how do you retards talk all day every day about dolly smooching in a genre where that shit is about 1% or less of the game?how do you do this and not feel complete and absolute despair about the pathetic creature you are?Look at porn, read romance novels, play dating sims, go and actually have sex even. Holy shit.
>>583403397I could have said Arue who is literally a succubus being "fixed" but I thought that would be too obvious

>>583403334I'm not posting in a usurper thread
>>583403524>>583403957Can you guys fuck off to another general. These are not crpgs.
Would you play a game like the WitcherBut instead of a Witcher you play a female Corsair in 40k trying to get revenge on the forces if chaos for killing her parents and using her mom's spirit stone as a chew toy
>>583404001"I can fix her" girls are girls like Viconia, she doesn't fit at all, she even started her redemption decades before meeting you or before you were even born
>>583404158>Redemption for a drow is becoming SharranNope, she burns
>>583404095>Would you play [...] 40kNo.
>>583403707What grown up settings are you into, big boy?
>>583404095No because I want crpgs, not third person action games.And I don't play games with female protagonists, ever.
>>583404235But Viconia didn't find redemption there, she remained evil even after escaping from the underdark actually she doesn't if you romance her too, you just convince her to become a better person and she turns TN. The only ending where she sort of does that is the regular one
>>583404095Witcher is garbageMake cRPG about being Eldar Corsair and I'm sold though
>>583404289I'm malkavian because I'm cute and a bit crazy, but the fun kind
>>583404289Tremere mogged by assamites yet again
>>583404289I was told my mother had one of those tongue thingsGlad I don't remember her
>>583404158>she even started her redemptionMehShe was chased away by the drow for not being evil enough, but she never changes her view of the world until the MC makes her.
>>583403592REGINA!!!
>>583404591I know, I was talking about Arueshalae>but she never changes her view of the world until the MC makes herShe's heavily implied to change in her regular ending too
>>583404530>Make Eldar Corsair MC >All companions are dogmatic humans
Why don't we rebrand CRPGG to RPGG? It would clear up a lot of debate and confusion.
>>583404095Prolly not. I don't like games like the witcher. I only played the witcher because I liked the witcher. I don't care about leldar or corsairs
>>583405036People won't realise that we're talking about computer games
>>583405036making /arpgg/ is a better solution
>>583405104>we're talking about computer gamesBut most of the games discussed here came on consoles too
>>583405104Most of the rpgs anons bring up here are available on console as well. So I fail to see the issue.
>>583405036Oh shit, third one is sexo
>>583405036>not an rpg
>>583405036Fine by me.
>>583405145consoles are computers
>>583404578It's true, she did
>>583405036Yes, let's flood this general with tranime garbage as well. because cuckoldry is not enough
>>583404072Mass Effect came out on Xbox first
>>583405036This is the Aspyce we could have gotten....
I only play crpgs on my calculator (not a general purpose computer)
>>583405036someone should make a poll
The anime aesthetic will get crpgs back on track
>>583405518Prove it.
>>583405617So you can bot it?
>>583405650It really will, imagine anime waifusNo more cuckoldry (just don't invite the FE writers)
>>583403334I am a nosferatu irl
>>583405650I'm playing this shit right now. So many top tier bitches I don't know who to give the ring to. Apparently not all of the girls are romantic but I did a quick check the ones I like thankfully are.

>>583406167>tfw did this even in late-stage engineering schoolI refuse to grow up and fit in /crpgg/ as a result
>>583406524you have to keep in mind the type of people making these crpgs. look into some of owlcat's writers and you'll understand
>>583404289what's the bottom right?
>>583406524>>anime aestheticnormalfag repellent they only consume shonenshit, anything else scares them
>>583406605You can't say that wordIt's their word
>>583406167It's not a crpg if you didn't do the proper equation to get there
>>583406649>t. only consumes self-insert litrpg tier garbage
>>583404289Twist: these are male lips
Been meaning to play this ever since it came out, but there's just so many games to play, it kept getting pushed down the list. Gaben's current sale is as good an excuse as any, and we just finished a few other games, so we're off on an adventure in the Living Lands!
>>583406827I'm sorry if what I said offended you but it's the truth, there is a reason why E33 is the most popular "j"rpg nowadays
>>583406839does it matter if it's a tzimisce?
>>583406605Indian cannibal necromancers who fucked up trying to turn into vampires before the tremere

>cool someone's playing Deadfire>oh it's some fucking retard who thinks they need a name onfuck off with this need to dox yourself and bring irrelevant attention to your "identity"
That's a nice little way to make wearing heavy armor worth it, which many games have a problem with.
>>583407487he finna fume!
>>583407489
>>583407487thats not Deadfire, thats Avowed. Not a crpg but he is desperate to blogpost
No way...mechanical representation of choices and consequences in character development? I'm hooked already.

