>>3481087Not really. Killing and semen are the only real ways
What the fuck, why didn't anyone tell me these were RPG's and not adventure games? Avoided them for years since I looked at screenshots and it looked like Point and Click garbage, and then I recently had a friend recommend it to me and realized I was wrong.

For some reason I never found a more comfortable vidya Inn than this one, ever, in any game that I played for years and years after.
Let's settle this once and for all.Is it worth playing?
>>3481222You're just an idiot. You're merely desperate to defend poe at all costs and have no interest in discussion. You made an idiot reply that made me realize there's no point trying to respond, and now, instead of trying to prove me wrong you just double down and spew more shit, confirming me right. And yes I can explain everything. Here's just one example.>good luck explaining adnd 2e thieves not knowing how to take off a helmet thoughThat's an element of the class system, not the stats/attribute system. Class systems typically have a much higher degree of arbitrary rules than most other elements of an RPG. Explaining why THAT is, beyond the scope of this post suffice to say that it's not worth comparing directly to an attribute system, which is intended to be an abstract representation of actual character traits.Meanwhile, the fact that you instantly pulled out this boilerplate retort despite it not actually being directly relevant to arguments made, identifies you as an mindless poe shill who will be utterly incapable of real engagement on the topic. Hence, I shat on you. If you cannot demonstrate better ability to think and respond like an intelligent person and not an idiot with no thought in his mind other than defending PoE, I will not reply again.
>>3481155every computer rpg is infantile and easy. it is for children, after all.
>>3481234>Video games are for childrenThank you for this insight anon, how does one achieve your levels of insight?
>>3481241just let go of the thought that playing computer rpgs is some sort of achievement.
>>3481252I've never claimed it is dude.Although I've seen my fair share of steam reviews complaining about the difficulty of certain RPGs, which leads me to believe global IQ is dropping quickly which will lead to a competency crisis.
bought this game 10 years or so ago and i played it on and off across the years, still very trash at it, does someone have any good tips, cheese strategies or even just some random stories, please post.
>>3480801Nah, rogues are okay because they have good survivability with Trained Reactions, even when their damage is below average.Some classes like Summoner just have no survivability at all.>>3476285Try the addon "Automatic Talent Gambits". It makes the game twice as fun for me. Also, Oozemancer is almost a pure AOE class if you just want to wreck everything. And their stuff doesn't even damage friendlies, which is infuriating on other classes. Almost impossible to kill as well. (Never fight your clone or you'll be stuck.)
>>3480827Damn, I forgot about Summoner. What a joke of a class. I wonder if they would be better if their summons had no time limit, like necro skeletons.
>>3480827Yeah i have scouting someone and accidentally killing the scout because my AOE exploded him>>3480837I was playing as summoner the other day. After level 25 things got really fucked but the summons were fun for a time.
Of all the roguelikes out there why do retards obsess over the absolute worst one that plays like shitty turn based diablo? Just depressing.
>>3481124Cause roguelikes are a shit genre and the one game that's least roguelikeish turns out as its biggest success.Fucking imagine my shock anon.
So now that Larian Studios has no choice but to return to the setting of Rivellon (unless they create a new decent IP, not getting my hopes up on that); how would you improve the lore of the Divinity setting /vrpg/?
>>3479578>no choice>unlessShoot yourself into your mouth
>>3479578I am still not sure how the lore works for OS 1 and 2 and the Void Dragon and Void King or why BRachus Rex is so important
>>3479578No point keeping rivellon honestly. The lore is more fucked up than long running MMOs'. Every game contradicts or retcons lore in other entries. Even OS1 and OS2 aren't consistent. They can't even decide what and how many races actually exist, and whether Imps wear clothes.
>>3479578The lore isn't the issue. The tone is. You can make a great story with subpar lore, but shit tone will twist a good story to shit. Although, to be fair, the universe the created is so bland and unremarkable anyway, they might as well go for something new.
