Trigger the codex with a statement.

Wait is this actually an RPG? I thought it was an adventure game without gear or skills to choose from.

Aren't those just games where you play as a character? I hear the greatest one ever made was called Zelda or something.

Everyone knows Halo was the greatest RPG of all time.

There's no real leftist agenda, just a few loud voices on social network and some very impotent idealists. The real power is still held by conservative rich people and everybody else just kicks down, because they are afraid of the power of the rich.

Same people, same process, same agenda. Leftists are doing work for rich merchants and bankers and this always case since late 1700s. Only difference between leftist activist and rich oligarch is who benefits from larger movement. Believe same things, work to same goal, agree on all. New and old left both.

No Disco with the Furries is a good game.

Gothic doesn't even have a quest compass, so how can it be a RPG game?

Skyrim is a better RPG than DOS2. Yes, I'm serious;

Skyrim doesn't have cooldowns(except in shouts), awful diablo 3 style itemization, archers that can't hit elephants at 14m of distance and other nonsensical BS. Sure, is a very shallow action game with barely no rpg on it. But at least in skyrim, you have tier based magicl progression, interesting enchantments in magical gear and etc. Sure, still vastly inferior to Morrowind, which is the best TES game, but I don't know why people here in codex praises it so much.

Nor romanceable elf companions.

Few days ago Fallout 3 was at the top of bestsellers list on GOG. People are finally ready to appreciate the previously overlooked classic.

Spoiler

-20% promotion coincided with Steam version update breaking FOSE - still, it was weird ...

Crpgs came from tabletop where you only played single character, so you should only be allowed to control your main character in rpgs. Party members should be controlled by ai and only influenced through dialog. As of now the only role you play in party-based rpgs is an almighty puppetmaster.

There shouldn't be any party members in any rpgs. There can be a character or two you go through some parts with, but there is nothing as lame as rpg with a party following you like a tail even to the fucking bed. I don't know anything else that fucks the "role-play" feeling this much.

• Pathfinder : Kingmaker = Good adaptation of a good ruleset
• Pathfinder : WoTR = Good adaptation of a good ruleset
• Solasta : Crown of the Magister = Good adaptation of a bad ruleset.
• Baldur's Gate 3 = Bad adaptation of a bad ruleset.
• Sword Coast Legends = Awful adaptation of a bad ruleset.

PCs should be able to order hirelings. Obviously they can refuse depending on PC's cha and other factors.

You know this is the trigger thread, right? What's supposed to bother anyone about this list?
ono, Victor called 5E a bad ruleset!

Have you ever heard about The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring? Why would the fellowship follow Frodo like a tail even to the fucking bed!

2020 i won 18 million € in lottery. although i was wealthy due to career and heritage before, now i grew too-big-to-fail - just copy Blackrocks index. i was in Milano just for a suit, and since it didnt meet my standards, i recurred to Savile Row as the grave, but yet elegant pinstripe charcoal fits the winter season.
and i didnt buy the Lambo, cuz i prefer being alive...


btw. friend won 42 million 2018 (and gifted all of us 50k).

Larian cultists obviously.

About what I said that Skyrim > DOS2. I will double down.
Skyrim has :

• Satisfying marksmanship
• Satisfying magical progression
• Interesting magical enchantments(compared to d3 stat stickie itemization)
• No cooldowns(except in shouts)
• Better looking armor and weapons
• Way more freedom
• Better armor mechanic(I hate flat DR but DOS2 armor is the worst of the worst)
• (...)

The unique thing which DOS2 wins over skyrim is reactivity.

To trigger more DOS2 cultists

My most played CRPG

And the best TES game

Gothic fanboys speak of exploration in a game which has a map you can fully traverse in 5 minutes, now that's a nice joke

I fail to see how someone playing 932 hours on Wokefinder:Bugmaker would be triggering. It is far more likely to evoke feelings of pity than outrage.

In 2022, after ejecting 2 pretentious, yawn-inducing CYOAs (Eggs of Flatulence, Colon Shit) Ironed Trouser studios shuts its doors for good (for the good of mankind).

I've argued this position more than a few times, and it's one of my main criteria for why I consider Fallout & Fallout 2 to be the best cRPGs.
