>hear people complain how black and white fallout 3 is and how much better new vegas is>play new vegas>first conflict: help the town that selflessly saved your life or side with bandits to slaughter them for no reasonObsidian don't do 'grey'. They do 'painfully obviously good/evil'New Vegas is honestly one of the best examples of thisMost of the choices are literally 'kill the nice people/innocents or else let the evil guys take over'
>>3908057What about the skills check?
>>3903029My son, don't you see, there are no nice people or "innocents" in the world./cynicism
>>3903029>uhhh wow wtf??>this literal tutorial town is literally a tutorial?retardthat said, while goodsprings as a faction is literally designed solely to introduce you to the full range of faction/reputation mechanics within the span of 15mins; the powdergangers dont have as good of an excuse. they actually ARE given a few quests outside the ghosttown gunfight one, they HAVE a base, a leader, some vendors, a doc, and even hit squads if you piss em off. theyre clearly supposed to be an actual faction. but it obv ran into the same problem as the legion ran outta time.its explicitly stated that both the gangers in primm, as well as the ones in vault 19, are powdergangers. but no matter what your rep is when you get there, vault 19 isnt hostile, and primm IS. neither groups are even labeled as faction members
I think it’s good game design to have both grey and black and white. For one, if you’re role playing as evil, then you do butcher the town that saved you. And that’s fun. Loot them. Carry on questing. But if you’re just a normal player sometimes the battle between good and evil is fun. And then sometimes it’s fun when both parties have a good case. I remeber thinking the party system was a bit jank (can’t remeber why) but the quests were not the weak point of that game.
>>3907780>staying neutral and not picking sides makes for a boring storygolly gee
What's your summoner of choice? Personally I feel like making evil demons your bitch is more appealing than torturing souls of potentially good men and defiling their bodies
>>3908163I'm running a pathfinder campaign where warlocks get their powers from waifu spirits. They require an hour of physical contact each day plus you have to sleep next to them to regain spells.Comes with life extension leading to immortality, your waifus personal demiplane as an always accessible home, and waifu wrangling.Abilities, personality, and alignment varies depending on planar origin. Basically shape shifting familiars (tail included) with templates that progress.
>>3908171Only downside is you have to manage her emotions/tantrums, but it gives the wives/gfs something to roleplay.
>>3908166witchcraft is inherently gay though, like being a hairdresser or a nurse. it's a feminine activity. try to keep up.>>3908169yeah, it's kinda nonsensical in those cases.
>>3908171>>3908172This is a thread about whether it's cooler to summon demons or raise skeletons, keep waifu shit out if you will
>>3908173Warlocks act nothing like witches though, male or otherwise. I've never seen one by a cauldron
Devhell EditionPrevious: >>3874175
>>3907967hang that nigga nowAnyway, I got 2 question related to 2k31. Actors can be aflicted with multiple states, right?2. Why is it that RM2k3 games crash when a skill that inlficts a state gets reflected?
I still think XP had the best music tho
Don't know who needs to know this, but Show String Picture cannot traditionally take variable values for the Spacing and Line Spacing entries (distance between letters, distance between line breaks), but you can do this using Call Command. (You can easily copy+paste in a specific Show String Picture command by using the button that generates the command from the clipboard (this is also how you circumvent Show String Picture's inability to take variables for RBYS, but for different reasons))The reason it doesn't take a variable is because those two things account for 1 singular value.A Show String Picture command that has 0, 0 for Spacing/Line Spacing will have a value of "1" in the area of its Call Command entry that deals with this parameter.It's a simple calculation to decide what that value needs to be for a given pair of Spacing, Line Spacing.>(Spacing * 256) + (Line Spacing * 65536) + 1That is all.
>>3908110And in the call command window, v[10006] is where the parameter for spacing+line spacing is located.
>>3904530What's the other game you're making?
When does it get good?
>>3906292>What they call the good ending is trash too. They seriously tell you Yeah, this chick lied you and every other partner that trusted her, tried to kill you multiple times but please understand she is a victim that deserves happiness as well so if you are a hero you´ll forgive her and be cool with the vixen.Why are you gay?
>>3907238Gay is when you kill a mass-murdering, manipulative, deceitful, hateful, giga-slut monster is my favorite flavor of teenage incel.
Thanks Lann. You're so AWESOME Lann.
>>3907238Why are you a cuck? >>3906439Damn right it is.
Any Owlcat game past the character creator is dogshit.Buggy 1 million trash encounters is not a fun experience.
