Owlcat are so weird about itemisation. Play Rogue Trader, and there's too many boots that basically do the same things. Play WotR and there's not enough boots for the whole party, not enough bracers that aren't armor or archery, and generally not enough gloves. Also what happened to multi-stat circlets? Kingmaker had those.

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.

Our fellow Tremere and hopefully our Blush of Life study partner, Safia, has been helping us out with our little binding problem since we first met. She finally thinks she has the answer, an old ritual tied to Goratrix - an old rival of my sire, and known traitor who worked with the Sabbat - and wants to meet to discuss it. But rather than our usual meeting place in her lab or in the makeshift chantry at Wake the Dead, we're directed to meet her at a conservatory in the park. Safia, flowers, privacy, the soft snow, finally being rid of this damned mark, Safia, what could be better?

Of course things go sour right away, this is a world of darkness after all. Poor Safia must have gotten herself ambushed by something or someone, whatever drew her to this place. Out of character of course I know what is coming, but in character this is a great RP excuse to just run through everyone frantically rather than the usual Batman predator mode approach. As I've said a million times, the atmosphere and presentation layer in this game is extremely top notch, and it's a crying shame that people won't give it a chance because they're only depriving themselves - the panic in the voices, the eerie quiet (this is one of the few games with the discipline and taste to not play music at all times), the clues in the environment itself like bloody handprints, all of it helps sell the moment so well.

It's also one of the moments where choice and consequences are maybe a bit to subtle for the game's own good - you can find it on youtube, but Phyre's voice delivery here actually changes based on how you've treated Safia throughout the game. A character that was suspicious of her or indifferent sounds very different to one which has been friendly or even flirty, a great compromise between a voice protagonist and the need for a blank-slate in a CRPG, and something I wish more developers would invest in.

A Sabbat blood bonding ritual - something else that really shouldn't be written down, a pattern in this game, but I guess that's just one of those video game contrivances to communicate things to the player, like when you get a journal entry in other games and you see someone wrote "we're being chased by the monster, its almost in, AHHHH!"

And I guess the Sabbat aren't as concerned with that sort of secrecy anyways. We'll chalk it up to a shovelhead with a poor memory.

The further we go, the more corpses we find, 'unbirthed' crawling around, and a few full on vampires that are a bit tougher than the usual ghouls and thin-bloods. I especially like the Nosferatu that uses obfuscate against you, they still show up under auspex but otherwise you just get foot steps. Much better use of disciplines against the player in this one.

As we go deeper we find a hidden, locked room with a lot of stored blood, chalkboards, salt circles. A Tremere player will recognize the hermetic markings, while others will just know they're some sort of vague magic thing. Not something that changes the game, but a nice touch.

We also find a hit list of high ranking kindred in Seattle. The former and current Prince, the former sheriff, Ysabella, Tolly, even Fabien. Strangely this includes several known Sabbat collaborators like Benny or Ysabella. No primogen beyond Ysabella (and I guess Tolly?), no anarchs, no Phyre.

While I enjoy this section for mood, its another one of those places that just seems video gamey and doesn't make a lot of sense. There's this entire prison complex beneath a city park? Nobody knows about it? How does it get power, water? I guess you just can't think about it too much. The overall vibe reminds me of the first visit to Grout's house, with the ghouls mumbling in a corner.

Another really praiseworthy voice acting moment. Even as a centuries old super predator and monster, you can't help but feel a bit of sadness for her here. The slight tremble in the voice, the hesitation, the way she's almost whispering, chef's kiss.

A heart sinking moment. We see the body and our mark, not close enough to identify it yet, but we know. Again, silence and just letting things breathe is a powerful tool for storytelling and presentation and once you see it its hard to ignore how many other devs just can't get it. No Fabien telling us to focus, no music, just soft footsteps. I guess the programming logic for knowing when playing your orchestral score is or isn't tasteful is hard to work out, but it's worth it.

Poor Safia, always so kind to us and now look what happened to her for trying to help us.
>why isn't she ash
When they die, kindred rapidly catch up to their age. An elder like Phyre may very well turn to dust, but Safia is barely a century old. The old game having everyone turn to ash was just a way to save system resources, not real lore.

We carry Safia's body out of that place, and fade to black to the court. How did we carry the desiccated corpse of an old woman through the park without anyone bothering us? Don't think about it.

RP wise, it feels most appropriate to be remorseful here rather than task-focused. We're high humanity, Safia was friendly and a clan mate, died helping us, and if we had been there maybe we could have saved her.

