>Marazhai is terrible and I should kill him for being a liability>keep him anyways out of curiosity and because I like his voiceI am sorry Abelard
NO FISH ALLOWEDNo Morrigan or Leliana either.
This tent fight was rough, had to actually start using buff potions for this one. The mass confusion spell fucked over most of my characters but Jaheira heroically tanked everyone while Kivan and Imoen put them down.
>>553368775Pull yourself together, Rook. Lives depend on you.
>>553369126>Abelard>Abe LARDI can't take the guy seriously because of the name
>>553369126based
>>553369293>NeeraWhy do you eat shit out of your own free will?
>>553369126he's too much fun to not keep around
>>553369293Command is nice to have on hand, 1st level and quick to cast. I used it a lot when I played with a two-handed kensai and a powerful berserking sword. Mistakes were sometimes made, but overall it worked nicely.
>>553364540The trick is to steal the wand of lightening from the beregost noble's mansion and use its charges against the vampire wolf and hopefully kill some of its friends in the process. you clear the map and kite.its a huge early game boost in xp if you can pull it off.
>>553368775why did they steal the enemy design from poe2
We love fish women here.
>>553369475Don't have lots of options for solo mages that'd work with a good-aligned party. I tried out Xan but didn't care for his playstyle. Dynaheir comes with an annoying hanger-on I'd have to ditch Kivan for, and I'm not gonna ditch my bro.
>>553369475Minsc is 100x worse than Neera, deal with it grogtard.
>>553369690No we don't. Cassia is a manipulative bitch.
>>553369720It makes even more sense to take evil party members when you're playing a good character because then you're stopping them from doing the evil things they'd otherwise be doing on their own.
>>553369720>Kivan>anyone's bro Good joke.
>>553369720>Kivan>I'm not gonna ditch my broI'll tell you something in spoiler because it's not really story-relevant but more just coded badly imoHe will leave if you don't help him with his "quest" which is like, quite a ways down the road. It's actually quite difficult to naturally keep him in the party without knowing this.You have 20 days from when you recruited him, I believe.
>>553369983Better than fucking bald Richard Gere>>553370068Already figured that out and managed to keep him but thanks anyway.
>>553369126The Abelard thing only happens if you go out of your way to be extra nice to Marazhai and he regains his cabalIn the regular ending for him it doesn't happen
>>553369720>I tried out Xan but didn't care for his playstyle.You don't care for enchantment spells?To the extent you'd bring a wildmage into the party who is as annoying as neera? But they're great!Also you can let minsc die and then remove him from the party to keep dynaheir
>>553370193>spoilernta but that's meta and soulless though
>>553370120>Better than fucking bald Richard GereNah, not better at all.
I wanna smooch her.
I love Minsc and his space hamster XD>Butt-kicking for goodness!lolol so randummmm XDDD
The solastafag really left a bitter taste in my mouth, I'm not going to play a game so ugly that is loved by someone who is a gigantic faggot
>stat improvements start branchingNeat
>>553370632>basing your game decisions on how you feel about someone else who plays itExtremely womanly.I have enjoyed seeing more of Solasta and wishlisted it for the next sale actually
>>553369725It's so fucking annoying that Larian brought back BG1 and BG2 characters back, like it's clear they fucking hate them Minsc existing in BG3 added NOTHING, no one fucking asked for him to become a fucking parody of himselfSame goes for SHARTheira and Viconia who became Jeff Goldblum lookalike just because making her hot would upset Shadowshart fagsIt all just reek of intentional maliceBut then again Larian deepthroated the Three Stooges making them the actual villains instead of properly doing illithid plot
Is Revan right in his analysis?
>>553371028>he does it for freepeople can see through your shitty shilling faggot
>>553370632>The solastafag really left a bitter taste in my mouthWell, try swallowing, he didn't ask you to keep the load in your mouth
CRPGs need more snake women.
>>553371130Part 2
>>553370839punished rook, a hunter denied his daughter
>>553371130>>553371327>discord screencapsHow about you kill yourself you retarded faggot
>>553371452>t.seething Yrlitard
>>553369126this but with idira
>>553371130>>553371327not crpg, mods DO SOMETHING
Should I go see Nyrissa or upgrade my barony first?
>>553371130>>553371327No, he's retarded Fictional characters don't have consent They are galley slaves
>>553370124my Marazhai gets stuffed in the broom-closet during warps so he doesn't kill my crewI already decided I have standards
>>553371130>>553371327lol
>>553371749Just be yourself
>>553371749you should totally trust the fae that just told you to meet her alone in a secluded place so she could give you a super secret special reward
>>553371851That should be fine then. He should end up as a corsair but leave Abelard alone
>>553371130>>553371327No, that’s stupid. And if that’s the standard he’s going to hold AO3 needs to be immediately nuked from orbit.
There is something special about importing characters and continuing on the adventure. Game already mixing up which one of my characters did what in recap cinematic tho kekHope one day we will have a proper huge trilogy of CRPGs, with continues stories and reoccurring characters. Owlcat pls, Old World WHF CRPG when, no age of smegmar pls
Liberals have more empathy for fictional characters, rocks, and abstract concepts than they do for real humans of their own race.
Yrliet is the quintessential Eldar, and a good example of why everyone wants to hatefuck them.
>>553372265to be fair she was always a doomer, she just tries to hide it/change to be less if one in origins
I can't believe liberals are shitting on MY raztard x yrliet anal art
>>553372265Stop digging up ancient pictures, we're not a museum.
>>553372417all we do is play old games though...
>>553372390Revan is right leaning btw kek
>>553372325the human race?
>>553372310What's your final review of Solasta's main campaign? Must be somewhat favorable if you're on to Palace of Ice
What if Bioware's next CRPG... is good?
>>553372265Punished Lels, a woman denied her husbando...
>>553372265Why is Imoen in Dragon Age idgi
>>553372265I like the change. I like making her Divine too for the full turn around.
>>553371116>to become a fucking parody of himself>becomek
>>553371130>>553371327Hold up, he may have a point. What if Raszard was so mindbroken by Yrliet not letting him smash or have any physical intimacy with her in the romance he decided to do this as revenge as an elffag - "if they game won't let me have my elffu I'll rewrite her"?
>>553372579>Bioware's next CRPGWhen was their last crpg? DAI...? That was over 10 years ago.
>>553372625She reincarnated trying to escape her fate of being relentlessly bullied by the universe She failed
>start a conversation with leliana with how dalish and humans should get along more>by the end of the talk she accidentally does a causal racism of my PROVD DALISH HERITAGE>racial relations imperporably destroyedwhy is leliana like this
>>553371130>>553371327Is Razsard /our/ guy for making these people really mad by just drawing stuff of his favorite dolly?Also, this general is now about Yrliet, please discuss in groups if Eldar and Human can be together in canon
>>553372619you mean her waifu (my PC)
>>553372782>What if Raszard was so mindbrokenHe is genuinely mentally ill.
>>553372885>Is random redditor faggot /our/ guyneck yourself asap
>>553372869Shes from the most racist country (France), you can put her in her place though
>>553372885No. No.
>>553372885The closest you can get to a romantic relationship with an eldar is an obsessive adversarial one where she lives to troll/battle you. Yrliet will never have as much sexual tension with a human as Macha has with Angelos, for instance.
>>553372885he's literally just a lolcow fed too much encouragment.
>>553372869Because she's a silly french bard who hears voices in her head. Your honor, oopsie-daisy.But to be fair, that's not really surprising. She was literally raised in a culture where elves being servants was completely normalised and even seen as a good thing, then migrated to a country where elves are barely visible outside of ghettos. It would be weird if she out of nowhere had an epiphany somewhere offscreen.
>>553373031you are not a real general if you don't have your dedicated drawfag lurking and posting stuff until he becomes big on another platform and start earning money through patreon
>>553373406raszard art is hideous not sure who would buy his garbage besides you
Leliana and Morrigan aged terribly they were so walled in Inquisition lol
>>553373406What the fuck are you mumbling about you ruskie cuck?
>>553373352don't get me wrong, I do think its a good moment. I like when crpgs give you special interactions based off your character's background and it was a funny moment
>>553373297>tfw an elf lady will never look at you like that after trying to kill you
>>553373537simply wrong?
>>553373406Who the fuck is willing to be a drawfag these days when ai is completely taking over that field
>>553373805BUCC'd
>>553373835ai is incredibly sovlless though
>>553372885>>553373297you can still fuck Larry and Marzipanyou even get to top
>>553373557It's a shame dalish origin gets fuckall in terms of interactions after Ostagar. You can troll the noble lady in Redcliff, tell Leliana that you don't think being a slave is a good thing, talk about mages in your clan with Morrigan and... That's it, IIRC. Even in Bresilian Forest during the whole werewolf debacle your dalish origins are mentioned like once or twice and you don't even get any unique dialogue options.
>>553373927when you kiss Marz he gets disgusted by it though
>>553373909Least it's ass for 3d I've tried the shit meta put out it just makes point clouds with no edge quality, takes a long time to do it, and working with poi t clouds is ass
who the fuck is Macha I only know about Yrliet
>>553373805I think the high collar's design together with the cowl make her face appear longer than it actually is, especially since Leliana often inclines her head when talking.
>>553373909Yeah but it gives you something you only need better than ai for key pieces now and everytime the cutoff for being better than ai draws shorter
>>553374228>two ugly french whores
>>553374061You can force him later to kiss you and he doeshttps://youtu.be/L9GXP3_TuUI?si=dggnlm4BGj_z6c1i
>>553374228crackship
>>553374061I think it's hilarious how Eldar will fuck anything but humans. They think that orks and tau are more attractive than humans. They'll even fuck giant snake people. Physically, Eldar and humans are the two most similar looking species, yet in universe, think of each other as the most repulsive.
>>553374295josephine is more spanish thoborn in antiva and was in their orlesian embassy
>>553374368Probably to counterpart with dnd where it's commonplace to have cross elf/human and they have their own feats and race
>>553374110Macha is that other space-elf you can acquire on your trip to cumragyou get TWO space elves, but you have to take Macha/Marzipan out for regular walks, or he becomes madand when you get bored of either one Jimmy will take them to the xeno farm, which is a nice place in the empire for abandoned sanctioned xenos
>>553374308Eh, it's not really a ship, more like Leliana watching over her friend like big (slightly crazy) sister.
>>553373003Like doctor 4chan mentally ill or actually diagnosed mentally unwell.
>>553374228I miss DA...
Is there any crpg centered around the occult? off the top of my head I can only think of is Vtmb
>I think it's hilarious how Eldar will fuck anything but humans. They think that orks and tau are more attractive than humans. They'll even fuck giant snake people. Physically, Eldar and humans are the two most similar looking species, yet in universe, think of each other as the most repulsive
>>553374478Are you retarded on purpose?Macha is the Farseer from the Dawn of War games. Nothing to do with Marazhai.
>>553374368Marz has no issue fucking you. He just doesn't want to kiss at first. We will see if Larry is the same.
>>553372782>Yrliet not letting him smashAnon She's a fictional characterHe can rewrite the character however he pleasesThat's how writing works
