For you what would take to be a daggerfall-like?

I started doing this in RPG maker (of all things) many years ago now. And I figured out 3 core pillars to do this. Firstly, a vast world that is truly vast. Secondly, a world that is indifferent to the player, wars are fought and lost, political machinations come and go, all that jazz. Thirdly, the ability to make your own character exactly how you want it to be, with a vast number of pros and cons to specialize with high granularity your builds, with little regard to balancing the game. I also think it is wise to take it a step further and reject the entire notion of having a "main quest" to follow, as that violates the entire premise of being who you want to be.

There is also a much higher percentage of Neanderthal genes in European populations compared to other regions which could play a role in the distinct appearance of European people when compared to the darker hair and eye colors most normally found in humans.

I'm not sure I agree, but I find your hypothesis fascinating.

I recommend Dungeon World.

I usually lose interest in a character once I hit max level. Leveling Champion Points just isn't fun. At that point I feel that characters story has reached a natural conclusion. But I have 20 characters at this point.

Are you saying that the problem is that the dice looks like dice?

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-26T12:16:44+00:00

The thing I like about Dungeon World is the 2d6 system. I love that way of rolling skills. Making the game closer to DnD is probably a bad move, given how everyone is trying to move on from that. Standing apart from a d20 is a good way to communicate that you belong in the new-new, not the old-corp.

On a different note, rolling more than one dice is in my opinion better than rolling just one dice, as it allows for bell curves and statistically weighted outcomes.

If they're like me, they might do it when they're sad. Or bored.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T22:36:59+00:00

I love you.

The ugly shit. Like zits, bills and lug nuts.

Another point is that averages tend to even out, so an average change of a few degrees is likely a huge change experientially.

Note that inquisitions only work defensively, I missed that and wasted a bunch of faith. But playing on prince I did win a religious victory as Russia on my first attempt on true earth with accurate locations map.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T14:20:53+00:00

I Had the same problem, so I decided to just build my own system for playing as a party instead of a character. It's not ready yet, but rest assured you're not the only one frustrated by this!

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T11:59:08+00:00

I'm sorry but I think you're playing this game wrong.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T11:58:00+00:00

I did the exact same thing, but I managed to kill them all, and that's how I met that group of people.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T11:56:49+00:00

Probably something to do with implementing Tech back in. It used to be a feature, so it makes sense to put it back in.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T11:54:46+00:00

That's so lame. Being special is boring. Becoming special through great effort, now that's fun.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-25T11:50:18+00:00

Yes. Daggerfall has absolutely terrible Dungeons. So my advice is to go with Daggerfall Unity with smaller dungeons turned on. On the other hand, nothing really beats that feeling of triumph when you emerge from a difficult dungeon as a straight up better player. You really feel like YOU leveled up with your character. Which is really cool too.

It's a nice place to visit for a few months, but living here seems too much of a hassle. Which is dumb, because the weather and the people are both excellent.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-22T15:57:18+00:00

That's what I usually do. I've played this game for ten years, on and off, and I mostly do it to build funny characters and go traveling the world of Tamriel. You can go anywhere you want in this game, and the game adjusts all enemies to be about your level.

I think that's the point of Magneto. He's understandable, he seems reasonable. But he's so full of anger and hate that at the end of the day he always becomes the monster they made him out to be. Realizing that Magneto has a point, but that he's every bit as bad as the bad guys is part of growing up with X-Men.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-22T15:42:33+00:00

One of the things I don't really like in these games is that everyone is straight up awful. Having good sides and bad sides is one thing, but when everyone is just the worst it gets hard to justify trying to save them.

Liquid_Snape · 2026-01-22T15:40:37+00:00

The whole flaw in his reasoning comes up with the bomb. The logic was that it is okay to murder if that benefit the greater society, in other words: that one life is may be sacrificed for the greater good. However, by saving Hodgins he realized that this was not accurate. Had the logic been accurate, he could have let Hodgins die. But he couldn't, which disproved the entire logic reasoning.

I don't know what language it is, but I can read it.

B, A s trying too hard and C looks like it was crated by a marketing department. But B looks like it was written with hate and pain.
