Is this crap? Nobody ever talks about it.
>>3846868It's mid. Worth a playthrough.
>>3846868It's alright, just don't expect it to be next Planescape Torment.
>>3846868It’s a 5/10 game. Very forgettable
the freakouts by the devs over fanart was more entertaining than the game
>>3846868Basically the problem is it's just a knockoff PST. And worse at it.
I knew enough about Numenera as a setting to avoid it until proven otherwise, and that never happened. It also just looked like it was trying too hard to be a "spiritual successor" to Planescape to the point it was off putting.
>>3846868Lurk the archives, newfag. The author of this book wrote one of the companions.
>>3846961This makes me laugh every time I see it. The author's picture is very amusing as well.
>>3846868I find that the less people talk about something the more mediocre it is considered to be. Not bad, not good; not great, not terrible. So no one will have anything to say about it.
>>3846868It's mostly meh to bad.You can feel a troubled production process while playing.Also, somebody thought that:>We're making PS:T torment knockoff... therefore the more words we put in, the more PS:T it will get!Turns out the content of words also matters.The Bloom is a really good chapter, but it's he late game part. Not sure if worth shoveling through the crap.
>>3846934Oh?Tell me more.
>>3846868released unfinished. I'm talking missing companion unfinished. it was also a blatant case of inxile siphoning funding from numenera for the bard's tale 4 they were working on.
>>3847090>>We're making PS:T torment knockoff... therefore the more words we put in, the more PS:T it will get!I regret most Meres got cut. They were really solid CYOAs.
>>3847091Can't remember all the details but iirc the lead writer would get upset when they found custom character portraits that were too white looking. Worldbuilding for their setting is that everyone is mystery-meat mulatto. Of course, going too dark didn't get any reaction, just too white.
>>3847428Yep, entire setting is Monte Cuck trying to capitalize on his involvement in Planescape and sharing his White Genoicide fanficiton.Funny thing is people will think we're joking.
>>3847428I can barely remember the details because I've never played the game and only heard of it on /tg/ (and haven't posted there in a long time), but wasn't Numenera the one with books where literally every character was black? I've always wondered if the game goes in a completely different direction since that was more post apocalypse, while Tides always looked like a Planescape ripoff and doesn't exactly hint that with the little art I've seen of it, but hearing that it's not all that surprising
>>3846961>>3846962Western fantasy lit has been full of literal NTR for many, many decades now. Last one I ran afoul of was Chris Wooding's The Shadow Casket. Litfags' attitude to this shit seems to be "well them's the breaks sometimes books make you feel bad".
>>3847428>be bg3>half of the Sword Coast is blacked now>black humans>black elves>black dwarves>black halflings>dark elves and duergar and deep gnomes remain phenotypically homogeneous of courseHmm who could be behind this
>>3847471>Western fantasy lit has been full of literal NTRThat shit ain't NTR, it's just a "nice guy" waiting in the wings. NTR is an Eastern term where a woman is corrupted by the dick and it's been in Eastern fantasy for many many decades, since Guin Saga.
>>3847428>>3847474You don't get it, guys. Everywhere is San Francisco.
