CRPGs where companions share the PC's traits?
You know, while big important choices are obviously important I like when games give you a bunch of dialogue choices that are there mostly for colour. Helps to get into character
>>579476130>TQif the consequence does not obviously follow from the choice
>>579476130She will never be a virgin
>>579476130>TQIf it changes something about the story, presentation, world, or character. It doesn't have to be something big. Deciding if a given character lives or dies is not meaningful if you decide they live and then someone kills them in the next scene. It's also not unmeaningful if you decide they die and the impact of that is a change in that quest's narrative that so and so didn't make it. It can't be a fake Telltale choice but it doesn't have to be this big world shattering event either.
choice is meaningful when there is consequencethe game's reactivity will do thateven if it's something as small as reacting if your character is naked, it does magnitudes for immersion
I don't know who's the target audience for Warlock or why they made Tasha a bimbo or what's WOTC's master plan, mostly I'm confused
>>579476949>who's the target audience for WarlockMe.
>>579476949god that looks disgusting
>>579476949My plan is to roleplay as a cute female Warlock who is forced to eat Tasha pussy in order to cast Eldritch Blast. She doesn't want to, but she has to.
>>579477197I know who you are

Early GOTY contender for me
>>579478758Which mobile game is that?
>>579478834Zero Company. It's a real game, not the mobile trash that I'm sure you're more accustomed too. Remember to give the tablet back to your Mom when you're finished.
>>579478956Oh sorry. UI and model looks exactly like my favourite mobile games.
>>579479031>my favourite mobile gamesI bet.
>>579478758Clone armor really doesn't fit this character at all
Circle of Spores or Stars for a BG3 honor mode run?
Funny thing is, I'm not quite sure this is enough - guess we'll see. Wish I was able to set Acid Blob Traps instead.I really don't enjoy this part of the quest with this build. Can't get in there and hit them, need to gas them and poison them with caltrops from a distance.Everything else up to this point is good. Specifically the need to know and understand these creatures first, and having to go back to SGS to ask for their help.Some people might not enjoy having to go back there but I think it's a nice touch to make you feel apart of the station and its community. Instead, of course, of just going back there to report to Tanner.
>>579478758Not a crpg
>>579479217Spores is a memeStars is better as a dip for the unbreakable concentration thing
>>579479217Pure druid is shit early game. Get 1 lvl if you want to rp and mix it with fighter or war cleric. You can respec to moon at 6 and spores at 8.
>>579478758
>>579479434>untouched
Why do so many games have eating mechanics, but so few games have shitting mechanics?
>>579479217There's no honor in playing a druid.
>>579479434I swear to god if I see this stupid smug face one more time
>>579479217Stars is great as a dip for one of those light orb builds
>>579479404Actually, it is.
>>579479759No, it isn't. Stop posting it.

I have decided to only shower once a week from now on to immerse myself in adventuring conditions

>>579480205
>>579476949>target audiencewin back "gamers">Tasha a bimboNot the problem, she's not supposed to be available as a warlock patron at all>WOTC's master planMake money off of magic cards while juggling legacy board games like D&D (which will never be abandoned by WotC or Hasbro because its a genre leader with high cultural meaning in board game circles even if it has years of poor performance)
>>579480564>Noooo you can't have this hot witch as your patron the rules say it's not allowed!!!
>>579480513
>>579480564>she's not supposed to be available as a warlock patronthis doesn't really matter
>>579480564I can make literally anything I want a warlock patron
>>579480509Yes, of course. The objective, however, is to keep 80 to 90% of them in there in order for them to die to the toxic gas grenades, caltrop poison, and Dan/Saban.There's a total of 33 creatures split through eight waves on this difficulty setting, and ideally they'll all die in there.
>>579480773only in the stupidest sense
>>579480773>Makes a tea kettle a warlock patronGonna get so much tea out of this. What? Eldritch Blast? Huh?
Where’s the russianschizo to cry about female warlocks
SorceressWitchDruidessProstitute
I don't get the backlash to female warlocks. I know it doesn't make sense according to word usage, but its obviously referring to the class.The real backlash should be that warlock should never have been added to dungeons and dragons. Sorcerer was bad enough an erosion of spellcasting classes.
If we can have female Warlocks that why can't we have male Witches?
>>579482246We do, they're all called Lilith and they janny for /vg/
>>579476949Ngl this is giving me Forspoken vibes. Will probably flop hard.
>>579482246we call them witchers
>>579482681LELELELELE
>>579482246We do.
>>579481991Warlock is fine. The actual problem is that they gave everyone infinite cantrips.
should I play baldurs gate 3 or wrath of the righteous
>>579484159Baldurs Gate 3 if you're interested in a high quality game with matching production quality. Wrath of the Righteous if you're interested in experiencing an indie 'first time' quality game with a real game's budget.
>>579484159They're both good games :)
>>579484159neither, they're both bad games
>>579484489
This game continues to impress. It's legitimately good. It's a well developed story, not just xcom missions. This character especially

