can you change the adoring fan into an elf loli qt?

Overlord kinda does that.

>>14588100

If you asked him to, he'd probably try and become one for you.

Morrowind, others' disposition is affected based on what factions you're a part of, how high of a ranking you have, and how famous/infamous you are

>>14588142

too bad the whole game is basically masturbatory wish-fulfillment that throws pussy at you for basically zero effort. And that the MC is a generic faggot without a spine

>>14588166

While the MC is a generic faggot, I wouldn't say it throws pussy at you like it's no big deal. I had to pay out the ass for that fox bitch to lay with me.

>>14588200

You get 3 waifus practically the moment the game starts. After you get many sluts like that, getting even more starts feeling more like a collect-a-thon than a genuine reward for something.

>>14588166

Eh? It's a hentai game?

>>14588241

Yeah but of the 3 starting sluts, only one of them can be yours per route. Plus you only lay with said sluts after a lot of time has progressed - much like an actual relationship.

>>14588247

Aye. A pretty good one, although I think Sengoku Rance is better.

>>14588342

Well aside from the gameplay being incredibly shallow and having absolutely no depth

>>14588007

The Fable series does pretty much exactly what you described, but unfortunately the first game is the only one worth playing imo

>>14588393

what, it has literally the barest bones crafting imaginable and the combat is just an incredibly standard SRPG.

>>14588393

You can get Fable 1 on Steam. Pretty decent port as I recall too, no crashes for me

Another game that does this is mount and blade warband, with many of your adoring fans coming from all over the north to drink from your skull

in all seriousness, it's kinda cool when a fellow commander thanks you for saving their ass or taking a city with them

>>14588405

I wouldn't say it has the most innovative crafting system or combat, but to say either of them is shallow is simply presumptuous. It's quite "open-ended" as far as strategy goes, as well.

>>14588406

Yeah but get the original version not the remaster, they broke the inventory system, no longer supports mouse

>>14588134

Which doesn't matter at all.

Disposition is just a fucking number that means two things: a.) Threshold for only certain quests, and b.) How much money you can get from trading

It's a joke because you can just slam like 200g at someone and max their disposition permanently.

>>14588431

Too bad he says that only once, gives you +1 relationship, and then never mentions it again.

BONERLORD FUCKING WHEN???

>>14588440

it's so open ended you can rub your characters against eachother until the enemy dies!

Incredible!

It's incredibly shallow. There's positively no variation in strategy except "who you want to use" because a majority of the maps handle the same way and the only gimmicks they have are massively minor terrain gimmicks "here's a room where flying works!" "Here's a room with swimming". The enemy HP is basically standardized so flying really is only useful for smacking something from a tile you normally can't be in.

And the crafting system is absolutely fucking shallow. It's literally "throw thing in pot". There's no player choice or anything, you make the item with the materials asked of you and you get the new item. It's the absolute bare minimum of crafting

>>14588007

Artificial Academy 1 & 2 are h-games where the gameplay is based on simulating the relationships between students, which naturally has them react accordingly to the events.

If you sleep around, or fuck someone specific, other characters may like you more or less(usually the latter).

Not sure if there's any non-h games with similar mechanics.

>>14588166

>too bad the whole game is basically masturbatory wish-fulfillment that throws pussy at you for basically zero effort.

Confirmed for not playing the game.

Gameplay is fun and by the time you get to the first porn scene you already forgot it was a porn game and started to play it solely for the RPG and store management aspect. Though it does turn into a seemingly endless stream of lewd after that.

This is one of the things that trigger my autism in ARPGs, you're a one man army killing monsters that have never been killed in-universe before and nobody gives a shit.

Latest example I can think of is Grim Dawn, even though it tried to do something with improving the settlements through quests, it quickly falls back to the same flaws. I kill a big bad guy that has been creating zombies (or whatever that was, the boss of Act 1) and spreading fear in the region, get back to the settlement and I get greeted with "yeah whatever fuck off, by the way get your ass to the next outpost". Same thing in the following act when I have to clear tunnels of creeps that have been invading the fields, nobody gives a shit.

I understand that people that play this kind of games just want to kill hundreds of trash mobs and sometime drop a shiny ultra rare piece of gear but to me it's always been my biggest complaint in the genre, the world and even the NPCs don't react to your actions.

>>14591027

I liked that in Diablo, enemies didn't respawn, so you could actually feel like you had an impact. In games like Grim Dawn, where enemies respawn the moment you change maps, all your efforts feel rather pointless, since in the end, the situation went back to how it was before you arrived.

>>14591027

Nigga, when you kill the queen of the bugs, all the farmers return to the field and you can send the food they harvest back to Devil's Crossing. That was the entire point of going to Homestead.

It makes no sense that you don't have a harem of ten year olds by the end of most games.

Dragon Quest is pretty good about this.

>>14592054

Explain.

2 is worth playing. It's not earth-shattering or anything but it's damn comfy and a solid game.

>>14588100

There was a mod for Oblivion that made every single NPC female IIRC, was surprised when I saw that actually

>>14595120

2 is pretty comfy. Too bad it is for 360 only I think. Would have been nice to get a decent PC port.

>>14588007

Fable kinda?
