I suppose it's not possible to save this idiot cultist girl
>>552259953I'm pretty sure it's implied that this is the daughter of one of the locals who attack Dercius during his questBut yeah, doesn't seem to be a way to save her
I hope they fix endgame in Dark Heresy. There's something about Act 4 in RT that just feels off. Maybe it's just how much of a pain in the ass travel is.
>>552260218Yes I figured it was her so I thought maybe I could intervene somehow. Doesn't seem possible, oh well.
>>552260287Act 4 really just doesn't have much to it. It's just Quetza Temer and the DLC stuff if you have it. And wrapping up everyone's personal quests.
>>552260287imo the endgame in RT was at least better than in WOTR
This is what Epione could have been.
>>552260642Epione doesn't owe you eye-candy.
This is all going in my report
>>552259598Interesting. Thought they'll be treated special with the emperor's light thing and all.So if owlcat weren't retarded and made a proper heresy path we could have gotten lots of goodies in there.
>>552261026wait a minute, how do you find that tomb?
>>552259953You can save her with a bullet to the head. It's a far better fate than what awaits her anyway
>>552260218>Dercius during his questThat quest bugged out for me. The dude bolted for the camp during the attack, and the attackers never left, They are just hanging outside the good sister's camp now. So does the designated escape area, and i can't talk to the sister about it, or to the guy
>>552260587Absolutely not. Wotr act 5 at least had 2 good dungeons in it. rt literally has nothing
>>552261347Well how? I don't get a chance. It's a cutscene.>>552261235Way out on the edge of the Brown Marsh, there's a box you can peer at and stick your finger in (don't do it). Well, the Baron puts you in contact with a young escapee from the Cult who gives you a relic finger bone. You can stick this in the box and it activates. However it requires you to recite a poem about Saint Scintilla, and to have access to the correct lines you need to show the finger bone to Sister Septima, who gives you a psalm book containing the relevant poem. Then when you activate the box, it opens up the tomb.
>>552261589Oh yeah, I know where that hole is, I just need the bone, thanks
>>552261750Correction, to get the psalm book you just need to ask the sister about St Scintilla. Might need to try activating the box first. Showing her the finger bone doesn't get you anything from her, but showing it to the merchant in that camp gives you a clue that the bone unlocks the tomb

What version do I have to buy to get all the dlcs for pathfinder warth
>>552266683The one with all the DLC. GOTY Edition. "Enhanced Edition" is just the base game with free patch updates.
>>552265864>implying Epione isn't dei woke slop the way she looks now
>>552256030And no fucking multiclassing. Why would you make a system based off of 3.5 and take away multiclassing
Am I too retarded for Dark Heresy or if the game just clanky? I'm used to puzzle games but generally those present you with all the info and you have to figure out the links yourself. Now you get that silly investigation board, but you lack hints. For example you have those "images from the past reconstruction devices" but can't seem to see how many you have in your inventory, so I kept running around the map thinking 3 was enough and never found where to put the fourth. You go get Cog and you have a signal from his owner or shit and then it dies out??? Ok bitch what do you want me to do now? You get the message once >teheee no more signaland that's it. What am I supposed to do now, nigger?
>>552269528It's very incomplete, journal doesn't really work, I was walking blind for a long time - it's not just youI assume they will add those things later
Thinking of grabbing Pillars 1 and 2 from the Steam sale, anything else I should pick up? Is the turn based combat any good? I already have Owlcat and Larian's games as well as Underrail.
>>552271290How do they keep conning people into buying underrail
>>552261026These guys were certainly a surpriseThey also kept reapplying the "Lost Battle" debuff each time I hit them, which tanked my Morale
>>552261504>>552262952If you don't go for the secret ending, WOTR's last act has very little to do, even if you have all the companions. To me, going from WOTR's Act 4 to Act 5 feels worse than going from RT's Act 3 to Act 4. In RT you do a lot of shit, and while the systems past the gate are pretty empty if you don't have Ulfar and Marzipan, it still feels better to me than WOTR's endgame.Granted, I do prefer the overall act of going from place to place in RT, so perhaps I'm just biased.
>>552268554
Would you?
Should I replay DOS2 or Rogue Trader?
>>552271539under rail is one of those games that people buy just to pose as a hard-core (C)RPG fanthe other being arcanum nobody plays these games to completion even a game like PoE which is often memed for having endless paragraphs have more percentage of people who reach the ending of the game
>>552260587Not even close.
>>552274498Gotta go fishin'
>>552274593WotR
>>552274593Depends on your needs and situation, I suppose. Couldn't get back into DOS2 when I tried to replay it, so based on that, I'd recommend replaying Rogue Trader.If you haven't experienced all the companion stories yet in DOS2 or are just in the mood for a more fantasy-oriented game, then replay that.
>>552255508>Quartermaster Wilcer Garms exposing himself to the Knight Commander of the Fifth Crusade Edition
>>552274973I could but I can't think of anything fun off the top of my head build wise. I'd probably go the angel mythic since I haven't touched it since the game first came out.>>552275075I played RT with patch 1.5 but its been a year or two since my last DOS2 replay.
>>552258913Bioware was good up until da3.
>>552274498shouldn't interrupt Cassia when she has relatives over

>>552275075>>552277313how long is Rogue Trader? it does look really great and I'm thinking about getting it but I just can't play these 80+ hour games anymore
>>552289002My first playthrough took me about 90 hours, but I like to take my time.If you don't recruit every companion, the game isn't going to be quite as long
>>552289002With the dlc 100+ hours
>>552289653>>552289661fuck me it does look good though. I don't know 40k lore very well but sure love a sci-fi setting. hmmmm what to do what to do, did you guys enjoy it?
>>552289791I really liked it, I've played through the game at launch, when Void Shadows came out, and when Lex Imperialis came outDark Heresy got me feeling like replaying it again, but I kinda also want to wait for the next DLC to come out first
>>552289791Yeah its a good game, the game teaches you the lore with little notes in text.
>>552289791it's a game for 40k lore nuts exclusively, gameplay is ass
hmmm then buying Baldur's Gate 3 is the safer play I'm sure if I'm looking for a CRPG. within the past maybe 5 years I've only played Pillars of Eternity 1 and Tyranny. Tyranny was great cus it was so short

>>552288717>Should I do Harrim and Jubliost's quest before going to Vordakai's tomb.Their quests shouldn't trigger until well after Vordakai, you should be on the Armag part of the game by that point
>>552281114Unironically its the class choices. I like classes in my vidya
>Thread StatementAragorn was not a human, he was a half-elf.
>>552297103>Middlearth crpg is the only chance for incels to fuck an eldar girl
>>552297103Which of his parents is an elf again?Human. Male. Fighter. Deal with it.
>>552291059If you've played through Pillars and Tyranny you can play through any CRPG without much trouble.
>>552289002>>552291059For shorter CRPG give Shadowrun Dragonfall and Shadowrun Hong Kong a shot (Shadowrun Returns is also real short, but that's more of a prototype). Great stories, but they have limited scope and exploration which makes them much shorter.
>>552298304Aragorn is one of the Dunedain, who are called the "elf-friends" and because of that have longer lifespans. They're elf-fuckers who produce half-breeds and that's why they live longer and are more skilled than normal humans and can fuck elf princesses like Elrond's daughter.

>bring your lover to Thassera get body hijacked can't actually tell your lover something deep and meaningful only s/he'd know Come on, owlcat>>552297103>>552298304it doesn't matter, his mom gave up immortality, he might be a better human but he is still a human after his mom literally crippled herself to stay with his dad
>>552300294Nah, his mom was human too, they're just half-elves because their entire line comes from Beren and Luthien. Arwen is literally his distant cousin.
>>552300405>Arwen is literally his distant cousin.Didn't know Aragon was this based
>>552300294>get body hijacked>can't actually tell your lover something deep and meaningful only s/he'd knowThat's because Thassera can be finished in act 2 before any romance hits full gear
>>552300648Beren and Luthien have one daughter, Elwing, and she has Elrond and Elros. Elrond eventually has Arwen, Elros decided to stay hanging around humans and from him come the human kinds Aragorn is directly descended from. So its a bit removed but they are cousins.
>>552301003>kindsMeant "kings".>Purity technicalityAlso technically Elrond is also a half-elf, but he's closer to being fully elf, his line is less watered down than the issue of Elros.
>go to planet>help governor out> send me heretic gifts I think the authorities might have had a point about this heresy thing
>>552304142Idex? Wish there was more to these events. You'd think the void would be full of stuff.

