I really don't think that Final Fantasy 13 was *that* bad.

Josh Sawyer is an excellent designer with decades of experiences, and was integral in taking the lead in multiple smash hits, from Baldur's Gate to Pillars of Eternity. Internal balance between various mechanics in a game is more important than an overwhelming and numbing number of choices, and he's actually great at designing consistent rulesets.

And why change for changes sake isn't a good thing.

Arcanum is a terrible game, and people who praise it have either never finished it or never gone beyond Tarant.

Edit: Is it actually still edgy to say this, by this point in the Codex?

A lot of it is very good, but it's badly marred, especially due to what you mentioned given the continental drop in content after Tarant.

It is very much a game I'd call "influential" in that after its over you love the good parts and hate that the bad was so predominant, makes you want to go and make something that would make something similar so its spirit would be whole like it should have been

Final Fantasy 8 is genuinely the best game I have ever played, never been as obsessed with a game as I was with FF8, but then again back then I wasn't fully self-conscious, I was still developing and I was devoid of any cynicism, I'm afraid that replaying it would reveal to me that it was all a dirty lie so I have avoided replaying the game for like what? 17 years now.
Although the other day I saw that it's on pc now and on Steam and I was a bit tempted. :negative:

Rhin is the best companion from all crowdfunded RPGs

Not really that triggering. Mechanics wise she is. But they could have definitely written her better. A very clever throwback at Ciri, but not as developed.

I agree that she's one of the best (and perhaps the best one mechanically), but I'm really not getting enough dialogue from her. Not sure if a bug or she's just underdeveloped (like the game itself) - but I haven't even reached Bloom yet so maybe she'll have more to do/say there.

So far Durance is my favorite crowdfunded companion. But Grieving Mother and Erritis are good too. In fact, now that I think of it, Grieving Mother would have arguably fit better in TTON than in PoE.
