>>4131192Yeah, totally inexcusable. Litetally the only solution is to break up. Dude dodged a bullet.
>>4130283>Play the originalThe original (jp) has higher job requirements. Only the american ps1 version has lower requirements.

>>4106246I think I always went dual wield knight for this. Tanked his first hit and ended on the second round.
How long can you subsist solely on the same 20 year old grudges and arguments, still treating Fallout 3 like the end of the world, never moving on?

I've never visited this site, but Fallout 2 always struck me as an odd choice of game to be such a weirdo over.Don't get me wrong, I loved Fallout 2 when I was a kid, because it is a very edgy game filled with sex and violence. But it is also a half-finished game where every other character is a Family Guy tier pop culture reference and the gameplay consists of a clusterfuck of your teammates shooting each other and you in the back (unless you go solo, which then highlights how boring solo turn based rpgs are).
>>4089926But anon, Fallout 3 IS shit! Save for the jazz music (not the happy go lucky 50’s schlock) and the architecture present in game. Those are both great.
these guys are still alive? I thought they all died from old age
>>4089926Bro how did you guys lose like 10 years Zoomers are like 28, do you mean gen alpha?

What is /vrpg/ expecting out of Final Fantasy XVII?
>>4132965Action-Combat MMORPG, for sure
>>4128407There was a 16?
>>4132984If true, I hope I can actually enjoy it. No matter how hard I tried, I could never really get into FF14, and I've enjoyed City Of Heroes, Phantasy Star Online, golden age WOW, Guild Wars 1, and Guild Wars 2.

I played all the fallout games and it’s just so happy go lucky. especially 2,3, and 4. they’re kinda getting walked through disney worId. I need something that’s just absolutely fucking miserable. not a sign of joy anywhere in the game, where most of the NPCs you meet end up committing suicide. are there any good games like this?
>>4134975That's the moral of the story, yes. Nothing can stop normal civilization with all its flaws and warts from rising, not even giant rats or orcs. Post-post-apocalyptic.That's also why people who want post-apocalypse or apocalypse fiction don't get it.
>>4134975the original writer said every one in Fallout is crazy to cope with the misery and horror>>4135007"post-post" isn't a valid term and people that use it are dumbasses.That ISN'T the moral of the story. Fallout is post apocalyptic. Go play your "cozy" town builder games you insufferable FAGGOT
>>4135877Yes, you like Mad Max Bethesda theme parks, we get it. Still doesn't make it true. The Fallout games are about rebuilding and its various tribulations as freaks fight over the future of the human race even as most people are normal. In fact, they really shouldn't even be endless deserts anymore, but some kind of strange fantastical future civilization.
>>4135879>mad maxNo i dont care about that>bethesdaim not a fan of bethesdas take or game quality>amusement parkSays the faggot that wants the game series to be green grass and clean suburban houses.>the Fallout games are about rebuildingnever was a thing in the classics. This is literally ironically the Besthesda slogan for Fo4 and 76. Which makes you a basedboy bethesda faggot.If you want that play 76, thats right up your alley lots of bright colours and rebuilding shit with tape with your reddit friends.
>>4135885>>the Fallout games are about rebuilding>never was a thing in the classics. This is literally ironically the Besthesda slogan for Fo4 and 76.Correct. The classics were made by degenerates, who had no vision beyond "be gay and miserable, punch nazis, and die from STDs"Todd Howard (a straight white western christian man) took the Fallout franchise to greater heights, with a greater message and philosophy. He saw something in each of us. A future for western civilization. A future for mankind.Do not give into despair."If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first"- Todd Howard
Not a single new or update about the combat. The most boring, tedious and slow combat ever.I wish it could become a Chivalry-like where your moves MATTER and there are dismemberments, but if it's not possible, at least a heavy deep update that makes it FUN to play.>SWTOR wants to be a WoW-killer>has the worst combat ever, tab-target>it's even slower than WoW's>WoW at least keeps updating it, SWTOR is been the same since 2011>EA acts surprised when it didn't triumph over WoW >combat is 97% of gameplay>the other 3% is some cool story-decision, options that don't matter, cashslop, speed to missions but too slow and some other meh stuff>you can't even flight like in WoWAlso, still it's NOT an open-world, unlike WoW.
>>4127895If you just do the class story, you'll find yourself underleveled. Doing just the class story and the planetary arcs will keep you leveled. Adding any sidequests on top of that, yeah, you shoot past it.
>>4127895>You would have to avoid every quest, and any mob possible and it might still not be enoughYou begin to see the problem.
>>4117491>>4117690>>4117758>>4117844I don't know how Claude or any other AI will affect to the genre, I just thinking it will be interesting to see and test it. Ok, we are not in the 90s nor 00s anymore, but there's still people that play in that way. We don't lose anything for trying and see what happens.
>>4114540There's some differences based on classes in later expansions but it's nowhere near as much as with the original class stories, for example Sith Warrior has some differences when you do the chapter that involves Vette helping to plant a bomb inside a vault so you can heist it, force users get options to force choke people occasionally, in Iokath and Onslaught you can rejoin your original faction, stay independent, or become a double agent for the other side, if you rejoin the empire as Inquisitor you can get your seat on the Dark Council back by murdering the upstart who took your place , etc. if you want to keep romancing the original companion from class stories when they show up again you need to be that class, like when Kira returns there's special stuff for Jedi Knights but overall the expansions are more homogenized.
When I pick a second combat style do they somehow synergize? The way I understand it is that you have to switch between them (which is not possible in a fight) and if you pick a second class that uses different weapons/ armor you would have to change those everytime you switch jobs as well. So I could just take Power Tech as a second style for my Mercenary Bounty Hunter to see how it plays instead of making a new character?Also on the Topic of Bounty Hunter, Mako got at least 3 times as many voice lines, while exploring planets, as Vette.

