Going to play Morrowind for the first time, no mods. Want to wear heavy armor and just use a sword and shield, nothing fancy just John Elder Scroll. Breton or Imperial? Any other advice appreciated.
>>3870132Zero reason for races to interact, let alone species. Why not just genocide them, to take their land, and resources. Exterminate all the annoying fauna too, e.g. in Morrowind don't need giant floating insects roaming around in the world, and risking them mutating into something even more dangerous.
>>3870036>>3870131You can just turn it on, test if the lag is gone, then turn it off immediately. Currently playing with "Windowed Borderless Gaming", to avoid the stretching of texture, and so I can alt-tab without interruption.

>>3870127If you've played Morrowind you know that the Empire does not respect Morrowind's culture at all and the only reason they allowed some cultural practices to continue isn't because of some sort of civilizational virtue or equal to the Empire's culture. They are allowed to continue because the Empire's grip on Morrowind is weak so compromises had to be made and put up with.Though grave robbing isn't one the Empire virtues or values and they have no real complaints against how the Dunmer bury their dead, there's another more clandestine and nuanced reason of why you go raid that tomb and if it sticks out to you but you can't put the pieces together, talk to magic users and read the in-game books. It should be very obvious as to what is going on here.

>>3868731it's a pretty timeless look.
>>3869216nta and I highly disagree, I'd argue that some 80s aesthetics are timeless but I'd also say that they might not be and things are so bad and dystopian right now that I think a lot of people think its aesthetic or timeless due to nostalgia or just the whole idea that the 80s were a happier, simpler time. If we weren't living in a hellscape and culture didn't start to degrade, I would be willing to bet a lot of people would see it as outdated.

Every day is /mon/day, so let's talk about monster collecting and raising games!We had a nice thread last time, so let's keep this going >>3764902What are you playing? And what are you looking forward to?
>>3869428>We haven't even seen him do anything yetWell he is pretty much a navirou stand-in gameplaywise and storywise as far as they've shown. With a talking protagonist I guess rudy's spotlight will be smaller in comparison but I might be wrong.
>>3869276I don't think those are really Pokefags kek, more like falseflaggers
>>3869365Hasn't that "trend" been around for a long time now? It's not exactly new
>>3869534Dlcs yeah. Cutting content already in the game for dlc is the new thing.
>>3869583The new thing? That's been around as long as DLC has.
Is there a worse srpg gaming gimmick than archers getting fuck you range on the high ground?More often than not, its to your disadvantage. Is there a worse gimmick in srpgs than "start from below, you have to climb and in the meanwhile archers will pester you from afar and you barely have any places to move to protect yourself" maps?Vandal Hearts, Hoshigami, Tactics Ogre, Fire Emblem where archers have fuckton range, etc.
>>3863596All you storyfaggots are doing it wrong
>>3863869An astute reader will notice that the word "story" did not appear once in the post you're responding to, dipshit-san.
Just go back in time and murder the man who invented archery, easy
>>3863872Kek. Dipshit-san got a laugh out of me, thanks anon.
>>3863402No was a chapter in Hoshigami.Worse was since the archer gets experience per hit on my higher leveled characters, he was actually getting stronger and more annoying with each shot.

