I never cared much about graphics as long as they aren't that pixel indie-game look, even if they're janky as hell I don't care.

Tristian was, Bell mused to herself as she gazed at him, the kind of man that she would have liked to break. He perplexed her: from his faith to his beauty. How could he cling so carefully to his perfection? How could he be so kind?

He would have looked better with a few good scars. Bell would have liked to give him a few.

She would have liked to mark him: to scar his pale skin, to drag her nails or her knife down his back to make it more like her own rough flesh. If she was so marred, why shouldn't he be? If she was scarred, why was his skin so blank, so perfect?
Bell gazed down at her hands as she sat at their pathetic camp.

There were marks on them that she could recall seeing there even when she'd been small: she'd been born with them, supposedly. There were others she'd received in battle. A fair number received at her own hand.

'Twas her fate, as a shackleborn, to be so scarred. To be born marked, to be cast out and shunned, to face disgust and concern.

Tristian had not shunned her. He—and his god, presumably—seemed utterly unconcerned with her scars. He spoke of forgiveness. Bell cared little for forgiveness. Hope? What drivel.

His tolerance for her had its advantages. Bell could exploit him. She could flirt a little, tease him into familiarity. She could use a man like him.
Bell looked towards Tristian. She gazed at him as he slept. She could spend hours gazing at him. She could stand and imagine all the things she might do to him given the chance.

Bell wanted to pull his pretty hair. She wanted to bruise his pretty lips with hers. She wanted to bite at him. His perfection was almost upsetting. Bell did not like it, she determined. As much as she was drawn to him, as much as he was too kind, she could not stand it.

What's more fun in DAO, dual wield warrior or rogue?
>>
>>560592748
I do. Or sometimes I dont and just play around it. But the point is that it breaks the simulationist premise of 3.5/pf. Its a form of level scaling more akin to pf2e, which removes most of the fun that the system originally had. A level 7 or whatever mythic party should curbstomp a smilodon with no effort.
>>
>>560592797
They're pretty similar. Mostly it's going to come down to whether you like the extra micromanagement of rogue's positioning requirements. They do get extra damage to compensate for that and being squishier. Personally Mage>all.

I dont like eldritch scoundrels progression so I gave woljif two levels in vivisectionist after level 4 so he could get infusion for my team
This definitely works well but I have no idea where to take it from here. Do I go 4 levels vivisectionist for level 2 spells so he can share animal aspect with my team or do I just stop here and go back to eldritch scoundrel or something else? Do I just go 4 eldritch scoundrel 16 vivisectionist?
I want level 3 spells but his progression is quite delayed anyway

What is the deal with the lack of dwarf beards? Not only has the dwarf beard seemingly disappeared, lots of RPGs seem to be trying to push beardless dwarves. The almost impossibly big beard is part of what makes a dwarf a dwarf and not just a midget.

I just tried Solasta 2 and was very disappointed by the appearance of dwarves and the total lack of proper dwarf beards in the character creator. The Solasta 1 character creator, for all its faults, had proper dwarves with proper dwarf beards. The beards were a bit jank at times and could glitch out and look like false beards at times, but they were still better than whatever the fuck the scruff we get in Solasta 2.

Sooooo what exactly are you supposed to do about the gargoyles rushing across the entire cave and ignoring your entire team to focus down your main character?
I am not even good aligned so the smites arent a problem but I dont have 30+ ac on my character to tank this shit with and I am not even allowed to attack when they surround me with 6+ opportunity attacks
Displacement helps a lot but we are genuinely looking at 18 attacks per turn here
Is there something I am missing about the aggro or is it genuinely just impossible to have your backline left alone when you play on hard or above? There has almost not been a single fight where the enemies have ignored everything in melee to attack them
Ac is not a problem, I can stack that, but not on every member and certainly not for every fight (at least yet)

AOE ground shit/Glitterdust/Summons/Sleep hex spamming. On hard every fight should be you making everyone wade through a field of bullshit before they can hit you.
The only real reliable way of "tanking" is to have enemies only spot your tank at the start of the fight and never run anyone else into their melee range.
You can also just cheese that fight by teleporting everyone over to the cliff so the hellknights can take care of it.

