What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?

Uh, Anevia? When I told you to clean it up I didn't mean "just dump it in the middle of the square"

What roles did you play today?

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
playing with dollies that I can romance

>>535122795
"People" who kill Camellia should be put on a watchlist.

Jesus. I completely forgot the timeskip is half a fucking decade.

>>535122621 (OP)
If it does something that makes me actually recoil in making a choice, DE stuck to me because of that fucking phone call. Cool moments are enough as well, DOS2s candle scene was very memorable to me.

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
Characters, writing and the moments it all comes together

>>535122952
How kind of Caeso to wait till the barely legal 15 year old ass reches age of consent before plapping her

>>535123538
nani

>>535122621 (OP)
Setting and characters. Bit of a no-brainer.
But numerous outcomes, both serious and silly, are always fun to see.

>>535123597
I mean you. You're what - 14, 15 during the Asia Minor events? And he's pushing 40

Should I go to Kenabres festival straight away or wait to finish all the companion quests? Is there any difference in interactions?

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
atmosphere and writing

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
playing it when I was in high school

>>535122621 (OP)
a t m o s p h e r e

>>535123691
>picking Caeso over Cato
Absolutely PLEBEIAN taste.

>>535124693
Sorry, I love men with mommy issues. And Cato looks like a wimp

>>535125092
Utterly disgusting

>>535125423
He princess carries me to the tent. Cato probably can't even lift a toothbrush

>>535120278
This: >>535121940 though I'm still playing just won't post about it since I started over

My final post and little review: >>535004721
I hope my posts inspired some anons to try it, it's a nice game I think. Of course it's hard to appeal to all CRPG fans but I've had an unexpectedly good time.

>>535124693
Does he do anything if you play a woman?

Do you just skill monkey as an officer or do you have some attack capabilities?

>>535125702
Who, Cato? Yeah, he proposes an arranged marriage to give you legitimacy. It can go two ways, either you break up with your current squeeze and marry him for real, or go ahead with the sham marriage while keeping your current lover

>>535125829
Yeah, officer an be a good dd

>>535123970
I think you need to finish the companions' quests, otherwise you can't do their content.

>>535125702
Bullies her. Solves her legal problems. Asks her uncomfortable questions. Brings her wine. Fucks her and asks her to marry him afterwards. Helps her family. Worships her with words and supports her. Basically, Cato is a tsundere stoic simp in this route. 10/10 would marry him again, top tier husband material

>>535126071
Thanks

>>535126146
Both Cato and Caeso are great. Haven't done Bestia yet, will probably do when I decide to replay it

>>535125559
also the music's good
this track in particular fucking hits when it comes on in combat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k--6x7yg1OQ

At certain times the music weirdly reminded me of pillars. Nice all around. Except I often got tired of the Satellite View music when I was trying to organize inventory and decide what to scrap, so I would mute that, but only because I'd heard it so much.

on a scale of slavjank how good is The Thaumaturge?

>>535126146
And some other bits and pieces, as well

>>535128191
Wow, an unironic catofemcel. I'm impressed

>>535128191
Why did you remove your name?

>>535128809
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. His cold logical dimeanour is hot

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
Definitely the enemies, but especially the main antagonist.

The Caseo dude looks hot but I read he has a slave that he impregnated or some shit? Being a femcel is suffering.

>>535129915
>The Caseo dude looks hot
Friendly reminder he's a quater century older than you

>>535130041
That doesn't bother me

I just realized the unique items has special bonuses just affixing their charms on to a regular weapon don't give.
fuck

>>535129915
So?

>>535130041
So?

>>535129915
>the Caseo dude

The feminine urge to play a roman empire rpg just to compare the men like pieces of meat

>>535130502
fucking femcels

Randomizing damage, weapon abilities, and special bonuses is fucking retarded.

>>535130430

It's the last years of the Republic. Julius Caesar dies in prologue and you sort of take his place retracing his steps and achievements

If Cleopatra is alive, it's not yet the Empire.

