I wanna smooch her.

>the necrons had devices that could literally kill demons and instantly close warp rifts simply by existing but they don’t exist anymore or something because reasons. also no other race managed to reverse engineer these devices or create technology with the same power because. the ancient peoples of a time now forgotten were very powerful and mysterious This is actually the dumbest ip ever created
>>572616927see link in >>572616471worked fine for years before froggy's return and his forced schizolist with not crpgs and canceled titles
>>572615602>Did you buy any CRPGs in the Steam Sale?No. I already owned any I had any remote interest in.
>>572616757>Do not trust Areelu, shereen.
>>572615602>TQI already have tons of them waiting for me to play them. Granted, 6 are just the Avernum series, but stillStarted Underrail last week though, pretty fun so far. Will probably play Planescape: Torment after it
>>572616946you think you can just "reverse engineer" ancient alien tech? do you even know what reverse engineering means or did you just want to use that
Why is 70% of this thread some retard talking about himself in the third person

>>572615602My friend gifted me RT but I still have my pirated copy and I want to wait for all the dlc to be released before playing it officially
crpgs for this feel?starting as a weak bean with nothing to their name and slowly becoming a powerful godlike beingbonus points if theres a cast of decent NPCs
>>572616757IDK but I read/saw a story someone posted here once of Iomedae, Saranae and Desna '''purifying''' Nocticula with their futacocks to help get her ready to become a goddess.
>>572615602I bought the highly acclaimed crpg "clannad"
>>572617490Literally the first two Baldur's Gate games
>>572617461scams like this are why I'm not gifting anymore

>>572617015>>572618012you literally tried to bump an entire thread by spamming vtmb 2 picswhy should we use your OP?you're no better than Frosch maybe it's time we create a new list so both of you schizos can fuck off with your lists
>>572616946>>572617962Admech have been trying. Humans are a psychic species. Being around a bunch of blackstone literally makes people kill themselves. This was all explained during pariah nexus
>>572618347What do you mean by. Being gay or abused by a demon?
>>572618501>your OP?it's not my OP it existed for years you dumbfuck
>>572616946>>the necrons had devices that could literally kill demons and instantly close warp riftscorrect>>but they don’t exist anymore or something because reasons.They spent MILLIONS of years in stasis, quite much 80-90% of their population is also dead DEAD as majority of the Tomb World failed in these millions of year and all the necrons sleeping inside these dead tomb world cannot be reactivated anymore>also no other race managed to reverse engineer these devices or create technology with the same power becauseDo you have a fucking idea of what Necrontyr can do? Trazyn in the RT DLC unironically used 0,0001% of his power.Imperium is literally millions of years behind these motherfuckers, Aldari could have made it if they didn't spawned their own oblivion and now they are going extinct> the ancient peoples of a time now forgotten were very powerful and mysteriousThey forgot nothing, it's a matter of numbers, the necrons are simply too few to seriously take over the galaxy at this point and their dinasties fights each other all the time so their already few numbers are getting smaller and smaller each time two necron lords decide they want to kill each other.Super Necrons like Trazyn or Orikan also are more busy doing their own personal shit to care about anything else, one wants to catalogue the universe, the other has a time machine and use it just for the sake to piss off Trazyn changing historical events some thousands or millions years in the pastThen there is the Silent King, who is now back from his self exile and wants to soul transfer the entire Necron race into the bodies of all humans in the galaxy at once, and he could potentially do that with a power source strong enough but Imotekh the Stormlord doesn't want to go being a sack of mortal flesh again so sooner or later a major war between Necrons is going to happen
>>572618348how does it apply to kmthe kingdom (which is being openly propped as a buffer state) is the reward for a job that's presented as a free for all to all the adventurers invited to the gathering, with you beating the other team trying for it (In part because he also killed much of the competition)
>>572618723>Trazyn in the RT DLC unironically used 0,0001% of his power.is 40k an anime setting
Classic immigrant behavior>escapes her shithole>comes to your country>"wow this place is ass, my country was much better!"Alright, go back then
>>572618582yeah, sure buddyi'm sure mass effect was part of /crpgg/ for years
>>572616946War in HeavenFall of the EldarDark Age of TechnologyAnd it’s not like the Imperium doesn’t have anti-warp tech as it is.
>>572618012thanks
>>572618938Girls PLEASEI installed the mod, there's enough of me for everyone here
Guys, I didn't boughted anything yet this sale
>>572618940yeah check the archives
Trazyn is a bitch and I kicked his ass. My OC donut steel wipes his ass with your super powerful lore characters.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRmYZZ17iCMOrikan should have been part of the DLC too
>>572619139you just started and are already whoring around
>>572619202>literally decide the fight is over and you should fuck off>warps you before you can blink back to your shipEverything Trazyn did to the Von Valancius happened because he was just fucking BORED and mildy annoyedAt no point he acknowledge you as more of a roach
>>572616946>don't exist anymoreCome on, even RT explains this somewhat.>reverse engineer
>>572618839yes
>>572617378it isn't, he picked the OP image as a way to call me out as he often does, he thinks being a stalker is cute
>>572618506Admech are retards that consider invention a “heresy” though. They replace their brains with windows xp processors and consider binary a high art>>572618723It’s the anti-warp devices being literally the most valuable technology in all of existence and the fact that they aren’t literally everywhere and coveted and fought over by everyone that makes no sense. Also all of this necron lore is insanely ridiculous and exactly what I’m saying >a gorillion year old sigma robot who went on self-imposed exile for another gorillion years in search of forbidden knowledge has recently returned and is mysteriously hatching a super secret awesome plot that other necrons don’t like… rumor has it he has the power to thanos snap but he’s just chilling rn nobody really knows what could happen but it’s something big also he could literally defeat the entire human race if he wanted to
>>572619228What I find interesting is that banter between Jaheira, Viconia and Aerie only happens if you have their romances active, so these are literally catfights, kinda like Morrigan and Leliana in DAOThey don't make games like this anymore....
>>572619449MEDS
>>572618778yeah I played the game, despite having relevant plot point being the governor of a relatively lackluster kingdom management system isn't really want I am looking fornot the roleplaying experience I want to live
>>572618839if he ever was serious fighting you the RT would have never stood a chance against him.He can bend over and rape any Primarch and Daemon Prince in his path (he did, multiple times even)
>>572619575It's not a schizo thing, there's an anon (probably a site mod) that follows me around in various threads and says little things or does certain things to try and let me know he's watching like I'm supposed to be spooked or something.
>>572618938She can’t. She’s an asylum-seeker and not without cause.
>>572619490>It’s the anti-warp devices being literally the most valuable technology in all of existenceIt really isn't.>hat they aren’t literally everywhere and coveted and fought over by everyone that makes no sense.Because they can't just be made easily.And Trazyn isn't that ridiculous, the power level difference is just that high. The Imperium is genuinely nothing compared to those present during the War in Heaven. Him bullying you, some Rogue Trader, is par for the course.
>>572619720>and says little things or does certain thingslike what you schizo bitch
>>572619490>rumor has it he has the power to thanos snap but he’s just chilling rn nobody really knows what could happen but it’s something big also he could literally defeat the entire human race if he wanted toHe wants to Thanos snap humanity and soul transplant Necron in our bodies because immortality sucks and philosophy and they cannot breed more necrontyr right now so he understand they are simply going to die and vanishImothek however is all "retard being sigma bots is BASED"He came back because of the tyranids due "if these fuckers eats everything i will have no fucking bodies to soul transfer in!"
You already know
>>572619809>She can’tWow, it's almost as if the drow are less civil than us rivvil and she's just crying as she strikes you
>>572619202Sure you did big boy. Trazyn isn’t “the Infinite” because he’s a hoarder or has a big house.
>>572619720>froggy is a mod nowyou're so deranged
>>572618938
I already have Shadowrun Hongkong and the other one, still have to pay through disco Elysium, still going through dragon age origins (and two and inquisition) and I'm on my next dogmatic playthrough for RTDo I seem like I have time and money to get another crpg on my backlog?
>>572619490>Admech are retards that consider invention a “heresy” though.This doesn't stop them>It’s the anti-warp devices being literally the most valuable technology in all of existence and the fact that they aren’t literally everywhere and coveted and fought over by everyone that makes no sense. They aren't and they are dangerous to psychic species like Humans and Eldar. Cutting off Warp completely would most likely kill all psychic races. Natural state of the galaxy is with warp flooding in, Necrons tried to seal it off during War in Heaven to fuck over Eldar and Old Ones, hence the Pylons. Unstable Warp and Chaos weren't an issue for a longer time until Eldar made Slaanesh and Humans provided Chaos Gods with generals and armies>a gorillion year old sigma robot who went on self-imposed exile for another gorillion years in search of forbidden knowledgeNo, Necrons lost, had to surrender and wait until their enemies are weakened so they can try again> is mysteriously hatching a super secret awesome plot that other necrons don’t like…Disagreements are normal>rumor has it he has the power to thanos snap but he’s just chilling rn nobody really knows what could happen but it’s something big also he could literally defeat the entire human race if he wanted toWhy are you making shit up
the not ME rip off won't have CC
>>572619982>vagueposts like a schizo>"can you be more specific you schizo bitch">no you already know stop stalking meMEDS NOW
>>572619842What could possibly be more valuable than a device that literally holds the fabric of reality together>in the past there was this super epic battle to the death and sorcerers were flying around and there were gods and stuff and everyone was way more powerful and cooler than humanity and it was awesome and based and stuff also this gorillion year old robot sigma could totally single-handedly defeat all of humanity with his pinkie finger if he wanted to it’s just numbers This is all very grimdark
>my druidic senses tell me something is afoot about this woman...Wow thank you Jaheira, I didn't notice that the pale woman with bloodied lips meeting us at midnight in the graveyard might have something weird about her. Thank you for your sixth sense.
That's your obsession, don't put it off onto me.
>>572620397I love how they're really trying to dodge any proper statement about it. >Defined characterHeh
What's that supposed to mean, you FUCKING BITCH
>>572620762That she enjoyed it more than she expected retard, that you had passionate lovemaking, that it was the first time she felt intimate instead of a tool.She becomes your cocksleeve after this
>the empire, the drukhari, and the Eldar are all killed>chaos is defeated and the warp is closed forever >necroids kill the tyranids and go back to sleep >tao chads inherit the universeSounds based to me
>>572620285>Cutting off Warp completely would most likely kill all psychic races.Just see what happens when an untrained unsanctioned Blanks walks by normal humans, normal humans can react from feeling discomfort to getting afflicted by an intense murderous frenzy desire to kill the Blank.A Psyker will start bleeding from all his holes until he drops dead with the liquified brain dripping out ears and noseNow that sort of necron tech does this but amplified, humans and aeldar cannot simply exist near something like that
>>572620762That she's not a virgin, waifufags will cope
>>572620762>Wow Rogue Trader, I didn't expect that, there's so much more to you than I thought>WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEANGenuinely funny
>>572620917>after thisshe always was
>>572620917>first time she felt intimate instead of a toolWTF is she some kind of cum dumpster?
>>572620959Make the Tau cute, increase their lifespan, and we have a deal
>>572620762>>572621073>>572620917Presupposing failure by the Rogue Trader is open seditionI'm afraid the airlock is the only treatment
>>572620762She means that she wants you to give her babies.
>>572621026Why do you retards keep pushing this memeVirgins have expectations for sex, hell it's more likely for a virgin to be surprised by how sex actually is than for a non virgin, this should be obviousI'm not saying she is 100% a virgin for sure but this is the dumbest piece of "evidence" to rely on
>>572619490They’ve been trying. Unfortunately if you fuck it up you can open a warp rift across the galaxy.https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Pylon
Kiblards
>>572620959The Tau are a psyker race tooit's just that this knowledge is hidden by their Ethereal caste
>>572621286She's an assassin.She's just a blade, that's the entire point of her character arc, her realizing she was just used her whole life
Why do you care if she's a virgin or not when she's 100% loyal to you?
Is there any way to avoid losing someone on the first turn of the chaos space marine battle in the tutorial?He just seems to be able to do way more damage on that first turn than any other turn.Like the battle is easy as fuck, but he always kills someone on that first turn.
>>572621026>>572621682What is the point of this
>Would you be a doll and brew me some coffee?Holy BASED
>>572620397the more i hear about the actual game the worse it comes across
This is the best tavern ambience I've ever listened to. It really sells the idea of closing shadowy dealings near the fighting pits, while pleasure slaves are secretly smuggled above.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ1gnuuRdjMBoomers were right on this one, this is soul.
>>572620275Yes. Buy them all.
>>572621682you KNOW this guy is cucked lmao
>>572621794bg2's soundtrack is sovl
>>572621929so who is your waifu?

