Aren't you too old to be playing make believe anon?

>>16076530

That's not a CRPG.

>>16076638

Let me guess: it's over nine thousand pages long, written in pig latin and you need a different manual to understand it?

Does an RPG need stat bars and skills to be an RPG? Some faggot in the Metro thread claims you don’t.

puzzle rpgs no thanks

At the moment I'm playing Atom RPG and I'm having a good time with it. Reseted the game around 4 times though because I can't decide what build I want to go with.

Aside from that I'm on the lookout for three games:

>Underrail Expedition

I really liked Underrail. Although it's pretty lackluster and linear story wise aside from teaming up with the oligarchs at Core City it has good combat and a pretty neat world. I stopped my play-through in anticipation for the expansion. I just want my time PSI and shotguns

>Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones

This is a CRPG I think I'm going to wait a little while before I buy it. I'm a sucker for Lovecraft but the artstyle is avarage and I'm not really sure how I feel about the game mostly being 2D. I think I'll pirate it first.

>Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness

Haven't seen nor heard a lot about the game. It looks like a game made in the Infinity Engine and had a kickstarter that was pretty successful but other that that I don't know much about the game.

>>16077009

>I gave it a shot but something about it just didn't click for me

What didn't you like about it?

>>16076623

No. Had Arcanum but not as buggy it would probably be held as one of THE best CRPGs ever made. Well, more than it already is if you overlook some design flaws.

>dat feel when having both real-time and turn-based combat was a last minute change and left both modes untested properly

>>16077009

it's definitely a game that doesn't handhold you or insult your intelligence. on the flipside, it's also the kind of game if you stop playing for a week you're basically lost because it expects you to remember and pay attention.

>>16076530

I'm playing Jade Empire right now and I kinda feel stupid that I managed to never pickup on the fact that it's an action game. I always thought it was gonna be like KotR where you line up moves in tick based combat.

Closed fist dialogue is great.

>>16077274

It's a cop out answer but something. Does it get more interesting once you dig in more or what? In theory I should love it; the graphics, the fact that you're a fucking god of death in corporeal form out for vengeance. The whip based combat.

>>16077287

I've got notepads to spare.

>>16077302

The closed fist/open palm system annoyed me in that game. They talk it up and try to act like it's not just a good/evil divide like in most RPGs, but they lied and it's just standard Bioware Jesus vs Edgelord Megadick.

I really wish Jade Empire had turned out less mediocre because there are so few chinese-themed RPGs out there.

>>16077495

Alignment powers are apparently not particularly good and the last choice is the only one that matters, is that true?

>>16077522

Not remotely.

>>16076623

it's my favourite game in all honesty, nothing comes close to its setting other than fallout.

>tfw you're so niggered up with magic you aren't even allowed to ride the back of the bus

>>16077571

So then why do I keep seeing the ending choice specifically being called out for making your alignment irrelevant?

>>16076623

Arcanum is amazing, and I consider it much better than Fallout 1 & 2. And i have been replaying it now for like the fourth time using the Multiverse Edition patch, which is good, except that with some time playing, it makes my PC bluescreen. Anyone had or still have this problem with the edition? Any solution?

>>16076638

Always believe in Cleve. Now trying nukes just need to start falling and his doomsday prophecies will come true too. Tension between Russia and the US over that kind of stuff recently might just lead to that.

Anyway, is the game on GOG now?

>>16077894

Soon.

>I got banned from Steam specifically for making a joke about the military being staffed by trannies now. It was a unilateral decision by one auditor who deleted the comment and then put a two week ban on any community posts by me, including announcements. No warning, no caution, no dialogue. Just millennial avoidance. I just got an alert telling me I was banned two weeks, no other explanation.

>P.S. Going to be launching on many other distribution sites this month. Likely to be up on Itch.IO soon and many others.

>>16077954

Nice.