>>583407487>can't even recognize the game that is being posted>waaahhh me hate namefagClassic
>>583408603His screen is performatively wide
here comes the defense force
>>583408334I suspect the next couple years of LLMs are going to make him regret that very badlyEspecially when anyone can put on the name and go talk about anything terrible, anywhere, using his speech patterns, even pictures.>n-no that wasn't me see there's this thing on 4chan-->4chan? alright boys let's take him in
>>583408603They're tourists to the general, only here to complain about the namefag. Notice how they never talk about games, and when they do, they can't even get the name right.
Yeah I didn't look closely and assumed Deadfire, because we're in /crpgg/ and Avoid isn't a crpg.
>>583408603toxic positivity is gay and reddit
If your CHA is high enough then you can't rape
>>583407487Someone should dox him for real
>>583408603this nigga would like this general to be a reddit/r/crpg clone and talk about how larian is a cool, quirky dev and that pillars 2 deadfire is the deepest CRPG ever
Can you faggotrons keep your 4chan eceleb gossip to another website
>>583409350that's fucking retarded, if it's high then all sex is consensual no matter what cuz that's how superficial foids are, if its low then its rape no matter what
>>583409462trve...
>give me attention!>NOT LIKE THAT!!!
>>583403805Fuck it.I'll just play a Titan Fighter with two greatswords because I haven't done that before.
>>583409462>if it's high then all sex is consensual no matter whatthat's literally what i wrote
interestingso romance really should include rape for low CHA player characters and make dialogue options a CHA check and rape on fail
>>583409591There's like maybe one decent greatsword in Wrath and it doesn't come until act 5.
>>583409402I mean I wouldn't advocate that, but those kinds are almost weirdly asking for it. It's all on the archive anyhow, and "who has time to go through all that?" An LLM, in a matter of seconds, for one.I will never understand that kind of need to misuse the Name field for attention, quite strange and such an inherently bad decision with no upside. Maybe in his head he sees someone going "Dude, Mintharafag? Like THE Mintharafag? Whoa haha!" or something.
>>583409462Yes, but past a certain point of networth or fame, consensual sex eventually turns into future rape
>>583408603It’s not a crpg fatty
>>583409916No shit.There's no decent anything in Wrath. It's all just Grave Singer.
>>583409402Well he did brag about owning a data management business
>>583409765I'm not gonna talk about rape, but I do think that stats should have roleplaying value as well, not just numerical one
>skill check to determine whether you're a dom or a subLarian is absolutely GOATed for adding this, we need more skill checks during sex scenes
>>583409765There should be a roll for the rape making the target fall in love. Critical failure has them cut off your balls while critical success gives them heart pupils.
Hmmm, I usually go for wizards in games, but since this has some similarity with Skyrim I'm guessing stealth archer will be good like it is in every game.But let's for wizard for our first playthrough.You don't really have to choose though, you can swap between two weapon sets during combat, which can be anything.>>583408603It's just a couple loud shitposters. People enjoying things and the thread discussing videogames instead of cuckoldry makes them mad. It's genuinely so weird. Talk about games, enjoy games, post gameplay, and ignore shitposters.
>>583410504dom Lae'zel is better for the character's story btw
>>583408670ThisIts not the name that bothers me, it's the fucking screen, it's like seeing someone eat soup with their hands.
>>583410692Not the act 1 sex scene, you should dom her there. In act 2 however, I agree that losing the battle is much better than winning
>>583410605this should also apply to flirting with lesbians as a male
I wanna smooch her.
>>583408834not obsessed, btw
This general proves what I've always said: a straight up porn crpg is an untapped market with great potential.
>>583410659
Excellent edition. I'll just post this disclaimer each day to help dissuade and educate shitposters.>not a crpg!VTMB2 is a CRPG under the test that it tries to recreate pen-and-paper role-playing. Tabletop Vampire is about personal and political horror, not just fighting. Bloodlines 2 captures that. You choose a clan and powers, shape your past through dialogue, and decide what to reveal and whom to trust. Characters judge your words through your past behaviors. The same answer can earn trust or cause offence. That may in fact capture a social Vampire session better than the original in some ways: reading people, managing trust and seeing past choices shape later events. These are not just scenes you watch. They are problems you solve through role-playing. Copying more stats is not the same as recreating more role-playing. The test is whether it tries to recreate tabletop play, not whether it copies every rule. I consider it a CRPG, and anyone who thinks about it with an apt mind will come to the same conclusion. If you disagree, that's fine, I invite you to simply post about something else and anons will engage with you if they find it interesting. Posting my VTMB2 playthrough does not prevent you from talking about Warhammer again. No further address will be given to you people, I am playing and posting the CRPG Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, and the only thing you can do about this is nothing. The choice to act normal or throw a fit is yours, and yours alone.With that out of the way, let's resume.
>>583409916>>583410069Owlcat's itemization in their Pathfinder games sucks so much dick it's insane.What's the point of having all those different weapon types implemented if you're only going to make actually useful gear for like three of them?
>>583411194Yeah, they could cut some weapon types, honestly.
>>583411194>Owlcat's itemization in their Pathfinder games sucks so much dick it's insane.You think so because you haven't played kingmaker or dark heresy
>>583411187>filenameAnime website.
Avowed and “bloodlines” 2 aren’t crpgs and nametranny and his cocksucker are shitposters
I'd recognize that voice anywhere. That is Katy Townsend, who voiced Cait in Fallout 4 and Suvi in Mass Effect. It's always fun to recognize voice actors, especially when they are characters you liked.
>>583411187you can cope and cry all you want but vtmb2 will never be a crpg faggot
>>583411414We need a CHADgon CHAD CRPG
