    Designing the perfect RPG companion

    the most important is cool lines when they attack or you click on them, this is also the hardest because its hard to define criteria. but sometimes, the video game writers, feel they have to go further, to make them memorable. This is the backstory stage, this is the easiest but people still...

    Incline Josh Sawyer appreciation station

    all obisidian ever did was flawed gems, mostly flawed from bugs and shit gameplay that could had been play tested. All stuff that sounds suspiciously like what the head developer should be handling, if he does anything at all. some middle manager that only knows how to talk, look the other way...

    What drove BG3's success, game mechanics or emotional engagement?

    Its an hyper AAA+ RPG with voice acting, graphics, setting. Same as skyrim and witcher. They call it atmosphere, immersion. When you walk into tarant in arcanum and hear the violins, when you sit there and think about what can change the nature of man, or whatever non popamole example you want...

    Planescape: Torment is 25 years old this year. What are you hoping for?

    PST is a way to determine a person's sense of self here. Plenty of would be cultist make it apart of them so they can belong to some autistic community, by group thinking awe about it. Even more ridiculous a similar game comes out and they say 'visual novel' and 'no combat.' This place is...

    So I started playing this game called deadfire

    It was touch and go for a bit as I was doing the rat dungeons, learning the controls, reading the level up abilities, then it hit me; that the game, mechanically speaking, wasn't difficult nor fun. It's put me in a bit of a pickle because the plot is holding back the game as well, so I know its...

    PC Gamer: "The cinematic BioWare-style RPG is dead"

    what's the thesis here? fallout new kotor? I imagine because the man made one good game

    Esoteric Ebb - Disco-like using 5e ruleset where you are cleric uncovering political conspiracy with goblin sidekick

    Too derivative of DE. There could be an audience where your copying the VN style of DE, switching it to DND and adding more gameplay like spells, stealth, encounters, but you're copying the plot, writing style, amnesia, talking to yourself, dialogue, opening, even the fucking thought catalogue...

    Owlcat is still making a cinematic sci-fi third person action rpg

    RPGcodex has the hate of a scorned women from backing kickstarter trash during the 'great incline' while owlcat was making its bones. Sadly there has been no anti-thesis essay to rally behind like with POE so the opposition is forced to mutter about the trannies and the russians until they find...

    Fallout Is Fallout: New Vegas a worthy Fallout game?

    Gameplay wise its just skyrim with guns and skillchecks, but I wouldn't say its totally unrelated like FO3 or BG3 because it retains a post-post apocalyptic setting that progresses the grand plot. The latest wastelands and ATOM didn't feel like fallout either with a turn-based post apocalyptical...

    why the hate on BG3

    Higher companion limits is always superior because you have the option to use less NPCs for more experience, and get the added challenge of an encounter balanced around a higher party size. A low limit is limiting your options

    Do you consider Disco Elysium an RPG?

    no one said anything when vargus: the riven realms got top ten rpgs for 2022 as an adventure game, but people always chase the low hanging fruit like shitting on DE or oblivion. Planescape is sold as a text game here...

    Incline What can be done about excessive loot?

    do you really need itemization for a 'proper' RPG? All it does is make items into gameplay - making them, stealing them, comparing stats, collecting consumables, selling them. You could remove all items from F:NV except for armor, weapons, and stimpacks, and the game would still be there. The...