It's official, I'm replaying Skyrim now. It's better than I remember it to be honest. This was likely a game just as monumental as Ocarina of Time was for an entire generation. I haven't touched this game since it first released, so this is quite the experience.

>>3907744>why people enjoy it?>>3907752>I couldn't give you a straight answer."Why u like ice creams?""I don't know"What's even going through your heads, really?
>>3908130There's an answer right above your post ya silly faggot
>>3908157I'm not the one who's confused about people enjoying video games
>>3908161Yea, you're confused about whether are able to respond to that question.
Look Outside is pretty neatLots of exploration, plenty of detailed spritesCombat is pretty basic (RPGmaker), so if that's your focus you might be disappointed
>>3908121Hellen is my top contender but i just like leigh. Her interactions are varied enough that you get to picture her in a lot of different scenarios and could even see how she'd keep living post game end. Plus reality warping on demand is a helluva drug.Hellen snu-snu is nice though>>3908119acktuahlly it's Damage Per Round
I never get Hellen as a door encounter, current run has Dan and I like how he swaps roles and you are trading off those roles. Viewership isn’t dynamic enough however, landing crits in attacks or dealing a high damage value for a turn or using certain “crowd pleaser” weapons (like the chainsaw) should also be boosting audience but they don’t seem to.>>3908080I know what do you imagine, freak.
>>3908143My mind likes imagining the bizarre thumbnails for various apartments.“Taxidermy gone too far?!!” Clickbait
>Dont help Jeanne >Ends up falling into "accepting being that this monster is what she is now" instead of losing herself mind entirely as it first would seem>The other heads mentally mutate instead of physically mutate from this shift, meaning the other heads get smarter and start being armed with guns and other equipment, throwing firebombs even
>>3908154No I am not obsessingNo I am not lamenting what I feel is wasted potential No I am not annoyed by the confusing as all hell priorities of the devs of this game It's all fineWe needed glitch worldIt was totally a necessary addition
2026 is almost here. This year for sure, right?
Guys, please don't fight...
>>3907962*rapes you*
>>3907965>how anon felt typing that
>>3908147Node is cute!I'd like to buy a pocketwatch because of her, and the White Rabbit in general, but I'm sure decent ones are very expensive
One of the best action rpgs we have the joy of playing in the year of our Lord 2026. A jap has beaten it over 300 times, and is streaming it now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1MTB-7cPYwIf you claim to have a "favorite rpg" but haven't beaten it even 10 times, are you even telling the truth? Are you even a fan of it? Or is it just fake interest on your part?
Until they mod the game to play more like sword of mana I can't imagine sitting through this game again. Once was enough. Sword and children are better than it even with their problems. Secret is not even a finished game but it plays alright too if you don't care.
>>3908082>Played Secret of Mana 3D remake on vita>Sorta copy a speedrunner route >Get softlocked accidentally doing some skip or invincibility glitchHa! Yes ! So cool>>3908115Sounds like skill issue. It happens to best of us!
>>3908062They took on Western values with the Meiji Restoration and went even further with their loss in WW2, but they are not Westerners, hence they are "westoid" since the -oid suffix means "not actually the thing but like it", like with humanoid meaning shaped like a human or android being a man-like robot. Unfortunately nu-weebs don't know what the memes they copied mean, I think they got it from /pol/tards using "leftoid" and thought it was merely a form of insult.
>>3908142can you define these too: jewoid commuoid tranoid
>>3908159I don't have to define them, I already told you what -oid meant when added to a word, so any defintiion is just "like the thing but not it", so like a Jew but not actually Jewish, Arcanum gnomes for instance, is jewoid, et cetera, et cetera.C'mon now, think for yourself.
What am I in for? Should I use this to make my game, instead of RPG Maker?

Fus Ro DAH is the most recognised RPG line in history Closely followed by "war never changes"Why does Bethesda absolutely dominate RPG pop culture?