>>553374228I remember romancing Josephine and she was so bland I can't even remember what her character was, at least the Yrliet blue balling had a climax with her viewing you as an equal in the end
how does Wrath compared to Kingmaker in terms of difficulty?
>>553374508my favorite fantasy RPG seriesshame it ended in 2015
>>553374536>I would rather an entirely alien species than something that hits uncanny valleyFrankly I get it.
>>553374652but that's not a CRPG, isn't there a real-time strategy general for you?
>>553374368Uncanny valleyHumans look almost exactly like an Eldar, but not quite And the different psychic imprint
>>553374368>Physically, Eldar and humans are the two most similar looking species, yet in universe, think of each other as the most repulsive.It goes beyond that. Humans and Eldar share the same body language. They cry, they smile, they frown, they laugh, they hug and kiss, all in the same manner as a human would in the same context that a human would. This is notable as other xeno species emote in radically different ways. Tau, for instance, do not smile or smirk. It's something that they can learn, but they naturally don't express happiness that way.
do Eldar fart?
>>553374676Larry will kiss the female acolyte, but immediately regret it, not because you're a human, but because of his wife
>>553374752Same it hurts
>>553374952>>553374870When looking at the models in Rogue Trader Eldar have this weird lanky bodies, it's like everything that makes humans has been elongatedI think they look kinda weird and I'm frankly worried about y'allyou guys watched too much sailor moon?
>>553374503I doubt he got diagnosed since he lives in a third world shithole, but he's autistic in the most genuine and unpleasant way.
>>553374731easier after the first act because mythic powers are really strong and if you build the right infrastructure you can rest on the map near your towns with no risk of raising corruption (the deterrent meter to counteract rest spam)
>>553375124maybe one day...
>>553375003Yes, but not methane. They fart pure carbon dioxide
>>553374952>Tau, for instance, do not smile or smirk. It's something that they can learn, but they naturally don't express happiness that way.Because they don't feel happiness.
>*walks ten steps* I... need to catch my breath!
btw this asshole mysterious ranger guy that kept reappearing and the only NPS who had a Legendary Quest is voiced by and kind of looks like CohhCarnage youtuber. At least he isn't as obnoxious as the Kingmakers self-insert, just sort of an asshole. Honestly Cohh sounds way better than majority of actors in the game, so his sassy drunk quips from the background are appreciated. >>553372574I haven't reflected on it much yet, but sure.Gameplay overall is good and varied. It gets going with original ideas and mechanics from the start and never stops. DnD system itself is obviously very basic, but the tactical gameplay enhances significantly. I've bumped the difficulty to Hard after early levels and it became quite challenging. Enemies became aggressive, not solely focusing tanks and always trying to push me off cliffs. If my character was vulnerable they tried to capitalize, got sketchy in places. Tanky HP on some enemies for my suboptimal builds. Often resulted in a slapping brawl by the end, since spells for DPS weren't enough. Overall gameplay is substantial and that's the main thing I'm here for.Story is generic, but at least you get to visit distinct places and your party banters a lot, very charming B movie dialog. The ending sort of happened, felt left unresolved. There was no specific main evil guy and they were absent for majority of the game. Not even travel ambushes. You just save the world and "main threat is still looming in the dark we'll need you again one day, hero". I can feel that the DLC is a proper closure to the story,. That's the main motivation to continue playing for now. Also curious about higher level encounters.Also also quite a lot of dragons were involved, seen and fought, very nice.
I tend to kill Marz without even recruiting him because he kills people on my crew. And saying "well people die every warp jump anyway" isn't a valid response, because just because X people die, doesn't mean it's suddenly ok for you to add X+Y to that number. That logic can be taken further to justify anything, so you should know it's not logical.I also tend to not really like that he's disrespectful towards the people on my crew. He's more respectful than Yrliet, sure, but that doesn't stop him from his forms of disrespect.However, while thinking about the reasons why I don't recruit Marz, I realize that many of them apply to Idira as well. She also gets Y number of crew killed by accident. She invites demons on board, and it's not the first time she's done that. She is also outright disrespectful towards some of my party, like saying "not so sanctimonious now" when Argenta is injured in combat. In an actual combat situation, if they survived the mission, I would immediately court martial the person who said that and they would be off the team forever. Even without the warp problems and getting crew members killed.And you know what the funniest part is? Idira doesn't even do her job. There's only several fights through the game where she actually converts a surprise round into a normal round. She does not warn you about Yrliet's betrayal. She does not warn you about the genestealers. She does not warn you about anything meaningful. Even though she's better off dead, for the record, she also failed to warn Theodora.If someone is mouthing off like she does, outright disrespect for a religious figure, not even doing the one thing we keep her around for which is divine the future to warn us about stuff, and gets potentially hundreds or thousands of crew killed with her warp antics, a logical person would not keep her around. We only keep her around because it's a videogame and we know she has a story and we're not actually responsible for real crew members.
>>553374228I'm still mad about the lack of Josephine sex.
>>553374752God she's so smoochable. Her and Morrigan just quietly mogging every other woman in Inquisition
>>553374731They both have a big page of difficulty settings and a bunch of default settings so I don't really understand the question.
>>553375459You will never be a woman or sister
>>553375003Their guts are different, we don't know
>>553375451>the Kingmakers self-insertWho?
>>553374870>And the different psychic imprintIt's mostly this. There are humans who Eldar find to be physically attractive, but the way we move, and our psychic imprints are repulses them. An Eldar places much more emphasis on a person's warp shadow than they do on their materium self. Think about the reaction people in the Imperium have to blanks, them amplify that. That's what it's like for an Eldar dealing with the average human. About the only humans Eldar think are hot are primarchs, and the humanity of primarchs is hotly debated anyway.>>553375142To be fair, for a long time, Eldar were supposed to be extremely attractive, like fantasy elf. The renewed push to alienfy them is recent. Most 40k characters, even the humans, are pretty hideous anyway.
>>553375368Skill issue, invest more in Nature Lore
>>553375142Oh that's just owlcat, the skinny strip of jerky look isn't lore accurate
If Nenio ain't a regular in your party, you're a fag
>>553319243>that is not a tummyHow is this?
>>553375739>Most 40k characters, even the humans, are pretty hideous anyway.Sororitas minis... El creatura goblina...
>>553375459true but to be fair this applies to a few others people take for granted in other games too. morrigan is a swamp witch, sten is a qunari, red prince is a terrible person, astarion is a vampire, shart is a sharran, many others. videogame players don't approach things logically but that's normalized
When you play a CRPG you should ask yourself, "What would Sarevok do?"
>>553375664Darven and Hellknights quest
>>553375910Now how about posting a canon picture instead?
>>553375739>Most 40k characters, even the humans, are pretty hideous anyway.rude and untrue
>>553375910
>>553375524except sera of course
>>553376020Based.We love Nenio here.
Its a case of different media making them look different. I know you fags gush about sexy eldar/sister waifus but both factions look hideous in their models.
>>553375459>Even though she's better off dead, for the record, she also failed to warn Theodora.Yeah and she beats herself up over it "why did I not foresee" etcIt's a clue as to the identity of the culprit
>>553369316But what do they matter if the most important life has been lost
>>553375739>there are humans that Eldar find physically attractiveNo. What they find pretty about each other we don't have or in grotesque versions. Yeah in the same way that there are grannyfuckers you might find the odd Deldar that finds it hot (like Marazhai) but they find us ugly. >our psychic imprints are repulses themNo, most humans barely have a trace and that's not something particularly repulsive to them >An Eldar places much more emphasis on a person's warp shadow than they do on their materium self. Think about the reaction people in the Imperium have to blanks, them amplify that. That's what it's like for an Eldar dealing with the average human.Source: your putrid gaping asshole>The renewed push to alienfy them is recent.They're being uglyfied like everything else these days and the artist who draws the Drukhari's hates waists, that's it.
>>553376239It was canonical when it was published Nucanon doesn't count
>>553376327>but both factions look hideous in their models.True, Sisters look cringe in terms of faces but damn their armor and vehicles are cool.
>>553375459I know its you mantharafag because you have some weird hate boner for people who spare Marz or Idira lol. Its okay when you like defanged evil women though.
>>553376371>that's not something particularly repulsive to them >What they find pretty about each other we don't have or in grotesque versions.Source for any of these deranged ravings?
>>553371130>NYOOOOOOO EVERY FANFICTION IS RAPE!Get a grip
>>553375910Eh. Jes Goodwin is probably most authoritative on Eldar.
>>553375739>It's mostly this. There are humans who Eldar find to be physically attractive, but the way we move, and our psychic imprints are repulses them. An Eldar places much more emphasis on a person's warp shadow than they do on their materium self. Think about the reaction people in the Imperium have to blanks, them amplify that. That's what it's like for an Eldar dealing with the average human. About the only humans Eldar think are hot are primarchs, and the humanity of primarchs is hotly debated anyway.Load of barf. Eldar find humans disgusting because we look disgusting to them. They're xenos. They don't have the same beauty standards as us. There's a major overlap (why Eldar women will curl their eyelashes, wear eye shadow, lipstick, and all the other shit that's popular among human women), but the part where there is not overlap is enough so that Eldar will literally throw up when they see a human. We're like the most gross shit in the universe to them, which is why they want to wipe us out. That's why an Eldar would rather sleep with a snake man or an ork over a human. They think that weird brain tentacle aliens, daemons, and tyranids are sexy, but never humans.
>>553376545yea
>>553376798>but the part where there is not overlapMay we see this part?
>>553374752How? The only good game was DA:O the rest was so bad I am surprised we even got Veilguard to begin with. I get why people like ME2-ME3 even though I think they are inferior RPGs to ME1, I don't get how anyone can like Dragon Age after Origins because everything from gameplay,story,character builds and gearing was a former shell of what it once was
>>553371327The obsession is creepy and weird, he's right. But making porn of imaginary characters, or even real people, is not. In fact I can make porn of anyone in my head any time I want and there's nothing anyone can do about it
>>553376834Imagine if Argenta looked like this, how many of you would have hated her?
>>553376327A lot of that is brushwork. GW artists literally painted in jowls to their Lara Croft homage when the unpainted sculpt had none.
>>553376834You know shit was bad before when these are HUGE improvement over old models.
>>553376834They look like head nurses at a boarding school
>>553376798>Load of barf. Eldar find humans disgusting because we look disgusting to them. They're xenos. They don't have the same beauty standards as us.

