Worst moment in a cRPG

[FeelTheRads]

Yeah. You didn't have trouble with your weapons destroying themselves on the golems?

Use other weapons if you have some that you hold dear.

Another thing, about morte

Spoiler

His special ability, the litany of curses can be improved. Copying from some site because i forgot:
# Speak to a Harlot in the Hive. When Morte asks you for money to go with the Harlot, tell him to forget it and that you're probably saving him from dying twice. The Harlot insults you, teaching Morte new insults in the process.
# Also in the Hive, find Jhelai for Craddock. When you return to Craddock, tell him the truth about what Jhelai said. Morte will learn something from Craddock's resulting outburst.
# In the Brothel of Slating Intellectual Lusts, ask Kimaxsi Adder-Tongue if she can teach Morte to be more abusive. She can.
# In the Lower Ward, enter the Pawn Shop and get Miccah and Brocah to argue.
# In Clerk's Ward, buy the Gorgon Salve in the Curiosity Shoppe. Then enter the Galleria and use the Gorgon Salve on the stone statue to bring him back to life. He will issue his terrible curse, improving Morte's Litany (and killing you).

This kind of stuff and making morte-like somehow central character could lead to rather neat game. Making him powerful would require making everybody mad at the character or at world, and in the process loosing some opportunities for a friend and ally able to help make progress. Powerful char or allies. Imagine that one of these paths would not suffice alone, the most profitable/the only possible way of playing would be to have combination of them, and it would be at players hands to determine with npc is valuable and could turn out to be more helpful in the long run...

God dammit now I have to play PS:T again.



Actually, that's not something I should be mad about.

In recent rpgs my most rage moment was the final boss fight of DA. I practically endured an entire fucked game to gather ineffective and irrelevant NPC allies against a retardedly easy and silent, soulless captain badass dragon. The entire experience didn't differ from the first fight I had in the game killing dwarves in the arena approach-wise.

If you want to see soulless dragons done right, check out Fire Emblem 6.

PST didnt have dragon~

 

[CrimHead]

Cornugon and lesser Baatezu (I think they're called that) are pretty dragon-like.

 

[GarfunkeL]

I think dungeons in the Infinity engine worked much better than dungeons in Arcanum, though.

Some of them were ridiculously tight, though, which made party-management a hassle. IWD was somewhat better in that aspect and Arcanum much better.

"Cornugon and lesser Baatezu (I think they're called that) are pretty dragon-like."

No, they aren't.

He talked about DA

"Cornugon and lesser Baatezu (I think they're called that) are pretty dragon-like."

No, they aren't.

Abishai. Yes, they are.

"Abishai. Yes, they are. "

No. They aren't.

 

[Antihero]

Real important distinction there.

Not to mention even more draconian in PS:T.

 

[JarlFrank]

"Abishai. Yes, they are. "

No. They aren't.

They are, just like Deep Stalkers of Dragon Age are dinosaurs.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Dragon-like != dragon

FFS

 

[bhlaab]

Dragon-like != dragon

FFS

dragon-like = a dragon but we didn't want to be cliche about it so we called it something else

 

[CrimHead]

"Abishai. Yes, they are. "

No. They aren't.

You are wrong.

 

[Terror Teats]

Bullshit.

 

[Angthoron]

They're Komodo-dragon-like.


Another awful RPG moment was brought to me by Arcanum - Virgil death bug, or whatever the heck it was, when I arrived to save him after following all the clues and not finding his body there. I then spent a while looking for where I've gone wrong, failed to do so, and made angry noise in the process.