>>552256295>Just better AI really.For the companions? Who even uses that
Did Owlcat at all play Kingmaker themselves. The game makes everything so frustrating to deal with.
>>552272992>They also kept reapplying the "Lost Battle" debuff each time I hit them, which tanked my MoraleCould it have been the loudspeaker? It spews out heretical nonsense which lowers your morale. You can switch it to play morale-boosting hymns.
>>552268554She's not. She's like if Nenio were serious.
Will Expanse dollies have even half the charm?
>>552269528>You get the message once >teheee no more signalIs that in the swamp following the radio beacon? It's glitchy. When the signal dies there's supposed to be a body right there but it takes a minute to spawn. Basically everything works but unreliably.I've also found the detective journal could use work. I was hesitating on clicking "accept" on the hypotheses because I thought that would commit me. Eventually I clicked one and it created a logical link between two nodes which helped me progress. So you do need to "accept" findings once you're pretty sure. I think you can remove them at any time so no risk
>>552307341i did that battle with all the sliders turned up by staying on the upper level/bridge near the cogitator and just killing anything that came up. this didn't work that well when it was just demons left, but it was a slow battle of attrition until the level collapses, and you win by default. i assume the demons keep appearing until the level collapses, and you can't win outright by battle.
>>552289791It's great, all the background lore is explained naturally via tooltips. I would at least get the Void Shadows DLC. It's fully integrated into the main game and adds a lot. I would suggest turning up combat animation speed, it's a bit slow by default.
>>552308398Did you have to destroy the chandelier chains? I took out one of them but the others are all the way over the other side.
>>552307338Owlcat openly admits they dont have playtesters they are coding purely on vibes.

Imoen is a real waifu because she emerged organically as one, she wasn't written that way.
>>552312670CRPGs would be better if they had fully fleshed out romances, complete with explicit sex scenes tied to game mechanics. You can have well-written characters AND fantasy wish-fulfillment indulgent pandering, people just lack vision and the strength of will to get over their biases about pornography. It won't elevate as an art form until they do. Yes, my CRPG will show orcs raiding a human village and uh... "creating" half-orcs. No, this does not mean my CRPG is disgusting hentai pandering. Such an event is absolutely necessary for character development. Expand your mind.