Last time on season 1 of True CRPG: VTMB2 we had been set on the trail of a certain Nosferatu by Tolly, himself a Nosferatu and performatively gay. By the time we found Willelm, he had been equipped with a refugee style vest, and the explosion knocked us into a brief torpor and made the news. "Lucky" that Tolly was there to drag us back to court, where we found ourselves the following night. We'll be needing to check in on Tolly - this isn't the first time he's led us into disaster. Of course, one of the ways we initially found Willem was through our mutual friend, Safia. Safia had asked us to look out for him, obviously feeling sorry for the guy, and instead our visit resulted in his final death. In-character, the sensible thing to do is start with Safia. We've grown quite friendly with her of course, but also she's our clan mate, and a helpful resource for investigating what is likely a Thaumaturgical ritual binding us. She's also just down the hall.Out-of-character, I know some things get lost in the shuffle if I don't check in on Katsumi first, but that's okay, RP should always take priority in a CRPG, otherwise just play Madden.
Crazy how hard Sorcerers mog Wizards in bg3
>>583411780dragon ball crpg
>>583411648
>>583411648Do you recognize the voice because it's distinctive or because the actress has no range
Safia is mostly calmed by the time we reach her lab, so smoothing things over isn't so hard. Sometimes you just have to give someone a minute and some space.
>>583411339Or set up a system where you can buy or have crafted good magic weapons of any type. Or have items that spawn as a type that fits the MC's focus.
On the bright side, her research has turned up some leads on the nature of my binding. Some older works describe a process with some striking similarities. Unfortunately they also deal with gehenna, Caine, the antediluvians, and so are even harder to find than the usual books of Masquerade violations.
Bleak Walker Paladin/Helwalker Monk with dual guns is the most fun way to play PoE2>>583407487Learned long ago that /vg/ is less of a dreg to lurk just by filtering Seranafag/Mintharafag/Caitfag. That retard has never had anything worthwhile to input anywhere
>>583412479If only, this general is filled with shitposters, he's just another one
>>583412059>I'm sorry, loveDid I miss an episode or have you been flirting off-screen?
>>583411648post the AI voice clips you made of her calling you a good girl plEAasseeee
Fortunately, Safia happens to know where one such book might be found, in the possession of Lou Graham. Lou isn't very polite to Safia, and wouldn't even contemplate releasing them to her - but Lou owes me a favor, and I've worked to ingratiate myself to her rather than telling her to deal with her Gangrel problem on her own. In-character I contemplate simply ridding ourselves of Lou - I'm not entirely convinced she isn't related to my own problems, and she's been more than a little hostile to my clan and now Safia directly. When we first met she even implied she stinks, and outright said I do. Now apparently being in possession of Thaumaturgical material is a pretty serious problem, or at least it was in my time.But for now, Safia just wants us to try and retrieve the tome, no reason to deal with Lou just yet. Still, I make a mental note to have a chat with Miss Thorne and Safia about not letting big breasted Ventrue women have access to Thaumaturgy tomes later. We need the courts to need us, now more than ever, open sourcing our secrets won't do.
>>583411813not a CRPG no matter how much you claim it isspamming/flooding/off-topic
>>583412579No, she's just an experiment to you and she is obsessed in that manner because she's the final boss of the game. Red herring, honestly.
>>583412860It won't get deleted but some guy posting Terraria did
The Terraria (not a crpg) post imitating the namefag and his dicksucker got deleted The VTMB2 (not a crpg) spam won't get deletedMmmmmmmmmmm
>>583412964>but some guy posting Terraria didGood
>>583412842look at how nobody gives a shitweird, maybe it's because it's not a crpg
>>583412964bloodlines 2 is at least fucking tangentially related to crpgs
>obscene activity with food
>>583413149
>>583412860>not a CRPG no matter how much you claim it isThat poster has given their reasons for why they believe VTMB2 is a crpg. You haven't explained why you believe it isn't. The only spam I see here is yours.
>>583412579In-character, I've been flirting with Safia when given the chance, and she was already infatuated with me from a distance when we met. Over the nights we've just grown a bit closer. The "my love" stuff is a bit sudden, and Fabien comments on it after we leave, though I didn't get a screenshot. I think really falling for Safia makes for better RP/storytelling later on.
>Not only VTM2 but now fucking Avowed as well/crpg/ is in hell.
>>583413132no its not, shitlines 2 is a shitty action game
>>583413281We talked about avowed a decent amount back when it came out. Unfortunately now this entire thread is just a bunch of obnoxious faggot namefags fighting with their biggest fans so we can’t talk about anything.
HUMANMALEFIGHTER
>>583412969>>583413281manfag is a janny and he likes every shitty western "rpg". Kinda curious if someone blogposted a jrpg would it get deleted
>>583413527More like a frpg but his cocksucker wants to spam E33 here eventually
>>583413281>300 posts of people talking about cuckoldry and why they hate women>crickets>people blogposting video games>AAAAAHHHH CRPGG HAS FALLEN
>>583413260He can believe anything he wants, even that he's a woman. Still doesn't make it a crpgs and him a woman
>>583413604manfaggot likes that game too, it will be allowed
>>583413612This is the crpg generalWe don't talk about video games in general, we talk about crpg video gamesAll that cuck talk is about crpg characters, therefore, it's on-topic
On the walk over to Lou's hotel I am once again struck by the simple beauty of colorful lights on the wet snow, a Christmas jingle playing gently off in the distance from some storefront. When I think of what truly made VTMB special, for me it was storytelling and atmosphere above all. It certainly wasn't an all-timer because of the melee combat. Opinions differ obviously, and I think that's mostly because of a change in online gaming culture, but there are moments in this game where they really do nail atmosphere and storytelling. It's sad how many people here deprive themselves of enjoyment because some meme told them to. One looks at these threads and one gets the sense that many of you don't have much going on beyond playing these games - no romance, no business. To live that way and yet still to not experience and enjoy what you can in the medium just seems like such a tragic waste, like choosing to suffer. I hope at least some of you snap out of it someday, before it's too late.
>>583413281It will remain in hell until you become a janny and start cleaning this place up
