    I wouldn't say Underrail is a certain #1 place 2016, it's gonna have strong competition from Torment in my view. And perhaps even other RPGs coming out. We'll see though.

    (Unless of course Underrail comes out in december, which would be heavan)

    Considering the refined tastes of the codex, I'd say the action RPG's should get their own subcategory (even if only to avoid too much butthurt about the results).

    Honestly, I'd separate that last mixed category even further purely to actually get real votes on it because you know very well no one will give a damn about some overdue console JRPG ports with those enhanced editions around. And I love multiple categories.

    You're just scared that glorious LIGHTNING RETURNS will win over Larian & InXile's console RPGs. :obviously:

    Fallout 4 is still there. Is this forum RPGWatch, Neofag or Gamefaqs and I didn't know?

    When it comes to tacticool stuff I would also count Conquest of Elysium 4.
    Also, how about ADOM for remaster, since it came to Steam not so long ago.

    No need for this. PoE already had most reviews so it is clearly the winner :D
    And put Fo4 under Best Console Port.

    1. ----------
    I don't see reason why we should vote for best port/translation or whatever. It should go into main RPG category and fight square with everyone else. If it is something good then it should stand on it's own and not receive retard award for trying. Dragon's Dogma next year will be strong contender for RPG codex Goty top10 for example and degrading it to retard award list would be weird. Though it naturally comes with a problem. If FFVI will be released on PC should it compete for codex goty ?
    Also i disagree with EE version being voted for. They are still same games even if they were improved a bit.

    2. ---------
    Tacticool idea is good. Though i would change it to "best combat award" So this category would be all about best combat systems not just best tactical games. Naturally TB games and SRPGs would have more chance but i don't think games like Dark Souls should be left out.

    This way we will have both amazing RPGs list we all want to play and best combat games we usually play most of the time when we don't play anything new.

    3. --------
    ALSO thing we should wonder about. Expansion for TW3 Hearths of Stone. I didn't play it yet (i am waiting for Blood and wine) but i think many people here played it and it was released this year. In our RPGs list we often have expansion packs being so i think Hearths of Stone should go into RPG list. Also it is something like 20+ hour expansion so it could go as even standalone game with any other RPG if it would be released as standalone. Also i heard many good things about it so leaving it out would be weird. It wouldn't be weird if this would be higher than TW3 considering it is more focused and tight and doesn't suffer from main plot being mediacore.

    4. ------- we should have awards imo in february or march. I mean for example Dragon Quest Heroes was released just few days ago.

    You shouldn't compare enhanced editions of old RPGs with new RPGs released. Makes no sense. NEWLY released RPGs is what is voted for best 2015.

    Best effort for improving old RPGs should totally be a category. So it's fine.

    Agree on not allowing Director's Cuts or Enhanced Editions or whatnot to be on the list.

    For me, it would have to be PoE, since that's the only one I've actually played. :| I'm saving my mighty AoD, SitS, and DOS:EE playthroughs for when I have time, i.e. just after I retire.

    Perhaps we should also have a poll for least effective RPG player.

    1 - EE have many changes, more than enough to be judged again. But it's unfair to compare them to new releases, so let's give them a separete category. Same thing for ports and re-releases. FF VI on PC should be judged.

    2 - Placing Dark Souls against Telepath Tactics and Hard West in a Combat Award makes no fucking sense.

    3 - Mask of the Betrayer is on the Top 70 list because it's outstanding, miles ahead of NWN2's OC and mosty games out there. And it can be player without ever touching NWN2's OC. Other games, like F:NV, Morrowind and Baldur's Gate all have their expansions included with the main experience. The same applies here to the Witcher 3.

    4 - March is too late. By this logic you could say that we shouuld wait for the Steam sales so that everyone can buy them. Two months after release is more than enough time - especially since new games like Underrail will start to apear & be played.

    What about the voting system?

    I propose this system:

    1st - 10 points
    2nd - 5 points
    3rd - 3 points
    4th - 2 points
    5th - 1 point

    Codexers who played only 3 RPGs can combine their 3rd, 4th and 5th votes to give their 3rd game 5 points (yes, you lose a point).

    Codexers who only played 1 or 2 RPGs still only give their 1st and 2nd 10 and 5 points, respectively.

    1&3 then conflict with each other. DoSEE then should be counted as vanilla game and it already won our GOTY year ago and by your words we won't be decoupling DoS and DoSEE in our next top 70 rpgs ...
    My main problem is that some of those games are in separate category because they are ports of console games. IF FFVI should be judged like everyone else in case of PC release then i don't see reason why game like FINAL FANTASY TYPE-0 HD should go into that category. If it is something first on PC then it should go toward GOTY list. good port etc list can still have them at the same time.

    2. That was simply case in point, not that DS will win it. Either way tacticool games are still fine addition.

    4. I said feb-march. Currently we have RPG season in full swing and backlog of RPGs lies hard on people here. Dragon Quest Heroes seems like good game from looks and got rave reviews(from press) and i don't think many people will finish it by end of next month.

    Imo 1 to 10 scale for every game people played and shadowban on 1 and 10 scores.
    This would create 2-9 scale without hype-hate brigades fucking scores with their 1 and 10s which can be later converted to 1-8 score on final paper and with float you can as well make it 1-5 scale like earlier.
    It would be especially effective against new fags and cucks who would go here only to vote (since they would not follow discussion)

    Normally i would propose like earlier used 1-5 sytem but it is as vanurable as 1-10 system to hate-hype brigades.

    So example:

    25 votes on game XXXX - 5 1s 6 10s and 14 between 2-9. This would cut out 11 retards and leave proper critics crowd with 2-9 scale which later can be converted to 1-5 scale.