A running theme in later interactions with Lou is that the game really should have let us take a swing at her before we can, so you have to sort of head canon increasingly flimsy RP excuses for why you aren't killing her. She hasn't been terribly respectful of Safia throughout the game, and obviously this isn't the most tactful time or best company for it, but I guess we still have some wits about us and aren't for certain that we could take her, Ryong, and Tolly all at once yet.

Lou starts giving orders like she's the Prince, and as soon as her childe gently corrects her she gets dominated back into position - this feels like it should be a bigger deal, and would have been a great moment to let player's take out Lou. Sire or not, you can't just dominate a Prince, and she's doing it in full view of the sheriff and what I assume to be the Nosferatu primogen/court spymaster. This is a pretty big no-no, and kind of feels like a dropped ball in terms of lore and CRPG mechanics, and is one of the harder things in the game to headcanon away. You almost have to just pretend it was Fabien imagining things to make it work.

Expense, lack of attention to detail, lack of commitment to choices and consequences. I think a lot of developers even in this genre are of the attitude that spending resources on content that only 10% of players will see is a waste, which is why so many choices in CRPGs tend to just be flavor that converge back onto the same rails anyways.

CDPR did an interview recently where they talked about the big choice in The Witcher 2 and how it changed act 2 entirely, and even they consider that a waste of resources now. You look at something like Baldur's Gate 3 where Minthara as a companion was the only real reward for the evil path, and what did they do? Patch in a way to make the content available no matter what. That's just the attitude in the industry right now, and that's a game that is unusually strong on choices+consequences compared to most others.


Voice acting is also just kind of expensive, and you have to do it in 12+ languages on most games. You have Phyre female and Phyre male record three variations, and then you have to do it again in Spanish, French, Japanese, Russia, Italian, and so on. My hope is that in 10-15 years AI voicing will be so cheap and so good that it just sort of deletes this cost without sacrificing quality, and voice acting isn't a constraint on games anymore.

Lou is convinced that Katsumi and her meetings with out-of-city kindred that I ratted about are connected to our Sabbat problem, and wants her head. I'll do it, but I need to check in with the clan first, especially as we just lost our third member.

You get a very different conversation with Mrs. Thorn when you tell her about Safia based on whether or not you're a Tremere, and (slightly, seems to change only one line) how respectful/deferential you've been to her so far. We've always respected the hierarchy - even if we're technically older and maybe better versed in thaumaturgy - so she's a little more open about it, both of us vowing revenge. She also has one last delivery to make, another rune sealed package to a 'Mr. Swann', who she implores us to treat with respect. I guess the world keeps turning.

Most of our deliveries have been fairly uneventful up to now - the packages are obviously magical in nature, at various times smelling like lupine blood, always magically sealed and so on - but not much more complicated than a courier service and to people who don't really seem to know who they're dealing with.

This one is quite different, with a door appearing magically in an alley, and a non-kindred who recognizes who and what I am immediately. He asks us to tell Mrs Thorn that the compact is fulfilled, the binding is complete, and "The Tapestry remembers". We've been dealing with a group of mages, delivering various items or ingredients to them.

Back at our makeshift chantry, Thorn lets us in on the plan, that she's been cutting deals with other supernaturals in and around the city and will be setting up an actual chantry here. Can't help but feel sad for Safia, she might have liked having a real library, maybe a bump up from apprentice. But still, new apprentices will come, and this is a good thing, our clan has taken a few hits since I've been asleep, and as Lou is quick to remind us we aren't very well liked. The sooner we can organize, increase our numbers, get our safe(r) haven setup, the better.

But she has plans beyond just a chantry - the court here is obviously falling apart, and there's an opportunity to make this city ours. She asks us point blank if we'll back her for Prince when the time comes. Obviously that's an easy yes - I'm going to help my clan wherever I can, Lou is setting herself up for a return to power soon which means Ryong isn't long for this world, and I'm already planning to kill Lou the first chance I get. The court here is so thin that the only possible opposition now would be Tolly, another I'd be happy to boil up. By the end of this we'll have a new Tremere Prince, her Tremere sheriff enforcer, a new chantry, a new Vienna.

But first, lets find Katsumi and figure what we'll do with her.

You have the option to ask her to back a play against Lou here - mechanically it doesn't work because I've done nothing but disrespect and piss her off all game, but this is one of the places that helps determine what sort of ending you get and who ends up in charge when the credits roll.

From an RP perspective, I have less than zero respect for the anarchs in this city, or what's left of them, and have zero intention of keeping any word I give her. Still, she may be useful - her anarchs can take a run at Lou, and if they succeed I kill them off and the path is clear for Mrs. Thorn to wear the crown. If they fail, we can kill Lou anyways and pin it on them, or use the on-going strife as a clear sign she isn't fit to rule. The worst that can happen is I have to spend a few weeks clearing out the remaining anarchs, which I'm going to do anyways. We already have a serious inquisition problem in this city, a lot of it because of poor judgement on the part of anarchs, we can't have this riff-raff running around like this anymore.

