A pleasant side-effect of completing cRPGs

[PorkyThePaladin]

A bit of a pointless thread I guess, but I just wanted to say that one of the hidden joys of completing quality cRPGs (many of them from years long gone by), is that now, I can often recognize the profile pictures of other Codex members. Where before it was "the bloom blonde picture" or "the pixelated cat-person image" or "some weirdo in fancy sunglasses", now it's like "Ahhhh, Kaelyn the Dove, sigh...", or "Oooh, the Iskai people of Albion" or "Ohhhh, Beckett the Vampire historian", and a flood of warm fuzzy memories starts pouring in. So as a corollary, all of you still using the little red codex man default image, pick one from some RPG you love, the more obscure, the better, to give the rest of us yet another (minor) reason to play it.

Anyone know which game mine is from? I just thought it looked suitably thrusting, but everyone could be secretly mocking me for my shit taste as far as I know.

Some random guy in the wasteland 2 build advice thread praised me for my shadowrun troll and I was like wtf

On the other hand, one of the possible annoyances is that you can't help but associate certain characters with the Codex members that use their portraits.

Good to know. Thanks, Bubbles.

I'm pretty sure I used to hex edit either the money or the humanity meter, possibly both, but I can't quite recall if I had a truly legitimate reason for it.

So where's Excidium II's creepy pedophile sadist monk from?

 

[Leitz]

Ultima Underworld 2 I guess.

 

[Delterius]

On the other hand you can just pick a portrait from a JRPG and trigger half the forums. Or God forbid Undertale.

Charles likes to hang around the kitchens in Castle Britannia in UU2, hoping there's some tasty little morsels for him to get his p. clammy hands on.

But where's mine from?

But where's mine from?

Haven't played that game yet, but I plan to just because the descriptions make it sound interesting. That said, Google search makes this thing quite boring. BTW, searching that image got me tons of random pics of cats and one text result, which was a wiki of the game you took it from.

 

[Sizzle]

But where's mine from?

Dead State?

That Phantasy Star was also one of the first tb rpgs I ever played I thought the concept of a tb game was quite interesting, and I was like 10. I can't figure out why people hate the idea of turn based games so much.

Actually I asked because I can't remember, and it's a game that I haven't played.

Sounds likely.

Yes it's from Dead State. I avoided it because I took the question as a challenge, but as I said google makes these sort of things quite dull. You don't really have to look for info yourself. My researcher spirit feels sad.

And now I find that it's a female cat.

[Perkel]

and then people talk about that mask being from Dark Souls 2

...

 

[Excidium II]

For me it's the opposite. When I see the avatar in-game the character is now forever associated with that particular user.

Yes. Play the game my avatar is from.

PLAY IT!

I'm playing Fallout 2 these days. I've lost count how many times I've slaughtered Melcar by this point...and I just reached Vault City.
