Perfect choices thread
>>4046063>Perfect choices threadFor me, it was playing DA:O once at launch, and then dropping the series forever
>>4046095Unbelievably based
>>4046063the perfect choices run is to stop worrying about things not being perfect and just play whatever route and roleplay based off of that
>>4046095this but i quit at the dwarf kingdom where one of quest resolution options is locked behind a reminder to purchase the $15 launch day dlc
for me some good choices in various games I played were:Executing LoghainSiding with StormcloaksThe Green Ending
What is /vrpg/ opinion on the Octopath Traveler series
>>4044467only black people play JRPGs you're allowed to say it
>>4044467That's doable. However, you'd have to know what to equip on everyone first and what to do per turn since there's less margin for error.You genuinely won't survive against the super superboss in the Extra Battles mode (on the title screen after making a save file during the epilogue) if you can't handle the normal superboss.
>>4045078Finally beat the vanilla super boss. Undecided as to whether I should tackle the true super bosses next or play Octopath 1.
>>4046492Your call. I had to rework my entire team setup for the 3rd Extra Battles fight along with learning new skills for Hikari for utility purposes.And the 4th Extra Battles took me almost a whole hour to beat compared to the normal superboss taking like 10-15 minutes.
>>4046492>or play Octopath 1Oh.It's going to be pretty rough playing backwards from release entry.
was kreia that good of a character to warrant such a long video essay?
>>4038110It's still missing even with it. It improves it but it certainly doesn't finish it.
>>4045198It more than makes up for it with what's present in the game. Similarly to how VtM: Bloodlines does the same with its lackluster third, given that the first two thirds of the game are wonderful.
>>3998626HE had a great channel, it's a shame he got mass reported by retards who cannot tell apart fiction and reality: the sex thailand audio was a joke that blew out of proportion. Truly a shame how democratic herd stupidity and adoration of the state continues to ruin every great man.
>>4045437Not really. The last part of the game still feels unfinished and disjointed.
>>4045106Well said>>4045472>HE had a great channelOH I bet>The sex thailand audio was a joke>He doesn't bang half of Bangkok in between posting epic Lore youtubes>blew out of proportionARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Lurking ITT I assumed he was based! He wasn't based? wtf? talk about ruining my buzz, thanks. Thank you for the information>Truly a shame how democratic herd stupidity and adoration of the state continues to ruin every great manI'm still breathing. But I'm the rare exception here. Yes I agree with your point. Fuck this sad new world
thread about gamedev, not your drama.
>>4045994If you do and plan on downloading games from there, be sure to first read the Sandboxie thread so you protect your PC from malware that runs inside the game's .exe which is common of Renpy and RPGM games in the past.
>>4046153more useful for an active battle system focused game rather than stock RPGM turn based combat
Any tilesets with a hangman's noose??
>>4045994Youre asking in relation to gamedev or what?
>>4046391Rope, bedsheets, or intestines?
You are stuck on a 10 hour flight. Where are you sitting?
I would demand another flight since this one is apparently full of faggot freaks and as far as I know about chinese cartoons not one of them is the sex they are looking like and I have a 70% chance to get buttraped the moment I sit down.
>>4045055you sure that it can even land?10-4-1 btw
Bumpy
>>4046135turbilance much?
>>4046365>turbilance much?You tell me.
Why hasn't Todd officially ported Skyrim on Android when it can run smoothly even with emulation on current mobile phones?
>>4046174At the end of the day. Jews are the final boss
>>4046218But wouldn't it make extra money for the Jews? Like, there are more people with smartphones than with Nintendo Switch, making it a better handheld option to port to. Android based consoles are also growing popular these days.Rockstar has been doing this for a long time and recently ported Red Dead Redemption on Android and iOS, so what's stopping Bathesda?
>>4046236Why does the scorpion sting the frog, even though they’ll both drown?
I'm going to replay the BG games again soon with a custom party. I beat the EE with a custom party back when I first got it in jan 2015 (I played the original several times by then, relax), but I didnt take them to bg2. This time I will, it will be the first time I go through bg2 without npcs; I'm wondering how much that will change the experience. I really wish indie devs would give us more games like this that aren't fucking terrible. Anyway: infinity engine thread.
>>4045209do you enjoy high-level DnD? with how absurdly overpowered charname is, and how much they lean into "you're essentially a walking god now lol", it almost reminds me a bit of FF12 where the game plays itself most of the time (lich fights notwithstanding.) maybe the abundance of side-quests in chapter 2 keeping you occupied/running around at all times vs how more exploratory it is in BG1? curious.