>>535133280

also what the fuck?
i swear i was in the other one

>>535122621 (OP)
>What makes a CRPG truly memorable to you?
companions interacting with other companions. I fucking live for that shit. My Ideal game would be one where you manage a party and while they go out adventuring and shit and have downtime their dynamics will shift. of all things miitopia is the closest game I can think of to what I would want, the miis can get jealous, fall in love, have fights and this affects them in battle, like 2 miis that are bickering will step on eachother's toes and get in the way of eathother during combat, while miis that are getting along unlock new skills and help eachother in combat. I'd want something like that but with characters that are established by the game and not just custom made, and have the systems go indepth more than a Nintendo mii game does.

isnt that every crpg companion ever

>>535146809
Imagine tits mcgee there coming up to you in the war camp in a dress and telling you that she's actually your veteran commander

>>535146858
Well, no. Regill and Daeran quests aren't about that for example and their whole personality doesn't change depending on how you conduct yourself

>>535146858
no, apparently most companions are special snowflakes and the mc does what they tell him to in their story and pacing derailing companion quest

>>535146858
Not really, but you're right in a sense that there are too many companion quests that play out this way. It makes sense for some of them - Emder and for example, who is literally retarded. Still I wish more companions demonstrated agency in their storylines

>>535147160
Daeran absolutely has a player influence mechanic. His whole response to the scheme at the end changes and he has a few different endings depending on what you do.

>You remember all the episodes of Daeran being worried about you and your relationship throughout the game
Pure unadulturated kino. Best romance in the game for sure

>>535146332
You got to understand, She craves for knight-commanders (white) firm and commanding hand.

VTMB: from a roleplaying perspective, how do I justify knowing 1-2 spells for path of blood before I've even met Strauss or know what Thaumaturgy is?

I still wish there was a route where Arueshalae turns out to have manipulated you all along and you fell for it against your better judgment and advice of everyone around

>>535147602
These are so much better than what we got

>>535147694
isn't some basic knowledge inherent to your bloodline?

It's pretty hard to fuck up Seelah's companion quest. Like you have to either really needle her on purpose for whatever random shit she blames herself for for no reason or somehow be retarded enough to fuck up the wedding.

>>535147694
It just comes to you naturally, same way you don't need lessons on turning that girl into your blood doll

>>535147827
No you just have to tell her "Make our own choices, god damn it"

>>535146809
I will now bring the Pax Romana to the barbarians

>>535148250
No. It needs to be a 1-1 recreation of the tabletop. You should have to spend years in game levelling up
Devs these days just don't get it

I beat the 'vok and now it just takes me to the main menu. Why not let me continue from there with my new xp gain?

Where the fuck do I find this gay folder? There's nothing in /steamapps/common/BGEE
You're telling me I won't even get to keep playing with the same character anymore for the second game? Wtf bro, fuck you. This is the sort of thing you're supposed to have working, beamdog.

You don't even have to export a character. It should just show your saves. Are you trying to import into ToB or something?

It's in Owlkek's hands now

>>535153051
bg1 is the steam version and bg2 is over gog + I'm on linux and the steam bg1 version is running native linux and the bg2 on gog is running through wine. Maybe that has something to do with it or something.

>>535154706
It's not enough that I win - others should lose as well

Oh great. Talking holes think they know military tactics

>>535153169
Never tried the steam version but you should still be able to just import your last save file no?

>The monster disappeared, and silence returned once more. Steam rises from freshly baked cookies and fragrant tea on the table. Arueshalae gazes at her dream. You've never seen such joy on her face. “I... I just want to live here, in the mortal world. With you. I've solved the goddess's riddle. This is my true dream!”

>Arueshalae’s fragile body flares with a rainbow light, a swarm of blue butterflies surrounds her. She looks at you with shining eyes. “I love you. Will you be with me? Will you share my dream?”

>The girl flinches, but doesn’t pull her hand away. She squeezes your hand with her dry, hot fingers. “I believe you. You must be real — I don’t want to imagine a world where you’re not.”

>As if she was just waiting for that, Arueshalae answers your smile with one of her own. “Together, no hardship will scare us. We’ll get through it! We definitely will!”

