>What are you playing right now?
Elminage Original, debating on going back to Wizardry 6 before or after completing it now that I’ve gotten more used to some Wiz clones.
>Any release you are looking forward to?
Not particularly, not because nothing looks good but because there are more than enough available for me to play in a single lifetime.
>Do you prefer a fully custom party, or pre-made adventurers?
Fully custom. Part of the fun for me and I imagine most into the genre is party building and finding new ways classes work together.
Anyone try that Stonekeep sequel(?) for the Wii? The original is another that I want to get back to before too long.

Just did a solo playthrough of Dungeon Rats, was brutal but a lot of fun trying to tip the odds in your favor while being seriously disadvantaged every fight.

recommendations for something rather fast-paced like M&M6-8? can be turn-based

>>3994534
Monster's Den series. originally made with Flash.
https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33419667

Book of Dread is the shortest one unless you play Endless mode.

>>3994534
Unironically Bard's Tale Trilogy. It's pretty basic and most encounters end in less than a minute. You need some tolerance for old school trap bullshit tho.

>>3993456
I hate the fact that I can play a game like Wizardry but if I am not dedicated enough I end up dropping. It's just time consuming.. I know what to do and all, but if I stop playing I end up having to start over. It's either you fucks wit it, or you have to stop playing and start all over again.

>>3994678
Maybe starting with something like Wizardry isn't the best option. A less obtuse game like Might & Magic could fit you best.

>>3994678
I had to replace a party I lost in wizardry gaiden 2 not too long ago, but it's not as bad as you think it might be in terms of "Starting over". think of it this way:
>You still have your maps you drew and no doubt made notes on where important things are
>any items you sold to Boltac's are there to be bought again for your new party members
>Because you mapped stuff out and have access to better gear right away (especially if you had a Bishop at Gilgamesh's Tavern to work as a bit of a bank on top of identifying stuff), you can go grab plot coupons you need and can grind much faster to get back where you were
>you have a chance in some cases to build up certain party members better this time around, like making mages you plan on turning into fighters and vise versa
>>3994711
I've never played Might and Magic, outside of Dark Messiah but I know that doesn't really count. Is it dungeon crawling too?

>>3994713
>Is it dungeon crawling too?
Kind of? It's an important part of the experience, but it's also true that the series turns towards more of an open-world/adventure focus. That said, if Wizardry 8 is a dungeon crawler then so is M&M.

>>3994715
I've never played Wiz 8 desu, just 1-3, 5, and Gaiden 1 and 2. I plan on going back to 4 eventually but it's really its own thing from what I can tell and I wanted more party building. That, and when I heard you can export 3 into 5 even on PS1 I was all in on that.

reincrawling

Don't know if this is the place to ask this but figured it's ny best shot - I played this steam demo for an indie old school style grid based sort of dungeon crawler first person game years ago , maybe between 3- 5 years back ? Could be more though. The only thing I can recall about it however , is that it had a deep dark blue UI elements , and the tutorial quest took place in this underground cave system , very descriptive text heavy and exposition heavy, and I think the story had something to do with aiding your tribe by exploring these cave systems ? I know its very vague but It's all i have to go on. I tried searching for it in my library and idk if it got delisted or if I'm just retarded but I don't see it anywhere . Or anything that fits its description. Any help is much obliged, thanks !

not that guy, but you can import 6->7->8 and they're a trilogy so that would be badass. I've only beaten 8 a few times, but started out 6 and 7 a little messing around with party comps. they seem okay. 8 is pretty sweet if you ignore the shitty graphics

>>3996110
>Paper Sorcerer
Is it bad? Both the premise and the aesthetics look kinda cool, it would be a shame if it's shit.
>>3996899
You can also import the party through the Bard's Tale Trilogy. IMO one of the major adventages of full party costumization is that sense of total progression, of having "your guys" actually be the heroes across an entire series rather than a collection of pre-determined OCs.

Insal is for picking the lockpick on the door Amber is behind
don't rest before you get her

>>3999794
Now that's what I call a res-erection!

