68k posted:I have the blurry UI and I thought it was normal, too. If I install the basic Wesp patch now, will it mess up my current save game? Probably, but there is a standalone fix for that bug that doesn't. It's related to the game thinking that there's less video ram than there is, and there's a modified .exe or ini file or something out there. It's pretty easy to find on google.

The Vampire setting seems super cool (in a nerdy way), but none of my friends are into pen and paper games and I'm super dubious about seeking out an existing Vampire group, for obvious reasons. If I just want to immerse myself in all of the nifty mythology and history of the setting, which books should I read? Is everything just sourcebook type stuff, or do they have novels that tie in as well?

Adnachiel posted:They gave up on updating it and switched over to just rebuilding the whole thing in Unity with multiplayer and a bunch of little extra bits. They also have a new site. Lol, that will either never be finished or be finished but have so many "customizations" that it ends up being nothing like the original game and no one will play it.

Upmarket Mango posted:If anybody is into this kind of thing, ReShade has entered public beta and it works perfectly with VtMB. ReShade is a graphic shaders suite, similar to SweetFX, but with more capabilities akin to ENB. Using ReShade along with the MasterEffect shader pack allows you to enjoy a slew of fancy features such as color correction, bloom, SSAO, and DoF to name a few. There's a bunch more than that. You can download ReShade by itself or bundled with SweetFX 2.0 which hasn't been released yet aside from being bundled with ReShade. MasterEffect is a seperate download and installed to the same directory you installed ReShade. Is the reshade on top in all of them? Because if so, I think it looks worse than the unaltered game screens.

Copper Vein posted:Best song is actually Swamped. Tiamat was actually the only band I hadn't heard of before playing the game that made me give a crap about them after the game. Cain is a really good song. They're not great, but they're fun to listen to once in a while.

Krowley posted:Counterpoint: do what you want; it's a single player game, who cares if you cheat but you're not playing the game the right waaaaayyyyyyy. But more seriously, I've seen more than a few people bitch about how boring some game or another was, only to have it turn out that they cheated around some core mechanic (levelling in RPGs, scarce ammo in a shooter, etc) and judged the game based on running around some video game setpieces and holding down the left-click button. I think with a game like Bloodlines, the fanbase is pretty devoted to it and don't want to see people end up with a bad impression of the game based on cheating, because the more people who fall in love with the game, the more likely (in our dreams) it is that maybe someday we'll see a follow up to this game.

Don't fret too much. I played stalker for about an hour, found it supremely boring, and never touched it again. It really isn't even a little similar to an RPG.

CatchrNdRy posted:Yeah everything I read made it seem just like an atmospheric shooter. fantasy game devs seem to be allergic to realistic settings, and it's kind of annoying. what's cooler than running around a place that looks like your own city but with kickass superpowers?

Helical Nightmares posted:I think Tolkien rip off fantasy games actually sell more units purely by virtue of genre tropes. i call this "the elder scrolls phenomenon". the more generic and like every other rpg TES becomes, the more popularity it gains. like seriously, why is it Skyrim and not Morrowind that got a remaster this year?

Basic Chunnel posted:Not to mention that a good chunk of the people who would be interested in a remaster would be scandalized by engine-level improvements to mechanics. The entire game would have to be rebalanced against the removal of dice-based combat. Why would you add dice-based combat? They could just give me the same game with modern graphics and I would be happy.

Davin Valkri posted:A lot of Morrowind's sub-systems are RNG based. Security, for example, wasn't done by actively picking a lock in the style of Fallout--it was done by equipping your lockpick and waving it in front of the locked item until you got a message that said "security check successful!" Combat was similar--when you attack an enemy with a melee weapon, there's a final RNG check to see if you hit, even if your weapon's model clips right through the NPC's model. Obviously, if you remove that you will hit and be hit a lot more, and thus damage and HP pools need to be adjusted accordingly. Same with the Security thing--you would need to revalue and replace lockpicks if you can't assume that players must by RNG burn through them at a relatively steady pace. Sorry, I typoed. I meant "remove dice-based combat". I like Morrowind because there's places you genuinely can't go based on stats. Oblivion and Skyrim you're restricted only by your ability to kite and play the lockpick minigame well. edit: Hopefully once the OpenMW project hits 1.0 some insanely talented recluse will grant my wish and just do a true-to-original graphical overhaul with no other changes.

GoneRampant posted:Regarding the Zak Smith thing, I did a bit of reading into him. After laughing like a 12 year old that he shares the name with an adult film star, I found a tumblr post by a trans dev who worked with Zak for a few years that was asked about how they felt regarding Zak being a transphobic. Their response (Since I'm too lazy to dig it up) amounted to "I worked with Zak for nearly five years; if he was transphobic, why would he willingly work in his version of a living hell and never say a thing?" plenty of transphobic people know how to keep their mouth shut to keep a paycheck.