>>16076623

No, I don't hate Fallout but I prefer Arcanum by a fair amount. One of the great things about it is it's subtlety. Arcanum is probably one of the darkest RPGs ever made with out being "grimdark" at all. It rarely goes over the top like most others do.

>>16076623

I don't hate fallout, but I've played Arcanum from beginning to end at least half a dozen times, and I've not managed to finish either Fallout, though I've tried both.

Are the KOTOR games still worth playing? I've been going through the old classic RPGs I never played as a kid, Neverwinter, the first two fallout games and new vegas, Baldur's and ever some new ones like Pillars. Plenty on my list still, so I may want to cut some.

>>16078312

Yeah, they still hold up pretty nicely. Just make sure you get the restored content mod for KOTOR II, it changes it from a broken unfinished mess to a less broken and slightly unfinished but excellent game.

>>16078312

I recommend them all by the way, except Baldur's gate. It's too dated by now, I think. Even the first fallout game was smoother and more enjoyable to play. I've also recently played the first Dragon Age. Despite the combat being quite good, it got incredibly boring by the last third. The problem was with the roleplaying aspect and dialogue. I never got options to handle situations the way I wanted to. Many of the quests were pretty barebones and lazy. Haven't had this problem with the others.

>>16078328

>>16078330

Thanks, dudes.

>>16078373

>I never got options to handle situations the way I wanted to.

Could you expand on that? what did you want to do that you couldn't in the endgame?

>>16076862

Oh shit, the manual finally came out? I missed that news.

>>16078272

I've finished Fallout 1 and 2, I enjoyed it quite a bit but I started with Fallout 3 so the world was familiar. I've started a few games of Arcanium but never got past the first town.

>>16078617

It's been years now since I played it, so I'm having trouble with specifics. I wasn't talking exclusively about the last third of the game. In general and in my opinion, they skimped on the dialogue options. It was the weakest part of the game. I remember being especially annoyed by this in the Dwarven stories. In the main plot, in the landsmeet meeting, the character argues poorly on your behalf in some of the trees. You don't get to press certain points when there should be an opportunity to do so.

>>16076862

That manual is almost disappointingly competently written.

>>16078955

Why is milf todd always so strangely hot in these things?

>>16078312

Yes, they're both pretty cool in their own way.

>>16076623

Arcanum is very much a spiritual successor to Fallout, so there's that.

Any good portable CRPGs?

>>16079046

I choose option C.

>>16079258

There's that leaked PSP build of Oblivion.

The PSP EA collection has some Ultima games IIRC.

Eye of the Beholder on GBA.

Etrian Odyssey and similar games are basically Wizardry clones.

Wasteland 2 is getting a Switch port, could be more.

>>16079419

AoD kind of is grimdark though.

>>16079509

>>16079546

How is arcanum not grim?

Waiting for Kingmaker to be finally completely release.

Insane is just insane difficulty.

>>16080009

Fantasy and pirates just don't match that well tbh. That and the story of the first game got pretty underwhelming towards the end.

Just how much of a fucking fedora do you have to be to have that sort of plot twist. Keep your shit tier politics out of my vidya you tranny sjw pieces of shit

Any realistic CRPGs? Like women who try to be warriors just get their face pushed in and then a dick shoved in every hole?

>>16076530

Just started a new character in Grim Dawn in preparation for the new expansion yeah I know it's an ARPG but whatever

Sekiro looks prtty neato…cant wait for the cuphead DLC

>>16079258

Almost every handheld has a few Wizardry games on it. Even the Wonder Swan

>>16078312

>>16078328

>>16078330

Don't play the second one. It soulless garbage.

>>16079556

Grimdark is a specific flavor of world setting where you deliberately make it clear everything is as bleak as possible to the point where you don't really care that it's so dark, whether or not it's emo goth edge is entirely dependent on the type of gonzo and overall message. Arcanum is pretty grim but it's just ye olde England smog down your throat from the industrial revolution.