>>583413646Still no reasons given, but more personal attacks. No, John. You are the spammer.
>>583412969mod abuse? aren't you feeling sleepy anon
>>583413612Those posts were about crpgs these 2 games arent crpgs. No reason for Terraia to get deleted if those 2 are allowed
>>583413747not a crpg, nobody appreciates your posting, you should consider stopping.
>>583409402Wouldn't be doxing.He became a public figure when he joined a traveling circus as "Mantaroo - the world's heaviest pretend lesbian".
Lou's security is standing around idle as usual, with a smug look on her face and a quippy line about my warehouse explosion incident. I'm sure she was thinking of that one until sun up last night. I politely tell her to mind her business. In-character, I wonder if I'll need to deal with her too if and when I eventually come after Lou. So far she doesn't seem like much of a security guard, I'm able to go past to Lou unchallenged more oft than not, and I doubt she can take me seeing as how I had to clean up some errant Brujah for her just a few nights ago. Still, it's probably better to not boil her alive in the middle of the lobby. I doubt Lou feeds her and I doubt Lou lets her sleep with her, so she must come and go to feed if nothing else. Maybe one night soon I'll catch her in an alley.
How do I improve the AC of Ember and Nenio? Too often enemies just ignore my frontline and charge at them and 1 shot them.
Is Mario Tennis for Game Boy Color a crpg?
>>583414309use mage armor on them, put on those ac rings/necklaces
>>583414414You play the role of Mario as a tennis player so yeah
Lou's haven always changes in subtle ways night to night, maybe a little too subtle since I didn't know until someone pointed it out to me. But you get the since that she's stir-crazy, restricted to her haven (self imposed?) for so many years now. Chairs and tables moved around, covered and uncovered and covered again. I also really enjoy the developing contrast between her space in modern nights vs her heyday, once this bustling center of Court intrigue, now this silent and slightly spooky space.
>>583414414yeah every game is a crpg
>>583413747I appreciate your posts. Keep delighting me, and perhaps others, with your thoughts and narration.
>>583414547not a crpg, stop your off-topic spamming.
wow the midnight fane with Azata rush is a piece of cake after Blackwater, I just run all over every fucking demon I see and I haven't had to load even->Nenio: Knowledge check failedok... I'm a stealth character, so I'm just gonna go ahead and sneak past this thing, alright?
>>583413727>>583413871This. It's nonsensical.
>>583414309Make sure you have a good formation set up and even take some time to individually position if you see something ahead.
The order in which you ask things (or if you ask them) can alter the response to different dialogue options, which is something I really enjoy and something that more CRPGs should borrow from. The only other instance I can think of is The Witcher 3, and even then its only a single conversation with Yennefer. Ignoring the meta-optimal order, in character I think Phyre is tactful enough to know she can't just roll up and demand payment, or be sheepish about the request either. The best option is to probe a little, a subtle reminder of prior services rendered, and then the quid pro quo. I helped feed you and I haven't let slip about your strange episodes, meanwhile you have a book my clan really doesn't appreciate you having and that I need now.Of course, Lou isn't a neonate either, and this sort of thing is more her realm than mine, so maybe it will backfire.
Lou apparently enjoys preying on young boys.
>>583414927>The order in which you ask things (or if you ask them) can alter the response to different dialogue options, which is something I really enjoy and something that more CRPGs should borrow from.A little foreplay in dialogue, if you will
>>583414309The solution is to not bring children to the frontline
Lou does see through me unfortunately, immediately sussing out my intentions and involvement with Safia too. From here you can play it a number of different ways, and part of me wonders if it wouldn't be more in-character to strong arm her a little. Onda is far away, we're all alone, bound or not I'm pretty strong, probably a lot stronger than she is. Obviously something like that might cause a big problem with the court though, title or not Lou is de facto Prince of Seattle, and the sheriff can't easily throw her out a window just yet. We'll have to bow and scrape a little, for now.
>>583415458Nenio isn't a kid
I sloppa'd this portrait for my cav of the paw lord of nothing playthrough so I figured I'd share it here.
>>583415185I'd like to prey on these puppies of you catch my drift
If nothing else, Lou is most interested in Lou. You obviously sought this material for some reason, probably help with your own problem, and to no avail. Who knows, maybe the material in a more practiced hand might be just what you need?
>>583415818>hairy feet midget why
>>583415786Yeah, let her die, nobody cares
>>583416072I’m sick of tourist season bros
>>583415818>Daeran will kiss those feet
>>583416198I know what a halfling is, im asking why would you pick that
>>583416072because that's how halflings areyes they're disgusting
The ploy works, and Lou reveals that the material is kept in a private cache hidden in a crypt beneath the St. Stephen's church. She also intimated that I am in her employ, not the Prince's, and so she wants to keep me happy - the implication being that I'll be doing her a service in turn. Unfortunately we've spoken with her long enough that she breaks into one of her episodes, what she believes to be the Beckoning, before we can correct her.
>>583415818OPEN YOUR EYES BITCH THE ALES OVERFLOWING
On our way to the church then. And Fabien's right, Lou goes to great lengths to conceal exactly why she doesn't leave the haven anymore. Seeing her weakness - twice now - will surely have ramifications later.
Even though mechanically my blood is full, from an RP perspective I always make a point to feed once a night. While technically we awoke tonight to the beast feeding on some poor doll in Weaver Tower, I imagine we're still a bit thirsty after needing to piece ourselves together from an explosion. I really like the feeding animations here, and how they vary based on situation and target size, i.e. it looks a little difference to feed on a pro wrestler sized ghoul mid-combat than it does to talk a woman into it, or simply walking up and surprising them. During the surprise feeds, there's a little bit where you kind of push them away and look at their face for a second, like you're checking that they're really out of it, that they won't remember what happened. I appreciate the little touches.

