Just picked up the Might & Magic series after playing through the old Bradley Wizardry games,they seem a little more "chaotic" combat seems to be random But I really dig these 80s sprites & MIDI soundfont really nice ambiance and amazing atmosphere,is it a dungeon crawlers or prototype RPG like daggerfall or morrowind?
>>3894783Kekles.
>>3895034>some Singaporean-sounding slob pretending to be a Japanese waifu pretending to like boomer video gamesWhom does this appeal to?
>>3895077It lets us fantasize that one day we will have sex
>>3894527Whatever are "moon letters"?
>>3895606I don't know, why are you asking me?
Majority of the map is a wasteland with DC tucked away in the corner. No clearly defined roads or paths. This is the way you do an open world.
>>3894184Well of course, Sawyer took that roadtrip and all those photos, and IIRC the map itself uses USGS data for parts of its construction3 is a different story, though and that's what I'm curious about. And personally, DC is interesting to me because of its clash of architectural styles like colonial and brutalist and rural vs urban. And even just how green all of VA and MD are compared to 3's desert depiction.
>>3894042I said - no living vegetation, which after 200 hundred years is just silly, unless Fallout radiation works in mysterious ways.

I have more fun actually playing fallout 3 then new vegas i enjoy the more open map but also i enjoy the dungeons and subway tunnels morekilling super mutants and ghouls is more fun then legionaires or vipers or fiends i don't know, I can't help but have the wrong opinions on this. this far out from new vegas' release i just don't care about better story or writing because I've played it so many times. yeah new vegas is a better game but if I'mgoing to sit down and play one of them it'll be 3. I just ignore the main quest, and oasis, and the megaton bomb, and all the other dumb shit, and the broken settingi put 1 point in every SPECIAL then take intense training at every level up and distribute it down the line, I barely loot anything at all
>>3883065If 3 had a genuine writer without severe retardation it would have been a good game. The exploration in this game is better than 4 and NV, (although NV was stuck with only 1.5 year of dev). If it had a good story too, it would be stop being meme Bethslop and instead be a game that people can like without worrying about looking like a retard.
Elements edition.Gears, Saga, Blade... what have you.Will Takahashi rip off Arthur Clark for the fourth time in a row?
>>3895435The vast majority of side quests don't give exp.
>>3895440Maybe because you played the remaster? Original gave you a shit ton of exp from side quests, to the point where you were seriously over leveled by the time you reached bionis legs. I had to use a code just to reduce the exp gain so bosses could be a challenge.
>>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.

Don't tell me any of you *seriously* played it with a MALE character on your first main playthrough, /vrpg/. Surely nobody is stupid enough not to see that the storyline is female-coded as fuck, right? I mean...>Romance optionsI mean sure, Panam is the 'big' Chud consolation prize clearly inserted as an ad-hoc cliche bombshell fantasy which is pretty much all you need to ensure you pocket the money of your male userbase, but it really tells you something when the GYATT of a single NPC is pretty much the only existential justification for your main character. Other than sex scenes though, she's Bestie-coded as hell all while soapboxing ( Especially about her male father figure ), crying, dramatizing and gossiping about feeling for hours. She's canonically the firebrand hot straight friend gassing V up on a girl's night out, and we all know it.Other than that, literally every single other romantic interest or point of sexual tension/contrast is for female V, either explicitly or implicitly.Jackie: Just a little close-up dance at the club with a 'bro', right? You're just a little male damsel in distress who gets constantly taken care of and defended by big, strong, muscular Jackie. Just a casual tease at the ramen stand about how 'Ain't nobody who can resist this, am I right?' Come on, we all know what this is - No he isn't 'into' female V because he's also taken obviously, but he's basically her whiteknight.Meredith: So your manly man character is there to get pegged by Stout, is that what you're telling me? Respect, I guess.Judy: Self-explanatoryComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>3888153I didn't read your wall of text but yes I did play this shit as male.
for me, it was penis 1maybe i will do a penis 2 playthrough next
>>3888153I don't know the story of a game before replayed it and that is why I will always choose male
>another bump from page 10
>>3888154>I'm sorry, but Cybertranny won. V will always be a woman.I have no problem with that. I was intending to replay the game as female V anyways. But the game is such crap (and not even an rpg) that I havent even finished it as male V.
