    DUNE and/or THE BLACK COMPANY would be nice

    Indie Friendly Development Tools

    Not sure if this was mentioned, but another great free tool for sound design is Reaper: https://www.reaper.fm/ It's also very moddable if you can into python

    Time for another fallout 3 discussion

    Well, actually they are a genetic engineering project by US military, and iirc their final form as seen in the fallout games is a result of tampering by the Master. Which is extra funny in how the hell they ended up on the other side of the continent (spoilers: bethesda doesn't care about...

    Gather your questions for an Outer Worlds leads interview

    Question one. Show us the character creation sheet so we can scrutinize it and make foregone conclusions about gameplay. Question two. Is this game secretly making the House ending of NV canon via a cleverly hidden easter egg? Blink once for yes, twice for double yes.

    Are older CRPGs are designed better than modern ones?

    Purely imho, but I always felt like in FO1 these so-called dump stats were there to facilitate roleplaying more than existing to have a tangiable impact on gameplay mechanics, a bit like the biography box in WL2. Think of this — if you didn't actually know that CH didn't directly affect your...

    InXile and budget problems

    Truth is, we all just need to overcome the pavlovian response upon seeing names from FO1-2 credits in game trailers, and go back to judging games based on merit of the actual gameplay. Full disclosure, I desperately tried to enjoy WL2 and TTON and failed :(

    Are older CRPGs are designed better than modern ones?

    I'd argue the opposite—the classics are mostly those that actually do have something powerful to say about the human condition, while most newer offerings are confused messes because they try to appeal to everyone and end up saying "well, bad things are bad". Like remember in FO1 when the POS...

    Are older CRPGs are designed better than modern ones?

    Come on, the reason you don't see much fighting between the factions outside of certain areas is because there is a front line. You are either on the NCR side of the Colorado, or on the Legion side, or in small pockets where the frontline had shifted at any time. Contrary to what idiots who...

    Are older CRPGs are designed better than modern ones?

    imho classics are classics because game designers and story writers weren't afraid to populate the game world with stuff that would fly over players' heads, both in how some players would miss something in the world, and encounter it and not get it. this is the single most important thing for a...

    Bethesda is now selling Todd Howard figures

    rpg codex should make those. 10 out of 10, would buy again

    Undertale withdrawal

    For buying the game? As opposed to stealing it? Or as opposed to remaining in the dark entirely? Your supervillain act needs work, sir

    Rolling Vs Point-Buying

    I never roll, always distribute, unless it is a specific condition. I feel like rolling a char is an extra challenge, because that way there is never enough time to properly prepare for the RP. And, to add to that, people who constantly reroll are missing the point of the whole idea

    Undertale withdrawal

    I actually bought Lisa and tried it yesterday, but I cannot seem to get into it - there is a moment (i'm assuming this is the very beginning) where you get to the first big fork in the road, and every death from there comes after the latest save crow, so every action you take after a death...

    Undertale withdrawal

    Well, russian is my first language, so naturally I played the original and don't really have the localization problem. But, offtopic, is there much of a point to getting the rerelease if you played through the original more than five times? I backed the game on kickstarter, but I don't really...

    Undertale withdrawal

    Lol booted the original right after planescape, tried a haruspic run, quit within an hour and a half because I know the dialogue by heart by this point. But what a horrible suggestion, though - you want me to get suicidal too? :)