>>552321152I've got both shadow run games installed on my PC for at least over a year and just finished the prologue in Hong KongMaybe I can finish those two>The game isn't even that interesting to me>I played through Pathfinder km and wotr, BG3 and fallout 1+2 but can't get into shadow run
>>552318648he is lawful evil anon
Finally finished a Rogue Trader run after letting it sit for a bit to get bug fixes and DLCIts a fun ride overall, I enjoy it far more than WotR, but even now its still a bit buggy. I have that itch to do another run but a few thoughts I have.1. The game seems to expect you to be executing/dismissing partymembers as you almost seem to get too many people to really focus on for multiple locations. 2. The game really wasn't built for Ulfar, he's just too big for most maps and a fair amount of Jank involves him. 3. The story turns into a mess because of chapter 3. Someone on the team very clearly has a hardon for the Eldar and wanted them to be very involved but Chapter 3 in particular just disrupts the flow of the story so much that Chapter 4 feels more like 'cleanup' than heading into the final fight. I'm hoping they dial things back a bit for Dark Heresy
>>552322649Yeah but so is Regill and he's like my right hand man.
>>552282420Malachor V still feels like a fever dream, all fragmentary bits and pieces but it is kind of satisfying now.Did you get the Droid Planet addon too? Where you're talking to droids trying to solve their little problem. Not the HK-47 factory, that's different.
>>552318649to start pathfinder gamesI got filtered a few years ago by them being turn-based
>>552323119>Chapter 4 feels more like 'cleanup'That's true. I felt like I was sweeping up all the leftovers, mainly companion quests.
>>552323119I wish the entire Comorragh chapter and everything after were actually just a separate game or two. The storylines even start to feel a little disjointed compared to the first acts with full blown necrons in the finale that deserved their own installment too.Rogue Trader could've been a chaos storyline, RT2 could've been a deldar story nd RT3 a necron story.
>>552323119that's more of a problem with act 4 than act 3. i enjoyed the rape dimension trip but the necron stuff and the resolution to main quest felt rushed.
>>552321152What game?
>>552323802RT should have been a necron storyline. The expanse is the realm of ancient alien horrors, we don't need Uralon the Fool making a nuisance of himself. DH is better suited to a chaos storyline.
>>552323828>that's more of a problem with act 4 than act 3No it's not. Chapter 3 is terrble, out of place, destroys pacing
>>552324098i disagree.
>>552324174You WHAT
>>552323775It did, its basically companion quests and seeing what Chorda and Winterscale are up to before going to just finish the cultists.>>552323802I can see the Necron throughline if you weave it in a bit more by having them pop up by I do agree that this story needed to be Chaos focused. DE should've been just enemies you see for side quests, in space, or as random encounters instead of what is a major antagonistic party for about two-ish chapters. I very much feel that someone on the team REALLY wanted to involve the eldar far more than they should have for this narrative.>>552323828So I like Act 3 in a vaccum, its a need idea.The problem is that Act 3 is a departure from the rest of what you are doing so you can't build UP to the Necrons or focus on the cultists.Act 3 robs the ability to build into Act 4 OR spread out the story a bit so Act 4 can breathe.
>>552324271i say you are wrong! well, not entirely, act 3 is meant to be an interruption and mess up some of the stuff set up in act 2 but the act itself is fine. sometimes shit gets interrupted. yes, it's annoying in games when you go to the obligated "your shit just stolen and you are in prison" level but there is a lot of nice character development in commerragh. they could have easily not had a bunch of time pass when you get out and still let you resolve stuff like the rogue trader disputes and get more time with calcazar.>>552324567owlcat just need more time to cook, so the placement of act 3 makes more sense.
>>552324908>"your shit just stolen and you are in prison" levelI really enjoy these levels, all the way back to Deus Ex.I liked Cumrag, and finding out where I am and what everyone else has gotten themselves into,
>>552324908More time is always the answer but in this instance where time remains a factor, I would almost say cut Chapter 3 and use it to instead show more of the Brewing Rogue Trader war and deal with the cult on some other planets.In a perfect world they'd have more time to build into Act 3 and then into a smoother act 4 transition but as is? Its just this massive derailment I don't feel the plot recovers from.That being said, for the next run I'm torn between trying Melee Argenta or doing a Flamer build.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI4Im-x1b70SOVL, also he said he is mostly coming back to doing CRPGs starting off with re-doing DoS2 guides and the new releases so that's relevant
>>552325393flamer argenta is fun
I sure do love when my character loses in a cutscene and is forced into a shitty prison segment despite being stronger than the villain. It really adds to my immersion when player agency is completely removed.
>>55232554Thats what I'm kinda feeling.I remember trying it with one run and I'm maybe going to do an Int/Fel Officer for the MC That or make a sniper MC
>>552325669You were bamboozled and deceived :)
>>552325669>Elantach what the hell happened! I thought you were gonna kick Marazhai's ass like the last three times!
>>552325731>>552325549
>>552325878>"Elentarch, I unknowingly lead you into a trap and you are being gassed, what the hell are you doing Monkeigh?" Also, my run hilariously bugged as I left Yrliet in Commeragh and she later just randomly appeared as a selectable party member but not actually in the shipShe ended up getting two sets of ending slides.
>>552326160That's not Yrliet, that's a warp anomaly.
>>552326730>"Monkey, it is I! Freed fr-">"You're saying it wrong.">"I-..what?">"You're saying it wrong, you need a harder K to match what Yrliet said.">"...Monke- monk...Monkeigh?">"There, now give me a look a of veiled disgust, enough that I need to look very hard to notice it.">"Monke- Monkeigh what are you-">"Also, spit on me."
>>552325669Owlcat should add more moments that kick power fantasy autists in the balls
>>552315808Black geyser already does this.
>>552327923It's also a good test of your skills, without your gimmick loadout
>>552326160>Oh Elantach how stupid do you think I am? You get gassed every time we run into those Nurgle cultists during a warp jump>What's di special about my dark cousin's gas?
>>552321152>do that replay of Rogue Trader >Encased>do a proper run of Underrail>Expeditions Vikings as i've heard its good even compared to rome>Age of Decadence and Colony ship>Shadowrun Hong Kong>if it releases this year Dark Heresymost looking forward to Dark Heresy, as i like Owlcat and Warhammer, intrigued to see how Vikings is considering i played Rome First, i actually quite liked Dragonfall so i hope Hong Kong is as fun, Age of Decadence seems like a game i'm gonna need a guide for, Colony Ship i hope i do not, Encased has just been on the backlog for a bit and i need to get around to doing a complete run of Underrail, i tried doing a run where i was a Psi using Hammerman and it was fairly workable but it felt awkward if i recall either way i've got a good lot of CRPGS to play ontop of all the other shit i need to play and i'm exited as fuck for Dark Heresy
>>552327923Nothing's wrong with that. The way they did it in rt was retarded and railroaded. On the yrliet path at at least.
>>552321152I'm kind of wanting to do a Mass Effect run. Right now though it's Kingmaker.
>>552325669Bring Idira too so you can enjoy the experience that is her screaming it's a trap and absolutely nobody paying attention to her for the first time in the entire game because it'd ruin the plot point.
All of this seems a little quick. I have been in this land for less than a week.
>>552331467>RED WHAT ARE YOU DOOING RED>THERE IS NO PATH REEEEDDDD ONLY SWAMP AND BLACK DRAGON RINGSIdira, you are being annoying, stop it
>>552330681They should have just included Yrliet in the Achilleas path
>>552327312>>also spit on megod I wish that would actually make yrliet hot instead of a void of charisma
how come no one complains about the unfunny humor in BG 2 ?people often say how wacky and unfunny DoS games are but BG2 was the first to do these unfunny retarded jokes
>>552331016I want to pump amiri full of babies till she becomes infertile
>>552333805it was funny 25 years ago, I think
>>552333718>"Elantarch, my kin view you like beasts, simple creatures tha-" >So you are into beastality? >"THAT ARE BENEATH ARE PROPER ATTENTION AND WISDOM>">...Thats not a no.>>552331467Yeah I saw that.Even a Rogue Trader that uses her visions basically goes "Idira, what are you screaming about now?"
>>552327923I don't mind having moments where the player is bamboozled or put on the backfoot, but RT did it in one of the most contrived and idiotic way that made theses otherwise sensible characters look like utter retards for walking into an obvious trap. its kinda a bigger issue with the game as a whole that the rogue trader doesn't walk around with an extra 2 dozen bodies as a hired death squad funded by the filthy deep pockets that a rogue trader ought to have.
>>552333805None of those people have played bg2. They just like being contrarians and think it’ll make them fit in more
>>552333805>he already forgot about noober from bg1
>>552334162Do you also get angry about taking your navigator off the ship?
>>552334660not really, just as I understand it the crpg is just not a good translation of the actual tabletop because rogue traders on table top don't adventure around like a dnd party.
>>552333805The difference is that BG2 is relatively grounded. You have some comic relief that does become grating with characters like Minsc and Jan, you have talking swords, and you have some pop culture references, but all these things are moments of levity that you can mostly ignore. I didn't bother with Minsc or the "funny" gnome on subsequent playthroughs. Whereas DOS2 had this irreverent and equally grating Whedonesque style of humor that is unfunny, immersion-breaking, and pervasive thus impossible to ignore. A fantasy game shouldn't be grimdark super serious, but aim for a balance. Serious moments shouldn't be undermined because you expect every other NPC to make a stupid joke or quip. Also, Minsc is just a moron. He's not a talking skeleton or the "red prince" of scalies.
Who killed the agent nigga in the kroot camp in DH. My current prime suspects are the warshaper(hid the kroot corpses was being spied on by agent) or his brother (hiding a fresh injury)
>>552335381I figure it's the non-warshaper, flesh shaper I think he's called. For a few reasons 1) agent was surprised in his last moments, which he would not be with the war shaper who hated him2) flesh shaper is injured and trying to hide it 3) agent to get the Kroot hooked on sea-goo, which the flesh shaper would have found out about and would not tolerate
>>552335354Red Prince and Fane are played completely straight in their actual story content
>>552336760That's the problem. You can't take the game seriously because of that.
>>552336883So they’re not joke characters and you can’t take the game seriously because they’re joke characters but actually they’re not and that’s bad
>>552335354DOS2 is funnier than BG2 and is less reddit too if we're being honest.
>>552337162From an in-universe perspective, they're not joke characters. From an out-of-universe perspective, they feel like joke characters because Swen just wanted a wacky talking skeleton and an aristocratic scalie with a posh accent. Do you understand the nuance there? Minsc is just your average dumb not-barbarian. No one thinks Minsc is just there because a writer wanted him there. If instead of Haer'Dalis, there were a kobold bard companion that was played straight, how would that make you feel? Could you take the companion seriously?
>>552334137>my kin view you like beasts, simple creatures thaThat's a Yrliet only thing.
>>552332008
>>552337943Yes.
>>552338121Oh that's not canon, that's just Gav Thorpe
>>552338387Not everything from Gav is automatically bad, anon.
>this motherfucker doesn’t know about deekin
>>552338121Eldar can do a minor murder. As a treat.
>>552333574No, they shouldn't have included her in that at all or, if they really wanted to play up the betrayal angle, reworked it. For example that idea to make her Marazhai's relative is a good one
>>552338121I'm largely playing it up as a joke but even in that passage it shows 40k morality in general. At best, the eldar would consider a human akin to an overly intelligent ape, stupid, sometimes useful but not quite 'at their level'. At worst the eldar see humans as just dangerous beats.But its 40k, where "They are different, go kill them" is state enforced by and large for a reason.
>>552338387Owlkek is gav thorpe tier. They are no more canon than him
>>552338121>Korlandril doesn't mind jolly cooperation between humans and Eldar even if they are a lesser species>Thirianna gets PTSD over having to kill human children, so much so that she almost gets corrupted by Sai'lanthresh during a battle in realspace>Aradryan is just a different kind of autistic retard where he doesn't hate humans but just sort of copies the callous speciesism that some Eldar have, he just follows the crowd and murders a human for no one reason because it's what an arrogant Corsair prince might do>>552338387Gav Thorpe wrote a bunch of Eldar lore in codices in the past. I have issues with his writing and some of his takes on lore, but you can't just discount everything he writes.
>>552338660Then I guess I can do some minor rape. As a treat.
>>552338650One of the worst Bioware companions ever written? Dick-in makes boss unhappy! Dick-in gets boot to the face! Dick-in getting fed to the wolves!
>>552338894>Aradryan just follows the crowdCool, eldar have NPCs too
>>552338908this art is hideous. yrlietsimps really have no good art that isn't yuri
>>552339140you sound like a miserable person
>>552338719>At best, the eldar would consider a human akin to an overly intelligent apeIt's more like hows Romans viewed barbarians. Potentially useful, but not equal.
Being called Elantach makes me hard.
>>552339484Same. When Muaran called me that once I was like "uh dude could you not, only she can say that"
>>552339484All bonered up and nowhere to go.
Battletech is pretty fun.
We have secured our own little fortress. We can construct lots of buildings such as:BarracksChapelTrading PostHowever, these endeavours are far from cheap. If only there was a way to make money in these lands...
>>552340818How's the game Expeditions anon? Have you played the other two?
>>552342453Works on my psyker
>>552342453WITNESS YOUR DOOOOOOM

