    Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    When people say RPG there is zero chance you know what they mean and you end up with whatever the fuck General RPG Discussion on the Codex is.

    Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

    It's obviously a video recording problem. Anyway

    Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

    He charged into 50 expedition mobs with zero active flasks, pretty clear reason why he died.

    Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    You can have RPG combat system that doesn't have to hit chance, but you must have other simulated combat mechanics than just damage and pretty much been turn based is a must. The moment you have full control over the actions of your character in combat that is not simulated based on stats is the...

    Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    What are you talking about? Your argument sound disingenuous, what's next, if you can use a computer to start the game then that clashes with your 3 Int character? It's pretty simple, if the main encounter resolution in a game is represented by an abstract stat i.e. simulated by a stat i.e. you...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Eh, not really. The main reason is the best starting Deflection and Accuracy as well. With Disciplined Barrage(+20 accuracy buff ever battle) it gives your other active skills (Knock down, the pull one) insane consistency even on PotD. You can get more engagements from items so Defender is not...

    Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    Manager type games are very close to RPGs , but they have their own genre. Most importantly they miss a crucial part of RPGs that is the adventure element.

    Incline Okay let's be real here... Which games can never be RPGs?

    Action and Roleplaying are at the opposite side of a scale when classifying game genres. A game typically can not be Action RPG. The term ARPG is just historically imposed for Diablo-like games to differentiate them from the typical RPGs at the time for marketing purposes.They are still RPGs...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Not true from my experience. You can defiantly hold actual front line with 3 melee characters that have extra engagement talent(or items). Only very few enemies would change target if they are engaged already, basically they need to have a blink like ability or some spells/abilities that are...

    The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

    This is irony, right? Muted colours all over the place right next to bright red and yellow makes this game ugly, fake and hard to look at. Look at this shit:

    Incline RPG Codex's Best RPGs - 2024 - VOTE ONLY THREAD

    Colony ship ended been too safe and formulaic in design. Vince actually believed the retards complaining about AoD teleporting around and been too cyoa-like.

    The Denuvo DRM Thread

    Falling for the most basic jew tactic of diverting the attention to the wrong cause of the problem. :hmmm: Pirating doesn't remove Denuvo, you are dumb.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Resolve is the most used stat in dialog, so any character that wants to tank would benefit the most.

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Maybe. I find multiclassing in Pillars 2 to be terrible. It's very under-baked and lacks good design and synergies. The first one at least had defined direction in its class roles and the spells were fun to experiment with. On top the turn based combat feels tacked on and don't play very well...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Pillars is terrible for larping and decent for combatfags. Barbarians I find pretty weak for the standard expected fantasy of big reckless damage. The Barbarians in Pathfinder are more fitting for that as you can oneshot pretty much all enemies but bosses, while in Pillars they are a worse...
