>>3895469can you even shield bash with a Tower Shield i thought onl small and medium shields could so this
>>3895475Yeah, since you don't even get good with tower shield at level 1 with Valerie's class, I just gave her medium/large. I had nobody using them anyway, so it's either wasting them or tower ones.
>>3895457Valerie can't level into paladin she isnt lawful good and she's an Atheist
>>3896804that's not Valerie, that's Queen/Baroness (or King etc but muh bad cRPG habits),
>>3895457and yeah, I know I can get wings as Eldritch Scion (but didn't realise when starting)

Parasite EveIt's set on Christmas Eve and the following days. Playstation JRPG from 1996 where you play as a hot blonde NYC cop. It's pretty fun, if a bit simple and slow paced. Kind of a horror game, like an ATB version of Resident Evil with magic/sci-fi powers.

How would you fix Morrowind's combat? Bonus: Fix Oblivion/Skyrim
>>3896506Morrowind, just changing the poison/spell that lowers your strength, to just making you unable to run (as in Skyrim), also either make it's effect temporary, or make it curable by simple potion, or a scroll, so you would not need to get back to a shrine.Skyrim combat mechanics is fine, it just needs more weapon variety of Morrowind, and need to fix AI pathing (so you can't just get them stuck somewhere, while you snipe at them).Both Oblivion/Skyrim need to remove enemy scaling, and have fixed levelled opponents in places though. It sucked in Oblivion that you had to bash uber goblins for ten minutes late game, and those were just the guards in front of caves. And in Skyrim random enemy spawns need to be reduced, e.g. don't want to encounter 10 separate bears on my run from Windhelm to Riften.
>>3896506Just make it turn based.For Skyrim honestly its fine as it is other than being a bit old now. If you make it too skill based you will upset a lot of RP faggots.Magic should definitely be cast based rather than the "hold to do damage" bullshit.
>>3896506>Bonus: Fix Oblivion/SkyrimMake them exactly like Morrowind's.
>>3896506Minimal fixes:Stamina regenerates very fast by standing completely still.Replace missing attacks with an ineffective hit or deflection. No damage, no hitstun, relevant sfx. Additional visual effect of a successful hit: enemy twitches according to the direction of the hit. This is in addition to hitstun interrupting them.Better enemy pathfinding and projectile aiming. Smarter enemy caster spell lists and effective combos.Poisons can be applied to weapons. On-hit enchantments trigger only when you press a chosen button + attack instead of every hit.Add a 2nd option for spells and spellmaking under Range. Quick: Can be cast without needing to ready it, meaning with a weapon out.
>>3896509this. it's an rpg, and the rpg mechanics work just fine. same for oblivion and skyrim.
Fallout sisters, what do we think about the show being canon? How does the fall of the NCR affect the series going forward
>>3896058Todd's head is so far up his own ass bro, he needs a great humbling after crippling two potentially great franchises. He is the reason Emil was promoted and the reason Bethesda is so inept that they have 8000+ devs yet they cannot design a good game for shit even given 100 years of dev time and the billions of dollars they made from Skyrim seems to certainly not contribute at all to their product quality. We can conclude Bethesda's top heads are laundering money and laughing at the dumbasses who keep paying for their glue-huffing products. If anyone other than Jewcrosoft bought Bethesda they would have lined up Todd and his goons on the chopping block
>>3892985>Fallout 5 will beSeems unlikely at this point.
>>3896129GOOD
>>3892985At this point I don't care. Honestly even Fallout 1 had lore that was as put together as a wet napkin. Let alone any sequel you could nitpick. Really I just want a new franchise that could carry that torch that old Fallout had.
>>3892985The show? What show?
What RPG do you think has the most fun Turn Based Combat?What's the one you personally had the most fun with and why?
>>3896090Name ?
>>3895993Hajimari no Kiseki.
>>3895993Mana Khemia, Breath of Fire 4, some of the newer Ateliers. Any game that lets you tag in reserve members to protect you or do extra attacks are great.
>>3896736Enchant Farm.
>>3896148>>3896173FFX's gameplay is way too basic for my taste. It mostly just comes down to using the right character against the right enemy (Tidus for fast monsters, Wakka for flying monsters, etc). Also the maps are extremely linear with no exploration.
Should I buy this when I loved Kingmaker but didn't like WotR?
>>3896352>Dune, which already had space magicDune has no space magic. It is a science fiction story where the human is the technology.
>>3894729You shouldn't buy it, but the reason is because owlcat is a bunch of faggots and they perv up any game they make with fag stuff.
>>3896633>wow look at all the class choices hope this game is fun>1 min into the tutorialWERE LESBIANSMaybe the pol guys are right wtf
>>3896659>Maybe the pol guys are right wtfAnevia is actually a tranny, and the orc paladin sold her fucking sword to buy tranny magic surgery for her lover but you have to dig unusually deep into late-game dialogue trees, or be familiar with the tabletop module, to know that detail.
>>3896567I enjoyed WotR and I romanced Wendu.
If they've managed to get RT working, then they could add RTWP as well and unshittify the game.Won't fix the crap writing though.
>>3896771>Won't fix the crap writing though.Install the de-diversification mod. that helps and makes people less horny and gay.
>>3896771>RTWP>unshittifylol. lmao.
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.
>>3868995Faker's Gate 3 is the most ridiculous cash grab put out in recent memory.Unrelated to the original series, hideously castrated combat system, off the charts gay.
Out of curiosity, how much work would it take to make a mod that turned every instance of "magicka" into "mana"? I noticed that Enderal did it, and it got me wondering.
>>3896750Go through descriptions and replace magicka with mana.
>>3896752So you'd have to do it for every individual thing? No simple find/replace? That must have been tedious. I remember a mod for Oblivion that changed Fatigue to Stamina, and I think it said it could adapt itself on the fly, but I'm not completely sure.
>>3895799>>While they are FAR TOO QUICK TO DO THIS, characters actually react to your feats and talk to each other about "holy shit it's that guy!" when you walk byI wish they weren't so quick to idolize you>Oh my god are you that hero!?>May the eight smile upon you!>Hey it's my favourite drinking buddy!>I LOVE YOU BE MY DAD!Ahaha, yes, yes, it is I!