The gameplay is fun, but they should drop the series because the lore is mid at best. They really need some good writers on board for any future IP's they decide to produce. No skimping on the writing front
Just finished the main story and I really don't get why this game is so maligned. Did auto-battle really filter journalists that hard? Considering strategic orientation of the battle system toward paradigm deck composition and paradigm shifts, auto-battle was a good and useful mechanic. I think the "hall way sim" complaint is overblown, the linear and open segments are well-balanced. People complain about the "20 hour tutorial" which I really don't understand, the early-to-mid part of any JRPG is going to be a different kind of experience than the late-to-postgame, and this game does a good job differentiating the segments. Two-man battle teams present a different, somewhat more desperate challenge than the late game where you have all options at your disposal. And, I love the menus, I love the UI design overall and don't get why people complain so much about the Crystarium. Even though its sections are more linear than the Sphere Grid, you actually have pretty significant control over how you develop the characters until the deep post-game.Admittedly, Taejin's Tower and Oerba feel unfinished, the weapon upgrade system is tedious, and the summons felt like wasted potential. But this game delivers on graphics, gameplay and story imho.What did you think of FF13? Should I keep going with the post-game grind or just jump right into XIII-2?
>>3481116>But they cry and whine about it!I don't remember that part.
>3478588First part is schizo-tier.13 just sucks both narratively and mechanically while also being a slog to playthrough. 13fags are delusional for defending this mess of a game.
>>3481136You mean their entire story arcs? You don't remember Tidus crying about his dad, whining about being stuck in another world, shrieking hysterically when he discover's the meaning of Yuna's pilgrimage, screaming at Auron like a petulant brat? Or Snow's blowhard pretend hero facade that crumbles and gives way to him begging for forgiveness and feeling sorry for himself?I mean I'm playing contrarian here and was being sarcastic with the whole repress emotions thing. I agree that they are ultimately good masculine role models because they overcome their crises and move forward rather than wallowing in the end, but they are also crybabies who do definitely have their hysterics.
>but they are also crybabies who do definitely have their hystericsThe irony of this anon. kek
>>3481146>You don't remember Tidus crying about his dad, whining about being stuck in another world, shrieking hysterically when he discover's the meaning of Yuna's pilgrimage, screaming at Auron like a petulant brat? Or Snow's blowhard pretend hero facade that crumbles and gives way to him begging for forgiveness and feeling sorry for himself?Snow falters one time, and it's when Barthandelus is lying to them.Tidus is younger, and struggles more.But both are shown to ultimately overcome their anxiety and face their challenges bravely.Young male gamers need to see more of that.

are there any good mods for bannerlord yet?overhaul mods would be preferred but also are there any mods that fix the levelling so its more like warband?
>>3479417My standard mod list is this>Diplomacy>Garrisons do something>Realistic battles mod>De Ri Militari>Houses of Calradia>Warlord packThe Realistic battles mod makes armor far more realistic but it’s too much in my opinion. However De Ri Militari balances the troop trees so that only top tier troops are heavily armored.
>>3479417Vanilla needs a lot of content mods, but there are almost no overhaul mods out right now
>>3479417XPtweaks so it's less aids for you and companionsRBM, combat overhaul, it's a tradeoff though archery/xbow will be shit but the shields will no longer work as forcefields that block everything in front of themEagle Rising for some Roman kino(also Carthago, Dryatians, Britannia, G*uls, Scythians), comes with new weapons too (pilum, slingshots, gladius)Fourberie, allows you to assassinate nobles disguised, break out multiple prisoners, stage riots to reduce loyalty, participate in underground fights, hire bandits, have a hideout
Think Banelord will have stuff like WF&S and Viking Conquest etc.? or will they just pull a Cyberpunk, put back most of what's promised, then fuck off to the next thing?
>>3480826The latter. They will leave it all to the modders this time. Have to check when warband and Napoleonic etc came out.
I just want a small farm with khajiit slaves
>>3481119>>3481121Bethesda are cowards for not giving us a Khajiit gf in Skyrim.
>>3481138You can be one, I guess
Khajiit are clever animals, and useful servants when trained from early youth, and so long as they are kept away from skooma. They are compulsive thieves and liars, lamentable traits that can be amended by stern punishment. By Imperial law, free Khajiit have the rights of citizens. Now there are Khajiit thieves everywhere.
>>3481119It's time to move on from our ancient practices, Khajiit and Argonians are people.

What is your favorite Diablo-style RPG?
