    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    I am still not convinced of my final verdict for this game, but many scenes and dialogues leave me with impression that absolutely tremendous amount of work and time was put into rewriting them over and over and refining them to maxmium. Not all, but probably majority of them.

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 RELEASE THREAD

    Ugh, I took the bait and bought the game, only to discover that it is indeed Larian game with DnD influences. There's something about technical side of their games that repulses me. Partially I think it's that many quality of life solutions are sacrificed at the altar of co-op, partially it's...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    It could work if gods were in any way relevant in acts 1/2. Excluding last moments of WM2, we only see a bunch of cultists of Skaen/Woedica running around. If instead of grand revelation, "the gods are artificial" was a line thrown during a random lore dump, it would probably have the same...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    Having finished (replay) the game yesterday, I think the story is decent up to the sudden revelation about the gods; just a low level adventure about chasing a villian using strange ancient machines. There's simply too much dumped on the player in the last act - both in terms of worldbuilding...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity + The White March Expansion Thread

    IMHO they just need to scale down, forget about the gods stuff, go back to the roots and deliver some classic european fantasy experience. On paper there's nothing wrong with it, but I feel that pirate/tropical setting worked to the detriment of the PoE2. It's a bit too "foreign", and when...

    Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    So, is it a Larian game with DnD influences, or a DnD game with Larian influences? I intend to wait for a sale anyway, but if it's just reskinned Divinity, then maybe it's worth a skip.

    Game News Steam Next Fest, June 2023: Demos of upcoming RPGs available from June 19th to 26th

    More likely is that the novel was used by devs to mooch that sweet government monies ("promotion of Poland"). Because aside from a few names and setting, the game looks like cookie cutter waifu gatcha crap, the names of characters do not fit the region at all. EDIT: Wait, this game is made by...

    Path of Exile is a MAJESTIC incline

    One glance, and considering you're level 60 and in act 6: your equipment is an absolute grabage. Campaign might not require much in terms of items, but you should at least eliminate those white pieces you wear, either by enchanting them or grabbing some rare stuff from the floor. I don't think...

    Przeglądam fora RPGowe, ale o dziwo dyskusje w nich są jeszcze bardziej negatywne niż w GD, a te kilka wątków które mnie interesuje (np. Pathfinder) jest zdominowane przez maniaków buildów i kompletnie obskurnych mechanik. Jako każualowa graczka która nie wychyla nosa poza normalne poziomy...

    Total War: PHARAOH

    Raghar, as always your ability to mold percieved reality into black/white view of the world astonishes me. Okay, here's the thought experiment: how do you differentiate between southern Egyptian and a Nubian? There are no significant geographical barriers in the region, no modern borders...

    Total War: PHARAOH

    And? My point isn't that "all Egyptians are dark-skinned", but that there's a very significant group native to Egypt which does have a noticeably darker skin that usual mediterranean stock. Egypt isn't just Alexandria and Cairo; on the south it borders Sudan, a region with some of the "most...

    Sentinel? Looking back, its was a nice league, at least compared to what followed.

    Total War: PHARAOH

    Christ, Codex and its obsession with skin colour. Take a look at, I don't know, Egyptian national football team Half of the guys have similar complexion to the Pharaoh in the promo material. But no, it must be global conspiracy to replace pure white egyptians with nefarious negro. Meh. As...

    Grand Strategy Victoria 3

    There are several problems with your proposal. One, it would mean that game technical side remains outdated. There's only no much that can be done to prop up old engine, and V2/CK2 ran on functionally other engine at this point than their sequels. Two, every DLC beyond initial projects has a...
