What purpose does it serve? It has an extremely bland setting, an awful engine graphic and art style, mediocre writing, weird map design, iffy combat, and itbis crammed with absolutely awful crowdfunding shit.Why did the team even waste their time, was it just a scam to make a salary?
>>4108366>woke woke woke wokeness woke pronouns not woke woke woke reddit spacingit's not even that, I skimmed through it and the latter half is actual word salad
>>4129158>Wrath runs into the problem of it being their second game where they decided to balance it like absolutely everyone will have played and mastered kingmaker.Dunno, it didn't feel too hard. And I'm a shit player who just tries to power through hard encounters instead of thinking about clever tactics/spells/countermeasures and who exclusively uses consumables in shops to get more money. If you use consumable and rest often you will definitely have easier time.>Turn based chaff fights can be too lenghtyIt should really be played in real time most of the timeMy advice is - the game introduced animal companion riding as one of its unique features, prepare to use it as much as possible (no companion has a companion by default, but many can have one via reclassing if they start low-level, or by later class and mythic rank options). Having more than 1-2 mounts tips the difficulty balance a lot.And it's fucking fun.
>>4129243That just the system which I hate because of its autism, too.Story and setting are great.
>>4108654They are all good with strengths and weaknesses.Deadfire has various silly decisions like forcing in ship combat that is just a lame and tedious minigame you can luckily skip (and be retarded by more loot, props to the creators for knowing it was a bad idea and not punishing players).PoE 1 had stupid Fortress minigame mechanics.Both games are shittily trying to balance in wrong places (no combat XP for you, that is so 20th century!) while being trivially easy to break - just hand in quests solo with all the party members temporarily sent to a tavern, you will overlevel like crazy (and you can also not level up and you gain XP even faster, kek).Deadfire feels rushed/undercooked in places, they abandoned some stuff, like fleshing out part of the companions. Technically it is rather dated game, with high-res screen the clash between the sharp 3D critters and the pre-rendered bakground that isn't high-resolution enough (tragic mistake that they didn't render it in higher res when the still had the assets do to that).I would call it the best game out of the four, it's no clearly above the quality of the other 3.

I've been getting back into this game recently, I used to play PWs like Ravenloft and others but I want to play a singleplayer campaign, I heard the Wailing Death it's not so good, any module I should consider for a longterm campaign? Hitting high levels and all that.
>>4140399>Immunity: Sneak AttackHi :)
I'm flabbergasted that there still are no mods that add an actual working dialogue window instead of the tiny popup in the upper left corner.
>>4140399That just means you're not playing the infinity engine games optimally. You don't have less control over your characters in those games, you just have more dudes to control.
>>4130534Genuinely fascinating, I'm nearly sure that 99% of the playerbase even back in the day simply never realized that those are things.It's not even anyone's fault, due to almost all content before and since ranging from the OC to modules not having this level of autistic puzzle depth that rewards you for trying things.
I'm playing through SoU, and chose to give Drogon just the Tower statue because I thought I could hear extra dialogue by giving them one by one. Turns out, I actually just kept the others without the choice to hand them over later, leaving me with 9 extra chaotic points.I'm not too concerned about this as my character is chaotic neutral, but I don't think I would have made that choice if I knew that would happen. Is there anything more that'll happen for having made that choice, or is it just RP, and now I have some fun new toys to play with?

When will atlus move on from this system? It was a good combat system but they more or less have exhausted everything they could from it by SMTV.
>>4144626I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate instead of making shitposty one line posts.
>>4144622Just finished SMTV as my first SMT game, and this system is so lame. If you walk in with a random party you'll be destroyed, but if you build around the elemental weaknesses the boss barely gets to act and you steamroll with no tactics or strategy.Though in the second half of the game you can build a permanent party of debuffer (basically anyone with debilitate and support potential), healer+buffer (basically, Sakuya), and 2 physical/almighty attackers (Yoshitsune, Agrat, Artemis, Murakumo MC etc) and steamroll anyway because crits give press turns just the same, breaking the entire design philosophy of the game.
>>4144677> if you build around the elemental weaknesses the boss barely gets to act and you steamroll with no tactics or strategy.Wow it's almost as if this is the backbone of SMT or something.
>>4144677Play IV, it's much better.
>>4144677Try Soul Hackers or Strange Journey.
Is this a misunderstood masterpiece like Majora's Mask or is it rightfully hated for being shit?
>>4134817It's a solid game from start to finish and it gets better as you unlock more progression mechanics, like the Ant Colony, which is the best Faerie Village in the entire series.
You need to treat Dragon Quarter like a Roguelite and not like a true Breath of Fire game. Same with not using anything Dragon related because it speeds up the game over counter and it hitting 100% is a game over unless it happens in the final battle.
>>4143517Misconception. You can use the dragon form to kill every boss and even a lot of random enemies without hitting 100%. People just don't understand the game mechanics, which is consistent with their low IQ screeching.
>>4143517Oh no, you should absolutely use D-Dash on occasion, especially on a fresh save. Can use it to blast past tough encounters and save a bad situation in which your bait plan isn't working.Very low D-Gauge cost and a potential get out of shit card for far less gauge cost then having to completely fix a shit pull by transforming mid battle and using dragon attacks to right what was botched.
>>4144927This. Those fucking Element Lizards or whatever they are in the cramped hallway area can fuck right off. Zip past them and don't bother, because you WILL pay a fuck ton more in resources than a tiny smidge of D Counter.

