Just picked up the Might & Magic series after playing through the old Bradley Wizardry games,they seem a little more "chaotic" combat seems to be random But I really dig these 80s sprites & MIDI soundfont really nice ambiance and amazing atmosphere,is it a dungeon crawlers or prototype RPG like daggerfall or morrowind?

>game is better than FFTI wasn’t expecting that. They took a lot of inspiration from Fire Emblem and in a good way.The story and overall gameplay is about as good as FFT while having actual strategy elements like in Fire Emblem.I hope they make another one like it.
>>3895010 (me)If this didn't work the entire choice to reveal his identity to Dragan's father wouldn't be there, which it's a necessary part of the true ending
>>3894966>No thats incorrect, this is just your own personal opinion because you personally care about this.If you want to be a close-minded fanboy that plugs their ears because they only want circlejerks that's your problem.>don’t state your opinions as factIf you do not reference things outside of these 3 nations, it means nothing outside of those nations exist and makes it less believable. If there is an entire world outside of these 3 nations you would have people, things or references to it. It can even add additional narrative weight like in Tactics Ogre where "what are the consequences of a Lodis backed nation should Bakram win" and so on.You're not refuting it with arguments or even open to the idea of this. You're in full blown denial and have the gall to accuse people of shit like >>3894953>I don’t think I would trust your opinion on anything gameplay or story related with such ridiculously vague points.When very clearly even IF someone laboriously explained and broke things down you would ignore all of it.>in b4 uh, that wasn't me!which wouldn't change anything, since you both would ignore it and is just here to shitpost and circejerk. If you're gonna show that level of disrespect to people you can fuck off.
>>3895019>you want to be a close-minded fanboyIronic. Speak for yourself anon. Your entire argument is that the games world feels small because there is only 3 nations mentioned. Yet one of the very first things mentioned in the story is that glenbrooks resources is the river because it establishes trade routes far and wide implying there is more to the world that those three places. If I am being frank, your entire argument is just a personal nitpick of yours and not even informed. Most game stories take place in a self contained area and if the game chooses to encompass a much larger continent then it makes each individual area feel smaller as a result. Its honestly ridiculous to even argue about this from a storytelling standpoint considering how many stories take place in even smaller settings like a small town but whats even more ridiculous is how your main criticism of a GAME is a SECTION of the storytelling that you’re not even well informed about. I am sure that if you love world building you collected and read all the war chronicle entrees right? So you can rightfully criticize it like you are?Normie niggers like yourself should have been gatekept from videogames.
I think the author tries way to hard to sound fancy when writing the dialogue which makes it sound almost pretentious but the story itself is pretty good in general.
>entire thread is just op fanboying calling everyone that doesn't agree with him stupid and wrongleddit is more your speed
I just started playing this with my friends after we beat BG3. I feel like I have a lot more freedom in combat in Divinity 2 than in BG3. It's really fun so far. Respeccing for free basically whenever you want seems too strong though.What did you think about this game? What's (are) your favourite build(s)? I'm currently playing a suicide bomber red prince. It's fun. I've only died twice so far.
>>3887105why is lonewolf busted?
>>3892835It’s pretty powerful. It eats a perk point, and caps your party size at max 2, but increases your AP by 50%, health by 30%, armor by 60%, and doubles your investments in stats and skills. You lose some action economy overall but get powerful and more flexible builds, since you can dip into more stats and skills than without it.I probably wouldn’t suggest it for a first playthrough, but good for a change of pace on a second.
trying out the divinity unleashed mod right now, so far it's pretty mediocre. the stat and skill bonuses for putting points into them is interesting, but the overall system changes seem kinda shitty.
Every time I try to play this I bounce off in an hour due to how all dialogue responses are framed in a bizarre, nonspecific *you feel retarded and so tell the magister that you can't do that task* manner.
>>3892969Just take always #2 and rush the dialogue?
Is the dialogue always this weak? Why do the characters feel the need to explain their every move?
>>3894884He is just a weird cringelord, same as the fox girl thing. At least that means more people go with spidergirl who’s more tolerable.Owlcat did what they could, but wotlk and the rest of paizo stuff is just fundamentally pozzed and, as you noted, hard to read at times. Paizos poorly presented ideological themes, and politically motivated ”inclusivity” garbage is constantly haunting the player throughout the game, offering the insightful commentary at the deapth of a sidewalk.It’s a good game despite this, just like Kingmaker is enjoyable despite its character cast. But that’s all owlcats work.
>>3894920>wotlk
wotr is what happens when you don't trim the fat on your dialogue and allow your women writers to just yap and yap and yap
Because they're written by bad writers, why else
>>3894906WotR actually has a lot of well-statted characters and good writing every now and then>Daeran is a based healslut dudebro>Regill does tons of damage and he's pretty good>Camellia is the best companion frontliner, has funny lines, blatantly a psychoSome people like Ember, Woljif, Arue and Lann are both good archers though Arue is better written and has better stats iirc. You can do full merc group if you want though I remember it being a bit of a price tax on your early game purchases.
