What RPGs have the best assassin storyline?
>>3489140>There's random guy on Manaan who recruits you and sends you killing people around the galaxyPazaak players be like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I gotta go around the galaxy to uhhhhhhhh kill people now
Dragon Age 2 has some hitman quests lolweird game and not that bad, I guess the way fights work are lame
>>3489025Yeah, oblivion and skyrim have the best assassin storylines.
age of decadence
>>3489279Was quite good and it has a lot of neat offramps too, as in moments where you can betray the guild and take up a different path in a clever way
What's your favorite rpg-related music track /vrpg/?
The only thing Funcom has ever done right was the soundtrack for Age of Conan.
>>3490318Should probably link the songhttps://youtu.be/GBFHgmgyiJg?si=T7nL3x0wPEo4SswF
Guardian Tales soundtrackhttps://youtu.be/pq15JuN8FhA?t=5447
>>3486998>>3487252Lecher Bitch is so fucking good too; Still posting VTMB songs is almost cheating.
>>3488007good choices
Is this any good?Also, obscure cRPG thread
>>3487432They're living the dream, kinda motivating
>>3487600they don't fulfill k*ckstarter promises
>>3487387Any other RPG's with a similar tone or setting? Really looking forward to Skald and I've burnt myself out a bit on Darklands recently.
>>3487387>game setting inspired by late bronze age Transylvania>most names are either latin(romans didn't have a significant presence in Transylvania until after 100AD) or slavic(slavs weren't in that region at all until the 6th century)immersion ruined
>>3490361inspired doesn't mean it's yurop thoughkys autist
So I'm not entirely sure where to put this, so I'll start here. There has been a slump of good RPG's to play lately in my opinion, so I started to go back and play a few old classics that I enjoyed as a young lad. One of them being the absolute classic Kotor 2. I downloaded a few mods to make it playable, as this game is well known for being rushed out the door as a bug ridden, incomplete mess by the developers.Now I don't remember the games sides stories very well, but I do remember that you could pretty much choose if your companions go light side or dark side though out the game. When I first played the game back in the day, I chose going light side, and trained up my crew to be Jedi to use light side force powers to fight for the power of friendship or whatever bullsh*t was the light side way of doing things. But I wanted to do things a bit differently this time. I want to play a dark side pimp with a harem of bitches. But when I try to search for mods of multiple romances to try and reflect this, all I get is same-sex relationship mods, most with lectures in the descriptions about how the mod author was upset that there were few options in the vanilla game to be a flamer or female construction worker. If that's what you want to play, that's fine. That's what mods are for. But when I try to search for a mod to roleplay as a pimp, the mod is basically not available. Like anywhere. I know that NexusMods is basically a bastion of retarded political morality now, but it seems like people have to go to LoversLab if they want even a slightly edgy gaming experience now. So I guess this thread is for a few reasons. Who was your favorite romance in kotor 2 and why? What is your favorite mod for kotor 2?Why, in your opinion, are gay mods so prevalent and downright pushed in pretty much every game nowadays?Does anybody know of a place that I can download and install a mod that lets me have multiple romances in a fictional game that was popular 15+ years ago?
>>3489108Mods are made by people, and Nexus has the most. It's ideological bias doesn't censor shit like harem/polyamory. But would probably censor something like turning the lesbian character (if it existed) into playersexual.Seems like most mod sites nowadays are biased in one way or another so you're out of luck.
I would put my pp in handmaiden and then fuck Visas while handmaiden is out on missions as my side piece
>>3489195I know right?There should have been a simp, mommies boy path. She still degrades you but smiles and gives you a hug after.God, I want it so bad bros. .
It could just be because a mod like that would probably be pretty buggy and hard to make. Whoever you choose to romance changes multiple plotpoints and can get you into arguments with other players. Trying to do them all at once would just make things glitchy.
>>3490400How so? Can you give an example of how a romance changes plotpoints in such a way that would conflict with another romance?
Have there been worse mandatory updates/downgrades in RPG history than Bethesda's Skyrim and Fallout 4 ones?
Write Japanese...
Fuck off samefagging necrobumper.
Some nips like English, but some nips don't.And thing is, neither read English.It's a bit hilarious, really.
>>3443147If you have played Kingdom Hearts, you already know very well what we mean by “Nomuraism”, right?What they meant by "Japanese" is,perhaps, a synonym for that.
I couldn't even finish Part 1. I knew they were gonna expand the story, but I didn't expect everything they added to be fucking retarded lol. I also didn't expect them to change major plot points that completely change the story-line.
>>3414478What's wrong?I think it looks great UI.Are you idiot?
JRPGs haven't changed since the 90sWhat's there to be inspired by?
>>3487592>entirely brown partyThat's the audience tho.
>>3487559Xenoblade Chronicle games are a perfect example of jrpgs evolving.
>>3489298>That's the audience tho.No it's not.
>>3487559They don't need to be inspiring any more. they just need to not be as shit as everything else have become and if they haven't changed since the 90's they is always going to be true.
>>3488453DnD is irrelevant to every genre
Childhood is thinking Suikoden is a good series.Adulthood is accepting Legend of Heroes is better in every single way.Better world building, gameplay, story, characters the list goes on and on.
retardation is specifically comparing these two when Suikoden has been long deadAnd in general they don't have more in common with each other than all JRPGs do
>>3486418>And in general they don't have more in common with each other than all JRPGs doOnly real commonality is the fact that each game/arc (Suikoden/Kiseki respectively) is generally located in one country in a consistent setting with a long running "metaplot."