Are you ready for every JRPG for the next 10+ years to become Soulslike parryslop because of this game?
>>3889732If it makes them go back to being turn based, I'll take it
>>3889828>because they prioritize the japanese market firstNo they don't
>loses its GOTY award bcuz AI-sloplol, lmao even
>>3889732No. I hate normies for latching onto anything popular.
>>3889889>Persona 5 has sold 4 million copies more than Expedition 33.No shit, it's been out for almost 10 years. Expedition 33s sold 6 million copies so far. Persona 5 sold 3.2 million copies by 2019. If this keeps up it will easily outsell Persona 5 by the 10 year mark.
>item is required to progress>it's a random drop after the battle>is incredibly rare and found on a single floor
>>3895659Name 1 (one, singular) game where this actually, earnestly, sincerely, truly happens.
>>3895660Wizardry: Five Ordeals. Traveler's Property scenario.
i think you're playing ffxi
>>3895660Kodelka and the Black Cat's Amulet farming.
Don't tell me you actually do this
>>3875403why do you play a rpg if you don't?
>>3875403Dicking around in these ganes are part of what makes nostalgia so goddamn strong. If you're saying you never walked around the map and imagined your character taking a nap or that all of your playtime was spent pursuing the next objective as a kid then you're fucking lying.
>>3875403Doing this with SaGa games turn them from 5/10s into 9/10s
>>3884009Is there more than just Sentinel of Starry Skies with party creation? I couldn't get into the other DQ games people usually suggest with preset casts, but I 100%ed that one because I loved my party.
>>3875403>Just imagine you're playing a more interesting game
Does /vrpg/ like this game?
>>3884786FF13 for westeners. I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.
>>3884850You could copy paste that outfit into any vaguely fantasy/sci fi video game from the last decade and it wouldn’t look out of place. There’s been a total death of original aesthetics
>>3886218LoP is a Bloodborne ripoff
>>3889434>>3889420>GOTY awardAnon, I have some bad news for you...>and by "bad" i mean "hilarious"
>>3895604Merry christmas, anon. I hope you're doing well.
I just got Starfang, should I keep Yusaris for dragons or is Starfang still an upgrade against dragons despite Yusaris' damage bonus vs them?My character is a Human Warrior built for two-handers.
>>3890256Just install mods.
What stat retribution for a DW dagger warrior focused on damage?
>>3895262Dexmaxxed and whatever cunning you need to max out your talking skill.
>>3893428I've heard this, but I don't see it being worth it. Wouldn't the fatigue add up a lot?
>>3895542I just use stamina recovery gear on them. Like the sword and shield you get in the return to Ostagar DLC
I am trying to write a simulation of a JRPG town with 256 characters.I now made a compatibility matrix of my npcs.Basically 256*256 npcs.Red means they're hostile to each other and green means they're friendly.This is actually kinda neat.:D
>>3895064>Need to later figure out the story engine>>3895093>I need to design a story first and design the dramatic events.I hope you already know what you're developing this whole system for. You even made a map for it!
>>3895052That looks like a very hostile town
>>3895106I have more or less an idea of what I want for the story.Basically something like inspired by LOST.
>>3895098holy cope
>>3895052You probably need a neutral state to have it be at all realistic.
After playing sum DQ vidya, DQ 7 was the very first entry that actually got me hooked, so hooked that I’ve just spent 7+ hours straight on my 3DS run (21 hours in so far). Imagine my shock when I discover people treat it like the “black sheep” of the series, because it’s “too slow”Outreageous take (for some of y’all): the game can be extremely fun and engaging when you let it take your hand and experience it bit by bit, instead of complaining like a retarded bitch
I really like 7 as well. I don't know if it's my favorite, but it might be. But I also don't like 8 as much as many. And I haven't played any past 8, so I'm ignorant of those.