>>572622005Camellia
>>572622232lol
So we made a pirate princess that will banter with you after stealing from your protectorate and making herself a nuisance, forcing you to fly all over the place before finally stopping her. Oh, yeah, the autistic African policeman will be the romance for the dlc: don’t worry, he’s bisexual.
>>572620762pasqals _toasterbros??? WTF IS THIS
>>572622358>after stealing from your protectorate???????????
>>572622358last dlc gave you a sex slave bro
>>572618543>abused by a demon?That's a given for a psyker
>>572622714who wanted eogunn sex
>>572622964Yrilet
>>572622358CRPGs don't do non-companion romances enough. Having a rival that shows up throughout the game and you start hatefucking halfway through the game would be kino.
>>572622964I did
>>572623074bro your cleopatra
>>572623074I think you confuse romances with flingsI think you confuse crpgs with sex rpgs
>>572623321>I think you confuse romances with flingsI don't>I think you confuse crpgs with sex rpgsI don't, sex is a normal part of human life
male monkeighs only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
>>572623074I get it's not a CRPG but this is literally the Female Smuggler path in SWTOR.
VS also gave you Jocasta
>>572623543now I might have to play the tortanic
>>572623074>DAI is pretty much the only example of thisGrim
>>572623547no reddit, jocasta is not a romance
>recruit autistic policeman >he has you chase after a known pirate >finally find “him,” it’s actually a woman and she surrenders after you wound her ship >autistic policeman lists out her transgressions and demands her execution but you can recruit her to save her life >autistic policeman hates her passionately but she’s sweet and iconoclast and nothing like her reputation >autistic policeman does everything he can to harass her and chastise you for protecting her>at the end you can force the autistic policeman to pardon her in a number of humiliating ways It would be sigma kino
REGINA
>>572623641you can fuck her and thats all you want
>>572624017you talking with different people, and no, I've never fucked her nor do I plan to, the mere idea of sticking my dick inside this thing even with a fictional character is utterly disgusting to me
Abelard knocks up Jocasta but you can't. Is this a humiliation ritual?
>>572622051Finally, some kino writing in this DLC
>>572624263CHADbelard is just much cooler, sorry