>The heat radiating from Arueshalae’s body warms you and fills you with peace. Closing her eyes, she leans closer into you, her face moving toward yours...

>Arueshalae takes your hand in her small, hot palm, and the world around you fades away.

With sincere apologies for the delay. I bless this thread with my hands.

>>535156550
Thank you very much, Arueshalae.

At least you could talk about Kingmaker and not the objectively inferior sequels.

>>535158762
Wraith righteous is not a sequel to kingmaker!

>>535122828
I did the corpo ending in Cyberpunk 2077.
Fighting alongside Takemura was cool, even if the final outcome wasn't.

>>535158762
Wotr is the best crpg ever made.
Refusing to agree is like being a migrant worker in US who keeps screeching - "US is not that good of a country" yet refuses to go back home.
People talk about Wotr the most because it's that good.

>>535159052
WotR somehow makes a demonic invasion feel low stakes. It's like a carnival ride.

Jimmy's VA is in wotr now. And some other va's from rt I'm pretty sure. Some npc sound mighty familiar

>>535159490
Voice acting is annoying because it feels like a waste if I skip it, yet it takes 5x as long to go through dialogue with it.

>>535159490
Abelard too. When was the DLC released? With how blatant it is it might even be an easter egg for rt. Or maybe they're just saving on voice actors and are just using the ones that they are currently working with

>>535159052
Why are Frieren dunces always wrong about everything?

>>535159052
>Story
NWN1 tier basic slop
>Characters
Underdeveloped
>Companions
Poorly implemented side-shows that stop talking after their quest
>Gameplay
Sometimes fun, sometimes gotcha cancer
>Build variety
Ok, this ones actually good
>Replayability
Could be good, but hampered by shitty level design that leads to very sloggy sections

Tldr its more like being a financially impaired suburban American saying USA is number 1 while quietly ignoring the 3rd world tier shitholes down under the overpass.

>>535160221
>why are slop-gobbling retards retarded?

Its weird that we didn't get a rift stalker for the space marine companion, thier whole thing is hanging out on the edge of the empire to rediscovered lost planets and fighting off xenos on the edge of humanity.

>>535160115
>Or maybe they're just saving on voice actors and are just using the ones that they are currently working with
It's not so much saving as just working with people they already know. Abelard and Jimmy have good VAs, it makes sense to reuse them
I'd reuse good VAs even more, for more than one role in a single game.

>>535160583
That would been a good excuses to give us a space marine companion much earlier and not within the last 10 hours of the game.

Whichever game you considered good is either forgotten or will be forgotten while WotR will keep being posted.

>>535125559
JA3 is great.
After so many JA re-makes failed games, one that is actually good.

And taking out the Legion feels really satsifying.

Judging from the etude title, the trial in Act 3 was originally supposed to be before Vect himself, and Marazhai's orginal name was "Maraja"
>Maraja Aezyrraesh
Not beating the Actually Indian allegations any time soon.

>>535160583
>thier whole thing is hanging out on the edge of the empire to rediscovered lost planets and fighting off xenos on the edge of humanity.
Sure, but we barely do any of that
It's all inquisition stuff, it was supposed to be a DH game.

GIB RAZMIR BF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

The space marine companion should have been a raptor who helps with all of your logistics.

>>535162103
Do you think Razmi-kun bottoms or tops?

>>535161741
>Marazhai's orginal name was "Maraja"
"Maraja" is just alternative transliteration of "мapaжa", they sound exactly the same in russian, so no it wasn't his original name - it's the same name. But yeah, saarazhai isn't gonna redeem allegations

>all the power armor is only avaliable late game
Owlcat knows that there is different tiers of power armor in 40k right?

crpg idea, bethesda makes an actually good space game instead of starfield with no aliens

>>535165306
oh yeah that reminds me, owlcat is about to make the SAME EXACT MISTAKE with the expanse game. No fucking aliens. In space sci-fi. How retarded can you be?

I sent ulbrig away earlier in the game (as I do with all companions I hate), did I lock myself out of all the best shifter gear?

Is there any good toughness builds in rogue trader? Like something that will make me an ubkillable tank even on unfair.