>>16081069

I don't recall arthurian knights doing a glorious charge against gnome sponsored musket line in anything Dickens wrote. There's also that matter of Tula nuking Vendigroth and screwing itself in the process or how just about every race is currently in the shits. The elves are dying out, the dwarves are dying out, the lizards are dying out, the humans wish they were dying out. The mages, dragons, and the barbarians have died out. The only ones that prosper are gnomekikes and their purposely bred halfgoys.

>>16082688

>I believe feminist bullshit

Kill yourself. The weakest man is still stronger than the strongest women.

>>16082809

I can squat more than that.

>>16082817

to refine: the 333kg was a deadlift

>>16082809

I'm not sure how some bodybuilder that took enough shit to grow a beard and a clit big enough penetrate is relevant to fiction where the warrior women still look distinctly like women.

>>16082734

Not true at all, there's a lot of crossover, men are still generally stronger though

>>16082809

>Granted, the current men's record is 6270 lbs (2844 kg)

Think you added an extra digit there

>>16080021

>Fantasy and pirates just don't match that well tbh.

Fuck off that sounded cool as fuck, will pirate at some point

>>16082875

No guy no matter how big can lift almost 3 metric tons, perhaps you mean a powerlifting total, in which case the woman's would also be higher

t. /fit/

>>16082809

It's been studied faggot. And well studied by the military and independent research. Women are weaker than teenage buys. Pumping them full of hormones doesn't make a difference either because they're built weaker. It's like comparing cottage cheese to cement. Cottage cheese can never be as strong as cement is.

>>16082899

Nah, you're missing the point. It's not that you can't put a crossbow or even better, a modern rifle in some bitches hands and that she won't be good with it. The trick is that for all their bullshit your average shieldmaidenfag doesn't realize how historically it's the men that were expendable. Think about it, even if 2/3rds of your male population dies in a war there's still enough healthy wombs to ensure a new generation is ready for the meatgrinder.

>>16079258

Zill o'll Infinite Plus. Hope you know Nipponese.

>>16080021

>Just how much of a fucking fedora do you have to be to have that sort of plot twist. Keep your shit tier politics out of my vidya you tranny sjw pieces of shit

Elaborate.

>>16082893

>>16082809

The squat WR is about half a ton and the deadlift one is also around that. how i mean what lift did he do he lifted that much weight? can't see what they really mean by backlifting

>>16082903

This is how you know someone is retarded. Pulling back a crossbow to load it takes a lot of strength. You give a crossbow to a woman that isn't loaded and she's got little more than a wooden pic axe in her hand.

Shield maidens didn't exist because women are too valuable as you recognise, but also because women are traitorous cunts. They spread their legs for whoevers in charge. They have no reason to get involved in war when whoever wins is going to fuck them and give them a stronger child than the loser war. War for women is a win/win scenario. Spoils of war if their "side" wins and a new richer side with stronger men to impregnate them if their "side" loses.

>>16082908

>Pulling back a crossbow to load it takes a lot of strength

No, not really. Gearshot, crankshot. Lever action. For example I've got one of those composite polymer modern contraptions and my ten year old nephew can cock it without any issues. When his mother doesn't threaten to hang me by it for giving her kid weapons to play with, that is

And we're talking about tension and sheer torque generally far superior to what you could find 400-500 years ago.

>War for women is a win/win scenario. Spoils of war if their "side" wins and a new richer side with stronger men to impregnate them if their "side" loses.

I think you may have studied porns instead of history material.

>>16076623

Not really, they might have some similarities but Arcanum is different in many ways to Fallout.

>>16080009

Good riddance.

>>16082922

Comparing modern crossbows to what they could make in the middle ages seems disingenuous. Most men of those times had issue using arbalests, though even a regular wooden hunting crossbow will tire you out when you keep pulling the drawstring back into position after firing, repeatedly. Not as much as a bow, but you're not going to have women using it when you could have men do it and they'd not only be more expendable, but also have far more endurance.

