[Heroic Liberator]

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Neurodiverse.

 

[Roguey]

Lilura deserves some special tags at this point. Does anyone have any suggestions?

RPG Codex Dragon Lady covers it.

How about Full Swagger. I’d never heard that ‘til Lilura posted it.

Could make RPG set in realistic setting with only humans, and it could be masterpiece.

I seriously doubt it.
To make a masterpiece, you need skills and imagination, nobody with enough imagination would settle for that shit so it'll never happen.

 

[Viata]

If you can't do well with just humans, then you lack imagination.

 

[PapaPetro]

I'd classify Nethack as a masterpiece within the roguelike genre.

Barbarians aren't the ones that will burn, storyfag.

She's talking about Jagged Alliance 2 (if you turn off the bugs).

 

[undecaf]

A cRPG masterpiece should be a perfect mix of mechanism, character creation, combat, good enough UI, OST, sound effects, quest design, NPC design but also settings and story.

The underlined are nice bonus', but irrelevant in the big picture.

And I'd say the "perfect mix" true in a sense, but it's also something that's different for almost every game based on their intended experiences.

Nah,barbarians are worst,you like to get in bed with some hairy dwarf things.

No, those are the druids.

DEUS VULT!

Bro, have you never seen a Frazetta? The only hairy dwarf is Conan's member delving the mines of moria.

Location: Bulgaria

That's funny considering Bulgarian women used to be infamous for having steel wool between their legs.
EDIT: At least it used to be a joke in my neck of the woods.

So Bulgarian chicks have nappy dugouts?

Gothic 1 - Best implementation of 3 faction system. Much better than G2. You have SECT game(chaotic), NEW camp(neutral) and OLD gamp(lawful), and most quests to join the camps make you explore the camp philosophies and explore more the world. I loved to play as a templar and as a magician. G2, i din't liked much the monastery quests, felt like bussywork, nor found the paladin interesting like the templar from G1...

How many cRPG with terrible sound effects have you played ? Would you rate them as marterpieces ?

Of course not, because a terrible sound environment will just break the immersion at first and get on your nerves real quick, turning the sound off just makes the whole experience bland.

Are you retarded? Read what I said and then what you said in response.

You just said that an RPG cannot be a masterpiece if its setting is realistic and it only has humans in it. I mean, forreal?

Your pea-sized brain could not conceive of such an RPG?

Also, skills and imagination cannot be put to use if a setting is realistic and human-based?

I repeat: ARE YOU RETARDED.
