    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    One of the streams had a pop-up from AIM offering such gold membership, 20k $ up front. Sadly the guy didn't take that offer.

    Blood Bowl 3

    They were already pretty much the norm in long running leagues as anyone who wanted to use a big guy for an extended period of time would sack the one who didn't roll his doubles and rotate until the necessary results. Expensive, yes, but the end result was worth it, so this change trims some of...

    Blood Bowl 3

    We're definitely getting those as their models have been shown in the screenshots already. I really hope though that OWA and Chaos Renegades aren't included in those 12 though, they don't bring much to the table.

    Disco Elysium spoilery thread

    TwinkieGorilla mentioning PnP games often got me thinking about a thing in DE that I found odd. Namely, that the game really likes to wank its setting but barely uses it. It reminded me of DMs and trashy fantasy authors that meticulously craft every little detail in their imaginary worlds and...

    Disco Elysium spoilery thread

    If you think you're being smart, you're not, the devs have outright stated that before: https://zaumstudio.com/2016/12/20/feld-playback-experiment/

    Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

    This game is amazingly well-written, yet the disappointment keeps swelling in me. I bought into the advertising and the shill brigade promises hook, line and sinker, while the actual game doesn't really resemble them. It's small, real small, a focused thing, not even approaching the 60 hours...

    Waiting for Pathfinder and Grimshade - article about history of Russian RPGs

    And here's why - all those games named have only three dev studios behind them (technically four since the bulk of the H&S was done by a different studio but they were using Silent Storm's engine and Nival was helping them out). SS and Watch games were Nival through and through, with latter...

    Jagged Alliance Jagged Alliance: Rage!

    Thankfully that means the rest of the JA2 roster will be saved from awful redesigns. What a shitshow. :dead:

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Because that's what it's used for in dialogues and scripted interactions. You either do stuff associate with physical strength or physically intimidate somebody.

    Divinity Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

    You actually can bypass him peacefully if you have Fane in your party and a certain item. But there is? Just CTRL+click or cast some spells on top of the friendly. What actually sucks in that situation is that people around her start attacking the other party members too for no reason. They...

    Eternity Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Pre-Release Thread [BETA RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Looks like it's not exactly a new ability but a modification of an existing one, Sworn Enemy. PoE1 did the same stuff with Flames of Devotion, only it didn't rename the ability.

    KickStarter Regalia: Of Men And Monarchs, tactical JRPG for PC from... Polan?

    I don't agree about companion bonds. You don't necessarily need to max them all out, a great deal of characters work well with no or only half of the bond (Diego, Esther, Theo, Signy and Griffith). Inciidentally, those same characters don't offer much in terms of perks everyone can use, except...

    KickStarter Regalia: Of Men And Monarchs, tactical JRPG for PC from... Polan?

    tl,dr: the guy is trash at this game, couldn't deal, changed it to easy mode

    Codex Review RPG Codex Retrospective Review: Pillars of Eternity Revisited

    Very funny joke. 12 level builds have no trouble getting two PRCs at least, you can easily have those 3-4 by 20. Hell, the absolute earliest you can take one is at level 6, that's plenty. Qualifying isn't as much of a hassle as you make it out to be,since in practice you nearly always either aim...
