Tim Gayn's ludokino masterpiece
>>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
>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?
>>4096620Wow, that lizardman sure is packing a lot of CARGO!!>Let him unpack his CARGO? Y/N?
>>4096740>Escape>Escape>Escape
Grognards never stop being sadly amusing.
>>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.
>>4073341>Paladins were locked to humans only.Quite right too. Demi-humans don't have souls.

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.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1915520/Pipkin/Since Halloween is coming up, I've been looking at this. Have any of you guys played it?
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.
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?
Undertale just turned 11 and NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENEDlike no newsletter nothing

Nigger chapter 5 came out like 3 months agoWhat do you want?>but ch5 was shitIrrelevant
Probably for the best. The hype's over.

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"
>>4102691Calling you "stupid" would be an insult to idiots, schizo
>>4102691The idea of "Oversight" is pretty simple. It's like solving a maze with a bird's eye view. Nero, Ion, and Players 1(Earthes) & 2(Prim) are higher dimensional beings. They can use Oversight, but not from the dimension they're in. They're inside a 2D maze. They need a lift by "chaining" with a Genom or Tron so they can "look down". I believe the Genometrics screen is a kind of "oversight". But the game isn't clear about what you're looking at. It's a kind of personality map. Although you don't actually use it to navigate anything. Conceptually, this is how Humans and Sharl could "improve" their souls. When you're in Genometrics and you are presented with choices, this grid appears and sometimes show how a character's "personality" will shift.
The other thing that's not explicitly stated is how the planes of reality are stacked. In English, they use the word "Dive" which has the connotations of going in, down, or deeper. As if dreams, emotions, and the mental plane are lower than than the physical plane. But it's generally agreed that this game's universe is mostly inspired by Hindu/Buddhist values, where the physical is shaped by the mental somehow. And there are higher planes with Karmic and Causal influences on reality. All of that goes mostly unspoken. The player's connection to the world is supposed to be through the Ar Nosurge tube. We can switch "channels" between Earthes and Delta. However we lose our connection to Delta when he is captured by the Sharl and placed in the "Flask Sea" with a bunch of other humans to have their souls washed clean. So what does that mean? Because when the game started, we were in Delta's dream. Then we switched to Ion's soulspace, before helping her "wake up". It stands to reason that we should have done the same for Delta while he was in the flask sea.

>>4101879Ah yes i do like a fifth re-release of the game.
Is Parasite Eve an RPG?https://youtu.be/AyUqCxSSkEk
>>4093283yes. superior to PE2. now fook off.
>>4096279>it's just vagrant story with gunsBzzt wrong.Do not pass Go. Do not collect 200 dollars. Other than the sphere grid visuals, there is no similarities. In PE you can move around all the time and you can do an action when your bar is full. The main difficulty is avoiding enemy attacks. In Vagrant Story both player and enemy stop whenever someone does an acttack, and the attack hits based on the attacks' % chance to hit versus your evade %. So it plays more like a regular RPG just you can move between turns.
>>4096279It's actually different: Vagrant Story has no ATB system, and each action exists in its own round that can't be interrupted. Acting raises risk, which is the only thing preventing you from continuously acting, as it has a severe penalty for accuracy and damage taken. Parasite Eve has an ACT bar; Aya cannot use a move unless this bar fills, just like, say, FF7. The game is focused on avoiding damage while the bar fills up, whereas Vagrant Story is about timing QTEs to continuously extend one action before the enemy can get theirs off. Parasite doesn't have targetable body parts for most enemies, whereas it's a universal feature for Vagrant Story.
>>4093298I'm not picky so every game with RPG mechanics like stats and points to increase said stats, is an RPG for me.
>>4102446You’d fit right in to the “what is an RPG?” threads

>>4098711Can you niggers stop recommending fanfiction mods? Openmw is just fine.
>>4100010>clearly a typo by the developers, sweetie>fixed in patch for puristsIt's PROBABLY a typo, because it seems unlikely and inconsistent that ebony was intended to be greater in enchantment value than daedric. But many of the enchantment values are seemingly odd, without clearly being errors. Why do wood and steel have more than silver? Why does fucking dreugh have more than glass (glass has less than anything, including the cheapest and lowest tiers)?This is the problem with modders stepping out of "designer intent is clear, functionality is obviously broken and not working as intended" bugs and getting into "intent ambiguous, requiring interpretation and some subjective guesswork"
So this is the thread? Why aren't we at vg?

Clash Royal check.Do you play Clasy Royal? If so, what arena/rank/trophy count are you at? What deck do you play?I play this cancer deck, if those are wondering. It's homemade and has gotten me to Grand Champion in less than a week. Would run Icebow if I had the new Hero Ice Wizard, but sadly I'm a too much of a broke chud to afford that currently.
*ClashWhat the hell is correct spelling anyways?
>>4102409Not an RPGAlso p2w bricked my decks

The Steam achievements for Persona 6 have been leaked. Apparently the game has a cop/detective theme to contrast the phantom thief theme of Persona 5.https://www.exophase.com/game/persona-6-steam/achievements/
>>4088505P4 was more detectives looking for one culprit. P6 looks more like a group of officers arresting many criminals just like the Phantom Thieves fought different villains.
what a shitty leak. It does nothing to get my imagination going but if I paid careful attention I'd be a little spoiled about a ton of things
>>4086661I think there should be a penalty for doing a harem route. Like maybe you get locked out of rank 10's and if it's at rank 10 by the event where they find you out, then it goes back to 9 for all the girls. Or maybe one of them betrays your group and kills you in the other world. Or herself. Or maybe using teleporter technology, Takaya just shows up out of nowhere and shoots you in the face and your save corrupts and you need to go new game. Just something to remind the player that they're evil and playing the game incorrectly. But FATLUS doesn't have the balls. They will never have the MC be insulted ever again.
>>4087082They can't do pure supernatural. Gonna show social into this.
>>4095710I miss the original Persona 3.>Or maybe one of them betrays your group and kills you in the other world. Or herself.Kay this isn't bad.