Fuck Skyr*m
True!
>>3894994Not even an RPG. It's an action game with a subpar open world that is hard carried by the setting (mainly the castle).
You're gonna lose your mind when you play Ubisoft games then
Another game where you aren't a faggot student would be nice. Sure you kill hundreds of enemies and can use the unforgivable curses but it feels like this game was too lighthearted
>>3895122You barely even go to school.
As a first time player should i try the PSX or PSP version first?If PSX, should i tack a 'rebalance' patch first? (If so which one? so far i have found cerabow and laggyfantasytactics) i have heard the vanilla game is pretty easy to break correct me if wrong
>>3892217Is there a version of The Lion War that keeps the old TL but fixes the parts like this that are just outright wrong? Also >>3891287
>>3892278haha protestant apostasy go brrrrrrrrr
>>3892283What was wrong with the original tl? For years I’ve heard people say it made Ramza sound like he was gay for Delita but I just can’t see how someone could come to that conclusion from the wotl and ic tls.
>>3892278Is malak/monk viable?
Has anyone tried magic only? How to beat the knight in a duel as magic class?
>no RTWP>tone and vibe is completely different >gay>doesn't even play like a Baldur's Gate game
>>3895084>Larian literally went out of their way and called their product a direct continuation of this 20 year old RPG (that itself had save file imports). There is simply no excuse for this.This might have to do with the fact BG2 ends off (especially thanks to ToB) with your character being at an extremely high level, so it wouldn't be a good fit to have a new game built on a completely different system famous for its ease of access and grounded low level play to tart you off at the upper end range. Besides the sheer disparity between 5e and AD&D on a mechanical level, it's also worth noting that Baldur's Gate is filled with jank that is really no longer excusable in this day and age. A char gen that grants you infinite rerolls with non-weighted distribution is just bad design by itself, so imagine having to wrestle with the head ache of trying to convert that nonsense after 20+ years of experience.
>>3895144*to start you off
>>3895144Aren't they like level 8-10? That's what the team said during ea. They also said that the huge jumping distances are due to the tadpoles. This was all scrapped apparently.
>>3894969RTWP is ass. its either tedious or a pre-buff autobattler with no reactionary strategy.
>>3895167That's the end result, isn't it? Anything you can do with Rtwp can be done better with tb. I do prefer a switch though.

I loved FF7 and FF8, but Kefka, unlike temper tantrum Sephiroth, was the equivalent of Batman's Joker becoming a God, sadistic freak who can make almost anything he wishes happen to the whole planet at will, could make a terrasque piss himself on the spot, and could burn whole cities with a laser called the light of judgement.
there's worse written badguys in the franchise like this fuck that SE had no idea what they were doing
>>3894546Pretty much, but he's a good Saturday Morning cartoon villain. That laugh alone does a lot of work.
>>3894482>was the equivalent of Batman's Joker becoming a God,Oh, Joker was a way more effective god than Kefka ever was. All that clown ever did was burn and destroy, reduce everything down to flaming smolders without so much as a knock knock and I have to ask "where's the fun in that?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gu5QmhnRo94
>>3894546That's a completely fine way to handle a villain and if anything that should be the default antagonist
>>3894825>I did what the gods wanted me to do and they shunned me anyway>I'll get pissed at my brother over this and hatch a thousand year long plan to end my own family line instead of directing any anger at the gods for being asshats
Recommend some RPGs that don't fit in the following thematic categories:>medieval fantasy>cyberpunk dystopia>post-apocalyptic wasteland>quirky earthbound-like
>>3892349Pillars of Eternity.
>>3894805Medieval fantasy
>>3894772>Horizon's GateThat's exploration fantasy and that's medieval fantasy
>>3894892I generally think of settings with handheld firearms as not being medieval, but apparently there is ~50 year overlap between their appearance in Europe and what's considered the Middle Ages, so I guess I'm wrong this time.
>>3894891It isn't. It's age of sail fantasy.
The gameplay is fun but holy shit the graphics for xillia are horrible. It feels like this game has zero art direction and is just a bunch of soulless assets strewn across a flat plane. The towns, outside of the first one, are absolutely atrocious. And Sakuraba literally lifted samples from his other works and copy pasted them for this game's soundtrack. It just feels so low effort.It's really weird just how much better vesperia looks than arise, berseria, zestiria, and especially xillia. Why won't namco reuse the vesperia engine I just don't get it? The one they went with for xillia and after is eye cancer.Fuck I honestly think abyss looks better than xillia. There is not a single area in xillia that looks better than this.
>>3894860I disagree because I don't give a fuck about the story and PS3 was a gameplay improvement

I really enjoyed the first one. Of course /pol/ seems to tear it a new asshole, but the critics rated it high. Did you enjoy it? Does it live up to its predecessor?
