Why are you so cucked?Imagine making a post on KODEX that says "Underrail is a mediocre game"
Thats like wearing a sign in Harlem that says, I hate black people..
Only in Harlem, of course, you might actually get murdered irl.
There has definitely been changes since then, but even if we take the list at face value, none of the games I listed are even close to as shit as Divinity Original Shit. You have bad opinions and you should feel bad about having them.

Sorry bro, but if you really believe that garbage like Baldur's Gate or KotOR are good games, then you have no right to complain about motes in your brothers' eyes. I haven't played Divinity: Original Sin in over seven years and never tried its sequel, I honestly no loger care for those kinds of games, but still, I can assure you that D:OS is miles ahead of any Biowhore turd.

Look at me, I went through 14 out of the 32 profiles that "rated" OP's "dreadfully retarded" take. What a wondeful investment of my time.View attachment 25218View attachment 25220

I could've found a lot more shit takes, but I thought this was enough to illustrate my point. These people are the lowest of the low. Harbingers of decline that enjoy dogshit, uninspired video games. There opinions are literally worth nothing.
Only I have good opinions. I have a lot of good opinions of which I am very proud. Did I tell you only I, ItsChon has the best opinions. I have the bestest opinions!

You see, this is why people like this should be beaten
BG 1 is part of the Renaissance and a cult game
SWKotOR isnt as good as peak Rennaisance, but is among the last good RPGs of that era. Also the last good Bioware game
Meanwhile Larian never made anything good. They were a third-rate developer back in the day, and they are still shit today. Comparing the Rennaisance with D:OS lol
Conclussion: you are a well known retard. Go put a butt plug in ur ass

I like divine divinity way more than any IE game.
Easily one of the more underrated games on the site.

that's news to me

there is
some games combine point buy with rolls such as Grimoire or Dark Sun
it is a reasonable compromise to min-maxing or rolling forever
I like any system which tells me to stop obsessing over "perfect" builds and just enjoy the game
Sorry, I'm just not a fan of fallout likes, so I didn't even play this game.View attachment 25218View attachment 25220

Part of the Renaissance? Who cares? BG sucks and is massive decline for obvious reasons. Making an RPG better than BG isn’t a high bar lmao.
You make me want to play Divine Divinity just out of spite.

My essay I wrote on another thread that ItsChon refused to reply to out of sheer cowardice.
WTF. I've been looking for another like minded individual who also appreciates tchort and all the good the institute did for Underrail. For the record I have been in many debates about this in Underrails discord but it's mostly filled with complete autistic mouthbreathers who don't understand the game or story beyond different ways to kill rathounds.
Tchort very clearly did nothing wrong and only defended himself. We are presented options and depth for the faceless, a group of literal freakish thugs who commit dozens or hundreds of murders. Yet the institute of tchort are bad guys.
Also I liked underrail quite a bit. It's overrated by some people who played it as their first rpg and then use it as a sign of elitism(the game isn't particularly hard). Though I enjoyed it alot

Critiquing the original version without mods which I played up until Baldur’s Gate City. Won’t touch BG2, will mention briefly.
-I don’t think I’ve played a game or an RPG for that matter that makes moving my chars around a pain in the ass. Yet some genius thought moving 6 chars in real time in small spaces, corridors (who can’t push each other in the OG engine) was a good idea, this also makes combat a complete clusterfuck as it tries to be RT while having a system meant for (phase/turned based whatever the hell you want to call it).
-combat sucks because of the above^ and low level dnd does not work at all with high density combat encounters at all (ala rest spamming). This is remedied in the later game when you get higher levels but it’s still a clusterfuck and not fun to play, especially in dungeons due to the awful movement and bastard combat system.
-exploration is a huge draw of the game despite the engine not supporting nuanced exploration mechanics or any interesting mechanics as it’s FOW in the worst way possible. I am biased here against exploration in isometric games generally, but at least limit it like in Fallout and not build your entire game around it (ala tons of wilderness areas). Interactivity is limited and bare bones (almost no agency involved nor mechanics), part of the exploration is waving your cursor around the screen checking endless barrels and stashes with nothing in them. The first couple wilderness areas can be fun to explore (partially due to excellent graphics, sound, and ambience), but it gets old really quickly. Wilderness areas also require you (not force but essentially encourages you) to autistically scourge every part of the map just in case there may be some shitty quests or loot waiting for you that you might miss. Content is also for the most part uninteresting and spacing it out thinly makes it even worse.
-stat system translates terribly and requires a rework generally speaking, charisma includes some reactivity granted (very minor), but everything else only effects combat. Even alignments do nothing (this is one area where pathfinder kingmaker made an improvement by having it actually matter), but something should have been done with them. And again, the interactivity is limited which makes the game very uninteresting, especially compared to Fallout and probably Ultima (along with other RPGs I don’t know about or haven’t played).
Those are the main flaws and I could list more of them in depth but I’m to lazy atm.
The good
-Very pretty, great aesthetics (Beautiful UI included)
-good music
-story is actually pretty good (well grounded) and effects the world in some way at least.
But yea decline is very apparent, especially after playing Fallout. The other issue is that there’s no reason to particularly play the game. It doesn’t do anything to an outstanding degree and it’s not a sum of its parts like Fallout, no good reason to play it beyond for the novelty. Didn’t touch BG2 because it attempts to fix BG1’s flaws but ends up being just as flawed as the first game in a backwards way, Companions would be the major improvement.

For some reason I totally missed this notification.
As others have stated previously, you technically only need to kill the final boss to do any of the main story line quests. Regardless, taking your point at face value, how retarded is it to think that you can solve every problem by just talking. The game isn't centered around a scientist working in the Engineering and Computing divisions at SGS, or an agriculturalist working in Hydroponics. You're expected to fight, and the station takes you because of your proficiency in it.
I will admit that being able to interact with Tchort and deciding to join him could have been an interesting ending to the game, but even though the game doesn't have this feature, that's not a strike against it. There could also be a variety of lore reasons as to why this isn't allowed.
Kek. I always thought that this was so fucking stupid. The Master has this big, grand plan, but he never thought to check whether or not these Mutants he's creating are fertile or not? Let's just ignore the fact that massive amounts of radiation/viral exposure leads to infertility, and genocide everyone wihtout doing some research. He's had how many years to plan this? And he's supposed to have huge intellectual capabilities as well, right? As for his "depth", his motivations and reasons are retarded and utterly basic/uninspired.
Literally none of this has anything to do with the critiques that were made in this thread regarding Underrail's systems, and it's all conjecture about the lore. The fact that the game actually allows for this kind of discussion and depth just goes to show how great the setting is. As for what you said.
The scientists working for the betterment of mankind were experimenting on the pre-Faceless, subjecting them to mutagens, viruses, and alien artifacts. I don't blame them for wanting to rebel and free themselves from their bonds of slavery and servitude. While the ensuing struggle did lead to the creation of Tchort, and that is on the Faceless, they have gone out of their way to try and contain the monster, with countless lives being lost in their eternal struggle against the Tchortists. As for them killing hundreds of people, while fucked, can be argued as necessary due to the sheer threat that the Cube falling into Tchort's hands would pose to the rest of Underrail. And don't try to argue this point with me, we've seen what happens to the victims of Tchort's experiments, as shown by Detritus, the countless Tchortlings which are from human experimentation, and the rejects in the basement.
As for the protectorate, I'd argue that it's not easy to make any judgement on them until we see what Dis looks like under Protectorate rule.
You're retarded. Kill yourself.
