Jesus, this isn't a "phone game". it's a PC game first that was recently ported to phone. OP was a dumbass in highlighting this irrelevant point.

why are retards here triggered about phone games when this board even allows console games

I think the biggest problem is that Bethesda didn't explain the basic mechanics very well. Back when the game came out, if you were new to the series, you wouldn't receive a very good explanation in the manual of what things did. Bethesda in particular has had a bad habit of explaining how things work in their games because they have some retarded beliefs that giving the player the knowledge necessary to play the game will somehow make the game worse.

These days it's no excuse. You can read exactly how combat works on a wiki. You could do so for as long as the UEESP existed. One of these faggots who makes a video of them taking five minutes to almost die to a rat several times because they're using a weapon their character has 5 skill in.

The problem with muscle wizards is that might isn’t just an abstract concept, it’s used in game for literal physical strength. A scrawny weak mage who dumped CON but has high “mental fortitude” or whatever uses it in checks to bend bars and lift heavy things with his hands and such.

Nigger. Attributes are part of what makes an rpg an rpg. Attributes were always there because they were supposed to be numerical representations of general tendencies for a character.
>Morrowind
>they are mathematically redundant with skills
They are not. The attributes in Morrowind do much more than just increase skills.
Strength increases carry weight, increases damage done, and affects fatigue and starting hp. No skill in game affects starting HP, damage, or carry weight.
Agility affects evasion chance, chance to resist knock down and stagger, and maximum fatigue (not affected by skills).
Intelligence as another example increasing your magicka (not dependent on skills either).
Endurance affects starting HP, HP per level (not affected by skills), and fatigue while reducing the rate of fatigue loss in general. Endurance also affects fatigue regeneration (not governed by skills)
Willpower affect resistance to negative effects (not affected by skills).
Personality affects the initial reputation with each npc prior to using persuasion or any reputation increases due to faction allegiances.
Luck just affects every dice roll--even those not related to skills.
The only skill that is truly "redundant" is speed as athletics also affects movement speed.

If you were talking about Oblivion, there would be some more redundancy as weapon skills no longer affected hit chance and now affect damage which was not the case in Morrowind.

Explain how Morrowind isn't an RPG. I'll wait.

>>3692403
>But that's no different than simply modifying each respective skill individually by n%.
Obviously it is different. If your character is strong, he'll be good at skills that demand strength. If he's smart, he'll be good at skills that demand intelligence. You know, like real life ...

I fucking love this game but it amazes me how completely flawed the expectations for how you would play it goes. The game seems designed around using each commander as individual units with the troops as extensions of them fighting against enemies moving each them into range for fighting the opponents groups of commanders trying to find good type match-ups. In reality its best to get a whole line of Spears to form a wall put squishier people behind them treat it like a 1600s Pike n Shot formation with Spellcasters Summoners and Ballistas in place of artillary.

You either stand in place and let the enemies die attacking your wall or slowly advance in formation while the enemies stand in one place and pick away at you. Since the only good counters to Spears are soldier units that move slow as dirt they can never get in and break your wall before you unload magic and projectiles to cripple them then maybe send one group of Calvary or fliers to pick off the remains. Either pull them back to heal/regroup or advance the formation around them especially since horsemen are way more vulnerable than the game tells you

This, 7.62 High Calibre, Marauder: Men of Prey, and Planet Alcatraz might be my picks, although they are pretty much gems in the rough.
They are a bunch of buggy russian RPGs that are only playable thanks to the bunch of autistic russians patching most of the game and even giving some of them a few mods, at least in 7.62 case.
Gameplay wise, its pretty much Kenshi, but instead of weebs in space australia, you are some mercs in South America/ Bandits in Russia Occupied by the US/ A Death Squad in a planet size Gulag fucking shit up.
The games are stupidly hard, mostly because Bandits have a tendency of aiming at your face instead at some part of the body that should have a higher chance to hit, meaning that if they hit you its pretty much over because you are instantly dead because of headshot. And even if thats not exactly the case, getting shot will shock your PC, meaning you get stunned, lose time, and if you are (un)lucky and wear a helmet when the bullet connects with your head but not really your face you will become unconcious.
However, the same goes for your enemies, and i fucking love that part. Even if you are like 2 dudes if you plan accordingly you can take on muggers 2v8.
The setting also feels pretty alien. You are a foreigner and have no real idea of what the fuck is going on, you will have to puzzle things together by talking with people and visiting places, then form a picture after taking into consideration that some of the factions might be lying to you about some things and have an agenda.
Also, i have to recognise that the modders for 7.62 are really determinated. Those faggots managed to give a broken, unfinished game a complete fanmade campaing that doesn't completly suck, give it more characters, an amount of guns that can give /k/ a boner with fucking wiki pages worth of lore on gun manufacturation and development, and the option to instead choosing between 2 dogshit factions give you the option to take over the country yourself.

>>3694033
They are also fairly cheap when it goes on sale on steam.
However, i do have a few words of caution:
>Some pirated copies may have a DRM that fucking nukes your PCs OS (the devs are ultrnationalists russians and dicks to boot).
>Translation might be atrocious in english
>Planet Alcatraz 2 is not available through normal means on english. Its pretty much a russian only game.
>Marauder is normaly around 5-6 bucks, which its to overpriced for the kind of game that is.
>Shit might be Bethesda on launch tier buggy.
>DO NOT visit the Bordello of San Martin in 5E Brigade with volume at max, especially with speakers on and no headphones. Fucking prostitutes here its not a fade to black screen, its high pitched sex moans that last for over a minute that can be heard to the other side of the house.