>>4000581
Can you actually get the scenes in the azure tower where you meet Insal again but he's had some accident/got caught in some deadly trap?
I know it's in the game files but I think there is a bug which makes that stuff not happen if you actually accept him into the party when meeting him first.
Maybe it's a wrong bit set and he re-appears if you don't invite him (and let him steal your stuff)?

>>4000637
hmm, managed to finally google up a screenshot of that scene, so it does happen.
You havr to rescue him but not take him into party, shitty bug.

>>3993456
I mostly picked up the adventurers you meet or resurrect, in EoB and EoB II, even tho they have worse stats. More flavor or something.

>>4000655
That certainly is crappy, but I bet the bug doesn't appear much for people. Here is what I suspect is a common pattern:
>start your new adventure into EOB 2
>free insal
>accept insal
>lose insal
>go down a couple floors
>slam face-first into the learning curve

I also never found the ancient guy.
And I kept training and training and training for days to get Amber to mage level 13
turns out the fucking engine implements maximum level limits for demihumans

>>4000773
In my experience EOB2 did not trouble me with racial level caps. And then, EOB3 shat on my level 13s, making them 8s and 9s. I wonder if it happens to recruitables but not PCs in 2?
>finally finish the game, never finding the little bastard again
But Jesus, I'm just glad this thread could bring light and air to this lingering shadow you've been living with. Whether you can lay the matter aside at that, or decide to run EOB again and see it through, we go with you in spirit, anon.

>>4000872
I played it a lot of times, although not sure I got to end more than 1 time. I probably under-explored the crimson tower, too. I think I have the game so ingrained in my memory that I don't need to return to it.

I never got into Eob3 though. Between the high conventional memory requirements back when I would play it baremetal, me not having walkthrough or maps or buddies that finished it, and the ugly color palete the imported character portraits had, it didn't stick on me like 1+2, or Dungeon Master 1.
That one I compulsively replayed when I found the silly looking blonde girl with fruit or veggies in her backpack is an elf.
I dropped everything I was doing and rushed to rescue her from the magical mirror.

>>4000773
>And I kept training and training and training for days to get Amber to mage level 13

googling tells me elves actually have Thief limited to level 12, not mage. Did I misreembered?

Also, googling I found some person't writeup that suggests EoB games implement dual-wield penalties (OMG never knew) and that is one reason to use ranger class - better thac0 actually.
Is that known to be true?

Yes, this was documented in the manual I believe. But, I tested it out when deciding what class to make a few days ago, and I could not tell if there was a difference.

Also there is this asinine way to spawn hordes of Nadias and Jorils by over-using the teleporters on the first floor.

>>4001772
It's probably better to skip grinding on these lower-level enemies, once you get into the azure tower, there's the furry weirdos that give much more exp per kill and hordes spawn on demand, you just need to press a button.

OTOH, the game is almost over and it's after you get through the worst part (beholders - well worst if you don't dodge their rays).

Bump

Playing Wizardy: Tale of the Forsaken Land. Maybe I wouldn’t call it a great game (certainly good) but it is soul overdrive with how alive the dungeons are. I just love games where everyone lives in/around the dungeon like how you bump into people at Walmart, except it’s a place that wants to kill everyone. Very cool.

That's not the issue though with Wizardry. It's just time consuming. I already know how and what to do and how to beat it. I end up just losing interest despite tossing in dozens of hours already on it.. once I want to cum back to it and replay it I literally forget what I need ot do and end up creating another save and starting over.

IIRC there is stuff like a special quest that gives you 320 magical darts. I hate that, how do you even carry that to the next game?

(Also yeah - you want a version that is viable for importing into Eob2)

>>4006018
My advice is don't. EOTB is dogshit. You can't even look at your own items to see what stats they have or what your weapon values are and the level design is based around cheap bullshit. Garbage game.

Playing Starcrawlers again
Its not perfect but I like it a lot and will shill it where I can
Using a Cyberninja this time, their attack animations have them doing cartwheels and spin kicks across the screen. Most classes have pretty good visuals like that for their skills.
Probably also going to pick one mega-corp to actively piss off so I can deal with their hit squads coming for me as a bonus challenge.

