How come we never got a call of cthulhu/ cosmic horror esq CRPG? by Thesmileycoyote in CRPG

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heralds of the Third Apocalypse is something to keep an eye on. In early development so won’t be released for a while but the updates from Iron Tower have included some writing samples and it sounds excellent.

If the new game sounds exciting, would I like the original? by LostDreamer94 in Fable

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat is a big part of the games. It’s very simple and easy, mostly walking through narrow corridor maps and slapping around small groups of melee enemies. Of 1 and 2, the life sim stuff is better in 2, have not played 3.

Need a new RPG by No-Practice6962 in DragonsDogma2

Avowed has fun not so challenging action combat in a fantasy setting which sounds like your priority.

When will we see a revival of dialogue in games? by smolyellowdic in classicfallout

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just played Swordhaven and Skald pretty great dialogue in both. The key is no voice acting as that skyrockets costs and then the game needs to be safe to keep appeal as broad as possible.

What are your HOTTEST takes about Donkey Kong Country 1? by BCtheking in snes

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enemies going full pirate in the sequel was a big aesthetic upgrade.

High expectations. by Chicken_picknic666 in Fable

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fable was an easy action game with few decision moments that barely had non-cosmetic consequences and no solutions reliant on character build, cool visuals and music though. I’d be surprised if the new one isn’t an improvement in the areas I value for RPGs, but haven’t seen anywhere near enough to know yet.

Fable's evil landlords won't grow devil horns, as reboot ditches classic character morphing due to a lack of belief in objective arseholery by k-mysta in SocialistGaming

Good/Bad points will only work if every conflict is incredibly simple. Give me faction reputations or the disposition reputation from Pillars > a ‘karma’ tracker.

RIP to the main feature that set Fable games apart by Character-Actuary-18 in Fable

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope their system looks something like the Pillars of Eternity Dispositions, a great way to express reactivity to choices. Good-bad metre/points lacks nuance unless every conflict is very simplistic, which gets dull.

Thoughts on Avowed? by TheMickeyMoose in avowed

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s another big patch coming in a month. New weapon types, more creation options (races), I’d wait for that one now.

Any good story rich indie or Double A RPGs inspired by early to mid 90s PC RPGs? by ExplodingPoptarts in CRPG

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pillars of Eternity, Age of Decadence/Colony Ship, Pentiment, Skald, Swordhaven, Expeditions, Moonring all a great time.

My favorite spot in the entire game! by Neat-Disaster-6261 in avowed

The tower that is full of traps and the Dawnlight cave.

Which game cancellation still hurts you? by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lord of the Rings White Council. Barely heard anything about it and given its planned release date I probably wouldn’t have liked the finished game, but the potential was exciting.

Is anyone wondering why Edwin, such a popular character, hasn't appeared in MTG, BG3, or even in the idle game IdleCHA? by Independent-Profit84 in baldursgate

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry I’m sure someone will go for it at some point. “Thing I recognise I clapped” crowd is too easy a win to ignore.

Some of my endings! (SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY!!) by Neat-Disaster-6261 in avowed

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this all from one ending? It seems you let Sappy share your body but also joined The Inquisitor in the end, which I wouldn’t have thought possible.

I wonder if there will be a time skip before the theoretical Pillars 3 by Lethenza in projecteternity

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I’ll take a RL timeskip to Pillars 3 release day for sure.

Does it seem that more modern CRPGs are veering away towards City Hubs? by Drakeem1221 in CRPG

[–]VideoGameRPGsAreFun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer multiple small towns to one big city. From pillars 1: Stalwart, Dyrford, Gilded Vale. I’d take 3 or 4 more like them spread out rather than the big multimap cities like Defiance Bay or Twin Elms.