I am NOT disgusting!
>>553377095You don't need a "source", whatever that means, it's just obvious
>>553377027>GW artists literally painted in jowls to their Lara Croft homageAfter painting screaming angry middle aged dudes for decades they probably did it on pure reflex.
>>553377062Googling
>>553375459All factual, but she becomes loyal to you so that's all that matters to me
I'm trying to get the Hardened Powered Armor in Fallout 1. I think I screwed myself out of it.I think what happened was at the beginning of the game, I bought a couple books from the library in the Hub, and one of them was the chemistry journal. Read it without a second thought to grow my science skill not knowing that it was essential and unique.What the fuck did I even do with the book afterward? Eat it to absorb the knowledge within?
>>5533769312 has a lot of charm and really fun characters, mages and templars is a really fun area of the world to exploreinquistion has so much love and care put into itwalking around haven and hearing a chanter sing the chantdorian and vivienne being there to help provide alternative views of tevinter and the mage/templar debate respectivelyI truly love Inquisition and it pains me what Veilguard did
I'm actually getting the urge to play Inquistion. What's generally the most fun class?
>>553376020i had a teenage crush mission so your wrong
>>553377517Why would you do that when Bastila is right there?
>>553377507Mage, then rogue, then warrior.
>>553376834with bitches like these no wonder theres only war
>>553377507Inquisition combat is shit I can't even remember how I did it
>>553377229So you're making shit up. I asked because I've been playing 40k for about 30 years and this seemed like massive hyperbole at best.
>>553377507Reaver
>>553377463I remember finding a note about archery competition in Inquisition and Leliana was listed as the judgeHonestly hilarious to think she might be the best shot in the entire organisation
>>553377621I don't tend to like "main" girls/when games try to push one character as the main romantic interest. and all she does is boast about how good she is and then jobs, turns evil, boasts about how evil she is and jobs again
Inquisition combat was so fucking boring.Everything else was pretty good tho.
>playing Bioware games>playing the SHIT Bioware games at thatgrim
>>553377872I always forget she's supposed to be an archer since I just spec her as a dual dagger rogue every time
>>553376798No that's stupid I'm going to ignore it I'll stick with the "psychic uncanny valley" thing which is more interesting.Like humans and blanks
>>553377973This. Minus the giant barren zones.
>>553377507Reaver is fun. Mage is okay your spell selection is pretty pathetic compared to Origins. Rogue is fine if you want to see big numbers but I feel like Inquisition's sluggish combat doesn't really work well with Rogue.
One thing I'll say about Inquisition that it did good was NOT making all companions playersexual and allowing you to flirt with those whose orientation is not compatible. They'd eventually put a stop to it, and sometimes you'd even get approval from that, and it was much more... organic? And also funny. Poor Cassandra being in embarrassed to death trying to explain she doesn't like female Inquisitor that way.
>>553377909Bastila's heel turn was too enthusiastic and she didn't earn her redemption
>>553377973Well except for the writing.
This is what female players want.
>>553378303Cassia does this if the femcel trader comes onto her
>>553378410and the character designs, and the gameplay, and the quest design
>>553378029Yeah, she also makes her entrance stabbing people like a londoner, so you're led to believe she's a knife kinda girl... until you look at her skills.
kick Incendia's ass from footfall without bloodshed RT: Isn't this great? All without anyone dying! Hieronymous: She was the real one! To arms! WTF? Oh, I fucking hate this, and after I did so much for those ungrateful cretins!
>>553378303Dorian liked flirting with femquistors, it was cute
>>553376934not being able to do anything about it is unrelated to whether it's creepy or not.>it's allowed!!! you can't think it's creepy and that I'm a mentally ill cringelord because it's allowed!!!
>>553378476Really? I admit, I didn't even try.

