>>4102864>Whom belongs that little skull behind Sam to?Tickle or Marc-Andre I'd assume, not Rat Child since it's a round skull, they have a full party, and at this point it'd be too late in the game for him to still be the Rat Baby Thing inventory item.

>>4099684Temple+ is bug fixes with extra features, best you can do without trying to find one of the really old versions of circle of eight before they started adding new content.
>>4102583Yes, I think Temple+ was what I was looking for, but didn’t know about it at the time. I think what I settled for was using the Co8 launcher but not either “content module” to play the vanilla game with some bug fixes.
>>4102523>3rd ed game that attempted to faithfully implement 3rd ed rules with turn based combatit's really an excellent game when you want to experience exactly this, the quests and writing could have been better but ultimately it's a mechanical dungeon crawler and it's excellent at that
>>4102269For Earth Temple:>The first condition is killing another faction leader.>The second condition is defiling the Earth Altar, or killing the Troop Commander next door to Romag. The first has a 1 hour timer, and the latter will cause an immediate regroup (immediate meaning there is no timer at all, the first map change or camping in the Temple will trigger it).>Aside from those, killing enough monsters or troops on Level 1 will cause the regroup. This is divided into three subgroups: Human soldiers, non-human soldiers, and non-affiliated monsters (these are mostly the creatures who will attack you even if you wear the brown robes). Let's call them groups A, B and C respectively.>The formula for triggering the regroup is:>(number of dead from A / 13)^3 + (number of dead from B / 38)^3 + (...C / 75)^3 >= 1>This means that there are three separate thresholds for each group (13, 38, and 75 respectively) which when individually crossed will trigger a regroup.>However, it's also possible to trigger the regroup by killing some of group B and some of group C, according to the formula. e.g. if you kill about 80% of each of those thresholds the regroup will trigger.
>>4102758interesting, I think I cleared the upper level so that would be why
Is this basically the ultimate game for building a tight-knit band of mercenaries and having a rather large world to explore with or build a base in? I assume something like that isn't possible in m&b with mods. Only other game I've done it in was rimworld but exploration is basically non-existent in it even with mods.
>>4099123Yes. You will not regret it.
My current main base/faction's so well established that I just let them run on their own and started a new "run" with some fresh recruits elsewhere so they can start from scratch. Sure they have infinite money but I'm not abusing that privilege.
>>4101037Based and same. I wish there was a "NG+" mod that allows you to make a different faction.
>>4099381I was asking cause it's a shame there's really no other game like it, and I have a feeling there'll never be another game that has all of these features in one package.
>AD&D handbook comes out in 1978>Pool of Radiance comes out in 1988>dwarves, gnomes, elves and halflings can't be clerics>gnomes can't be illusionistsWhat the fuck? I knew about the demi-human level restrictions but I've never seen a version of D&D where everyone except Humans, Elves, and Half-Elves can only be fighters and thieves. Is it worth it to play these games with the Gold Box companion mod to get around some of these stupid rules?

>>4077834The thing is, nerds are attracted to unwarranted complexity. Back when RPGs were a niche nerd hobby, this was a selling point for AD&D.

Playing The Witcher 1 right now for the first time. I've recently just finished the book series, and I had only played 3 and was my intro to the franchise.Planning on doing the entire series, and DLCs since I never played them.So far I just started Chapter 2. It's kinda ehhhh. Combat I enjoyed at the beginning but now the endless spawning and tracking of enemies just makes it irritating. Inventory system is retarded too.My biggest complaints so far, barring combat: Too much back-tracking, and I hate sometimes you leave dialouge for no reason after clicking a "non-ending" option.Also, are the sidequests worth it? So far its just fluff for money and XP I dont really need.
>>4102649I do have to say, I agree with anon >>4098002The atmosphere is great, and I really loved the graphics (animation non-withstanding)
>>4102649>are the sidequests worth it?If you enjoy the gameplay, then yes.If you don't, then why play the game at all?
>>4102292For me, it's Old Vizima.
Keep thinking about revisit this one. I remember it being quite neat but it has been years.
>>4084691The huge lips are all over the original PC version, but the Playstation version only has lips on the one black guy in the game.
I never really hear of people talking about Jade Cocoon, though I'm sure many played it.I'm sure people played it but I might be the only person that liked Alundra 2.
>>4075839The music and unique classes kept me hooked. The story is extremely anime, but the combat is fun to experiment with, without being grindy.
>>4088545man I love the yugioh player class in thatI enjoy the in battle animations for all the classes really, I wish more dungeon crawler games did stuff like that
>>4075839>DispelA clone of Diablo 1/2, hardly anything to add here.I don't think it had any mainstream release in Europe, one of computer press magazines added a localized full version to the Christmas issue in 2001.It had some cool CD Audio tracks.
It's Monday once again. What monster collecting or monster raising games have you been playing? What upcoming ones are you looking forward to?