>>579485421I'm loving it, early GOTY candidate for me

Dragons Dogma 2 update soon! I’m excited!!!
>>579497058
>>579497734Heh, good one. Underrail 2’s visual style has really grown on me.
>>579497836Can't say I'm a fan but it sure does look good. I suppose the more realistic visual style will enhance the immersive sim aspects.
>>579476949trannylicious vibes
>>579498057Perfect for me as I have a fetish for games in a subterranean setting that mixes man made structures with giant caverns. See Arx Fatalis, Sunless Sea, and of course Underrail. It’s like Styg read my mind by enhancing the im sim elements of Underrail 2 Infusion because the world is incredibly comfy and atmospheric.
kek, lizards truly are abominations
>>579498363Ever played Ultima Underworld? Might be just up your alley. It can be played with WASD and mouse look nowadays, just like Arx Fatalis.
>>579499053I was going to write a long post but I accidentally managed to delete it. But yes I have played Ultima Underworld to completion. Holds up shockingly well, actually. I much prefer it over II.
>>579499957Shame, I'd like to read it but oh well. It is indeed a lot better than the second one, agreed. Better than Arx Fatalis as well in some areas.Both of them are, obviously, related to the main Ultima series, the first one however stands a lot better by itself than the second. Too much Ultima, little Underworld unfortunately.More egregious, however, is that the second entry starts you at the castle, completely negating any chance at recreating the amazing palpable atmosphere the start of the first game had. Anyways, glad to see there's still people around that appreciate these gems.

I missed this game like you wouldn't believe. It's so much fun.. Also, fkn Quake combat with fairies is mega hype.
>>579495142But they made a Super Mario RPGAnd an Asteroids RPG
>just playing a basic fighter in wrath of the righteousI took a greatsword focus and that was probably a mistake, but not really one enough to respec yet.
>>579476949
I want smell-o-vision for Dark Heresy. I want smell-o-vision for games in general. Why aren’t companies interested in producing olfactory devices for gaming immersion? The few products I know about are total investor scams and have seen no further development since their initial public reveal. A device that can accurately portray area based smells depending on game and environment is far more intriguing and important than any VR headset.
Can't decide on a class for Kingmaker. Lot of people say Sylvan Sorcerer but I don't want to play as a castercuck. I want to be in the fray.
>>579510570just play fighter anon, there's no point in playing caster in games that NEVER acknowledge you as a mighty caster and everyone just treats u as a magicless cuck
>>579510570I went Aldori Swordlord for the full thematic experience. Plus the game has really good dueling swords. Alternatively Fighters are always solid and Slayers work as well.
>>579510543No, you don't want that for Dark Heresy.It's going to smell like absolute, literal shit due tot Ra'akhti and Discordance.
It’s amazing to me how there are still people who haven’t played all the Owlcat games.
>>579510883There's only three.
>>579506931honestly you'll probably be ok if you're just playing on core or lower and use your party members to back you upthough admittedly there isn't much reason to not go two-handed fighter archetype if thats the plan (assuming you don't want stuff like mutation fighter)
>>579510570Mad Dog barbarian, starts strong and stays strongMonster Tactician was also more fun than expected in the early/mid game, because a bunch of dogs/wolves with outflank all spamming tripping bites every fight is pretty cool. Sucks that they get replaced with caster summons at the higher levels.
>>579510863That’s part of the experience. I can at least turn it off. Give me the option first!
Fagfinder titles are so gay. Like, who gives a shit? Everything plays the same. Don’t forget muh monk dip.
>>579511456>Mad Dog barbarianWill try this. The barbarian companion the game gives you seems like ass anyway. Are pets in Kingmaker as busted as in Wrath?
>>579511340yeah it's on core. It's not so much the balance of it, just that its going to feel a bit wasted since I don't actually know the magic items in the game, so when I get a fancy weapon I'm going to want to use it.
>>579511761Do Smilodon. Wreck the game.
>>579510349Trippy
>>579511761they're probably a little below the wotr incarnations just because wotr gives them more, but they're still very solidI took Smilodon and it was great, Leopard should be good if you just want a pocket blender too.
>>579512008>ust that its going to feel a bit wasted since I don't actually know the magic items in the game, so when I get a fancy weapon I'm going to want to use it.yeah I get that feeling, I always try to go a generalist weapon user in a first blind run of a game so I can pick up whatever is cool
>>579482246Are you feeling dating sim with crpg elements or crpg with dating sim characteristics?
just realized DE was removed from the OP list lmao
What is fun unusual weapon to use in Wrath?I'm playing an Aeon with a heavy flail but the few you get aren't that great and all the endgame ones are unobtainable.
I wanna play Blood of the Dawnwalker just to see how time system works. Time related mechanics are so rare in crpgs and often received negatively. They have character progression tied to it also, seems extra spicy.
>>579511760My dear boy have you tried roleplaying?
>>579515973Well thanks for the suggestion, Laurence Olivier
>>579511760>retard can't think for himself and blames the game
>>579511760It's over, Patfinder will never recover from this scathing critique
>>579511761Pets don't get equipment or feats in Kingmaker, those are WotR additions. They're still fairly strong, though, especially in the early game.Also please stop badmouthing my wife Amiri, she tries her best.
>>579495372
>>579515410I'm normally not a fan of being forced to play a guy in a CRPG but I think I'll make an exceptions THIS time