>>553378450I'm not gay, but...
If Robert Howard had been born in the modern era he would have made an awesome Conan-esque CRPG I just know it
Dragon Age Inquisition is a kuso game and nobody has anything good to say about it except the most disgusting tumblr browsing cum garging bioware shilling femcels

>In 2026, Owlcat releases its next game: Othello
>>553378956I enjoy playing DAI on Nightmare with broken builds. Artificer Rogue in particular is super fun thanks to Opportunity Knocks. Not really a CRPG though.
>>553379332>LelianafagsDon't exist It's all just falseflaggingNotice how NO ONE can explain why they like her
>>553379290Tyranny is pretty close. There's also Dark Sun: Shattered Lands.

>>553380469weird enough I can also think to her kicking the bucket, when all I did was kick her out? also Achileas, burned dude, I never really realized he died at some point I'm not sure if I must have skipped something, because the last interaction was on my ceremony so, uh, yeah, weird also I never got the scene in which Yrilet beheld the shard of her people, she just kept referencing it but I never got the scene got to meditate with her though, which was weird
>>553378506It makes 0 sense and it's against his character considering he felt bad about it looking back..
>>553380469>>553380867you can even talk to him beforehand, do a little>Yeah, but she's fucking crazy and goes against anything you stand forand still he suddenly has the expanses biggest brainfart
>>553379495He did a lot of things. Gygax was inspired more by him than by Tolkien for making D&D, despite what many believe.
Just realised Banquet for Fools is only a month and a half away. I'm so hyped.
>>553380713Weird about missing Yrliet's first visit. I don't think I've ever had that bugAs for Achilleas, after the first fight in Cumrag, Yrliet wants to talk to you in private, then explains that she killed him because he was a traitor, then she decided to try to manipulate Marazhai herself. That's it as far as resolving his disappearance. I think right before Cumrag Jimmy might have said something about Achilleas being missing
>>553380469>>553380867>>553381050Did dataminers find any cut content or did anyone ask Owlcat CMs about this? That was the strangest interaction I've seen in the game. 0 sense at all

>>553381417>>553381050It works out ok in the end, his replacement as leader of the Drusians is a much better guy
I made cass the divine just for the lolz
>>553372574NTA but the base campaign imo is pretty shit. The encounters after the start is piss easy and it's only useful as a lore dump. I had considered remaking the campaign (Like how Shadowrun Returns had it's campaign remade) but I don't know how big of an audience that'd really have. My other project I had some work done on was Dragon Quest 1 remade into the Solasta engine. But same thing, by the time I'd finish it, Solasta 2's EA or full releae may be out and it'd make it moot.
>>553375664ENTER
>>553381316RE: Cumrag, if you don't have Yrliet, drukeks turn Achilleas into the Wrack (guy standing near the Anatomical Opera). You even get to talk to him and show him to Jimmy.Way funnier than Yrliet offing him off-screen.

I was struggling with those fucks for like 10 minutes before I remembered Xan has protection from petrification.
jesus this ettercap difficulty spike is bad. I really don't have enough spell slots to spam slow poison.
>>553381298I forgot about it for the winter sale, but I'll probably still get it anyhow. You liked the demo then? Did you play EA? I don't on principle.
>>553384595>You liked the demo then? Did you play EA?I watched the trailer and that's it. I do not sully my hands with spoilers.

what is this dogs problem?
WOMEN IN RESPECTABLE POSITIONS OF POWER
>>553385229none of them are respectable thoughinsane schizos
>>553385229 It's weird how Berath is more of the Queen of Gods then Woedica. Everyone listens to her. When the Ice God appears everyone shits themselves. Everyone but Berath. Whoever wrote her (Carrie) massively overdid it.With a lot of the worse writers gone and the other bad ones like Kate being relegated to Grounded 2, I'm actually quite curious to see if we'll see any improvements in Avowed 2 and/or Poe2
>>553377463>2 has a lot of charm and really fun characters, mages and templars is a really fun area of the world to explorethere's no nuance in da2 though, every single mage you meet is a blood mage and one guy basically wanna make your mom into a fuck toy that looks like his dead wife.