>states a couple simple facts like how everything here is Idira's fault and how this is not the first time this happened>"Shut up! You're the worst one here!"Add lying to the list I guess. You're the worst one here, Idira.
>>552344490No no, Idira already knows Argenta is hiding something but doesn't know what it isA "cloak of darkness trailing behind her" is how Idira described it to you
>>552344490And yet Idira is still right.
>>552344679I already know the secret. Idira is by far the worst person here, by a large margin.
There's something very muddled about the two investigations in the DH and I can't adequately explain what it isI felt like I wasn't stumbling from trigger to trigger rather than unravelling something that made sense
>>552344841Was* stumbling
>>552344765>kills a heretic>worst
>>552345070>arrogant to the point that she gets an entire platoon of guardsman stuck on spikes>not worst
>>552345204They would have gotten stuck there anyway. She did nothing wrong
>>552345348Oh cool that must be why she shows no regret whatsoever
>>552345070Didn't even have the balls to own up to it.
>>552344490>Idira moansNice
>>552344264Why does she wear that thing on her neck and chin
Fantasy Abelard!
>>552347152To protect her modesty
Crikey, Mexico is probably close to 5x the size of Hispaniola. I don't know how you guys play games but I prefer to visit an area and clear it out completely before moving on.
Who should I bring with me in Act 3 of Rogue Trader?I killed Idira and have all the DLCs.
>>552323901The game is Expeditions: Conquistador.>>552341003Conquistador is tough but fun. Looking forward to trying Viking and Rome in the future.
>>552347785are eldar necks considered erotic
>>552348119Yes, and ears.
>>552348119Female necks are erotic for humans too
>>552348020>Yrliet>Argenta>You're waifu>Heinrix>Jae
>>552348020Idira and Argenta are mandatory :)
>>552348020>I killed IdiraRude.
>>552347737That's just regular Abelard. Here's actual fantasy Abelard
>>552344490>>here is Idira's fault and how this is not the first time this happenedwhen has pointing this out ever made someone extremely stressed calm down
Pool of radiance>kingmaker
So I have quesstions.How do you actually build Pascal?Just plasma spam? I likely built him poorly the first run as a melee techpriest as he felt very glass-cannon
>>552349148yes, bounty hunter plasma or melta spam is simple and broken
>>552348020>I killed IdiraNice going retard
>>552349148The new plasma stuff carries him hard so yeah. Could probably also do arc rifles
>>552323901Conquistadorits a game where you create Latinos
>>552349232Ok, I did bounty hunter last run and it felt 'fine' but I almost wonder if another class would work for variety's sake.I did bounty hunter Argenta and she works decently well if you put that Single Shot necklace on her to just dump out auto-hits. Idira....I don't feel overseer on her.
>>552348020idira and argenta because that actually gives argenta scenes in act 3
>>552349148>melee techpriestThey kinda trick you into doing this
>>552349295idira isnt that useful and you barley muss out on any content.
>>552349408overseer is so you can apply her single target buffs to the entire party because cyber raven turns single target psyker powers into aeos around it.
>>552349408You could use the hawk on him. It won’t be as good but it’s still good.
>>552349484You're not wrong, he very much needs to get into power armor but even then he's just...fragileI think its a problem of him going into need to up his T, WS, S, AND his I to function which is just too many stats to balance. >>552349603I was likely playing her wrong then.I may give it another go to spread buffs.
>>552349307not a single thing in that screenshot would make me want to play this "game"
>>552349307Damn. They're not holding back
>>552349661I'll give it a go.I seem to remember using him as an assassin in an early build and he was 'OK' in that role.
Abelard the ladies man.
>>552349889Assassin got some nerfs after release. Better for melee now
>>552349295She accidentally (?) summoned warp horros into my ship and she sound like a ticking time bomb?
>>552350017I may keep that for an alt build then.I'm trying to avoid the same builds I did last time.Also, Biomancy just gets hilarious with the buffs it hands out.
>>552349901Why is SHE there?
>>552349901Serx with Kira
>>552307341Sorry for being late, but no, it wasn't that. I made sure that loudspeaker was shouting morale-boosting hymns
>>552308596If you destroy one, the others seem to break pretty fast on their own. It seemed to take about three or four rounds for the other two to break once I broke the first one.I actually had Laarthyr on the chandelier when it broke since I was using him to break the chains, and I feared he'd just die when the chandelier dropped, but he thankfully ran off of it during the cutscene of it falling
Owlcat leaker here, the next IP will be dnd.
>>552351110Thanks for the info. I haven't gotten around to finishing that battle but I'll keep an eye out for that debuff
>>552351509>thankfully ran off of it during the cutscene of it fallingThat's good to know, I was wondering
Why is physical and magical power the same stat in pillars? Shouldn't it be separate like strength and willpower?
>>552352738Sawyer’s a retard, that’s why.
>>552335381>>552335797It's honestly quite hard to tell which one of them might have done it, since the Fleshshaper hides what kind of injury he has (we know that the laspistol must have given them a pretty bad burn), and the Warshaper is riddled with so many scars + he just fought with us against his deranged kin, so it's hard to say if any of his burns are from our colleague.I ended up accusing the Warshaper, as he never liked the agent unlike the Fleshshaper.
>>552353316Does it even matter?
>>552344841I like how muddled it feels at times, makes it feel like you're actually investigating and having to use your own noggin
>>552353316the game tells you who the correct culprit is in the archives of the case when you submit the final report at the end of the alpha.>>552353605in the alpha not really, but in the full game i imagine accusing or not accusing certain people will have rewards or consequences in-game beyond the ending slides for chapters. the ending slides differ slightly as well. i think you will be able to accuse the 'wrong' people intentionally to change stuff in the full game.
>>552353930>SpoilerChecked this, I didn't realise you could click on the crossed-out text to reveal the stuff beneath, I thought it was either not finished or there for that sort of [REDACTED] feel
I wish she was a companion
Kibellah just attacked a red explosive barrel as part of her blade dance...
>>552355463you played this game 1000 times
>>552355463Happens quite often in my experience
>>552355463>retard with a knife has a sperg out>wtf how did this happen?Come on
>>552355463The tenets demanded it.
>>552355463The Undying One whispered the serial numbers of those barrels
Pasqal sounds way too young. And he sounds like he's from South London He should sound like a cranky old professor
>>552358130Listen, when you replace your vocal cords with augmentics, you get to pick the voice.
The party is in pretty rough shape leaving the airport.Idira had a perils that killed her from full and spawned three blue horrors that killed us. If I was playing on single save mode it would have been pretty lame since it was also turn 1 with zero veil degradation and she was just casting Forewarning. It was as unlikely as it mathematically could have been.
>>552358361
Should I get this zesty nigga back in chapter 4? Do I lose something if I don't?Up until now I haven't enjoyed any of his scenes or dialogues.
>>552358130He's mostly a machine by now, he can sound however he wantsThough I wish he spoke in binharic more often>>552358361Stuff like this is why bringing Idira along feels a bit shit, at least early onStill want to do a playthrough where she's always present, thus far I've only ever used her until I get enough companions to drop her
>>552358918There's a fun planet that's apart of his quest. I don't know if it triggers if he's not there.
>>552358918Nobody ever talks about this guy so I doubt you’re missing much.He’s like the shapeshifter DLC companion in WoTR, literally who cares.
>>552358361It was funny when it happened to the enemy Idira
>>552358918Totally boring. The DLCs events are pretty good but he adds nothing
DA:O questionFor the warrior dual wield build, can I re-spect later in the game? because it seems that going dex right away might be not a good idea considering im gimping myself it seems with no access to anything that's not a dagger, or maybe ill just stick to shield+sword
>>552359351NTA but Ulbrig is actually quite good mechanically, and I liked his questSolomorne doesn't really have anything good or interesting going on apart from boarding the ship and going to the feudal world
I like Solomorne, but he is a little bland. Just a super cop who likes his dog. I like the feudal planet as well.
I still don't know if Lex was trying to show that the space cops are shit and retarded.
>>552359686Solomourne is fine, like Jimmy he gets better with romance. Plus his dlc is top tier
Wyll was better, at least he came with a sex demon and not just a dog.
>>552359905Most of RT is trying to show that the imperium is shit and retarded
>>552348020>Yrliet>Your waifu>Argenta>IdiraThat's all, you don't need a full partyIf Yrliet is your waifu, go with just her, Idira, and Argenta
>>552359845>I like the feudal planet as well.This, and boarding the Heartless. The law courts were meh
>>552360272Yeah but even more retarded.
>>552360589The tithe planet was fun
>>552360880Oh yeah that is good too, I forgot.
Maive should have been the new companion and the new class should have been something like a Bard, focused on rousing songs and speeches
>>552361458That's a great idea. It could be some kind of fellowship based class that buffs and inspires teammates. Maybe she could even rouse them for an extra turn.
>>552361458You want to throw a peasant maid onto the scary grimdark battlefield?
>>552361458>release gay negro companion>no one ever mentions himwhat were they thinking
>>552361809She's very brave
>no one ever mentions himUS femcels love him.
>>552361909Retards getting scared by seeing typical flirt options with a guy is a beautiful tradition. Thank you DA2.
>>552361702Maive's singing inspires everyone to fight harder for mankind, even Yrliet. Even Marazhai.
>>552362130and yet, 0 femcel posts in here
Is there a more detailed log where I can check more calculations so I can learn why Abelard didn't trigger Fleet Combat Training when he parried here?
>>552362130lol are you the same guy who tried to say women love Sosiel
Abelard, call Idira a slur
>>552363036Abelard loves black queens
>>552363036Could Theodora could make Abelard follow an order he fundamentally disagreed with. And you, Lord Captain, are not the equal of Theodora. Not yet.
The final fight in Kibellah questing is nuts. Range weapons are useless and those cultists gained extra turn whenever they hurt.
Abelard keeps forgetting to use Fleet Combat Training. It must be his old age...
>>552362387Sorry, I only talk about Jimmy
>>552362490>Is there a more detailed logNo. Small indie company, please understand
>>552365707You could report it as a bug by pressing ALT+B
>>552311703He's right that ego-stroking is a big problem not just in CRPGs but video games in general
This fight was actually pretty great. It's a battle of attrition and the Monstrous Creatures are more bark than bite.They key definitely is to stick close to the Blessed Cogitator.
Okay so im back and will finally be able to sit down and play for the rest of the week and next weekI'm the guy that was deciding between mage (girl) and warrior (man), I did the intro all the way the tower when the battle starts, mage, seems fun and broken but in a good way, warrior seem clunky as fuck and everyone keeps dying and don't know how to heal the concussions and stuff, but dunno if it gets better later with more party members and levels,Also how important are choices in the long run for other games? I know you don't play the same character so there's that, but Im playing this game so I can feel good about playing the 3rd one, dunno if Ill skip the second one
Ok so I've found what happened to the expedition workers. They're right here. But there's no new info appearing in the Detective Manual
We head into the bowels of the city with 14 injuries.
What's a better way to get into CRPGs?Would you recommend someone start with the newest ones and work backwards, or start with the old classics then move into the more modern stuff? Maybe alternating between old and new, or something like that.
>>552372067just play whatever looks fun or interesting to you
>>552370309It was a bloody great fight imo, but I'd say that those creatues definitely weren't just bark, those things hurt like hell once they got in striking distanceAlso realised that Saro's Flameweave thing that procs and increases Fire DoTs also does so on allies, so those flamer enemies and the like were actually surprisingly tricky to deal with, since in my experience Saro is quite weak if you can't proc his DoTs
>establish communication with my companions or the shipSo we do get a ship eventually
>>552371162
>>552372271One of the rewards for buying the version with the Alpha is "Guncutter Hub Customization Set", so I assume we get a ship of sorts to act as our base
>>552372119all of them do.
I'm thinking of jumping into underrail, any tips? I'm going in blind
>>552372479If you've never played any, then I'd recommend starting with something considered relatively easy to get to grips with.My first was DOS2, but many other modern ones like Rogue Trader, PoE or the Expedition games are relatively easy to get into as well. Nothing wrong with starting with more complex or older stuff like Pathfinder or BG1, but Pathfinder has a lot to learn at first, and BG1 uses an older edition of DnD not familiar to most these days
>>552372479My first crpg was DAO I think. Its about 15+ years old now so not that old and not that modern.
>>552371162This is fine.
>>552372271>>552372374Zerbe's base is not on the planet - it's a huge station on the orbit - you can see it on the world map. So I assume we're gonna be going to and fro using a shuttle
He's actually consistently not activating Fleet Combat Training. I've doubled checked that he has ammo and an offhand weapon every fight, as well as not stunned etc.
>>552373657
>>552373657Based on what some people on Fextralife are saying, it seems to be pretty iffy on parries, but usually works on critsI'm also finding some conflicting info on whether or not it works with pistols as you secondary weapon. Do you happen to have a second set of weapons on him? Having a two-handed weapon in another set might be breaking it as well
>>552372479Baldur's Gate 3 is a good way to get into CRPGs
I'm playing BG1 and been loving it so far, i can't wait to play BG3 after i finish BG2. Shit's must be real kino
>>552373494Oh yeah I know the one you mean. Neat. I hope there's a bit of space combat too.
>>552374401bg3 is barely connected
Even with two chances on the same turn he just sits there not doing it.>>552374183A pistol in the offhand works some portion of the time, like maybe 1/4th of the time. He's pretty consistently not doing it though. But doing it at all over 0% of the time means that a pistol is supposed to work.He has a chainsword and a stub revolver, and his second weapon set is just the power pick from the freight line by itself.I'm going to go ahead and mention it in a bug report. I was waiting to see if it was something on my end like he was getting stunned or was out of ammo or some variable but I've tested it over the entirety of Rykad Minoris fights and bonus fights and that's enough to see the pattern. It's not working on parries, but works most of the time on crits.
>>552374654nta, can I play BG2 directly or would I need to play BG1?
>>552311703he clearly wasn't since all of his games flopped since New Vegas
Is there a "lock camera to character" shortcut in DH or RT? My camera is locked to my guy after reloading and I want to be able to scroll around.
>>552375007But New Vegas didn't have romance
>>552374967iirc the story continues basically straight from where BG1 left off, so it would be better to play BG1 firstEven if it didn't they are a continuous story, so you'd be pretty lost if you only play BG2
>>552374654I don't mind. It's still a crpg, recently started getting into them, they are peak comfy
>>552374967You certainly can, which is what I did many years ago. I enjoyed it just fine. The introductory cinematic summarises the events of BG1 quite adequately.It might be a little jarring to be introduced to the characters without knowing them already.But the characters are hardly fleshed out at all in BG1 compared to 2 so you aren't actually missing much.Imagine watching Mad Max 2 without watching 1. It works perfectly fine since the tone is quite different, but if you have time you might prefer to start with 1.
>>552375029nvm I think it's just in the warp event
>>552375486>the story continues basically straight from where BG1 left off,It must be one guy repeating this because it's very misleading. The story of 1 is over, it's finished. I mean come on, be honest with people. There's a new antagonist, a new situation, and a new location. The only thing in common is your personal backstory and your companions.
Larry don't you recognize me, it's your ol' pal
I want to play BG3 so I can romance Shart but as I understand it the stories are all linked so I started with 1 and I'm getting murdered by these fucking ogresI'm coming Shart, hold on
>>552375073https://youtu.be/VfUmPrY1qQs?si=GaBUhTLR_8n_a8fA>inb4 ''doesn't count''
who else is high af right now? does this look about right for a ranger in skald?
>>552374967You don't NEED to, games weren't made like that in the early 21st century. Nor were most movies, they didn't have "cinematic universes" really. Fallout 2 and BG2 both stand on their own.
>>552376245and you will see they don't matter on bg3
>>552376461Can't read shit cap'n
>>552376461Looks good from what I remember of SkaldAlso nice to see you're still around, was wondering where you went
>>552376461Where have you been
>>552375961So in other words. it's a continuation of the same character's story.yeah. you need to play BG1 before BG2. It's why they let you import your character between the games.
Kibellah jumped here from the ground. It's all flat with the visual illusion of height but it's still funny
>>552376783How did everyone manage it in the year 2000? Because most of those people who played BG2 didn't play BG1.
I just got to Draconis in Throne of Bhaal.Just curious what strategy any of you used to beat his dragon form.I tried putting one tank as live bait with the rest of the party killing the human form from a distance, but he just ends up buffeting him back, and then insta-killing most of the party before I can even cast a lower resistance or time stop.I'm trying to go for the good old Lower Resistance X3, then feeblemind combo. But unfortunately, my guy with Time stop can't use Lower Resistance, so I've got to tag team with Imoen.At one point, I thought I could beat the system by putting feeblemind on the human form so he would still be tard-ified in dragon form, but I don't think it works like that.I haven't put an insane amount of tries into it yet, but I'm just curious of what some of you tried.
>>552374967BG2 is a direct continuation of 1. But the important continuing plot points of 1 can be easily summarized in a paragraph. The main moment to moment plot of 1, the Iron Crisis and the Iron Throne, gets resolved and has no impact going forward. Much of what you're doing in BG1 aside from that is generic adventuring and monster slaying. The importance of You, Sarevok, and Bhaal are the only elements you need to understand going forward. And BG2 makes sure to introduce that with the tutorial area. You'll wonder who the people you find nearby are, since a few companions carry over between games, but the game has a kind of semi-amnesia option built in and lets you ask "Who the fuck are you?" right at the start. Aside from that, all you're missing out on is extra context from the occasional cameo of other BG1 companions turned into quest NPCs.That said, BG1 is fun game in it's own right. It's just exploration focused with simpler combat rather than narrative focused with more complex combat. I enjoy replaying the whole thing except for Durlag's Tower basement level 2.
>>552374401They're all great games (not you SoD). But each one is very different in what it's good at.
I think I fucked up DHI'm in the shadow realm before I even recruited Ra'ahkti.
>>552376461Happy new year high af poster
shit no wonder the early game of skald was always so hard for me, i never checked around the mansion much since it was a tutorial area and i was missing out on a ton of free level 1 spells.
This is actually a bit cool. Trying to catch the attention of some kind of apparition, and your words get incorporated into them talking to each other.
>>552374967that's probably better but personally I played BG2 first way back then and it was fine
>>552377109I don't know how to tell you this but if you struggle with Draconis, you're going to come crying to mommy when it comes to the final boss
Did anyone actually encounter Laarthyr talking to an image of his past in the warp area? I encountered all of them except him.
>>552374967Just skip BG1. it's not really relevant for 2 and 2 is a way better game.
>>552379383If you mean the one where he refers to the other person as "my starlight" then yes, I encountered him after Ra'akhtiThough I don't think it's supposed to be his younger self, more likely a placeholder for now. It also answered something to Laarthyr afterwards, but it was just [redacted], which I actually saw a few times during the Alpha, so I reckon much of it is still placeholder and/or missing
>>552380773Got it. I only saw Cogg, Saro, Epione, and Haymar, then just an empty platform where Laarthyr should have been
Is it possible to romance jaheria in BG 2 without downloading the patch or using console commands ?I heard her romance is extremely hard to trigger
>>552382090Not at all, it should start very easily and early >I heard her romance is extremely hard to triggerNever heard anything like that
>>552382619i heard it's very bugged and it's not possible to complete her romance without console commands/editors
>>552383050If I remember right it's more that it takes a while to trigger and if you rush through chapter 2 and miss the harper quests you skip it
>>552383196Oh yeah that's rightAnd doesn't she leave for a bit? That might get tricky
>>552383264I think she was just gone for a rest or two last time I did her quests

