well hello there
>>3700864This too. They've got a good week window before Avowed, which will p. much supplant all discussion of KCD2 when it releases.
>>3700867>which will p. much supplant all discussion of KCD2 when it releases.because of how bad it will inevitably be?
>>3700869Sure, either it's great and people fight about it or it's shit and people laugh about it. Fanboys and haters will go wild either way. Obsidian gets far more discussion around vidya spaces because they've got a rep, for good and ill. KCD2 is just hoping to squeak through before Avowed drops.
>>3700872That's funny, because KCD1 sold way better than any Obsidian RPG since New Vegas, which wasn't even their IP and they got no royalties from it.The most successful Obsidian game is Grounded, which is pretty sad for what was supposed to be a based RPG company.Players like to treat them like these legendary RPG makers, but no one actually plays their games.
>>3701070we have pillars threads all the time. kcd is only for people who really aren't that into rpgs, like tes.
What's the difference between a spellsword, battlemage, sorcerer, and nightblade?
>>3700865Spellswords literally always used medium armor in every TES game up until Oblivion which was also... the game that dumbed down and simplified the skills and removed medium armor from the game.Battlemage is a bit more ambiguous and subjective since there is conflicting canon. Mechanically, the games before Morrowind had them in light armor, while the lore behind them had them as heavily-armored warriors. Morrowind had them in proper heavy armor, which imo fits the thematic concept of the class better. Picrel shows an Imperial battlemage from your own example of Oblivion, wearing the same heavy armor as any other legionary, minus the helmet, and also shows the concept art of the battlemage from Battlespire, who is also clearly wearing heavy armor.
>>3697933depends on the setting
>>3697933In my understanging: battlemage is mage with heavy iron and some light weapon of choice without shield
>>3697964>Fucking pajeet from v discovers new boardsPro tip: you are not welcome here
>>3697933>nightbladeever played dishonored? If you want this archetype you play dishonored.>spellswordEver got your hands on demons scar in Dark Souls 3? Yeah a sword that acts as a catalyst for casting magic(well pyromancy in this case) and being able to change the shape of that magic sword to do various different moves and also use it to cast magic is a perfect spellsword archetype imo.>sorcererVaried definitions depending on the setting but I like the takes where it refers to a person that possesses innate magical bloodline and thus unlike a wizard they don't really study magic to use it they can use it instinctively. Of course it also depends on their bloodline when it comes to which magic they really specialize in. These archetypes are common in recent games like pathfinder series BG3 etc.>battlemageI see it very commonly refer to warlocks and being just another name for warlocks although in elder scroll series its just a dude with heavy armor running around bashing things+using magic.

Let's talk about horizon's gate and the other games from the devThe best one is still Voidspire tactics, almost uninstalled HG because I hate the idea of a large fleet but been managing with 5 people and one ship so farTeam is composed ofMe, the hammer and shield warriorThe lance throwing prologue guyArcherFire + Ruin mageMonk

