    Swayer did an AMA on reddit some hours ago and he finally revealed the secret most codexers in this thread wanted to know since decades ago:

    What RPG should I play next?

    Maybe you should trust codex sophisticated tastes and try some of the top 2022 rpgs as for example 5th official bestThe Impregnation of Elves: Conquest of the arrogant fairies. I don't think you need to grind too much to win there and the game includes interesting setting and mechanics to...

    Colorful stylized graphics in games - Americans vs Europeans vs Japanese

    That's not true. Dragon Quests and Final Fantasies as other japanese foundational examples were inspired by western Crpgs, (early Wizardrys and specially first Ultimas), but not directly by "D&D" original source or any other P&P rpgs "local trend" influence. D&D and P&P rpgs in general were...

    Elder Scrolls Why Morrowind is a bad RPG

    There are some enemies using glass armor pieces or weapons or other high level gear but as fixed handplaced items in mid-high level enemies, independently of player character level. In Morrowind almost all, roughly 3,000 enemies or friendly npcs are unique, non-randomized and only beasts and...

    What game are you wasting time on?

    Field of Glory 2. I recently did a Hannibal campaign and it was pretty challenging even it was just "average" difficulty and "static difficulty" option. I had a lot of fun. I'm going to try another campaign with achaemenids or byzantines on higher difficulty or maybe I could try the increasing...

    Akalabeth: World of Doom

    I think there was a bug in GOG version quests some years ago, but I played a couple of times and I didn't find it. Maybe you simply click too quickly over first part of dialogue? After the gremlin Lord B. wanto to kill a superior level monster... A viper? The carrion crawler? I don't remember...

    Your first adventure game?

    It's not the absolute first, that probably was some previous shitty microcomputer shovelware "adventure" or few early classics played casually on some friend's most powerful systems, but one of the first adventures I owned, played extensively, completed and that I still remember with reverence...

    GOG.com

    Btw someone knows if "special deals" for entire collections or series are still a thing? I think I didn't find one single of those buy all x less deals on gog since years ago.

    Fun Fact, Commander Keen was the favourite game and source of inspiration of some famous developer [/spoiler]

    Incline Which game should Hexen 2 replace on the Codex's Top 101 PC RPGs?

    Of course, the current list isn't enough incoherent, let's include other 20 shooters, action games, jrpgs and visual novels to replace shitty or mediocre rpgs or some equally dubious non-rpgs.

    World of Darkness Poll: Greatest computer RPG development studios of all time.

    You know 3 votes are not enough to vote for him. I like Geneforge series and I enjoyed (mildly in most cases) almost everything he did before late 2000s, but I could cite 10 or more studios before Spiderweb. He is probably the most prolific 1/2-developers micro-studio but even in that category...

    Least Favourite RPG Names

    Beneath Apple Manor. It suggests me a game about nameless perversions on Steve Jobs basement. Akalabeth: World of Doom. First rule for name (or whatever fantasy) creation: Just copy some tolkienesque shit, slightly modified on legal grounds. Ultima IX: Ascension. Not too bad, but considering...

    World of Darkness Poll: Greatest computer RPG development studios of all time.

    Many of my favourite crpgs have been developed by companies with dubious-very limited production besides their 1-2 masterpieces or in a couple of cases by new developers wich are just starting so in both cases they are not "best studios ever"*. On the other hand among those companies with more...