We arrive at the church to find it has a small selection of graves scattered about, and a section of metal fence has been broken down, but appears to have been pushed out rather than in. Strange. There's an obvious (maybe too obvious) path in the snow as well. Our character didn't live four hundred years by being dumb, and she has a half decent detective in her head too, so we do a little walk around the premises, checking it out with Auspex, just in case. But nothing seems awry, some homeless in an alley, but otherwise the place is quiet as the grave. Heh.
Ah I would recognize that voice anywhere too. Here's our old buddy Garrus Vakarian. What a fun cast, two mass effect people together again so far already.
>>583414309On Nenio you use the mirror image.On Ember you use ice aoe that slows things down.Everyone should get last stand before act 4.
We make our entrance to the church to find it totally empty. Our character is an undead predator, a practitioner of horrific blood magic, a murderer, and even a lesbian. One might have expected a bolt of lightning to strike as soon as we set foot inside, and Phyre probably hasn't made a habit of visiting churches these last few centuries, I like to think she was a little superstitious about it too. We can only assume that her mortal virginity was her saving grace here.
>>583417352
>>583417479How do you explain your headcanon that Phyre doesn't know what a sepulchre is, and says to Fabian it is "your religion".Phyre is canonically a Muslim.

wotr is arguably the better game and has a more compelling story than just RAAAH DEMON BAD FUCK and instead it's a much better kingdom building political dnd power fantasyKingmaker's only weakness is the mid waifus but i suppose sloppaing the tiefling twins gives you good enough brides fit for a king
>>583417683>Phyre doesn't know what a sepulchre isI don't recall this. >says to Fabien it is 'your religion'Pretty straightforward, it's not her religion. I think it's an interesting thing for kindred because so many of them don't have to take it on faith, they know for a fact that the supernatural is real, and most of them take it for granted that their story is linked to the bible and all that stuff really did happen. But she's not necessarily turning up to confession or praying each night like she did as a young girl either, most of them just don't see things that way. That's for the kine with their intact souls and avatars and whatnot, we're something else. In-character, it's probably just not something she has thought about in a long time.>canonically a muslimNot to my knowledge, and certainly not our character. She was born in Venice, grew up in Constantinople as the daughter of a semi wealthy merchant family, she was raised Roman Catholic. Had we played Assamite she probably would have been a muslim, but in this particular playthrough that didn't happen.Part of playing a CRPG - in my opinion - is develop a strong idea of your character and backstory, and not simply defaulting to what the wiki says. All that matters is internal consistency and your own enjoyment. If I want the Exile to be a male and Revan to be female, that is perfectly fine within the context of my own playthrough, even if the wiki says otherwise.
>>583416962if it's not in game it's not canon
>waa waa why did you rush the fane why did you let the rearguard do their job (2nd time only) why did you save your BPD sister from another mistersure stinks of old, slow and fat BITCH in this place
In any case, the church is eerily abandoned, one might have expected to at least find a priest wandering about. Someone lit some candles at least, which Phyre and Fabien both notices. In a backroom we find a business card, some so-called 'ghost hunters' appeared, talking like some of the anons here and wanting to make a video of some sort. Not in our best interests maybe.
A lot of political machinations in Hollywood and with the God's Militia. Some nice possibilities that emerge out of other possibilities in this area. Like, first being tasked to find out if the domme prostitute is in love with someone, turning her in or not and if not, then various configurations about her and the guy.I'm pleased with happening into this plan, as it fits the Rangers well. Out with current Madame Heidi, and head of God's Militia Mayweather, then Veronica running Hollywood and McDade running God's Militia, and both thankful and friendly to the Desert Rangers.
>>583418708galfrey sucks cock
Regardless, onwards and down. Is this what the zoomers call a 'liminal space' and shit their britches over, or is that something else? It's a nice atmosphere in any case. The whole sequence establishes that the church is a little quieter and a little more empty than it ought to be, and there's a nice tension where the player and the character are both aligned in feeling a little on edge about it, knowing something will happen but not being sure what. It's something that could have been ruined by making Fabien too chatty or playing too much music, and they managed to avoid both.

