What do you think about this?
>>4142999I enjoyed it, but I also felt a bit burned out on it by the end.>>4143229Wouldn't tryhards be championing a difficult game instead of a casual action-RPG?
Really good. Too bad it's got modern bloat. Tighten it up a bit and it's the GOAT.
Great game with too much asset reuse. How many times do you fight the same gargoyles in the same ruins? Pretty sure they're in every single zone in the game, including the DLC.
>>4142999The best ARPG. A very mediocre RPG.

tl;dr I'm remastering NWN2 OC and MotB from scratch.Not sure that it's the right place to post, but what the hell.I thought that NWN2:EE was lacklustre. It hardly fixed anything except for maybe Multiplayer and a few bugs. This doesn't look like $30 worth of work.Then I started wondering: what would an actual decent remaster look like?My first thought was using my modpack I created and debugged back in the day: better UI, custom portraits, better character sheet, better inventory, better companion AI, a bit of a facelift when it comes to textures and so on.But that clearly isn't enough.The big part of NWN2 is the original campaign, but it's buggy as hell and has a lot of cut content.IMO the absolute minimum for the remaster is to fix all of the known bugs in the OC. And it wasn't done.The next step is to fix some of the glaring campaign issues that are technically not bugs: for example, some of the influence gates are impossible to clear without the debug menu and your companion dialogue tree is static: you can ask one of your companions "Who are you?" in the final dungeon.Then the AI should be reworked. In fact, there is a must-have AI mod that does just that: your companions and your enemies are no longer dumber than bricks and you have a DA:O-like tactical menu for fine-tuning your companions.It should've been integrated into the main game, but alas.Add all that and I see myself paying $30.Comment too long.

>>4143522>>4143533https://nwn2reassembled.fyi/#downloadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NulQhS6IpNcbut that's still that needs to be properly play-tested, which is very far-off.I cannot ever recommend using it as it is right now.
>>4143508Are you saying you'll be finished with a remaster in like 80h or so? This means gen8 ai will bury gaming studios, good, fuck them. Imbeciles.
>>4143508You are going to end up like Cleve Blakemoore "polishing" his Grimoire in 2014.>only 123 issues and 4134 microissues left!
>>4143730>like 80h or solol. lmao.My optimistic estimate is two months *before* fixing the engine.I only posted a fraction of the bugs. The main issue is robust automation, and it's hard.Also keep in mind that a lot of work was done for me by the community, I just compiled the data.>>4143756Could be. Again, the worst case scenario is that nothing comes of it.
>>4143820That makes much more sense
BioWare is no more.
>>4143654>>4143677Pretty much. Still, it's nice to imagina that MEU would have turned out to be a decent game.>>4143679Oh, don't get me wrong, I agree with the posts you've linked (and realize that whoever wrote those posted the screenshot before me).
ENOUGH. No more stupid fingerpointing. This is the REAL reason why BioWare was shut down. Late stage capitalism. It had nothing to do with the games being "woke". Check your privileges, chuds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUTPl-4KOawThe evil managers are behind it all, the '''wokest''' Dragon Age game (none of y'all can even define what '''woke''' is btw) was the BEST SELLING Dragon Age game ever.
>>4143697Bioware is no more because Allah wills it
>>4143647>... He's gonna start his own FrostGiant, with children, and lentils.
>>4143697>Late stageThese kinds of predictive phrases, similar with "right side of history" show how irrational Marxists are. It's really sad to be so convinced you can understand the future based on the present as seen through hindsight.
What purpose does it serve? It has an extremely bland setting, an awful engine graphic and art style, mediocre writing, weird map design, iffy combat, and itbis crammed with absolutely awful crowdfunding shit.Why did the team even waste their time, was it just a scam to make a salary?
>>4128875There is way too much annoying pointless bullshit filler. Filler fights, filler quests, filler classes, filler abilities, gear, filler characters, filler mechanics, filler dialogues, filler plot points. I overall enjoy Owlcat games, but there's definitely a reason for why so many people use "bloat" as their defining characteristic. PoE is deeply flawed, but Obsidian guys did understand that sometimes the work becomes better by removing unnecessary parts. Owlcats see an unfun, pointless, annoying element in their games, and to fix it they bury it in 16 to 25 additional unfun, pointless, annoying elements.
>>4129986You should see what the muh balance autists are doing in wow forever right now, lol.>we're taking risks! (aka blue elves that absolutely no one in the classic+ communities asked for but will sell skins and mounts)>omg racials are 1% in favor of humans better nerf nerf nerf nerf can't take that risk
The combat was pretty bad which is realistically the main reason i couldnt stand it but the writing was beyond reddity and something i had to skip through most of the time. Millennials for whatever reason are abysmal at writing RPGs and always turn it into a weird multi user dungeon esque roleplay fap session

