder to get into a CRPG without it.
>>549381796From what I've seen I think he's actually very popular as a romance. People like that kind of sad and pathetic.I'd like him more if he was more of a fuck up.

How the fuck are you supposed to solve the sewer puzzle with the Motive Force? Pasqal isn't really helpful.
>>549382729Oh yeah I remember that. Just look it up. The instructions are poorly translated and kinda backwards. You basically have to follow a red cable and activate things as you go. But there's a decoy cable and it's kinda sneakyDon't feel bad to just look up the answer.

>>549383349>>549383650>instructions blatantly lieI'm gonna assume this puzzle worked in Russian
>>549382729I somehow figured it out the first time and never bothered again
>>549383984Yeah the cable snakes past a switch that says LATCH the dampener instead of UNLATCH, but doesn't actually connect so you're supposed to go past that and leave it alone. Classic slavjank DM trap. The Unlatch switch is elsewhere. I think that's how it is
How does owlcat manage to make such consistently bad puzzles?
Owlcat should just make a wizardry like if they want to add in puzzles
Name ONE good puzzle. That's right, there are none so stop putting them in crpgs.
>>549384953They try too hard. Making them simple and fast should be the key. People don't want to actually solve shit, only have a super secret badass item from it, often mainly for lootgoblin completionism reasons. So as soon as it is harder than most popular basic gaming puzzle everyone looks up walkthrough. And if it turns out the solution is autistic player gets annoyed and justified.
An, Pyro psyker is so fun. I remember the Herald of Tzeentech fucking me up on my first run. My Pyro just roasted him then put the neverending burn on him and he just roasted to death as he teleported around.Psykers feel like a cheatcode.

>>549373783Definitely store what isn't immediately relevant
>>549385325>People don't want to actually solve shitI think the key is to let puzzle stuff be side content, and understood as totally optional. Something you can skip entirely or you can let it stew in the back of your mind while you go back about your main business.The true problem with puzzles for me is how unimmersive it is. It always, without exception that I can think of, brings me out of being in the world and suddenly it's "me vs the developer." That's what I hate most about puzzles in CRPGs. Suddenly what I'm looking at, I see matrix-style as a level in the dev's level editor, and I'm completely pulled out of the experience, because the puzzles never really make sense in the context of the world.
>>549386503Says you, but I had lots of fun in Pillars 1&2. And New Vegas and Tyranny.This whole thing of "my experience is the objective truth" thing is very tedious, and if it's not trolling, it's the sign of an extremely weak mind.
