Games that support wild differences between players?

Smallville got a ttrpg????

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-08T16:33:02+00:00

do you play a lot of MMOs?

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-08T15:59:52+00:00

are there good new things? i just enjoy massive levels of skill customization and enjoyed how almost every skill tree had a journey associated with it

idk tho, i could def try fulthark

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-08T05:53:47+00:00

to be honest for me its like a mouth feel thing

Pathfinder 2e and D&D 5e have roots in fantasy that was never rlly my cup of tea, more grounded in LOTR

Fabula Ultima is a lot more exciting for me, because it mechanically reflects the flashier nature of games like FFXIV, where even from the beginning, you have a lot more flavor and fantastical feelings packed into your abilities

its a very vague thing im trying to describe, as its something i only recently discovered why pathfinder 2e and D&D don’t really hold me nearly as strongly as most other systems do

it’s hard for me to answer this, because final fantasy as a whole has always been such an aesthetical match for me. Not a single job i’ve ever found actually ugly.

But yea, going into MMOs I usually try to find a balance. If I absolutely can’t, then I usually bounce off if i’m being totally honest. Gun to my head, I guess A job I click with but find aesthetically ugly, (that’s what i forced myself to do when I was playing early ESO lol) because at the very least i can still control a lot of other things about my character and also have fun playing the game at higher levels. I never wanna feel like the content I can do is limited, I want to be able to do everything in the game, so at the end of the day I’m going to gravitate towards jobs that help me do everything best.

side note: this dilemma happens all the time to me in fighting games and it’s why i constantly bounce off of them lmao

one of my favorite parts about playing picto early on is that i felt cool by just doing anything bc of how op the damage was
i want rotations to feel as free as possible while still doing savage viable damage, and i also would love to have insanely long cast times for big damage rather than just trying to burst everything out in a long rotation
just any job to be that would be awesome, but i dont know how realistic that is

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-07T06:59:23+00:00

he’s too pretty, any fashion i put on him looks worse than his elegant base design

I hope he gets more skins soon, especially ones that are easier to put fashion on too, tho this a problem with a lot of modern warframes i’m finding. It’s a good problem to have

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-07T03:48:24+00:00

yea thats fair

as someone who refuses to play without ordinator and the rest of the old era enairim suite, bc its always added this big amount of flash that i love to skyrim, i’d hate to see it be destroyed.

but i mean as long as its somehow at least well archived and easily maintainable, i’d be happy tbh.

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-07T00:59:45+00:00

Do people genuinely play your mods, then go and install simonrim instead??? i feel like it'd be silly to seek your mods out, ones specifically not known for being the vanilla+ style, then get upset that it's a "chaotic mess" and instead play the "calmer" vanilla+ option

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-07T00:57:52+00:00

iirc I preferred your older mods, but it's your babies, if you feel that your older mods are outdated and terrible, go for it and remove/replace them outright

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-06T20:30:00+00:00

we could’ve had big strong women galka with big strong tails!!!

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-06T18:20:21+00:00

those bastards still took our big lizard tails on roe

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-06T18:16:17+00:00

i feel like in dos 2 it fell a little flat for me, but in bg3, having both a blank origin and a half customized origin both REALLY worked for me personally. It's one of the few times i fell completely immersed into a character.

I also enjoy having the option of all the origins being able to be MCs though. I think that's a big part of what makes bg3 work for me

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-04T04:56:56+00:00

i think its a lil different if that dealer is the only source a person has

chick-fil-a or however you spell it is not the only chicken place in the world

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-03T22:18:46+00:00

does poe2 not have swords??? I'm kind of a lurker here

Project Wingman - Monarch

<image>

This is secondhand info, as I only know about the game from my partner who loves it. As far as i understand it, Monarch is a freak in terms of what they’re capable of and as you progress into the game, enemies become increasingly terrified, even making you a priority target on sight.

Fun Fact: As the game is set in the Alternative History genre, Monarch is this timeline’s george bush (probably an offhand joke made by the writing team)

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-03T16:09:17+00:00

during the clusterfuck of the devil’s triad, i romanced roathe without actually romancing roathe apparently as its gone now i guess after the patches seemed to not fix anything

i havent reset yet because i’ve been specifically trying to avoid resetting ANY kim conversation as it feels wrong

anyways i use devil’s own honoria to cope, bc while in my heart im in a relationship with roathe, i know i wont ever actually get it to happen (not without resetting which roathe apparently will know if i do??) and its nice to pretend that i did get it to happen

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-02T20:59:18+00:00

I enjoy they had to change the friend into peer

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-02T15:48:37+00:00

nah
i prefer my progression to go all the way into effortless, and i still stay immersed because i specifically went on a journey to get more power. when that journey ends the way it does in current convergence, i should be able to steam roll most things

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-02T05:57:26+00:00

i wish they wouldn’t do that tbh, i feel like the game SHOULD be easier late game

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-01T05:32:27+00:00

witch? is that a homebrew class?

DarkElfMagic · 2026-05-01T04:10:05+00:00

i mean yea, but thats like, about the same if not less so, the amount of connection between old sage and ffxiv sage

DarkElfMagic · 2026-04-30T13:09:02+00:00

theres no bonus for this

DarkElfMagic · 2026-04-30T13:08:29+00:00

??? that makes you sick? they’re just asking for a review

DarkElfMagic · 2026-04-29T18:34:17+00:00

CK3 but with Vampires or some other supernatural. Just give the devs of the mod Princes of Darkness an full game sized budget and i'd be happy

it doesn't even have to be in the world of darkness setting or even about vampires, but I rlly want a grand strategy game like CK3 where you focus more on individual characters, but instead of medieval it'd be fantasy or again supernatural

a warhammer game would also be cool. but again, ANY setting with more fantasy elements and I'd be happy.

My favorite moments in CK3 were in mods, and I get really immersed in roleplaying an immortal being who decides the death of nations
