Which CRPG has the best Choice and Consequences?

[Falloutboi]

I wanna know which types of CRPG's have choices that actually matter. Stuff like the oG Fallouts, Fallout NV, Arcanium, you know the go.

 

[Üstad]

The Age of Decadence.

 

[Kalin]

Geneforge series.

 

[V_K]

Roguelikes.

 

[Sigourn]

Fallout: New Vegas
The Witcher

Fallout's C&C is overrated IMO. I prefer C&C with non obvious consequences, and sadly with Fallout most of it boils down to ending slides.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Fallout: New Vegas
The Witcher

Fallout's C&C is overrated IMO. I prefer C&C with non obvious consequences, and sadly with Fallout most of it boils down to ending slides.

But Fallout 2 has a New Reno Killing Spree ending. How cool is that?

Kichikou Rance
Uncharted Waters 2 technically *is* an rpg and has C&C like CK2 so I gotta go with that
The Prophet (NWN module) is a game *about* C&C and gives you the ultimate C&C as well
Daibanchou probably has the 2nd most C&C out of the good Alicesoft games after KR
Beats Blade Haruka is a bad game but there are multiple endings you can work towards
Rance X also has multiple endings, most of them VERY BAD
C&C seems to be more suitable for adventure games such as Maniac Mansion and The Last Express. Adam Cadre adventures such as Varicella and I-0 are full of C&C.

Star Control 2 ofc has a ton of C&C although it's not technically a RPG.

 

[Cat Dude]

Chrono Cross

 

[GentlemanCthulhu]

Fallout New Vegas / Fallout 1 and 2
Pillar of Eternity II
Fable
Deus Ex

 

[Alpan]

Roguelikes.

The only correct answer -- but most people are not intellectually honest enough to admit this.

 

[AdolfSatan]

You mean good roguelikes.

Prelude to darkness
Fallout: Nevada and 1.5

 

[Humanity has risen!]

C&C is a total gimmick, in 98% of the times it just means doing the same missions in a different order for different people.

A cool thing they did in New Vegas was have a Kings member periodically approach you in Freeside and give you some free supplies if you had a positive rep with them. That level of reactivity is really simple to implement, but it goes a long way to make the player feel like his actions matter.

 

[lukaszek]

deterministic system > RNG

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Vampyr

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Vampyr

My favorite choice in this game was choosing to use the uninstaller

 

[Ereshkigal]

Oblivion provides excellent C&C, you have the choice to play it and the consequence of suffering a shite game

 

[Bibbimbop]

Bioware has a lot of good C&C. When I kick the puppy, I feel really evil. A true role-playing RPG game.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

KotoR and KotoR II.

 

[deama]

alpha protocol
virgin island
arx fatalis
pathfinder kingmaker

 

[ItsChon]

Underrail

 

[EverlastingLove]

KotoR

Kotor has hardly any meaningful c&c

Spoiler

1. hey it's Revan and he is a jedi master now! Kill him!
2. hey it's Revan and he is a sith lord again! Kill him!
lmao

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

I liked the C&C in Arcanum. Much of it was towards the end slides, but there was plenty of it in game affecting quest access or completion style.

 

[JDR13]

The Witcher games. but particularly The Witcher 2.

Baldur's Gate II

Alpha Protocol, even if it's a crap game imo.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Oh yes, The Witcher II definitely!

And for KotoR: I wasn't only talking about the main story, the side quests have some nice c&c as well!