>>553384764I think you're confusing me with another anon. I got to Baldur's Gate like 4 months ago and picked it back up only recently. Either way, I have to say it's honestly pretty bad and the thing keeping me going is the promise of BG2 being better.
>>553385417>being designed around the player not needing either a tank or healerYou definitely do need some sort of way of getting "health" (either barrier or guard) if you're going to be playing on higher difficulties.
>>553385440Ahh, yeah, another anon recently started.That sucks. But I'd say, if you are hating it, I really don't expect you to like BG2 that much. It's not really that massive of a leap. Same engine, mechanics, general "look". It was 2 years after. So it's not like the difference between BG2 and BG3 for instance.I could be wrong obviously, but my prediction is you're going to feel pretty similarly with BG2.
>>553373835Indian or retarded?
>>553385409I mean it makes sense. Berath is the god of the thing that maintains their entire existence. She actually has to take her job seriously unlike those other chucklefucks.
>>553385678Same difference
>>553385229I'm not a huge fan of how the gods were done in Deadfire. I felt they had more nuance in Pillars 1. Skaen especially just turned into a cartoon, where I thought his thing in the first game was kind of neat.
>>553385670I went into this expecting horrible jank and awful 40 years old DnD rules and that's what I got. I don't really have a problem with the gameplay as much as with the narrative parts. The companions are barely there and the game isn't sure if it wants to be serious or funny. They will have the MC say some really weird shit sometimes. The tone is all over the place. I heard BG2 is better on that front.
>>553386245>I heard BG2 is better on that front.Yes, BG2 is more tonally consistent (less jokey overall) and the characters are properly fleshed out people
Is Pillars difficult to go into blind? I haven't really played any RTWP games and have the urge to play something outside of the usual Owlcat/Larian games. If its a slog I'll probably just replay DAO or Underrail since I haven't touched them in years.
>>553386245That stuff is still in BG2. Maybe a little less, but it's there. The companions are more there (since it's pretty much nothing in BG1), but I think sometimes people exaggerate how much is there. Like, you might get a little banter once every 4 hours of gameplay or something, and some companions have a lot more than others, who are mostly silent.
>>553386495DAO is rtwp
>>553385678>>553386143you need to go back
>>553386495What the other anon said. Also the 1st owlcat game didn't have turn based for a long time.And no, it's not difficult. The system is pretty damn good. Sure beats real time DnD, but that's not a high bar.
>>553386495Lots of polarized opinions on that here. I think it's fine to go into blind. I never felt like the RTWP was overwhelming, since the encounters are kind of made for it. You can go into a slow-motion mode that also makes it easier, I basically had it on all the time (triggered on entering combat.) There's also good visual indicators that help you see when for instance a character is ready to cast another spell, or how soon until their spell is done casting, that sort of thing. Which also got even better in Deadfire.I think the people who cry about "lore dumps" have probably never actually read a book in their lives, it's really exaggerated here.Just make sure to avoid the gold-plated NPCs, they have nothing to do with the story, were written by backers, and are mostly really terrible.
booba
>>553387149>can't fuck best girlit's like an Owlcat signature move at this point.
>>553385620early on when you are hitting Hinterlands bear for 30 minutes, sure. But Mid-late game you can just play Rogue and glass canon your way through with Tempest yes its meta gaming but if you are playing DAI I don't wanna spend time on combat more than I have to/spoiler]
>>553386245>The tone is all over the placeThat's just what games were like back then.
>>553376798>>553377095From one of the Ynnari books, but this is how people react to Eldar:>Those that had not seen the emissary before stared with a mix of unalloyed lust and disgust in equal measure...
>>553386672>Maybe a little lessA lot less. I can't recall any fourth wall breaking shit in BG2 like "aloe vera balm"Maybe Lilacor the Talking Sword
>>553387296I don't recall having similiar problems with Planescape Torment. Although I might be due for a replay.
>>553387519There's the adventurer party in ToB
>>553387320The disgust is because they've been raised on a diet of "kill the xeno"The lust is because Eldar are hot
>>553387529Planescape had a ton of wacky shit in it, you are blind or an amnesiac, anon
>>553386495>Is Pillars difficult to go into blind?It has some difficult parts, but as long as you aren't pants on head retarded, you can play it.
>>553387741Yea but that's to be expected of Marvel Crossover: The Setting. I never complained about wackiness itself as much as an inconsistent tone.
>>553387529Did you miss the Modron cube dungeon?
>>553387741Different anon but it's not wacky in the same way. It's not breaking the setting or making 20th century cultural references
>>553387320>>553387695>‘I see no threat,’ he asserted, though his eyes rested more upon Druthkhala and her bare thighs than the Necrontyr architecture in the distance.Too mon'keigh.
>>553377095>humans don't find eldar sex...
>>553388131It totally was though. A bunch of magic items were fucking anime references.
>>553388226>Druthkhaladid they unironically name her that
>>553388489Nah I'm not getting drawn on this Any honest person can see that BG1 is the jokiest of all the IE games I mean just the way Xzar speaks
>>553388428feels like humans find eldar sexy, but eldar see humans as disgusting grotesque creatures too ugly to even look atlike pretty people find ugly people disgusting to look at
really have to talk about fucking female eldars every thread?
>>553389069It's the Indian/White Woman dynamic
>>553377027>>553377256I think it's also the obsession with painting as detailed as possible because that's what looks good when you're doing stuff like armor and weapons, and the more detail you add to a face, the older, wrinklier and/or fatter it will look.
>>553387519Lilacor, the adventuring party, Jan, Rocky and Bulwinkle in Waukeen's Promenade, arguably Edwin/Edwina, everything about Minsc and Tiax, the silliness of Xzar and Montaron's appearance, that one beholder in the sahuagin area. I'm sure there's more I'm not thinking of, and I'm not remembering any dialogue line options, I'm certain that there are plenty of ridiculous ones you can choose.But overall I'd say there's a more serious tone to BG2 but it's not like it's solemn or something. As anon said, that's just how games were.
>>553389343>I'm not remembering any dialogue line options,That's because there aren't any. Poo culture references are confined to a few NPC names >Janis silly but he's not breaking the fourth wall
>>553389487Pop* culture lmao
>>553389343>>553387519The Umar Witch Project
>>553389310Yeah, it's probably that.
>>553389487Jaheira breaks the 4th wall, the group of adventurers do too. Lilacor probably does I can't recall. And I would be absolutely shocked if there weren't silly dialogue lines you can choose, I just haven't played the game in many years so I don't remember any, but I'd bet they're in there 100%, you're just selective about what you think should count.
>>553390304>Jaheira breaks the 4th wall,When?
Alette taking big varl dick nightly
>>553390430>yessssss oh omnipresent authority figureAnd all the other examples I've given? Do you have a convenient excuse for why they also don't count? Umar Witch Project? Or now are you strictly confining it to 4th wall breaking and not pop culture references and silliness.It's okay to like the game but you don't need to put it on a pedestal.
>>553390851>yessssss oh omnipresent authority figureThat's in BG1, not BG2
>>553390645oddlief literally thirsts over _______cocks
>>553390851>Umar Witch Projectis a perfectly valid name in the game settingIt's different from>Aww jeez boss is love to help ya but these druids, see, they got a GREAT deal on aloe vera
His name is "Bellower"??I've been calling him "Belltower"! Oh I've been making a fool of myself

How much longer until underrail 2?
>>553386245Yeah. Welcome to 1998.Bg2 is a huge leap forward on that front, though it does have its fair share of goofiness.>>553386672Bg2 was the game that gave people the expectation of how characters should interact.>>553390851that was common in 90s games. get over it.And not mentioning the funniest one. When you go to feldepost's in and kill marl, his friend says 'whoa hey don't click on me'.
>You are going to do battle with them? In this crude vessel?Even Yrliet knows it is a travesty that the von Valancius flagship is a fucking frigate (the most powerful frigate in the galaxy, though).
>Divinity won't have spell slots like BG3We're so back
>>553393857Isn't that shitty frigate a piece of Dark Age of Technology tech?
>>553393673>get over itYou lost track of the conversation, there's nothing to get over for me. I love both games but that anon was insisting there's no out of place tonal silliness or any 4th wall breaking type things. Some people can be fucking weird and delusional when it comes to BG2 for some reason.>>553391059>is a perfectly valid name in the game settingIt's very obviously a reference to the Blair Witch Project. Please relax your anus and remove your nostalgia goggles.
off to hopefully kick sarevok's ass, but probably not cause I'm level 6.
>>553394094I don't think so? I don't recall anything like that, other than the ship and its machine spirit are old, but not that old. The oldest tech on the ship is stuff in the Warrant Chamber, no? That's only Great Crusade/HH-era. Owlcat intended for ship upgrades, but it got cut or removed or something.
>>553394060it didn't have spell slots before
>>553394842How would ship upgrades even work when figuring out the mystery of your ship is a big part of the plot
>>553394060Spell slots are good though. So is Vancian magic overall.
>>553370938>The child was found in an escape pod in the forest after a great space battle>It had no identification or possessions except a blanket and deep red gem fastened around its neck
>>553395207who cares? just hand wave it and say the core of the ship was upgraded in record time and parts of the original ship are within the upgraded ship.
>>553395127We're so back (to DOS 2 style spellcasting system from DnD's horrible system)>>553395363No, it encourages an unfun conservative spell hoarding playstyle rather than the pro-active fun playstyle of using your spells whenever you can that DOS2 and Rogue Trader do
What's the deal with Imoen's Belt?
>>553395513Or just don’t waste time on adding upgrades that make no sense for people insecure about their ship size
>There was something that bothered me when I explored the starting areas of DOS1, DOS2 and BG3. It stares you right in the face if you think about it. In Divinity I can finally do the thing I wanted to do in every previous gameWhat do we think it is, chat?
>>553395656Both of those games have dog shit rulesets and are even more casualizied garbage than 5E
Should’ve just made your ship a cruiser from the start. They write it like it is anyway.
>>553396067impregnate female elves
>>553396067there wasn't enough NPCs yelling about cheese
>>553396261They originally planned on you being able to upgrade your ship and shit but it was scrapped
>>553395924>le insecurity>it's a waste of resources to swap a model and make up some fluff text about the warrant chamber and bloodspun web temples being moved or built around>heaven forbid they might have had to add a more ship equipment slots, this is 600000 dev hours at least!it makes less sense for a thousand+ year old RT dynasty to have a frigate for a flagship than it does to hand wave some explanations and provide a fun ship upgrade mechanic. the ship, void combat, and colony management is just not well executed in the game, imo.
>>553396258I'm specifically talking about spell cooldowns vs spell slots, nothing else. Encouraging the player to hoard spells rather than to use them as much as possible is horrible gameplay design.
if your female armor doesn't look like thisthen I don't want to play your crpg
BG2 seems better right from the start. This is the kind of serious writing that the sword coast setting deserves.
>>553396564Just stop replying to me. Your opinion is garbage.
>>553396742The selective memory of grognards is a thing to behold, truly.
>>553396564Having to rest all the time pissed me off in BG3. DnD just isn't built for the encounter density expected of video games.
>>553396964You’re meant to rest a bunch in bg3 though
>>553392051>Owlcat are lawfags We know, law gets the best content.
>lizard romance confirmed by Swen for Divinity He really can't help himself, can he?
>>553396742Minsc is pretty garbage in BG2 if you don't like his "comic relief." Basically his only use as a weird base kit ranger is as the physical damage resistance guy stacking Armor of Faith, Defender of Easthaven and Hardiness. In BG2 his Str is pretty fairly unremarkable as an advantage and all his downsides are more prominent. He does have a nice rapport with Keldorn though. So he can be fun in a party with him.
>playing Rogue Trader & FactorioAnd people say Larian isn't based
>>553397849Yeah I was being deliberately unfair by posting a screenshot of Minsc's nonsense.It's a pretty serious tone in Irenicus' dungeon
>>553388795>Druthkhala Shadowspite
>>553369690Of course we do
>>553398008BG2 generally has a pretty serious tone and high stakes. But it also has Jan.
>>553397849What party has the most banter in BG2? I imagine something like Mazzy+Korgan+your waifu+a second girl, who else?
Cassia's virginity was stolen by the drukhari, you weren't her first
Jae wasn't even raped by the Drukhari. They took one look at her and thought better not take a chance.
>>553376327Eldar actually have handsome looking female faces on models. At least compared to human models.Sisters have been getting uglified by GW across editions. The newer models have more manly/bald/negro faces.
Imoen has more hp than JaheiraGirl is built like a brick shithouseI'm beginning to understand Irenicus' interest in our little sister...
>>553398671I will brook no Jae slander, draw your laspistol.
I just finished Fallout 1, and I regret to inform you:3 > NV > 4 > 1 (I haven't replayed 4 in a while though, so maybe that'll change when I play it again.)I prefer mechanics to story any day, and the gameplay of 1 just left a lot to be desired, even when compared to other CRPGs of a similar era.
>>5533991082 is basically the same mechanics as 1 so if you didn't like 1 you won't like 2