>>16083338

>you could have men do it and they'd be more expendable

That's kinda what I said? Again, we're talking contemporary folk here that chopped wood, churned butter and hauled shit heavier than their ass or their phone on a daily basis. Cranking a gear based crossbow or redrawing with the help of a lever is not unimaginable. There's also an argument to be made about classic warfare skirmishers and how boys and young men carried slings, threw darts and such. But all that moves the argument to whether something is possible from how impractical or plain fucking dumb it is in practice.

>>16076623

I still don't get why Arcanum is so popular and so praised.

>bugs out the ass

>spellcasters can kill just about anything since LVL1

>technicians are inferior and have to rifle through trash cans and drag around loads of junk like some gypsies

What's left? Quests and environments? You can't possibly make a good game on that alone and it's definitely nowhere close to Planescape: Torment in that regard.

>>16079329

>e Empire right now and I kinda feel stupid that I managed to never pickup on the fact that it's an action game. I always thought it was gonna be like KotR where you line up moves in tick base

i loved when power speed bugged during zone loading and remained perma enabled after that, or at least until the next game load (load from a save)

>>16083219

What's wrong with you, man? PoE is a clearly great game.

>>16088504

I don't know about him, but for me the game went to shit real fast about half-way through. On hardest difficulty it eventually became too easy and therefore boring. I actually 2-manned that dungeon in the first city, because I didn't know I could find more companions very close and completely cleared that deep dungeon below the castle as soon as I came across it. After that there was nothing challenging and having beaten the castle dungeon everything else got even easier.

Then there was nigger womyn companion and moralfaggotry about slavery or something.

just a reminder that Temple of Elemental Evil

with the circle of Eight patch is the best CRPG ever made.

and you have shit taste if you think otherwise.

Post a more memorable CRPG music than this

>>16088414

Game is overall good, but it had its flaws and bugs. Now its true that Magic is better, even OP than tech stuff, but thing is that it makes sense, because makgical power would be more poweefull than a mere gun. Its just that tech is, well, technology, and it would become more avaliable to anyone, and no need of any high esoteric knowledge to ise it. Magic is a great power, but is avaliable to the few, not to the many.

>>16081125

That's you projecting pessimism onto the game. The only time I got an 'all is lost' vibe from the game is at the end of half-ogre quest and that wouldn't have had the effect it did if everything else was depressing.

If I recall correctly, it's possible to acheive somewhat good outcomes for most of the races you mentioned, including the Vendigrothans (somehow).

>>16088414

McGyvering bombs out of garbage was part of the appeal for me. But yeah, the bugs and imbalance are pretty ridiculous. I think even Drog Blacktooth, who spent years trying to fix it, eventually said that Arcanum is just a bad game.

>>16088414

>muh balance

You're in the wrong genre, friend. You don't choose different skills/classes/etc. in an ROG based on what's most efficient, but what you're in the mood to fuck around with for the play through.

>>16088683

I heard Circle of 8 added tons of cruft to the game.

>>16088764

Done.

>>16089112

>vid

It's memorable, but it's not from a CRPG, Diablo is a hack'n'slash game. Or actionRPG for people who refuse to accept that level ups aren't roleplay.

>>16088414

Unless you choose guns the game isn't that hard except for when the golems show up. Hell you could invest some points into melee so you're not useless and can hit things, then put everything else you have into charisma and be a charming gentlemen with a party of thugs at his back.

>>16089148

I know. I was messing with him.

>>16089202

It's a bit cheese, but you can use a fate point to pickpocket Sammy's gun in Tarant. It's a handcannon which I think is the 8th schematic in the gun discipline. Very overpowered when you get it that early.

And I said this in a different thread but throwing/explosives is pretty good all the way through. Frags and stun grenades work on golems and you can use a boomerang/chakram for small stuff.