>>4144636>>4144793also AI says it was never possible to be naked outside of inventory, which is how I remember it too.
>>4144798your ai is wrong. don't trust ai hallucination.
>>4144798>we were always at war with eastasia
>>4144815im trusting my memory and that AI confirmed it. I played the shit out of this game at launch while everyone was bitching up a storm. I am 99.9% sure you have never been able to be nude outside of inventory. I'm also sure I made a post about this saying it was fucking stupid on the 2077 forum. The only reason I might question it is because i smoke weed all day every day and im high as fuck 24/7. I never bank on remembering anything.
>>4144815>>4144897and fyi, its not like any of this matters anyway, because the AI doesn't care if you're naked, and the only time you would see it is when you look down or use the photomode. i want to say you might be naked in photomode, but i cant fucking remember that either and i was never really in to making photos so never really used it. but i might still argue that it was possible since i vaguely remember something about it being that way.
Let's play truth or dare. I'll start. Truth! What is your most impressive gaming achievement both inside & outside RPG gaming? I'll go first1. Outside RPG gaming I can bury Mike Tyson without the passwording whenever I feel the need to entertain visitors (passwording matters BIGLY NIGLY. It is in fact obviously far easier to score free throws in-between games during practice sessions than performing the same in a heated NBA Championship Match to paint a clumsy metaphor) if you catch my meaning sirs2. Inside RPG gaming (and about 100 times more impressive) I unlocked a Force Sensitive Character Slot in Star Wars Galaxies. I know guys, most of you anons here don't like playing MMOs, nor do I really. I too hate MMOing except for Lore-intensive RPGs like SWG, Tortanic and the ESO (ultimately crappy TES Lore but whatever I play it) related to other Lore crap for that matter. But SWG did the Lore right beyond perfection, NOBODY knew how to become a Jedi (or Sith) at launch, just as if we were truly living in the Star Wars Saga all desperately wishing we were Jedi-tier but had no clue where to begin. In that regard, SWG was the most Lore RPG ever. Peak Lore. No doubt about it! And leveling all characters on your top 120 JRPGs to 100 is no big feat btw unless your patience/autism count as a feats, no?Do not even bother daring me to post pictures of myself on /vrpg/ I'll refuse your wishful terms because a test thread is not worth risking doxing my Guild on 4chan. Anonymity is useful on my current mission
>>4135720>im a genius>ask yourself this: if my subjective opinion of something is positive, then how could it possibly be anything other than objectively good?What common core does to a MF
>>4136489>tasteless American tries to judge aspiring art based on objective metrics, instead of the experience it invokes, and the extent to which it matches the artist’s intentYou can have money, but you’ll never have taste. A person like you would walk through Opéra Garnier and believe it’s inferior to his skyscraper, because the skyscraper is taller, it can fit more people, and has a bigger parking lot. How embarrassing.
>>4134612>BG3 is a good game, but it is not art>>4136643>judge aspiring art based on objective metrics, instead of the experience it invokes, and the extent to which it matches the artist’s intentFrom “BG3 isn’t art” to “BG3 is art” in only two posts. This is what happens when fools like you don’t have any principles or sincere thoughts, but are simply arguing for the sake of being disagreeable.
>>4137394He's also consistently bad at interpreting art, even when appropriating it as a lifestyle brand.
>>4136643>America>TastelessWhat fucking country do even you live in, Milo? Grow a quad and tell us the truth now. Have you ever even been to America? I've never been to Egypt or Singapore for example so I have no right to call Singaporeans or Egyptians tasteless pre-judgmental retards. You have no Goddamn right to call Americans tasteless pre-judgmental retards going by that logic. Happy Halloween assholes. I suggest we ALL pop in our spookiest RPG while consuming as much candy & alcohol as Humanly possible in International celebration my children>>4137416Nothing worse than a foreigner who can't interpret Western art properly.

