man, hard to say. ultima and wizardry are very different games, and genres. lets talk ultima first. first, honestly not even sure.. checked a bit, and found this thread. I'm not sure I would recommend ultima 1-3 on pc. they are SO old at this point. maybe the nes versions of 3 and 4.. These...

yeah, this probably falls under the "scope is growing too much". I'd almost say he should skip Divinity:OS 1/2 for now as well. wait for the ultima retrospective for those. we can say that for wasteland/fallout too. not ultima, but still different genre.

watching an older mortismal gaming vid, and he just brought up Underrail. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/underrail-expedition.11303/#post-4231194 This isn't really for Rajaah. anyone else played underrail, think its worth checking out? its 50% off on steam atm, base game and dlc. 11.58...

Arcanum is equality top tier, and broken unfinished mess. its one of the top games for dialogue branching. where people will treat you differently based on race/sex, just across the game. as well as your int, will effect your dialogue choices. or getting drunk. not like modern games...

I mean thats fairly common. the protag is the audience insert. bland, knows nothing. everyone else is interesting. look at twilight series. hell, luke is the most boring in Starwars and Empire. every sitcom with everyman dad. point break. neo for 95% of The matrix. harry is far and away...

let him focus on the iso rpgs. then we can get him playing the Ultima's. Then wizardry/dungeoncrawls. then might and magic. then kings quest.

they might be hyping this up a bit too much. its a decent game. but, it is 100% an indie game. it does not have the budget of diablo or lost ark and it shows. Some people like the deterministic crafting. I'm not sure i could really point to anything that really stands out as brilliant...

yeah. wasteland was 1988. haha there is a wasteland remastered though. dont know anything about it though. Wasteland was the precurser to Fallout. "The ideas of the Fallout series began with Interplay Productions' Wasteland, released in 1988. At that time, Interplay was not a publisher and...

updated visuals are nice. constant progress. Looks like online code is rough though. getting caught on rocks with travel skills, invisible attacks, etc. all stuff I never had happen offline.

they brought the butcher back again? sigh... say it. say your catch phrase! "sigh... go for the eyes boo."

Gamers deserve all the shit they get. companies can shit directly in their mouths, and they just keep coming back paying the companies to do it over and over. why the hell would anyone pay blizzard for this after everything? IF it got stellar reviews, and you bought it after release ok. sure...

Theres some more to this too. some thoughts I've had in the past, and remembered. big number goes up, and cookie clicker. The first post talked about some of the roguelike and overarching tactical choices, and alts for justifying the arpg infinite grindset. The second aspect that goes into it...

NWN 1 and 2 had some fantastic player-made campaigns. not sure if theres a repository for any of them you can access though now. persistent rp servers too.

oh wait good point. Add the south park games to the list of rpgs to play.

Its always that for ARPGS. An absolute paradox for sure. farming for gear to farm. This is where alts come in. farming for gear to farm, but then get some cool item that enables a new build, or playstyle for another character. start that other character. This is why the 1-endgame...

on sale in steam spring sale. 70% off base game. 50% off dlc each.. or 70% off season pass. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/21937/Pathfinder_Wrath_of_the_Righteous__Mythic_Edition/ however, check out the bundles.. its applying the 70% off twice it seems. 91% off. Mythic edition will...

go back like one page for a "bow mage" rogue build featuring reign of winter bow.

I wouldn't say that though. its more like, 95% of people are cartoonishly evil, and the few that aren't are just so outnumbered by the cartoonishly evil, that they have to make deals with the evil people to survive.

theres no reason to mod carry weight in skyrim really. dragon bones are the only real thing that matters. gold is weightless. theres no reason to pick up all the swords, etc. just pick up gold, gems, potions, scrolls, etc. and, if you really want to just cheese. abuse alch/enchanting to...

planescape is d&d/spelljammer. takes place in Sigil. the city of doors. tides is sci-fi/fantasy. takes place in the far far future. the ninth world like middleearth/hyborian age. but now, 5 "eras/worlds" removed from us. civilization has formed, built spaceships, collapsed, 8 times. you...