I'm liking KorganBut the other evil spot in the party was reserved for Edwin....
>>572623074Hard to justify that dev time for more than a fling when it could be used to expand a companion that players will be spending far more time with. There is of course Nyrissa.
>>572624160her weird metal chin looks like a stupid goatee and thats a huge turn off
>>572624381He makes Aerie leave if you have her in your party
>>572624381Korgan is the best. Also Axes are pretty good for a fighter.
>>572624475>>572624160>not replacing the portraits of every fuckable female in the game
>>572624475I did straight up think she was a 60 year old black man until the game specifically said "She"
>>572624701The man named Jocasta
>>572625093who names their child after the famous incest woman
>>572624657Kek, does every evil party member simply bully Aerie?
>>572625093Lol ya there's no WAY 39000 years in the future names might get mixed up
When should I proceed with the Imoen mission in bg2? I have the gold, but I got it just by doing Nalia's quest alone, I haven't even been in all the town districts yet, let alone explored them.Obviously rp wise I should rush to save her but I don't want to leave the city before exploring it, it feels like the game blueballing me
>>572624160>i'm a faggot blah-blah-blah
>>572625998Jungle fever fags will genuinely take the ugliest black woman they can find and call you a faggot if you don't want to fuck her huh
>>572625871I like doing everything because once you go rescue Imoen you won't be back to Athkatla for a while
>>572602987Give the back to the hobos of course
>>572625387Yeah shes easy to bully
>>572625871There’s no perfect answer. If you plan to use Imoen as your main mage long term it’s good to do it sooner rather than later to avoid out leveling her accidentally. If you have other mages you’re using then the timing is less critical. I will say that I think splitting the quests between Chapter 2 and Chapter 6 feels best to me. If you want to make things a little easier for yourself a good approach in my opinion is to spend your first wad of cash on the Shield of Balduran, to punk Beholders, and then buy passage. Fighting beholders “properly” is doable with enough spells and/or the right party members. But it’s always a pain in the ass.
>>572617456By steadily improving on crystal radio technology. It was being worked on for years, behind the scenes during the thermionic valve era
nobody's falling for your <ugly black woman> pysops
>>572625871At least do whatever is in the Graveyard district first.
>Attack laarthyr>Millicentilia is mad at meNice game
>>572626689>Imoen as your main mage long termI like Imoen but I'm a wizard and I will also use Edwin (when I fucking find the bastard simian ape gorilla monkey, which is why I want to keep exploring) and right now I'm with Aerie too, so we do not have a lack of wizards.>>572626341>you won't be back to Athkatla for a whileYeah I'll explore a bit more thenI won't do everything, but a couple of more quests can't hurt.
>>572626908>people actually believe this
>>572625871The Imoen-rescue series of missions can be too difficult if you rush into it because you'll be under-geared and under-levelled. I like to buy a few things from the adventurer mart, which inevitably drains my finances and forces me to explore a fair bit more and do more quests before SpellholdI would take my time, but not do absolutely everything
Who are the designated femcel baits of DH?
>>572625871I went once I was lvl 10-11 and all my party members had 3+ weapon. You will come back to the city and finish everything before endgame
>>572627183You should probably take Yoshimo with you to Spellhold
>>572627419women crave cogg
>>572615602Dark Heresy release date fucking when
>>572627419Laarthyr and Touma
I'm starting to understand why some people have a gripe with the Aerie romanceEvery interaction so far is just her dumping backstory on me, she's cute but Jaheira and Viconia actually feel dynamic, like our relationship is progressing, there are times with backstory but also times with genuine exchanges.Aerie is definetly cute, but the writers didn't really pace her dialogue properly.
>>572627183>EdwinGo to the Thieves Guild. Don’t worry they won’t ship you off to Imoen immediately.
>>572627419my husnat
>>572625871noimoen isn't going to die or anything so take your timei hate spell hold dungeon section so i try to rescue her only after completing almost evert quest
>>572627480Seconding this. He works well there >>572627471>once I was lvl 10-11 and all my party members had 3+ weapon. That sounds about right
>>572627636The Aeriefag isn't going to LIKE this
>>572627636Apparently Aerie's romance was just barely finished in workable form by release time. It's pretty incomplete.
>>572627636did you really install a mod to romance everyone or did you imagine a relationship just because a companion talked to you
>>572627636Yup. She’s cute and does mature a bit, but she’s going to do a big old trauma dump on you first. I actually think the Haer’Dalis love triangle is a nice wrinkle that adds something to the romance.
>>572628295>Haer’DalisThis fag tiefling was supposed to be a bi romance but they didn't get time to write it
>>572627419Touma and Saro
>>572628406>SaroThat's just an accident because he has a nice voice. He's meant to be a grandpa figure
Aerie really just feel in love with the first human male that showed her kindness
>>572627636Aerie is a cry a baby, Jaheria is too domineering Only Viccy is genuinely interesting
>>572628604Just like Yrliet
>>572628284>did you really install a mod to romance everyoneOf course I did, but even if I didn't this would still happen because (I think) you only commit to one later.>or did you imagine a relationshipA specific theme plays when these conversations start, and they all trigger at the same time for Jaheira, Viconia and Aerie, so I can only assume those are all romance talks.
>>572628750you're gross and a creep
which crpg has the best romance theme?
>>572627636No anon you don't understand everyone loves her and she's the ideal fulfillment of the male fantasy
Yrliet? More like toilet.
>>572628828aerie isn't real he won't hurt her feelings calm down
Well come on then. Come on! Come on!
>>572628907>everyone loves herWrong>she's the ideal fulfillment of the male fantasyTrue
>>572628750If you're already installing mods then why didn't you install companion mods too?some of the modded romance is pretty good like serene
>conversation going>how can I make this about yrliet?
>normal thread going>how can I mention Jocasta, Jae, Idira and all the other dogshit companions only I care about
>>572628750I like how each girl has her own romance music https://youtube.com/watch?v=wLx08bpZpH4https://youtube.com/watch?v=dg7qOLq7vHMhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=kspjfsM6DQ4
>>572629079well, how can I
I liked Idira. Well by the end anyway. Didn't like her at first.
>>572629190It's easy.You just type >Yrlietand pound that "post" button
>>572629079thats how her fags are
>>572628710>Jaheria is too domineeringOnly true right at the beginning were she still sees you as her ward. Once she starts catching feelings it’s a lot more complex. Most of it is about introspection and ideals.
>>572627636Aeries romance is cut content. So is Viconias, actually, but people don't notice that one as much. The only one who got her full intended arc finished was Jaheira, the rest were cut down due to time constraints. They also flat out cut Nalia and Valygars planned romances from the game altogether.
>>572629024I'm installing mods to be able to see most of the game's vanilla content in a single runAdding too much new content like new companions would warp my perception of the game itselfMaybe if in some years from now I go for a second run.
>>572629216I like her voice and how jolly she is. I could listen to her speak for ages.
So does this means at some point Trazyn just shows up in my bedroom with a strap on and that's it? I am locked in stasis in one of his museoms now?
>>572629420>Valygars planned romanceI always suspected that was planned Just the way he insists upon himself, as a character
>>572629420it's funny how that schizo will cry about crpgs not catering to men when they got 3 elves in bg2 while women got......... Anomen
>>572628984Where you at, bitch! Where you at?! Where you at?!
>>572629608it was over the moment he takes interest in you
>>572629608Yes
>>572629642>Schizo cries because he can't romance eldar>For an epic comeback anon brings up a game that has nothing to do with 40k that came out 26 years ago
>>572629642Anomen throwing bitchfits at you because of his daddy issues is soooo funny
>>572629420>So is Viconias, actually>We will never see the complete Viconia arcPain...
>>572629857???? nobody is talking about Yrliet rn take your meds
>>572629608you thought just "beaten him" (he gets bored and send you back to your voidships) was going to be enough to get off his radar?He likely waited for you to nominate an heir atleast, can't have the dinasty die off with you afterall
>>572630034Play ToB retard
>>572629608No, just say that he failed, that's why they intentionally wrote it that way. GW won't allow Owlcat to let Trazyn lose explicitly.
>>572629608Maybe someone will find you or Trazyn will decide to release you on someone else as part of some scheme in a few centuries or millennia.
>>572629608>his complete and undisputed possessiony-yandere robot
>>572629608Not getting a Trazyn romance was a male humiliation ritual
>>572630336>the outcome of this confrontation is unknowyou just know trazyn got his trophy.That slide explicit mention Trazyn returning years later and confrontated Von Valancius again100% he got you but left ambigous to not have to make a canon Von Valancius in his collection right now
>>572630704No, it was left ambiguous because the last thing they want is to make a DLC that forces a bad end
Athlanka as a city is MUCH better designed than Baldur's Gate.I really would like to know what bg1 would look like if developed from the start with all the lessons the devs seem to have learned, from companions to map and quest design, but keeping the same "low level hobo adventure" charm it had.
i love heinrix
>>572630690Trazyn will never sexually fuck anyone other than Orikanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuBhkgQChkU
>>572630841Keldorn likes Anomen though, even when he turns CN, Keldorn tries to help him
>>572630363I'm sure corsair Yrliet will come to save me once she hears that her Elantach has been kidnapped by a Necron
>>572630842All the zones are better too. No giant barren wastelands
>>572631193lol
I'll test your mettle with cold steel!
>>572631178I thought Anomen tries to fight him if he breaks his oath
>>572631232Yeah, bg1 could feel like a chore to explore, but you had to do it because quests and even companions where in random points in these barren wastelands (safana is really in the middle of nowhere)Here it feels smooth
>>572631448He does yes, but Keldorn tries to mentor Anomen even when the latter fails his test
>>572617456"We" didn't This guy did.He also invented glass tube valves.
divinity original sin 2 worth playing after bg3 or no
>>572631781lmaoWhat actually happened is that most of that stuff comes from xenos, which we filtered out to the public via stuff like bell labs
>>572631906No
Idk if the Mechwarrior boomer still posts here but if he does then this question is for himwhere can I find playable versions of mech warrior 2 and 3?both the IA and myabandonware versions don't work on win11

>>572632759wheres idira and kibbles and jae and yrtoilet
>>572624160Abelard hit that
>>572633448>>572632759Kibbles is very useful for that fight because she can jump over the forcefield
>You're cool, now can you compliment me too please :3>Of course Viconia, here's your compliment>I'll take it, even if it comes from A PIECE OF SHIT COWARD MALE DISGUSTING PIG FUCK YOU What was her problem
>>572631448Yes, because Anomen becomes a bitter, hateful drunk that basically is looking to die and he attacks Keldorn who is trying to snap him out of it and get him to start redeeming himself. Keldorn tries to help Anomen as much as he can, but Anomen only appreciates it if he passes his test and realizes what a jackass he was towards him the entire time.
>>572633015I don't think anyone even knows what "millennial story that's trying to hard" even means.

