>>4117492I don't think that it's only STR that would/should define how much physically robust you look but also CON, since the it's the latter who describes best durability (which you normally wouldn't find in a scrawny guy) and later translates into your HP. And Halsin has a healthy 14 there.Not saying that it 100% explains him being a beefcake, just that it should be taken account for.
>>4125159>Not saying that it 100% explains him being a beefcake, just that it should be taken account for.Him being a writer’s self-insert 100% explains him being a beefcake.The devs being hacks who just gave every NPC the default “standard array” for their class, and not giving a shit about the principle of “play your sheet”, explains the contradiction. I am certain that CON was never even considered.
Any tips for someone that's new to the series? I'm getting my ass beat by random fodders.
OP here. I'm almost at the end of the game. Here are my tips from experience:- Use a walkthrough for Chapter 1 (and whenever you are stuck on where to go). The beginning is very difficult; prioritize on obtaining good 1H swords like the Lurker's Bite and Longsword - they make a world of a difference.- Learn the Acrobatic skill. It makes combat much easier by being able to cancel into roll to avoid attacks.- Don't drink any permanent stat-boosting potions until you have invested 100 into the stat (with an exception mentioned later below)- Go with the Old Camp and Shadow/Warder story route; supposedly it's the best for the first playthrough.- Prioritize on 1H sword mastery and then 100 strength.- Climbing, Swimming (and subjectively Alchemy) are useful to learn.- Invest remaining points into Bow mastery, 2H sword mastery, and then towards 100 dexterity. Drinking dexterity boosting potions before 100 dexterity is fine; it's unlikely you will min-maxing on a first playthrough to reach 100 dexterity - Use a lock solver if you don't have the patience to solve them: https://www.gothicsolve.com/- Get Scar's Sword before Chapter 4.- For Syra's questline, when you see the Fire mages out in the courtyard, google searching suggests that you can save her if you kill the guards and reach her instead of escaping with Milton. Although, some here might clarify this further.
>>4106472Also, use a guide on getting the Rideable Scavenger when it becomes available. It saves tons of time on getting across the map.
>>4046991I have only original Gothic and Gothic 2 experience. I bought the game during the summer sale (when it was 0% off) and I barely played it since then. I am afraid that I'll find out that I am getting my ass whooped by "for new kids" iteration of the game.
>>4046991I need advice on which camp to join specifically for Permadeath + Sleepless cheevo, which one is the least uncomfortable? I am doing the Old Camp quests and I think that by far the worst for this.

Shiren the Wanderer celebrated its 30th anniversary a few days ago, so lets have a Mystery Dungeon thread. Which Shiren game is your favorite, and what would you want to see in Shiren 7?And when the fuck is Shiren Asuka's translation patch getting finished?

Post common mechanics & design choices made specifically to waste your time.>Radiant Quests
The in-engine cutscenes Owlcat do. Just recently played through Rogue Trader again, and there's probably like cumulatively at least 20 hours of just watching their shitty little models walk into the scene.
>>4111994Honestly, the mag time limit and any item having a drop rate of less than 10% are the only parts of the game I'll call bad.
>Having any type of RNG based shit in games with a save function>Battles against trash mobs>Having items whose only practical purpose is to be sold for money instead of giving you the money directlyRPGs really don't respect your time.
>>4119020RNG based gimmicks are ass, fucking true
Any sort of non deterministic rng reward/upgrade system. I'm not here to gamble or simply engage with the game like a hamster on a treadmill. I don't mind luck and RNG as long as the reward pool is design to avoid specific multiples until it's empty.
I'm actually going to talk more about FF13 and FF16.But it starts with FF8. What they all have in common is a creation myth that humans were created as tools. They were tools that created other tools. Naturally you think man made machines. But if you stand back, it's perhaps machine made men.
>>4124392Go on
>>4124542Dissidia NT is also a world between worlds, shaped by "memories" of the various FF games. If you ever watched Adventure Time: Fiona and Cake, the multiverse is connected by a dimensional tree, and below it or encompassing it, is the "undergrowth". I think it's safe to call that the 8th Consciousness as well. That's where the Karmic Worm lives. The equivalent to that is The rift dragon Shinryu. But again, I wouldn't go so far as to say The Rift is a plain of consciousness. A number of games in the series touch this interdimensional rift. The world of Dissidia is a copy of the planet of FF1, they call it World B. But aside from the the various fighting stages from other worlds, the cast seem to suggest it's mostly a wasteland. And "maybe" it'll grow flowers one day. Stranger of Paradise is also a kind of copy of FF1. Since it's also an amalgamation of other worlds, I'm not sure if it was meant to "World B" as well. FF8, like FF1, has this time loop, and for the ending FMV Squall is seen wandering this wasteland too. In fact the area outside of Ultimecia's Castle is called "Wastelands" but Disc 4 has practically no dialogue outside the final battle, so there's no commentary on what this Different Future is. And that's the weird part with Final Fantasy, you can have a memory of a future that never was. Or perhaps was, then, never more.
>>4125063In FF7 Rebirth, Aerith is like "There's no such thing as forever." And Sephiroth says something like, "...but there will be."From the very start of Remake, Cloud was seeing Sephiroth and Whispers, and visions of things that haven't happened yet. And there were deviations from the original game. The question is, is fate real, does the future exist somewhere. In Kingdom Hearts, there are "data" worlds, created with knowledge of future worlds that don't exist yet. At what point does it become real. And can destiny be erased?In FF13-2, the oracles drives are the same way. They're powered by these paradox fragments, once a future is "observed" via an oracle drive, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. But it's like, who's consciousness is "observing" it anyways?
In Stephen King's The Langoliers, a plane flies through a time rift leaving everyone who was asleep in this walk of echoes sort of shadow dimension. You could say they were some minutes in the past. But, conceptually, here the past doesn't exist infinitely. Reality is unraveling.They deduce that only people that were unconscious survived through the rift. Being conscious created some kind of paradox that disintegrated everyone awake. Everything has this dull soulless quality to it, flames don't give off much heat, fuel won't burn unless it stays near them, like their life force imbues everything. And beyond them, space-time is being devoured by something. Like "the nothing" from The Neverending Story. But it manifests as this man's childhood boogieman monster that his father made up. Furry balls of teeth that eat lazy people who drag their feet. The Niblets in Lightning Returns must be based off of Langoliers.
Maybe Griever was a Langolier, and Junctioning with it is what gives Ultimecia the capacity to absorb time in the first place.