>>552387020Did you fuck the drow matron
I'm at a loss with this guy, I just don't know how to progress finding out about his missing wife.
>>552388510me too, the only place I still haven't looked is that tomb, where you place that fingerbone to enter
>>552388593Well there was nothing related in there and it leads to the endgame.There's an option to talk to the War Shaper about it, but he won't talk to me on that matter. Maybe if I'd sent him the Ogryn he would talk but I chose not to.
I don't like being called a mon'keigh
>>552387329I bungled the scene where she is held at knife-point. My hubris was no no-gf'ing..
>>552388510I found his wife before meeting him.You can find her in a pile of Kroot corpses by the water on the bottome left corner of the Mechanical Tree part of the map, pretty close to the tomb. If you're lost, you should be able to find it by hugging the left-hand side of the map from the place from which you enter the areaYou can follow some footprints there, or just go there yourself. You probably need to pass a perception check though, as the pile of corpses is highlighted.
>>552388850Okay monkey.
>>552388973Thanks a lot bro, that's exactly what I will try
I like when she calls me mon'keigh when she gets mad or frustrated or hungry, but she gets over it quickly and goes back to elantach
>>552389049>>552389319It's an ethnic slur
>>552388973Thanks, found it. The footprints led right there and were scannable.
>>552389853quick, resuscitate her!
>>552389740That's why it's hot>devious xenos>foolish mon'keigh
>>552389853No problem bwo, glad to be of service
>>552390027>>552389853Yeah that was the key to blowing this whole case wide openI fed a little bit of it to Ra'akhti and her findings unlocked 3 new leads
>>552388887Oh yeah that would give her the ick
>>552390273I didn't have the heart to make Ra'akhti eat itThankfully you can get the same/similar results by telling the hunter where you found his wife, since he wants to collect her strands, meaning he eats her corpse
>>552390779In my version she was quite willing to eat it, because I "went to the spires first" and in the meantime she had gotten pretty sick of being banned from eating the flesh of her kin because she has cooties or whatever.I still haven't finished recruiting her
>>552390981I see, I went with the stable aquatic situation (i. e. didn't go to the Spires first), and she was very adamantly against eating her kinI do wonder how they'll make going to the Spires first a tempting choice, since based on the Alpha, the Spires seem to give you two levels and two companions, but that doesn't seem worth the worsened state of the Alpha's area, especially since you get three companions down there
>>552255508i genuinely dont understand what im supposed to choose for each level up in rogue trader. how do you determine what to choose?
>>552391238>stable aquatic situationThat's really interesting, in my version it was all "oh no a sea quake god-emperor help us"
>>552391278I have no idea either, so I just used thishttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3399032797
>>552391278Try reading ahead to subsequent levels and seeing what comes next. You'll find that it starts to make sense and you notice the way abilities feed back on each other and amplify.For example the bladedancer can use Medicae for as a combat stat, greatly boosting damage. You can see this by inspecting the choices at higher levels If all else fails read a guide to see what they do
>>552391278If you're willing to spend a bit longer at the beginning while levelling up, it's a good idea to read through all the feats and try to find the ones that seem to synergise with your build and/or give you the ability to do what you want>>552391336The stable version is pretty chill, the Baron and Kubi (or whatever the name of that diver lass was) are basically the only (local) NPCs who are actively worried about the next sea quake. The place just feels pretty Lovecraftian and you get a feeling that everyone knows that another quake is coming, but they're just trying to live without thinking about it.

