    Underrail is mediocre (imo)

    Yes, the same issue applies to all games that follow the Fallout formula, long single character CRPGs with arbitrary home brew systems where you are locked into a very specific build from day one. You are stuck with some build you chose at the start out of ignorance for 40 to 70 hours and you...

    Underrail is mediocre (imo)

    Unfortunately, those decisions are largely arbitrary. The first playthrough of a long game like this is by far the most important. But on your first playthrough you aren't given enough information to make a good build and the game systems contain many newb traps and arbitrary and weird...

    Underrail is mediocre (imo)

    Underrail builds aren't necessarily that complicated but they are extremely arbitrary, for example you don't want to max out certain skills, you want to take them up to a certain point and then stop investing in them, since you can get the rest of the way from items or equipment. Maxing out...

    RPGWatch was going to shut down - taken over by Taluntain instead!

    That's way too optimistic. For a long time the people in charge have worked to ensure that people like her are the future of "humanity". There's no reason to believe that has changed.

    Underrail is mediocre (imo)

    Mega brofist for the first post, but you lose me when you go on to use Fallout as a positive example. To me it seems like Underrail further exposed flaws in the Fallout formula, or at least limitations in how monocled that formula can be. I did enjoy Fallout in the 1990s, but mostly for...

    Decline CDPR ruined the games industry by exposing what it truly is.

    Nothing personal. There's basically two eras of decline, the original era of decline where the hobby was dumbed down for the masses and the later era of decline with the weird SJW stuff taking over. During the original era of decline, games were not always required to be weird and leftist...

    Decline CDPR ruined the games industry by exposing what it truly is.

    The game industry was already ruined, CDPR just made it more obvious... and exposed the truth about the gaming preferences of Eastern Europeans on RPGCodex.net

    Because they think they can get you to pay real money for in game assets

    KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

    Turn based tactics isn't that niche and neither is 3rd edition D&D. Sure, turn based tactics is less popular than the mainstream genres, but it's not 51 people small. Battle Brothers peaked at 8k online and had long periods where it was hitting 2-3k peaks every day, with a home brew system, no...

    KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

    He's right though, buying at this price point is rewarding bad behavior, the only way Pierre is going to learn is through pain, the pain of having a 24 hour peak of 15 active players on steam.

    CRPGs with high companion count.

    Also 8 in Helherron I never played Wizard's Crown but I read that it inspired a bunch of these CRPGs to use 8 player characters, unfortunately this kind of game died out.

    What's the best dungeon crawler for someone new to the genre?

    Is Might and Magic 7 a dungeon crawler?

    KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

    I'm a past customer of KOTC1 and a potential purchaser of this game, but so far I haven't bought it because I disagree with almost every design decision he made between KOTC1 and KOTC2. It's not my intent to clog this thread and I largely stayed out of it after the price point was announced...

    KickStarter Knights of the Chalice 2 Thread - Augury of Chaos

    Tokens are lazy and insulting, because at the same cost in dollars and computing resources you could have had rectangular tiles showing the full body of the character or monster. My favorite kind of video game art is 2d low resolution tiles with either no animation or one attack frame only, as...

    Incline D&D games really should all come with module editors like NWN

    Sure, it would be nice, so would a lot of things. However, it seems like a lot of work to add a full fledged construction kit, if you start out making a normal single player game. It seems unrealistic to expect for-profit companies to do this for every game. A good construction kit has to be...
