Searching for my kidnapped sister
* -We are proudly introducing our new Turnbased Squadbased Terrain Destructible Open World rpg project inspired by Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout Tactics, UFO series, XCom series and Silent Storm games. You will command a company of mercenaries to fulfil contract from all over the world, blow buildings to the grounds, taking sniper shots, and flamer everything to torch. We promise one hundred mercenary characters with unique background, personal interactions, and personal quests. One hundred unique kind of guns from NATO weaponry to Russian, then Japanese. The game will be played on UNIX as well as Windows platforms. For only 80 dollars, you will be able to play the character creation with hair options and fully costumizable costumes tech demo two weeks before everyone else. (don't worry, the personal mod for clothes will be easily integrated)*

By some weird company name we never heard before and will most likely never hear again.

Why are there so many of my country here?

This legitimately triggered me. Gods I want something like Silent Storm again.

Ultima 9 was the pinnacle of computer RPG's. Afterwards, any RPG worth playing has been only on console or at least better on console.

I actually think some of those are pretty cool as concepts. Some are ofc downright stupid, like cortana. Makes very little sense that a virtual AI would have a "realistic bodytype" in the first place.

When we used to play NOFL over LAN, i always picked Inge as my character, nothing funnier than humiliate people as a wagnerian monster "singer", it was good times.

latest

That being said, I would like if the char gen would give freedom to choose whatever bodytype you like, and not constrain the player. I dunno if it's possible in the newer games/MMORPG.

We spent a lot of time designing a whole new kind of setting, that will blow away all your wildest expectations. It will features swords and magic, elves and dwarves, and make you face the legions of evil...

So like Hello Games?[/QUOTEw

I was mostly thinking about After Reset, by Richard Dixon and Black Cloud Studio, but i am sure it also applies to other scamers.

PS: Seems that after two years, their early access still features a single level. But don't worry, it cost *only* 50 bucks.

Dragon's Dogma features extensive character creation options where character weight and character height impact gameplay, and aside from the usual face options you select from a number of shapes for arms, legs, and torso, along with sliders for height, weight, musculature (and bust size, for women), posture, and stance.

It makes little sense than an AI would have a bodytype at all. A big giant head would more than suffice if you needed more than a voice. And I think Knight Rider proved that just a voice and some blinking lights would do well enough. If you're going beyond that you might as well make it look like something worth grabbing in the pussy.

In some games you can but if they have visual changes for equipment changes, get ready for clipping all over the place if you move things away from the default positions in the creator.

Old school roleplaying games dole out abstract rewards like “experience points” so you can make your superpowers a trifle more super. New school ones like Crashlands let you scoop those rewards up off the battlefield, drag them back to your base, then turn them into cool, usable objects. Killer aliens meets goofball storytelling and characters meets a weighty crafting system brimming with hundreds of recipes, Crashlands is everything predictable RPGs aren’t. http://time.com/4570373/top-10-video-games-2016/

lol the plants are getting clever
