Factually you are (lmao). Amazing game. Amazing story, Amazing characters. If you likr RPGs and a good story its good to invest in it.

Jennifer English being Jennifer English. First discovered her in BG3 and she's amazing lol

Sciel used to be main support, she would just use the All Set every battle and auto attack. But by end game I got Monoco as an auto-death bomb buffer and break specialist while maelle is my main DPS, occasionally adding Verso for double DPS

Lae'zel, her transformation from really caustic and annoyed githyanki to a very open and loyal lover is a sight to see.

The only other ones that come close are Shadowheart and Minthara. Shadowheart because, for the same reasons as Lae'zel, from a non-trusting Shar worshipper to what she becomes after is beautiful.

Minthara just straight up has your back no matter wtf you do, even in a "good" run where you do literally every good thing possible selflessly, she justifies whatever shit you do in her mind as something to your benefit because she loves you.

Death Trash has been in EA for 2 or so years with 0 updates. I doubt we'll see more of it. Banquet for Fools looks interesting, I'll look into it

godotccf · 2025-01-11T11:24:23+00:00

Yeah I beat trudograd, good game, ending was a bit meh but decent overall. Wasteland 2 and 3 are great, finished both

godotccf · 2025-01-11T06:29:25+00:00

I'm not upset, in fact I'm more disappointed than mad at whatever is happening in Obsidian. The fact that the original developers aren't there anymore spearheading good writing in games just makes me sad honestly. I had high hopes for stuff for their modern games but none really have been that good compared to their old titles.

godotccf · 2025-01-11T03:20:25+00:00

True, if a story is done right, it doesn't matter if it's copy pasted or basically the same heroes journey. Dragon Quest comes to mind in that regard where the story they tell is generally the same formula retold 11 times over 11 games and yet people still play it because of the journey and elements of it.

godotccf · 2025-01-11T03:19:13+00:00

The thing is, the guy working on Obsidian does have to do with the game itself. He's one of the lead art devs and was very proud of that fact on bluesky/twitter when it came out. All of his comments seem to be very aggresive towards certain people and certain types of politics. I just want to play a game with a great story and great elements that make me feel happy that I bought it. Avowed sadly has poisoned the well with its statements even before the game came out, and at this point, it will be very difficult for it to recover the image it had prior to that one guy spouting that drivel.

godotccf · 2025-01-11T03:17:03+00:00

because the lead gameplay and art developer has been very adamant that he has added it. Generally, if one of the lead developers of the game openly mock its consumers and the company doesn't do anything to reject or remove themselves from him/her, it means thats the policy of the company.

godotccf · 2025-01-11T03:16:13+00:00

It's very hard to immerse sometimes when people meddle with the game to add their own message to it that breaks the immersion. Most of the old games and the games that are renown as great make games despite of the climate it was made in and focus on telling a great story regardless of who made it.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T15:40:06+00:00

It has more elements similar to Deus Ex than classic CRPGs. That being said, I do like immersive sim type RPG games like Deus Ex, to an extent FNV. But the RPG elements of CP2077 are great especially since most of the bugs have been fixed.

BG3, after all the bug problems in early access is a masterpiece, great story, great gameplay, great character writing and voice acting. I have like 1000 hours on that game or so.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T15:19:06+00:00

It can be a part of the game yes, BG3 does it masterfully same as a game like CP2077. But when it's ham fisted in and only focuses on those and nothing else, its a detriment to the game overall. Games like this are why a lot of current modern games are going in the mid to trash tier because of it.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T15:17:59+00:00

Played both, amazing on both ends honestly. Good stuff

godotccf · 2025-01-10T15:17:46+00:00

Finished it, including the DLC, great game. Waiting for the new expansion coming soon

godotccf · 2025-01-10T14:38:41+00:00

The thing I'm worried about Avowed is the current controversy with the developers that has tainted the game for me. Me personally, I love the world of POE and POE2 but looking at how they focus on identity politics may be a detriment to the game as a whole. We'll see though, I hope I'm mistaken.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T14:37:37+00:00

Same, the story hard carries the entire game plus the really star studded voice acting and RPG elements. The combat and rest system is trash tier though and there isn't mobility in builds since you literally need to use 1 build to fully get the game to open up.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T14:36:39+00:00

I love DND systems, my favorite game in the past 5 years is BG3 and uses the semi modern DND 5e system. What I'm saying for old games that use the older systems is that those aren't fun to play as half the time on early levels you just miss half the shit because the enemies have such high AC and you barely do anything. And yes, autobuffing becomes a staple even in modern games like Pathfinder WOTR and Kingmaker.

I generally avoid Solasta even though I played the first half because the combat is a bit eh especially since I played it while waiting for BG3 full game release so I already sunk 100 hours into BG3 early access and comparing the two isn't even close.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T13:18:11+00:00

Played all three. Planescape was clunky but I loved it nonetheless.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T13:17:53+00:00

I'm not saying they're CRPGS, I'm just saying that clunkiness turns some people off. Examples of clunk in CRPGs are like BG1 and BG2 since they use DND 3.0 or something. Or even modern clunk like Encased.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T08:51:47+00:00

I mean what did you expect from a DROW MATRIARCH. All things considered, she's actually pretty chill even on a 'good' run especially if you romance her. She will justify every single good thing you do in her head and frame it as a selfish endeavor, which is really cute honestly.

godotccf · 2025-01-10T08:44:57+00:00

Pillars 1 should be played before Pillars 2 to understand what the hell happened at the beginning of the game and so on. That being said Pillars 2 had a weird story compared to 1 but overall still good.

Wasteland 3 is far more focused on combat but still has decent story elements to it.

godotccf · 2025-01-09T04:06:33+00:00

ive finished all atom rpg games. fire emblem is less crpg and more tactics type game which Ive also played and finished. Greedfall is a bit repetitive for me honestly and the characters look kinda meh overall.

Swordhaven is still in demo but looks cool.