Candles lit, but nobody around. And we've seen this before, somewhere...Out of character, Phyre and Fabien don't immediately place it, but we saw this in the abandoned building where we first woke up after our 'vampire bundy' beast rampage through the streets.
Ok, gonna start act IV tomorrow. From what I've heard about Azata, hopefully it will have been worth the wait.
>>583419859arms too long
As we get into the lowest levels, we encounter some goons. Very curious. They're checking crates, one can only assume they're here for the same thing we are.
>>583419859can you remove the hair on the feet
>>583419964oh wait aivu is dead loldoes she revive anywhere in the Abyss or do I have to waste a raise dead?
>>583420168No, that's halfling erasure
>>583420269but Nurah and Linzi didn't have it
This group isn't the usual anarch loser squad, there's a few full on kindred among them. Still, nothing a little Thaumaturgy can't handle. Boiling someone so that their screams draw in their friends, cursing them so they explode, and then mopping up the survivors with magic missiles all in quick succession is one the great power fantasy moments in CRPGs. Though I regard VTMB2 as wildly overhated and memed more than played, I still think VTMB is the superior game. But combat is one area where the sequel is just head and shoulders better. Every discipline is unique and feels unique, and everything just feels so much more in-line with the fantasy the two games are selling. You can mix and match (expensively) disciplines, but each clan has their unique feeling.
>>583420471They did actually. The coloring just makes it subtle.
>>583419927I recognize that character! It's Jesus of Nazareth!
>>583420471linzi wraps her feet like a degeneratenurah is evil
I take a moment to inspect some of the bodies that survived without getting too mangled. Strange scars and marks, including all of them having a very prominent mark in the center of their chest matching my hand. A small number were present in Ysabella's big crip off, and a few turned up outside Willem's place too and actually pressed me a little. Not anarchs, and not simple ghoul retainers either. Sabbat is the obvious conclusion given we know they're in the city now, but even then there's something off about it, the shovelheads in my time weren't known to mark themselves up like that. This one was kindred, so the heavy scarring was done beforehand. >>583420638Very good anon, I audibly chuckled irl.
Someone has been disturbing the graves, obviously looking for something. Might explain the fence pushed down from the inside that we saw on our way in.
>>583420613you looked closely I see
And our forbidden texts, preserved on something 'other than paper'. I like the little blurb added if you're Tremere - Thaumaturgy isn't something you're born with just because you're in the clan, you have to study and practice like any other wizard. She was a bit of a bookworm in her mortal youth anyways, and would have spent the first few decades of unlife in magical study. You can offer to assist Safia with decoding it later also, which makes a (small) difference in outcome. Not every piece of reactivity in a CRPG needs to be some world shaking thing that gives you a new cutscene at the end of the game, sometimes it's the little things.
Shorstackfags will lust after hairy deformed dysgenic creatures and then act like you're the weird one for not jacking off.