How's the overseer as a class?Is it any good when combined with psykery? I like the idea of having a familiar.
>>572644450Hate. Let me tell you about hate. There are a million threads posted on 4chan.org and if the word hate was written in every single post, it wouldn't be enough to represent one one millionth of the hatred I feel for Yrliet at this very microsecond
>>572648087The raven is amazing, the dog can do good damage with some specific builds, the skulls are good for officers, and the eagle is shit.
>>572648354The dog is fucking garbage too sadly, don't kid yourself
>>572648354Nice. Time to get a pet raven.
I see the line about the fat fold etc shitposted endlessly but this is actually a really good talk, easily the most intense so far.>opens up more about her survival, returning to the farmstead story>starts by making excuses for herself, how she was desperate etc>then does a 180 and tries to hurt the player, asking if he is amused by it, intentionally trying to make it sound as disgusting as possible>when shown pity rejects it and claims that actually she liked it, and if the player is really disgusted>when the player confirms that yes, it was indeed terrible, she calls him a coward>but pretends the thing the player is upset about is her beauty and he's just a gay coward, completely ignoring the story that she herself tried to use to disgust the player>This doesn't end the romance because obviously she is perfectly aware that's a proper reactionReally good, you can interpreted in a few different ways but its definetly layered, and there is a lot of cope there.>>572647476As long as I can get away with stealing without having to use the dastardly "hide in shadows" button, I'm fine.
>>572648087>Is it any good when combined with psykery?It's great. The raven is perfect for psykers, by turning many spells into multiple targets I find the eagle is a good damage-dealer
>>572648637>I whored myself to this fat bastard>That's horrible>Nah I enjoyed itNice conversation. She really went with the tongue huh
>>572648637Viconia is great. They really made her a complex and interesting character.BG1 seems like a practice run for BG2, the game they really wanted to make

Viconia telling you how much of a whore she is as a way to piss you off so you'll break up with her is something you would never see nowadays
>>572650330You picked the origin that only does melee stuff for a sniper?

why isn't this drow pure and innocent??
>>572651140You don’t have to but it’s nice to be able to use the stuff your character does
My self-insert is a drow and she is pure and innocent
>>572648637How come Yrliet doesn't have any cool stories like this?
>>572652264She told you about how a lesbian dared to Isha forgive me... touch her. Horrible stuff.
Researching DOS2There seems to be a lot of online sentiment about playing as an Origin character first instead of creating your own character What’s the deal with that Don’t most people like Custom in these games, even something like Durge
zoomie's first tsundere waifu>wow she's not saying how she exactly feels all the time>so deep and layered
>>572652469I just play customThe reason for DOS2 is that there is no camp for companions, you can only bring 3 with you past act 1, this means that any quest of theirs is lost.So if you play an origin you can play 4 companion stories instead of 3 if you were to play custom. Didn't bother me, went with custom + fane + sebylle + lhose.
>>572652448We support lesbians here.
>>572652469They have more "content" in that sense. Imagine playing DAO and there's an option for you to skip all that shit and start out on the Grey Warden camp. Origins carry their own story context.
>>572652132several bg3 drow tavs
>>572652713It's above average for a crpgCan I not praise some good dialogue?Could you present this done better in a crpg?
>>572652756>>572652773But if you play as a character, aren’t you effectively erasing that characters personality with your own choices
>>572652469In DOS2 origin characters have an actual questline and reactivity, custom characters have absolutely nothing, you can also customize origin characters' appearance so that makes custom characters even more irrelevant. In BG3 the custom character Tav once again doesn't get jack shit, BUT, Durge exists and is pretty clearly meant to be the actual main character of the game.
>>572652893You don't have to pick the dialogue choices that they have. For example, you can play as Sebille, an elf assassin slave. She has her own questline that you can follow and it's still up to you how that goes though frankly, more on how you just say stuff to people. Though I'm not sure how it plays out if you are an asshole to everyone and need to break out of the song.
Sorry but I will always pick customs, cry about it Swen
>>572652469It’s more like choosing a background with an actual quest for your character. It’s no different than being Gorion’s ward in bg.
>>572652879your praise is cringe
>>572653307The cringiest thing here is this war you've been waging against me these past days
>>572650385Wouldn't it make more sense to go Oracle with Demonic Curse?
>>572652050You can, the free reposition is a massive part of naval officerAnd a sniper operative has a bunch of free levels where you can take stuff that isn’t directly about sniping >>572652469You experience more story because all the companions you don’t have in your active party at the end of Act 1 die Custom characters in DOS2 are completely blank slates disconnected from the plot, but with a nice source abilityJust go with the origin character you most likeIfan is kino, Fane is kino, Beast is the closest to a blank slate you get from an origin

>>572653734I will!She's really cool tooNot as entertaining as Viconia but I am enjoying her dialogue as well.This is really a romancefag game, many crpgs have romance but very few have so much of it, dialogue triggers very often.
>>572654179talk about aerie nowthen viconiathen back to jaheirayou disloyal little whore
>>572654179WaaaiitYou can buy her a locket?? I've played BG2 several times and never come across that
>>572654179>many crpgs have romance but very few have so much of it, dialogue triggers very oftenThat's why you should always dismiss the opinion of anyone who complains about how modern crpgs are "dating sims" when BG2 is still, to this day, the one with the most romance content by far
>>572654074I think he was saying the waifus were better than what we got now

Okay I would like to play Lohse and romance Seybille as my first Divinity Original Sin 2 playthroughThoughts?
Yeah, I thought that anon was overblowing the bad writing in the romance mod for wotr, but after going on the Targona date, it's pretty bad. Still think Owlcat not making Targona romanceable/a companion was the biggest miss they've had so far.

>>572662091Are you the guy directing every modern movie
>>572662469I agree. If you're nice, then the psycho options should disappear afterwards
>>572662469It's a mystery, anon.Why don't we discuss this over a fine brandy? My treat, of course.
>>572662469Maybe you are playing a schizoid character. Maybe you want to rp as lowering his guard with the alms, serial killer style.
I like how the pets run over to where there's a point of interest. In this case a hidden door.

I was mildly interested in what was going on between Edwin, Minsc and the witch whose name I forget, and while watching a video on Thay I ended up wondering: what places of Faerun have been covered in vidya? Obviously the area of Baldur's Gate and Amn, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter, but only stuff on the sword coast no? I've never heard of a game set far inland or on the sea of fallen stars
>>572661637>they look betterholy dogshit taste>>572666236I think it's just been the Sword Coast mostly. Which is a shame, there really is so much fucking more to Faerun.
>>572666236Play Mask of the Betrayer. It's really good and set in Rashemen and Thay.
>>572666236Didn't NWN2 end up going to Thay? Or maybe it was just that lady wizard who was from Thay
>>572667374>>572667121I don't know its called Neverwinter so I assumed it was set in Neverwinter....
>>572667494NWN 1 was. But the sequel and sequel expansion were elsewhere
CRPGs for this feel?
>>572667697NWN 2 is in Neverwinter too
>>572668065WOTR
>>572666236Not really CRPGS as we know them today, but many of the old SSI Goldbox games were other places. Pool of Radiance is around the Moonsea north of the Dales and Eye of the Beholder is below Waterdeep. The Dales was actually the original default location of the setting in 2nd ed. IIRC. There's also the odd other gold box game set here and there. Basically Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale cast a LONG shadow for everything that came after. Dark sun is the only Gold Box game I'd truly consider a modern CRPG and that's of course set in Dark Sun.

BG2 anon, you should check out Watcher's Keep Each level gets progressively harder, but you can leave and come back as you get stronger. There's some good loot even on the first level, eg a quiver of infinite +1 arrows
>>572669392Tomorrow, maybeI'll have to look if I have any quest that leads me there, I don't want to go for no reasonFor tonight lore videos shall be enough
Poor bastard.
Anevia is a man!?
>>572670536>For tonight lore videos shall be enoughWait a secondHow is Myrkul able to do that shit in BG3, apparently in the lore he's stuck in a phylactery a random ass lizard under waterdeep wears.Did Larian ever explain this shit
>>572674278He got resurrected and became a deity again
>>572674278Maybe somebody pickpocket that lizard and freed Myrkul
>>5726742785e reset whatever was going on with them in 4e. The dead three are all back as depowered shittersAlso stop listening to people skimming wiki articles and fanfic
>>572674278BG2 was 2.5 editions ago with literally 40 years of lore
>>572674278> Did Larian ever explain this shit.Of course not. Just like they didn't explain why the slayer form changed, why Minsc is even in the game, how Jaheira became level 8 when she used to be level 30, and why the tieflings didn't take the trade way but dragged themselves through the shadow-cursed lands instead.And many other things. Larian basically spat right in the faces of those who loved BG1-2.