>>579510883After seeing how fucking boring and uninspired the Rogue Trader companions were I'm glad I didn't buy that game. Maybe if the only two xeno companions weren't shitty space elves and they didn't waste every DLC companion on some boring fucking humans I might have given it a chance.

>>579529686Vampire bites are an allegory for sex without being sex, so the heroine can be pure and defiled at the same time. Or it's just another kind of sex in addition to the normal kind. Basically it's a kink thing, plus vampires are immortal/rich/powerful, the usual turn ons, and can give immortality too.

>>579533254Yeah, it'll require devs (or modders) to implement it, like any other feature in any game's graphics settings. You don't just flip the HDR switch either. But you can already see that dropping it into games unaltered is 90% there in many cases though. https://youtu.be/58FagrSqC4M

>>579534881Yes, there is one (1) person on the planet using AI currently, and they are also responsible for all posts that make you angry. I'm also on reddit, your least favorite streamer, and dozens of others.
>>579533005>ludditesIt's always the same script with you AI proponents. You always try to make the people who disagree with an OPINION sound like dumb, backward rock-smashing cavemen who are anti-tech. Which is stupidly caricatural because everyone here enjoys video games and smartphones and cool innovations, so no one is actually anti-tech. And until that new tech demonstrably makes games better, it's fine to be skeptical.

The idea that you enjoy video games, innovation, or that none of you are anti-tech by default is laughable.

hot take: I just don't like AI "improving" the graphics in my games
>>579535634What actually happens is you characterize any sort of disagreement as a "melty" because it's one of the ten words you know. You decide that 3-4 other anons are the same person, never verify this claim in any way, and use it as reinforcing evidence for the next time you have a similar hallucination.
I'll be real with you anons I support AI solely because leftists have taken up the mantel of feverishly hating it and calling anyone who even remotely implements it in anything a right wing nazi. I don't personally care for it.

Damn I remember in the early 1900s horsecarriagefags had the same reaction to cars. But look at society now, literally can't function without cars. AI isn't an "if" but a "when". Buckle up buttercup because you already lost.

