What am I in for? Should I use this to make my game, instead of RPG Maker?
>>3982266WM aside, you have somewhat suboptimal stats, but it won't brick your character. Ideally you want 14 starting CHA because RDD levels bring it to 16 and unlock the final spell levels. With your current stat spread I would even delay RDD to epic levels and be a bard 16/fighter 4 or a bard16/champion of Torm 4 at level 20. But it's too late for that, now the only way to get 4 attacks per round is bard 12/rdd4/high BAB class 4
>>3982291You will be stuck with 3 attacks per round that way because both Bard and RDD are 3/4 BAB and you stop getting more attacks after level 20. You aim for at least 16 BAB at level 19 or 20.Your current BAB is +3 from Bard and +1 from RDD. If you go Bard 5/RDD 10 you will have BAB 10. 5 levels of CoT will get you another 5, so you are 1 short.And alternating between advancing Bard and RDD is a bad idea even if you disregard BAB issue because of how much RDD increases your attributes. Do what >>3982359 suggests if you want maximum damage in the endgame, or rush RDD 10 and then go with CoT if you want easier midgame.
I didn't know we talk character builds here, nice.>horror modulesAre there decent horror modules>campaigns 2025/26Any new story campaigns?
>>3984657>Are there decent horror modulesAny module with vanilla tilesets, they are giving me a squarephobia.
>>3984693lol>>3984657How does one even invoke horror in a topdown RPG? I'm genuinely curious because I've been reading a lot of Ravenloft source-books.
I was only 15 when this came out. Was super excited for it. A whole new expansion pack for my favorite RPG. Fuck yes, rushed to the store to get it ASAP.And what do you know? It's a glorified sewer level. That's it. You can't leave the city. There is no open world. No rolling hills, no Morrowind mainland.Yep, the thing that made the main game popular is not in the expansion pack. All you get is a sewer with goblins, and another sewer with automatons.What the fuck happened? At least Bloodmoon was decent.
>>3979922Shut the fuck up, clanker.
>>3953994they *all* suck.
>>3953952Morrowind is the only good game Bethesda ever made. Fallout 4 is also good, but needs a ton of mods and is not to be treated as an rpg.
>>3954408Dragonborn is basically peak form TES in a small, expansion pack sized portion. Shivering Isles is a close second. It really feels like the team put out their best work in them, after learning all the ins and outs with the base game first.
>>3984591Dragonborn and SI both sucked. Vanilla Skyrim and vanilla Oblivion were better than either, and vanilla Morrowind was better than those.
The best rpg experience (basically an Isekai experience) of my life, hands down, has been permadeath runs in MGO SkyrimVR (one click install) with three simple additional mods. Namely, CHIM, climb anything, and deadly damage.I wake up as a bandit, somewhere in the woods, or maybe as a filthy warlock in a cave. Or a simple farmer out in the hills. Regardless, I stroll around, talk to people with my actual voice, and they talk back using CHIMs local LLM and built-in voice synth mod and facial animations.I'll collect some companions, do odd jobs and quests, and they'll banter in the background. Sometimes I chip in and we have a lovely back and forth. The local LLM also controls their behavior so like, starting fights or singing or dancing or following or just anything, really. Brawl is classic. So you have to mind your manners. The graphics are stunning. And I love throwing a two handed weapon into someone's head and they die instantly (deadly damage mod). But I also die easily, legendary difficulty for realism. And I start again, a new adventure.It's a one of a kind niche loop, but I can't find anything better than it. I'm just posting here in case someone is interested because I kind of wish more people knew how peak this is. This isn't an ad for MGO btw, if you have a better VR modpack/community I'd love to know, but at the moment I believe it is the best option.
>>3964349I don't believe you. VR sucks to have on for more than an hour and a half tops. And discussions with LLM's are only entertaining for a few minutes. Sure, you might've had your "WOW THIS IS AMAZING" moment for a few hours, but this is not something anyone would enjoy doing for a long period of time.
>>3964349Can you give orders to followers? I've been enjoying having Teldryn as my bro, and this VR snd LLM thing sounds like next level shit to try in the future.
How can we stop this? When will it end? how many indians has he hired to make these threads?
>>3964349How does the LLM mod work? Is there a guide for installing it? Is it on nexus?