For the person who was asking, yes you do get to keep your pet in Cumrag.

>>535171054
It would've been stupid for a game to strip you of your major Class Ability.

>>535171054
Thanks I just did the palace fight so thats epic to know. Insane though, I feel like they've balanced a lot of encounters in this recent dlc update and made a lot of the game easier. They made some fights harder but I feel like the difficulty spike ones are much easier and I assume pets in commoragh will make it a lot easier as well. That fight with the commissar with only argenta and yrliet was fucking impossible last time.

>>535171442
Owlcat are stupid but not that stupid

>>535171442
true, but on the other hand, there is a class who's identity is sword, and there is a class who's identity is gun, and they take those away. so I could have seen it go either way.
maybe have a trigger where you find your companion in the box of guns in the gladiator hideout where every class restocks

>>535171584
I agree it feels a lot easier. I didn't do anything particularly special and I'm breezing through fights that used to be tough eg Cinder, Aurora.

>>535171591
That would have worked. You don't have to do any fighting until then

>>535171591
Most likely it's impossible in the code to remove the pet, since it's not an item

>>535171591
On the other hand, I just had this exchange with Malice
It reads like he was giving me my skull swarm back, but I already had the skull swarm with me.
I guess you're meant to get the pet back when you meet Malice, but it's owljank coding.

>blaming beamdog for using tools you don't understand in the slightest
making linux accessible was a mistake

>>535156185
It says in the game that the files should be exported to my 'characters' folder in the folder for the game, but there is no characters folder and when I tried making one and exporting then, nothing happened.

>>535175124

check in your ~/.wine folder

>>535153169
$ man find

>>535174087
>>blaming beamdog for using tools you don't understand in the slightest
So if I'm inside my game yeah? And I'm in the 'export character' section and I press the button that says 'export character' and it says "exported to 'characters' folder" and nothing happens, that somehow isn't beamdogs fault? If they're gonna ship a linux version of their game, then it's their responsibility to make sure everything in the game works, including my ability to export my character.

>>535175124
Wine should generate a complete copy of the relevant file structure, contained within the wine directory

>>535175497
But that's the native linux version of the game, so it should be in the steam/steamapps/common folder for the game.

>>535175587
Oh right
In your main user directory look in .local/share/Baldur's Gate - Enhanced Edition
Turn on hidden files if you haven't already

>>535175496
It does work. It's your fault for not understanding wine. Between BG1 and BG2 you've essentially changed into a virtual machine. They're not going to personally come to your house and help you find files on your own computer my dude.

What makes an RPG good or bad? Give it some thought, don't just be gay.

>>535179262
Replayability. If there's none, it wasn't an RPG in the first place.

>>535179262
1) The story and setting. If I can't forget my feeble human flesh and immerse myself in the events of the game I'm not getting past the first two hours.
2) The combat system. I'm not asking for excessive variety, I'm just asking that it's interesting enough that I won't get too bored by the time the first half of the game is done at which point I'll definitely be bored with the combat and just slog thorugh it to finish the story.
Also no or at least minimal presence of gross shit like niggers or bestiality or cannibalism or whatever.

>>535179262
World and how you interact with it.

>>535176641

>>535179262
Dollies

>>535179262
Whether the companions give me sex or not.

>Let's talk about something else.
>Sure
>I must take my leave

>>535179262

Also magic being potent and spectacular but that's not as important.

>>535181724
>Dollies
Meaning?

>>535183469
this guy gets it

dwarf with axe or dwarf with firearm?

>>535185069
Yes.

>>535185069
Both.

>>535179262
The balance between good writing, decent gameplay, and an engaging story.
And obviously, the lack of this balance or a clearly weak element makes a game bad.

No matter what anyone says, the combat system is also very important for an RPG. Without a decent combat system, like in WOTR or RT, playing the game would simply be unenjoyable, as is the case with BG3. Even if BG3 had good writing and an interesting story (which it doesn’t), it would still be a bad game due to its terrible combat.