Well the time has come yet again, another Babby Cup and /vrpg/ is up against /vr/ in a little over two hours! The squad has made some class changes and grinded out a few levels from last time, and here's hoping they make an impact.Surely, /vrpg/ can rise to elite this time!
>>4143605Soccer is gay.
Our match is coming up after this /fitlit/ showdown, facing /vr/! Come join us, shitpost for free and enjoy some virtual autism here: https://implyingrigged.info/wiki/Main_Page>>4143605That's the price of participation I'm afraid.
At least it was a draw there in the end.
>>4143780Honestly surprised there was that good a rally at the end, very happy with a draw with those conditions. Also happy to see some of the new stuff on the field, just hoping the rest of it shows up with better conditions so they'll stay in.Next match is on sunday against /xs/, time to show off some sick grinds.
Is having romancable companions in a RPG being able to end up with another companion if you don't romance them on that run a good or bad thing in your eyes?If so why?
>>4137443I don't care.
>>4137464This is just an insane level of insecurity holy shit!
>>4141676It really isn't.The simple fact of the matter is that if we want to play the role of voyeur and watch another dude hook up with a hot chick there is plenty of porn that will fulfill this experience 10 fold better than anything a ERSB rated game is going to provide.For free.If you're asking for $60+ for me to enter into your emasculation ritual where Chad Thunderdong gets Princess Yoyo... I'll keep my money and watch as your studio slowly goes bankrupt.
>>4137464You have been raped by weaponized therapy words
>>4137443It's fine. I am there to RP.If I can get my wife to play at all, she is there to remove their clothing and make me play with them naked if possible.This vexes me somewhat as it offends my RP sensibilities, but having her turned on is also nice.

What game that is not morrowind or one of the good baldurs gates (1,2) can I be a game-breaking, overpowered wizard in?
>>4139875>Magic is more than that.Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic.
>>4139875Actually thinking about it, I don't know how much damage output is with magic. Hard to calculate damage from multiple sources and AoEs.
>>4139875>play mage>stop time>cast max dmg spell 1000 times to kill the boss>play melee>hit it once>it explodesHmm what seems to fit the bill of “overpowered and gamebreaking”?
final fantasy 11
Two Worlds 2
This is the worst "RPG game" ever made. A mockery of the genre.
>>4131651Baldur’s Gate (1, SoA, ToB) is a timeless masterpiece that will be fondly remembered for hundreds of years, like a Gesamtkunstwerk of Wagner.PoE is a bland product. I refuse to call it a game, let alone a cRPG, because it is uninspired slop for drooling, failed manchildren. It commits the worst sin possible for a work aspiring to be art: it is BORING, SAFE and NOT NOVEL. If I was running the world, comparing PoE to Baldur’s Gate would earn you prison time for grotesque and offensive behavior.>>4131659>>4132041I’d rather play Dragon Age: The Veilguard over PoE. It is more admirable to be unashamedly bad, than to be a boring cash grab, aiming to part unfuckable men with their money.>>4131696If subhuman vermin like vrpg denizens love pillars, then Pillars must be bad. Because of who (You) are, everything you like must be bad, and everything you hate must be good.>>4132288Close your eyes, lest you’re exposed to an opinion that doesn’t fit your echo chamber. Pitiable insect.
>>4132034It’s always funny to me when, after seeing “people” like you making a foolish assertion and then being corrected, you retards simply start sperging out in the opposite direction. If you were a conscious human being, you could self-reflect on your assumptions and choices, and reconsider if they were correct in light of new contradictory evidence.But you won’t, since you’re simply an attention-seeking animal, pure reflexive contrarianism, acting on negative conditioning.It’s doubly funny because that’s what you think about everyone else, but you’re too stupid to figure it out, even when the truth is plainly spelled out in front of you
>>4132335I will not denigrate myself by having an argument-based discussion with a middle aged failed man. Talk about PoE or leave the thread, and if you need to seethe in impotent rage, do so privately.
the funniest thing about this game was balance spergs pushing updates just to kill specific builds
>>4134626I know the Winter expansion added items that were meant to be not balanced.

What are some games which blur the line of an RPG, or use blatant RPG mechanics in a style of game that is not typical of the genre?Pic related. The poster child for a hybrid genre.
>>4135100Their Darksword setting is neat too, would've been sweet as a cRPG.
>>4135100Death Gate is fucking cool. I recently reread the series.
>>4139125Death Gate isn't an RPG at all. It's a very straightforward point and click adventure, just filled with a bunch of lore dumps and dialogue trees