Still, she doesn't like me enough to trust me, and technically I would have killed her eventually so who can blame her. We move to finish her but catch a sniper bullet in the arm before we can.

One of those things I can write off as just being true to the locale. Imagine a coffee shop in a modern day west coast city with a mini library and a gothic sounding name, what sort of names would they have? It's all just verisimilitude. Some of the anarchs wearing biker leather have weird commie pins or tattoos too if you look, but they would wouldn't they?

While I'm not a racist, many have noticed that I really don't care for black people - being around them, seeing them, hearing them. Both in a RP character sense and in real life. But while I find them obnoxious and out of place in a game like Kingdom Come 2, they're garish in the druid's grove, but they're just a logical part of the scenery in Night City. It's that same sort of thought. Verisimilitude matters more to me than other concerns, and is a key part of making a game's environments feel true.

I don't think we hear her exact year of embrace, but she refers to us as an elder of her own clan and notes she has nothing to teach us, so we can assume she's actually younger than we are. Phyre just had the good luck to be embraced at 17 and Thorn got it at 70, a sort of reverse Claudia.

We eventually run down the shooter and find Damsel waiting for us. It's...okay. Her presence does make a bit of sense, Katsumi realizes her position is a lot weaker than it used to be, she's calling for some backup and some heavier hitter anarchs are heading up for what seems like an inevitable war, hence the secret meetings the IAO picked up on. But this is really one of the only true 'remember when' moments in the game that feels kind of forced, and I never really cared about Damsel to begin with. If anyone they should have sent in Smiling Jack, or Nines. I can't tell if it's the same voice actress or not, she doesn't sound the same but it has been 20 years.

She calls us Sabrina as in 'teenage witch' because we're Tremere, a reference I have to assume goes over Phyre's head. Maybe she's trying to guess our true name? In any case, the Mexican standoff ends nonviolently, and we're convinced Katsumi is in the wind and that the anarchs aren't involved with the sabbat in the first place, actually having taken some losses to them. I don't particularly want a dragon's breath to the chest, so we call it even and head back.

I think the profit factor system was 90% great, it lets you experiment with things you normally wouldn't . Put those grenades in my bag so I may fuck around with them, I may find a use for that suboptimal cloak for a while if it's a freebie while I try to buy the axe I want but I would never pay gold for the shitty cloak if it was going to cost me gold pulling meaway from the axe I want. Of course I still end the game with 70 medikits and 60 grenades and a bunch of named melta guns that I have no intention of ever using. But the consumables was me being stingy as usual, the grenades were decent, grenadier fit in builds easily, stims were also fun to use, maybe a bit unbalanced but they worked well as a way to turn the fight in an emergency. Reputation I'm less sure about, the idea is that you're making a tradeoff advancing with some faction delays you with the rest but in practice it's trivial to max everyone in act 4, so it just makes you a hobo picking up trash weapons from trash mobs so you can dump them later which is the issue the usual gold system usually has.

Unfortunately, it's clear that something serious has jumped off while we were busy chasing our tail with the anarchs. There are police everywhere, roadblocks setup all around Weaver Tower, armed shootouts and a lot of scared mortals running around. The thought occurs to Fabien that the wild goose chase was intentional, and someone wanted to make sure the sheriff wasn't near the Prince.

That's only because they've listened to whiny faggots who were complaining about being unable to max all factions. Never should have listened to them. It should have been another roleplaying choice for you to make. Also gaining reputation with one faction should have lowered it with another. For example trading with void pirates lowers the navy reputation, and trading with casballica lowers drusians and explorators reputation

In her villain-explains-plot-to-audience moment, Safia lays bares the game's events. Safia and Gideon were bound to each other, and when Gideon went missing, Safia couldn't let it go. By the time she found him, his body was ruined beyond any hope, mad (even for a Malkavian) with hunger. Lou had done it and gotten away with it. She didn't give a damn about Caine or the Sabbat, but she wanted revenge on Lou and the Camarilla that turned a blind eye. The binding was meant to weaken me, and when they woke me up near Gideon the beast would take over and I'd drain him dry, diablerie. Weakened by the mark, Gideon would take my body, and with his new strength slay Lou finally.