Richard Garriott is trying to get the Ultima trademark back from EA. He just did a presentation on it at Dragoncon. It's possible they might license it back to him, since he already owns the trademark for Lord British and parts of the pre-1992 Ultima properties, apart from the "Ultima" name itself. Since EA has been bought by the Saudis. Would you play a new single-player Ultima game if Lord British published one?
>>4131131>Garriott-led Ultima entry, than just Ultima Online continuing to be milked endlessly by EA.given that LB tried to make another MMO to milk it right after quitting EA/Origin, you're a fool to think he cares about single-player RPGs.
>>4085774All these old gamedev legends are completely useless in the modern industry.Ok, you made games back when they were simple enough to make alone or with a tiny team?Cool, but that talent does not translate into leadership and project management.You're now just a useless idea guy who brings nothing except name recognition and money to the table.
>>4131278I can never hate the man who brought us Final Fantasy and ran a D&D larp haunted house for the public out of his multimillion dollar castle home.Even if the space trip was kind of scammy, who among us wouldn't do that sort of thing?I'd rather see him try and fail than another mid Saaaarfield be produced.I don't think he has the backbone to stand up against liberal gamedev and hiring practices though and come through with something good but it is a thing that should be done. The ones to do it properly are going to win the next generation of gaming. Tainted Grail is doing awesomely on a shoestring budget for example.Talk about aislop all you want, but there hasn't been an opportunity for a lone dev or small team to get their ideas out from under the suffocating mass of corporate memphis grub hub dei liberalism like this in some time.It is essentially the same environment we have now that he distinguished himself in the first place, a technical environment in which no one knew what they were doing anymore, and an artistic environment bereft of actually legitimate RPG things that weren't MMOs, Gacha, Action games with a couple of RPGesque skill trees, DEI seminars, etc. etc. etc..He probably will fail, and you can come back here later and say 'see I told you so' and go back to sucking on Genshin Impact teat or whatever brainrot you're into but we'll all be poorer for it.

