    What RPG(s) do you really like but are too ashamed to admit on the Codex?

    I for one really like this obscure gem which came back in 1996 I believe.
  3. Young_Hollow

    Find me an RPG that does these things......

    -Is isometric -Has good character creation and skill system like SPECIAL (ie multiple skills and you don't level into the entire skill tree in one character / playthrough) -Has real time combat -You can play as a single character (no problem if its party based, but single character should be...

    Solo dev interested in your your opinion about a turn-based isometric RPG inspired by Fallout 1/2

    Hi guys, Long story short: I'm a solo dev who's developed a heavily Fallout-inspired branching narrative isometric CRPG with turn-based combat over 15 years ago. A lot of the choices back then were based on my personal preferences (never liked fantasy and cannot stand real-time combat) and...

  5. Lesser known JRPGs, sci-fi settings, odd themes, experimental subjects, fan-translations, etc...

    I wasn't actually sure whether this topic was better off in the general RPG forum or the JRPG forum. It's rare these days to actually feel like you are exploring a brand new world, experimenting without any guide, not knowing where to go, not knowing what a spell/command even does. Every FF...

    Arcanum On tech manual effect and ingame conflict between magick/tech

    I debuted on the patched Arcanum campaign with a human, about 10 hours IG and currently exploring tarant. So far, I've been alloting points mostly on throwing/lockpicking/haggle and electric/explosive disciplines, and my goal is to end up maxing mechanical in order to build me an army of...

  8. Anybody Interested in a Fantasy-WWI CRPG? (Think Arcanum meets XCOM)

    Hi everyone, like many of you here I've noticed a small renaissance of the CRPG genre. It seems like almost every other month we get either a new game or expansion with which to test our mettle with. Believe me I'm not complaining, I've had an incredible time playing pretty much every one of...

    Ultima Just finished Ultima Trilogy IV-V-VI

    The opening of Avatar's epic journey doesn't really start after game's intro, but actually by reading the lorebook; where you found out that britannia's antagonist isn't a major evil that you have to wipe out or seal away as you might anticipate.Is more insidious and intangible: Lord British...

  10. Difference between JRPGs and CRPGs towns... Tolkien/Beowulf

    JRPG towns don't seem to have a lot of interactivity, but are sometimes quite high in purely artistic expression. It might have the feel of being a tourist haven, or a city of high culture, or recently recovering from a war, or have a set-piece calmness to it where people enjoy the finer things...

  12. Why the hell aren't there more "space opera" / futuristic CRPGs?

    From a world building point of view, science fiction can do anything fantasy can, perhaps even more given it's scope. The ratio of fantasy to space opera RPGs must be something like 100 to 1, if not even worse. Off the top of my head, I can think of only 6 genuine space opera CRPGs, all in two...

    Dark Sun Shattered Lands. Party setup

    So, I'm going to start Dark Sun SL and after reading the manual I'll go with a party set like this: Jaguar- (Mul Thief/fighter) psi meta This Mul's portrait looks like a tanned Nosferatu. But his stat bonuses are neat for a dexterous melee fighter. The another option was to go full gladi on...

    Exiled Kingdoms on PC

    So. New here. Don't know squat. But, I've lurked for a while and you guys seem to give a damn about CRPGs. You guys introduced me to Arcanum, so it seems natural to ask for opinons on the new steam release Exiled Kingdoms. A quick search showed it originated on Mobile, and it seems the creator...

    Incline Write short "Memorable things you should do in RPG X"

    So, I was meditating on how modern gamers (and journos) often won't understand what makes older & more obscure games special... I.e., Waypoint wrote an article on how some people prefer Morrowind over Skyrim, but since the writer clearly isn't into MW himself, he failed to convey just WHY...

    Point allotment or Stat growth

    In most CRPGs, for every lvl up, your PC receives a fixed amount of stats points to allow you build him/her as you please, although most times it revolves around min maxing the shit out of it for the optimal path. This is simple to grasp and effective to apply, also most times It is explained...

    The Greater General Codex Theory of 'What is an RPG?'

    The Greater General Codex Theory of 'What is an RPG?' Edit: Nov 1st, 2016. The conclusion of this thread seems to be that there is no such thing as an RPG, only a collection of RPG elements. This definition is still useful, because those elements can be isolated and catalogued within a...