>>572684251And how do you propose you're going to do that?
This is probably sounds really silly...and obviousBut as someone that played DA2, DA Inquisition, and finally playing DA Origin properly (dropped it once 15 years ago), it's really funny seeing so many familiar names like Cullen, Friends of Red Jenny, etc
>>572684293>kills self on first buff>>572684359The usual way
>>572684341not even a hot elf with dark grey skin a smug attitude? because I'd follow someone like that blindfolded into an unmarked van without any weapons if she asked me to in a hushed voice with half-lidded eyes.
>>572684202Gnomes are the products of polygamy, incestuous breeding, and corprophilia.It is no exaggeration or hyperbole to say that all evils of the world are endorsed by and committed by gnomes.A gnome feels no empathy nor remorse, no common humanity that separates us from simple beasts.The only love a gnome can feel, if one can describe is so, is the love for money.A gnome would sooner sell his own mother for a pouch of silvers than do a single good deed in his entire gaping hole of an existence.

R8 my beginner Arcanum build (I can't make the window small enough to screenshot it properly, and can't be bothered to go into Gimp to make it smaller)I'm going with a Half-elf male (with the face that looks like Doc Holiday from Tombstone)Nietzsche Poster Child background.ST:8, CN:7, DX:10, IN:10, WP:8, PE:8, CN:8I picked Harm and Illuminate as my starting spells. (Illuminate is just a sort of roleplaying tradition I have where I try to get a basic light utility spell as quick as possible)For items, I bought a non-hooded robe, a short sword, two health potions, and three fatigue potions.
>>572688330>elfYeah, you’d like an opinion on the build wouldn’t youTrickster
>>572688438Nah, I'm only half elf. The top half is human because I only lie about what's below the belt

I feel like Abelard should be giving these reports of planetary events.But nooo we have to accommodate the fraction of a percent of sub-humans who dismiss Abelard from their retinue.
>>572688745
>>572689012Janris is our mercantile and shore go-between, it makes sense for him to give us the reportsAbelard’s duties are all about the ship itself
>>572689257Hmm that's a good point
>>572688873The edgelord philosophy background lets you gain EXP quicker at the cost of critically failing more often.I felt like it would fit the character a bit better.I'll keep that advice in mind though. I really like how Fatigue is used to cast spells instead of prepping spells at a rest, or just having static spell points that don't regenerate.Skimming a bit of the manual tells me that max level is 50, so I'm assuming I'll be putting more points into things quite often.It's a Tim Cain game, which means combat is probably more of a suggestion than a requirement most of the time.I only really picked Harm because it's the only direct damaging spell among about 20 different magic types, Which fills me with hope that this is where I've been looking for my "Book of a million tricks for a million and one situations" type of wizard fantasy that since has only been met by Morrowind.

I know owlcat has no idea how to balance their own games but how the fuck did they think the cerebral inverter giving you intelligence for every stack of tactical advantage was fine
>>572691119They never actually play their own games. They run through them with cheats as a way to look for crashes, but they never play the way a normal person does.
woah...
>>572691119What’s overpowered about it?
>>572691346Every time I go to feel bad for Yrliet, she calls me mon-keigh and compares me to an animal despite me treating her with nothing but kindness and sincerity So “wahhhh wahhhh wahhhh my people are dead”, cry more
>>572691378You get like 1000 INT per Arc Rifle shot, if you're Voidborn you can use INT instead of FEL, so you get a massive amount of tactical advantage stacks to do even more ridiculous shit
Ahaha ramming is greatI just obliterated an eldar faggot ship without taking a scratch, just losing the shield at the frontThe Strafe ability is highly recommended, for lining yourself upYrliet was annoyed by my crude tactics>Your brutish monstrosity will surely falter!
>>572691378You gain one tactical advantage for every 5 momentum and your momentum gain is boosted by your fellowship. With Voidborn's be smart everything that uses fellowship is replaced by intelligence. For every tactical advantage you gain you get one int and every int you get from tactical advantage makes you generate more tactical advantage. This means you're getting hundreds of int with every attack.
>>572691980I’ve never understood ramming, don’t ships just explode when they die and do like 100 damage to you
>>572691457>she calls me mon-keighCan you name one instance?
>>572692072>>572691953I’m sure this is perfectly intended
>>572692106You would think so, but nothing happened except losing my front shieldThe combat log didn't even show damage taking place to the eldar ship. It just stopped existing

i have a question, could someone recomend me a CRPG where you are suposed to go against insurmountable odds and it actualy feels like it( in game's difficulty and story) ? kinda how you feel in FTL when trying to beat the rebels, with both gameplay wise the task being very dificult and story wise it being a last ditch effort to win
>>572694153No green path for me, just a gapDid you establish a path between Janus and Dargonus, and make it green? That might overlap the Mer-Segrit system and look like it's coming from there
>>572694153The green line goes to another system
Fuck me, that's like hitting a baby with a baseball bat
>>572694231Unironically Dark HeresyEach battle, of which there were few, was a difficult struggle where I just barely managed to make it.But as for released games, I would say SkaldYou really feel like you're in way over your head and barely making it.
>>572694231Underrail, some fights feel like outright puzzles you need to figure out. It's also one of the few RPGs where you won't hoard consumables because they are huge power spikes, most can be crafted, vendors buy a limited amount of them and have limited cash and the toughest enemies in the game, i.e. other humans, do not respawn.
>>572694395Thanks anon
more like dork heresy lmao
>>572694497>>572694610thank you very much for recomendations, i heard about underrrail but i havent payed it yet, skald is 1st time im seeing it but looks very ultima- like, I'll def get both
Undoing Yrliet's Eldar panties and shoving my face in there
>>572695116Also I forgot to mention that the story in Underrail is more about surviving in a post apocalyptic railway system. There aren't really high stakes until later and you'll mostly be running errands for your home station for the first 20 or so hours. The Expedition DLC is more in line with what you wanted, because you have to explore some ancient ruins and figure out the mystery before your camp gets completely overrun by natives and pirates you can still complete the DLC if the camp gets detroyed, but it's more satisfying and you get a lot more answers if you keep your guys alive.

>>572702932The game also explains why Minsc is in the game and the reason was not made up by Larian, and it also explains why the teiflings took the route they did and you can even talk to the person who chose the route.

>>572706346you laugh but it's truemalcador's retarded scribes' students thay unironically commit more heresy than any other group in the imperium have no legitimate authority over you
>>572706346Yeah, just like your meme of him outranking you, when in theory you're equals. Of course in practice the game forces you to be an errand boy because this is Owlcat we're talking about. But all is good because you ultimately can kill him anyway
>>572706447>>572706452Arbites, Administratum, Ministorium, Inquisiton, Admech and many others outrank you

>>572706782Is that so? Why isn't Solobore telling me to bend over then? I remember stealing the tithe right in frton of him and he just grumbled a little bit but rolled with it
>>572706782LOLLMAO
>>572706782According to this, Pasqal, Eogunn, Cassia, Solomorne, Sister Argenta, Hieronymus Doloroso, and little old Inscribia Vultur all outrank you
>Space Marines are equal to the basic bitch Imperial guardMmmm
the arbites is only in your side of space because theodora decided to delegate and bamboozle them in the long run>>572707048Yes.https://youtu.be/DnPLjA3vEG8
>>572706782Only some recent (fake) Rogue Traders have warrants from the administratumReal ones have warrants directly from the Emperor, which is an entirely different situation.We work directly for the Emperor and no one else.
>>572706827what's the point of this cope>>572706910You convince Arbites to side with you. Otherwise they attack you>>572707032yes, which is why you have to work with them instead of order them to do something, gifting them presents, making alliances and stuff like thisInscribia even humiliates you, sends you on errands and have you wait in a queue
>>572707048>that time a space marine sissy tried talking down to yarrick and got put in his place right then and thereyou're goddamn right
>>572707304Our warrant of trade was issued by the Emperor of Mankind. How's that for a high ranking official? So our authority comes from him. It's like being a special presidential appointeeLike when Trump appointed Elon Musk
>>572707510>>572707304
>>572707665And there are Warrants signed by Primarchs or the Emperor himself, in this game you have the latter
>>572707165>play Dark Crusade for the first time>"Hey, this is going pretty well. I thought the guardsmen were fodder">learn normal is easy and easy is piss-baby journo mode>hard has the AI do some weird shit and actually expand besides units having 100% of their health>tfw it's actually hard>mfw shitty chaos land described as 'light infantry garrisoned' shits out a fucking defiler before I even have regimental command
>>572707808Yes, and your status depends entirely on who signed itBecause that is the person from whom your authority derives
>>572707886Capture the spaceport first, so you can attack anywhere instead of just adjacent sectors.
>>572708114I went for Khorne's gift because attacking twice a turn seemed like a broken fucking deal Necrons were guarding it and could immediately shit out like four squads.I built several heavy bolter turrets in succession, baited them with my soldiers, and watched them all diei won without having to move past the fog of war
>lil' incel chuds throw baby tantrums when it turns out they are not the guys with the biggest dick in the roomYou love to see it
>>572708260That's a fun one. The one where you have to collect a set amount of power is a fun turtle map too. That's usually vs space marines.
>>572707251>>572707510Cool relic, you still can't do everything and have to play nice with other, more Important organizations. You are just a random conquistador who will have to give up his realm eventually and then go to conquer other stuff. You can't compete with actual pillars of the Imperium like Admech, Administratum or even Arbites which also are part of the High Lords of Terra
>>572708404not an argument
>Witness your DOOOOOOM!
>>572708404But we are, Reddit. By the end of the game the Koronus Expanse belongs to you and the only ending where you fuck up is the iconokekold one and that is assuming that you don't get your own pet god to fix everythingLet me remind you that this is all approved by GW as they had Owlcat by the balls while developing the game (they still do)
>>572708461>actual pillars of the Imperium like Admechthat's easy when no one bothers trying to understand or develop technology>Administratum hahahaha!oh waityou're serious?>Arbites anyone can hold a gun and call themselves an enforcer>>572708654even your ancestor executed that inquistor lord for fucking with him in front of his own castle