>>3486410I prefer Kiseki myself yes. But to be honest, Kiseki is simply the best game series ever made so...it is what it is.
>>3486454>Kiseki is simply the best game series ever madeIt's true.
How is triangle strategy?
>>3489846That would completely break the game balance, one of the major strength of that game.
>>3489849I will accept your demands on the condition that the loli clown gets replaced with a big tittied and big assed mommy clown.
>>3489846That would be stupid.
>>3489846How? best part of the game is having no generics and each unit having it's own unique gimmick or passive.
>>3489120excellent strategy gameplay, the game is incredibly well balanced to the point where most battles feel overwhelmingly against you at first but end up beatable with the right strategystory is interesting but very long winded, and the characters themselves aren't the most interesting, especially the MCthe music is fantastic except for the spoiler track which is so cheesy its funny, and the artstyle is very divisive but I love it

>>3483942It's a decent jrpg thougheverly?
>Modern jrpg>not welcome on /vrpg/what a shame.
>>3483957>Chinese>jrpg
>>3483940You have a dedicated board for gachashit>>>/vmg/
macross better
OK guys I have made a notable discovery about this game, are you ready for this?
>>3489395>>3489915Also read the posts in >>3489392 for a better idea of who he is.
>>3489917lol, I'm the OP of this thread, the first anon you replied to out of those two, and also the anon you've linked to in the other thread.I just did this thread as a little joke cos I noticed something I thought was funny, and took the opportunity to shit on XI a little, but man how the fuck is it even possible to discuss FF on this board (or I suspect any board) without it being drowned out by one sperglord's overwhelming autism? There has to be a way, right?
>>3489132Could Vana'diel be a FF14 shard world?
>>3489915>He's got a knack for details, I'll say that much.The majority of his details are straight up wrong. He tried to do this shit with Xenosaga/Xenogears a few months back and got utterly humiliated.
>>3489960It's a theory. But probably not the same Vana'diel. It would probably be different in some fundamental way.
I would like to play in an alive / persistent world that has true darkness.Could WoW be that? WoW 2 with a new engine?I want the 80s/90s dark fantasy back.
>>3486479Not exactly fantasy, but The Secret World, SMT: Imagine, and EVE Online all sort of fill that dark 90s vibe. They're all mostly dead though.
>>3489296>The Secret WorldI miss it, /v/ros.
>>3488319The art style wasn't great at the start either. It was noted for its outdated and low quality assets. Now they call it timeless.I remember in another multiplayer game in the mid 00s and they imported wow models for weapons, but they always looked like toys.
>>3488319Wow and Warcraft 3 were a really special blend of Metzen and Samwise. If you look at Metzen's art it's all super masculine, comic book hero proportioned, grim dark warriors and blood. Metal album covers as you describe.Samwise on the other hand is like someone read a bunch of Conan the Barbarian stories growing up, but was also a cartoonist. He somehow blends muscle bound beefy warriors with a very elegant and almost cartoony exaggeration of form.When you combine Metzen and Samwise you get that perfect mix of over the top stylized, but still cool that Warcraft 3 and Early WoW captured. No other game has ever hit that blend as well as those two games. One unexpected benefit of the stylized forms is that they read SUPER cleanly from far away and that made WoW the most successful at visual communication of all the MMOs.
>>3486479>wow>wow 2i hope the mmo industry keeps getting worse and worse and never dies to be reborn until you grow old and die you fucking faggot
>If <insert game here> doesn't allow me to kill every single NPC in the game (including children) and still allow me to complete the main quest, then it's not a CRPG!
>>3481608Name one RPG without a single hateable character
>>3485801Kek
>>3487144yeah that's the way I feel about iton the other hand I really wouldn't mind if they level a handful unkillable if they can't think of a way around it even if they don't want to write some elaborate excuse like with Yes Man in New Vegas. I like an open design but you don't have to push it to the point where you're just making needless work for yourself. Just don't let it go Bethesda tier where half the NPCs are immortal
>>3489721*level = left
>>3481585I'm fine with unkillable NPCs. A minority of people ever kill them, but working around those possibilities can increase the amount of work a quest will require. Of course unkillable NPCs should be kept to a minimum.Like people believe voice acting limits development, I believe unkillable NPCs can do the same. Don't bother if it's too much work.
Where's the fun in playing as these butt ugly things?
>>3488392>you can't appreciate V for Vendetta because of anonymousOh I hated that faggot moore way before that.
>>3488393Do you hate fun?
>>3486981to spite my brother and sister who told me not to play one on my first playthrough. So far it's going well
>>3489339i don't think so. why are you trying to start shit with me? i didn't mean the question as an attack, i just wanted to know
>>3486981Are any of the mods (besides the plus patch) any good?
I played RPGs for 20+ years and I realized that RPG without life sim/survival elements is not a true RPG.
>>3488505I suppose he means they're rarely implemented in a manner he finds enjoyable
>steam>early access>procedually generated>open world survival craft>roguelike>soulslike>pixel art>single developerYep, it's indiesloppin' time.
>>3488580Good example, just building a well and having it hit the water table without dowsing or some other method is bad design.
>I played RPGs for 20+ years and I realized that RPG without life sim/survival elements is not a true RPGWELL then meet wayward, a true open world life sim/survival RPG game
>>3488821>waywardLooks like it's not what I have in my wishlist.