>>4125023imagine kris creating something similar to their dark world armor and going on adventures to abandoned buildings and pretending that theyre hunting ghosts or whatever monsters use as the generic enemy monster species since clearly skeletons and shit like orcs being generic fodder to be eliminated would be off limits in a monster dominated world

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"

This as a full game wouldn't be a bad idea
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
>>4112116I am not afraid of an army of non-RPGs, played by a roleplayer. I am afraid of an army of RPGs, played by a non-roleplayer.
>>4112894what you should be afraid of is my dick going in your ass
Last time I tried it I dropped it after the tutorial, I should really give it another chance, especially considering I've been nerding out over spies lately
>>4112116>>hurr durr muh skillsIt's also a choicer and consequencer game
>>4102526lmfao unfortunately true
You cannot argue in good faith against this masterpiece. It is objectively the greatest video roleplaying game ever created, and honestly probably the best video game ever created. Why do Millennials hate fun? Why do they hate the West incarnate?>The last Oblivion thread is still upGood, now there are two good threads on the board. No other RPG is worthy of discussion at this point.
>>4108995wasnt there already a spear mod?maybe i hallucinated that
>>4108745>enchanting as a skill but the only addition being the ability to have multiple enchantments in i posted a fun old mod earlier ITT that kinda does thatenchantment mastery. at the very least it gets you to that lategame morrowind crazy enchant feel which is extremely fun in oblivions physics engine lolthe thing i wanna see again is cast-on-use enchants. thats one thing that a warrior build in oblivion lacks, is a way to do some extra magic attacks/buffs/debuffs. ideally without investing into 2 stats they dont really care about. i always used to take enchant as a minor on my warriors in MW, just to have the extra options
>>4111305There is a mod that adds spear weapons but function as Swords and use the Blade skill. Now with these new stuff you can use said mod to to have them behave like spears and use the Spear skill. You can find what you need in the "True Spears" and "Spear Skill" mod pages.>>4111334I decided to look into link related and it seems to do about what i need and doesnt hugely alter the mechanic or make it insanely broken which is nice for a vanilla+fag like myself, you should check it out.https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/41553

I'll be honest Rebirth was mildly fun to play but the story was so nonsensically garbage that it killed any interest I had in playing part 3
>>4116111Remake set up a potentially interesting follow up but Rebirth chose the most boring possible path. And on top of the game itself being a slog I just dropped it.
>>4102404Holy buzzwords
are there any good playable vampire experiences in games? ideally itd be in some kind of MMO where its an uncommon playstyle. nothing seems to capture the horror/thirst aspect well.
Vampyr, aptly named.Really good story, dialog scenes, music, atmosphere, choices that actually matter (at some point I got up and started to walk around for 5 minutes thinking about what choice to make during an important quest). And the thirst aspect is a big part of it.Unfortunately, you are still playing a relatively weak vampire trying to find a cure for yourself. It's not easy to find games that allow you to really indulge in the powerfantasy.
>>4105352VTM: Redemption>MMO>>>/vm/
>>4105354How good is the story
>>4105394Bumping nearly dead thread.I want to know the answer to this too
>>4105352Have you tried Shadow Hearts? I think it comes close enough
At what point did you realize that the best style of RPG is the Ultima perspective?
>>4116200>obscure
>>4116200U4 isn't obscure though? it was revolutionary.
>>4070176when I played certain SNES games
How do you avoid dying if you start as a Shepherd in IV? The ground around your starting position is poison. Sure, if you die you end up teleported in front of Lord British, but I was wondering if there's another way to leave the ghost town without you keeling over.
>>4071151Doesn't seem like so
Sup, anons, I'd like to spend my next weekend playing a retro RPG ( up to the 6th generation of consoles ) to play using the emulator on my phone. I'd like a hidden gem, an obscure and little-known RPG, but one that you anons played and ended up being underrated.

>>4115197PSX = PlayStationIt was the abbreviation used at the time it came out, from Sonys internal code name, the “x” was for experimental“PS1” would later become more popular after the PS2 came out, for obvious reasons