Someone should study what went wrong with some of you
>>552377050I just played bg2 and picked up the story beats of everyone in the prologue. I did not once feel like I was behind by not playing bg1.

>>552377037I really wish Owlcat would upgrade from fucking Unity. Larian's environment design in combat is so much fucking better it's insane.I'm playing Expeditions Rome now and even it has better high ground mechanics than Owlcat. One day Owlcat will have proper high ground, LOS mechanics and destructible environments on par with XCOM/Larian and we will have the greatest CRPG ever made.
We need Obsidian to come back into the CRPG fold.
>>552396842>pillars 1 and 2 was ass>Tyranny was kino but blatantly unfinishedEven if they did come back I don't have high hopes for them. They're not coming back tho. Microshit would never fund a CRPG.
>>552396469Bestia is the best companion in that gamebased retard has all the best solutions, wish i didn't fuck up your quest
>>552394220It all started when I was a young boy watching cartoons on a Saturday night. Toonami had just come on, and after a day of watching various contemporary slapstick cartoons the cool 3d robot man had refreshed by mind and got my attention.Then they played Spirited Away, and the weight of a properly animated movie with exotic fantasy aspects crushed my tiny fragile mind. Ever since then my imagination has found reality to be abhorrently lacking, driving me further into reading, watching, and playing fantastical fiction. This of course made me an awkward and easily bullied target throughout school, despite having already being 5'10" in the 6th grade. This had a significantly negative impact on my social development which initially led to semi-edgy loner tendencies, then to an embarassing phase in an subject related to an unmentionable board here, and finally just becoming a video game nerd.Then I went to college for a really stupid degree, changed degrees, graduated early, and now live with my parents while working a boring office job and hobbying with an abhorrent number of Warhammer miniatures.Also one of my earliest remembered games is KOTOR, which is probably in some strange way what led to me being here.Anyways I hate Yrliet and consider her to be a direct insult to Eldar as a faction.
>>552388887what do you even do in that situation
>>552397038>This of course made me an awkward and easily bullied target throughout school, despite having already being 5'10" in the 6th gradeHoly fuck, you must've been especially pathetic personality-wise, namefag

>>552397165My family moved towns when i was between 3rd and 4th Grade, then again between 6th and 7th. I didn't really keep any friends between moves which just made me read more.So yeah I was a pretty much a weird scared book kid up until high school.Then I found the TTRPG club and it probably went downhill from there.
>>552397173Warhammer would be perfect for it too. Bolter bursts, grenades, thunder hammers, psy powers etc should have been a way to deal with cover and opening new paths on the battlefield.I'm hoping they expand on it a bit in Dark Heresy but I doubt it'll be too different.
>>552397165he is far more pathetic than that anon
>>552332008Where is that from, I gotta play that game
>>552397885Not certain but I'm assuming it's one of the older Expeditions games.

