What's funny is that the inciting incident is probably not even top 5 in dumb creepy poo poo he's done. Literally had some travel thread 7-8 years back where he explicitly talked about grabbing foreign rear end and acting like some machismo shitheel, doxxing women over a decade back with amirox who turned out to be an actual pedophile, "just asking questions" about that one muslim kid who made a clock or whatever, though it's not like the userbase that migrated to era was ever much better

No matter your build seems like one perk point in cold blood is a no brainer. Skill tree basically levels itself as you play. Also lol at spamming hacks on every random vending machine you see for free xp

Goddamn there is so much in this game that feels like it should have been stamped out or ironed by some producer level editing. Can't complete a quest until I send information to Regina so I try to wander out of the area, nope, I call her, she doesn't give a poo poo, no I have to hit phone then hit message instead which is apparently an option and find the one message I can reply to and then reply to it so the quest will loving end. And that access point minigame, the Human Revolution poo poo was more parseable than that. This game is just so interesting on a fundamental level

Cool that the ai is so bad it can hardly find you (or you it) and yet combat won't end until everyone's dead. Also cool that I bought that shock on low health implant so the last guy only nearly instantly killed me instead of game overing when I went into a tech door animation and they phased right through it from the other side

waffle posted:Big mood here. I haven't experienced any huge bugs 15 hours in but it's almost as if the game being chock full of atmosphere on the surface makes it all the more obvious that questlines are pretty bland, as well as the actual things you can do in various locations. It is neat but not very fun to continue playing for me. There's very little reactivity and V's personality of street punk with a heart of gold is laminated, power drilled to the wall, and hermetically sealed. loving Geralt can be more morally ambiguous and he's canonically a saint. The best you can change it is to Fuckup V who uses their Cool to blackmail someone and watches as they pull out a gun and activate their turrets or tells Panam to pound sand every time she wants something so you lose like half a dozen side quests, but that's obviously not a very satisfying way to watch a story unfold

They literally give you like 6 years and each main story beat has a month or two of leeway before you start getting punished for ignoring the problem.

Jack Trades posted:I played a couple of hours of PoE1 and the astonishingly generic yet incredibly verbose fantasy bored my tits off. Yeah it's terrible, OS2 and Kingmaker are way more engaging. There are a few nuggets and chuckles buried in there though, anything with Durance or Zahua. Little gremlin guy can say something not insomnia curing every now and then too. But boy do you have to dig for that poo poo. At least it's better than Deadfire where nearly every line of dialogue is offensively stupid or banal, it's a mercy whenever there's a stoic ... option 2house2fly posted:Why even have options that aren't viable? Isn't it a waste of the programmers' time to put that stuff in the game? Considering how buggy those Pathfinder games are, the programmers surely need all the time they can get... Not optimal does not mean not viable. You can complete Kingmaker on hard with pretty much any single class or archetype. The only real issues are that some of the base classes are simply inferior to their archetype branches with no real flavorful boon and some archetypes don't translate well into crpgs or are tailored for specific campaigns and scenarios (this extends to some of the feat bloat as well). Luckily Owlcat realizes what people really want so in WotR you can be something much more grounded like a fae blooded kitsune lich sorcerer who rides a triceratops

CaptainSarcastic posted:After a couple of playthroughs I think perhaps the biggest shortcoming in the game is how divorced the main storyline is from the side content, and how it seems like there was probably an intent to have the side content be more coherent but it got abandoned in crunch mode. It's pretty obvious that the prologue act 1 missions were the only things created with their intended W3 style design and everything else, including many other main missions and probably the hour long origin stories, is whatever they could cobble together in a year or two or however long it was. The pick up mission is so flagrant in how it's supposed to set up the Big Consequences style gameplay that never materializes past some random Johnny checks for the secret ending Perfect Potato fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Jul 6, 2021 |

I played Morrowind a year ago and it was hot garbage even compared to Oblivion and Skyrim. Worse characters, worse quests, worse dungeons (after the fifth or sixth generic egg mine or 4 room ancient tombs with nothing in them I stopped caring entirely about what lay beyond the beaten path), that awful town Vivec, that godforsaken single song that plays constantly, an interminably slow movement speed even with maxed stats and the cheat boots, and a main quest that consisted 60% of trundling through poorly laid out towns and tribal camps to fetch and deliver notes and books. Doesn't help that the game starts flailing and screaming wildly if you randomly find a piece of ebony or daedric gear or god forbid level up beyond lv 15 and have competent stats. Tribunal was a bit better in most regards but they had to turn every basic goblin into a brick shithouse to combat how broken everything is and that kind of arms races winds up just bogging things down even further. But sure, muh mushrooms and muh bug carapaces I guess

peter gabriel posted:I always thought FO4 was alright, like, a good time. 4 is a far better technical game than 3, but 3 and NV's leveling and stat system is just more satisfying. Number go up tends to trump nebulous perk descriptions in the feeling department (though Outer Worlds and Cyberpunk make 4's perk tree look a more appealing in hindsight). 4 is also way too bloated contentwise for how quickly you smash the balance curve in that game (outright being given power armor 2 hours in didn't help matters), I made it to like hour 60 on a replay and still had central Boston and the eastern side of the map to contend with not even counting Far Harbor or Nuka World and I just had to tap out.

Smasher and Yorinobu feel like the last non-Judy vestigial bits of Act 1 that just barely made the cut due to how insanely important they should be plotwise (though Yori gets relegated to a single ending that barely anyone will actively choose). Game really needed a mid game mission where Smasher goes Mr. X on you. Also I forgot about the Fat Evil mayor who gets offscreened and dumped into River's storyline with barely any fanfare, was funny hearing those news reports again at the start of Act 2

The mission where some guy asks you to get his fork back and you walk directly over to the next shop 5 meters away and talk to the other guy who goes without any prompting Sure he can have his fork back really set the tone for the rest of Todd's magnum opus yeah