>>4045849I think I just enjoy DnD simulation in general, but there's also just an autistic part of me that likes games that I can plan out a course through to see if I can get through as much of the content as possible in a certain way. I really like those Harebrained Shadowrun games for a similar reason
>>4044904tactics remix is even worse>confront Silke with my level 1 party>usually you just gang up on her before she can get a lightning bolt off>now she instantly prebuffs with stoneskin, blur, mirror image, minor spell deflection, and protection from normal missiles>also casts vitrolic sphere (an IWD spell) which wipes the entire party and everyone else standing nearby (Garrick and the 3 guys Silke wants you to murder)yeah, fuck that modin fact, fuck all Baldur's Gate mods
>>4046299the mod author is also an idiot who hands out special abilities like candy to enemies>vampiric wolves can now dominate with a gaze, but isn't blocked by a potion of mirrored eyes>sirens sing a song that casts mass charm, but it kept triggering when I had them affected by fearunfortunately, I expected at least some semblance of quality, not some amateur shit
>>4046299one last thing>go to Bassilus fight>he also prebuffs an ungodly amount>however, he polymorphed himself into a squirrel, which is hilarious and shows that the mod author is truly a dumbass>happens each time I reload>sadly also automatically summons an air elemental which turns invisible each round and backstabs my frontliners, and also entangling themso yeah, fuck this mod forever
Just finished my first complete playthrough of this with ending D and Dark Priest and it was a lot better than I expected. If the community surrounding this game wasn't so retarded, I would've played this earlier. Thinking of replaying it to see what changes if Le'Garde doesn't die.
>>4033365buttsexhe's a dude
>>4045025I forget it's there and just play normally
>>4045025why would you need infinite lucky coins
>>3984662>rest spotYeah, I'd like this feature a lot thanks. Shame most F&H mods have nearly zero compatibility or it'd be great.
>>3978111the guy who did fear and hunger doesn't know how to program
Sea editionDiscuss about whatever you like about Gears, Saga, Blade
>>4037189if you're still bored after everyone dies a few hours in then just skip
>>4037746I only remember an attack on the ship where random nameless NPCs died and it really dragged on, if that's what you mean, but I'll give it another shot.
>Did Neilnail's first questPrimo : Qlu pussy.Secondo : The ring thing lore will be relevant for Genesis, yeah?
>>4041562I doubt anything from X will be relevant moving forward with the exception of GHOST and however the cores of ares tie to those of ouroboros (probably imaginary domain bullshit)
>>4042144I dunno. Genesis Elf have similarity to the Qlu, especially the lady with the black tattoos.We also have feline looking folks that looks like a cartoonish version of Wrothians.
What RPG implements status effects in a way that's fun but balanced? It sure isn't JRPGs.
>>4012446Pokemon but that requires you to play PvP. Now stop making this thread because all you played was FF and grinded you way past every problem.
I like the way Dragons Dogma does it. The only problem I have is that you can't improve the effects.
>>4034605Seconding FF13. You gotta make actually impactful decisions on whether you want to gamble for early debuffs with low probability to inflict and low duration once inflicted on one extreme end VS proceeding to stagger without debuffs and then inflicting near-guaranteed very long duration ones on the other + everything between these two extremes. Most impactful against the extremely vile common enemies in CH13 + a few other places depending on how much/little you've been levelling.
>>4012489About as gay as finding a new, more powerful. sword and equipping that.>>4012586This guy gets game design.>>4014884>"debuffs" are a very crude category for this.Yeah sure. So what? It's a sum of parts. You pick out any part and it's going to be less than stellar and yet the sum is worse for it's absence.>More interesting to have multiple stats/resources (eg balance)Double-digit IQ take. They're not mutually exclusive and you can have both.>>4014994This.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>zoomers discover status effects
Because the thread on the first game was a success. Thoughts, questions, discussions, and arguments are all welcome.>blog below Finally gotten around to a second run and im finding myself enjoying the game more. Weaponcraft with Abella PC has been fun so far.
>>4029851Eastern Union soldiers were seriously expected to fight these fucking things with rusty .303 rifles and all the heroine their bodies could handle
>>4029851Hey I just realized Mechanical Dance makes a really similar sound
Will there be a Fear and Hunger 3?Where can he even take the series?
>>4046085Fear and Hunger 3: Chipwrecked
Does anyone know what happened to this game? Like a year ago everyone was acting like it was RPG jesus only there for there to be no news about it afterwards. The steam page says it'll be released in 2026 but literally nothing indicates this to the case lol even their trailer still says early access will open in 2025.Their demo was kinda gay but it was better than nothing I guess. Is there nothing to play if I want a TES style game? Already played tainted grail which was kinda fun and dread delusion was wasnt that fun.