>>3982404>6700xt>You're fine, retard. You can run a models that are more than capable for this purpose, unless I'm misunderstanding the scope of what the LLM is doing for this mod.Do you seriously think that? Because i keep reading that you need a 4090/5090 gpu for the local LLM and using AMD instead of nvidia means going automatically 50% slower. It's hard to find someone who benchmarked this with a mid level graphics card. Fuck, you're going to make me reinstall the game and try it. I might even buy it after 3 or 4 thousand hours
this game and its prequel make me irrationally angry like no other. so many compromises that make it completely dogshit just to stay true to a relatively bad ttrpg ruleset. "oh it's dogshit because people that play ttrpgs are dogshit at playing their characters and GMs are dogshit at telling stories, so it's authentic" it's not a homebrew tabletop session, it's a multimillion dollar production, they're not your friends, they do not get the grace of that crutch. why are so many gamers willing to patronize them? it's like every bad crpg design choice of the last 30 years amplified for zero upside.
>>3979735What's wrong with s2ea? Looks a lot like bg3. S1 is too cheaply produced, which is baffling, as the French fucks had more than enough cash. The gameplay vid of S2 looks good.
How many times have you posted this thread now?
you know people act like dunmer enslaving argonians is this super racist thing that proves they're evil but its actually the most moral neutral form of "racism" in tamriel.Argonians are all already born as part of a hivemind controlled by the hist, they don't have free will, how can you even enslave something without a free will? Even when they raid morrowind its not as a revange for slavery like redditors think but because the hist saw an oprtunity and commanded them to do it, with is another prove that dunmer taking their tools from them was completly justified.
>>3983216Dunno, seems contrived anyway, because argonian npcs you talk to don't seem to be a part of a hivemind.
>>3983800That's not how it works.
>>3983216Argonian hivemind works more like a collective unconscious than an actual hive, like a noosphere. Also Dunmer are evil because they live in a low trust society of their own making with legalized murder, literal slums everywhere, and engage in demon worshiping cults at high rates
>>3984485So kind of like literally everyone else because Daedra are worshipped in all cultures more or less openly if not the really bad ones, legalized murder or quasi legalized murder is present with bretons, nords, orcs, altmer, redguards and bosmer to some extend, slums are part of every major hold in every culture and Bretons, Redguards and Almter all also have low trust societies due to political schemeing while Khajit literally have no concept of law at all.
>>3984509>Daedra are worshipped in all cultures more or less openlyNo? This isn't true at all
>"COPIES ARE MONOCHROME, BUT YOU ARE COLORED US IN WITH CARE">still monochromeIs Toby stupid?"
I'll startFFV is the only Final Fantasy that still holds up extremely well all around, at least in its original version
>>3984161>>3984166>>3984233
>>3984297You're responding to at least two different anons here (I am the first of three posts you quoted). I realize that I'm very likely talking to a generation of zoomers who haven't actually played FF7, but if you'd bother to read the screencap in the third post you quoted, it quite thoroughly demolishes your position.>inb4 no counter-argument at all, just screeching "BAIT" yet again because you don't want to admit you're wrong
>>3984312Lrn2Read.Last nibble you get. Begone.
Her name is basically pronounced Aeris in Japanese.It also just sounds better.It never needed to change.

What is /vrpg/ opinion on the Octopath Traveler series
He'a so cool..
I've been playing 0 and the storytelling's genuine dogshit. It's like they look for "alright now make it 5x as long by inserting pointless tragedies". Bargello's worthless and the other two initial storylines aren't very good. Master of All is stretched to fuck. Bestower present you with the guy you've got to kill and then you spend four hours getting yapped at and trekking everywhere before you finally get to actually kill them. Bestower of All is just trying to make me give a shit about Sazantos when I never have and never will.Gameplay's been repetitive ever since I got the Forbidden Bow on my Merchant too but whatever.
>>3957884>expecting shit enix not to cut cornersretard
>>3978191Cope
>>3974540Sazantos is just whiny millenial sephiroth but his themes are fucking bosshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTfWAAFICKcthey're like the first 20 minutes of this video lol
Post about fangames.Fangames you're making, fangames you like, stuff you've made for fangames you're making or like, etc.
>>3987257nice>ll probably only make one more edit but that I won't share hereOnly one anon was strictly against sharing it here, if you want others to see it just post it with a warning
>>3987186>Fuck it, catbox it and I'll pinch my nose and look at it. It was censored, right?You thought I drew Reynault porn? That's funny, but I couldn't do it even if I wanted to, my art skills are too limited for that sort of thing and I would be too embarrassed to post it here.
>>3987141This was awesome anon, has me smiling like an idiot after having to rush around all morning>>3987143I will face this pain unlimited times to spite said cruel god. Bis laughter will turn to pity after thousands of years of me vying to smooch the birdGood stuff though, I'm thankful you wrote it!
>>3987089KekStill comes across as meanspirited by Mooch, but it's definitely much more lighthearted.>>3987141>>3987143Nice stuff! I love cutesy writing like this and you did a good job of making it romantic.