I rushed through Act 3 and I think I'm a bit underleveled, but that's okay, I was trying to see if I can finish the game despite skipping some quests/stuff.

Currently here, where you find wendigo again, i already did the stuff here, i'm just going around for stuff i missed.
I'm not sure if this was ever brought to the attention of Larian, but I'm unable to move here. The torture stuff blocks any movement to and from the secret passage.

No, that's not how it works at all. Corruptor bypasses immunity to poison, but delat poison doesn't give immunity, but rather it suppresses the effects of poison. It's a subtle difference but it's what makes Corruptor not bypass it. You're still affected by the poison, you just don't feel the effects. Same thing with Unbreakable Heart and Confusion or Domination effects.

There is no need for this general anyway. There are regular threads for every game that is frequently discussed on here. At a glance on the /vrpg/ catalogue there is a solasta 2, pathfinder, banquet for fools, pillars of eternity, owlcat/larian shitflinging thread, fallout 1, baldurs gate 3. vtmb and NWN.

This general exists for nothing but people who use this as their only outlet for socialisation. If you want to actually talk about any game, you should go to /vrpg/ The only benefit of this general is that it is sometimes faster.

I don't mind Ulfar and Argenta being immune But kinda of annoying that Kibbels and Idira have a corruption path that you can see and experience, while Abelard,Jae and Cassie doesn't really show or say anything unique when you play heretical RT. Even Solomorne doesn't really have a corruption path even though he would fit perfectly as a Khorne follower thematically during Act 3 Cumrag

Jimmy feels super weird because Owlcat did create a radical path for him, would be fun to see him indulge more and more chaos as a tool after Kiava Gamma in-game instead of being told in an ending slide where he gets killed off screen

Esoteric Ebb combat is a fucking mess that work only if you CON-maining. Every fight is basically scripted to end after a specific amount of turns, with only rare cases of you having a chance to affect it by a successful roll to finish it for like 1 turn faster, and without the biggest amount of health possible you just keep restarting the fight constantly do to damage you receive outdamage your healing spells.

Warriors are really good if you take polymorph in Dos2 are honestly stronger than mages
Martials of all kinds feel very good in pillars of eternity. Barbarians for example are really good in the first game
Martials also feel good in pathfinder if you don’t mind buffing them
Martials take a bit of a backseat to magic in Tyranny but don’t let anyone tell you they are bad because they aren’t. A shield and sword user or a two-handed user are both really good. You could also dip into magic and get some basic buffs to avoid bringing mages at all if you so wish, your mileage may depend on difficulty
Martials are just better than mages in dos1 period too

I don't even know how diseases work in this game. Sometimes you get an instant stat drain, othertimes it feels like it does nothing at all. Anyway, doesn't Restoration remove diseases automatically?
>>
>>560704809
Did you try treat affliction
>>
>>560708545
Nah I just rerolled until it finally landed after 40 or so casts. It is more efficient now that you remind me since you use your religion level iirc
>>560708367
I am not sure about restoration but I dont have it on Daeren yet and I did not prepare it on Cam. The reason why it seems like both is because diseases activate once per day and if you fail the check you take stat damage. The dc of this isn't too bad, 18 dc vs the 25 to remove it (requiring a natural 20, at least when cast from a wand). But you need to save 3 times to cure it.