>>3699664Last year I played through Kingsvein and was so impressed by it that I decided to play backwards through the entire "series"At the end of it all, I think Kingsvein has the best level design. Obtuse secrets feel properly rewarding instead of containing a single essence gem.And has the best encounter balance of the bunch. Simplifications to the systems like removing Def and making HP the only survivability stat probably helped in designing a tight difficulty curve.Mechanics wise I just wish it kept the CT system instead of changing to be Player Phase -> Enemy PhaseI can understand why people dislike the locales though. The scenery of Graven is monotonous, especially compared to the varied locations in the other games. Horizon's Gate has a bunch more stuff going on than the rest of the titles in the series but the lack of focus means the systems aren't as well nailed down. Trade is suppose to be a huge part of the game, but the trade goods system is really rudimentary and it's almost without risk.With a couple exceptions (sunken tower, postgame dungeon) I thought level layouts were way less interesting than in Kingsvein. tho, the visual variance is certainly way better.The romance of the open seas is cool the first time you go everywhere, but return trips, which you'll be making quite a few of for trade reasons, add considerable playtime.Alvora can be skipped, it's important the dev made it as a testing ground for systems changes, most notably augmenting gear, but it really feels like a paid beta version of Horizon's Gate.content.Voidspire surprised me with how right they got it on the first attempt. After Alvora I thought this was going to be even more rudimentary and linear, but the exploration and level design is actually really good.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>3700294I completely agree with this sentiment. Horizons Gate, especially with mods, is an incredibly enjoyable experience. I actually find myself preferring it over Kingsvein, though to be fair, I probably haven’t given Kingsvein as much of a chance as it deserves. Perhaps it’s time for me to revisit it and see how it measures up
>Enemies deal 0 damage>But you also deal 0 damageWhat a horrible design. Fights come down to just gradually chipping away at the enemy's health while never being in danger.
>>3700918Why did they go from Korean soap opera to anime?
So the trailer came out, ex witcher devshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DauErLT3OH0Thoughts?
>>3700618Who's butthurt? Game could be good, or it could be bad. Has a decent premise and the Witcher 3 directory, so the game has potential. Hopefully they don't fuck it up. If it's bad, it's bad, but nothing in the trailer screamed bad to me.
>>3700763>the Witcher 3 directoryYeah, W3 fucking sucked.
>>3700765You're free to have that opinion, but it's a universally liked game. You're in the minority for not liking it.
>>3700802And?
>>3700873There is no and. Just stating a fact.
>16 hours in>story has been very hit or miss>gameplay is mediocre at best>interested enough to want to know more>not sure if interested enough to keep playingDoes xenogears get better? I'm at the part right after becoming the battling champion and before what seems to be an imminent purge on Kislev by Gebler, and it's really getting tough to keep going bc everything feels so inconsistent. There are moments where it's great and the story is interesting and the mysteries make me want to know more, and then it'll be sidetracked for an hour or two by clunky gameplay or story that is just shit, like a hamfisted fighting game or sewer level exploration, when i just fucking want to know the next bit of the actual story
>>3700410Xenogears is legitimately much more enjoyable when you take the game at face value, and not get hung up with all the hebrew and freud shit. 90% of all the technobabble and name drops don't add anything to the game, and it could have been replaced with some other made-up name that fit the lore/worldbuilding better.
>>3700462I don't know what to say beyond "filtered."
>>3700790bruh, Xenogears is my favorite game of all time.
>>3700794Okay?
>>3700790impressed by a lacan namedrop, real top shit
I finished Visions of Mana 100 percent today after about a month of playing it on and off for a month. >GameplayHonestly my only complaint was that there really was no need to swap characters out except for certain key battles. >ArtstyleEh, the Chinese had too much influence this time around and made everything too ideal; there were no freaks or weirdos like in all previous titles. Nobuteru Yūki or Shinichi Kameoka should have had full reign. I was honestly shocked when Julei was said to be a sproutling, he was just a kid in a costume not a flower being. I wish it had been like Legend of Mana where everyone was a fucking oddity and not a generic human or furry.>StoryIt was honestly a shittier version of FFX's and that girl dying for good honestly left a shitty taste in my mouth. The story made it seem as though folks could be revived from core stones.
>>3699527Gameplay is almost decent, art is ugly and world building non existent.Mechanics are cool, albeit there are too many jobs.
>>3699531this is honestly the dullest mana world yet.The Chinese fuck up everything they touch.
>>3699894Why did se outsource to the enemy? Lol, lmao even.
>>3700627They are hard pressed for 3D modelers, I didn't think they would let entirety of the art direction be sourced to them.

>We want the white female audience
>>3697621Yes but what else was there?Kaiden was a boy scout, Thane had cancer and Jacob was a nigger.
>>3697653meant his personality (combined with gamers being degenerates) made him popular
>we want the i can fix him audience>but instead of letting the player do that they instead just have his quest be an i can fix him girl vs I can make him worse girlI think this was the biggest missed opportunity romance wise in KM (other than amiri). theres a market for muh dark and brooding good guy that just needs the right girl, and its definitely bigger than whoever reg(and octavia) was supposed to appeal to.
>>3697621Garrus had some bad boy aspects in ME2. Which does give him some overlap with Astarion and Solas.

