this one. people love bioware style social party mechanics

I see 20 something white girls with zero personality gush about this game so I've literally never cared about it or have been interested in it

>>717399059 (OP)
Babby's first CRPG and checking enough boxes for people who don't know any better.

>>717399059 (OP)
Wahhhh popular thing isn't good enough for me wahhh

>>717399059 (OP)
everyone is pretty, that's how

>>717399116
but it seemed like the entire "gaming community" was losing their shit over this game. I've tried it twice and was just so bored by the lame progression and characters that I couldn't even get to the end of act 2.

name a better turn based rpg op

>>717399221
that's cus you're retarded and gay

>>717399059 (OP)
Normies are a force to be reckoned with, anon.

People that had played nothing but comfy games like Farmville and Animal Crossing New Horizons got to experience peak CRPG gameplay, and when they passed their ability checks they got a dopamine rush unlike anything they had felt before.

It received praise because it did what previous CRPGs did to an excellent degree, and although I still prefer BG1 to BG3, I still like BG3.

>>717399059 (OP)
Answer is non-RPG audience got wind of it and that's where the money is at.

Never understood the appeal to this slop.

>>717399224
divinity 2 was the same game with the same problems and still better somehow

>>717399059 (OP)

>>717399059 (OP)
You'll notice no one talks about anything except their waifus.

>>717399224

>>717399418
Based true and real

>>717399353
it has a much better ruleset even with the stupid armor system. action points are way better than actions
BG3 has better encounter design though

it truly is nuts

I don't know in what world this is the case, feels like they randomly slapped enemies around the map while the design in dos2 felt much more deliberate

>0 days without cucks seething over BG3’s success

>I see 20 something white girls with zero personality gush about this game so I've literally never cared about it or have been interested in it

Anon I hate to break it to you. They are only playing it cause it was popular and they thing they will get rich and famous by streaming, they dont actually give a fuck. Same with all the whores that sign up for onlyfans. Its easy af

I really felt it was just dragon age 1 with better graphics. Like the games were so damn similar.

>>717399059 (OP)
>reacting is my entire online personality

>>717399059 (OP)
I think if you take a step back and look at the story in this game it's one of the worst in any rpg.

>how the fuck did this game receive so much praise?
It's a chinese astroturf

>>717399059 (OP)
I hate it being just a bioware shitty divinity with worse gameplay and it just gets sucked off
I annoys me so cause divinity 2 is one of my fav games ever

I don't play D&D so I don't know if that's just how it is, but my main issue with the combat was that all the fun spells are concentration. So you're disincentivized from experimenting with them in favor of just using the ones that are objectively best in 99% of situations.

>combat is moving your pieces into cast range

This tells a lot more about your own personality than combat system of BG3

>>717403412
>describing a combat system accurately tells me a lot about your personality
yea and your post tells me a lot about your intelligence level

>>717403412
>running through some woods

???

>combat is moving your pieces into cast range

It is one of the deepest and fleshed out RPGs of all time. I'm not sure what the fuck the OP is talking about.

>>717403509
When does this happen in game? I cant think single fight where you get "jumped" by goblins

>>717405486

try playing the game first before engaging in discussion about it online

>>717405628
Not true but you know that and are just being a dishonest faggot because you don't like a game.

>>717405673
So it literally does not happen, thought so

>>717405674
I like the game but there is nothing "deep" about 5e

Surely you can't be serious

>>717399059 (OP)
It looked way too much like DoS 2, which I already wasn't a huge fan of.

retard alert

>>717399116
Even bioware (and I mean bg2) sluts had much higher standards than bald gay 3.

>>717405845
I'm sorry I'm not as much of a braindead, slop consuming drone as you.

>>717405889
>DoS2 is braindead slop
Jesus the fucking state of you retards.

>>717405965
And now watch them not give an example of a better game or actually contribute anything relevant to the conversation except "dis game bad i dun lyke it!".
The state of /v/.

>>717405889
DOS2 is one of the biggest brainlet filters out there. Looks like it just claimed another victim. Oh well, your loss.

>>717405889
>braindead, slop
DoS2 is probably the CRPG that requires the most strategy out of all of them, you're a fucking idiot

>>717405889
DOS2 has some of the absolute best and most free-form, open-ended, reactive combat with absolutely top-notch encounter and boss design.