>>535185069
Dwarf with axe makes zero sense. Fantasy dwarves should be using spears and polearms, or ideally crossbows, things that would make up for their disadvantage. An axe exacerbates it, like a blind man plugging his ears.

>>535185069
Of course with Axe. Here's your portrait:

>>535183469
> Also magic being potent and spectacular

>>535185678
axes are for cutting tallfags like trees

>>535186142
An axe is second only to a dagger as being the worst possible weapon for a short man.

>>535183469
> Romanceable Monster-girls.
Sorry, friend, but romances have no place in RPGs. They’re a waste of money and time on things that appeal to people who barely play games. I don’t know who decided that trying to attract the audience of visual novels and adult games made on RPG Maker to proper RPGs was a good idea, but they seriously need to rethink their life choices.

Romances actively make any RPG worse because they replace what could have been meaningful content.

Not to mention that lust leads to pornography, and pornography leads to organic brain damage and the corruption of the soul.

I want more Wuxia CRPGs and shit, fuck's sake.

>>535186047
Are there even games that are as magical as Wotr?
I can name may be NWN1 - it has Epic Spells and Timestop.
BG2 has Timestop, Wish and "Kill entire Room" spells too.
RT's spells don't clear whole arena as opposed to Executor Pyromancer for example but still close.

>>535186267

>>535198734
The Bible actually has no prohibition whatsoever against jerking off. Jesus said that if you look at a woman with lust, you've already committed adultery in your heart [Mat 5:28], and you could argue against certain kinds of porn on that basis. But there's nothing on jerking off by itself. So long as you only fap to AI-generated erotic roleplay, it's fine.

It's fun looking back on games years later and realizing just how bad they actually are

>>535201358
Fapping to CRPGs are OK, so long as either
A) The erotic content is presented as text and not images, since looking at images of women is potentially adulterous. Owlcat games are fine here, but Baldur's Gate 3 is more risky.
B) You pledge to always remain faithful to your CRPG wife. Even if no priest will officiate your marriage to a fictional character, Catholic canon law recognizes the concept of NATURAL marriage.
So long as either of these conditions are met, it can't be sinful.

i recently played witcher 3 after 10 years, i liked 2. its pretty fucking bad every quest has me activate my tucan sam vision while geralt narrates the scooby clues i found. its just some movie where occasionally i get to choose between one of two dialogues if i want to get paid or not. combat has always been consistently bad through out the series though, but i don't know why added this this clue yellow line 'gameplay'

Just so you know, in medieval Europe, witchcraft was always associated with femininity, and if a man was suspected of being a witch, it automatically implied his homosexuality.

Nothing has changed since then.

Finished The Danse of Masks. It was not fucking worth it. The 2 minutes of content with your waifu are nice but not for that fucking price tag. Everything else, aside from getting to listen to rt voice actors was meh at best. I do not recommend you replay the game just for the DLC like I did. The Last Sarkorian continues being the only worthwhile wotr DLC.

The game for mages started to be despised here since the release of Dark Souls because playing as a mage in any game makes it TOO easy, and objectively speaking, there’s nothing more masculine than fighting an enemy face-to-face while wielding a huge sword. Casting magic from behind allies is the domain of unmanly men.

>>535205158
This is a good game because it actively utilizes the strengths of 5e and tries to avoid the problematic aspects of 5e. This game surpasses BG3 in every way, except for the porn elements, which are absent in the game.

It's why being stuck with Anevia unless it's endgame swarm is good reactivity but killing the clown in Act 3 on sight is cringe

and what's your alternative content after killing them? any quests from the moonrise towers other than the main quest?

you can be evil without durge origin, but then it's even more devoid of content

>>535206489
For the same reason evil runs are unfinished in all other games - nobody plays them

>>535208510
I don't see why you would play without the Durge Origin, I tried it once and it was even more dogshit reactivity wise aside from the Class options.

I've never understood the entitlement behind "the evil path in this RPG owes me REPLACEMENT companions." It treats characters like they're Christmas presents, and obviously the evil-but-cool kids are jealous of the nice, well-behaved kids getting more toys. Maybe an organic story shouldn't spawn evil replacements just so you can feel good about being bad. Most relevant BG3 companions are Morally Gray anyway. You can live without the moralfags on your Coldsteel the Edge run.