>>3868222Here's a link directly to the Prone Condition on the SRD where you can see for yourself:https://www.d20pfsrd.com/GAMEMASTERING/CONDITIONS/#proneSo as you can see, you can still do anything you want while you're Prone, basically, except for using bows. Crossbows are still functional while Prone (in fact, historically, most crossbows were meant to be used prone, using your feet to aim the device along your entire body, because you have a lower profile while on top of a fortification wall). You can still attack with a melee weapon. You can still cast spells. You can even still move, it just reduces the speed of your movement (normally you can spend a Move Action to crawl 5 feet while you're Prone, and unlike a 5-Foot Step, this would provoke an Attack Of Opportunity while you do so). There's a feat specifically for increasing your movement rate while you're Prone, which kind of condenses a lot of the relevant parts of the Combat rules, you can see it here:https://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/fast-crawl/TL;DR: you can act normally while Prone. You're just easier to hit and it's harder for you to hit others. You can still cast spells, you can still retrieve an item from your belt or whatever, you can still move, you can still talk to people, you can still control your character and you are not helpless. You have full Actions, you can do anything you want. Prone just slows your movement and alters your accuracy and AC while you're Prone.
>>3868231This is just stupidIf youre just a normal person while prone that whats the point?There should be a bigger penalty for being knocked prone
>>3869394Sweetheart... I don't know how to explain this to you, but most people are not incapacitated like beached whales while they are laying down. Most people are healthy enough to, like, move and stuff. What's weird and unrealistic is your notion that laying down somehow renders people helpless.
>>3869394Also, being prone is already severe enough as it is since it gives a massive bonus for enemies in melee to hit you, and they get an attack of opportunity against you when you try to stand up while they can reach you (there's ways to stand without provoking, but it's not default and usually expensive) and you basically can't get away from an enemy like that.
Early access has ended.
>>3865157sorry, you are very wrong, i'm straight and didn't mention anything about the game being bad because of some heterosexual bogeyman, which is the biggest tell he has.upgrade your farquaad detector. i'm probably the best at recognizing him on this board, so i can give you tips.
>>3864871>100 hours of rpgmaker slopSorry, even if it were the best story in the world it's plain not worth my time.
Estaven did nothing wrong
>>3864958agreemy problems with the game also comes with few other things>some characters arcs are just meh>lack of choice in some of the arcs/paths/story>lack of bro characters and allies, no, overdesigned orcs don't count, behead orcs
I wish this game was slightly less autistic. I genuinely can't bring myself to care about RPG maker combat enough to deal with the difficulty nor do I want to play with a guide. I remember thinking I got past the worst of it but by the time I got to this one tournament arc where the MC had to beat a bunch of orcs or something my fucks ran out and as interested as I was in seeing the story unfold the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze.
Tactical discussions of Ivalice Chronicles. Lover of the old FFT, but the new game has been rebalanced. How are we all adapting? I just started the game and have just rescued the Marquis.My old go to strategy was to teach every character teleport, which was a time mage skill for only about 600 jp. In the new one it costs 3000 jp. Talk about inflation. Now I'm stuck wondering if it's still worth it. Have any good surface based strategies you like? I'm tempted to just calculate everything, but I'm also worried they may have been rebalanced too.
>>3856870Is this game better than the original and PSP port?
>>3869097Original has more mods and slightly better sound effects.PSP port has some extra content but bad sound effects.This has some QoL changes and voice acting.I think it depends on how much you value voice acting and how much you are willing to mod the game. TIC is an acceptable version if you don't care bout the price.
>>3856870> 3000jpYou get what you fucking deserve. Teleport is also kind of shit since it fails. Great for height differences but trying to go farther than say move +3 would is just asking to go nowhere.
>>3864858Steal weapon completely disables most enemies. I think the rare stuff starts showing up with the rooftop battle after velius. They have rare accessories. Dycedarg has a blood sword at some point, which may be before this. The vampire from the rooftop shows up again later with a full set of unique gear. Later on alchemists show up with elemental guns. Not sure if they show up in random battles. These are all very limited in any case.Pretty sure the vampire has blade grasp so his block % is his bravery and it helps to reduce that first.
>>3856870I kept getting my ass kicked in this game man, I don't understand how come enemy black mages deal like 100 damage to my toons, I'm at level 15 and they're at 9, make it makes sense
What do you think of octopath traveler?

I want to play a Harvest Moon-esque game. Ideally 3D, doesn't need to have farming or combat. Any recommendations that's not fucking Stardew Valley?
Animal crossing? I played the first one as a kid and it was alright.
>>3863789Azure Dreams, modded using adrando.com>pseudo-3D>dating>no farming>turn-based combat>town buildingI just came in to post "Rune Factory 3 or 4" actually, but I'll be different and say Rune Factory Frontier after RF1
>>3868476How does adrando work? I went there and I am intrigued! Can I apply his to Azure dreams on my FPSE emulator?
How the hell did ConcernedApe NOT get sued into oblivion by Nintendo?
>>3869131It patches the .bin disc image on your machine according to the mods you've selected on top of the page and makes you "redownload" the patched .bin. You play it by pointing the emulator to the original .cue (your newly downloaded .bin must have the same name as before)It wants specific Redump-matching image, get it from myrient or from any other Redump collection (assuming you want to play the PS1 version).