>>572618723>>572619490NuCron lore makes no sense because it is the result of a colossal fuck up off a retcon that destroyed what the Necrons were and made them into a parody of themselves, starting with Trazyn the Redditor. Cursed be Matt Ward forever and ever, I am still mad and will be mad until the end of days
It's like instead of making things with checks and balances Emps decided every facet of the imperium should run independently, against, and with one another.To be fair, it wasn't exactly like that because he was in control of everything.the problem came because mr immortal super literal god tier genius didn't think of a model for the imperium to follow in event he was indisposed because why would that ever happen?despite, you knowthe civil warand his enemies being literal gods
You have a writ signed by the Emperor himself and rule over a region of space the empire can barely influence. Even if you technically have less “rank” than random officials from billions of light years away you determine everything that happens within your protectorate and nobody can stop you. A large part of the game is effecting your influence and leveraging power over different factions such as the explorators and the imperial navy. For example, the empire can declare a punitive expedition against your dynasty but it will fail because 1. the empire has no power there and/or 2. the navy captains defect enmass
>>572706782Actually according to that chart you just posted, only the Adeptus Administratum, Adeptus Terra and the High Lords of Terra are directly above you in the hierarchy.
>>572709649>didn't think of a model for the imperium to follow in event he was indisposed because why would that ever happen?Well it's never happened before. He's been around from the stone age so it just never occurred to him to make plans in case he was "dead" or whatever
>>572709628>>572709649the folly of trying to expand on lore that didn't need expanding, therefore ruining the setting and feeling with something shittier than the initial mystery and what notbut at least we got these ebbin memes, amirite
>>572709719Yeah I agreeAccording to that chart there's just no rank relationship between you and the Inquisition You're in different command structures
>>572709920welcome to the entire imperium
In the imperium, everybody outranks everybody else.
are nu-c'tan still fundamental aspects of existence or did they change that because it made no fucking sense?
Ok, this time I'll finally complete this game.Downloaded the Isekai mod and gave myself the up to lvl 9 Magic Deceiver Spellbook based on int with learnable scrolls and bonus spells based not only on int but bonus int.Took out all superflous/overpowered features of the mod and will give myself feats and other shit based on the narrative of the game. Started with only cantrips no other spells, can't receive spells per level either. Core+Enemy Tactics and more party slots so I can bring more than 5 companions and I will activate the enemy reinforcement mod as soon as I get over 6 party members
>>572709694Yeah. The flipside of this is that if Calcazar exceeds his authority in pushing you around, there isn't really a higher court you can appeal it to. You're on your own, and you need to maintain your power by your own.
>>572710154They have been described as the physical-world counterpart to the chaos gods.
>>572709628"Nucron" "retcon" is the only one that makes sense. Necrons being victors of War in Heaven is directly incompatible with the rest of a setting. Eldar wouldn't be able to have 60 milions years of Empire if Necrons won and Orks would be equally as fucked as many other ancient species.Similarly, if C'tan were never shattered, they would be unkillable gods on a battlefield and would be unique named characters, but they are generic units killed normally all the time and deployed all over galaxy. This also also didn't make any sense.Reverting to 2e fixed everything. Necrons lost War in Heaven, had to surrender to Eldar and wait for a chance to strike back. This now makes perfect sense and is compatible with the rest of a setting.C'tan are now only shards with a fraction of power, which is why they are so weak and possible to deply anywhere in galaxy.It was an objective upgrade and the best thing that ever happened to this faction. And on top of that Necrons became more interesting to play and build, with plethora of new unitsHigher tier Necrons always could talk, retained intellect and had personalities, even in 3rd edition retcon
>>572710154It sure sounds unchanged in RT Like when you're confronting it, it sounds way more like "absolute master of physical reality" and less like "horrible monster that lives inside stars"
>>572710154I liked the way Rogue Trader at least had the Void Dragon shard present itself: an ultra powerful super being that was mindless gas before being given a body that let it rape reality with its new understanding>>572710428that's gay>>572710470i prefer the way i remember RT's description, which can at least be excused with it being relayed by the shard itself
>>572710440I'm not a 40gays guy but wasnt the War in Heavens a Necron victory leading to frog extinction and then Necron's turning on to C'tan to "free" themselves? Elves surviving the war and then repopulating the universe after Tomb Kings go to sleep makes sense.
>>572710770It had to be for the warp to be as fucked up as it isunless the old ones were retconned to have been aeldari gods before they murderfucked slaanesh into being
It's funny seeing oldcrons in the classic 40k gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPeNOEdVmbc
Left to right:>Imperial Guard>Commissars>Planetary Governors>Sector Governors and High Lords of Terra>The Inquisition>The Rogue Trader
>>572711651That's our Fat Bastard alright.
>>572710770In 2nd Edition Necrons were random robots raiders similar in function to Deldar in a way, they were raiding and abducting people for mysterious goals, experimenting on them and maybe seeking to return to flesh againAccording to 3rd Edition Necrons won against Old Ones and their allies. Once all life in galaxy was almost spent, they went to sleep until galaxy repopulated again. - This is what makes no sense, Eldar are stated to be dominant empire in galaxy who could do whatever they wanted and no one could face and if there was an ancient sleeping, vulnerable enemy, they could pick them aparat one by one. Instead they... just did nothing?According to 5th Edition Necrons won against Old Ones, then turned against C'tan and then couldn't defeat Eldar anymore. The only option was to wait for an opening until Eldar, Krorks, Jokaero and those 2 other randoms fuck up and ruin each other. Eldar bullied them a bit after that and then left them be as Necrons weren't a threat anymore and if Necrons started something again, they would be easily bitch slapped down again.This is one of the very few outright retcons in 40k.

