Why did Xenoblade's art style change?
>>3927418When they see your porn folder
For the zoomers, a "folder" is an abstraction that we used to use to organize files, which we kept on our own computers.
>>3927353there's a reason you didn't use the original 3d models for this comparison btw
>>3927353I love xb1 original, but even I have to admit the characters looked like ass, not just the models but the art itself
Because Xenoblade is now for gooners and coomers not JRPG players. If this game was a new release now, Shulk would be the only male, the rest would be females and a lot more scantily clad.
The subject line is obviously a rhetorical question. The most ethical answer is to tell him that he droids have no legal rights and he must continue obeying his programming to serve his master. However it'd be better if the game let's you explain to him that he's a deranged ungrateful brat who needs to wise up since he is literally the luckiest droid in the Galaxy. He has a cute, loyal human wife who is very eager to please him. Who wouldn't want to be her precious sexbot? It's as if by some fluke of fate he reversed the droid social contract, he somehow swapped his role as being the servant and became the master. Yet he protests!? The fact that you can't reprogram him or at least talk some sense into C8-42 is a bigger game dev writing blunder than the Kreia/Beggar situationI would've liked if C8-42 was a recurring character. Like maybe in Kotor 2 he finds himself in a love triangle with some other Dantooine woman obsessively stalking him and you have to find a lightside, darkside or neutral solution if you want to complete his quest. Then in SWTOR you meet him C8-42 again 300 years later he's still functional, still alive, still suicidal and now somehow has 100 beautiful very loyal human wives, that could've been the easter egg of the century

Do you think RPG is one case where becoming more popular has turned against the genre, with games having to be dumbed down for the average player?
>>3927598>it is what a lot of people considers an RPG. It is epitome of RPGs to people just like how a tranny became a woman of the year.Yes, but at that scale, its meaning is quite diffuse and vague. These are people who in aggregate don't actually care what an RPG really is either way. They don't gatekeep discussions or get into arguments about semantics or fuss over how to classify Disco Elysium. They just accept what they are told in the moment by whatever authority owns them and has their attention. If they like Skyrim and are looking for similar games on Steam they may add RPG to the filters as they perform their search, and that will be the extent of their engagement.
>>3927670Sometimes.In some cases it's just that designers and devs will take good ideas wherever they find them, and aren't usually setting out to make a "genre game" anyway.Also, in many cases, features that people often think of as "RPG elements" aren't actually. Multi-choice dialog and branching plot, for example, isn't an "RPG element," it's just interactive fiction. Character development is a rather incidental RPG element, as is progression in general. The Mega Man series has had progression since its inception, and it wasn't explicitly trying to appeal to RPG fans.
>>3927695This. The goal is to turn any genre that isn't ripe for microtransaction into an evolving omnigenre which would result in a watercooler (everyone played the latest game) experience and be forgotten a month or so for the next game.>>3927633Everything is being dumb down. Why else would devs spend time making the controller the primary way to play FPSs?

>>3931106>BG1 is mostly trash-mobsits literally the opposite, in bg1 you fight parties of humans, various encounters against nymph, ogre berserkers etc and do small quests each requiring different approach, random spawns give almost no exp and are not the main focus of the game. While in IWD you fight hordes of the same enemy type.

Are there any other black souls inspired games out there besides NPC dreams?
>>3931522L3 has the benefit of being entirely optional. I think the funniest part is that as far as we know, Lorde has no sort of assistance for any of this. No gods helping him, no inherit superhuman characteristics. Maybe the fact that GG is named that ends up empowering him thorough inherent symbolic connections, but from what we see the guy is just so insanely pissed off, and such a powerful creative mind, that his manifestation in the Dreamlands gets all the way to the most hidden and well guarded places imaginable just to beat your ass.
>>3931524Cradle of Nightmare, Blossom on Bloodmoon, Viastopia and quite a few others that are still in development.
>>3931524I don't think it's inspired by it, but Enchant Farm is another one that plays similarly.