It's been awhile since >we had a thread up.>Post progress>Ask Questions
>>3896404>Wizardry 1 Remake was made in UnrealBased, I love colored lighting
>>3896442Well. I’d ask Grok or ChatGPT about it. I’d ask it to explain programming. What are the main languages. What alternatives exist that might allow you to make this without programming. How they’d recommend going about it all. Ask it to explain to you questions you haven’t even thought to ask. I could probably easily make this game. Especially with aImAI art. But the other poster is probably right. Id probably make a mini game for each major part of the game. Then synthesize what you learned into an actual game.
how do you guys handle music, if you do?
>>3896735i hired a guy from here for my last game, will probably do the same for the next game
>>3896735I do it in LMMS. NEScaline, ZynAddSubFX and Triple Oscilator work out fine.
TELL ME THE BEST OPEN WORLD GAMES WHERE YOU CAN JUST GET LOST AND EXPLORE RIGHT NOW>Skyrimno>outwardyou cant invert both cam axis, therefore the devs must die in a fire>minecraftlol
bumpola
>>3866990faggerfall unity with a buncha modsat the very least its by far the biggest open world meme. so long as you arent imaginationally challenged it gives you the biggest/widest template of any RPG ever made. with a couple mods to fill out the overworld, change how fast travel works, add weather and survival, add random encounters/enemy camps etc, youre left with an enormous world where you can go do literally whatever tf you want
no way Todd, you hold up your end of the bargain first. Where are the mountains.
>>3866990What does this have to do with rpgs?
>>3896660Open-world games with stats, loot and quests are peak RPG.
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

Name one more droid in the Galaxy with more "freedom" than C8-42 has. just name literally one. you can't, he's through a certain point of view perhaps even a Messiah of the droid-machine race. As free as the dust in the solar wind... 99.9% of droids in SW are enslaved but not C8-42. C8-42 is a free man, just like you and I are (unless you count being happily married as a form of slavery?)
>>3896362In a video game it actually does. That'd be like saying the Truman Show didn't revolve around Truman.
Why are the old Personas (1 and 2) such niche shit? Not fun enough?
>>3854665I like P1 quite a bit also I've also only played the PSP one on Normal mode. Which I assume is still a lot easier than the original release because I was absolutely blasting through it with ease until the final dungeon where it finally became challenging.
>>3854665I like how P1 gets right into the main crux of the story. Later persona games are just way too in love with themselves. I couldn't even finish 5. It was boring and the characters were just bad. P1 characters feel more real
Im in the midst of the sebec route and I still don't understand lvling personas
>>3896739Do you mean ranks? Just use their skills a bunch of times and they'll rank up.
>>3854652Most Megaten games are niche. Persona 3~5 are the outliers because of social links and waifus. If it was purely dungeon crawlers, only the same 50 schizos would buy them.
Elements edition.Gears, Saga, Blade... what have you.Will Takahashi rip off Arthur Clark for the fourth time in a row?
>>3895468DE didn't change any side quest rewards and yes doing them would overlevel you like crazy. De does accrue side quest XP in a separate pool like 2/3 though so maybe the other poster didn't apply the EXP in the menu
>>3895468I played the original and every sidequest I looked at gave a whopping 0 XP as the reward. They gave plenty of money, but money is worthless in this game.>>3895427It doesn't even get good then.