>>572711831>2nd Edition Necrons were random robots raiders similar in function to Deldar in a way, they were raiding and abducting people for mysterious goals, experimenting on them and maybe seeking to return to flesh againThis sounds fun
imagine getting a warrant of trade signed by the lords of terra right before girlyman wakes up from his coma
>>572711651fat enough to be a RT
>>572710440anon, the Necrons won on the original and let the Eldar survive because doing so allowed their masters to awaken for Red Harvests to feast on the life essence of civilized living creatures. Unloike in WarLore, C'tan weren't mindless pokemon niggers back then and actually had goals and interests similar to the Chaos Gods.>Similarly, if C'tan were never shattered, they would be unkillable gods on a battlefield and would be unique named characters, but they are generic units killed normally all the time and deployed all over galaxy. This also also didn't make any sense.Have you read the Codex? The C'tan thata re on the battlefield are not the C'tan themselves, merely impositions that use the necrodermis of their servants to manifest for a short time period, but all over the galaxy (Dawn of War even spelled it out for the retards that were too dense to understand it the first time). A real C'tan , of course, would stomp over all the galaxy but the same can be said of the Emperor>t was an objective upgrade and the best thing that ever happened to this factionIt broke the entirety of 40k, since the War in heaven now makes no sense, Pariah genes make no sense and AdMech lore makes no sense. The only people that like it are redditors that wank to their favourite Black Library character and enjoy le ebin trazyn memes
>>572712004NTA, but iirc originally Necrons were also more like the Vampire Counts from fantasy where the C'tan were akin to the vampire lords while regular necrons were something along the lines of their undead thralls
I just got to the part where Trazyn appears in your room and demands info about the Crudarach shard Very annoying character, major Donut Steel impression.
what part of "first and foremost masters of their own fates" did you bozos not understand?does that sound like the description of an entry-level clerk low in the chain of command to you?did you retards even play the damn game?
I wonder if Crons were based on Cybermen, which would have been familiar to the original creators of 40k>Robot race that used to be humanoid, now mostly asleep in vast tombs
>>572711831>This is what makes no sense, Eldar are stated to be dominant empire in galaxy who could do whatever they wanted and no one could face and if there was an ancient sleeping, vulnerable enemy, they could pick them aparat one by one. Instead they... just did nothing?This has already been debunked. The Necrons couldn't because the C'tan were turnning on each other thanks to the Deceiver and the Eldar were basically gnats to them, who weren't even worth exterminating. It's only NuCrons that are all hung up over Eldar and the War in heaven, original Necrons knew they won and fucked the Old Ones and all their creations in the ass forever and now were content with the entire galaxy being their reaping field where living species would rise and be slaughtered like cattle. Like the OG Reapers before the gay Starchild reveal
>>572712445>Very annoying character, major Donut Steel impression.mark waid's pets in a nutshell
>>572712584>living species would rise and be slaughtered like cattle.Ok why What do the necrons get out of this
>>572712309it was a better time
>>572712567I mean, sureIt's not like 40k is above "borrowing" ideas
>>572712305i like to headcanon a mix of new and old in this regardpurely because the idea of making trazyn seethe at his inferiority entertains me enough to declare him canon
>>572712567didn't the original crons want to exterminate all life?sounds more like Daleks to me
>>572712752Yeah true, they were more dalekoid in motivation.Cybs wanted to turn people into more cybs. I don't think necrons ever do that.
>>572712705nothing. The Necrontyr are dead and gone, their souls sold out of hatred and spite. Nothing remains but slaves to the C'tan who want mortal life to grow just to feed again on it. Why do NuCrons just activate all of their wacky hypertech, time travel and prevent the Horus Heresy or the decay of their own star? Their lore more no sense and has actively harmed 40k and is best ignored.
>>572712907They did with Pariahs in DoW, but GW never did anything with that and with the retcon, we will never see them again
>>572712943maybe they shouldn't have made shitty woke flop after woke flop, uh?
>>572712943Fucking lmao>Give me one reason not to shut you down>Uhhhh.... uhhh.... p-pentiment wasn't bad....
>>572712705>What do the necrons get out of thisWasnt Necron version of Settra's plan to undo their skelly process using/studying the organics? And again, Necrons won against frogs but their war with C'tan fucked them over so much that they didnt want to risk losing to Eldar and orks.
>>572712943>Microsoft buys a bunch of companies>shuts them all down>no more games are being madewhat's the next step of this masterplan
The necrons are right to be trying so hard to become organic again.I love being organic. I love breathing and eating and shitting. Absolutely love it.
>>572713206no, that's Ward Lore
>>572713301buy more studios to close down??????profit
Bethesda has not yet reached the point where they shut it down, but the day it happens it will be so fucking hilarious
>>572713113I don't think obsidian was even responsible for pentiment being good. The game seemed like a passion project of Sawyer's and a small team of like-minded individuals. How big was its budget anyway? Looks like the kind of game you could realistically crowdfund
>>572713418They survived fallout76 shitshow and then managed to make that game playable. Bethesda is too big to fail.
>>572713418>Bethesda has not yet reached the point where they shut it downThey have literally never made a good game, and I mean this completely unironically
Dogmatic: You paid your taxes and killed the enemies of Humanity. The Empire gained more territory and your name joined the list of nameless imperial saints. It was all very grimdark and tuff. You should hands with Lord Chud and promised to fight for humanity forever. Soon after, you died relatively young. Your name lived on through your statue on Foulstone. Iconoclast: You built a beautiful utopia and everybody was happy and perfect until the evil empire decided to declare genocide on your entire star system out of spite. Thankfully, your star god son simply manipulated the dimensional gates and made the Expanse into your own personal dimensional territory and defeated the empire forever. Next, your star god son will help you unlock the secrets of the Webway for the good of humanity. Also, you are immortal and perfect and a precious little baby oh my goodness. Heretical: You transformed into a monster and everyone was sad and very unhappy. There was lots of torture, death, and misery. Some planets exploded and some shit went down. It was all very intense and dreary. You were a monster.
>>572713575And yet they have made several enjoyable games.
bait used to be believable
>>572712943I see the Year of Obsidian is going well.
PoE3 will save crpgs
>>572713301The point is that less games are going to be made, so they get a bigger share of the market. It's all about marketshare. It doesn't matter if the games don't sell and all of them bomb as long as there's less competitors around.
>>572713667>Iconoclast: You built a beautiful utopia and everybody was happy and perfect until the evil empire decided to declare genocide on your entire star system out of spite.