I wonder if they get paid for it
Taking a rest after killing some clankers.Checking in on my friends at /crpgg/ and I find that they are just discussing their fetishes and what reddit said today. An unfortunately common occurrence.I'll get that vampire game later after I beat Zero Company.
>>579538257I am glad I'm playing games on a toaster knowing I am free of this horrid DLSS5 shit
>>579538072The rest is the usual mix:- Random game talk (BG3 druid subclasses, Underrail, Zero Company, Kingmaker/WotR builds, Dark Heresy waiting, Disco Elysium stink memes, smell-o-vision wishes, etc.).- Some companion posting and shitposting.- A later stretch about DLSS 5 / AI upscaling applied to games (including attempts on more stylized/isometric stuff and character portraits).### Who won / who lost?Classic 4chan stalemate. No clear winner. Pro-AI posters got more aggressive and volume in the DLSS segment; anti-AI posters kept calling it “slop,” “hallucinatory,” and unnecessary for CRPGs. It just degenerated into the usual name-calling (luddites vs. AI fags/namefags) and drifted off. Thread is still mostly slow general chatter otherwise.### Who is right about the AI debate?Neither side is fully right in absolute terms, but the skeptics have the stronger immediate case for *current* CRPGs:- Pro side: AI upscaling/frame gen will improve and eventually become standard; early demos/memes get exaggerated by people cranking settings to maximum or dropping untrained models into wrong art styles. Graphics are part of a visual medium.- Anti side: Current results on non-photorealistic or isometric games often look plastic, over-smoothed, or wrong (especially faces). CRPGs prioritize systems, writing, reactivity, and atmosphere over chasing hyper-realism. Forcing it on Owlcat-style games frequently looks worse or requires per-game training that doesn’t exist yet. Calling every critic a broke luddite is pure cope.Tech will keep improving (it always does), but right now a lot of the “AI-enhanced” examples floating around are mid-to-bad, and CRPG audiences care more about the game actually being good than about pores on Camellia’s face.

I really don't understand how some of you don't feel complete and total shame about how many hours you spend every day just shitting out the most boring kind of posts.At the very least, you could try to be interesting or funny, but there doesn't even seem to be this impulse with you. It's baffling to me, honestly, and sad, because I think we see it more and more due to how this is just how current younger people actually are, on average.

>"No, Shepard. Even after crossing oceans of stars to rendezvous at a discrete location, far from the prying eyes of your squadmates and my Justicar duties and decorum, where we spent the day drinking each other in with our eyes, slowly waltzing together and laying our souls bare to each other, even after a private romantic dinner at an idyllic lakeside villa, and even now in this tranquil, private dark room, with this soft lighting bathing me in a warm, ethereal glow, my mature and supple body suggestively writhing in unsaid desire just mere inches away from you as my Asari pheromones enrapture every last bit of your heightened Spectre senses, just practically begging for you to envelop me in your slender arms and consume me in mad, carnal human passion, you still cannot have me. Not my heaving breasts, not my blatant subconscious desire for you to lose yourself in me until I forget my vows and am reduced to nothing but an incomprehensible mess. No, Shepard, you are a Spectre and I am a Justicar. It can never be. I am so dedicated to my Justicar oath that I even tattooed its symbol near my most intimate area, but no, you are never going to see that. I am deeply sorry about your feelings regarding this, but you must put the thought from your mind. It can never be. Oh, Shepard, I hope you understand. In another life, maybe. If you will excuse me, I will now retire to my quarters to sleep in nothing but this see-through silk negligee, leaving little of my voluptuous body to the imagination. Alone."

What's really funny about these threads is that if somebody started posting and talking about their CRPG playthrough, they'd be met with constant vitriol and hate for it. You people get what you want, and then you bitch and cry until you get what you don't want.

>>579547225You always play as a predetermined character. I am Areelu's experiment no matter what. I am Baalspawn no matter what. I am Revan no matter what. There has never been a video game that doesn't have you play as a heavily predetermined character with heavily limited, predetermined options. By the time there is, you'll call it "slop" because it doesn't run on hand-me-down phones. You people post in a CRPG general yet hardly know a CRPG from your own obese ass.

>>579548152Unironically, yes. I essentially said the same thing when giving my review of the game >>537963093 except an amateur writing who lied in their resume rather than ai but the idea is the same.

>>579549635A real roleplayer doesn't consider gameplay mechanics and menu information.
Just got ported to the demon bitches palace, do you have to be evil for those quests or just at rank 8 to go full demon?fuck nocticunt anyway
>>579549562Can confirm all but Nenio. And actually I ended up finding the Ulbrig one a bit tedious eventually, though in principle I liked how it was multiple parts throughout the course of the game. I just didn't like the design of the areas in the later parts.

