  1. ToEE is fucking awesome bros

    Also, I find IWD2 superior to ToEE in every way imaginable, be it story, dialogues, quests, encounter design, you name it. Even the idea of hindering player character progression for the sake of balance is implemented better here, as the player is not denied the feeling of advancement while...

  2. ToEE is fucking awesome bros

    You misunderstood me. I didn't find the game challenging, but that's only half of my beef with it. The other half is due to the fact that I was denied further character progression and higher spell levels, which open more tactical options that, in turn, lead to more diverse and fun gameplay...

  3. BioWare: RPGs Are Becoming "Less Relevant"

    You should try this in Torment or Gothics. I'm sure that to make this statement you carefully calculated whether the increase of enemy Attack and Defense by several % is equivalent to the acquisition of new abilities. In all seriousness, new levels give access to new active abilities that, in...

  4. ToEE is fucking awesome bros

    Why should I continue playing a game which has shit story, dialogues that are as dull as a pile of rocks and brings absolutely no challenge to the table? The level cap itself is not a problem, Arcanum had a level cap of 50 and I enjoyed that game from start to finish (and then some more)...

  5. BioWare: RPGs Are Becoming "Less Relevant"

    The ability to customize facial features expands the visual aspect of character customization, which, in turn, is an important RPG feature. But I shouldn't be replying to a person who puts words in my mouth just to score some KKK.

  6. BioWare: RPGs Are Becoming "Less Relevant"

    Let's look at some of the RPG elements present in DA2: Character generation with only your background being pre-defined Character progression through stats and abilities Character customization through gear, facial features Character skill based combat efficiency (no, you won't beat the...

  7. BioWare: RPGs Are Becoming "Less Relevant"

    I think the title should read: "Bioware RPGs are becoming less relevant".

  8. ToEE is fucking awesome bros

    I know I'm going to be crucified for this, but I found ToEE a boring and absurdly easy (which, again, adds to the boring factor) pile of shit. I had zero problems blasting through hordes of shitty mobs with my sorcerer + mage party. Even the most difficult encounters (like the Hill giant and his...

  9. Risen 2 gameplay presentation

    I hope you're not talking about combat here, as combat was absolute garbage in AC2 and Brotherhood (never played the original) games. Shit, it's like playing one fuckhuge reaction based QTE when you have to press the counterkill button for an instawin. There's no need for positioning...

  10. Healing spells/items are lazy game design for RPGs.

    Just make every ARPG out there use the health/healing system from Robinson's Requiem. On a more serious note, just make healing a non-instantaneous, over time effect. Also, the process of chugging potions should also take some time and leave the character vulnerable. You could go even further...

  11. NWN Neverwinter Nights (NWN & NWN2) Modules Thread

    You guys should try "Sex and the Single Adventuress". It's so bad that it's actually good.

  12. DA2 talent descriptions

    Critical hits on PC were very rare in DA:O and Awakening, where the enemies had a significantly higher level. If DA2 is like that, then you might want to skip this talent altogether and spend the point on something actually useful.

  13. DA2 Demo

    Am I the only one who gets jrpg vibes fom these videos?

  14. Autotargeting confirmed in Skyrim

    I don't know about Brotherhood, but combat in AC2 was a one huge reaction-based minigame. There was absolutely no skill involved, no positioning or maneuvering needed as long as you could press the "instakill" button in time. I really hope that Skyrim will not follow AC2 example. Wat? What if I...

  15. Icewind Dale III incoming?

    Considering that he's a former Sith agent and a Jedi murderer (not an assassin as he claimed himself in the end, but a real cold blooded butcher), that's not so strange. Although now I can understand why some people may not like him.
