Trigger the codex with a statement.

[Axioms]

D&D is still holding Western RPGs back. Games should explore new ideas and locations, not endlessly rehash what was a poorly conceived setting to begin with. The sooner we get rid of D&Ds limp class system and childish alignment system, the better.

"Leveling" is a lazy game mechanic that is primarily designed to trigger dopamine. Levels shouldn't exist. Only skills and attributes should increase, and of course only by using them, not by the equally lazy "XP" mechanic.

Happy that new blood keeps carrying the torch

Ban all newfags.
And before you start, I'm well aware. I'm perfectly happy to burn so long as they burn alongside me.

Enchanté.

Immersion > Dice

*drops mic*

I've been a long time DnD hater. Let DnD stay on the tabletop where it belongs. Why should PC RPGs be held back by the limitations of dummies larping with their loser friends? Thank god for ARPGs at least. Baldur's Gate 3 and the series in general are a sin and a stain and a strangulating influence on PC RPGs.

Dragon Age: Origins is a good game. Also, I didn't mind Deep Roads that much, because I'm not a whiny little bitch.

 

[Axioms]

Axioms is the RPG the Codex has been waiting for, and it will win RPGCodex GotY in 2024 or 2025.

Dynamic living world, maximum choice and consequence, no graphical frills, can go full combat or no combat character, technically can be a party based RPG, turn based world *and* combat, and it is even unwoke, although that wasn't a design consideration.

Okay, let the rage and denial flow. But I'm right.

Last good Bioware game.

I'm developing a hentai zombie looter shooter RPG. It's going to be called Zombie Tits.

There are already a thousand. Good luck getting bankrupt.

Axioms is the RPG

I can't find it anywhere. Does it exist?

The Steller Blade model should have used a British woman or one recommended by Sweet Baby Inc. I mean just look at these buxom, voluptuous, and totally unrealistically curvy body proportions on this RL woman:



Giving hetro men of the world the impression that there are beautiful women out there.

British women CAN have good bodies. Their faces, otoh, are the problem. Also in what universe is the girl above "voluptuous"? She is ok though.

Late 2024, early 2025.

 

[Chippy]

Serus That was part of the trolling. In the sense that everything is so soy these days, that this is what passes for voluptuous. When in my day it was Sophia Vergara & Salma Hayek.

She's bald.

With rub the titty action. Make it a tag game instead. Grope the tits and run.

 

[Saldrone]

Stellaris is a RPG and should be considered as such.

 

[I eat frozen vegetables]

Skyrim is better in every way than Morrowind.

 

[Shaja]

Just finished Planescape Torment because of the influence of seeing being praised so hard on the Codex.

It´s boring and the RPG is almost non existent.

Your nostalgia vs the reality.

In fairness, Planescape: Torment was hindered by its utilization of Bioware's execrable Infinity Engine, doomed to have terrible combat and poor exploration.

Axes are better weapons than swords.

 

[octavius]

Light sabres are better weapons than heavy sabres.

Chris Avellone's sophomoric philosophical logorrhea is in all ways inferior to simple, functional a to b adventure writing, like you see in something like baldur's gate 1 for example.

D&D 4th edition was a masterwork of design and it's criminal we never got any cRPGs based around it.

Was ready to agree with this until you cited BG1 as an example of functional adventure writing. Something about the writing in every BioWare game drives me insane.

 

[Modron]

Light sabres are better weapons than heavy sabres.

Yeah but Nessie only has a single digit chance of dropping them.

 

[Saldrone]

RPGs were the PC is a lone wolf are superior than those that are party-based.

GOG-CHAN IS SEXY!

Among the 8 types of magic schools, Transmutation is the most interesting due to the manipulation of physics and matter itself; Necromancy is overrated.