It's crazy how much easier Leper's smile is if you know what is ahead and skip straight to the boss
If you have the bookworms headband for mind affecting immunity, 10+ copies of unbreakable heart stocked up, and skip straight to the boss it's just a cakewalk. The boss itself is a joke.
Kineticists can also oneshot the swarms with an empowered magma storm which is great.
There is no reason to torture yourself over the 300 or so exp from the swarms around area since the loot isn't worth it either, not that you can touch it without your entire army dying.
The area is damn near impossible if you don't know what you'll find here or don't happen to have the solution on you, and super easy once you do
Is this good game-design? I'm not sure
>>
>>560710279
Never found Leper's Smile difficult (probably because I didn't even think about looting the place), but the first time it had a nice atmosphere of desperation
I miss the sense of oppressiveness and dread Act 2 had the first time I played the game. Moving into the Worldwound felt like you were actually heading somewhere dangerous, which made getting the Mythics at the end of Act 2 feel like a great milestone.
>>
>>560710693
Yeah the vibe of act 2 is really good and I feel act 3 doesn't really hold up compared to act 1 and 2 to due having a more nebulous goal and whatnot
Act 2 has some good set-pieces and the crusader minigame is pretty relaxing here
But Lepers smile really brutal man
The real issue isn't the swarms per se, it's that the map holds a fight with 6+ swarms that come in from all directions and spawn in behind you during the fight.
If you go down the first entrance from the queen, or alternatively to the first left path and fight your way up, that is where you'll find it

CRPG means Computer RPG.
it's about using the typical conventions and staples from tabletop RPGs. That's where the term CRPG came from, because TTRPGs were just called Roleplaying games back then, so this was the only way they had to differentiate them.
So a CRPG has to have stuff like dice-roll combat, a focus on player choices and influence, and a focus on preparation and commitment.

I'm too old to enjoy souls games now. They do nothing but raise my blood pressure and stress me out. The elden ring DLC was the final straw for me

>>560725730
NTA but the DLC was shit, the shards are just there to give the illusion of difficulty by forcing you to do busywork to get rid of their effect, and the camera isn't good with many of the bosses
>>
>>560725730
My life long strategy for playing hard games is to just stop playing for the night and boot up a farming sim or something when I get frustrated.
>>
I never played any soulsshit, I only saw them from webms posted sometimes on this site
They all look like an absolute garbage
There is nothing to do but fight, because there are only monsters in them with no actual quests, npcs or friendly locations
But fighting itself is shit as well, with intentionally badly designed movement
I only learned that some elden ring exists when people tried to use it as an excuse for TWW3 under-performing, instead of correctly blaming CA for their retardation.
>>
>>560726380
Not a souls superfan but this is all wrong. There are quests, NPCs, friendly locations. The fighting is a strategy in itself and when you manage to win it feels so fucking good.

It's actually a girl dragon. I think all the dragons in pillars of female now I think about it.

>>560730934
She wasn't supposed to be, but it's a nice headcanon.
They were just recycling all the Critical Role people they had available, because someone at Obsidian thought full VO was a good idea, even thought they had no resources for that. And nobody in the playerbase being even interested in full VO to begin with, instead preferring for the limited budget to be go into more story content or companions.

The first part of the game is a slow burn and a big lore dump. It does pick up but it's hard at first because you're dropped into a world with religious war, gods, magic, factions, races etc and you're sort of left to discover it all my dialogue or books.

NTA but Edér, Aloth, and Durance are the only good companions in the base game. imo it was like those three were Obsidian's favourites while the rest were given whatever resources were left after those three were done.
Hiravias is just a gremlin who doesn't even get a companion quest.
The dwarf, Maya's brother, and Pallegina were very dull, and I didn't care for their quests or personalities.
Grieving Mother felt like she needed just a bit more development to become good.
I've heard that the DLC companions are good though

People suggest builds whenever someone comes around to ask for one.
Gameplay usually gets mentioned whenever people talk about how RTWP could be developed further. Also of course when someone asks / talks about the gameplay and anons feel like discussing it
PoE is just a rather old game at this point, and it's been a long time since Deadfire. Not really much reason to just randomly start talking about the gameplay side of things, but since the setting is still alive some anons like to discuss it and what Obsidian might decide to do with it

Dune:Awakening has an okay rpgish storyline if you play it single player or with a couple friends instead of over-focusing on the survival/builder aspect, actually. I wouldn't consider it a proper crpg but its not a bad option if you really want some Dune gaming.

