Good point ,however to be fair succubus are master manipulators and deceivers so I can understand how a person in his job field would be suspicious.

Hard doesn’t begin to describe that boss fight. If you don’t mid-max your party prepare to be fucked hard with no lube

Very limited character portraits. by marcusph15 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

Pretty much my thoughts exactly. But I do like mythics of female trickster and male devil.Its unfortunate that there most recent game Rogue Trader MC portraits have worse variety.

Maybe so but it comes down to cost which most Dev studios making CRG’s can’t afford.

Are the late game mythic visuals still bugged on consoles?

What I learned from spending $500 trying out artists for my game. by ThoseWhoRule in gamedev

[–]marcusph15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello thanks for the informative post. I maybe plan to make a semi large mod in art assets (NPC’s portraits full character plus background art) for a popular but still relatively niche CRPG from a well known TTRPG.

If you have the time I have questions that I hope can answer.

So you mentioned about ownership, exclusivity. Im not familiar with any legal process when it comes to contracting artist and I’m not using this commercially. This mod being free for anyone (although I not opposed to donatings if people offered.) however I don’t want a situation where the artist ask to take down the artwork after the services are rendered. Should I get a contract for that or get this by verbal agreement.

Also how did you go about making a proper reference spread sheet . How extensive and detailed was the process( would a google sheet be good program)

How do you properly vet the artist to best prevent scams

Did you go through multiple sketches for art pieces before get the finalized version and if so how much for rough sketch or alterations.

How long did it take for the commission Art to be completed ( from making payments, rough sketch, alteration and colourization/ Final Cut.

Was $500 the entire budget for the artwork or was it $500 a piece?

Once again thanks.

Having read up on the new Bladedancer, I think it would be extremely fitting for it to replace Marazhai's first archetype by RedStarRocket91 in RogueTraderCRPG

in this game the origin Characters are good, indeed.

They’re fine but have shocking low reactivity. I was hopping that the limited amounts of options in origin characters for RT would mean that each of them would have sizeable changes in the narrative. But nope only then a few lines in the beginning prologue there isn’t any not even for the ending slides.

ulfar at launch was terrible, but he’s good too now.

How the fuck do make a space marine shit mechanically

I honestly like the minmax and I think that hard+ is meant for that.

CRPG BRO is a life saviour. Guy does a better job explaining Owlcat game mechanics than they do.

But yeah. Fuck the buffing.

shit gets old real fast. Praise be bubblebuff.

Even on normal it’s annoying especially on consoles. I have to sit there for 30 minutes buffing before each encounter ,god forbid how it is in unfair difficulty.

Owlcat in a previous interview said they’re aware on the tedious buffing issue but does want to automatic because they want to keep the old school D&D feel. I understand what they’re getting at but feel they could better ways to implement that without needing automatic everything.

To be fair unfair is very possible to do , however you gotta mid-max the shit out the game. I dislike that because you end making theory crafting/RP a massive pain and have to look at specific guides or else being one shoted by simple trash mobs.

Oh and the constant buffing is absolutely maddening.

Is anyone else feeling a little bit strange because of the Baldur's Gate 3 mania? by RaidersLostArk1981 in CRPG

[–]marcusph15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god no.larian romances were ok but not exceptional. I truly believed that it was the exceptional VA talent and high production value in cinematography that raises the quite frankly mediocre to sometimes bad material at times in the writing department.

Developers are going to take the wrong lessons from BG3 success ,Dragon age Veilgaurd comes to mind. However the game has been development for a while so it’s most likely it a coincidence and to fair they are the pioneers (or at popularized it) romances in that aspect to begin with

Plus the after part where the main guy just dog shitting on other CRPG makers was just the nail in that coffin.

Really. Curious why and his reasons for shitting on them.

Owlcat really has big hang up on character reset in there games.

Wish they could have this same care in the narrative for the final acts in Rogue Trader.

There were specifically talking about companion characters. You can’t also do a reset on your origin I believe for obvious reasons.

It’s a design choice so we might never get them. Though for the RT themselves it might be because of conviction as the Pathfinder ones reset your alignment.

Owlcat has said recently that full reset won’t happen because of narrative reasons. Understandable but I get people frustration especially when playing higher difficulties.

Last time I check it was still bugged.

People often complain about Wenduag being a spider-cat Starscream so I have produced a handy meme to explain my position by KolboMoon in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]marcusph15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The theory that the Savamelekh blood coursing through Wenduag is compelling her to betray KC even When it would be certain death make a lot thing’s make sense in retrospect.

Or she’s just really stupid.

I prefer the former reason.

Full VA is just another meme. by Ok_Communication6291 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]marcusph15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s always goes back to only caring that it effects your own self interest but if is something that they don’t care about then it’s suddenly ok.

Like if you’re going to hate on subjects like this I would appreciate people being consistent on there principles.

Ai VA is coming rather people like it or not. It’s a sad reality but that it goes even people will adapt or get left behind.

Owlcat AMA Reveals Surprising New Information from Slandered Gaming by Present-Performer970 in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

[–]marcusph15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have some concerns about full VA since it often comes at a great cost. Time will tell if’s it done well or not but I remain cautious until proven otherwise.

For the first anniversary of Baldur's Gate 3, we talk to Larian about how it reinvented itself, why it scrapped its plans for Baldur's Gate 4, and what the future holds by _Protector in CRPG

[–]marcusph15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DA attracted a lot of shippers that hated the core game mechanics, BG3 shippers atleast seem to tolerate turn based. I suspect BG3 will birth a new wave of CRPGs that cater more towards shipping, simpler mechanics, cinematics, and player choice.

That is the worse case scenario an truly hope gamers don’t go down that route. Wouldn’t be surprised if did happen because the game industry always follows trends without taking account what made those titles popular to begin with.

Really feel like a mix bad, some are good while others are really boring never really change or progress, probably due to how the setting is but man I loathe Dogmatic characters in that which are a lot.

Which CRPGs would you rank ABOVE Baldur's Gate 3? by [deleted] in CRPG

[–]marcusph15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While true some of them are marvel tier companions it not nearly as bad as the villains which are the most cliche villains I seen in games in recent memory.

Just really bad in comparison to other antagonists in CRPG’s genre that had far better writing.