When I used to RP on Roblox from about my early teens to my late, honestly all RP communities have these stereotype players, Primarily in the post-apoc scene they were rampant. To actually find a good RPers I recommend starting a faction or gang to filter out all the edge lords, something like a trader’s guild or fisher’s.

>>3695354
There are communities like that. Me and my guild's RP branch switched from retail to Epsilon WoW. There was a vast increase in quality of the RP. I am not saying it's gonna be 100% hits, but still better than Argent Dawn EU on retail. Lots of guilds with open recruitment

>I just wish there was a community out there with some quality standards and knew where tf to find it.
From experience, these communities usually come with some of the worst elitism that I've ever seen (fair enough, elitism fosters a community that is actually good at RP) and extremely power-hungry and abusive moderation/admins who play favourites for their friends (this is the worst offender and ruins it for me.)
Though my experience comes from games/servers hosted for the purpose of RPing, and not RPing communities set in pre-existing games.
>futa draenei
ERPers are a plague and are often deep-rooted in most RP communities. Back in the day it wasn't as socially acceptable and they did it behind closed doors at the very least, but nowadays everyone is so open about it that it makes my skin crawl.
>main characters
This is probably a trope that you can't escape, given how many narcissists there are in RP. This is especially bad in community-hosted games/servers where the admins can enable themselves/their friends as the 'main character' in the setting.

I'm so easily amused.

there's definitely some maps where the mako is extremely annoying and finnicky to control but holy FUCK is the lame ass sterile and slick hovercraft in 2 completely sovlless

the andromeda vehicle looks cool and looks like it might be fun to control, shame it's stuck in a game i'll never play

>>3696059
>there's definitely some maps where the mako is extremely annoying and finnicky to control
IMO this is more of a map design issue than a control issue.

There are some aspect of the Mako's controls and handling that are definitely poorly designed (pressing forward should move the car forward!), as well as some that are just poorly communicated (the "jump" boost is for getting yourself unstuck, it's almost completely worthless for actual jumping), but by far the worst culprit is those maps that are nothing but jagged mountains and you either waste 15 minutes driving around looking for the least retarded path to your destination or you waste 15 minutes maneuvering yourself up a straight cliff because if the map says the objective is due east I'm going to drive due east until I get there and gravity can't stop me.

>>3696415
yep, i agree, definitely an issue with how bioware designed the maps and not the mako itself

that map design is such a poor choice that sometimes with me1 i wonder "was bioware trying to go somewhere with this"? when i look at those planetary maps i think "there's no way anyone thought this was fun to play. were they trying to show that exploring planets would sometimes be dull and miserable, it can't all be a nice breeze through flat-ish terrain"?
and when i look at all the copy/pasted bases i think "this so blatantly looks like laziness, surely it couldn't be so hard to make unique map layouts. is this supposed to show that colonization on those fringe worlds is done with the same modular prefabbed structures everywhere because it's the easiest way?"

>>3696671
It kinda makes sense from a lore perspective that all of those bases are prefab buildings that can just be shipped in and dropped on a planet, but yeah if you bother with side-missions or exploration at all it gets super grating how outside of the main story areas there are only 2 tiny base layouts in the entire game and the only thing that changes is which doors are locked.

Honestly in some ways Mass Effect 1 is the best game in the trilogy because it avoids some of the contrived bullshit of the later games, but in many ways it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. I've been replaying the Legendary Edition recently and just finished ME1, and on the whole it just felt way more unpolished than I remember from when I first played it. Aside from the half-assed level design and incredibly bad enemy AI, there's also lots of glitchy shit like clipping through the map or companions randomly becoming unresponsive. I had to do the entire first half of Feros (until the part where you get into the Mako) solo because my squad refused to move from the zone entrance. I also found the character writing to be surprisingly bare-bones. I guess the sequels and the enormous amount of fan-content the games spawned kind of filled in the gaps in my mind, because I was genuinely surprised how few actual character moments the game had. Like you have Wrex' loyalty mission which is just
>"I told my grandpa I would track down our family's ancestral armor"
>okay cool I'll go get it for you
>"sure here's the coordinates"
>*wipe out 1 generic base with generic enemies*
>"yup that's the armor, it's a piece of crap though so I can't wear it"
>the end
This is the kind of shit I would expect from a Bethesda game, not a Bioware game.

Every Final Fantasy game is different from the others. They all take place in different universes, a lot of them have different battle systems, and two of the main numbered entries in the series are MMOs. There's nothing inherently wrong with a Final Fantasy game being what 16 is. I loved it a lot.

>>3695231
No. Every Final Fantasy since XI is a different game. Go back and play the first ten and you can genuinely follow the line of play. They tend to build on what came before. Starting with XI, thay started trying to reinvent the wheel with each iteration. And each time, they did it worse. The cope that "Final Fantasy has always been about completely reinventing itself" is delusion brought about by not having a fun mainline title in a longer span of time than it took to make the first two-thirds of the series. You can like XVI all you want. I am genuinely happy that you, and others, have something to enjoy, but trying to minimize the change from Squaresoft to SquareEnix is unnecessary and either ignorant at best, or disingenuous at worst. And, since this is 4Chan, the obligatory: Retard.

>>3683267
The demo might have you believe that you're just scratching the tip of the iceberg in terms of mechanics and progression, but the demo has everything fully unlocked and there's nothing else other than differently skinned skills, most of which are useless. The game is abysmal.