Does Rogue Trader have as many combat encounters as other Owlcat games?
I prefer turn based when its done well but only if there isnt a group of trash mobs every 20 feet. If Wrath of the Righteous did have RTWP I would have quit in act 1 because of how much fucking combat there is, turn based takes 3x as long.

Not as many but there are still a lot of annoying areas where you keep running into groups of enemies. It doesn't have the pre-combat buff issues of the PF games though, and there are ways to kill lots of enemies at once.

The combat is actually my favorite part of Deadfire. It has one of the best multiclassing systems in CRPGs. There are all kinds of fun interactions to build a character around. There are weird aspects that take a bit to understand like power level, inspiration/affliction hierarchies, and the weird math of effect stacking. But once you figure that stuff out it’s very fun. I also really like the disposition system support roleplaying mechanically. It’s frustrating how much Deadfire is undermined by narrative and character issues (plus the fucking boat stuff) given how much it does well. That’s a big reason why I really want a Pillars 3. Not just the chance to fuck pale elves.

He's a sagacious guy who's willing to take massive risks (and sacrifices) by plunging into unknown. He adheres to imperial dogma, but is still capable of thinking outside of that box, even if short-sighted peers make it lethal. He uses secrecy and deception, but if Lord captain proves herself capable enough he's willing to let her in on the scheme - and puts in a good argument why that is the most optimal and pious choice.

I feel like chaos Abelard is slightly out of character. He does it because he's ultimately most loyal to you as the head of the dynasty, he's more loyal to you than he is opposed to chaos, but his characterization is such that he cares about the well being of his officers and his peers and his students and the like, and someone who cares about other people's well being would be opposed to chaos. But this never really comes up, since he follows your orders even if those orders harm him and the officers and the crew.

That is just untrue Hiravius has a companion quest, a pretty good one in fact, where you delve into his aspect, i.e. the stelgar, and how it has affected his life and what it means for his future

I hated galactic combat in that game. It's just a shitty on the rails shooter and agreed with Deadfire. I think Obsidian have said it was badly implemented but something like RTs ship combat. I just ended up auto'ing most battles or boarding for combat as it was quicker and more enjoyable.
>Impside is actually more populated than pubside as a result.
It helps that their stories are better written too. Empire stories are personal stories for your character. Republic stories are about the republic and you are just a piece in that story, quite removed from it all.

Aaand I'm done with DOS2. Explored the different endings as well.

The game really shines in combat, it's the most fun I've had so far in CRPGs due to very interactive mechanics. Sometimes exploiting the situation feels right to me, because the player is sometimes at a disadvantage against the encounters (higher level, better positions, larger in numbers, special skills, etc), specifically, fuck Isbeil's encounter.
Since the player is at a disadvantage, I guess it would've been nice if certain encounters weren't done that surprises the player, like the citizens that turn into demons in Arx. They're at level 20 and I was at level 17. Or maybe just some slight adjustment would be okay, but that's just for me.

As for puzzles, they're okay, but the puzzle in DOS1 is a bit better, like having to get a specific weight was a bit fun, imo. At the last stretch, I was practically done with the game, so the POWER levers was just tiresome for me. I think Larian should've moved these into Act 2 instead.

Lastly, the story. It's an interesting rise to divinity story, I'll give Larian that. Having to help my god, then killing him and then claiming divinity was good enough to keep my interest. However..
>>
Ulbrig is a pretty good damage dealer and his ab is decent but his ac is so fucking piss you genuinely need to give him 100 buffs to send him into melee because he will die if the enemy decides to focus him randomly

>6.5/10
>>
>>560833562
Some parts of the story, specially Act 3 onwards and specially the ending slides weren't good and could've been handled better.

The dreamworld for Red Prince where you go all matrix and die in the real world if you die there is just an excuse for Larian to wrap up Red Prince's quest. Why even the need for a dream world? Maybe they could've just had the princess have her egg in Kemm's mansion or whatever.. I recall that Larian wanted all the maps to be interconnected, maybe this was the only way they could think of to wrap Red Prince's quest, through a dream world. The desert world was nice to look at, but that was just 2 maps. It's a waste.