>>579549880iirc it's generally the case that if your alignment doesn't match with the mythic path, you'll get a kind of side mission to change it. But I've never encountered that myself, just seen people talk about it.I always thought it could be a fun idea to play mythics that you're absolutely unsuited for, like being horribly evil and going Angel, and just being bad at it, failing your tasks and so on. I got burned out on wotr before I ever experimented though.
KINO!! CRPGs need this

>>579550506How much is Nvidia paying you?
>>579550506SAAAAAAR
Nobody gave my Samara pasta a (You)...
>>579550623I told you already, they're paying me the big bucks. The thesis is simple: *IF* I can convince one of the fifteen people here that technology is neat even if it doesn't run on your fifteen year old charity hardware, and *IF* one of you manages to make a friend at some point before your inevitable suicide...well, then we stand a pretty good chance of briefly having somewhat positive word of mouth for that one person. The stakes are pretty high, and therefore so is the pay. I'm hoping I can get two of you to briefly feign humanity and human understanding, the resulting bonus should be enough to finally get my dream yacht. The S.S. Minthara.

it feels good to have intentional positioning pay off this hard, even if it is a pretty simple and obvious doorway bottleneck thing.I found out the leader of these Red Skorpions seems to have a personal vendetta against the Desert Rangers, and brought up the kid-killing that I guess someone did sometime in the past, in Highpool. I don't remember the specifics of why they did it or who exactly they were.I also need to talk to some guy in the brig next time we're back at the Citadel, about how to pass further east. I'm not sure what we're going to do when we get another companion possibility. I'm not the hugest fan of Scotchmo, he keeps freaking out and shooting in random directions which isn't ideal.Though I am finding that I enjoy the Leadership skill and that aspect of low leadership possibly leading to characters 'going rogue' and just deciding what they feel like doing on a turn, it's neat and I haven't seen it in other CRPGs.
>a conceited autist who is fully convinced that humanity exists to inconvenience her and is physically revolted by the mere thought of being intimate with 0/10 monke-waifusOf all crappg characters Yrilet is the most like the denizen of crpgg. I think that is why some of you have such strong feelings on her.
Will crpgg ever leave this era of conflict? Will we ever join hands regardless of skin color like a stock photo for diversity? Imagine how powerful we could be if we could stand united

I'm not going to conclude anything but it's just weird how every semi-famous crpg dev has been a white male... almost as if the genre has sadly only represented one perspective

He is the master of the board by the will of the Hiromoot and master of a million threads by the might of his well-remunerated jannies. He is a bloated carcass writhing invisibly with power of an dark age of technology insulin pump.

It is a board you can post on today - if you dare - for this is a dark and terrible era where you will find little comfort or hope. If you want to take part in the tomfoolery then prepare yourself now. Forget the power of technology, science and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding. for there is no peace between autists, only an eternity of bickering and the snorting of smug fatasses.