It's easily top 3 turn-based games of all time. Get the fuck outta here retard. It runs circles around your typical CRPG's combat, and especially your shitty JRPGs

>>717399224
solasta

>>717406121
>DoS2 is probably the CRPG that requires the most strategy
yeah the strategy being hit thing until they're dead

>>717406572
>combat involves killing enemies
You don't fucking say. You also CC, buff, debuff, move around, use movement abilities, use utility moves, utilize environmental interactions, and avoid/alter combat based on dialogue choices leading up to that point.

Try again retard.

>>717406572
these types of comments are the dumbest shit people have ever said in a video game discussion ever. it's actually impressive

>>717399059 (OP)
you dont know shit. you can get really creative with the combat, same with dos2

>bg3 so shit retards have nostalgia for dos 2

>>717407102
the actual system itself is worse though

>>717399409
its odd to see a players character looking better than the in-game cast
usually players create some god awful freak either intentionally or not

>>717406572
as like all games

>>717399059 (OP)
Standards are at an all time low.
This game impressed people who 10 years ago called you a loser for playing video games, same for E33 and all the other norp garbage.

>>717407629
Thats because Liarian cant even make a character creator.
You just get six pre made faces and thats it. You cant even pic voice lines, its all the same sissy britbong dialogue, wether you are a human wizard or a dwarf berserker.

>>717406883
>You also CC
>debuff
you need to remove their armor before you can cc, might as well just fucking kill them then
>move around
i guess so?
>use movement abilities
which there is so many of that you might as well not move around normally
>utilize environmental interactions
yeah the enemies being placed right below a giant painting that's just begging to be knocked over is strategic af lmao
>and avoid/alter combat
yeah avoid combat when you see a guy that's higher level than you and kill everything else, such strategy i can't even

>>717408131
>might as well just fucking kill them then
oh so you didn't play on tactician, good to know

>>717399059 (OP)
>cookie cutter dnd setting
Baldur's Gate had a cookie cutter dnd setting, and that's why it's a good game. This abomination had a critical role setting, which is much worse and doesn't work for anyone with a brain.

>>717408281
>so buttmad he just jumps straight to implying instead of defending the game

Restoring to make the glowie mod cry

>>717407821
oh, well shit. nevermind, OPs a faggot
so, that whole article about giving the player all these options and people just made White men was a bunch of BS?

>>717408409
you said why not just finish the enemies off after depleting their armor instead of using CC, showcasing that you either didn't play the game at all or played it on such a low difficulty you didn't need to actually engage with the mechanics

>>717408491
i'm sorry that you're so shit at the game that you think that tactician is any difficult

>>717408452
Still no idea why they delete that. Imagine what kind of creature moderates this board, lol.

>>717408482
you get premade faces but you can pick any skin color you want

>>717408593
pedo

But anon, cookie cutter fantasy setting is the best. The "my fantasy setting is unique because orcs are really smart and dwarves live in trees" shit is garbage.

>>717409043
now in dnd5e, orcs are just spic immigrants

>>717408131
You've literally been destroyed every thread and still keep coming back. Why even bother

>>717409508
>You've literally been destroyed
cope,
>every thread
you schizo

>>717399059 (OP)
it's me or this game is way easier than the divinity games?

>>717408131
CC and debuffs are insanely fucking useful, and if you think otherwise you just have not played higher difficulties, straight up, there is no other way.

CC just isn't the insanely OP end all be all that it is in DOS1 where you can just stack initiative and spam them from turn 1 and the enemy can never even move.

Marked, Madness, Slow, Teleport, Warm, Wet are all not affected by armor.

Additionally, Burn, Poison, Bleed, Necrofire, Acid, Suffocating, Entangled, Deathwish, and Ruptured Tendons are not affected by armor with the Torturer talent.

And it goes without saying that any enemy on the field with their armor stripped is fully vulnerable to CC, and generally enemies have more HP than armor.

So that's a lot of uses for CC. Now fuck off retard

>>717409909
>you just have not played higher difficulties
i did and i beat it by basically just smacking things to death instead of pretending to be smart
almost like they should design their system to not punish diverse parties

>>717408131
>which there is so many of that you might as well not move around normally
I mean except for the fact that these all have opportunity cost to learn, cost additional AP, and have multi-turn cooldowns. Maybe play the game?

>yeah the enemies being placed right below a giant painting that's just begging to be knocked over is strategic af lmao
I'm not even sure what fight you're referring to, but just goes to show how many interactions there are. In addition to the many found in the environment that can shift the tide of a fight, you also have synergies between the elements you create which can be devastating. No other game does this so well.