Of course, Fabien found me early, and I drained him instead - not quite strong enough to take over, but still in my head. When she discovered that Gideon had been destroyed and the last hope lost, Safia resolved to simply burn it all down. Lou, Seattle, the Masquerade. All of it was originally well intentioned revenge.

A failure of communication - if you had just explained the situation Safia, I might have been cross for a few nights, but I probably would have helped you. Not with your horde of unbirthed, but we could have killed Lou together. I would have dragged Lou around to your lab and let you mark her up so Gideon could infest her instead even. What a gut punch.

The intended meaning here is that she's not the mouse she pretended to be, and has been plotting against the court for a long time.

But the original story here (based on data mining) was actually that we never met the real Safia, only in Fabien's flashbacks, and the 'Safia' we met in the modern times was a Tzimisce named Cemile. That got cut at some point in development, but you still see bits of it. The fake Safia corpse was a fleshcrafted fledgling, her obsessive behavior.

Her story is also repurposed from Elif, the Tremere girl in the hardsuit labs version of the game. There's a 'final boss' version of Safia we see later, and you can datamine the exact same look for Elif.

Part of me likes that, in the settlement projects it's where I think it makes the most sense. The issue you may run into is that it may lead you into doing meta things like rushing explorators to 7 while keeping everything on hold with kasballica even side missions and then dumping explorators forever. If you can go down levels the optimal behavior could be strange. But I'm definitely game for the projects being the big way to earn reputation and making them more exclusive. Not that it matters since the game is already done but you know.

Our last flashback is Fabien visiting a makeshift grave for Gideon, once again having solved the case and even remembering that they'll just wipe his mind again. He wants to go to the Justicars - a type of super-sheriff in the Camarilla who could come in and clean house in Seattle - but he needs more proof than he has. He remembers Safia's voice recorder doohickey, and sets out a plan to once again bring the evidence to Campbell, record his usual bragging confession and attempt to dominate away the evidence, and then use that recording against him.

Technically using a recording device on kindred is as likely as not to get Fabien himself killed by the Justicars in 2024, but I guess he doesn't realize that yet. Still, we run around town getting the device, and locating Campbell, who has gone to a warehouse to check on a shipment of some sort of 'weapon' his sources have obtained.

As usual though, poor Fabien has the worst luck and isn't very caught up on how modern life works. The recorder makes a little whirling noise, enough that Campbell immediately notices it. Who knows, maybe this isn't the first time Fabien has tried this trick either?

In any case, he does the usual routine of dominating Fabien, but in this case he has one extra use for him. This box might be dangerous, and who knows what tragedy could befall a Prince who opens it. He'll have Fabien talk to it instead, opening it.

Fabien talks to the box and discovers there is an elder inside, who just needs a bit of blood to awake. As you talk to her, her lines are actually the same things she says during character creation, which is a cool little touch. Fabien realizes that as soon as he opens it, Campbell is going to kill him, so he makes one last suicide run. Opens it, cuts his own wrist, and feeds the torpid elder enough to wake her up. She promptly kills and drains Fabien, before turning on Campbell himself. The mystery of why Fabien opened the box and who killed JJ Campbell solved.

One last chat with Fabien. First time we get to talk to Phyre from Fabien's perspective, which is a little strange from an RP perspective since "my" character is now selecting dialogue that I didn't pick, but she doesn't really say anything out of character either I guess. I've never tested it because I never antagonize Fabien, but I wonder if the words are written or delivered differently based on that relationship here? In any case, one last great performance, Fabien is afraid to finally die for real, but he's tired. There's an obvious parallel between Fabien and Johnny Silverhand, and that last talk with Johnny at the end of the game is one of my favorites, "wrong city, wrong people", very similar vibe here.

Here we see a collection of anons, screaming and climbing the walls in rage that someone is playing an unapproved CRPG in the CRPG thread.

There's a lot of fighting in the tower, this is our combat heavy finale as is VTMB tradition after all, but nothing much to it. It is nice to RP a very enraged and frantic Phyre just tearing through everyone once you have the XP for it. Most of the CRPG in this game is conversational, so its a stark change to be so combat heavy in the end, same as it was in the original game. But the combat here is so much better that I guess it doesn't drag quite as much.

You have some options when you finally encounter and confront Safia at the top of the tower, currently engaged in some kind of godless ritual or another. Obviously you fight no matter what you pick, she's the final boss, so it's all just for flavor and RP.

The overall fight is really well done, especially between two Tremere. Safia can use a lot of the same spells you can, including a few new ones. And as I've mentioned before, the game is really great about ensuring that your disciplines work on everyone, it isn't one of those CRPGs where you get cool-new-spell but it only works on one-hit mooks anyways. You can use blood curse on her, boil her, and she can use the teleport same as you, some kind of blood shield ability like the first one, and so on. I kind of wish we had gotten more content around her and Thorn, some magical duels here and there would have been neat.