Which Mythic Path in WOTR is the most fun?
>>552400483that's probably bullshit, but I'll accept thatIt also makes Revan one sadistic mofo
>>552400669Fun in what way? immersion, combat, story?The "best" in terms of feeling like it's the "intended" route and has the whole package is Angel and it's not particularly close.Aeon also works fairly well but it's better as a second playthrough path imo.Haven't tried Azata so can't comment.Demon is the evil counterpart to Angel and is probably the most fleshed out Evil route.Lich is extremely fun in combat but feels a bit lacking in the immersion side.Trickster can't comment on.Late game paths are all memes so don't do them on first playthrough unless you're really into the concept.Also highly recommend NOT doing secret path on your first playthrough.
>>552400669Depends on your definition of funTrickster is memey and has a lot of zany stuff going on, as does Azata I don't like either of them due to thatAngel was fun to play, and there's joy to be had with Demon if you lean into the angry, raging brute thing
>>552396747I'm tech illiterate what does have to do with Unity
>>552401227Unity is more suited for simpler gamesalso, owlcat's programmers are ...not the best
>>552401227Rogue Trader is already breaking apart at the seams in a flat 2d game.If you ever played WotR, any map that's bigger than a small square like Drezen, Kenabres Market, Lost Chapel etc runs like complete ass. Unity isn't a particularly great engine for CRPGs. Just compare to Larian's games. DOS2's Act 1 or BG3 Act 1 basically has almost seamless maps whose size Owlcat never would be able to achieve on Unity.
I wish that another CRPG like Dragon Age: Origins would come along. That game was so damn solid.If only Bioware didn't seppuku itself.
>>552402172Yeah I really miss those 3 classes with no tactical depth and that uninspired worldbuilding and the Joss Whedon dialogue and that Fade section and the endless Deep Road trash mobs and those shitty DLCs and that crappy expansion pack and who could forget those dreadful sequels Can we be honest and admit the game isn't that good?
>>552400669Demon imo, great mix of fun and serious plotAngel also great just more on the serious sideI heard Aeon is also interesting just also very serious about itAzata and Trickster seemed like the very silly side of "fun" which was a bit too much for me so I didn't finish a playthrough with them
Fewer classes = more classesQuality > Quantity
>>552406147counterpoint: dragon age
>>552374967I really don't understand so many people recommending to skip BG1. They're not THAT drastically different, BG2 came out 2 years later, same engine, same mechanics, all that.If you like BG2 you will almost certainly like BG1 and vice versa. It seems so bizarre to me that so many people suggest to skip 1. In some ways I think it's the more enjoyable of the two in fact: better feeling of open exploration, more interesting narrative arc imo. I've heard others share this opinion too so it's not like completely universal that BG2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BG1 or something. It just always seems strange to me.
>>552333805I liked the questoning with the Harpers and the answers you could give.
>>552406946The relevance of BG1 to the plot of BG2 can be summed up in like 4 sentences.
>>552407428So? You can reduce most works down like that. And besides, that has nothing to do with the game being enjoyable.
>>552333805>BG2 was the first to do these unfunny retarded jokesNo, BG1 was
>>552407839My hotel's clean as an elven arse
>>552407637It's enjoyable if it's the first CRPG you ever play. Compared to the CRPGs that came after it, it's lacking in a tonne of things that people like. Hell its sequel blows it out in practically every single department. BG1 is only really worth playing as a history piece. BG2 is worth playing because it's still a good fucking game.
>>552406946>>552407637low level-only adventures are not enjoyableit makes it feel like a cheap and barely relevant prequel in hindsight
>>552408475That's your opinion. I still prefer BG1 over BG2 and in fact stopped my recent replay only a bit after starting BG2. The plot is thin and immediately thrown in your face, Irenicus is way overvalued as a villain, besides the initial jumble of quests thrown at you the game is a linear railroad, there's no sense of exploration just "go to this place".It's a great game for sure, but people hold it on too high a pedastal especially when minimizing BG1. I sometimes wonder if people don't even realize that they're the same engine and art and everything, and play basically exactly the same.
>same art

also i crit myself with last rites for an instakill lol
>>552411430The portraits in BG1 weren't fixed. If you chose for example Imoen's portrait, Imoen just got another.During my first run I chose Jaheira's default portrait and when I met her, she had another (the one with the lady from a side angle, wearing heavy armor and holding a sword). For a long time, Jaheira looked totally difference for me than she was supposed to.
if we made idira stand next to a blank would it make her condition worse or better
>>552416906the nice thing about being at rock bottom all the time means things can only get better!
>>552416546Of all things for CRPGs to skimp out on, that is one of the absolute stupidest. Same thing with Owlcat, but many other studios, it's just retarded to do it that way. You design a character and have exactly one option for the representation you'll be seeing in most detail? Unjustifiable.
>>552416546Yeah I used Viconia's BG1 portrait throughout, should have had more options that weren't already npc portraits.
>>552416906blanks make everyone feel like shit, even non psykers, so Idira would be screaming in pain lol
I refuse to say "melta". I say melter like a non-retard.
Finished WotR and hated how at the high difficulties it boiled down to "did you pre-buff for every fight ever". Did BG1/2 have that same issue?
>>552418978
>>552418978Melta has nothing to with melting thoughbeit.Just like Land Raider doesn't raid lands.
>>552419740Both games just added stats to enemies but not really to the same extent.
>>552419740No. There is actually far more strategy involved in BG2 mage battles.
>>552419740PF isn't supposed to be played above Core
Post that gif/webm of Cam shaking her head like a wet dog
>>552421058
>>552422654What did she mean by this?
>>552418978Ok, retard
>>552422654>>552422940Isn't this more of a "disposition" thing where if you pick certain lines you get different animations? I think this is the CE animation.
>>552419740No because casting time significantly cuts into the duration of buffs. You generally have maybe 1-2 very long lasting ones like mage armor or stoneskin or something, and if you're in a place you know is dangerous maybe throw an extra thing on. But buffing is generally during combat (this is a very common use for Sanctuary for instance) or directly before.
>>552423157I think companions take the idle animation of their most leveled class, that Cam was an instinctual warrior barb so she acted like one
>>552423157No. It's a class thing. Different classes have different animations
>>552423321Yeah I think you're right, it's mostly a class thing.
>>552413676can you have sex in sonora ?if not then I am not interested
Thoughts on titan fighter angel? I only enjoy melee builds in WoTR and want to replay the angel mythic path. I want to try out the last dlc archetypes I heard that gestalt builds can be fun as well.
Should I finally buy BG3?Seems the discount won’t get better anytime soon
>>552428285it's woke
>>552428285its sleepy
>>552428386Don’t really care about that desu
>>552413676It's on my playlist. I've heard a lot of good thigns about it, and I can play it in Russian, so I won't have to deal with wonky translation
>>552428285yea its fun and theres tons of mods if you don't like something
>>552428285It's ok. The first act is great. You can play beyond it, but the quality drops into the abyss
>>5524280071 level dip for casters
>>552428796Lizardmen look so fucking retarded.
>>552411430>>552414028Honestly a case where I prefer using AI filtered portraits to make BG1 and BG2 portraits more cohesive while still maintaining the overall design of each. It also makes it much easier to find a player character portrait that stylistically fits with everyone else on the UI. I always hated when people would use photos or anime art with the BG2 companion portraits.
>>552428285Why did you wait 2+ years when you could pirate it on day 1? Are you stupid?
>>552428992Pft, she really does have that AI porn face lol.
>>552429565Eh. It's not like original BG2 has the high ground here. For example, Nalia is just Drew Barrymore and Valygar is Vin Diesel.
I just noticed that I can completely buy out every item from the factions in Rogue Trader without my profit factor going down. Is that suppose to happen or is it a very fortunate bug in my game?
>>552429993Goddammit anon. I always noticed Nalia looked like Drew Barrymore, but now I can never unsee Vin Diesel in Valygar
>>552431095You're Welcome
>>552413576This.It's all noggers, aliens and troons jfc
>>552431386But worst of all - wömen
>>552431547Femcel trader in all her splendour
>>552430858that's not a bug
>>552430858It's intended and weird.DH is a regular monetary system
>>552428992>Honestly a case where I prefer using AI filtered portraits to make BG1 and BG2 portraits more cohesive You're soulless.
>>552432979Crpgs truly aren’t ever allowed to do anything different
>>552428992The Dungeon Meshi art is sovful compared to that
>>552428992>shoved her tits all the way up to her neck
Imoen
>>552433965You HAVE to see her tits anon.
>>552433995Replaced
>>552411430I like that even bg3 called back to her old portrait
>>552428285yep, it's great
khalid bros...
>>552434712Rotting and forgotten in a ditch somewhere.
Camellia's boobs
>>552432462>>552432979Then wtf is the point of getting a 10% discount? OwlKEK really living up to their name again.
Camellia's corpse
>>552434565is BG3 Jaheira fertile?
>>552434929It lowers the required "price" of the items on the list I guess.
Camellia's Camellia
>>552435038no, why do you think she adopted those kids?
>>552434929Retard
>>552435038Look at this and ask that question again
>>552434929It means it's easier to reach the threshold. >You have 45 PF>Normally you couldn't afford the 50 PF Chainsword of Maiming >But Ol' Ryzza gives a 10% discount to her special friends >Now you can afford it
Reminder that Jaheira BG3 romance was cut due to time and not lack of desire
>>552435310I can't play BG3 because everyone has iphone-face
Does BG3 have any gameplay? I only ever see closeups of the characters faces like in >>552435310
>>552435529>implying Jaheira doesn't have eyes only for the Bhaalspawn
>>552435896No, there isn't. It's just those close ups. Really weird really, but there really is no gameplay.
what Expeditions game to start with? any worth skipping?
>>552435909>first husband died>second husband died/ascended>now on the prowl for the thirdface it anon, she's a man eater
>>552436171Play Rome and praise cats
Imoen wasn't included in BG3 because she would have mogged all of Larian's OCs
>>552435662What is Iphone face>>552435896Yeah uh combat screenshots hard to tell whats happening
>>552436358>What is Iphone faceBogged, modern. Has seen an iPhone
>>552436192>she's a man eateroh-oh here she comes
>>552435529I would have smashed grandma
>>552436171I would start with 33, then Rome.>>552434929>>552430858It's an abstraction. When your dynasty hits a certain wealth threshold, your dynasty as an entity trades various assets with the entity the vendor represents, and you personally can just take all of the stuff at that profit factor threshold as part of that relationship.I do like that they tried something different, but at the end of the day, you're still rifling through the garbage for trade goods, which is effectively the same as rifling through the garbage for Gold Coins like every other game. It was a nice idea, and is a nod to the item acquisition system in the tabletop rulebook, but it ended up not being meaningfully different, so for DH they do cut out the middleman and go back to just rifling through the garbage for Gold Coins directly again.
>>552434565>can't fug the hagbg3 is shit. SHIT!
>>552437520
>>552437520>I do like that they tried something differentEh, it's really no different from your regular reputation/relationship threshold shit. I'm surprised they haven't just automatically handed it out to you because at that point, why wouldn't you want free stuff? It isn't like having heretical items in your inventory is a problem.
Need a drow gf so bad bros...
>>552437912Play bg2
bg1 fucking sucks and is overrated. if it didn't lead into bg2 it wouldn't be remembered at all
>>552437802Honestly, slap lipstick on that pig and she's fine
Actually, bg1 is underrated and bg2 is overrated. They're both good though.
>>552438875>bg1 underratedhow?>bg2 overratedsure
>>552437912Nathyrra, Viconia, and Minthara are all cool and have nice romances. Different from each other too, which is nice.
Need halfling husband so bad sisters...
>>552439794shadowheart x minthara <3
>>552440019No one says this.
>>552440069bg2 girls say this.
>>552439794based drow connoisseur. I've never done nathyrra since I never got around to nwn but I suppose I will
>>552440236dwarf?
>>552439794>minthara>generic evil bad guywhats the appeal
>>552440362Ew
>>552440403essay generating
>>552440362bioware must have had some grudge against dwarf players because male dwarf pcs have no romance options
>>552440362Cocks too thick I guess.
>>552440362Ugly-short, not cute-short
>>552440707Dopey is pretty cute however.
>>552440575Gayder.....
>>552440403She's not a generic evil bad guy, she actually has a lot of beliefs that are contrary to the culture she grew up in while still being evil, which is interesting, and makes a good romantic partner and a reasonable LE monarch, which is also unique among her culture. She has to deal with pride and how it made her fall, and she retains being evil but in a way that still opposes various figures in the city and the cult. She offers evil endings to the game that are still opposed to the cult, and it's incredibly rare for a game to have a happy ending with an evil character. She's actually a pretty cool character, even with waifuism aside.
>>552440797He's actually a gnome
>>552441304Can you post your other paragraph here
>>552437520>I would start with 33, then Rome.Heh.
How is the dragon age origins steam port?
i hope owlcat ignores the dnd tard poll
>>552441572It was okay when I last tried but I heard it had issues
>>552428992There used to be a collection of portraits in the style of BG2 with faces from Hollywood actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Angelina Jolie, Seth Green, Alicia Silverstone and many many more. They were pretty well done, but hard to find nowadays.
>>552440362Elf/Dwarf romances are a big no-no, not sure why a female Dwarf can't romance Amonmen though.
>>552441304I liked minthara. probably the only actual evil party member since everyone else is pushed towards good in their story even if they start evil like frog and shart
Why wasn't idira romanceable?
>>552442528Her gf wouldn't approve this
>>552442528theodoraed
>>552442634Wholesome yuri that the player can never have