A good example of the writing otoh, imo, is the often praised Lohse's quest, particularly the candles, that was pretty good. Garreth's and Alexandar's were also pretty good, imo.

The kind of silly writing: everybody was working for the godking. It's not really bad, it's just a bit silly that there wasn't any one person that's trying to do the good thing, except you, apparently. Even Malady has that favor of hers.

Now the ending slieds.
Man, wtf. I don't even know some of the characters that I got the ending slides to. Some guy, maybe from act 2 becomes a tavern owner? Okay? Some dwarf I forgot became the mayor? I think there was a big backlash on the original release's ending slides which prompted Larian to just make ending slides for practically anyone in this game. You could also tell from the quality of the art because there was a mismatch of it in the ending slides.

What's really bad is when you surrender to the Godking and then next is you're on the boat and everyone hates your guts. I don't think the choice is bad, it's just how everyone dislikes you but you're all on the same boat, and they don't even attack you or whatever.

Anyway, that's my 2c. Thanks for reading my blog.

Any advice for mister Shival here besides coming back later?
I've stacked every ac increasing effect I have available and he just hits and kills me through protective luck and displacement in a single turn
>>
>>560835674
I don't care
regardless my number would be higher if autists were not OP warring
>>
>>560835775
I equipped the war kilt belt for an additional 2 ac and that was technically speaking unlucky but I really cant see any other way of keeping him tankable that is not getting lucky with dispels
I would use summons but I literally cannot hit the guy from range with his high spell resistance and ac
>>
>>560835928
the issue is that he just ignores my frontline so any melee character i put into range of him dies
>>
>>560835928
If you have the azata summoning tankard from act 2 the summon from that will spam dispels for you.
Fishing for rolls with that thing while spamming cc was how I got through ridiculous prebuffed bullshit fights early on like the cave guy in Ulbrig's quest.

Well it's done but at a "great" cost
It took me one additional rest because I had to switch out my party
I'll probably have to rest after this too
It also cost be the singular terendevs scale I am allowed to use
This guy is a real dickhead. He teleports into my team with righteous might for extra reach active and targets everyone but my tank
It doesn't matter if I send in my tank first he'll still kill whoever I send next to him
I had some vanish pots for just this occasion but it's not enough
He randomly targets Seelah while on her mount
His crit range is only 18-20 if I understand correctly but in my attempts he has crit probably 50% of the time
The amount of times where he not only beat concealment, beat protective luck, but also crit anyway is astounding
I get that he is an optional encounter and all but adding a double damage on crit extended crit range enemy with 36 ac, 25 spell resist, saving throws of 22+ in every stat, and an ab or 32 something with high dispel checks to boot is crazy

I tried the fight again to see if I could get away with zero deaths but nope
I am starting to think this is a bug
If you are concealed and the enemy hits you you are automatically crit as well
>>
>>560837817
If an enemy kills something it'll switch to whatever the next target is in range for the rest of their attacks and this ignores mounts for whatever reason so anyone riding a mount with low ac will probably get chunked. Enemies don't give a shit about tanks. They just swing at whatever the weakest target is in their attack range. Probably why swarms mindbreak the AI so much.
>>
I fucking hate animal companions in WOTR, they take up too much space.
By far my least favorite part of this game is my party getting stuck on each other in combat and not being able to squeeze past in hallways. Big fuckass wolves, horses and dinosaurs just make it even worse while also making it harder to actually see what the fuck is going on.

Also mounts are stupid, rising a horse into a small house is funny but also retarded.