>>553369690we love monster girls here
>>553399390Is it balanced a bit better?It felt like I was way too weak until I got power armor, then I was way too strong. As long as the combat grows just a bit to allow for some better strategy and planning, then it could be great.It also felt like my skills didn't really have much of a point. I think I found maybe one place where my Science skill actually did anything. Maybe it's just hidden where it actually counts.And I'm not sure if this is a hot take or not, but I didn't really like the dialogue system much. Way too many times I'd find my only options being stuff that my character would never say. I'm not even going for a very unique character. He's basically a lawful good high intelligent scientist who tries to make the world a more safe place.I still liked the game (eventually) but it feels more like a proof of concept or first draft than a complete product. It's why I'm still eager to give Fallout 2 a good honest chance. (but after I'm done with Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale though)

It does not.
>>553401918Skill issue
>>553401918>one of the Genestealer sidequests from Chapter 2 (even though very few players are going to be able to do the first in Chapter 2) is gated behind a specific colony upgrade that you can't unlock until Act 4This in particular was an odd choiceMaybe it makes sense to the enigmatic Russian mind

>>553402267I thought the same thing. at least one of you is going to die, but one of you can live if only one of you hit the button.It's really more about how well you know your sibling to know if he'd attempt to sacrifice himself for you, or if he'd try to go for the selfish attempt.It's just kind of a dumb scenario, honestly.

Pretty kino moment after Bolverk and the Ravens want to leave, and I decide how much food they are taking away from the caravan with them: splitting, a few days' worth, or none as a punishment then shifting to playing as Bolverk with the consequences of that decisionI feel like I missed good RP by not having Rook go very dark and brutal after the ending in 1, but I still don't really see him that way. I have chosen some harder responses at times though, because he's clearly not in a good place.
I'm convinced this will never get old.>>553401918So what do I need to do to NOT fuck over my quests?
Mana bars>spell slots as proven by underrail.
>>553404532Just so long as you don't see Calcazar until right at the end you'll be fine. You can still go to Footfall and do Jae's stealth quest and the other stuff
>>553404803Does Jae's quest fail only if you speak to Calcazar? Because I was going through saves while trying to fix some unrelated bugs and determine the fail trigger point for the Genestealer stuff and if you go to Footfall you cannot leave until you complete the Incendia stuff. I left the system, and then Jae said that her gang members had limited time. I went back (1 warp jump), completed her quest, and then left without talking to Calcazar. 2 warp jumps after that, the Genestealer attack happens. It seems better not to go to Furibundus at all in the beginning of Act 4.
Cyberpunk 2077 has good potential for kino cuckoldry with Johnny Silvethands. It would be great if you could have him take over your body to be your bvll in your own flesh to fuck Panam. I wish CDPR added more options to let him take over. It could have been a unique cuckoldry experience.

