Wtf happened?

>RPG quest tells you to kill bears
>it's called "The Bear Necessities"

What do you want to see in the inevitable Fallout remaster (or "remaster")?

I'll start with the obvious:
>Fallout 2's brute-forced tutorial zone gets multiple play options, letting you test your build of choice.
So if you start with a weapon skill, you get an early weapon using said weapon skill. Even for Energy Guns, some sort of weak starting gun, like a Stun Gun or something. And more alternative ways around the guy at the end, i.e. Lockpicking your way around him, blowing up a wall to get past him, so on and so forth. Basically, the tutorial zone should be possible to complete with any three tagged skills, so at most you can have two skills which aren't usable in the tutorial zone.

>Merge skills, inspired by Fallout New Vegas.
Split Big Guns into Guns (miniguns), Energy Weapons (Gatling Laser, flamethrowers), and Explosives (rocket launcher), Explosives now replaces handling of explosives from Traps and also includes skill with throwing grenades. Disabling mechanical traps goes under Repair. Non-grenade thrown weapons now use Melee Weapons. So Big Guns, Throwing, Traps, all removed.
First Aid and Doctor is merged under Medicine, Sneak and Steal under Stealth, but the actions are still separate in the menu, so you have separate uses per day for First Aid and Doctor and obviously you sitll need separate buttons for Steal and Sneak.

>Luxury wishlist:
Add ammo crafting with Science and possibly Repair. Add repairing weapons.
Rebalance useless perks, give something special for the boring "+skill" perks.
Let Outdoorsman scale past 100%.
Add low tech "guns" like crossbows for early game, and low-tech Energy Weapons (maybe a progression like stun-guns/tasers -> flamers -> high tech laser / plasma / pulse weapons).
+
Most important of all:
Combine Fallout and Fallout 2 in one, if you load your Fallout save there are some choices and consequences in Fallout 2 (i.e. Tandi is #NotMyPresident). Maybe hire MCA for some extra writing

Releases on PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam, (and hopefully Switch 2) in 2025.

will the steam version of BS2 also have the silly font?

Hey /vrpg/, I have recently illicitly acquired the game 'Avowed'. After playing it for a few days, I have some questions:

1.Why are there so many homos in the Living Land? Everywhere I go I'm always finding a note or listening to a conversation by some homosexual at a disproportionate rate. Is the Dreamscourge turning them all gay or something?

2.Why is there a side-quest about opposing laws against abortion and both your companion and the game throw shade at you for insisting on picking anti-abortion stance which you can only take under the pretext of being a legalistic bootlicker?

3.Why does every single conversation feel like you're talking to HR and completely lacks the 'bite' of POE dialogue?

4. Why does every single female outfit look like it was taken out of Victorian England in a tropical landscape?

5. Why does this game sometimes seem like it's the brainchild of some blue-haired feminist? I know that's a chud meme that probably shouldn't be taken literally, but I can't shake it off.

Recently I played through KOTOR 1 and 2. While I have minor gripes about those games for small odds and ends I genuinely loved the stories despite normally disliking most Star Wars shit. I was offhandedly told that SWTOR is a sort of follow up to them. Any truth in that? Would you recommend to anons who liked KOTOR 1/2's story/characters?

Roguelikes and roguelites not welcome

Recently finished Makai Agito.Its a SMT clone made in RPG maker. It ran like shit despite that for some reason. Its on the easy side difficulty wise and the level design is serviceable. I would recommend it if you have nothing else to play since you'll be done with it in 20 hours or so.

Undertale Yellow's 2nd anniversary is right around the corner. Do you think the devs will do anything to celebrate again?

Hammerfell

(Will not spoil any story details, for now, I know very little as of now.)

Bad news first: IF all goes well – Late 2028.

Protagonist is a prisoner, implied to be a pirate, on a small prison island near the city of Sentinel. He wakes up during a riot, leaves the island on a boat impersonating a messenger. Arrives by boat at the port of Sentinel at dusk.(big world reveal moment) This is where the tutorial area ends and the game begins.