Safia for her part looks quite different - naked with strategically placed long hair to cover up anything interesting, sigils carved into her own skin, covered in blood, more beast than the stuttering researcher. Good design.

Phyre had imagined exchanging fluids with a naked Safia for several nights leading up to this point, but sadly it didn't work out the way she hoped. In-character, I think even after everything she's at least partially sympathetic to Safia, especially seeing how things played out and what led her to it. The huge Masquerade breach, the torture and enslavement, all kinda hard to get over. But the mouse she pretended to be is who she really was once, and ultimately she was right about Lou and the injustice of it all. If things had gone differently, a little more patience, Thorn and I would have served her Lou's breasts on a platter a few nights from now. What a waste.

I don't know Tolly, this seems really weak. The streets of a major American city were absolutely cleared, there's a skyscrapper where we can reasonably assume every single person inside has died violently, there was a major hunter/inquisition presence in the city already. I don't see how you can possibly wave that away with a gas leak.

While I enjoy the story overall (more than the original in fact), this is one area where they should have done a rewrite. Obviously a major Masquerade ending event can't exist in the lore because they want to keep telling VtM stories, so just don't have a major Masquerade ending event. Which is what this was, there's just no way around it. They could have and should have done something on a smaller scale, Safia simply killing the Court and we stop her.

A lot of game devs do this, there's just no foresight. They write stories where player choice must alter the world, but they know ahead of time they can't alter the world, so why bother? Very similar to the phenomenon of writing open-world exploration games with stories that have tight time constraints, knowing that the two contradict each other. Doesn't anyone in video games have any sense?

The inquisition swarmed over Seattle, as one might expect. We wiped out 50+ federal agents, killed their leader, they weren't going to look at that and chalk it up to the wind even before this 'gas leak' nonsense. It's unfortunate that they killed Lou before I got the chance, but I guess dead is dead. They also wiped out Katsumi and her anarchs, and even sent Phyre packing. I guess that makes sense, the hunters had a whole dossier on me already. It does make me wonder what might have happened with Mrs Thorn though, who isn't mentioned - she was positioned to take the city, and now there's an opening, but Seattle sounds like a second Vienna already. It might be smarter to cut her losses and try another town, if she even survived.

And so marks the end of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 posting here on /crpgg/. I know for many of you this is a bittersweet moment, you've come to love VTMB2 posting and it has become an important part of /crpgg/ culture. But everything good has to come to an end, always leave them wanting more. And who knows, maybe replaying VTMB2 can become an annual /crpgg/ tradition?

Now, we'll take a short break, but as promised soon I'll post another poll, and we the community of /crpgg/ will select ANOTHER crpg to be played through here in our general. Those of you that were upset that VTMB2 was favored by the community over your own picks, this will be your chance. And of course once that game is complete, we'll simply repeat the loop, poll then game. Poll then game. Poll then game.

Until then, I'd encourage all anons here to begin playing and posting their own CRPGs. This general doesn't belong to the sub-50s who communicate in text message grunts, so take it back. Playing an Owlcat game, Larian, The Old Republic even? Post it here. Happy Halloween.

I'm out of the loop, played it on release when it was super buggy and just finished it recently for the first time so I don't know what are the most popular complaints. I think it's the Owlcat game I've liked the most but the one I less want to replay. There are some issues with party compositions and I really hate how initiative works or how hard sanctioned psykers shit on Idira. But I enjoyed the shitty minigame of spaceship battles, companions weren't great but not terrible either even if Ulfar felt at times like my adopted teenage emo son. Maybe Argenta missed a bit, it doesn't need to be romance but she felt too distant.

>>586319689
it is a conspiracy except entirely literally and unironically
>>
>>586319689
Because it isn't against the rules and never was. The game is a CRPG as explained here >>586294360 each day. The fundamental assertion of the diaper shitters here this entire time has been that screaming and crying and stamping their feet would somehow change what the game is, but it never did. "It's not a CRPG!" but the thought never occurs that this isn't up to you. Obese based boys have this idea that you aren't allowed to like or play certain games (which over the last five years has expanded to be almost any game), and if you do they'll try to shout you down. But that didn't work here, and they hate that. They incessantly reply to on-topic discussion of a CRPG with off-topic whining, and are so mentally inverted that they think the situation is reversed. That's crazy.