>>4135304Lol I wasted an entire day grinding then. Fuck lmao
anyone play this?
>>4120300I dropped it just because I hate the perspective of the battle scene
>>4120102>>4120300There is nothing more embarrassing, and obviously nostalgia-chasing, than RPGmaker games and JRPG's made by westerners, specifically indie games.
>>4120102it's really good, and so are a couple of the dev's other SRPGs, Voidspire Tactics and Kingsvein (Alvora is kinda meh)Which one of those you're going to like the best depends on what you're looking for. Kingsvein is the most focused on the battle strategy part, with a tighter difficult curve, while Voidspire and Horizon's Gate are respectively trimmed and broad versions of a more varied and exploration focused experience.>>4120160I played this but got sidetracked partway in. Art is good but other than that it was just "ok" and looked like it was going in a direction where it was going to squander it's own narrative.>>4120300Haven't played this, but I did play Shadows of Adam and wasn't impressed at all. Game pulls the "remember FF6?" card too often.>>4128037>How many of the games have you actually played?>How many have you heard of?uhh, off the top of my head I forget most of what's even in this aside from CrossCode and Cosmic Star HeroineComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>4139437I hate that aesthetic more like nothing else in RPGs. At least put on some good shaders to actually emulate the 16 bit looks ffs. The game has to be extraordinary for me to check it out
>>4120300I was really excited for this one because I heard they got Patrick Holleman for it and I really admired his Reverse Design write ups way back in the day. That's part of why I was so let down by Quartet because I had such high expectations going in.The writing is the worst bit of the game. By the time the game gets through introducing all the characters and getting the team formed to get started with the plot, the plot is almost practically over. Instead of having a grand adventure across 4 huge dimensions, we have 4 teeny-tiny dimensions that don't have a lot of content to them and there's just not much to do once you get the freedom of the airship. Cordelia is a Mary Sue and in the devs rush to make her "the best character ever" they actually create a plot hole. Just when it looks like she's in trouble and in need of outside help with the bandits she casts a dark magic curse that nearly gets her allies killed while murdering all the bandits, because she's just so skilled and needs no help from nobody apparently. This entire scenario is undermined later when it's revealed that Cordelia is just so completely skilled and is basically god's gift to the world of magic because she knows and has known plenty of dark magic spells as it turns out all along. So that means instead of needlessly almost killing her allies way back when with the bandits she could've been far more sensible with her use of dark magic and turned her enemies' flesh to glass or just stolen their souls. The side quests are far too often unfulfilling. Like the hippo has this personal quest to follow the trail of her lost herd. The trail leads to a dead end, you get a reward for completing the quest, but you walk away from it unsatisfied.Unsatisfying is the best word I could use to describe the game. A lot of potential, but still unsatisfying.
I'm going to play Baldur's Gate 1 for the first timeAny tips?
>>4141499>jester is funny in the first gameThere was no jester in the first game (or any other kits)
>>4140504Bard is S tierLuck is brokenYou are retardedBard levels very fast so more wizard levels which means more skins on stone skin, more damage on damge spells etc. Bards are prob best mage tanks. Blade is better and more fun tho.
>>4141530I find Bard more fun. With worse singing, lore, and pickpocket, a Blade will spend more time being a fighter/mage rather than a bard, the versatile jack of all trades.

I thought you could download older versions of the Enhanced Editions on gog, but I was looking for v1.4 of Icewind Dale EE, and the only versions I'm seeing on gog are patches for v2.5 to v2.6.6. Am I just remembering incorrectly?
sorry i couldn't find a thread up, but can we discuss the ending??which did you choose anons? and why did you choose it?obviously this is all spoilers, so if you didn't beat the game and want to play it then don't enter this thread, you've been warned
>>4118534based
>>4118713the ending is choosing between a single family and a whole universe
>>4118265Verso, but honestly I dont really mind if Maelle got her way, as long as she gives Verso the death he wanted.
Maelle did nothing wrong. I imagine that if I was forced to live forever I would be sad too but painted Verso needs to take a chill pill. If he dies then everyone dies. The family are basically all gods and the painting is like earth.
I know you guys are talking about story, but I really think this is the sort of game that radically plays different from player to player. I figured out a strategy to spam Lune's Elemental Genesis every turn, so it just got to the point where I could constantly nuke everything to death. Also, I basically disregarded Parrying; I stuck with doing Dodges because the timing is much more generous. As a result, I blew through most fights on a single attempt. Ever since beating the game, I've watched other people play and nobody seems to realize how broken Lune is and they spend 10+ attempts on every boss trying to learn how to Parry all of their attacks. I really find it astonishing people can play this game so differently than each other.