Cities and villages are open. And now to drop a bomb: Most of the small buildings are open. Locked behind load screens are big buildings like palaces, keeps, guild halls, inns etc... This is ongoing work and It's keeping a lot of people awake at night. Massive engine work to make this function. City of Sentinel is 3x the size of Akila City from Starfield but not as dense. As I understand, some space is needed between the open buildings for proper loading and unloading of assets. Level design will help mitigate this as well as other small details like door opening animations. This created numerous issues and one of them is believe it or not... Windows. While inside small buildings you should be able to look through the window, but when you are on the outside from x distance you should be able to see inside, which is a problem and created a lot of discussions and testing about how far should you be from a house too look inside and this also affects the distance of which the assets start to load... and what specific asset type should load. When you come close to a big building with a loading screen you cannot see inside as the asset load is too big and when you are inside what happens when looking through windows?, as the outside world needs to be unloaded. In the end frosted glass is used, in some cases transparent and for buildings with a load screen a parallax interior/exterior is added. Windows cannot be opened, lockpicking windows was considered.

The writing in this game is awful. It's cringy and written like a YA story or a fan-fiction. There is this constant insincerity to most of what everyone says mixed with a tonal whiplash of the seriousness of the plot and the way the characters react to it.

Just in the prologue alone, the whole city is attacked, you fall into a cave and the first person you meet is a character named Seelah and within minutes she's cracking jokes with this exact line: "To Summarize, there are three of us, five working legs, three pairs of decent hands, two clear heads and one made of wood. Underground monsters beware!" which is exactly the kind of line you'd expect to hear improving at a d&d table. It's cheesy and not that funny but it could be passable if you were just messing about with your friends but a writer actually thought that was the best line to use for the situation. It completely robs the moment of any sincerity and immediately sets the tone of "We're not *actually* taking this plot seriously, we're aware how silly it sounds".

The same goes for Lann who you meet only a few minutes later. And then in the Tavern you can meet Wjolf who is a cringy teenage-sounding thief who actually calls the jail guard a "Dum-dum".

Along with this there is heavy exposition in nearly everything they say. The sort of writing that goes "Hey, it's you! The one who did that recent thing! The one everyone's been talking about. I'm X, the one you were sent to meet by your quest-giver. Here's my backstory. Here's why I'm important to the thing you're currently doing."

Everything is a constant chore to read in a game where you're reading 80% of the time for 100+ hours.

If anyone feels similarly about this style of writing, can you point me to games that are well-written? I really wanted to like WOTR because mechanically it all sounded fun and looked great but I physically can't bring myself to play anymore because the writing is so horrific.

What are other twine games that you've played? I like Shepherds of Haven.

Lets get this shit started

Just finished Infection after killing the final boss, bonus boss, and moving my save to the 2nd game(Mutation). As the first game in the series, it immerses you into its story and world with its early 2000s Internet interface menus and message boards taking you along for the ride through it combat mechanics, leveling, story characters you meet long the way and party gearing. There's alot of bad I can talk about like the constant menuing in later parts of the game, the empty overworld, the lack of difficulty, but as for the first game in the series I think I can look past those things for what the devs were going for .What do you think of the first game and others in the series?

>Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road

17 days remain between us and the best sokka game in the history of gaming

Did you played the beta? Or any of the DS/3DS games? Have you watched the anime or read any of the mangas? What are your favorite characters and techniques?

This is probably the only game I've been excited about in ages and I needed a place to talk about it. Hopefully it lives up to my hype.

What are some good Neverwinter Nights RP servers where the head admin WASN'T caught fucking a tranny?

Not so fast, TDNcucks!

hey you guys Im really not sure what I should play next. jrpgs are my favorite genre by far but theres a ton of mid slop mixed in there. Ive played all the FFs, DQs and Star Oceans, as far as tales games go Ive played Symphonia and Eternia which were great but I didnt care for Vesperia for some reason. Im looking for games that are different than the typical jrpg in some fashion, have memorable writing, story characters, good atmosphere and good level design especially. I hate games where every dungeon is the same generic cave filled with dead ends. fun battle system is a plus. also I cant stand SRPGs.

games ive played in the last year that I really loved:
>Parasite Eve
>Vagrant Story
>Threads of Fate
>Dragon Quest VIII
>PM TTYD
>Earthbound
thanks in advance

It's astonishing how a series exclusively made up of mid games has been able to last that long

It's been awhile since >we had a thread up.

What game gives you the closest feeling to going on a long long journey away from home?

