Strap Yourselves In Codex Year of the Donut
Is that not the point of the learning curve in the first place?
In JA2 you learn how to cheese the game and then proceed to do that until the end because it's always way more viable than any other tactic

Yeah. Lying in a half-circle at the edge of the map, only advancing if the mortar team can't be taken out with snipers.

Also, urban sectors are way more interesting than flat terrain.

Underrail is so abysmally boring I'm hard pressed to find a single reason why should any responsible adult who values his free time give a crap about it, let alone have a hosted Styg forum here, given that the developer works to make the experience even more shit with psi updates
Used to be better, then he started balancing it.

RPG CODEX will become an extension of Larian Studious's forums. so i advise to make a relationship simulator sub-forum from now on to prepare for the fan flock after BG3 release.

Oddly Japanese developers do not really consider immersion a thing, which is an odd market hole for the country that invented a literal immersion genre in Isekai.

Nice post. I din't had read it before. Anyway, even the "magecentric" WRPG's tends to give melee options. Empire of Ember allows you yo play as a melee eldritch knight and geneforge 1 allows you to play on melee too despite a shaper on melee making zero sense. The "guncentric" WRPG's too. You can beat Fallout New Vegas using only a Katana if you wanna.

As for isekai, 99% of then are the "fast food" of anime, cheap power fantasy to forget IRL problems. But there are exceptions. On Drifters, instead of picking a looser that has nothing to contribute, they pick historical characters to be isekaied. Oda Nobunaga for eg. And of course, he decides to make gunpowder in a fantasy world. The unique nonsensical thing is how Elves are misstreated in a kingdom heavily influenced by a certain guy who loved Norse mythology IRL before being isekaied.

-----------------

But back to triggering Codex.

  • Paizo > WoTC
  • TSR > WoTC
  • SSI > BioWare
  • Dark Sun : Wake of the Ravager > Dark Sun : Shattered Lands
  • Strahd is overrated. There are tons of better Dark Lords of Ravenloft
  • Low level D&D aka Dungeons & Kobolds is boring.
  • The weather should affect spells and weapons on RPG's eg - A fireball should be weaker during a strong hailstorm.
  • RPG's should implement scenario destruction as default.
  • Solasta > BG3
  • Mystara > Faerun
  • D&D 1/2e > D&D 3.75 PF1e > 3e/3.5e > 5e and 4e is generic wow clone : tabletop edition, not D&D.
  • (Firearms = Magic) > Archery > Melee, but since you can't disarm a magic user, magic > rest.
  • UnderRail would be better without cooldowns
  • DDO is the unique post wow mmo who worths your time and would be better without some mmo BS like cooldowns on it.
  • BG1 is overrated.
  • Returning is a amazing mod for Gothic 2. Being a necromancer under Xardas apprenticeship >>> distributing sausage in a all male monastery to become a sheep of Innos.
  • Dark Souls 2 is good.
  • Swen and Sawyer hates casters