>>3894277Yes, it's much better.
>>3889793>TrotskyTrosky, anon. It means "ruins/debris" nowadays, something else in the past. Not debris/ruin of the russian sorts.
>>3889835>CROSSBOW no lesswhat else would a woman carry out of the available options, idiot? Long bow?
>>3894277I liked combat in KCD1. The key is to develop both your skill as the player and Henry's combat skills. The second being the part where moves get better timing, accuracy and power. Once you're maxed out, you can steamroll anyone.
>>3895129A baby, retard.
>anons data-mining Midnight expansion>post the entire script, all the spoilers>Sunwell becomes the Darkwell that becomes the Dawnwell with a rainbow colors effect after being "healed">*Blizzard forgot about WC3's Elf Priest*This is why He didn't appear in Shadowlands.He was / is too based for current WoW.
>>3886235They gave him a backstory to explain why he hates elves but the funny thing is that you don't even need that kind of nonsense to justify Garithos' orders to Kael'Thas and the High Elves with him. The High Elves left the Alliance twice before Warcraft III and the character of Garithos even existed, them leaving the third time under Garithos was just collecting the hat trick. They were fickle and unreliable allies at best, and honestly seemed to only be interested in the whole "Alliance" thing so long as it meant spending human lives to protect Quel Thalas, not the other way around. Garithos was completely justified in mistrusting them as unreliable allies and thus giving them unimportant but still necessary work (he sends Kael'thas to secure his flanks while his human and reliable dwarven allied forces do the main fighting).So yeah, he was a huge racist prick, but given how shitty the elves were as allies, it was hard to castigate him not giving them important taskings.
>>3894290If that was where his racism began and ended, Garithos would rightfully be called based and the last hope of humanity in Lordaeron. He'd be like a racist detective from those noir movies, who still gets the job done despite his prejudices.But he also sent the elves on a suicide mission, and then decided they all need to be executed to the man when they've actually managed to succeed by getting outside help.
>>3894294Also he was right in that they couldn't be trusted because the second they leave him, they ally with someone working for the Burning Legion.
>>3894852Agreed. No decent man would ever ally with demons. Not even temporarily. There are lines you can not cross.
>>3894852>>3895115>Nooo your whole race should go extinct for the sake of the heckin' LighterinoGlad Cuckithos ended up food for zombies in the city he was designated to protect with his life.
Every day is /mon/day, so let's talk about monster collecting and raising games!We had a nice thread last time, so let's keep this going >>3764902What are you playing? And what are you looking forward to?
>>3895136I don't think Dark Prince is bad personally, but it's one of those games that's good on it's own, but feels more luckluster compared to older games.
>>3895136>I'm bad at namesI think you're not, unless that was random and you weren't making a reference to the 40 year old virgin movie.
>>3895137Oh Fuck I forgot how difficulty it was to make the robots, I think it took forever to get the uberkilling machine.
>>3895136You can just take a monster with the skills you want and fuse it with one of the monsters you like, and just create another of that liked monster that has that skill. You might have to make some fusion fodder for several of them though.
>>3895141It was a joke about boobs feeling like bags of sand, yeah, but I'm not sure if the film came first or not. All of my names are either puns, references or names of characters like Botan from Clannad.
Just finished Infection after killing the final boss, bonus boss, and moving my save to the 2nd game(Mutation). As the first game in the series, it immerses you into its story and world with its early 2000s Internet interface menus and message boards taking you along for the ride through it combat mechanics, leveling, story characters you meet long the way and party gearing. There's alot of bad I can talk about like the constant menuing in later parts of the game, the empty overworld, the lack of difficulty, but as for the first game in the series I think I can look past those things for what the devs were going for .What do you think of the first game and others in the series?
>>3894951>A lot of gear start to have negative stats it gets worse as you level until you find the cool rares without the negative stats on weapons,alot of armor will still have negatives to balance out the gear stats stacking, it's supposed to contrast with monsters you fight onward to round out your party's abilities, which get really strong even if you are like 15 levels ahead , they find exploits in your defenses.
>>3870897OP here, well it's over, all the phases are dead, everyone is out of a coma and all the 4 games are beat. I really had fun even with the negatives through out my 105 or so hours and I still have post game content to see. Really wish they made the game into anime to restart interest in the series again, compared to .hack//sign. this story is pretty high stakes and scale, sign// by comparison is a small story within "The World" that could have happened to anyone that was going through the coma cases through the game, but I’m glad //Sign exists as well as the OVAs putting light of what was going on outside that.For those playing through the games,The last Phases is tough but just stock up items,he will drain you of your items more than any other boss before,not that the boss is difficult its just his attack takes chuck of your HP jumping around the arena,drain you of all your SP and HP by picking a party member out and nukes the field often but deosnt have any werid mechanics like other other Phases.