>>553415279Overseer so you can hear his new pet-owner dialogue.
>>553415279Overseer. At least there're some new mechanics
>>553401918>>the DLC makes this worse since for some unknown reason they made the expiration date for the main Genestealer quest trigger immediately after the Act 4 Footfall stuffThe final part of the Genestealer quest should have been immediately after you get back from the webway without giving you any chance to breethe. It's absolutely fucking retarded the genestealers didn't try to stage a coup while you were away. It would also be a good way to give you a reason to actually keep the drukek you've picked up alive - maybe you're the kind of person that will be grateful to him for helping to quell the revolt
>>553406632A viceroy trying to weather the storm
>>553415717does your existence revolve around staying up to spam these pictures
>>553410519Ah yes, the "we are just gonna throw the popular franchise names out there to attract the audience" gambit. Let's see how well it pays off for them
>>553415768Would have been a cool first mission for Marazhai to prove himself
>>553415580He had a hard time maintaining archmilitant's combat rhythm for me.
>>553415279Overseer, executioner or assassin are the go tos for Jimmy
>>553415279OverseerGo full Overmax. Make everyone an Overseer who can be an Overseer.
>>553416119Wish I could have took him to the medieval world
>>553415768That would have been a good point for the ship attack, you come back from Commorragh much stronger, and it makes sense narratively. It's not contingent on any of the Genestealer sidequests like the station or the Wasteland Wayfarer either, right? You can do those at any time so it's fine to progress to the main Genestealer stuff.
>>553416669You can
>>553416826I don't want to wait till act 4
>>553416372Party management in combat would be an absolute slog.
>>553415746I haven't heard his line, hmm what does he say?
>>553387320So we're extrapolating from this to "Eldar would rather fuck a Biovore?"
>>553416750It would be strange to do the Wayfarer after the main Genestealer thing is resolved.
>>553417236Eh the pets are just more interesting abilities. It's not like you're actually controlling another party member.
>>553417397No I think he's extrapolating the other way, that humans find elves disgusting, and that a human would rather fuck a squiggoth than an eldar
>>553415746>>553416372Where are their banter's triggers at? I'm not going full overseer party, but I might be tempted to just toybox this.
>>553417557They do take up UI space, though.
Jimmy "Nuke 'em All" Heinrix.Also Cass loves her new pet bird.
>>553417608Its not banter but the lines they say when they command their pet
>>553417608Whenever you tell the pet to do something. Like you send Idira's raven to btfo someone and she says>come on rustbucket! Show them what we got!Also if you send them to heal a pet they have a special line for healing it>there there. Idira'll fix you right up
>they gave eagle the most dialogue reactivity>also the one nobody fucking uses
>>553417328Nobody has because nobody makes him an overseer. I will next time I play.Don't all copmanions have unique names for each type of pet too?
>>553417880You have played this 800 times, stop trying to act like its new to you.
>>553417985I do. Eagles are pretty good in battle. Better than dogs that's for sure
>>553417985I use Eagle all the time, it's great. High damage output. Jae in particular suits it.Dog is the benchwarmer.
>>553417991I am tempted to try Overseer Jimmy now just to hear his lines. >unique namesI am not sure
>>553418134I'm using it right now with my commissar and I can easily see what people mean when they say it's not going to scale well.
>>553418134That's because anything is better than a dog.
>>553418341Why did they make the dog so ass. It should have gotten special treatment since its a companion's gimmick.
>>553417592Either way it's nonsense. They have a normal 40k level of digust and arrogance toward each other. But by far the most interspecies cooperation (aside from Tau Auxiliaries) has been Human and Eldar.
>>553415768That's basically how it used to work, you only got like three or four warp jumps before the Genestealers attackThey made it happen later due to how exhausting many found it to be forced into a quite long quest with (at least at the time) difficult fights so soon after getting back from Act 3
>>553418926Realistically they should have attacked while you were away but that wouldn't be fun
>>553409716not everyone is british or american you know
>>553419059They could have framed it as a prolonged rebellion. Janris and the officers that were left behind put up a good enough resistance
>>553419059You could reason that they didn't attack while you were away due to Einrich straight up telling you they wanted to turn you to their causeThey might have also wanted to make sure that they could actually get rid of you, since if they just took your ship and later found out that you've reappeared on Janus, then they'd have to deal with the whole Protectorate hunting them down
>>553419489Actually yes that makes sense. They can't just assume you're out of the picture permanently.
Also one thing I noticed with the eagle is that in your dialogue with it you can choose between two different talents for it. The game doesn't even tell you about this and you can accidentally opt out of getting either of them.
>>553417448Why? Isn't the Wayfarer stuff just background context for the Genestealer presence in the Expanse? That entire questline extends from Act 2 -> Act 4 anyway, and it seems likely that players would not have done that rumor until Act 4.
What should I make my 2nd archetype I did pyro pskyer/bladedancer.
>>553419850Oh yeah it is background. That's why I'd find it strange. It fits narratively better when you don't know what you're up against, you're still finding out about the genestealers. Rather than "oh it's these guys again"
Can I edit Viconia's alignment in EEKeeper or something? I don't want to take a second cleric but jesus fuck I hate the evil alignment's turn undead effects.
>>553420280There's the Helm of Opposite alignment in BG1. And you can cheat that into BG2 if you want to be only slightly cheaty (code is HELM02). Or yes you can just use EEKeeper.
>>553420280Viconia is doomed to be a shit character you take for waifu reasons.
>zoomer plays a classic in 2000+26>asks for a way to cheat at the slightest inconvenience
I withdraw my grumbling about Minsc, Irenicus' Dungeon is great
>>553420127But you already know it's Genestealers from the crypt stuff in Act 2. The sidequest is about their origins. The resolution of the main Genestealer quest is not directly connected to the Wayfarer, Heriokh's Rim, the planet Jeveson, or the three different cults in the Expanse. Just because you exterminate them on your ship doesn't mean they aren't active elsewhere in the Expanse. You can't even really follow that questline organically if you miss the colony upgrade. The quest still continues if you don't do that upgrade, but the entire questline is buggy as hell. The planet Jeveson didn't trigger properly for me until I reloaded multiple saves.
>>553418673It's a casualty of everyone already being tuned so high it doesn't measure up. Note how the only real good pets are the ones that make already broken archetypes more broken. In a normal game an archetype that is good because their companion offers utility to the party would be good. In rogue trader it's weak.
>>553418673I think it was just a last minute thing and they thought>oh fuck the dog can hit for 400's in act 2 and follow up attacks!But the companion it comes with has anti synergy with the fucking thing. At minimum it should've gotten ridiculous amounts of base HP to tank stuff, or make that one perk for 50% chance to dodge the owners shots to 100% once per round.Solomorne should've been a subjugator since he'd actually have value with it, because you're not taking overseer as a melee user otherwise.
>>553421519The pets would be way better if they were actually tied to your stats so they could inherit all your bullshit scaling and stat synergies. Raven seems to bypass this because everything still uses your psy rating.
>>553419414not liking lotr is very, very brown.
>>553421243A lot of people hate it for doing it so much but its actually really, really good. and getting kicked out into your new city is a great experience too.

>>553421243Poor Lmoen.
>>553424286They're not and there's actually a mod on the nexus which further fixes hundreds of them.Wasn't expecting that.
>>553424614Yea, my initial play through of the game before any DLC had fewer bugs. Maybe I will check out that mod, even though it may introduce new problems.
>>553423639>redditorGO BACKThey are right tho. Owlcat gives straight men the most options in every game. Im expecting Larry and Gaymar for foids and moids will get Epione, Kroot, Admech, maybe the Blank or Aspyce.
>>553423639Wait this is from one redditor? Can you stop stalking Raztard and Pasqal's toaster.
>>553424179You have to go back
>>553425625Rogue Trader is somewhat balanced so far. Straight men got Cassia, Yrliet, Jae, and Kibellah. Straight women get Heinrix, Solomorne, and Marazhai. That's only 1 more romance, and the DLC is not done yet. They might add one more male romance and then have the last companion not be romanceable, which would be fine. People go on about how Heinrix and Marazhai are better than most of the female romances as well, so the quality argument is also moot. If you go>Only Heinrix counts because Solomorne and Marazhai are playersexualthen you have to strike off Yrliet, Jae, and Kibellah from the female romances.
>>553426179Yes, all playersexual romances are cringe and should be removed from existance. There's a reason only Cassia and Jimmy are good
>>553426303Even in such an opinionated and biased scenario, there is parity between male and female romances.
>>553426179>then you have to strike off Yrliet, Jae, and Kibellah from the female romancesWait, these three go for girls too?
>>553426501Yes. Cassia and Heinrix are the only companion romances that are gender locked.
gettin sick of this bitch
>>553426303Playersexual is only even a thing if every option is playersexual. Some people just swing both ways
>>553426179Im talking about base game.Dlc you had to wait like 2 years for another foid/gay moid option and we know how Solomorne turned out. Kibbles got way more effort put into her.
yum
>>553426581Well I'll be. I just kinda assumed they were straight and never really checked.
>>553426680Very few. Jae only makes sense as a straight woman, and Yrliet only makes sense with a female Elantach
>>553426787Are you forcing Cassia to fuck you again
>>553426816lol
What kinda retarded name is Solomorne anyway? Is he Frostmourne's black cousin?
>>553426816Jae wants to lick Argenta's snatch, just because she has a ex-boyfriend doesn't mean she's straight.
>>553426680>Some people just swing both ways>50% of your companions are faggots>someThe overrepresentation of faggots in vidya is getting tiresome. Not to mention it's done out of simple laziness.
>>553426731The base game had the exact same balance. Straight men had Cassia, Yrliet, and Jae. Straight women had Heinrix and Marazhai. Solomorne being Heinrix 2.0, but more boring, is no more of a big deal than Yrliet not putting out. I don't think femcels are being oppressed that much, even if men do have one more romance available.
>>553426939The whole "Shereen" business only works for a male trader
>>553426179Acktually, RT was and is perfectly balanced>1 straight female Cassia + 1 bi female Jae + 1 bi female Kibbs3 females>1 straight male Jimmy + 1 bi male Marazhai + 1 bi male nigga3 malesYrliet is other or 'unknown', like Shale from DAO
>>553426898Distorting Solomon
>>553426898It's like the name Solomon but not. I think they got inspired from Cyberpunk's dlc.
>>553426939>Jae wants to lick Argenta's snatchThat's just natural, doesn't make her a lesbian or bi.
There are people in Warhammer with much sillier names. That really angry big guy? His name is Angron.