>>3908089>cont'dIt's also somewhat age related. Children are more into meme culture because they're not really able to construct a culture or synthesize a meaningful response to what they are experiencing in a given moment. Adults don't need to rely on memes, because they have a genuine, sincere grasp of a situation and thus their response is similarly authentic.Children, as you might have noticed, aren't often playing twenty-six year old games with dated graphics and required attention spans. Otherwise you'd hear Zoomers saying shit like "You have much untapped power. Do you even realize your potential?" or "Ohhhh ho... you - you are a smart one! You said what you did just to get me mad!"And then there's sociological claims about the development of a monoculture. Let's just say that the internet was very different in those early days. Communities were connected to each other in networks, but posts within those communities weren't really transferable. A forum comment on an obscure fan site didn't have the reach to affect a show writer in Hollywood who was writing dialogue for fucking F.R.I.E.N.D.S. or whatever. These days, Marvel movies commonly reference memes and slang of its contemporary year. In the early oughties, the internet and video games were a thing that only profoundly un-cool shut-in geeks and dorks were involved with. It was NOT ok to play video games as an adult. It was NOT ok to talk about internet forum culture as an adult. Stuff that happened "on the computer" was inherently negligible and "not real life".That's changed. And the major point of inflection was around 2010 when social media and smart phones matured into a form that resembles what they are today.
>>3908094>cont'dAll of this is a long way to explain that memes require a lot of people to host and transmit them, in order for them to spread and survive for a while. Exactly like any other virus.Social media reaches hundreds of millions of people within minutes. Many orders of magnitude more than the few hundred people who would read a popular forum thread back in 1995 - 2008.One of the factors of viral propagation is the size of the host network, which is also one of the factors of long-term survival. The memes from years ago that you keep seeing... are literally echoes as the wavefront of that virus' propagation is bouncing around within the network. You experience the arrival of that wavefront washing over you literally as seeing the meme again.
>>3908109Lol
>>3908089>X was a setback>You are not prepared>Father is it over?Don't listen to this anon, he doesn't know what he's talking about. As if COD and GTA weren't a thing in the oughts
What's a popular JRPG opinion you regularly hear that is stupid?
>>3907545>villain who has been planning his epic plan for decades gets talked down in 5 seconds>then another shitty villain pretends to kill him for absolutely no reason instead of just killing him>game then just ends abruptly with "please play cold steel" while also spoiling a bunch of shit that happens in the process because they didnt want to actually write an endingits awful the game completely shits the bed at the final dungeon in general
>>3906705It doesn't though. It doesn't TRY to flesh out anything. It just gives you a lot of pointless text to where NPCs have more to say than your own party members but not of it matters worth a lick. It's all just repeating shtick. I LIKE TO FISH! LET'S SPEND MULTIPLE GAMES TALKING ABOUT FISH! OH THAT OTHER PERSON LIKES FISH! WE TOTES BECAME COUPLE!
>>3904200>I hate trails, therefore I will larp like any game could replace it despite their gameplay being totally dissimilar.
>>3908058yeah i know trails is mostly just filler fluff but they still try to actually flesh out the setting more than the vast majority of jrpgs do which says more about how shit most jrpg worldbuilding is than it does about good trails's worldbuilding is
>>3904200>regularly hear that is stupid?"HD" demakes. like this shit >>3905761always some moron shilling the crap "enhanced" edition. they must be forced to buy ads, hiromoot!

Versas magic damage in ASYLUM is rediculously high. On in earth are you supposed to keep your party alive?
>>3907737Biggest thing with Asylum's lategame and postgame fights is learning the attack rotation for each and making a strategy around that. Stuff like learning what turn to incite with your tank and when to pop their invincibility skill is really important. A general tip is to dark resist brands and light attack brands (non-elemental skills, both physical and elemental, can change element with these), and the Cloak or Armor of Scala for Malice. Dark resist ring, Rainbow colored ring and Piro's ring are great too. I would also suggest doing Aryaum Mirage Grotto a bit if you need to get stronger. It's the best way to get to level 99, and the Aryaum Jewel and familiar robes are really busted when you do enough floors for stat points.
>>3907748Do you know where i can find the turn order for bosses like these? That would be appreciated.

Best Healer to play in the series and also has the cutest voice
>>3907662
>>3907657Zest is fine. Bers is a different system that’s massively worse
>>3907662>how do you get the Fujishima art on the Battle Status icons in Abyss? I've seen screenshots of it a million times but never actually figured out how to do it They are pre-release screenshots from before they had the battle icons finished
>>3907703Didn't also zest have the five\six crystals to do attacks and then wait to refill them?
>>3908122Nope, game let's you string four attacks/Artes together, and if you want to continue stringing Artes with the same character, you either use armatization or one the character needs a stack 4 Skill (Ekseed).Even with those two, you still need SC to keep attacking, tho.
What is (you)r favourite Fallout game, and why?
this honestly might be the most overrated series of games of all time, i went through the first 2 multiple times and theyre ok but by no means do they even begin to justify the lunatic grognard fixation with themalso the 1st one is hard carried by the music which is all plagiarised anyway