>>552443934It's domin, you dummy

>>552444149Master-sama want me to suck your dick?
> start playing DH> xeno corsair keeps calling acolyte a kidI guess owlkeks want to make pedo romance now, lol.Btw, companions are all boring except Capo, pyromancer is based
>>552440362disgusting
>>552443703He said cute and wholesome, not disgusting and ugly
>>552443934She stops you from doing that
>>552444572It's 'massa'
>>552444737This is why no crpg will ever let you fuck a midget woman
>>552444794does she? I was to scaaawed to click that option
>>552445002Swen will deliver in a decade or two
>>552445018Yeah she grabs your wrist firmly and says "the instruments are for testing the spirit, not mutilating the body" or words to that effect
>>552443108>>552443424Yrliet x Jae is canonical
>>552445656kek
>>552444525They both had a shitty overbearing evil goddess telling them what to do for most of their lives, and they both understand each other for getting out of that situation. Minthara says Shart is better off without Shar, and underneath belittling her a little bit as part of her persona of belittling people, you can tell Minth understands and approves. I don't think their relationship would be very romantic, but I could see Minth mentoring Shart regarding how to make a new life for herself after ditching the structure they used to live by, since Minth had to do the same thing. One of the things I like about Minth is that she would absolutely deny it, but she actually does take a small liking to most of the party and is willing to give them advice. Even Gale, who she makes a show of antagonizing, but in a scene at the end of the game she shows she's doing it for his benefit. Or Lae'zel and Karlach, who she doesn't even deny liking and is openly complimentary towards them.So shipping them romantically doesn't fit very well, but I do see them being friends and connecting through their shared, quite similar, experience.
>>552445810Whos this vtuber you like
>>552445656Even Jae can detect her autism
>>552445810good post. I love the scene where her and gale hug each other
Minthara, my throatGOAT...
>>552445810is that you Mintharafag?
>>552446828I take a walk every day, I manage two small businesses, I run games at my local tabletop game store multiple times a week, and I cook for myself and do regular yardwork and all the usual homeowner stuff as well. You can do whatever you want with proper time management. Lots of people just unknowingly waste lots of time throughout the day, often in the form of commuting in a car or waiting, or on the cell phone.What do you think?
>>552446828duh he's active here
I would let Minthara rape me.
>im not like other girls the character I do not get the appeal to romancing her.
>>552447213https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/search/text/I%20manage%20two%20small%20businesses/????
>>552447843He only likes Minthara because Shart cucked him
>>552448825And that's a reasonable reaction. Imagine still liking somebody after that.
>>552447843He only likes yirlet because she is an elf.
>>552447871NDS (Namefag derangement syndrome) is a pejorative term used to describe negative reactions to /bgg/ namefag that are characterized as irrational and disconnected from the namefag's actual post content.
>>552449358Trying to use the TDS m for yourself embarrassing
>>552449561but not as embarrassing as stalking a poster to another general to copypaste their posts
>>552433650No argument. But sometimes I don't want anime style portraits.
I don't get the point of obsessing over crpg romances. Women with personalities like jaheria,shadowheart,jae or yirlet dont exist irl.

>>552450137>/crpgg/ is not for low quality posts about your romantic attraction to characters, voice actors, or avataring.I just realized this applies directly to you kek
>>552445002First PoE = Sex the dwarf girl at the brothel with high endurance and dexterity and you can convince her to move in with you at Caed Nua, even stays in your bedroomDeadfire = Have dwarf girls on your crew, get the sailing event where a randomly selected crew member tries to fuck you and accept
>>552434929>>552430858Think of it this way. You can probably go buy 100 tacos and it doesn't significantly impact your finances either way, but buying just one car is a big deal that you have to plan for and would limit your ability to make other purchases. A billionaire can buy 100 of those cars on a whim without it mattering, and for them a "significant purchase" is more like a megayacht, an island, or a company. It's a way to abstract massive weath by just saying "once you hit particular thresholds much smaller purchases become effectively unlimited." For the player there's no point in tracking each bit of money in and out. Your "money in" is in interstellar trade deals, buying 50 Drukhari sex toys doesn't rate. The "discount" is making the it so that you hit that "this doesn't impact my finances" threshold at a lower profit factor.