Wow

Problem with Chaos route is that it's strips you of too many good things while giving crap back.
The Edge of Daybreak sword should literally SHIT on every other energy sword to the point "It feels bad" not being a heretic while playing melee pyros.
For going chaos, you leave behind:
>Heinrix, second best companion and highest damage dealing one
>2 Soldier companions - Unless your RT is one, you'll have zero soldiers onwards.
>Lore:Imperium to HP% - This is a big deal for Executors - which means it FURTHER soldifies Psyker Heretics as inferior builds
>Burn on any crits during round 1 - this IS a big deal because otherwise you're forced to take AoE flame spell instead of control flame to spread it - ONCE AGAIN solidifies Heretic Pyro being shit
It'll half a year until they do something with Executor but so far Chaos route only gives you Strongest Officers because you can farm perils and put them on the enemies via Psyber. - This is literally the only good Heretic build.

It doesn't matter how much effort dev puts into "evil path", it will NEVER, EVER be played by 99% of playerbase, even on multiple repeating playthroughs. Everyone playing rpgs, save for very few autistic nerds, self inserts by playing good male human warrior and picking options which are "right" instead of roleplaying. Both Mass Effect and Kotor have equally nice "evil" paths and yet nobody picks them. Actually, Mass Effect Renegade has identical quality and is just slightly more rude and it's enough to make it worthless for a vast majority of playerbase. Let alone outright evil lol. Quality of "evil playthrough" is completely inconsequential to it's pick ratio. You could have a game where "evil playthrough" is objectively better designed and still nobody would choose it.

btw, this is why le tough moral choices meme is a popular thing to put into c/arpgs. Even though it's utterly retarded from roleplaying perspective. It relies on playing on Player's emotions and conscience which in properly designed crpg shouldn't be a factor. You are NOT the character you play as, you take on another completely different role. Chud should be able to roleplay as a commie in game, Liberal should be able to roleplay as an unironic nazi, Religious person should be able to roleplay as an atheist/demon worshiper etc. And not simply pick options they would pick if they ended up in game

So the question should never be
>what is the right, the best option to pick in a particular quest?
it should be
>which option fits the best character I'm playing as right now?

Thus making le tough moral choices dilemma null. But 99% people play cRPGs wrong by self inserting and not roleplaying. Which is why they will never, ever play "evil playthroughs" either, no matter their quality.

I always play as an enlightened centrist or a Chaotic Neutral bastard out for himself on my first playthroughs. After that I do an Evil run and then if I really like the game I go for the goodie-two-shoes.

I don't want to do any late game mythic paths because Aivu will be sad

>>535216283
Why don't most games let you cast spells in wildshape form? The whole appeal of Druid is being something like a bear wizard or a lion wizard.

Paladin but I get 3 free oathbreaking passes

Solasta 2 class idea. Uninstall Wizard

the oath change is comically stupid
there's an oath that's literally just

and bam, you get powers
why bother with literally anything else in-setting

>>535218118
Oaths sound cool like a concept, like a Knightly Order or something, the fact that anyone can swear a random oath and get powers is retarded

I don't really get why paladin is so popular
it's quite boring, gets smite and that's it
if you want to play a holy warrior then you can just play a cleric which gets much more variety and tools
if you want to play a knight then fighter will work even better and you can just roleplay yourself some bullshit oath

Okay, how the FUCK do i Dispel Magic in WOTR? For serious. Isn't there a spell to get rid of enemy buffs? I'm so fucking tired of missing 80% of hits because the enemy has buffs up their asses and shit like concealment?

>>535218396
>it's quite boring
this is martials in any fantasy setting

>>535220453
It does and there's a reason why there's tiers of it and how it rolls for every single buff the enemy has. Also some enemies have PERMANENT buffs so you can't even rip that off.

>>535221001
Well, what spell is it?

>>535221467
Dispel Magic, Greater. It's arguably worse though since it's a burst spell not targeted, so (I think) you will also hit your allies and dispel their buffs. You can obviously put selective on it but all that work?