>>579530518If you enjoyed Realms of Antiquity and are looking for more start with Nox Archaist. Then you can move through the Ultima series, four to seven and Underworld, if you still haven't gotten enough.
why do they call her manthara?
you said that already
>>579555325looks like a MAN
what the fuck, I have to be missing something about these turrets. The little Red Skorpion den didn't lead to some secret entrance like I thought it would, there's that broken down robot that explicitly needs a tread which I don't think I've seen anywhere. And, I don't know, I'm not sure how else to approach, but dropping 3 of my squad in the first round is... yeah haha, that's something I'll reload from, especially since there's so many things pointing at "don't just attack the turrets with your face".No spoilers, I don't mind sitting with a problem for awhile.
>>579555458Well now I'm thinking it's intentionally impossible at this point, which is actually pretty refreshing from a CRPG. We really need to unload some shit back home anyhow so for now we'll head back, and maybe someone at the Citadel will have some advice.
>>579551851What does the Leadership skill do, exactly?
>>579555876Oh, duh, I forgot that there was another map-exit to Prison with a computer that just said "Access Denied". I assumed I needed some password or something, but was able to use the Computer Science skill directly on it to have the crane move the box car. So I guess we'll see what's down this way before heading back (though we still might, as we're all close to Encumbered.)>>579556024It can serve a few purposes, increase to Hit Chance for party near you, decrease to enemy Hit Chance, and also what I was referencing, which is keeping members of your squad from going rogue. It seems different things triggers different people going rogue, like us taking a lot of damage usually ends up with Angela Deth going rogue and often spitting out some comment about how our team really needs to work on our tactics.The neat thing is that it's not necessarily entirely bad, like she generally makes pretty good decisions on what to do. Scotchmo on the other hand will shout some nonsense and shoot in a random direction. Ralphy's gone rogue a couple times but only recently, and he has a bark about something like "think I'm ready to prove myself"
>>579545231Should've made a femboy maleshep.
>>579553653I appreciate this effort
>>579556563I see, sounds interesting but also mandatory? That's why I think games either don't have it or the ones that do the skill is weak.The only game that comes to mind right now that has the same skill is D:OS2, it grants +2% dodging and +3% to all elemental resistances per level there.
I feel like jealousy is underutilized in crpg romance, like if you pick A then B will back off and same if you pick B, but A is never insecure about how you might feel about B and B is never trying to win you over even though you chose A
Mac in Infusion confirmed? You know, I wish you could hire Mac to do something on your house. He does take that sort of work, he designed the Gauntlet logo after all. Considering all the options you get to customize it wonder if that was the plan but never got implemented. I'm too keen on graffiti but it fits UnderRail, and would fit your house.
Spookmaxxed Jimmy is so cool.
>>579561953Styg implied it was North Underrail I think, but not as far north as Hexagon, as Hexagon will not be in the ga,e. Seeing as New Frontier Technologies tech plays more of a role then it's probably somewhere North East
>>579561298BG2 did thisThe girls would squabble over you
>>579562632Think so too, have the feeling I read it somewhere. If it will have a big city like Core or not is another question.Can you imagine something like CC with NPC schedules? It would be amazing. It has been done before, Ultima, but not recently.

How do I kick my multiclass addiction? I spend too much time looking at character creation and level up screens.
>>579563468So did P:T and KotOR2.
>>579564079You don’t. You’re playing the real game.
>>579549120It is different though. BG2 may have a general backstory, but it doesn't force to to play, say, Abdel Adrian, low intelligence human fighter. You can make your character an evil genius gnome if you want, or a naive elf girl, or whatever, and it's a totally different roleplaying experience than if you were forced to play the dev's OC. That freedom allows people with imagination to have more fun.
>>579561298DAO had Liliana and Morrigan cat fighting in dialogue if you were doing both romances at the same time, and breaking up with either was a huge drop in approval. People have just become too sensitive to the companion actions where they are even averse to letting the party members down if they are the ones flirting first.

>>579574553yeah you're fine to just to shadows of unrentide and then carry that character into hordes of the underdark (and not that it matters much, but the plot expects that and refers to your character as such)the only things you'll miss are some context on who aribeth is but its not major

>>579576909He’s black
>>579576756Perhaps crpgs are fluid like sexuality and autism. Didn't think of that huh? You wouldn't say either you're straight or a fag, or you check 99% of the criteria for autism but actually you're still neurotypical.

>>579576453>do I go two handed or two weapons for a str based shadowdancer buildI want to say a two handed weapon will give you more bang for your buck and be less feat intensive, but its been a long time since I played it so dont take that as gospel
>>579577851Have you given it a rewatch? I enjoyed it but I don't consider it quality. Maybe back when it first aired but the whole thing aged like milk including early season dialogue.
>>579577831What did he even mean by this?
SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THIS TV SHOW. THIS IS A GENERAL FOR GAMES, NOT TELEVISION.
>>579577920I've never played Mass Effect past the citadel, and none of the sequels. I've seen the expanse on youtube clips with the punisher, maybe twenty minutes total. The warhammer tranny starts incoherently seething about his imagined foes unprompted.>>579578181It's a reference to the way warhammer people ritually cut their dicks off.

hes creeping on the female vas again
>>579574501It.
it's called a vag not a vas saar
>>579578212There's going to be a crpg release set in the Expanse, if what little scifi tv show talk upsets you this much now just wait til after its released and everyone is suddenly a grandmaster elder lorebeard of the 33rd degree on the reddit-tier book series.
>>579578439Hard sci-fi always turns out to be bullshit with no predictive power because the author can't imagine the future directions of science and technology. Eg From the Earth to the Moon, where they were shot out of a giant cannon, was "hard sci-fi" for its time. No one could imagine a staged rocket or radio communications.Soft sci-fi, which is about human existence, has more meaning.
I am not watching Expanse sorry Owlcat marketer
>>579577436Just saying the "it's either a crpg or not" logic is not as airtight as you think, take Disco Elysium for example, some would say yes it meets all the criteria for a crpg therefore it's one beepboop and others would call it for what it is, which is a glorified visual novel.