>>4006018
Someone reverse-engineered Amiga version of EoB 1 and 2, then added bunch of improvements to it, like auto-map, 256-color palette, international localization, etc. It was pretty much the definitive edition of both games.

It was called Eye of the Beholder AGA.
But I don't know where to find it anymore. I am not sure if anyone even archived it.

It may be a lost media now

playing grimrock 2 currently, got to the part of the Archives that connects to the Sewers, am I supposed to explore absolutely everything in this area right now or can I do my thing in the Archives then leave to look for the other two power gems? all these areas connecting to each other because of the open-world approach feels a bit odd and im not sure if im ever supposed to turn back and return later when I get stronger or something

Trying out legends of amberland now, but I have to admit I keep thinking "I could just play MM 3/4/5" for the same experience but with much cooler monsters and general graphic design

Best dungeon crawlers for the 'eck?

>>4021661
now I'm glad I never got those two games then

>>3993456
I like real-time dungeon crawlers in the vein of Legend of Grimrock 1-2, M&M 6-8. Wizardry 8 was okay but it had too many convoluted mechanics.

Are there any other games like these? Real time dungeon crawling. Whether you go by party or a single character is fine with me.

>>4023916
to be fair I dont even think they're bad, just lacking a little something to make them worth playing over their inspiration, whether its graphics/classes/quests/whatever

Vaporum 1 & 2 are pretty good.

>>4021661
Same here, they aren't bad but they're extremely by the numbers.

Ok, not great. Not the worst thing in the world if you want a largely no frills dungeon crawler with anime aesthetics
three does look a little more interesting in that your choice of starting school determines your classes, and theres a much bigger class variety, but I'm not sure how deep the differences go or if they're largely cosmetic. Probably the one to try if you get any of them though

I'm at this weird intersection of really wanting to get into DRPGs but every time I play one I just kinda lose interest after a few hours. The last one I managed to actually complete was Touhou Artificial Dreams in Arcadia and that felt like an absolute slog. I did think Wizardry Daphne was pretty fun but it's also gachaslop so I knew eventually I'd hit the "log in do dailies log out" point and get burned out.

you might just not be into dungeon crawlers
despite that I'll throw some suggestions out
another anon mentioned Demon Gaze, which I enjoyed
The same company did Undernauts, which is easier and has a neat aesthetic
Starcrawlers is a pretty cool one with some neat graphic flourishes for your attacks and a mix of randomly generated maps when you work for/against various megacorps in space as well as fixed ones as part of the main story. Its one of my favourites to shill
Might & Magic 3 as well as 4 and 5 if you want old fashioned adventurer with memorable designs and not as hard/involved as the Wizardry series
Dungeon Travelers 2 if you want full anime bullshit, but still a really fun and deep crawler

>What are you playing right now?
Currently playing Etrian Odyssey III on Steam. I just made it to the 2nd stratum. I've played EOII:U, and EOV so far. After finishing EOV it has become one of my favorite games of all time.

>Any release you are looking forward to?

The programmable units gimmick where you don't directly control your party members seems interesting and novel. I hope it's good.

>Do you prefer a fully custom party, or pre-made adventurers?
Generally I prefer a fully custom party because I like to try to make certain "builds" work like a "lockdown" team focused on status ailments and debuffs, and/or try to beat the game without a dedicated tank class/member like I did in EOV.

Thank you for the suggestions lads. I did actually buy Undernauts because it's on sale, but I will check out the others. I remember trying Grimrock and also bounced off, same with Refrain. I'll take a look at Demon Gaze if I end up liking Undernauts. Starcrawlers also looks kinda cool.
I think I'm also gonna check out the demo to Descent of Lunaris at some point.

I think their edgy games would have more of an audience than the cutesy shit in the west. I find the stranger and undernauts art far more appealing than their chibi adjacent or generic anime artstyles.

Their edginess is only cosmetic, though.

You made me look it up and you're right.
I always thought the gritty artstyle was added for the western release, when it's actually the other way around. The one added later was the bright anime style.

What's it with the EoB recrutiable/raisable companions?