>>535220453
Yes. It's called Dispel Magic

>>535220453
Corrupt Magic

>>535221727
>It's arguably worse though since it's a burst spell not targeted
No it isn't. It can be aoe or targeted

>>535220453
It's called going into Toybox and removing the bullshit.

What's a reasonable xp multiplier in WOTR? I'm sick of cheating with the in-game settings and just want to use Toybox for it instead.

>>535223317
None. You will reach maximum lvl far earlier than you reach the end game

>>535223603
Yes, but the early game feels like ass without any tweaking.

>>535216268
>Children are reddit

>>535214312
You also forgot to mention that both Iconoclast and Dogmatic alignment bonuses are OP broken compared too anything in Heretical
I also don't think it helps that devs are scared to punish players nowadays, good/heroic choices should not be rewarding mechanically or gameplay wise,stuff like removing access to shop,make boss fights harder or make the party/character weaker stat wise should be the norm for non-evil playthroughs. Roleplaying a good person should be difficult and the reward should mostly come from the heroic acts itself

I hope Radical choices in Dark Heresy are always statistically better than Puritan choices, stuff like better gear,permanent buffs or access to unique trader/shops. Would make roleplaying much more interesting

How would you rebalance Executioner? We could start by changing the Carnival of Misery upgrade from inflicting all DoTs to all enemies to just those in a 2-cell radius for example. Add a 1 AP cost to abilities like Where it Hurts and Reckless Abandon. What else would you change?

Help me decide on the second archetype for my Vigilant Arbitrator soldier with a shotgun and shield.

Everything screams to pick Arch-Militant, but the problem is that my group already has Argenta, and she’s definitely going Arch-Militant. So, I’m considering Bounty Hunter, but as I read its bonuses, they all seem kind of lackluster...

Am I missing something, or is Bounty Hunter really just a minor support role for the rest of the team?

>Oh boy, can't wait to multiple threads of arguing which path is better "meta-wise" because X gets this buff while Y only gets this but can get buff 2 in the future.
I actively want this not to be the case, Radical choices should ALWAYS objectively be better than anything from Puritan gets stats,items or buffs wise. The reward for Puritan should be roleplaying a "good" and pure inquisitor that avoids the temptation of heresy

>>535224676
Why is it bad? In my mind it would enrich the roleplay experience for the player and make choices more interesting if you are frequently being seduced with gameplay rewards for taking the evil or immoral dialogue/path when RPing a virtuous character

What do I play while waiting for the next Rogue Tranny DLC (no Slopfinder)?

>>535227634
Because punishing the players for playing a certain way is stupid. If you get the Anal Gapper of Rape 9000 for killing the orphanage then the Good path needs to get something equivalent other than good fefees to make up for it.

>>535227692
temple of elemental evil
necromancers tale

>>535227692
Underrail.

best evil path ever was fallout 2 because it made the game harder and had the theme of all your actions being opposed to mutants, then you get to the end and enclave wants to kill you for being mutants

>>535227029
Bounty hunter is mostly geared for crit and armour penetration with a preference for snipers and pistoleros against boss enemies. Ideally AM works in a soldier's favour with shotguns, especially Vigiliants, with the different attack perks/types on offer. You *could* make it work, but if you wanna go full ranged combat mogul, it's usually AM.

>Because punishing the players for playing a certain way is stupid
Why is this bad? Older RPG frequently punished players for making retarded or non-optimal choices and they were better for it, some even view it as the golden years of video games. It gives choices in your game more weight when there are tradeoffs than everything being equal like modern day RPGs.
>if you get the Anal Gapper of Rape 9000 for killing the orphanage then the Good path needs to get something equivalent other than good fefees to make up for it.
I disagree, you saving the orphanage is a great reward. There's a small quest in Witcher 3 that rewards you with this picture, it doesn't impact your gameplay in any way but its something that I fondly remember from my first playthrough from almost 10 years ago. Being virtuous is its own reward.