>avoid combat when you see a guy that's higher level than you and kill everything else, such strategy
Except you just acted like five seconds ago that you grug smash through every fight mindlessly? Also many of these require both skill and dialogue checks, where not only do you need a baseline skill in a category, but you also have to read the character's motivations and personality to determine what dialogue option response is best. It's not like there's just big a red "AVOID COMBAT" button

It's insane that games with a tiny fraction of the quality, depth, or challenge of DOS2 don't have dedicated schizos that bitch every thread, yet somehow DOS2 broke and filtered you schizos so hard that you project your mindrape in every thread

>>717410207
there's no cost at all to learning those skills, they cost less ap than moving normally and you can have enough that they're never on cooldown
and you're telling me to play the game, lol lmao even

>>717408549
Post your achievements.

>>717410380
Again, you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Multi-classing to learn additional mobility abiltiies requires you to invest points in those trees, or be tied to a subpar piece of armor (that will quickly become weak armor-wise) that grants you some those stats. Obviously they also use memory too.

>you can have enough that they're never on cooldown
Yes, by significantly weakening your character by doing shallow multi-classing in multiple trees just for their movement abilities, as well as taking multiple points of memory away from vital skills. For some characters that *really* need a ton of mobility this might be worth it, but there is a ton of tradeoff for this.

Plus you have talents like Pawn that give you free movement every turn, as well scoundrel that increases your distance per AP, so it's not like spamming mobility spells is the only method way to have mobility.

You're such a disingenuous idiot that shows at every fucking turn that you have a shallow understanding of the game from playing (probably not even beating) the game on lower difficulties.

>>717410861
i pirated it of course, i don't feel like supporting these devs

>>717410895
>Multi-classing to learn additional mobility abiltiies requires you to invest points in those trees
oh no! investing points in the skills that have synergy with your build is bad! also there's no skill trees nor multiclassing, you didn't play the game

>>717410907
>constantly says blatantly wrong garbage showing you barely played the game
>oh btw I pirated it hehe, so can't provide any proof I ever played it XD
Fuck off already retard. You act like this game raped you and killed your dog just because it was too difficult for you. Move the fuck on already and stop crying

>>717411008
if you can't tell that i played it by now it's just blatant coping

>>717411008
>it was too difficult for you
pretty sure it was you that tried to pretend (or not!) that tactician is any difficult

Is it better to multiclass or focus on one class?
Seeing how Hexblade plays I wonder if it'd be good to dip a level or 2 Paladin for melee debuffer/caster

>>717411121
depends on the class
as a cleric you want to stay pure, but as a thief you'll be a triple-class by the end

>>717410984
>literally one movement ability
>synergy with your builld
Retard you just fucking said how you grab a movement skill from every skill school so they're always off cooldown. Fuck off idiot.

And yes, the skill categories unlock a tree of abilities which you can use, and dipping your toes in multiple of them for a mixture of low-level abilities is multi-classing. You are so fucking stupid it's unreal

>>717399059 (OP)
because it's just dnd in a video game and a lot of people are into that

>>717411271
no, i didn't say that
maybe fucking learn to read instead of seething your ass off
or at least accept that your game is not really that deep

>>717411090
Just fucking stop you embarrassment. You're not fooling anyone, we know for a fact that you're full of shit.

You come into this thread every single time like a dumbass spouting out nonsense and having absolutely no fucking idea what you're talking about, and get called out every fucking time yet you still fucking keep doing it.

>>717411354
>n-n-n-no I didn't s-s-s-say that!!!
Shut the fuck up idiot, we all saw what you said. Go sit in the fucking shame cube you inbred shitstain

>>717399224
turn based RPGs just suck as a genre, that's actually the whole problem

>>717411382
why are you referring to yourself as multiple people and to multiple people as myself, schizo?

>>717411428
>we all saw what you said
are you seething yourself into mutiple personalities disorder or what
if you "all" saw it then you "all" can quote it

>>717411354
No, you most definitely did say that:
>you can have enough that they're never on cooldown
I shouldn't need to explain this to you.

>>717411532
and if you can't see the difference between that and
>Retard you just fucking said how you grab a movement skill from every skill school
you must be mentally unwell

>>717411428
I've not seen that clip in decades. I'm glad shame cube has survived the times

>>717411596
Actually they mean the same thing if you actually played the game, which you very clearly have not. You are grabbing multiple movement abilities from multiple skill schools and create a multi-classing build spread extremely thin by doing so.

Again, I really shouldn't even have to explain this to you.

Why is hating games so forced on 4chan?

>>717411721
>Actually they mean the same thing
no
you said every