>Every NPC that is a minority (gnome, dwarf, halfling) or a woman is a fucking poorfag, no equipment of worth found with their corpses

>and then there is the two golden boy *male* characters that of course have +5 kit that's strongest equipment of the whole series.

the women in western rpgs are so ugly

>And then, EOB3 shat on my level 13s, making them 8s and 9s. I wonder if it happens to recruitables but not PCs in 2?
Hmm, my recruitables carried over from EOB1 got transferred without level change.
Gotta see what happens to the EOB2 recruitables once I have them levelled up.

Also whoa, they retouched couple of the EOB1 NPC portraits, didn't expect it. compare with >>4059532

I would expect this, since you non-importing players wouldn't ever see these portraits, iirc they aren't offered when creating.

However, EOB3 has a "feature" that is kinda cheat version of import.
If you give your characters a name of a recruitable character from EOB2 (not sure about EOB1 now) during creation, no matter what portrait you choose, upon start of the game, the portrait gets overriden to the stored portrait of that recruitable character.
So you can kinda get them, even if you lost your saves from old games.

Seems to only work with EOB2 people.

All Experience Inc games are incredibly edgy and played entirely straight, anon. The setting for these games is bleak as fuck, especially the cutesy ones.

>>4059367
man I keep meaning to go back and play Legend of Sword City, but I hate the exp inc games that push you to constant class changing

>>4059367
Like the other guy said the generic anime shit was added later. Notice the top image matches the monsters in the game, and Undernauts.

Undernauts begins with your whole team being eaten and doesn't get much better up to the second area where I am.

>>4060619
I'm no expert, only beaten on of their games so far, but my impression was that you can win without class changing but it's needed for their postgame which is usually pretty robust.

I restarted playing labryinth of refrain from when i played it years ago and got the normal ending. Its as fun as i remember but i also remember being really dissapointed that neldo doesn't actually do anything on the gameplay front, he joins the expedition but doesn't do shit other than events on the map to open up areas.

you can grab the 3ds font for EO on nyaa if you want (and a denuvo-less version because the devs "forgot" to add denuvo during the first few days)

I still think this is the best ever. The level design and the puzzles were amazing, not to mention the spell system.

>>4062435
Very ahead of its time to be sure, though graphics of course is dated (aged well considering the low colour count ant that it's Atari ST).

Some of the mechanics are a bit clunky, but you mostly only notice it in DM2. The lulzy trading system instead of just implementing some window menu for trading and dialogue (the mute nature of the game was kinda weird in DM2).

>>4061653
No I'm not going to write it down you dork

Heh, I never used Ileira the bones-sourced cleric from Eob1 before, but she actually isn't that bad. I wish the devs didn't typo her sex as male, idiots.
Has even lousier WIS than Shorn Diergar so early on in Eob1, healing the part takes like 90 hours of resting. But it stops mattering at higher levels. FUCKING 9 WIS

I think I'll try taking this party of stat-rolling fail dorks all the way into Eob3. When you are used to do the sidestep fighting all the time, you don't need a great party anyway.

Hahaha, I tried a replay and I never approached Insal's cel.
Result: He appears in crimson tower fine, and apologizes for running away from party and stealing your items.

If you take him into the party and let him run away, the scene doesn't appear (also doesn't appear when you drag him there without resting, heh).

I hate that such a stupid story-harming bug has remained in the game for 35 years/forever.

Hello anons, i am here cause i was told in vitagen to ask in here since they apparently never played these games. These past weeks i have been playing the Dungeon Traveller games, i have finished the ToHeart2 and the Royal Library, beaten all bosses, sealed all monsters and all that. I am on 2-2 now, finishing the game and the Cassino Boss is obliterating me. Even under dances, dark aura and stuff like Valkyrie buffs, if she gets a single spell off is death, and she has skills that go off without a cast time so this is kinda sad. Anyone has any ideas, strats teams or whatever? I am going nuts in here. Only missing the kill on her to close out this game too

I've only played 2 (The Royal Library) but can recommend it, the dungeon crawling is actually pretty solid and the girls are cute.
Lots of little sub events too, like I put one of them on the bench for a while to train up someone else and she had a sulk about it when she came back on the team