>being seduced with gameplay rewards for taking the evil or immoral dialogue/path when RPing a virtuous character
But that's only meaningful if you're playing a virtuous character. What if you're playing an evil character?
Hell, what if you start out as good, but then get tempted into evil by the material rewards? What then? You still got most of the game to go, but all your future choices are solved because there won't ever again be a reason to pick the good option.

>>535230891
>you saving the orphanage is a great reward
Does that imply that being able to save the orphanage should be locked behind the evil path, since evil should get all the rewards?

>>535224224
>I hope Radical choices in Dark Heresy are always statistically better than Puritan choices
Radical will equal Iconoclast, ie "good"

The betrayal of the Infernis train maintenance guy caught me off guard. I gave him the right to bear arms, saved his people and family from torture and it was all used against me. Really felt like I got played hard.
Him asking to dump the rest of the survivors after the Sire dies also pissed him off. Even if they can't turn people into genestealers, they will act as a beacon for other cults and carry on their mutation for generations. Only an idiot would agree to let them live/spoiler]

Ok now what colour does the Infernus master have

>>535239656
can you really ask her about him?

No lol
Can't ask about any of the non-retinue people
I just found it amusing, because she should have instantly spotted him, as should have Jimmy

>>535240351
It's obvious multiple times during the game that jimmy kinda sucks as an inquisitor lmao
Do any of these two spot anything unusual about the fiddle player the first time you go to the freight train level?

>>535240704
Not as I recall

>>535240818
I undestand not wanting to ruin the DLC's plotline, but they (and Idira) not having a clue about what's going on is a pretty severe plothole. At least jimmy picks up fast and tell you about it early on I guess.
I wonder what would have happened to the ship if Kunrad Voigtvir's plot was successful though

Yeah sure, they even utilize psyker scanning groups for rooting out the cults, but we still have shitton of other psykers on the upper deck. It's just bad writing.

>>535249981
Frontline and support or nuker.

>>535249981

>>535249981
either of these
>>535250053
>>535250168
actively in the fray while keeping an eye on their followers or back line big thinker executing complex plans while preparing a nuke
love interest should be a healer or ranged attacker of some kind
peeler for a backline pc is also acceptable

Since I'm not a princeps that can make the most use of my beloved Khopesh, I just decided to have it in my offhand for when I get disarmed or run out of kills with my main weapons. Veles gets a ridiculous damage boost to unarmed and moves to match it.

>>535249981
I usually play talkers in party crpg's. Paladins and bards for dnd/pathfinder, and RT's noble origin+officer class felt so perfect.

For games like colony ship and fallout I generally do the same thing, high charisma and whatever talking skills. I use pistols, and if I have skill points left over after taking talking skills I'll take some medicine related things to keep my team alive. A leader and buffer and watching out for my team are the things I enjoy.

I generally don't do much damage and I also tend to leave non-talking skills to other people.

The class statistics that larian released for bg3 suggest that this approach is very common. The 4 charisma classes were all among the most popular.

Not to discount this, but I imagine the fact that bards and sorcerers weren't already taken by a companion and the one paladin follower being a late recruit factored in this

Yknow I'm actually wondering what's better for a dual wielding melee/pistol psyker. Mauls/Axes need two talents but save you 2AP and let the pistol work at full Ballistic Skill while Force Swords get bonkers damage and only need 1 talent but gimp the pistol. When can we get a force maul so I can spend 3 talents and get all the bonuses.

Isn't this what you cocksucking traitors wanted?

You can hate the shitty unity games all you want but Owlcat consumes discussion because they put out a game every two to three years and dlc twice a year while everything else in the genre is either one and done games from a decade ago or kickstarter junk.

they consume this general because it was a pathfinder turned wrath general. big boys like bg3 get there own general while the owl slopers had to blend their general to get bumps

>>535267505
BG3 having it's own general is retarded though. Shitty flat chested women because the eurotrash devs hate anything larger than a b cup, 5e being the shallowest system known to man with the "best" method to winning most major fights being terrain/barrel shenanigans and a mediocre linear plot that will never be updated because Wizards got pissy and wouldn't pay for expansions.