Pillars 1 and 2 both have two major narrative problems I'd say. Pillars 1 has a major problem that involves the "reveal". the game doesn't set you up to buy into the mythology of the world enough. chpt 1 and 2, you the player should be borderline willing to pledge yourself to the gods...

yeah. catching up. 2 seasons. hell feels like 4 seasons squashed into one. the shows sensibilities are also hard to place. violent revolution is the only way to affect change? also, violent revolutions are horrible, and every dies. its taking the pikes, guillotines and reign of...

eh. while I wouldn't call them unplayable or anything. . 99%of games these days are too buggy to not have save scumming ready. or even when its not outright bugs, its game devs having wacky ideas of logic. like recently in pillars 2, I saved scummed back like 2 hours to reset Xoti from going...

Bumping this, to talk about Pillers 2 specifically, instead of talking about it in the pathfinder, or baldurs gate thread. although, kindof funny the last converstation here was identical to the one that was going on in baldurs gate haha. I'm a bit surprised the consensus was so low on Pillars...

looking at .9 here. looks like a good amount of polishing going on. I'd almost thing q4 this year. Although still missing several classes.

submit for The Forest/Sons of the Forest fanart.

There used to be a solid lucrative side gig field for DnD character commissions. and, custom portraits for crpgs. its brutal. Any dnd or crpg reddit has people making custom portraits now via A.I. to perfectly match your character in minutes. Does the A.I. have a hard time with hands and...

everyone has. and every time theres a "ask three questions" of a guru, djinn, whatever in every movie, tv show, etc ever.. every time. its the same joke.

wizard versus sorc has swapped around in rolls and effects in various versions of dnd. iirc in that version of dnd. sorc was as noted, fewer spell selections, but more casts per rest. great blasters. while wizards have more options. in pnp wizard was flat out better, due to being able to fit...

Skyrim was 2011. Fallout 4 was 2015. (nov 11th and nov 10th in regards to that question.) its been 8 years. that bethesda is even capable of making a good game at all is up for grabs.

most gamepass games I've played have come with DLC. Skyrim had everything for the Anniversary edition. Pillars 2 atm has seeker,slayer, survivor dlc, beast of winter dlc, forgotten sanctum dlc, all paid dlcs. and the free ones as well. What you get in gamepass is Ultimate edition. Depends...

I'll throw out a couple. A little while back Gedonia memed around and was called "skyrim at home". it wasn't it was a piece of shit. Ardenfall here however is "Morrowwind at home". Theres a demo. Songs of syx is a dwarf fortress type game which often gets ignored. the demo is not up...

Jung-E is a pretty solid Korean flick on Netflix. play Soma first. (not as good. just has some of the same themes present.)

imho pillars 2 is leagues better then pillars 1. I still don't know why people don't like tides of numenera . its a heady sci-fi story touching on all sorts of crazy concepts. anyone that likes isomov, heavy metal, dr who, etc should appreciate it. if you wanted a game with philosophical...

pretty forgettable. fairly by the numbers movie that rips off a bunch of others, without really having anything new or interesting to say.

"can't beat the first boss, its supposed to weed out the weak" "Every game doesn't have to be for everybody." is kindof a weird thing to think or say for a 70$ game. Imagine buying a game at that price and someone saying that shit to you. oh, really. are you going to refund my money? oh...

bricked is not the same as full system crash. fuck twitchtv forces me to manually power off my system(as in, flip switch in the back as even the reset button in the front doesn't work) sometimes as it has weird violations with other stuff. bricked is when it outright damages hardware. burns out...

yeah. I watched the movie originally. then watch s1 and half of 2 I think. and then went to google to read up on the plot. and.. lol? I dunno. maybe somehow the books didn't make that shit sound completely retarded. but I find that hard to believe.

we have any russian speakers here? I think so right? I've heard the translation is questionable at times. might be why sometimes the PC doesn't really respond to things that were said logically. no crashes for me. But, yes 100% situations where I was stuck on geometry. its always a danger...