>>4135093I really need to get around to playing BG3. We're finally at the point where even western RPGs look good, lads.
>>4135153The game is shit. Good production values is all it has.
>>4135153I finished the first two acts and then stalled out at the first town in act 3 when other JRPGs released that I began playing.I'd say that the strength of the game is in how seemless most of the questing is. There is a broad overarching quest, but not obvious mandatory main objectives you are supposed to do in a strict order. Instead, most of the gameplay is you wandering around the map and running into different incidents or events or cutscenes, and all of the sidequests have the same level of production values as the main quest. So it doesn't feel like there is a disconnect or that you are doing fillery stuff.Another thing the game has going for it is that you have a lot more freedom compared to other RPGs (especially JRPGs). Namely, you can kill almost any NPC or party member you don't like and not get judged by the narrative as being an evil protagonist and locked into an evil route. A major problem with JRPGs is that you have to put up with unlikeable party members, or a NPC gets off scott free for his deeds. BG3 lets you resolve that. I met a party member who was 1. a demon, 2. talked like a redditor, and 3. acted as if she was a dindu while at the same time gloating about how many people she killed during her 10 years of slavery. The narrative tries hard to push you on her but you can immediately say no and shut that down (see pic).>We're finally at the point where even western RPGs look good, lads.Sadly, the game by default has a detached, birds eye distance top down view which squanders the assets they made. You have to use a mod to get a normal 3rd person view and better enjoy the environments.1/2
>>41352232/2Also, while the visual fidelity is very high, I do think that the art direction/aesthetic of the game is rather bland. As in the way the characters, environments, spells, and creatures look. Texturing/shading/lighting/etc. It does not look memorable the way that a Final Fantasy game does or the Souls series does. It's a shame because it was a WotC licensed game, and WotC owns a lot of fantastic art. MTG, Dragonlance, etc. Should have made the game look like that IMO.If you do play it, I would recommend the following mods:No Alphabets modRealms RestoredDeGirlBossDignifyReallyShadowheartBetterRomanceWyllsOfToril (I used the black version for a more handsome fellow knightly party member)Comment too long.

>>4135229Thanks. I will play vanilla on a console. That 3rd person mod would probably be nice though.>(replaces the female narrator with an older male voice)I'm surprised, she sounds great to me.
I legitimately don't understand why Age of Decadence, Colonyship and Underrail aren't really constantly heralded as actually good examples of chudcore video games. If you actually want to win the culture war, you have to actually put out an example of actually good right-wing media. These games are RPGcodex approved after all, they COULD be used to push an example of a neoculture but this does not seem to be happening at all. Why the fuck isn't Asmongold and Synthetic Man constantly posting about these games?
>>4108811>Highfleet Kostya is an actual Christian, the kind that donates blood for gay heroin addicts, volunteers at homeless shelters full of churkas, and reproduces with a Le Modern Female (whom he doesn't even beat). He's as cruddy as Pope Francis.
>>4107482How much of a schizo white trash do you have to be to believe that bullshit? Finally took a break from the street shitting and school shootings to type such a braindead comment? Indians are largely absent on this site, relatively speaking. Rapeape is as white as they come, he's a fellow clay-shitskin. Seethe and cope. Maybe clay-poo moderators are, like Nipshimura, are relatively hands-off with this site's moderation.
>>4133764Pushtar... you're trying way to hard.
>>4107596>Polish(?) christian nationalistQuite the opposite, it's made by a serbian zigger
>>4106987I don't play games for the politics of their makers, I play them because I like them Age of Decadence is a bad game, the primary gameplay loop is savescuming between every encounter because despite the claims of "reactivity" there is usually only one solution to every problem and if you don't have the right skills invested you cannot proceed
are there any good playable vampire experiences in games? ideally itd be in some kind of MMO where its an uncommon playstyle. nothing seems to capture the horror/thirst aspect well.
My problem with vampire games is that almost none of them include immortality of any kind which, along with bloodsucking, is the defining trait of a vampire. It is very hard to make a vampire feel like a vampire if the story only takes place over a small amount of time. Which is why the best vampire game is modded Crusaders Kings 2 or 3. Immortal, powerful, ruling over a domain, bloodthirsty if you have a good mod.>>4105379VTM: Redemption is the only RPG I know that gets this.>>4105352You'll probably need to use a mod for the thirst aspect. Unfortunately most developers are too cautious to include such a punishing mechanic. Both Skyrim or VTMB have mods that emphasis the thirst and desperation angle.
>>4105354came here to post this the action part of the game sucks ass tho>>4105394>>4117381>How good is the storymeh more like OKbut the dialog writing is melancholic and dramatic in a good way
There are no good vampire games. Trust me, I've looked. Bloodlines is the only one that's even worth mentioning, but most people have played it to death at this point.