How accurate are your results?https://easydamus.com/character.html
>>4140977Western > eastern > new age is the only logical answer
>>4136788These threads have been around on /v/ for ages so I've got a bunch of results.Apparently I've gotten more lawful as I've gotten older. My stat spread is pretty shitty for a Wizard though.
>>4136788We're strangely similar OP (and the only elves in this inferior human thread)
They sorted me as a cleric which seems odd, and neutral good despite scoring equal on neutral and lawful.I guess I don’t mind. But I think they overestimated my wis stat. I tend to be a paladin on class questions, though I guess I’ve become less openly confrontational lately.
>>4143495It probably thought your 30 chaotic answers offset some of your 57 lawful answers compared to your 51 neutral answers
Probably one of my favourite characters from the game. I really like Joyce, Sunday Friend and Trant, for their larger Moralintern worldbuilding.There’s just something about this guy, so alluring, quite so strange and sort of a beautiful mug. He’s based off of Tarmo Juristo, real Estonian activist, and Tarmo is also (Like Trant) a Martial Arts enthusiast (although Tarmo the guy might not be a recovering addict) I just have so many thoughts about this guy
>>4142534Only a tranny would provide such a detailed analysis. Lely was a supersoldier Chad, with friends that were ready to kill and die for him, and Klaasje was a Dutch BPD slut, carefully inserted in the game to tug on the heartstrings of autistic players.The only memorable thing about this mid-ass game is Klaasje counting the stars tattooed on Lely, need me a girl like that.
>>4142983You seem convinced that it takes a trooning to gain a modicum of analytical capability, namenigger. Might be projection.>Lely was a supersoldier ChadSupersoldier Chads are born to High Command dads, spend their adolescence deflowering heiresses and are currently chilling on the battleship with their epaulets, cold champagne and expensive escorts, ready to turn the entire Revachol along with Krenel and other shabesgoyim into subatomic dust at a moment's notice. Chad's don't get dumped by their parents in a leaf compacter to only be snatched from the sweet embrace of death into foster care hell with 3 alcoholic stepdads and 5 pedo uncles a year, concluding in promotion to overseas canon fodder, with the rest of it's days distributed between shoving around loincloth while neck-deep in shit and trying to kill itself with opiate overdoses - but a randomn schizo's bullet gets there first, as usual. >friends ready to kill and die for himWhere were said friends when he actually got wasted? Did they ever put in a pittance of effort into punishing Lely's actual killer? Have they mustered enough respect for Lely to at least stay sober until he's avenged?Of all the characteristics and estimates of people and organisations in DE's world, Krenel being the unfathomable jobber shitstains is the single.most objective and undisputed one. Not only they managed to lose their comander in a ruined, emasculated and DISARMED loincloth shithole - they then proceeded to nig out at nothing and somehow mass suicide by two hobocops with bore-loaders, ALL WHILE WEARING BULLETPROOF ARMOR. There exist no /d/ RPGmaker games that depict a rape of even remotely similar proportions.
>>4142983>Klaasje was a Dutch BPD slut, carefully inserted in the game to tug on the heartstringsShe's the most hated character in the entire game. Maybe only Sunday Friend is more hated.>Only a tranny would provide such a detailed analysis90IQ statement.>>4142534>>4143148Depends on your definition of "chad". You can be chad in a handsome nobleman way or in a trailer trash way and everywhere in between. Mercenaries from Western Europe in the 20th Century weren't exactly bottom rung people on the social ladder, even if they spent their lives living like animals in third world hellscapes. The BPD foid saw it as cool at least, like you said>She fell in love with the ugly ideal of what she wanted to be in her situationShe sees the rapechad and goes "giwtwm". Mentally unstable foids and career grunts go together perfectly.
>>4143325>She's the most hated character in the entire game.Nah, Ruby is substantially worse in every conceivable way. >You can be chad in a handsome nobleman way or in a trailer trash way and everywhere in between.True, but Lely is not a chad in any way. His life consisted of abuse and suffering all the way through, and he never rose above it to take control of his fate - he merely found ways to cope, by repaying the violence he is subjected with more violence of his own. He was a trapped animal that started seeing it's cage as a home. Measurehead, Joyce, Evrart or Iago are chads - regardless of their situation, they recognize their capacity for choice and choose to be free, exerting control over themselves and world around them, expressing their will and being themselves, actors of their fates instead of victims. >Mercenaries from Western Europe in the 20th Century weren't exactly bottom rung people on the social ladderAkshually the overwhelming majority of them were. PMC is a career very poorly suited for well-established and adjusted people pursuing reasonable goals. People who join in order to make cash know that they are doing so by putting their health and life at a stake, so it's not a very solid way to make money. People who join to fight for ideals realize that their service is ultimately subject to pay, not said ideals - mercs get bought, sold, and ultimately work for the highest bidder, not the rightest one. You need a combination of an adventure seeker doing it for the experience and thrill, a man who is okay with killing other people in process, and simultaneously not a psychopath. Such people factually existed, but were exceedingly rare. Most men serving under Schramme, McAleese or Prygozhin were utter motherfuckers.
>>4143325>She sees the rapechad and goes "giwtwm"In a way, yeah. The important parts here are:1. It explains why Klaasje took a turn from her normal survival strategy - cry and run away - to a more proactive solution in the form of staged lynching. Note that after that ended in a disaster, she reverted to her old modus operandi: run and don't look back. 2. It brilliantly illustrates the exact way bad situations and company make people worse - Klaasje is in a bad spot, and in seeking a way out she begins to admire and imitate the worst qualities of a man she knows who seemingly fares better in a similarly bad situation. Absolute kino desu.