>>3476812Warhammer - Chaosbanne
>>3480182>no complexityBullshit>, no risk or rewardThe fuck does that even mean in ARPG? You sound like a schizo with a lot of buzz phrases about pegging and holes. Just pay a whore to strap one on for you if you truly like hardcore that much, same stupid masochism.>Grim Dawn is a perfect litmus test on if you have good or bad taste in video games, in fact it's indicative of your worldview as a whole. You are ruled by predisposition and ingroup-approval. oh yeah that mighty GD bandwagon where GD dominates the normiesphere, step off with your larping in your own head >meanwhile the POE skinner box compels me to defend that piece of bloated crippleware shitlmao, fucking please double queer, you're like a young senior citizen that gets angry if something is a little more imaginative than a slot machine POE pull. Almost every POE player is a clone spitting this angry rhetoric too because your leisure time must be a frustrating grind with no end. Kind of like you trying to get a woman off.
>>3480135>>Time to start dinner, oh I got some time I'll pop another exp elixir>Personally, I do not see Diablo ever reaching the POE audience because it will alienate the mentioned casual audience above. The paragon board is a joke because everyone copies whatever streamers do, but maybe this itemization rework will add some depth to builds again. Maybe even setting up for the expansion by redoing the foundation?Fair enough, I'm done speculating on copium of games to improve anymore now though. They're either fun right now or they get shelved right now.I might give it another whirl with a sorc "melee" build just to see what's possible now. He looked pretty cool with a lightning staff and effectiveness wasn't a joke.I don't watch streamers at all but the boards definitely had one best path at least in the pet necro case. You play enough of these to be better than all the streamers and it's just self evident after a while.
Grim Dawn's dual-mastery system was weird. I always felt like my characters were much stronger if they focused points into one mastery.The only exception being Demolitionist's Flame-touched and Vindictive Flame, which pair well with any class due giving such a huge boost to damage output and survivability.For the most part, I think dual-classing is more of thematic thing. It's something you do if you want to make a certain type of character rather than the most powerful thing possible. My Death Knight (soldier+necromancer) was great fun, even if he didn't actually need any of the soldier skills.
Obviously poe but i also hate it. Then project diablo 2. Last epoch is fun. Been playing it all day actually. Just needs more time.
>"These NPCs are not scripted. We give them general goals and they figure out on their own how to accomplish them."It's been almost two decades, why can't RPGs ACTUALLY accomplish this now? It would make their worlds far more believable and alive and feel less dead.
>>3481093might just be notr and archolos, I haven't played G1 in longer
>>3481037>I’m making an rpgNo you aren't, this is just bait to keep your shitty thread alive
>>3481122Nice schizo theory lmfao. It was a good guess, a good shot in the dark. But I am making an rpg. 2d, 3/4 view like A link to the past. But with Oblivion like AI. About a year into development. Hopefully will finish is 2 more. This thread interested me because it goes without saying that Oblivion has the best NPC and AI logic. So I checked it out
>>3481180pics or gtfo
>>3481037Hard to suggest, when we don't know anything about your game.Keep it simple, like down to schedules and reactivity, but try to make them significant. Try to design a quest where NPC schedule comes to play. Have NPCs comment on a large variety of things like events, your character, the weather, whatever you can think of.
CRPGs aged extremely badly with their clunky mechanics and wikipedia infodumps while classic JRPGs still hold up to this day. BG2 was quickly forgotten in place of BG3. RTwP shit was a product of its time. Something like pic related will remain timeless and iconic forever while RTwP slop is already almost forgotten.
>>3478241I still prefer rtwp. I didnt buy bg3 because low iq turn base. I own most modern crpgs other than that one.
Op got filtered
>>3481167I mean that's everything ever made. Young people don't care about anything from the past in general. Did you care about the movies, books or shows your grandparents watched? At best maybe a few your old man liked, right?A few well meaning ones with historical interest will go back and replay old games, but they'll seldom finish them or feel anything meaningful towards them.I've met maybe two people under the age of 25 that genuinely sperg out about old media, the rest are old fucks here and on /vr/ still huddled around the tiny fading embers of our innocence. This is our retirement center.
>>3480048I feel like you're right. I'd like to be a more western style game, with less stats, and a bit more mature content. Try to bridge the gap.
>>3480136These games are not fun to play. Reading a wiki is more enjoyable than playing them.