Mine are transmitted and received by electrified coils of wire which can be made way more sensitive than the eye. And also you can adjust them for exact "tones" >um.... I don't think it works like that
>>579578886Good? The series is less reddit than the books but its still reddit. They kill off the only based character really early and the rest of it is the adventures of Holden, the walking melting pot who has one mother and like 20 fathers because his parents are a polycule that mixed all their DNA together to have him in order to exploit the government handouts of future hyper-liberal earth.

QRD on the footfall quarantine zone? Are you locked out of it if you don't coerce the liege into letting you in? I did that and he mentioned that it would take a long time for me to get in so should I move on past footfall after talking to him about it?
>>579580076I hated that entire segment. Everyone hates Comorragh but for me its early Footfall.
>>579580076No you can go into it anyways
>>579580076go back after clearing on the main planets (janus, kiava, dargonus) and it should be open
>>579580303one of the main planets*
>>579580076words words words
>>579580076What the other anons said, but also if you have a skull as your personal pet (not enough for someone in your party to have it), you can unlock an elevator near the Shadow Quarter entrance, and descend to the quarantine zone whenever you want.
>>579580303Alright, does it matter what I say when talking to the liege about it?
>>579576453I assume you’re playing a sneak attack build since shadowdancer isn’t good for anything else but I wouldn’t really recommend that for either of the nwn games. Too much crit immune stuff.
>>579555138Thanks anon, kind of lost the hope of actually getting a recommendation response in this Owlcat-occupied thread.
>>579575431Anon even the authors have said it’s not hard sci-fiYour fault
>>579580503does crit immune make them immune to sneak attacks as well?
>>579580713Unfortunately
>>579580470I think there might be some alignment points to be had
>>579579484That's just a woman then
>>579574553Try it, learn the basics since WD is easy mode due to the stone of recall. If you get bored, move on to a different campaign. The first chapter of SoU is fun but I think chapter 2 and 3 are worse than WD. HotU is pretty good.
>>579580862are they also immune to the paralyze the assassin inflict? I just wanna make a stealthy guy
>>579580076>QRD on the footfall quarantine zone?I'm feeling dumb today and read that as football quarantine zone and wondered what kind of sports rpg I'd been missing out on
>>579581384Most crit immune stuff is also immune to all cc stuff like that yeah
>>579582254Fuck it, I'll just make my original rogue/fighter/shadowdancer and hope the fighter levels and two hander can get me through crit immune encounters. I'm only playing on normal after all.
>>579583358now draw them holding hands
>>579583358off model garbage
>>579581774>what kind of sports rpg I'd been missing out onYou haven't played Rugby Trainer?

>>579580632You're welcome! Nox Archaist is a good introduction to the Ultima formula, and it has some modern QoL systems to make it accessible. It should be easier to get into Ultima after experiencing it. Hope you have a good time, it's a well put together entertaining game.
>>579583358My xenos pet CANNOT be this cute
>>579587802btw, you mention exclusively 4 to 7 and Underwold Ultima in your post. Is previous entries are too barebones too enjoy or something like this?
>>579589583on Khaine, I ain't your litty xeno pet, unc'eigh
>>579590816I'd say that unless you're interested in experiencing them for historical significance purposes, one to three aren't worth playing. Those first three games are disjointed in a lot of ways but, more significantly, they weren't created at the time to be a part of a mainline series like four to seven were.The Avatar series started with Ultima IV, it was only later that Garriott went back and wrote the first three games into the world and its lore. Considering that, each entry that relies on that revision has that exposition on its manuals, so you won't be missing anything by skipping them.
He's literally me! And you! And him! Love this little guy.Believe I heard way back when that Al Fabet's creation came about due to a forum user complaining about the loot/merchant system. I'd say it was masterfully adapted into the game, you wouldn't even know it. Very entertaining character.
