Outcast - A New Beginning (not an RPG, but 'dex will probably include it in 2014 goty)
Ghost of Tsushima - may 16
Geneforge 2 - Infestation - march 27, but maybe not...

 

[Konjad]

Completed Kingdom Come: Deliverance. What a great game, and finally patched enough so I could finish it. Can't wait for the second game!


By the way, I tried Ghost of Tsushima and it's a boring turd, also not an RPG. But the new Outcast was even worse.

 

[Konjad]

dog damn it, i finished KCD now to be ready for release of KCD2 and they just moved the release date again

But thanks to the postponing of the release date you'll be able to focus on the actual 2024 releases: Veilguard and Bloodlines 2.

 

[Konjad]

Games to await:

Stalker 2: PC, Xbox, 20 November 2024
Gothic Remake: PC, Xbox, PS5, 2025?
Greedfall 2: PC, September 24 2024

[Konjad]

Played through Greedfall 2 alpha and here's my opinion of it.

I'm thinking of replaying many classic RPGs this winter as I haven't played them in many years (most more than 10 years). Here's the list (mostly for myself), it's in priority to-play based how recently have I played these games and how much I want to replay them in the first place.

It will probably go more-or less:

1. BG + BG2 (original Polish editions for maximum nostalgia)
2. Arcanum
3. VtM Bloodlines
4. Gothic + Gothic 2
5. Prelude to Darkness (2.12, report found bugs)
6. Fallout + Fallout 2 + New Vegas + Tactics
7. Planescape Torment (recently replayed in 2021 so unsure if to skip)
8. Deus Ex (last played in 2018, maybe skip?)
9. Wiedźmin
10. TES III Morrowind & add-ons

But I should also play Drova and Passageway of the Ancients first... or maybe not and wait for patches?

 

[BosanskiSeljak]

Wait for patches for Passageway of the Ancients.

Drova is good and ready to play - really polished game

This post serves as my personal RPG blog, where I will list all the computer RPGs I have finished at least once and the ones that I want to play yet. I do not mention games that I have played and abandoned, they are not worth to be remembered.

You may use this thread to both comment and write your own RPG blog, I encourage especially the latter.

What can you tell me about "Arcania"?

As for the original, I couldn't bear it, here's what I wrote as a "Steam review" in 2017:

Fetch quest upon fetch quest.

-I need to speak with lord of the castle!
- Orks imprisoned him, our great hero! Our army can't stand against them! Go, you deal with them!
Great hero: Of course! I will go and free him or I will never come back!
*goes to orks*
Guard at the gate: I can't let you speak with my leader! Until you get me booze from a shaman, go get it!
Shaman: I can't give you booze until you find some ork!
Some ork: I can't go back until you return my amulet from another ork!
Another ork: I will not give you amulet! *fights* Ok, I'll give you amulet!
The great hero now needs to go back through the chain of NPCs, but actually duck that, I don't give a potato anymore. Literally, every quest is like this.

In addition, this game is not open world at all. Small island areas open up along with the quest line. Moreover the game is full of bugs and if you try to explore and go off the path to ie. a forest, then the character will start sliding over environment and then randomly die. If you jump into shallow water you instantly die, and so on.

They both sounds more than awful. And I'm one who liked Gothic 3 (with community patch and everything else, yes)...

You don't just skip Deus Ex.

 

[Konjad]

Finished Drova. Good game, but late parts were rather boring. Nonetheless, most of the game was quite enjoyable, it has the atmosphere akin to the first Risen.

Probable party for my BG replay:

thief: safana -> skie
warriors: shaar-teel, kagain
mage: edwin
cleric: viconia

 

[Serus]

dog damn it, i finished KCD now to be ready for release of KCD2 and they just moved the release date again

Add another year to patch it properly, most likely.

I really hoped this update would tackle your experience with Dragon Age: Veilguard review copy.

That's a line I'm not wishing to cross.

 

[Konjad]

I'm playing the Polish version of Baldur's Gate provided by GOG (classic, not EE), and Polish version lacks Evermory (The Ring of Wizardry) near Friendly Arm's Inn. English version had it, and so did Polish CD versions...

WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY

At least it's better than Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods.

C'mon, you have already played Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods, it can't be worse right?

Take a beer with you just in case.

Finished Drova, which will probably be my RPGotY 2024 due to lack of any worthwhile competition.

I have also replayed BG series, Bloodlines and just now finished replay of Arcanum (and once again reminded myself why it's the best RPG ever released. It's also the first time I joined dark elves.)

I'm not sure what now though. Gothics as per above list, or perhaps something else? Gothics are great but I remember them quite well and already replayed every faction, hence I'm not certain. My last replay of Gothics was in 2020, so similarly to PST and DE it might be a skip.

it's surely more linear (the story is almost completely linear) but I love the gameplay, the atmosphere, the 2D and the narrative is of absolutely very good quality. Could maybe become easy in the later stages, but you can customizse the hardest difficulty.

 

[Konjad]

Finished New Vegas, this time I also bought all DLCs and finished them as well (but they were all a disappointment). I will skip other Fallouts for now and probably play them in Summer.

I'm thinking about replaying PST and The Void now.