With the way armor works in DOS2. Is it not better to just have all characters focus on either physical or magical instead of a classic mixup
>>
>>560838309
Well after a lot of trial and error I have determined that you can tank him without fully dispelling his ac buffs but it is hard and to get away without anyone dying, but it requires specific steps and luck, because your tank may still die through every buff due to his high crit range meaning he hits a lot more than usual even if your ac is crazy, like 60. Mine wasn't but him critting on a 17 means even protective luck wont protect you from a crit into death combo, on unfair that would be double damage too for 4x total
You have to send in your tank first, so maybe get some summons in the meantime since he will always focus them if you summon them before he engages you.
He switches targets after missing some hits and seems to love prioritising new targets that enter his range so your tank will only aggro him for maybe 1-2 turns
With this in mind everything you send in needs to be buffed with concealment and you should consider delaying your people until you see a kill. Greater invis is great here for +2 to your attack, with this and debilitating injury + evil eye his ac is trivial enough.
Diehard is great on your pets, and any pet killed doesn't matter anyway
Last stand on Seelah helped a ton, I see that I should have arguably taken it instead of abundant casting on Woljif too. Those two turns is what made this possible
His ac isn't that bad to hit, it's better than his spell pen so I would recommend a team of last stand melee characters with outflank to just kill him for a party, besides your buffers
Alternatively you can dispel every buff until you remove freedom of movement, bait his dimension door with a pet, and drag him through spike stones while peppering him with arrows until you win
>>
>>560839463
Yes but only to an extent. There are enemies with no or low magic or physical armor as late as the last bossfight of the game and you can just focus the right targets. But it is easier to focus one armor type and for most fights of the game it won't matter that you can't target the other type
But making an effective 4 man squad of either phys or mag takes some game knowledge to avoid anti-synergy in equipment and damage types + environmental effects for magic
There are also mixed damage dealers like rangers and summoners that can let you focus on 1 armor type in a given fight even with a mixed damage party
>>
>>560839463
yes, me and a friend did that. He controlled 2 physical melee characters and I controlled 2 casters that focused on blood (phyiscal),healing,buffing and debuffing.

The whole armor system became a non issue very early on with us just ignoring blue armor
>>
>>560839463
Generally, but there's a lot of stuff that has one type of armour much lower than the other, so it's nice to be able to exploit that. A summoner, ranger, sparks warfare/pyro, and hydro/aero is a good example party that can focus on bursting down magic armour while also taking advantage of phys weak enemies.
>>
>>560839463
There are enemies where the armor goes:
100 phys, 600 mag, or
500 phys, 100 mag

Some enemies come with magic armor only or physical armor only without the other. This makes party composition dependent on your how you plan to play. Personally, having the right skills, like making everyone learn Teleportation, Chicken Claw or Sleeping is more important.

You need freedom to ignore his paralyze spell.
You cast greater invis on your attackers so they attack him flayt footed.
You use last stand or summons to tank all these overbuffed secret bosses.
You can cast corruptor+gas cloud to disable him.
That's pretty much the fight.

I agree but I always hated that the imperial ships looked like they were from the GCW era, like technology was stagnant for thousands of years giving them the same tie fighter look and also that the sith aligned factions weirdly just aligned to that look across the ages.

I feel they thought the first game sold well because it was good and not because it had "from the makers of Fallout New Vegas" plastered everywhere and so greenlit a sequel.
>>
>>560849838
>"from the makers of Fallout New Vegas"
It was this reason. Then the game was nothing like New Vegas

I still remember how people were hyping it up as New Vegas 2: Electric Bogaloo that would shatter Todd's colon
Then it came out and everyone realised it wasn't New Vegas 2, and all discussion around it died, with all 'tubers acting like they hadn't just spent months hailing it as the next coming of Christ

>inb4 cope but Avowed and both outer worlds were made and marketed as gamepass games. They are probably on a much higher play count there

Honestly when this launched hardly anyone knew it excited because it was crowdfunded on a literal who website they I think had connection to Obsidian. So not only did no one know it existed, bad marketing made it look like a pirate game.

Whoever did this needs to be shot. I made an entire character based around Demonic Charge only to learn that absolutely none of it actually works. Im not going to use the normal charge when I have a cooler power that's literally called Demonic Charge, this is the stupidest design decision i've ever seen.
Is there a mod that fixes this