What is an Organic RPG? Crusader Kings, Star Wars Outlaws, Stellaris and to the nemesis system, the Shadow of Mordor series. — A non-RPG game that forces the player into roleplaying their character, i.e: make decisions and arrangements that are reacted by in-Universe consequences and characters.Example:In Star Wars Outlaws (2025), which is not an RPG, you are hired to investigate and bust a scheme of rigged farther jockey races by the Hutt syndicate. Through investigation, you discover that the Pykes have a mole in the jockey races and they tip off a random citizen that then earns the money betting and gives them their share. By the end of this questline, you are offered a chance to expose the scheme to the Hutts or take part in it, as offered by the Pykes. If you stay true to your word and give the data to the Hutt clients, the Pyke syndicate is severely antagonized, and Pyke occupied areas become hostile to you, most of their vendors won't want to sell to you, they won't help you during space travel or quests, etc. But you are allowed to make ammends with the Pykes, by searching an in-game intermediary who is still willing to talk to you, and who allows you to hand over to the Pykes data about imperial activity and rival syndicates. You are also given opportunities to betray other syndicates to benefit the pykes, and so on.This makes the player actually roleplay as a scoundrel juggling the various interests and people of the galaxy, and is effectively an RPG system creating an organic story.There is no script. There is barely any dialogue choice. It is just you becoming your character to obtain in-Universe advantages, and living unscripted adventure stories.-Comment too long.

>>4126688I'm enjoying the FUCK out of Crusader Kings 3 right now.
OP is not wrong. Most tabletop DnD these days is 5000-page backstories with either stat munching or theater of the mind crap. If you make them engage with things like exploration and survival mechanics (so they have to bring out ranger) a la Tolkien they'll shit themselves
>>4126837Shitdom hearts cringe is from final fantasy but kek at giving a shit about final fantasy not counting the spinoff.>>4127864>Bioware slop>Not modern audience friendly Lol. Kek-lmao even. Baldur's gate was the original goyslop rpg. Even better it's bioshit because they made keks of the old republic who's only positive is being better than the sequel.
>>4130568Tabletop can easily be saved if you simply rape all larpers
>>4130568There is a lot more roleplaying in actually engaging with the mechanics than just 'tell don't show' I'm a Ranger / Fighter / Wizard.You hit it in the head.For me, the ranger is the person actually engaging with the food / travel / exhaustion / map mechanics and finding the way to go, even if it is boring and number crunching. It reminds me of Space Station 13, where roleplaying comes as a natural consequence of you trying to do your role. Even this non-RPG hits better what makes an RPG than most.
Why aren't there more space JRPGs?
>>4009156space is actually a terrible setting for a game. its either ww2 battleships in 3d water, or its autistic fly by at lightspeed for a microsecond and you both kill each other, neither model is fun to actually play. outside of vehicular combat, you can look forward to exploring all 10 same looking decks of a submarine.