Me right you wrong ez gg
>>
There's a pissbaby in here who complains about everything. If you don't like a certain game that is posted, post your own game. Contribute, or shut the fuck up. If you are a worthless poster contributing absolutely nothing, then you can't complain when someone else is at least posting a videogame even if you don't like that particular game. One of the most pathetic things you can do here is just impotently bitch at people who are actually posting games. It's so pathetic. He's not avoiding filters either by the way, that involves changing your image filesizes or hashes so people who filter your repeated images see them, or changing the spelling of certain words so people who filter certain phrases still see your posts. You can in fact filter his image dimensions or certain phrases like vtmb2 because he doesn't intentionally avoid filters. You are so fucking stupid you don't even know what the words you try to complain with mean. Genuinely pathetic.

I'll be sure to take your criticism to heart. Even though you seem somewhat confused about which poster is which, or what interesting blogposting should entail, apparently mistaking it for pure commentary devoid of narration. It is not about writing a novel, nor is it about stream-of-consciousness commentary detached from the fucking (emphasis) narrative or fucking (emphasis) context. Maybe your definition is fucking (emphasis) different, though. Curious if you can name one instance of blogposting you liked for reference.

>>586318845
Thanks for the journey. I enjoyed it a lot (though I can't condone the racism), and it's a good thing this general still has effortposters. There's a lot to be said about where VTMB2 comes up short, but your posting did convince me it may not have deserved all the flak it received.

Arcanum is the only one I might come back to, as the problem with it was primarily technical issues.

I dropped Rogue Trader at the character creation screen, and I doubt I'll ever try again. I just realized it was asking me to make a bunch of undefined choices that I knew nothing about, and was referencing lore I just didn't find enticing at all. Combined with the ass ugly aesthetic I just couldn't justify playing it.

In terms of CRPGs I actually started playing, Wrath of the Righteous. The hell city was truly awful, and while I was able to use the ToyBox to bypass some of the worst design decisions in the game I realized by the time I returned to my fort that I was bypassing more and more of the game and was starting to not care anymore. I started just auto ending fightings to see how the game ended, but at some point I just didn't care about that either. I was about to fight off some siege in Wintersun I believe when I just quit and uninstalled. I may go back to that one some day, but I'll have to take some days off and try to muscle through it before I get tired of it.

In about ten years engines won't exist as a viable business. It'll be cheaper and faster to vibecode something bespoke for your game, providing the speed and simplicity benefits of a current day pre-made engine but without all the bloat. Tim is trying to pivot hard to make the engine AI friendly to try and salvage the business, but I think he sees the writing on the wall. I'd look for him to exit entirely in a year or two and leave the final winding down to someone else.

Using the schematics I stole from the blacksmith, I forged myself a weapon and a lightweight armguard. Don't need much armor if I just dodge after all. I don't know why I was drawn to the khopesh. It just looked...beautiful to me. I didn't know it then. I didn't know how useful an axe, sword, and sickle in one was. But they'd know. All would know.

I tasted blood for the first time, and I couldn't stop.

The first thing that struck me was how exciting it all was. The sprays of blood, the cries, the rush. But, most of all, just how easy it was. A sword's edge alignment means every strike will draw blood if it touches flesh. Just one good cut, and you're bleeding profusely. I was too drunk on battle to notice how wounded I was. It's a good thing I stole salves from the alchemist staying at the inn. I would've never recovered otherwise.

I don't remember why I even approached them. I think I just wanted to see if I could kill them. And I did. Maybe if someone stopped me, I would've never turned out the way I did. But no one could stop me. No one.

When I discovered I was good at killing, really that I had a taste for it, I went to Neleos. I just killed 4 men singlehandedly and thought I was a demon, like most young men. Why not kill and get paid for it? The imperial guards thought I was too weak, and I fought more with finesse and brain than brawn. Truthfully, I didn't even know what finesse was. Not yet, at least. I could barely nick a heart at the time.

People underestimate how much it takes to kill a man and overestimate how much it takes to die. Even if you slit a man's throat to his spine, he might give off one dying slash, a twitch of his hand. A ruptured lung, a pierced heart, or severed blood vessel. When you finally figure out where, how, and when to attack... You are above all others. Not even the Boatmen were that skilled.

I wish I had fought Dias. Specifically, he was aware of my hostility before I shot him with the crossbow. Neleos and Fulvio died too quickly. Coltan taught me how to mix salves and poison for my blade, killing my enemies even faster through their blood, but he was too slow and old to stop me from hacking him apart before he could shoot me with a poisoned crossbow bolt. I will never forget Agatai. Hulking Ordu bastard. I had to choke him with a well-thrown bolas to his throat. I cleaved his head twice and he still wouldn't die. But he fell soon after when I hacked into his chest.

