Does anyone really vibe with this Victorian steampunk/clockworkpunk garbage? Looks like some sort of elitist fad to me.

Fuck this late-stage-empire degeneracy, I don't wanna new and original and "exciting" anymore, not in the currentyear, I want my straight, honest, boring medieval RPGs back.

it's an anglo obsession we superior peoples shouldn't needlessly partake it

I've always hated steampunk, always seemed like a talentless hack's idea of "new and original".

It'd explain why talentless hacks are drawn to it.

Well, there's Avowed for you

And have you completed Kingdom Come: Deliverance already? Doesn't get more medieval than this one.

Is the Ayatollah a Muslim?

Also Awoved is ObSHEdian which means bluehair writing which gives me acid reflux.

"Remember Arcanum? That game you never actually played, because you never play anything older than three years and don't support pads? This all steampunk is soo cool! LOL! Let's meme together!"

I imagine the number of people who had played Wasteland in 1997 was rather small as well. I had not (though despite being a pc gamer, I had also never even heard of or played Fallout until 2006 when I looked up some sci fi/cyberpunk RPGs to play).

I enjoyed Arcanum not for the aesthetic but for the novel world building it brought to RPGs back then, as the setting was new and fresh.

This doesn't seem like a straight up magic/industry mashup like Arcanum, but more of a grift of BioShock infinites aesthetic themes. Arcanum and BioShock have very little in common between steam engines.

Why InExile is always ten years behind trends?

Yeah. It would be a lot better if they were 20 years behind trends.

20 years behind trends is often just a few years before those same trends come back around. Definitely a better place to be.

So for ten years we got RPG with mechanique great as female characters tits?

BTIV was the most painful for me. It wasn't that hard to get an oldschool dungeon crawler right. I was ok with the first departures from the series (which I hadn't played) were announced, like humans being most of the races, no hordes of enemies to fight, animated portraits etc. but they fucked it up royally. Between Obsidian and InXile, it's hard to say which disappointed me more, but at least Obsidian has a backlog of good games. InXile literally have nothing to show for.

B-b-but wasteland 3, codexbros?

 

[Roguey]

2023 and people still ignore the 2020 game of the year (after fully patched).

It's in decent company.

 

[Infinitron]

Maybe one day agris will subscribe to Game Pass for something, realize he now has access to Wasteland 3, and be tempted...

People have pitched me steampunk + arc deco stuff for 15 years. Never thought much of it.

What do you mean? I've been posting all along.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I've always hated steampunk, always seemed like a talentless hack's idea of "new and original".

Steampunk is a form of cultural mimicry. Its cogs and bolts are the headjacks and rainy nights of cyberpunk, but without any relevant foundational theme behind it. Where cyberpunk has something to say about the relationship between technology and social dynamics, steampunk can only say "this looks neat, right?".

If you hate steampunk, it's because you intuitively understand it's a skinwalker concept.

"it's good because it's popular"

It's a suprisingly common line of argument on the codex the last couple years