>y’allOpinion disregarded.
play the kino comfy ps1 original again or give the demake a try? I cant decide bros...
I really don't like that they made all skill sets to invest in available from the start. It breaks the game completely when you can max out the ones that give increased XP and SP out the gate and use combat skills the game wasn't made expecting you to have.
>>3887447>remake is fineDid it really leave the 'Crawd has advanced forward' type voice lines? If not it's shit.>>3887447Most remakes are fucking terrible because they make the games easier to the point of triviality. Then retards complain even more about how boring the gameplay parts are.>>3887477Mages are better in the original and basically required to 'beat the game'. I'm under the impression they are useless for this in the remake so I'm not even sure how you would go about it.>>3887597Yeah all of that sounds fucking awful.>>3889530This is strawman nonsense. There are no fucking 'hot' sprites in a fucking 16x16 pixel NES character. DQ remakes are shit because you get 4x as much xp as the original or other nonsense like visible encounters; which is remarkably retarded when metal slimes are a thing. Difficulty leveling forces you to try to beat things while weaker. You can level to 30 in the first game but that is completely insane compared to doing it at 20 where every battle in the last dungeon could kill you.
>>3895491"crawd has advanced forward" is gone in demake, youre stuck with the tranny psp VA or moonspeak.
>>3895491>mages are better in og>required to beat the gameum what? did you even play it? rena is the only useful mage because shes the only good healer, and even she isnt needed if you have opera, who will heal just as well AND put out serious damage. every other mage has awful damage AND awful support. they do significantly more damage in the remake but are still much worse than fighters.
>>3895494Mages can completely negate enemy casters like unlimited Indalecio.
Chapter 5 is probably releasing around a year from now.Do you think it can live up to the hype?(Keep fan game discussion on >>3870278 )

>>3893637>Chapter 5 Tenna sceneI do not like this. It drags on, is not particularly funny, and will lead to more shipping crap, like we haven't had enough with SpamTenna.>Toby programmed Chapter 4's climbing mechanic himselfConsidering he is not a particularly skilled programmer I will give him kudos for this. The climbing mechanics are very well done.>asked Andrew Hussie for advice regarding Noelle's houseThis indicates that he has maintained closer ties than I thought. There go all the suspicions about them being estranged.
>>3893726>will lead to more shipping crapI hate this as much as you, but this isn't surprising in the slightest.>There go all the suspicions about them being estranged.Meanwhile I still don't get why he ghosted the YIIK creator
I thought the newsletter was funny and made me lol
>>3893726I hate Spamtenna so much.Tenna seems like such a wholesome character and has the maturity and excitement of a child. It's fucking weird to be trying to ship this guy.

>>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.
yall might have gotten this question a lot. but i want to know what are some great rpgs out there. ive played skyrim 150 and i'm bored. i've finished the main witcher 3 story. enjoyable. played cyberpunk but neverfinished it. played some older fallout games. finished 1 but i didn't finish 2 yet. currently i'm playing pillars of eternity and honestly it's enjoyable (" except that part when you read dead people's past i've got to open cimbridge dictionary or oxford dictionary. ") and also is there any rpg forum recommendation or community forum something like that. thanks yall.
I can't get into bg1 at all. It's just so boring. And I get frustrated by poor pathfinfing in rtwp. Feels like herding cats. I've only really enjoyed fallout 1 and planescape And warcraft 3 rpg sections lol . Fallout 2 isn't interesting to me.
>>3881467kek so it's exactly like here then? Unfortunately these idiots spamming the same comments and posts are unavoidable at this point.
>>3883217idc about the woke stuff but both those games have way too much combat for how repetitive it is, dos2 in particular is guilty of this, game could have been half as long. Story was forgettable, I liked BG3's story though.
>>3880656The only games here I enjoyed to the end were Disco Elysium (cryptozoology plot kept me playing) and Shadowun (nice, short games albeit the combat system is almost primitive).
>>3884211Albion (by Blue Byte / Ex Thalion) is great but very little non-euros know it.