I didn't do it because I was afraid of the guards' retaliation if we killed their commander. I did it because I wanted to assassinate assassins. To see if I was superior. And I was.

That was the first time I met Gaelius. To meet a lord and tell him with a straight face you killed one of his kind and there is nothing he can do about it because of the laws they set... It was an experience I'll tell you that. He should've realized what kind of man I was then. Darista had to have told him what I did to the Boatmen in Teron. Everyone probably thought we were an unstoppable match. A man with a powerful mind and a man with a powerful blade. No one knew I was both.

There are games where you can go on a quest where you interact somehow with divinities directly but it always feels cheap and almost feels like the meeting wasn't worth the journey. Like the god is a boss so whatever I've fought a million of those and I'll murder it with my OP build. Or you can challenge the god but you don't really get to fight because plot armor so you get some insta loss sequence. You can talk to them but then it's just another gossipy bitch. I don't remember what Pillars did exactly but I remember hating it. I guess it's hard arranging a meeting between the party and the beings that keep the logic of the universe in check or whatever, but I don't know, it always feels mundane or cheap, any game that did it right or interesting at least?

This was just a quick skim, but the common thread is that this blogposter (and effortposter) went beyond "badly" retelling the game's events "without any personal insights." They praised the game at times and criticized its shortcomings too. Narration isn't just about summarizing the plot - this happens, that happens. Again, it's pretty bizarre to think you can blogpost VTMB(2) the same way you can blogpost WotR. If VTMB2 relies on atmosphere, an interconnected narrative, court politics, intrigue, and all the small details that went into environmental design to immerse the player in the world, then these are obviously worth mentioning when relevant. You don't tell a story through a series of fetch quests and combat encounters. The idea that a blogposter should just provide commentary without narration, or descriptive narration without commentary, is asinine. It's a balancing act, and it certainly takes more effort than low-effort shitposting. You dodged my request to name one instance of good blogposting.

The war began over 382 years ago. That's what the construct told me. It was made by the magi, who were no sorcerers but truly wise men who understood the mechanics of reality... To a point. The Void Beings knew more. "Gods." We created them. We gave them vessels intending to trap and become them. Foolishness.

I would rectify this mistake.

I could've talked them down. An entire fort garrison. I wanted to fight them. I wanted to kill them. I wanted to feel alive again because that construct I broke apart was so close to killing me. I was slashed, stabbed, and shot with arrows but I healed. My body's healing process was replaced with an alchemical one some time ago. I had no need of a natural lifespan and doubted I'd die from old age anyway, not with all the enemies I've made. But there was no disputing my ability after that. I killed an entire garrison of trained men acting as a single force who'd known each other for whoever knew how long.

I was the absolute best and drowning in an indescribable emptiness.

AoD takes a lot from the modern idea that the dark/middle ages were le cutthroat bad times where the biggest bastard wins.

Though, realistically, people would be extremely skeptical of Coatl but at the same time not fault him for betraying in order a scammer, a group of assassins, and a military group attempting a coup. People living under rigorous occupation by an oppressive force would just poison their food or burn their fortifications while they slept. You literally can do that in one quest. Raiding and banditry wouldn't be so organized. Figures like Levir would be nailed to a cross, and Maadoran wouldn't have several protection rackets in literally the most defended settlement left on the continent.

I think Colony Ship was better in that while the shithole you start in seems lawless people work together because they have to. Feuding groups can form truces and work with each other. While people vary in faith, they do believe in something.

His interactions with Woljif are really good and make it obvious he misses his family, if the vision at areelu's lab didn't make that obvious.
For his skill-set, he gives me freebooters bond and mops the floor with a lot of enemies while providing flanking to Woljif in fights. It saves me having to be in melee all the time, means I don't need the death tanking mythic myself and basically fills the role usually used for a melee combat merc that I won't have in this playthrough (or the next one).

I killed nearly 200 men before I knew exactly where and when to cut. People wear too little armor and stand too still. My blade could stab through mail, leather, and gambeson all layered on top of each other. If your helmet exposed just your nose, I could stab up into your brain in a heartbeat. A missed slice against me, and I could ensure you'd never use that arm again before making sure you never breathed again. I was a demon before, but I ceased being someone you could just fight. I was Gaelius' red right hand, and the Ordu were his left. Assassin of assassins and the legion he sent first and last.