>>3698126>His name is Abdel AdrianImagine being this wrong.
>>3697207It wasn't that bad before tbqh. Veilguard made it 10 times worse with his Mythal simping. No idea why they did that other than easier to write or the lead writer hates Solavellans that much
>We want the white male audience
>>3697090it's a joke about how shallow her character is
>>3696019Not a love interest

"Pillars of Eternity was chock-full of writing styles which experienced writers tend to advise against," he said, his nose twitching. He glances to the left, then the right, then up, then down. You notice one of his sleeves is a slightly different shade to the other. "In fact, you could say that the writing of Pillars 1 was bloated, and constantly interrupted the flow of -" he paused, yawning loudly and scratching his backside with a lazy pawing motion - "dialogue. Like people don't need to know - " time seems to slow, and you feel that once upon a time in another life, this man was a farmer "- a bunch of useless details to get an understanding of who a person is. Where you meet a person and how they speak can communicate it with good writing." He said, wearing a rag-tag tunic, frayed pants, and with a slightly unkempt beard, hinting that he was some sort of peasant.
>>3700894>Can you explain to me how you can't do that in PoE?You can but it works far better in D&D.The pillars attribute system offers no improvements over the standard D&D formula.>You could pretty much replace might with power and it would be fine, Yes that's the point.It shouldn't work that way and it would make more sense for resolve to affect spiritual strength than to have an attribute that affects both physical feats and magic.>yet anyone who under the English language knows I'm not just talking about strength here. You have to be 18 or older to post here.>Each attribute actually means something to every unitYes it means that Sawyer was so obsessed with balancing that he created a system that simply isn't fun and sucks to RP in.>Wrong. Whoever created dexterity-based archery clearly did not understand physics.Maybe you should stop talking shit about something you clearly never played.Some bows did give a damage penalty and a damage buff depending on the users strength.The dex is meant to represent the users accuracy and their ability to hit vulnerable parts of the target.The gameplay justification is to stop one stat from affecting too many things,something Sawyer clearly didn't understand.>yet intelligence should be pretty fucking important for everybody. In fact, intelligent fighters are a classic idea that goes bad to ancient times. And there are feats for int fighters and no an invalid will never make a good fighter no matter how intelligent they are.>The hero always beats the retarded, yet insanely strong monster by outsmarting it a lot of the time.

>>3700917Pfft, at least I outed you for being a giant faggot. >he created a system that simply isn't fun and sucks to RP in.Maybe your IQ is just too low to figure it out. Ya got too many worms diggin' through your brain from taking it up the ass. PoE isn't D&D, mate. It isn't even trying to be D&D in the sense of its roots as P&P. It's almost entirely combat focused. If you can find one mechanic that isn't balanced through a combat filter, then you just found the exception that proves the rule. You're looking at PoE and saying "it's not what I like about like D&D, so it sucks". Get over it, mate. It ain't D&D. Besides, you're contradicting yourself a little too much. I think you are a little too emotionally invested in your position on PoE to actually see what's going on here. "He made it unbalanced!" "He made it too balanced!" You sound like a woman, aka a raging homosexual. Your complaints literally boil down to "I just don't like it", yet you're trying to argue it is inherently flawed when it's just different and you can't adapt. Last I checked Deadfire sold plenty well and you are the only person I've ever heard complain the stats don't make sense. Everyone that I've seen complains it was either 1) made by some people I like to make fun of or 2) pirates aren't my thing.
Your favourite class?
>>3701285Pillars probably has my favorite iteration of paladin. D&D and pathfinder would be so much more interesting if Paladin was just a term for a zealous warrior of a particular deity and only had to follow the covenants and inclinations of that particular deity.

>>3700741Few moments in gaming have such grand sense of progression as being able to effortlessly rape things that used to rape your character back at the beginning of the game.
>>3700761but rape is just a boring and drawn out animation in vidya. killing is at least quick. sounds like you don't value your time.