As we make our exit, some new faces are waiting for us. And unlike those below who we overheard talking about looking through crates and caskets, these are very clearly waiting on us. We handle them pretty much the same way, although there was a cool moment where we telekinetically pulled the big Brujah's gun from his hand and killed him with it, but I didn't get a screenshot. Hard to convey that in images anyways. But take my word for it that it was a cool moment, and Phyre secretly wishes Safia had seen it.
>>583421347>preserved on something 'other than paper'That just means parchment, which is made of thin sheets of dried goatskin
>>583421643I was thinking something more magical and World-of-Darkness-y like human skin, but yeah maybe parchment.
On all levels except physical, I'm basically a vampire irl
They even tried to lock us in, having not seen the Watchman movie. Adorable. Part of me wishes the game had a lockpicking skill (maybe something on loan from Fabien), but there's something really satisfying about just being able to break everything with our super strength instead.
>>583421457>Shorstackfags (...) hairy deformed dysgenic creaturesYordles aren't featured in a cRPG yet, unfortunatelywe could have gotten something with nasty furry shits from Pillars but then they had to make an ugly little gay pirate for Deadfire, thanks Josh

Back on the streets, Fabien has a good point - the first group we encountered might have been a mistake, they sounded like they were searching for something and not expecting us, but the second clearly knew we were there and had prepared for a fight. Lou sent us in the first place. The same Lou with a distaste for my clan that she can't help but mention at any opportunity, and the same Lou who was in possession of books on Thaumaturgical rituals involved in the same sort of binding I now suffer from. And the same Lou that was very eager to let us know that we were her agent when we last spoke, just before her 'episode'. In Phyre's mind I think a very strong suspicion is forming about the source of her troubles. Fabien keeps having flashbacks to investigating a series of murders he connected to a Hunter - Santiago, who Isaac pegged as a member of the Society of Leopold - a church might be a logical meeting place for such a cell. Connection?But we'll leave it there for tonight, and resume soon. After getting Safia her research materials, we still have stops to make - not the least of which is Tolly, who sent us after Willem to begin with and who just happened to be on the scene to pull us out of the rubble.

