Aren't RPG's for you?

Eh, see, now you're reaching. Just because a game has a first person camera doesn't mean shit.
VtMB, M&B, Gothic, who the fuck plays any of those in first person?
Haven't played Arena and Daggerfall, but even if Morrowind was isometric it still wouldn't be an RPG. You can raise every skill and attribute to max level.
The Elder Scrolls are action games posing as RPGs.

Crusaders of Might and Magic

That's actually an underrated RPG.

LoL what a fine conglomerate of retards....i am speechless.

I.

Faring liberation as a water magician on G3

Mount & Blade is far more immersive in FP. Aim my spear charge is far easier and VtMB firearms are far easier to be aimed in first person.

Hmmm,it is possible,but i doubt it. People generally like to play good people and on top of it,writers are shit at making fun evil path. We will see when it comes out.

I usually play Lawful Evil in Kingmaker, but Owlcat actually put effort in to represent all alignments decently. Which is rare.

You're a fucking weirdo dude.
All of those games are better in third person, that's like a fact.

If you read into the Forgotten Realms lore, most of the various societies would be sexual degenerates by our standards. For example:
- incest between family members is treated as something natural,
- brothels are treated as little more than specialised massage parlours,
- female drow use magic to grow futa cocks (no, this is not a joke),
- male priests of Eilistraee have to spend a month each year transformed into women - with emphasis put on the HAVE to,
- most towns practise "revelries" - in other words, massive festivals/orgies,

Serves 'em right for worshipping this joke.

The male priests of Eilistraee spending time as women used to be a thing, but now it's no longer required (as of the 1490s DR). It didn't stem out of ideology, or out of a deliberate choice either. Ed Greenwood explained this design. Eilistraee had troubles having male priests, because Ed Greenwood envisioned her as tied to motherhood and female fertility, and males found difficult fully cleave to her. In short, Eilistraee's nature acted as an obstacle to them becoming priests. Eilistraee actively tried to overcome this and allow male priests, and it started with the changedance. The changedance allows male priests to cleave more fully to the Dark Maiden, and achieve the same understanding female priestesses have of her nature. An interesting fact that further corroborates this, is that the changedance was needed for males to get to mid-high levels, but not to become priests. This means that males could become priests even without the changedance, but the difficulty arising from Eilistraee's nature kept them at low levels without the changedance.

We must also not forget that Eilistraee's priest(esse)s actually work for their people, so it's not like becoming a politican IRL (where--generally speaking--you only try to fill your pockets). It's also worth noting that Eilistraee's personal assistance comes in equal measure to males and females, including practical help, and including listening to their emotions and letting them unwind with her through the Evensong (or conforting them with her presence).

Nothing says she wouldn't still grant this trasnformation to drow seeking it, though--freedom of expression and all.

Not truth. Try aim with a bow on Gothic 3, and hit a moving target at 100m+ compensating the droppage and the travel speed, try to hit with the .44 magnum on "fan" mode on VtMB using third person... Or even use a cavalry on M&B and hit a spear charge in third person. Not mentioning, I fell more immersed in FP. But for some people, the same game with FP camera stop being a RPG...

EDIT: For the person who posted "citation needed" - the items you can buy from Deidre in Baldur's Gate II confirm that.

I wouldn't take a bonus merchant written by Bioware as proof of anything.

 

[Delterius]

Anything that's first person should not be regarded as an RPG.

Just because a game has a first person camera doesn't mean shit.

Disgusting! An RPG has multiple ways to get out of a tough situation! I demand there only be combat!

[rusty_shackleford]

don't think it has anything to do with it being a fetish, telling someone to kiss your feet is a form of humiliation

 

[Black]

Yes, forcing them to kneel before you works just fine as humiliation without the disgusting fetish part.

not really the same thing

This isn't the first foot kissing scene. There's another one that they showed off in one of the long gameplay videos. It's a recurring theme, definitely someone's fetish that they're trying to play off as a joke.

pretty sure that's the same one

 

[Bara]

I think they just retooled that scene as both had the slight of hand check to remove the toe ring. Unless I'm mistaken or there is just a lot of goblins with toe rings out there.

Is this a head larp?

Can I get an official source?

tbh greenwood has done weirder shit

Go On..

 

[Riddler]

They are status-quo now, get with the times you old faggot. Pure American imperialism.

I haven't noticed drunken orgies in the streets, casually going to the brothel every other day, and futa cocks everywhere. Am I the weird one?

Try to leave the basement once in a while, incel. We're sucking and fucking (futa cock) out here!

 

[Fedora Master]

Go On..

Greenwood uses the Forgotten Realms as his personal magical realm. WotC cleaned a lot of it up though.

According to Ed, prostitution is normal. As are orgies during holidays. Even among family members...

I mean, humiliation is also a fetish.

demons and devil appear in BG3 and their alignment (of course) matter.
also Souls coins will be in BG 3.
not only the start of BG3 is going to be in hell.