For me its BG1 (or to a lesser extent) NWN: SoU

What do you think of octopath traveler?

I don't hate Fallout: New Vegas, but sometimes I notice some unnatural lines:

"A free woman. It's... been awhile since I've seen a woman who wasn't a slave. I forget myself -are you injured?"

Something like “A free woman, are you injured?” would be enough. I already know the Legion enslaves women — show, don’t tell. I get it!

I think The Frontier did even worse, but some dialogues in New Vegas are also a bit bad. Still, I like NV’s writing overall. But is afar of being perfect.

Rebooblican edition.

About to start Disgaea 2 for the 3rd time, hoping I have enough patience to get through the entire postgame this time instead of dropping it right after the story mode. Fuck pirates, fuck felonies, fuck cellphones, fuck dark world stage unlock conditions , etc.

>Decide to play Kingmaker again
>As an added challenge play it on hard mode this time and try to fully immerse myself in the world and act out every decision as if i was really there and only do things that would make sense from my characters pov
>Follow up on my main Rival and get dragged into war with the kobolds and mites
>Site witht he Mites to get rid of the kobolds
>Die to kobold mages because their aoe flame breath and magic missile are hard to deal with this ealy on in the game and the game just gives out a bunch of enemy encounters
>Side with the Kobold and die because i cant hurt mites without cold weapons
>Decide to explore the land a bit more since a proper adventurer would
>Die to an manticore encounter i cant outrun and escape
What am i doing wrong here?
Am i just this bad at the game?
I remember brezzing through it on Normal mode but now i cant clear the first act

Finished both the first game and Tie just now and wanted to discuss it. Despite the first game being pretty bare bones gameplay wise and the second one being way too easy with how many ways to get overpowered, I genuinely loved these two games in a way I hadn't felt before in a long time. Great OST, girls are cute, themes of friendship done in a way that doesn't just feel like stale tropes, Tie in particular really was able to capture that feel of summer vacation coming to a close especially I got closer to the end of the game. Wish there was a future for this series but it seems like the mobile game was a gigaflop and Mel Kishida seems like he's moved on. Anyone else have thoughts?

>Gets sent to a private tutor because she can't control her magic
>Attempts to murder him and then kill all of the elementals
Is she stupid?

There's a Square sale on Switch right now and I'm debating which of these two should I get.
I'll eventually get both in the future but I want to play one of these two now.

Which one?

Does anyone on here actually judge a game by how big the girls boobs are? I thought that was ironic.
Seems pretty retarded. not even a real political position, just being too lazy to pause the game and go jack off, really.

btw best jrpg girls thread

How do you make a pure fighter (no MP) interesting in an RPG?

>"the future of turn-based combat"
>"square enix could learn a lot from these guys"
>combat just adds action elements to make it less turn-based and more action/rhythm
>you could just play Sekiro and have 400x as much fun

Why are game developers, critics, and fans so fucking stupid?

this is actually a masterpiece that rivals 1 and 2 and actually bests them in many ways

Is this series worth playing if I don't masturbate to anime women?

All they have to do is patch in turn-based mode, and this instantly would sell a gorillion copies. Does Obsidian hate money?

I've heard rumors this board boils down to JRPGfags vs WRPGfags.
Is this true? And if so are we winning JRPGfags?

What's the strangest status effect you've ever seen in a RPG?

Is this true? Do crpgs now need to be immersive sims to be considered good these days

>gear that provides out-of-combat bonuses

Is it because of no gays?

Going to play Morrowind for the first time, no mods. Want to wear heavy armor and just use a sword and shield, nothing fancy just John Elder Scroll. Breton or Imperial? Any other advice appreciated.

can we have a comfy tactical rpg game thread?
For my taste, I prefer more japanese tactical rpg than non japanese games. (it is because of the design of the characters: I like anime like design)
example, non japanese tactical rpg with anime design: sword of convalria (it's chinese and free on steam)
Well, game like FF tactics (pic related) for those who don't know what I'm talking about.

Its almost 15 years old.

Is he right?

Ok what am I doing wrong? Something about this game's combat is not clicking with me but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. No it's not the armor system, I get that your party should go all-in on either physical or magical. No it's not the environmental aspect, I've played DOS1.
But I always feel like I'm either not doing enough damage and fights take forever, or I die too easily.