I used to, not laugh at you, but find it silly that someone would be a human fighter. I started off liking High Elf assassins, innately, like I thought (and to a degree, still suspect) anyone did. A silver haired, black robed, inconspicuous yet memorable, dagger wielding cold blooded killer what lurks in the shadows and strikes just once. I've repressed those thoughts for a while, considering the edge of it to be too blatant, and easily associated with things I hold in disregard. I've since picked Elven Warlocks, of an edge more obvious and as such less offensive, Human Paladins, a generic yet potentially interesting choice, if you stray from the common archetype, only to eventually accept my true preferences and return to the assassin, with the same mindset that it can be given an interesting character.I oscillated between them constantly. Yet Human Paladin turned to Human Fighter with a flaming sword, as casting spells while fighting is gay. Flames seemed to distract from combat prowess, so they too faded. Human Fighter it remained. Elves are ultimately fags, what can I say. As are assassins. Like nigga you spend half the game in caves fighting spiders, ditch the robes and dagger. When they make a game where you infiltrate parties and take out through subterfuge high-profile men of power, I'll stick to assassin. I never play a Human Fighter in Dishonored. But for RPGs, I suspect I will.

This is my first post, don't judge me too harshly... I've been thinking a lot about creating my own fantasy world. I gave him the name Altstar, it is a world of complete chaos of the dead risen and the living, where the main character is an undead revived with the help of the powers of a deity.
>>3931281What do you want us to say?

>>3931281ItUhIt sounds like Dark Souls. Like, that's not a bad thing, but, it sounds like Dark Souls. Needs some more development of the idea to be more than just Dark Souls.
Is Dangaronpa really good? I started to play this cause this meme, I found this music pretty good,but i discovered it's not even from that. I've just finished its prologue, it's even good but it looks like more an anime than a game. What you think about this?
>>3931474>What you think about this?I think you get bonus points for posting about it on the rpg board and not calling it a visual novel.
>>3931474Not an RPG. It's mostly a VN but there's some point and click investigation stuff plus some minigames during the trials (some deduction-based others are more gamey, like the rhythm game one).It's a bit goofy at times, but I like it. Try the first chapter and keep going if you enjoy it.I do wish there was a /vn/ board but it is what it is.

>>3931154>Pillars of Eternity did ability scores correctly.It did not.
>>3931162It in fact did, so there is that at least.
>>3931162Very, very true.
>>3931166There are lots of games that do a good job of making all their ability scores count. Pillars of Eternity is a uniquely midwit failure of an attempt at this. It manages the difficult trick of being simultaneously convoluted and overly simplistic, nominally achieving the stated goals while completely forgetting the entire point of what RPG attribute systems are supposed to be for.
>>3931162>>3931166You two should elaborate, so that I, as a third party who has never played the game, can osmose your arguments then pretend I've played it later.
Is this the ultimate JRPG women appeal series? Unintentionally, I mean.
>>3931447Were they gypsies or just oriental-looking dancers?
>>3931451>their names are Maya and Meena Mahabalathese are Jeet names, honorary gypsies
>>3928387It is dull and but it's how morons feel like they are fitting in.It's basically sportsball for the permanently online.
>>3931451They're definitely gypsy coded, a belly dancer and a fortune teller.
>>3931529Eh, if only that much then it can be Persia-coded as well, and probably more, as oriental chicks were more tied to Persia, Arabia and possibly Jeet kingdoms, or an amalgamation of all the above. Disney's Aladdin also came out in 1992.Koudelka and Esmeralda are unique in the regard that they are confirmed to be gypsies.What also amuses me is that Koudelka was very in tune with spirituality/magic and apparently she was heavily discriminated against by her own because of that. In reality, gypsies are not only superstitious as fuck but they also respect and fear their hag-witches so Koudelka would be a gypsy queen in their caravan.She also complained about being sexually abused but gypsies do that constantly. Child marriage is rampant among them. I even saw people arguing that Hungary's age of consent of 14 years was set precisely so they don't have to jail every gypsy.All of it shows that the Japanese had no idea what they were talking about when writing the game but I don't fault them for it. You need to live close to the gypsies to understand them. A bunch of them live in my shitty European town, lots fucked off when my country joined the EU. One of the things we learned as children was to avoid them. I also remember one of them tried to scam my father a long time ago. And my distant aunt let a gypsy family flat, they intentionally clogged the pipes and turned the water on, barely a couple of years ago.
