Tim Gayn's ludokino masterpiece

Genuinely the absolute worst game I have ever played in my life.

its aightI didn't see the cult classic that mogs everything you've ever played grognards rant about tho
>>3875683>its aight>I didn't see the cult classic that mogs everything you've ever played grognards rant about thoIt’s a fairly accurate implementation of turn based 3rd ed rules (when most other 3rd ed games were RTWP and heavily homebrewed), and it’s an old school module from the early days of DnD. Basically does what it says on the tin.
>>3875689at the end of the day its just dnd tho
>>3875690Correct. Hence, “does what it says on the tin”. Some people will like it, some people won’t.
Why yes let's have a ToEE thread. It's my favorite game!
VtM:B>Arcanum>ToEE
looks like shit and probably plays like shit too
ToEE >>>>>> VtM:B >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Arcanum
>>3879124ignore pictures that you see on the steam pagethose are some very old screenshots from 20+ years ago, probably made even before vanilla beta-testingpicrel is the current look of the game
>>3879124>picrelWhere/what even is that fight? Is that like pre-alpha rendering footage or something? Looks like Hommlet but I've never seen those enemies there.
>>3879218>pre-alpha rendering footage or somethingYes. There is no such fight, and also the interface has those empty black boxes next to portraits, which don't exist in any version of the game.No idea, why would they upload those pics as preview.
Shout out to the anon who played the whole game with a party of like a druid and 5 thief chickens.
I hate how the shops in the starting town don't even stock half the weapons you can spec your characters into.I get not having certain exotic weapons that are supposed to be rare but they lack a lot of super basic stuff too. You're just meant to go into the dungeon and hope you'll eventually find something your character can use?idk maybe I'm just a casual but its annoying af to me.
>>3879472>You're just meant to go into the dungeon and hope you'll eventually find something your character can use?If it's your first run, then it just doesn't make sense to choose any weapon-specific feats. Since you don't know what kind of good magic weapons you will find.
>>3879472If you're playing with Co8 modpack (any edition), then once you've completed Brother Smyth's quest (to give him a hill giant's head), he will have masterwork version of almost any weapon for sale, except bows. All kinds of masterwork bows can be bought from Armario after clearing Deklo Grove.
Makes no sense that there isn't an option to just start after the moathouse
>>3879569why would you skip gaining your first 4 levels? lower level encounters are the most balanced ones in D&D gamesalso Moathouse is good for learning the game & testing your party setup>option to just start after the moathouseanyway, you can achieve that with cheat codes
>>3879569Moathouse is the best part of the game and what the original P&P module got its reputation for. It wasn't Mentzer's bugbear-filled temple that did it.
>>3879517WRONG.You start with the weapon you pick weapon focus in, and after a few levels (literally a couple hours into the game) you can have your caster enchant it +1 if you want.Plus, if you're modding, you can buy masterwork versions of any base weapon at any time anyway, so...Best weapons: Glaive, Ranseur, Spiked Chain, Bastard Sword (For Fragrach or Scather)
Never heard of this. Does it play like Baldur's Gate?
>>3879711Yes, but turn-based, more combat-focused, with radial menu, and almost without any interactions between party members.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dF5P6MHs05k
Troika is the recipe for the greatest cRPG of all time:ToEE combat mixed with Arcanum's reactivity and VtM's atmosphere.
>>3879325Hey, thanks for remembering me! :)
>>3875127This game sucked massive nuts at the time, so, I'm sure it still does. This would resonate more with you if you were alive, or old enough, to understand that it was hated primarily due to it's shitty rule system which was based on TSRs latest rules revision. Plus it was janky and in a time when we weren't used to jank except by the Polish. Looking at you Martyr...
I need help figuring out a party.So far I've got a druid and an evocation wizard. Probably a rogue too since I imagine I need to pick locks and detect traps.What else should I pick?
>>3885031monk and rangersell all heavy armor to buy potions and scrolls
>>3885031you need tanks and direct attack melee damage, so 2 fighters or paladins or barbarians
one click version modded version releases in 4 hourswe hyped or not?
>>3887918what's the coolest thing you ever did in toee?do you somehow think you'll be able to top it by buying the game again?
>>3887918i am hyped to see what kind of discussions about toee we're going to get
>>3875127Reminder they had to switch the game to 3.5E during the very last couple of months prior to release. And it's still somehow praised as the best ruleset adaptation.
>>3887977>And it's still somehow praised as the best ruleset adaptation.No other contemporaneous 3rd ed cRPG even tried to implement relatively faithful turn based combat. They were all heavily homebrewed and RTWP.
Released on Steam today.
Which is better this or Icewind Dale
>>3888036They’re both good. ToEE if you prefer turn based third ed and don’t mind jank. IWD if you prefer RTWP second ed.
>>3875127He was gay, Tim Cain?
>>3887918>one click version modded versionwhat's that?
>>3888056basic version of toee is bugged and doesn't work well on modern osesmodders fix that but you had to install two modpack that new version have preinstalled mods and some other stuff
>>3888061ah nice, thanks
>>3888061>that new version have preinstalled modsno, only bugfix parts from the mods and some QoLs are includedno new content
>>3888064>no new contentGood. That was the shittiest part of Co8.
>>3875127>mfw gog owners of the existing version get this for free
>>3888141so you it for free on gog?
>>3888141>bought it anyways because GoG is on death's doorhonestly thought they were gonna price it at 20-30