>>3987257I enjoy the background anon, I was looking through my folder and saw the other valravn pic, and was wondering if this image would get a background too
anybody played this kino? i'm playing it right now, it's pretty fun
>>3978150>i played through once without a guide and it seemed complete and satisfying to me.yeah that's my point exactly, doing 1 run is definitely satisfying. my question is if doing 100% actually improves or worsens that experience, but obviously only people who did all the 4 routes can answer melike i think in the sage route there are aliens n shiet? imagine skipping that
>>3978154I just go through the route I go through for these kinds of games and that's it. Maybe on a replay a few years down the line I might do a different route. It's basically never fun to just immediately replay a long game after beating it.
ok i made codex translate the whole jp wikia in english, things should proceed smoother now
How does the romance work? Are the options based on gender and origin? Can i male Temple Orphan romance Fran?
>>3983766afaik the "romance" is like in dragon's dogma, but i haven't finished it yet

Downloaded this after finishing Sophie 2, and I don't really get this game.I'm on chapter 5, the lava painting, still using the starting equipment because anything I can make is trash, the effects are literally locked at half gauge, so even with decent catalysts I cannot make anything good. By now, the enemies have hundreds of HP and resist physical. So my only course of action is spamming bombs for like 60 dmg.How are you meant to play this? Yes, I've noticed I have a DLC fish in my container with the "one hit kill" trait, but I don't want to cheat.What is the intended progression? Why is everything locked 5 fucking chapters in?>basket size is only 50 (a single boulder drops 5-7 materials btw)>no bomb refills (though I've unlocked duplication at least)>armor/weapon materials are still at tier 1Thought this was one of the better Atelier games, and I don't want to be too harsh, but this is pretty awful compared to Sophie 2. Does it get good 30 hours in or some shit?
>>3983763Never played it, but if I had to guess, you are just retarded and suck at synthesis. Look up a guide or something.
>>3983768Fuck guides, I'll figure it out myself.Seems like the effect gauge is tied to your alchemy level but can be boosted via catalysts, I'm starting to cook something decent now.Well, never mind then. The game still sucks compared to Sophie 2 though.
You either love it, hate it, or are indifferent to it.
>>3980016Way better than those shit casts. The resident pedo is gonna have a meltdown.
>>3980016Pretty damn bad. Haven't played Berseria but people say it has some of the best part banter in the franchise. Xillia's cast is miles better than Graces', especially getting to see them again and how they've changed by Xillia 2.
>>3980016Story revolves around friendship (technically, coping with loss but friendship is very hamfisted) like a hot-blooded shounen.Everyone pretty much takes jabs at each other in groovy chat. Asbel and Cheria are usually the boring ones, but even they get their own jabs in.
>>3980018Context.
>>3962274I think the future arc is one of the best video game stories out there. But I also like the highlander story. Also the base game isn't that bad now that you can't defeat anything with the power of friendship anymore in modern stories because it's not edgy enough.
The 1 More system from the persona games is basically the best RPG battle system. -It's Dynamic-Rewards the player for not just mindlessly mashing "Attack"Just sucks the rest of the game is dog shit.
>>3980272Relying on the mc to handle all of the knockdowns is just being inefficient with your resources. You have 4 party members, MC's primary job is to fill in the holes that the others cant do.
>>3980127>Press Turn is just 1 more of a different flavorNo shit. Doesn't change the fact that the entire point of both systems is to reward you for understanding how character/team building works.
>>3981161>understanding how character/team building worksRock, Paper, Scissors.
>>3981174You wouldn't get the point if it broke through your wall like the kool aid man and beat you over the head.
>>3979552No it's not, they're the exact same system but adapted for the different turn systems.
Dudley's fix, baldurdash, tweaks anthology man... Every time I come back to the OG BG1 (every couple of years) I always gotta remind myself how to patch that fucking thing againMost old links being down doesn't really help. Do you guys run baldurdash fix pack or are those bugfixes included in the tweaks anthology bundle? Do you use any other mods like dudley's fix pack? I am thinking of maybe just running baldurdash and widescreen fix on the current playthrough..? Should I get the GOG version of the originals or just pirate the CD version? I just remembered there's plainab's fixpack too,
>>3967464I played through BG1/2/3 in the past couple of years. BG3 is -in nearly every way- the superior game out of those three. I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>3979680It's a good game but it's also a modern style game that leaves no room for imagination. Other recent games like PoE and Kingmaker made it inconvenient to have a custom party, but BG3 takes it even further. It also takes the in-universe handholding to the absolute extreme by having Jergal guide you. You can only top Jergal with Ao the Overgod, it's so fucking ridiculous. It's completely missing what D&D is about. I'm also tired of pretending that BG3 has replay value.
>>3979680>I am retarded and i have an opinionjust use nametag so i can hide your posts