>>4038217I played like 8 hours this weekend, it's exactly what OP wants. Handles like Skyrim but feels like Morrowind, setting looks like Shivering Isles, premise feels like Bioshock meets Made in Abyss. My only complaint is that there is only one friendly city and everything else is a ruin of some type. Apparently this is a prequel to a much larger planned game so hopefully that will have multiple cities.>>4039637got that knight's gear and I doubt there is anything better in the game right now but since that location is 1/3 shrines for a quest maybe the other shrines will have something good too
>>4045851>Handles like Skyrim but feels like Morrowind, setting looks like Shivering IslesLost me here, I hate Shivering Isles
>>4045854why?
>>4045851There is another friendly town on the other side of the island that's full of beast people but they all hate you if you're human
>>4045998>town full of beast people but they all hate you if you're humanI come to /vrpg/ to stop thinking about real life, anon.
kazuma kaneko recently said these 3 series are not connected despite the games all clearly showing otherwise at multiple points. genuinely, what was he smoking that made him go on this bout of (metem)psychosis?
>>4045574It's because Tamaki is Otada's waifu
>>4045574>asset reusethings like in-game text connecting the games, plot points, and entirely new art/sprites aren't reused assets. tamaki, karukozaka high, the kuzunoha agency, kyouji being the fat old detective, raidou 2's entire existence, etc etc are squarely iterative ideas that connect these games. you'd have to have only played the more recent games to think it's just easter eggs
>>4045066he didn't really write them but he did have a hand in the world building and processes but even fatlus has put out their own timeline contradicting what he says
>>4045150there's also the fact that one of the NPCs in her game mentions seeing the smt 1 guy wearing his cool arm computer so he made the one tamaki wears. and the villain of her game appears as a side quest in soul hackers, albeit that one is basically an easter egg
>>4043952Who cares
Alright pipeworkers, you know the drill.When is Styg droppin' a new dev diary, why is Six such a faggot and why is Ladelman so based?
>>4044270good ol 500x speed waiting for my supersteel to cook
>>4035976>>4044253Drug and poison idea. Could be called witch doctor that is exclusive from stoicism. Does something like every drug now also provides +5 psi points except bandages (if not have psi empathy get +5 health instead) and all drugs with a duration also provides 1% damage reduction from all sources including juice, all alcohols also no longer drain psi. 2 specs improve the reduction at .5% each spec need 7 Wil 7 Con or 8 Wil 6 Con and 60 bio [spoilers]serpentman shamans all have this [/spoilers]>hypertoxicity could also provide +1 to poisen stacking effects>Vil weopenry also adds +5 to coating useCave Dweller voodoo feat: req any feat above can add an addition poisen coating to weopens and get special coating that makes all poisen and bleeds effects inflict damage same turn. Lowers all stacks by 1. Only has 5 coating stacks but is affected by the vil buff>Darkdwellers all have this and weopens inflict this
>>4044268and so it begins
i still have zero fucking clue what charms do in this game
>>4045364They make you lucky and enhance your potential
will it ever be topped? the story, side quests, followers, loot, builds you can make etc. there's nothing that comes close. nowadays everything is sterile and "balanced"
>>4042048>the story is shit compared to Xenogearslook, i agree with most of what you wrote, but that's a bannable take.
>>4031460From a nobody to a Demi-god, and every bit of the journey feels logical, and all the progress feels earned. Nothing else has surpassed it yet, and all modern western rpgs are derivative from it.
>>4040131Wow DISAGREE. Irenicus is a fantastic villain and the game really builds him up at the start with all the evil shit in his laboratory, him arrogantly kicking the shit out of the Cowled Wizards, etc.The fact that Imoen was kidnapped is handled elegantly by having both her AND Irenicus taken captive by the Cowled Wizards, meaning you don't have to feel too guilty about time spent on sidequests - if Irenicus had grabbed her, said "I'm taking you back to my rape dungeon" and poofed out of existence, you'd be acutely aware of the need to find them as fast as possible but this approach gives you leeway. The side content is fantastic, it is the meat of the game, doing dozens of varied D&D quests, learning about the Forgotten Realms mythos, just constantly discovering cool shit and the scripted events and timed quests really make you feel like you are in a living, breathing city. The game changes after you head out to Spellhold and becomes more like Icewind Dale - and that's a good thing btw since as you said, you can easily spend 60 hours hoovering up every last crumb of Ch2 content. Fish area is just fun killing high level mobs. Underdark is fantastic, doubly so if you have Viconia in your party, triply so if you are romancing. The insight it gives into her attitude is exceptional. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4045784>meaning you don't have to feel too guilty about time spent on sidequeststhis is just horseshit to justify your opinion and you know it lol. it's fine to like the game, but at least try and be objective about it.
>>4031578>>4040131>And DnD always works better at low levelsI don't care for this sentiment. I like playing games with high level DnD because to actually do that in the tabletop is always a fucking chore, while video games do the work for you with the worst parts. Also I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the most popular DnD games (or campaigns within them) are ones that go into high level stuff.