>>553427312He wrote nothing about a word itself tho
>>553427185Cassia totally would if given the opportunity.
>>553427312I meant the general vibe of the romance, she play-acting the exotic princess and you the dashing star-corsair
>>553427804There is nothing strongly gendered about that, either. She applies that flattery and manner to everyone, male and female.
>>553427804Why can't a woman be a dashing corsair. Have bifauxen characters.
>>553428008She doesn't even play act the princess, that's just part of her fake backstory. She play acts as the dashing princess-turned-corsair.
Okay I tried overseer Jimmy. His lines are boring, its just like "go here BEAST".Idira's are fun.
>>553427994>>553428008>contrarianism for its own sakeYou know perfectly well what I'm getting at.
>>553428337Nobody's being a contrarian. You're just being a retard.
>>553428337I'm being 100% earnest with you. I do not see at all how Jae's romance has a "male only vibe". She's portrayed as not just playersexual, but intentionally bisexual.
>>553428294Oh that's shitThanks for doing the hard work
>>553428294Psyber raven in general is a bit boring on the reactivity front.
>>553428462>tee hee you love to take charge, don't youIt's clearly an experienced old hag manipulating a less experienced maleUnless, from your long experience of lesbian relationships, you can say otherwise

>>553432464That seems like a silly exaggeration.80% of what she says and does up to chapter 3 is due to her being sheltered and knowing things encyclopedically rather than experiencing them.She acts more based on how her upbringing told her to and how the world is presented by books, but it's not dishonest or tying to mislead you.When she's got a reality check later on, this changes

I'm about to start Planescape Torment finally. Is there anything I should know before just jumping right in?I recently finished the Baldur's Gate Saga (not BG3) so I'm not a complete noobie to the style of gameplay. I'm prepared and eager to do a ton of reading.Any recommended builds or things you wish you knew on your first playthrough? Usually in RPGs I go for a pure wizard, or otherwise something with a high focus on intelligence, wisdom, magic, or science if the setting allows for it.
>>553436332Set combat difficulty to easy and don't worry about it.
>>553436332The setting definitely allows high Wis and High int builds.Just trust the Skull
>>553436452Are there a ton of riddles or puzzles? I figured that's part of what people meant by the fact that it's mostly reading, not a lot of combat. Puzzles in between monologues and exchanges.
>>553432035>It's like you're larping along with her. Doesn't feel very genuine.as a schizoid autist this is what regular people flirting feels like to me. it's just a mutual game and if they're not both into doing the play-acting it ruins the mood and doesn't work out. therefore I have to declare the cassia romance as pretty realistic and that your character is into it if he plays along.
>>553436332max WIS/INT/CHA in that specific order, the other stats don't do anything. play a mage, obviously.

>>553443310It's pretty okay now if you take navy officer.Patch from a few months ago buffed it so if you crit or parry an attack you'll follow up with your offhand weapon.Build as an arch militant using the blessed bolt shell for guaranteed bolter pistol hits until you can utilize a good plasma pistol/aeldari and you'll do fine.

>>553443616Idea being you pump weapon skill and agility instead of perception and ballistic skill until later on which is why the blessed bolter shell can carry you until your stats are good enough around act 3~Burst pistol has dogshit ammo and low ballistic skill makes them rng cannons; foehammers I wouldn't bother with unless you're an arbites since they are a bit anti synergistic in that they knock people away, do friendly fire, and the only good one you get past act 1 is at the same time you get other high damage options like the anti vehicle revolver, a good magma pistol or those 5 round aeldari burst pistols.Really there's a bunch of good pistols in act 3 and 4 and I'm pretty sure it would cruise through no matter what weapon path you end up taking.

>>553443390The other anon currently playing BG really hated BG1, but how are you feeling about the game so far?
>>553451293I don't feel.
>>553451293It's not bad, but I'm also not wild about it about 11 hours.I agree with the other anon when it comes to tonal inconsistency, I wasn't expecting so much comedy for a game that starts with your dad getting killed. I don't like itCompanions are also a great miss, most of them are too obnoxious for me to enjoy them. I hope Xan is tolerable enough to replace Garrick once I finally get around to doing Nashkel mines.There's something fun about exploring the wilderness areas though, I've been doing that for the last 4 or so hours in preparation for the mines. Everyone is lvl 4-5 right now apart from Jaheira, who's about to be 4, so I should go and do the mines next.We'll see if I end up finishing BG1. It'll depend on if I grow bored of exploration, and on whether or not the story keeps me interested enough to continue
>>553403743>do I need a level 9-10 party to beat zuggtmoy in combat in toee?Level 10 is perfectly fine. >all my guys do 0-1 damageUse more buffs, items that increase stats and holy weapons.
I like comedy in BG1. It has that feel of somewhat lighthearted quest series, which is suitable for a low level adventure where clearing a mine of kobolds is a dangerous endeavour. There are dark moments in BG1 story, sure, but they are infrequent and not savoured in every gross detail. At the end of the day you're here to have fun. Also, strangely enough, I find the outlandish style of humor to be more palatable. It's like an aside glance or a thinly veiled mature joke in a cartoon. I dunno, I find it very charming.Icewind Dale is a much better example of straightforward heroic fantasy. Shame more people don't play it.

Watcher's Keep vs Durlag's Tower
>>553453973I like Drooglag Tower more. It feels much more like a difficult, weird, but ultimately cohesive dungeon. Brapper's Keep just feels like a bunch of "le difficult challenge maps" stapled together.

Former intern of Obsidian here. Here's a leak.Avowed did not do well. I know it's pretty obvious but it REALLY did not do well. Significantly worse then Deadfire even. The game did have a high player count but the majority teetered off shortly after the tutorial. MCA wasn't talking about of his ass about Avowed 2. It's going to be a very much cheap sequel and will reuse the majority of assets. It will however allow you to play as all the races this time though. This is the only reason why the upcoming update is adding this.Sequel is not in the Living Lands but in another island region that's closer to Yezuha. It won't feature any characters physically from the previous games aside from the Gods. You are also not going to be a Godlike this time.Tone is very different this time as Obsidian is having John Gonzalez direct it. Sawyer will be involved to help keep lore consistent and will be writing one companion.Classes are back.
"Former intern of Obsidian"
>>553455070Honestly sounds belivable.
What even is the top player count of Avowed right now? I remember an anon posted it actually being lower then the two Pillars games but I assume that's because it was on game pass.
>>553455070just me give another game set in tyranny universe I don't care about PoE faggotry
I really, truly hate crafting in CRPGs. BG2's recipes were good though.
>>553455070>Tone is very different this time as Obsidian is having John Gonzalez direct it.>Classes are back.hmmmm
>>553455070can we actually romance someone this time?
>>553453520I feel the same. The levity also makes the serious points like underneath Candlekeep feel more intense. Or the way Durlag's starts with the tour.I think what makes it work for me, is that the humor in BG1 is never meant to dull the edge. It's not "comedic relief because things are getting too heavy", it's more that the universe is a little whimsical in the setting.
>>553455623you get 1 (one) kissand then an epilogue that states how you got separated and never saw each other again
>>553455070Pretending this is real, there is absolutely no hope of Pillars 3 on the distant horizon, is there?
>>553455369>BG2's recipesThere were recipes?..
>>553455623No. Gonzalez and Josh are both uninterested in adding it. The most you get is sleeping with prostitutes for stat bonuses. Oh and before anybody asks yes Body Type 1 and 2 is still in as is pronoun selection he/her/they. You're only referred to by pronoun in journal entries and unvoiced text though so it hardly matters.
>>553455990only if it's a bg3-like
>>553455850I'm not saying romance is the sole reason I buy CRPG's, but I'm not not saying it isn't a huge selling point
>>553455990>>553456045Eh I think Sawyer saying that was more a "I'm never going to do it" then a serious thing. Because com on now. Microsoft has money but they won't risk THAT much on two failures in a row. Had Deadfire and Avowed done better "maybe" but with how they did? No fucking way. Obsidian should just do a cheap tactics game that reuses Deadfire assets and just keep iterating from there. Would make sequels cheaper, dev time cheaper. Why don't devs do this anymore? Just iterate on what you have made already instead of remaking everything every game.