This game is way too long for how repetitive the combat gets

I had a period where I deliberately avoided using OP shit to keep it more interesting(and doubling health on top of max sliders), but man, I just want to skip combat now
(this is one out of 14 shots)

I traded a set of old world power armor for 20 pounds of meteor steel. I had the material and knew the spells to unlock the armors' full power, but I didn't need it. I wanted my own made with my own skill. Segmented plates offered the most protection while providing the most mobility. With a few adjustments, a murmillo helmet can protect your entire head without sacrificing vision. I can protect my limbs with just movement while not worrying about my vitals. I could fight naked at that point, but it was still better be safe than sorry.

it doesn't take long. Even with all that(Edge of Daybreak had 25k health), 95% of combats end halfway through the first round(I don't use grand strategists or the commander's chrono). This boss died in one burst fire.

it's just that there's a *lot* of combat with fodder and most enemies do nothing except move and do one attack. It's very repetitive.

Of course, Levir made his move next. You'd think a man would learn after you killed all his main enforcers. I suppose I hadn't killed enough. He'd have to learn his lesson the hard way when he started getting into my own protection racket.

The perspective of a timeless being is a strange thing, at first. It is neither peace nor chaos. Eternal stasis. As such, they were drawn here. As such, I wore the Aegis looted from Al-Akia and delved deeper in the Abyss, and I'd go deeper still. The pathway was open. I knew what to do and where to go. Most importantly, I knew Its name. The one we gave it, at least. Balzaar.

That was the last of Levir's men. I'm certain I killed literally everyone he used to enforce his position. With my relationship with Gaelius and the damage I'd already done to the Boatmen, there was very little he could do. I didn't sleep anywhere in the city, I knew antidotes to save me from poisons, and I was immune to infection thanks to my new alchemical healing. The thieves and the boatmen could not touch me. No one could.

Maybe it was foolish to trust a starved mad man, even if he was a noble scholar. But I saved his life and gave him the "spear" he wanted.

And I think that's the end of the prison. Weird, I really thought I'd get to fight Baphomet again here... must've remembered it wrong. Where did he go? I thought he couldn't leave.
Anyway, no rests, no saves, no leaves, one shot. It wasn't even hard, especially with 2 spells that can replenish my slots. Having a full gang of martials that can also cast rays is really strong. Fucking nuisance dispels everywhere though, and it took a lot longer than I thought it would.

It makes all the worst types of people unhappy. I imagine them screaming and crying in their favela and I can't help but smile. Their entire personality and worldview rests on performative 4chins negativity and hating games by default, and people playing and enjoying games even after the memes told them it was forbidden sends them into a real tizzy. This is a CRPG general, a place for people to play and post and discuss CRPGs they enjoy. It's not a group text for apes, and they hate that. But that's okay, we aren't going to reorder the world around the least of us.

I am okay with those mods if they are well made and fit within the established story, and often use them. If there are excessive and unaddressed references to he/she because a romance was only intended for one of the two genders, or if the story is written in such a way that only one gender really fits, that is off-putting. I know that such a mod would be okay and suitable for Cyberpunk if it wins - I honestly don't know if Ashley Williams is lesbian coded or not though, I've never actually finished Mass Effect.

I agree, I think the first 2 acts are the best but at the point you get exemplar levels the shit you're doing is too degenerate and the enemies that get thrown at you can't keep up. Although you're basically 1 hour away from the end if you want, you meet one newish enemy type and wrap it up a bit longer if you want to do Ulfar content.

This is the fight where I realized I didn't understand why my big numbers were big and how mitigation works. The part with Uralon was easy. Then I shoot this guy and I deal like 3 damage. It 1 shots Pasqal and I assume I'm screwed. Argenta does her litany thing, she gets like 6 versatility stacks and I melt the fucker to 1/3rd then assassin Heinrix ended it attacking for like 4000. Can't tell you if it was degraded defence or something with lethality, I had no idea what talents were responsible.

>>586437290
oooh, so that's the gimmick?
I was dogmatic so I had infinite armor piercing(him spawning restarts the fight but keeps your buffs, so). Also I realized quickly that the main issue I had in chunking bosses was their insane armor values, so 80% of my party has Grenadier and the grenades that halve enemy armor. Halving his armor from 220% to 110% is already enough for armor piercing to make him vulnerable.

Uralon was tough for me at first because I intentionally avoid the Commander's Chrono and Grand Strategists. I was wiping the floor so hard that I decided to bring Pasqal instead of Argenta and had to bring Ulfar instead of Abelard.

After a couple reloads I managed to beat him with a couple party members living, but Edge of Daybreak spawning just made it impossible to win. I restarted with the Chrono on Jae and killed everything turn one

I like that his gimmick(getting an extra turn when perils of the warp happens) doesn't matter, because after Idira gets a turn to buff everyone, Uralon could get five free turns and he wouldn't be able to do anything.
