All of us had become disappointed with computer RPGs because they were going in the opposite direction of where we thought they should be going. They were becoming story- and stat-laden, really appealing to a super-small niche of super RPG geeks — which we were in a way, but that wasn’t really our style.

So, when [David] Brevik mentioned these roguelike games, it was kind of a natural. “Yeah, let’s take that cool, addictive structure and modernize it. Let’s strip away the stuff that’s turning off a lot of game fans from RPGs.”

This is basically my entire job, I've yet to see a female work along side me.

In fact, the most fucked up things that need to be fully scrapped and start from scratch are teams led by females. When I do something for a male leader it's usually someone like a sales guy who knows exactly what he wants but doesn't have the technical skills or time for it. I've yet to run into an exception.


Also, the fact still remains to this day that Witcher 1 is a top 10 RPG of all time and there's not question.

The Codex is incapable of causing any form of incline and it's a fool's hope to believe otherwise.

Dude, we elected Trump in 2016 and memed Elex into a good game a year later. Stop being a black piller.

Elves are more beautiful, taller, smarter, faster, more intelligent than dwarves and can snipe them 300m away with a poisoned arrow.
The disadvantage is they're gay.

That’s ok, 'cause lesbian elves make an exception for human penis.

RPGs are a dying genre and the rotting pus from their corpse has ruined more games than there were ever good RPGs. Constant story interruptions and drip feeding you stat increases has made modern gaming a slog and RPGs did it first.

I think he got triggered for sure.

Sports games have RPG elements these days. So yes, RPG pus dripping into them too.

Level scaling, and trying to work around it, was the most engaging aspect of Oblivion.