what are the best fan translated jrpgs?
>>3869419Growlanser 1 got fan-translated recently
>>3869445Forgot pic related
I really liked Noora and the Time Studio for the DS. It's been fan translated for few years now but its a super niche game so few people know about it.The game itself is Atlus' take on an Atelier game, so its about cute moments with characters, crafting and a simple turn based combat system. I personally prefer the game's crafting system in comparison to its companions in the genre. The game is short too, you can knock it out in around 15 hours. Great graphics and music as well.The fan translation is pretty good, some minor fumbles in the sentences but those are rare. The game must have been a pain to translate since lot of the names and terms are actually in finnish, which tickled me as a fingolian myself.
>>3869419>what are the best fan translated jrpgs?FF5 emulated in the 90s.
3/4ths of the 7th Dragon games are fan TLs. The first game for the DS is a rough but fun game that staples Etrian's combat principles onto a linear 3rd person jrpg. The middle two for the PSP are more enjoyable and interesting in my opinion. They take place in modern Japan (in the far off year of 2020) and show normal people dealing with the dragon invasion. The combat is great, the visual design is nice and the soundtrack is top tier. Hatsune Miku is also in the game and finding her unlocks a vocaloid version of the soundtrack that replaces every song with a vocal arrangement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syQ8X-4ZCFohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2UYf-j60G4
I'm an Archer at heart. regardless of how weak the party member is I just cant resist having one or being one if its single player,what are the best RPGs for this itch that I must scratch?
>>3868194I honestly didn't know archery was about jumping around. >>3868207>doesn't know about punctuationRough deal, bub.
>>3868257Sorry about your failure to punctuate correctly, anon.
Condescending fktards ruin this board.
Dragon Age Origins. Can roleplay as an Archer, and you can even impregnate an NPC. Wish more RPGs allowed you to impregnate your party members.
>>3864443Unicorn Overlord has party members and generics you can recruit, who fight with Bows or Crossbows.
Is it worth playing?
>>3864642>>3864678I should note that it is possible to be very strong and capable, and give off an air of confidence, but have it ultimately be a front that breaks down when your mental weakness comes into play.
>>3864716X-2 has good ideas, but hides them behind side quests and leave them underdeveloped. It's weird.
>>3864716>be me>play 1-10 + tactics>love 10, though recognized it marked the end of the series I loved l>drop series and stop playing FFsFeels good man.
>>3864716Not everyone plays rpgs for story or cutscenes man
>>3851660listening to old sbfp podcasts has also got me interested in playing these.i need to know just how bad the ending is in context of the story as a whole.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oB2ywJ-VLQ
for me it'sfallout 1> fallout 2 = fallout new vegas > fallout 3
>>3869349>Overuse of humour that hurts the atmosphere, some questionable lore addonsSounds like Fallout 2I never said that, i think most of the people who complain about fallout 2 humor never even played the game since they use screen shots of a few non canon random encounters and not the part where you meet tim hanks and get brainwashed into believing Scientology Like 2 has retarded humor but fags never actually target the really stupid shit i can only assume they never got that far. > >Bad gunplay and boring walking sim gameplay.New VegasI never said 3 was a walking simI said it not having iron sights or a bunch of cool unique weapons with unique weapons skins to hunt down made it a subpar shooter I think the gunplay in nee vegas is fine>unbalanced stats leading to same-y builds, and same-y looking environmentThe issue witb 3 is that builds don’t exist you dense retard. Go ahead and look though the perk list, you have a few vat perk, bsd perks thst do almost nothinf, and a shit ton of boring skill up perks. theirs literally nothing and skills don’t matter. The damage increase is small and the non combat skills are easy to work around. Seethe Bethesda drone, 3 was bad and all of you fags praising it have not played it in a decade. Go cry about new vegas being more relevant like todd
Like i just replayed fallout 3 after being in a fallout mood and it is genuinely one of the worse “rpgs” i ever sat though. The game gets worse the more time passes, it was my introduction to fallout like most people and its just not good lol. We just didn’t have anything else in 07 I don’t even know why they bother to raise the level cap i was bored at level 12 You’re shitty whataboutism when the “issues” you have are pretty much made up or minor for the west coast games change nothingF3 still had a shitty main quest thats like 3 dungeons that play out the same everytime Tranquility lane the peak of the quest line is a 1 and done for life Few side questsNo unique skinsFucked speech checksNo roleplayingVery few perksNo traits Skills barely matter difference between 100 and 20 skill is like 3 more damage.A really just terrible world like if you talk to a fallout 3 retard and never played the game you would think the game map was just megaton downtown and tenpenny because the rest of the map is boring.Every aspect brought in from the classic games is done worse.The dlcs are actually just miserable only the pitt and pointlookout are playable without taking extended breaks from being bored. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>38609761 > 4 > 3 > 2 = NV
>>3869381bait used to be believable
>>3869377Also I can’t wait for the eventual fallout 3 remaster like oblivion prob coming for the 30th anniversary when all the basedmen who will post for months with chad pictures talking about their favorite childhood video game that thought they played more than they actually did.When they stop talking about it like 3 days later just like oblivion because both games suck dickBethesda is a bad game studio Guess what daggerfall is ass too, i don’t care what youtube retards say.“Hurr durr when you mod in a bunch of content and ignore a lot of shitty parts of daggerfall its actually pretty cool” Morrowind is also just okay, its fine. It being interesting makes up for a lot of its shortcomings
this is actually a masterpiece that rivals 1 and 2 and actually bests them in many ways
>>3868686fuck off Emil
>>3868031>needs druggie eceleb to tell him what to thinkmud golem, no independent thought just enough presence of mind to register commands
>>3867875>to all inspiring mod makers, have someone who never really played the original try your contentI would think total conversion mods aren't really for people who wouldn't touch the original, it kinda misses the point
>>3869173I would assume the point is to be its own game in a mod form that just uses another game as its building point.I want to like a lot of these and rom hacks which have tons of love and passion poured into them but the issue is that they are made by people who non stop played the originals usually making them annoyingly difficult in comparison to the source forgetting that 99% of people are not them. Im just saying if you want people to actually see your work, you can’t do half of the shit people do in these things. The one i got the furthest in was Olympus 2207 enjoying its intro quite a hit until i left the first area and suddenly radiation was everywhere I rather just go play something else, and if fallout 1/2 had that much radiation everyone would have said the same to those games 25 years ago
>>3869116thank you saar