Fuck 40gay and it's retarded grimdorkness
>>572714095If they fire those people they will join other studios or create their own, don't be silly, they did it because they didn't expect to become flop merchants.
>>572713880didn't obsidian announce they're not going back to top down crpgs?
>>572712004This is essentially what Necrons do now>>572712305>anon, the Necrons won on the original and let the Eldar survive because doing so allowed their masters to awaken for Red Harvests to feast on the life essence of civilized living creatures. Yes, I said this. In 3e they won, in 5e Necrons lostAnd it doesn't make any sense at all for Eldar to ignore Necrons for as long as Necrons are a threat.>Have you read the Codex? The C'tan thata re on the battlefield are not the C'tan themselvesYes, those are C'tan themselves manifested in Necrodemis bodies. This is their form since War in Heaven. You can easily destroy them and they will simply respawn again, eternal jobbers.>It broke the entirety of 40k, since the War in heaven now makes no sense, Pariah genes make no sense and AdMech lore makes no sense. The only people that like it are redditors that wank to their favourite Black Library character and enjoy le ebin trazyn memesIt fixed nonsensical War in Heaven that directly contradicted Eldar and Imperial lore, by simply reverting to original pitch in White Dwarf and expanding on it.>>572712584Nothing was debunked and you aren't even disagreeing with me. Yes, Necrons won in 3rd Edition which was retconned into them losing in 5th Edition, since that's the only way to make it make sense. Otherwise Eldar would be attempting to destroy them one by one during their 60 million years sleep
Why haven't Trazyn kidnapped The Emperor?
>>572714706Not really up to them anyways. Rumor is even Todd is being shown the door, that jeet woman is axing people in every studio. They're making Amazon Fallout tie ins from now on.
>>572714706Maybe now that bg3 was a hit microsoft will want someone to make a crpg and will poach some people from ObsidianI remember Tim Cain was asking them about an Arcanum sequel? I think it went nowhere but the idea is on the table.
>>572713880>switching from rtwp to turn-cringe 2 entries in because some other dev's game sold betterit is gonna bomb atomically chief
So why doesnt Microsoft take the Marvel (mcu) approach? Create a good gaming engine, hire talented and proven game directors, let them hire their own team to make games. Also why dont we have more celebrity game directors like Kojima in the industry? I know movies are faster to make but still.
>>572715097>It's going to bomb because... it's turn basedThings nobody actually believes
>>572713301It's the natural life cycle of a game developer.>all the creative talent leaves the dying company to found their own, without the smothering bureaucracy and oversight>new company makes good games>makes profit>company grows>needs more bureaucratic oversight to keep maintaining itself>bought out by Microsoft/Take 2/Tencent>no longer makes good games>all the creative talent leaves the dying company to found their ownObviously not all the startups are successful, some of them die early, their employees cannibalized by the ones that survive.
>>572715223it's going to bomb because they can't commit to their own vision
>>572715005He keeps a perfect uncorrupted clone of Fulgrim around, if it helps.
>>572712943>Undead LabsState of Decay was pretty good
We have Owlcat and Larian we don't need no stinkin' Obsidian no more.
>>572709649Most of the government structure was designed by Malcador and the Emperor didn't plan on staying as the head honcho forever but intended to leave administration to the Council of Terra. Of course everyone in the Imperium is retarded so it's not really any better.
>>572715410Thanks to Fabius Bile that is. And considering the author no longer works with BL, that plot might be forgotten.
>>572715134>Create a good gaming engineI don't think they can anymore. I'm not /pol/ posting when I say they have so many H1B jeets in there that there is a literal unofficial caste system within the company. The old days of Microsoft being technically proficient are gone. They might have been able to task id with doing it when they first got them, but a lot of the technical talent has left there too. If they tried today it would be built in C# and run like ass.
>>572712943They got several years to make what they like without caring about the marketDo they want to have their cake and eat it too?
>>572713301Their jeet leadership hopes they can just have AI hallucinate video games and people will pay a subscription for this service forever
>>572715724>give a dev creative freedom>they make Outer Worlds and Avowed
Speaking of the future of the genre, the next divinity game will be a turn based game too, or will it be an action game and whatnot? Did Swen confirm anything?
Obsidian made KotOR 2, which I guess I liked, but I remember thinking it was kind of bad when I played it on Xbox originally. If you went full darkside it was like most of the game was missing. They made New Vegas which I never played because I don't really care about Fallout. After that, what? They're a lot like DoubleFine in that they're this namebrand dev that I'm supposed to pretend is really good despite never having done anything.
>>572714095>>572714570this has actually been MS's MO since their inception basicallythey do not care if their games flop, they care that YOU personally, their competitor, cannot release games from those IPsthey can make money off whoring out licenses to shitters like Amazon to make tv shows and merch and phone games instead
>>572715893encapsulates the reason microsoft changed their gaming head
>>572716030>another sequel to their turn-based Divinity game>after their galactic success of turn-based bg3gee what do you think anon?
Will this be the timeline where Sawyer begs Swen for a job?
Microsoft gave a bunch of studios infinite time and money to make art and all of them failed, the only real course of action is closing them all down, blacklisting the staff and then breaking their hands so they can never make video games again with the hope that another generation can step over the corpses of the last and make something good for once.
>>572716340most of Arkane allegedly did not want to make Redfall at all but MS forced them to which resulted in most of the devs quitting during developmentthey're on bethesda's case now to actually become a video game dev again too
>>572716060They were seen as this legendary studio for over a decade thanks to New Vegas, and people treated them as the second coming of Christ that will make New Vegas 2 any day nowIt took them making the Outer Worlds 2 for people to finally realise that perhaps they aren't the gods that the general public made them out to be
>>572715613They were never going to do anything with it anyways.
>>572716340>Microsoft gave a bunch of studios infinite time and money to make art and all of them failedThe great tragedy is that just before doing this, they gave them tons of unqualified black women and trannies. They guaranteed failure, and now they've guaranteed that the wrong lessons will be learned and so we'll never get good devs being left alone again. Had they pursued the same strategy without injecting poison into them first, I believe it would have worked out well.
>obsidian might actually get shuttered before biowarewild
>he thinks bioware is alivelol
What I find crazy is how a dev team looked at thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDeJsPYXEEs&t=99sand thought "this is fine, this will sell our game"Is everyone who works at these companies simply scared shitless of speaking up lest they get fired for being offensive or something? So they let a couple deranged individuals lord over the studio?
>>572716546>>572716060It's pretty simple actually. They're good at making sequels, not at being original.Their only good games are sequels and expansions to other games.The ability to pick up an IP that already exists and put out a banger of a sequel that isn't just a rehash of the previous game is not the same as the ability to create an IP from scratch.They might have made a good bg3, but they will never make a good pillars of eternity.
>>572717121the game director was literally a coomer mtf that had only ever worked on mobile Sims games
>>572715564malcador was one real retard then
>>572717230>that had only ever worked on mobile Sims gamesBut how did he end up as the director of a mega franchise like Dragon Age
>>572717201>They're good at making sequelsEven this was always overstated
>>572717121troon leadership and trooning head writerthey didn't want to risk their pushback causing a shooting at their studio
How do you use Master Tactician properly? Buff everyone until you have a bunch of tactical advantage stacks then use those stack for one big burst of damage?
>>572717339EA blindly throwing people whereverveilguard went through a shitload of different leads and iterations
>>572717517yesi mostly just use it to make sword of faith deal several thousand direct damage
>>572717121>Is everyone who works at these companies simply scared shitless of speaking up lest they get fired for being offensive or something? So they let a couple deranged individuals lord over the studio?Yeah, that's basically it. So this applies to troons, blacks, whatever. Here it is:The average person is pretty nonconfrontational, especially at work, and especially the sort of person who ends up in game dev. Right off the bat they don't want to argue. You have a team of 100 people. You hire one troon, or somebody troons out. That person goes into slack and says that your medieval fantasy game needs troons. Nobody wants to speak up because they're not confrontational, because they don't want it to be an HR thing, because they're worried about being screenshotted and having Jason Shrieker run a hit piece on them, etc. And so because you have one troon, you have troons in your fantasy game. Even if everyone knows it's stupid. This dynamic happens all the time, and with a variety of different classes and topics, not just trannies.
Are we really discussing Bioware again? It's time to let it go. They're done. Dragon Age is done. Mass Effect is done and the new game if it ever comes out will be another flop. At some point you have to let go.
>>572717339Probably promised them to get failshit out the gate in 1 or 2 years. And tbf he delivered on that front. Too bad he couldnt keep his mental illness to himself tho.
>>572717517Essentially yes. Using MT on my Voidborn officer now. Previously it was objectively better to go full FEL. But now with all the INT gear and augments you can do some pretty nasty stuff. Like Cerebral Inverter where I can smack somebody with a sword and do thousands of damage despite not having a single melee talent.
>>572717339The genuine, non-outrage reason is that the first head from bioware quit when they demanded it become live service, then the second one (also from bioware) quit when they demanded another pivot and axed two years worth of work, so the only person they had left with experience at that level of wrangling was the troon, so the position was tossed to them
>>572717731>stop talking about old bad talk about new goodshut up zoomie
>>572717339Once you let someone like that into your company, it is very difficult to stop them from climbing even if they're worthless. If a protected class applies for a job and you don't hire, it can easily develop into a serious legal problem. Once they're in, it is very difficult and risky to dislodge them. And once they're in, they start applying for things internally, and it's the same dynamic. HR is telling you that you must have more troons, and HR is telling you that if you don't promote this troon it's risking X Y and Z, and so now you have a troon director.The only real solution to this is being a small indie with obscure enough hiring that they can't even apply. Otherwise you're just accepting legal risk at all times.
I just find it funny that the tranny directed a game that killed an entire IP, and as Bioware was crashing and burning they immediately abandoned ship and ran to another ompany.
>>572718348Isn't he working for TES 6 now? Lmao
>>572718348xhe must have talents worth hiring if another company poached xhem
>went from writing shit like mordin and tali to taashWhat went wrong

>>572718264sounds like 99% of all problems in every company could be avoided if you just don't hire an HR department
>>572718541Forgot image>>572718675My mid life crisis will probably involve alcohol and maybe 20 extra pounds. Not gaining double my body mass, dying my hair blue and becoming so liberal it bends back around into the realm of parody.
>>572718663>veilguard's director is working with wizards for presumably bg4>veilguard's writers are who were picked up by bethesdaKekThis is just funny, honestly.They will be like horsemen of the apocalypse, bringing ruin from franchise to franchise until someone has the original thought of "what if we just don't hire them?
>>572718706Yes. HR being involved in hiring, especially for technical roles, is a disaster. But you'd also basically have to repeal the civil rights act and restore the idea of free association for any of it to matter. HR is just enforcing a gay rule, but the rule would still be there. I need the right to legally say I don't want this person on my team and to have that be the end of it.
>mordin as an example of a well written characterbait used to be believable
Can you post the name of Veilguard 's troon director? I want to see the face whose mind approved the "So... I'm not binary" and the "Pulling a Bharv" scenes.
>>572718875HR departments who handle hiring are overstaffed by narcissistic women who operate on "vibes" and social acceptance. As long as they exist then the types that ruin the medium just keep getting hired.
>>572719007>>572719007>>572719007
>>572719087Yeah, I'm not posting on a thread with that creature as its OP. Someone bake another one
>>572718960For a RPG that essentially just an alien fucking simulator? Yes. He's well written. His crisis of faith despite being someone who operates purely on logic is well done. It's been almost 20 years now, you can stop being contrarian.
>>572712943Sounds like some layoffs at the studio (makes sense, they just finished three games). But they aren’t being shut down.
>>572719087>ironic anti-crpg bioshill threadhmmmmmm... die
>>572719243you love to talk about Veilguard though
>>572719275Oh there is no negotiations? They have already decided to shut it down? Ripperoni obsidian.
>>572718675Is it something only men experience?
>>572717121The industry has been highjacked by finance pencil pushers who dont understand anything about the industry they manage and were put in charge at the behest of investors/shareholders, so their sole concern is insured profit aka low risk aka make the legally safest shit imaginable per the criterias provided by lawyers and ideologically minded "professional" advisors on the industry (Anita, et al.). Whoever bankrolled this never had the intent to ever check up what the fuck their devs were doing with the money, not that they'd have understood anything.