For the hundredth time: how do I dispel shit on enemies in WotR? After act II the checks go up to 35 and it just keeps going up, even Nenio using scrolls of greater dispel can't clear that.
>>583424841You hire a designated dispel merc. Or use that one amulet that allows you to dispel with an automatic 20 once per day

It was absolutely ridiculous because I was playing a Lasombra wearing a priest outfit to boot. Killed the game for me, frankly.
>>583425000>>583425058that thing only dispels one buff>>583425439you can't roll more than 20
>>583424841You have to use toybox to redesign the game to make it decent. The game is a terrible 4/10 as-is. Its reputation comes from people who can't tell the difference between a game being big and being good, so they're wowed by a list of fifty samey classes and huge fanfic dialogue.
>>583425859>that thing only dispels one buffUse Greater Dispel
>>583426009it doesn't work that way dummy, greater dispell rolls a check for every buff. you only get 20 on one check. so you only dispel one buff

>>583429512you are simply wrong, the only reason why she ever succeeds is because you are there to save her constantly, since her constant preaching fails many times with both cultists and demons

>>583429182Between Camellia and Arueshalae, who has the bigger cock
>>583430251Neither. Both are women, and women do not have cocks. Just as anyone who has a cock, even if they surgically removed it later, can never be a woman. This comes as grave disappointment to our anime watchers and warhammer fans I'm sure, but it is what it is.

Unlike in games where spellcasting is disabled.But I think I will refrain, I'll stick to the classic robe wizard. You can mix your spellbook with shields or guns or other weapons too, but I'm sticking to the classic book+wand. Aesthetics are important

Wasn't sure what to make of this at a first glance, you never know with these robbed figures. This guy is all right though, just had a very tough life.He's a Metathermics vendor but his true purpose if far greater. Pagos serves as reinforcement and visual aid to Adira and Beatrice, the Forsaken Island twins. Psionics who had or have trouble controlling their powers, and by extension can be marginalized. Neat stuff, I like this sort of reinforcement that can work both ways. Helps make it more believable and memorable.
