>>4111374>You will find more active discussion on RPGcodex, RPGhq, and Kiwi Farms.you will also find more mentally ill people you wouldn't want to talk to. In fact 100% of the population
>>4112429Fortunately, I don’t need to go to the RPG codex to interact with mentally ill RPG codex users. In their generosity, they come here and share their time with us.
>>4112118please do not hurt the dubfag's feefees, they are a very sensitive bunch

Why do zoomers treat this as a hidden gem now? It's literally the negative elements of Morrowind and Skyrim with none of the positives.
>>4124463You're boring
>>4124419>Pure warriors don't exist because they have to dip into magic or thief skills to do anythingSkill issue. Try playing as a pure barbarian who’s paranoid and mistrustful of all magic, even eschewing potions, magical fast travel, and enchanted weapons. It’s entertaining
>>4124514As I said, not possible to beat the game by playing it that way. >>4124493Projection.
>>4124532>As I said, not possible to beat the game by playing it that way.You lack imagination.
>>4124419I completed Oblivion and both DLCs as a rogue/ranger type.
How long can you subsist solely on the same 20 year old grudges and arguments, still treating Fallout 3 like the end of the world, never moving on?
>>4114970Yep you got bullied by millennials, tough life
>>4113082Interplay did that themselves
>>4089926>the sky is blue>zoomers believe something retarded>grass is green
I've never visited this site, but Fallout 2 always struck me as an odd choice of game to be such a weirdo over.Don't get me wrong, I loved Fallout 2 when I was a kid, because it is a very edgy game filled with sex and violence. But it is also a half-finished game where every other character is a Family Guy tier pop culture reference and the gameplay consists of a clusterfuck of your teammates shooting each other and you in the back (unless you go solo, which then highlights how boring solo turn based rpgs are).
>>4089926But anon, Fallout 3 IS shit! Save for the jazz music (not the happy go lucky 50’s schlock) and the architecture present in game. Those are both great.
>Ah yes, ‘LLMs.’ The supposedly intelligent machines allegedly capable of replacing every knowledge worker. We have dismissed that claim.
>>4125208This space dating sim is not an RPG. You wouldn’t care about this game if you could have sex with a hot woman.
Why are there no copy cats of this game?
>>4117598Oh right, but I was curious about what was going on with the rest of the USA. I heard ostranauts is really fun but buggy
>>4117275After DMC it's just the military base with the microwave drones and the ending, but there's a bunch of cool stuff scattered throughout the game like the blue frog cult, the weird cryptid stuff, the mechanical cat, and killing the merga wraith I definitely wanted more characters to talk to that's probably my least favorite part of the game but it oozes with style and atmosphere otherwise and I do really like some of the mecahnics and ideas in the game. I think DMC is also quite barebones with what you can do there, for a MEGAcity, which sucks.
It sucks.
>>4116033Dubs of truth.
>>4115996The way it is played, especially combat and crafting, is not intuitive or fun unless you are willing to put in a considerable amount of time and effort to get past its oddness.But it is a cool game
>race: human>gender: female>highest stat: charisma>haughty bitch at first, heart of gold gets revealed during struggle and crisis (it just needed some polishing)Aww yeah, it's roleplaying time
>>4116424>Oy oy, what did I tell you about starting shit while we're in a dungeon?> also, saying "cock-loving whore" is like saying "food-loving halfing".sorry anons, I know I do draw no good, but the image was pretty funny in my head
>>4117875>saying "cock-loving whore" is like saying "food-loving halfing".You have a point
>>4114574>race: human>gender: finger of death>highest stat: finger of death>finger of death, finger of death, finger of death, finger of death, finger of death, finger of death...
>race: rat>gender: male>highest stat: charisma>cheesed to meet you at first, strong muenster slayer as the story progresses
>race: human>class: warrior>highest stat: STR
A new RPG has been revealed to us, which features a twist. The game focuses completely on the character and roleplaying experience of a Warlock, instead of dilluting their focus and allowing you to play as any class.The gameplay trailer revealed:>your patron (pic related)>a MC (not sure if you can only play as her)>various combat and utility spells for puzzle solving>possibly a town with NPCsI am cautiously excited for this. Mostly because the Patron is doing ASMR style whispering during gameplay and is kinda hot and already very dominating with barely any boundaries
>>4070528Hypothetical woke ghost has appeared again
>liking women is gay and woke>if you play as a hot chick then you're an AGP trannywhy is modern 4chan like this? this is mental
>>4070342The DND 3.5 Warlock would be the perfect main character for an action RPG with destructible terrain and buildings. Voxels and isometric graphics would probably work best there.Megaman meets DND.I was just an inch for finishing a working engine for such thing in 2009.
>>4091964DND tumblr edition
>>4125114On a material basis well-off thirdies gain benefits from oppressing their browner countrymen and so they go extra hard on the hard right stuff because of it. It is in the their best interest for western nations to be as chudmaxxed as possible or else they will lose their funding. Like Argentina would be in economic collapse if it wasn't for the 40b in funding, let alone Israel.
There's a sale going on, so I picked up a few titles I haven't played yet. I don't really like FuRyu games though.

i sent square enix an email about making the boost mechanic in pixel remastered even harder (0.25x/0.1x), suggested they add the boost mechanic to ff7 so i can make the game harder, and fix the bugs in the ff7 port where the game has a stroke if you have a solid 120+ fps and they said they're going to talk to the development team about ityou're welcome
>>4115022The solution to overleveling in FF7 is to simply beeline through each area efficiently, without wandering around and getting into unnecessary random fights. Then you’ll be at roughly the intended level throughout the game.Secondarily, it helps to rotate through all party members evenly rather than just using a core main trio
>>4115231Oddly relevant cross-post: >>4116104
Any updates?
>>4124957no, but apparently they are working on fixing the issues with having too high FPS in the FF7 portsbeats me if they'll take my feedback to implement boost in ff7 and make it harderi think i might try 0x exp on FF6 until i reach vector, i'm not doing a full LLG that's just 777 slot spam and i'm not even sure you can do it on pixel remastered
>>4113803I sent Square Enix an email about my willingness to rape Tomura to death. They didn't respond though.
If you could marry one cRPG girl, why would it be Shadowcute?
hydrafxx just released some new Shadowheart content on wednesday. happy gooning
>>4117223Why the long face?

>>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.
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?

It's over
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.
Undertale just turned 11 and NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENEDlike no newsletter nothing
>>4114179Stupid fanfiction
>the rapeaversary was 24 days agoit feels like just yesterday...
>Kris remember when we climbed towers hunting ghosts?>Why don't we do that anymore?
>>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

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
