Hey guys, I found some true incline

[Lazing Dirk]

So someone brought up this game earlier in IRC and I thought I'd check to see if my beloved Codex had a thread for it, and surprisingly there isn't, and no review either! This really surprised me, because this game seems to have quite a lot of incline to it.

The character creator is fairly basic (minor appearance tweaks plus starting perks), but as you progress through the game you find more and more ways to customise your character further (for combat or otherwise) and increase your stats. As far as builds go, there's at least 4 main builds you can go for (heavy, fast, spells, and a pacifist build), and no pre-set classes, so there's flexibility there. There's also various combat and non-combat perks you can get, and an interesting magic system. No level scaling at all, a large amount of dialogue, lots of NPCs you can interact with (talk, fight, train, etc), plus a twist on the usual morality system that can alter how you handle certain situations, along with some zones (and even weapons) that are dependant on it. Most of the quests can also be handled in different ways, with different outcomes, depending on your playstyle.

While it does have a good selection of enemies and NPCs, it does have a slight lack of other content (~10 main zones to explore, plus another 10 or so dungeons or hubs), and a limited selection or armour, weapons, and spells. It is free though, and open-source too, so I suppose I can forgive that. So yeah, you should definitely go and try Corruption of Champions if you haven't already.

It isn't an RPG unless it contains bromance. Bioware set the standard here!

Well guess what, you can do that too!

In ways Bioware would never ever implement.

I might be blind, but I don't see mentioned anywhere which game you're talking about...

 

[RNGsus]

Why?

 

[JarlFrank]

Nice twist at the end, I expected this post to not mention the title of the game at all and the game not existing, but that's a really nice twist at the end.

(Lilith's Throne is much better though)

Its a NSFW game. Looks shitty. Oh, and the link to the game itself is also NSFW.

Don’t click on it. Game looks retarded.

While it does technically have all the features I described in the OP, it's basically a silly porn game where most of that dialogue and quest flexibility I mentioned is dedicated to you fucking the various people/monsters/plants/machines you encounter in varying ways, or them doing to same to you if you lose. Codex didn't have a thread about it so I thought I'd post a bait and switch for shits and giggles. I don't recommend actually playing it, unless you're seriously bored and don't mind (or even enjoy (you fucking weirdo)) the seemingly-limitless amount of (mostly non-consensual) outrageous sexual encounters.

But is it as incline?

I wanted to make a witty remark that "RPG game" actually stands for "RTWP, Porn-inclusive, Genderfluid game" (which is why the "game" at the end is non-redundant), but the esteemed OP kind of ruined it already at the end of his opening post.

Shit I remember playing Corruption of Champions years ago. I look forward to turning into a hideous tranny again.

Then why don't you link to it Fritz.

In before mass conversions to Slaanesh worship furryism.

It's literally the first result when you google "Lilith's Throne", old man.

Has googling for things really become such a lost art?

Listen Adolf if I wanted to google I would google. Now bring me my link.

That''s exactly the reason why JF thinks it's "a much better game".

I check the wiki for it and there seems to be an almost complete lack of reptilian races, just a bunch of mammals and demons and shit. Fucking racists! Stop the oppression!

Over the past few days I've been house-sitting at a friend's place and figured I'd stick this thing on my USB stick and fart about with it while I'm away from my PC. In its current state, while it certainly has some nice customisation options and a ton of item variety (for clothing, at least), it trails well behind CoC, as least as far as RPG mechanics go (I can't believe I'm saying that about a flash porn game).

One big problem is that there is only 2 main stats, with all your physical stats condensed into one (at least as far as combat is concerned), so there's very little build variety beyond giving yourself a 2-handed sword instead of a magic rock and a shield, or maxing out magic instead of physical stats. This is even worse if you compare it to the modded version of CoC which - unlike the base game - is still being updated, and adds a few more weapons options, along with shields, and perks associated with those; you can be juggernaut in heavy armour and 2-handing a heavy weapon with damage bonuses, or a lightly-armoured guy who hits twice per turn with a smaller weapon and carries a shield, or dance around naked with a wizard's staff and dodge bonuses either teasing the enemy or blasting them with spells (just like a Dark Souls invader). All the perks in LT are also very boring, and generally do little more than passively increase your chances of winning a fight by making you hit a bit harder or whatever. The enchantment system is also totally broken, and makes the game a complete walkover once you start levelling up enough to rake in that precious essence, unless you pump the difficulty waaaaay up. The spell system is interesting at least, with different schools, albeit almost entirely unnecessary with how OP you can become.

Outside of combat, the current implemented quests are also basically fetch quests where the only real options are "fight enemy/fuck enemy", and maybe change what NPCs you encounter afterwards depending on whether you get them to stop or help them, with nothing particularly interesting to explore or interact with. There also isn't too much to explore yet either. Also, the corruption meter as it currently stands seems to do little more than change how you fuck things. There's also a lack of recurring NPCs beyond the few associated with the main quest, and they're not terribly interesting to interact with or talk to. Pix was amusing at least, but a one-trick pony like most of them. Finally, it's also lacking in some of the more interesting and varied one-off events or boss fights that CoC has, particularly some of the crazier ones that can end up in a game over scenario. This even extends to the fucking: while it certainly has far more interactivity, and an impressive amount of customisation available (to let you alter exactly who and what you might encounter), it's rather lacking in variety and any more complicated scenarios. Plus the "AI" sometimes freaks out a bit and does some very weird things.

Other that that, one thing it does have which CoC lacked entirely is the whole slave thing, where you can capture/buy slaves and set them up in your house. This has clearly had a lot of work done on it, but unless you're really into that sort of thing, it's really only useful for generating income or having easy access to fuckery, and didn't seem to really feature much in the game outside of the one quest that introduces the mechanics of it to you.

TL;DR:

Obviously it's a work in progress and a lot of that will be expanded on, but as far as RPGs go (which is what the OP was about, even jokingly), it's mostly just a custom barbie-doll dress-up wank-fodder generator for now. I guess you like that stuff to think so highly of it :)

(Ordinarily I wouldn't bother putting in so much effort over this sort of thing, but I feel obliged to since it's my own thread)