Lumentale devs seem oddly silent, disappointing since I did decently enjoy the demo but thought it needed a few reworks here and there.
>>4100732I thought the demo was mediocre as fuck.

Hello /vrpg/, time draws close for another divegrass cup, and so there's an opportunity to look over the team and make changes. So, what represents the board and what doesn't, what would be fun to see on the pitch, and any other potential changes (You) want to see? Updated visuals or anthems/goal horns are some of the things that could be changed, along with player changes. Any suggestions are very welcome.
>>4093429No, currently there is no Artix rep in the team, feel free to post one, will be putting up a poll during the week.
>>4095109Probably Frogzard then, would be the best and most iconic.Also>>4086838My suggestions for Geralt.
No poll yet?
>>4102290>No poll yet?Wrong board
>>4102290Poll will be posted sometime on sunday most likely.
Playing for the first time, seems like it's just the right time considering irl geopolitics. Rolled George Floyd as my handler on the first mission, wish me luck
You have now experienced peak Obsidian. It’s all downhill from here.
>>4102526it's one of the few obsidian games I haven't played before, so far it's fun in an "austin powers simulator" kind of way
>>4102273I loved this game, beat it three times. Looking at the state of Obsidian I think it's safe to say it'll remain a unique game that's magic will never be repeated.
>>4102727I can't put it down, it's legitimately good, I started as a Recruit and will probably replay it as Veteran
How fares thee campaigns?Wrapping up ch 3 Lawful on a new run and just finished my dragon collection. Fucked up and read the warren report at the wrong time and missed Ravness, so gonna have to chariot back there before moving onto Chaotic(even if she is a filthy Galgastani). Just doing a casual run through, no no-incaps or anything. Fun stuff.Did get a zombie earth dragon, which sounds like a neat idea... but Im just not a fan of non-human units (Canopus gets a pass, honorary personhood) How is the new FFT? Really interested in it since I love the voice acting in Reborn, but I can just whip out my ps1 if I feel like playing it.
>>4102456>You're basically paying for a voice pack.Im okay with that.
>natural DoctrineShe dead :/
>>4102559Natural Doctrine had flaws, but goddamn did it expose how many were casuals. Doubly so among the journos who hated it.
>>4102574I like it. Clunky isn't a problem, it's that linking system is wonky: having unlimited queens spawning with firststrike, triple hit (each hit is game over if not dodge or miss). I see ND as exiled crown prince of tactics. Very good game.>>4102343Chaos wars of chaos generation?>>4102468Uglier, too imo. Then again, the original is included.>new tacticsIs there something available that's under the radar?
>>4102574Wait a minute, did I fuck up? ND isn't a game where eaten people come back form the dead, is it? Did I miss a quest?

So these people were migrating to another world on a colony ship. To power that ship, they compressed their planet into a "quasar". Instead of calling it "The Engine Room" they call it "The Placenta"

>>4101944>>4101973>>4101824Garbage summary from someone who didn't play Ciel nosurge and is making up stupid etimologies for things they don't understand
We could say the localization butchered the whole "Dimensional Axis" thing. But the fact is, while they talk about "Oversight", and how Nero and Ion are supposed to have it, and perform an "Axis Shift", we don't actually see it. So there's nothing to understand. The concept itself is carried over from the canceled Chronos Materia game. Which was more of an Atelier game for the PSVita, practically Atelier Iris 4 if we're being honest. Gust was marketing it as a new IP that was (allegedly) comparable to Radiant Historia.I think the Atelier games set in "Arland" came very close to connecting to the Ar Tonelico universe. Especially after Lulua. But it was like they swerved at the last minute to avoid a collision and crashed into a ditch. Instead of Ra Ciela tech, they branded it "Galaxen".Instead of "Administrators" they went with "Operators"