>>16088228

I believe people still mod for the games, but I wouldn't know of any good recent mods for them. I'd say just go on Pocket Plane or Gibberlings3 and see what interests you.

>>16077996

Sadly GOG rejected it:

>We’ve taken a look at Grimoire, it looks like a rich RPG game, with complex combat, deep lore, fun mechanics and simple, yet eye-catching retro graphics.

>Unfortunately, however, we feel that the game would not be a good fit for GOG, as we think that it appears to be too niche and a bit too small in scale in terms of production value for our users, which means that we aren’t confident in its release potential on our site.

>For these reasons I’m afraid we will have to pass on Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar.

Been playing The Witcher 1 recently. It's a bit of a mixed bag. The combat is terrible and just wastes time, but it's also very interesting and comfy at the same time.

Should a video game genre name describe basic themes or the core gameplay loop? Which is more useful? I feel like people imagining genres as describing themes is what ends up birthing non-game walking simulators stuffed with wordswordswords. The phrase Roguelike has been completely ruined and now not even the people who ruined it can agree on what it means. I think this sort of thing is important because it could shift the mindset of a developer to think less in themes and more in gameplay.

>>16091640

RPGs are obviously a victim of this too, with some people imagining it just meaning a stat system, or worse, just a skill tree.

>>16091640

>Which is more useful?

Depends on what defines the genre obviously. Simulators for example simulate, this is not a gameplay loop but a theme. RPGs have gotten their genre name from tabletop RPGs, but what defined them as video games were two things, an abstract conflict and task resolution system and the separation of player and character.

>>16091625

If WRPGs are so great, do monster raising WRPGs exist?

>>16091687

There's Zanzarah, I guess

>>16091686

Just yesterday j"rpg" fans in Fire Emblem thread were trying to prove to me that roleplaying games don't need to have roleplay while foaming at the mouth. The best thing they came up with over the whole debate is that choosing which units to use and which to sacrifice in combat constitutes roleplay.

>>16091707

That's it? And it was released only 4 years ago? Why have WRPGs barely even touched one of the best things JRPGs have created?

>>16091687

>WRPG

It's CRPG. The C standing for Computer, not Classic. WRPG is not a real term.

>>16091678

But simulators just define the gameplay. "Flight Simulator" simulates an airplane. You play as a pilot of a realistic airplane. I suppose the "realistic" implication of the word "simulator" is a theme rather than a gameplay loop, but simulators are always specified with… Whatever is being simulated. That therefore is the gameplay loop.

>>16091734

WRPG.

>>16091734

CRPGs and WRPGs tend to be different genres. I associate WRPG with Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect while CRPG is more D&D Goldbox, Baldurs Gate, or Pillars of Eternity

>>16091756

I have never heard anyone have that sort of classification other than you.

>>16091749

Simulators are often bunched together so it's not very specific if you take it as a gameplay loop. How it is being simulated can also vary quite a lot mechanically.

>>16091687

And yet you weeb faggots call those "Baby's first JRPGs" while praising yet another high fantasy medieval 4 kids save the world visual novel.

>>16091869

So what are your enlightened superior monster raising RPGs, shitpostpai?

>>16091860

Fuck you

>>16091898

I'm not an expert on all things monster raising so correct me if I missed something, but it's mostly the SMT series where you're going to see the darker settings and brancing choices. The linearity is still an issue, though. But that's not the point. The point is that I think that monster raising has a great formula that is usually squandered to sell toys to kids. If WRPGs are so great then they should be able to take the genre to the next level, but they've barely even tried to tackle it.

>>16091734

Huh. I always thought the c in CRPG stood for complex.

>>16092200

Seeing some of the stuff in the catalog is just depressing now. If Grimoire actually got rejected like that I can only imagine some of the other stuff they are not adding or fixing in favor of indie garbage #17454323.

>>16091860

I like Japanese games, I just don't like JRPGs in about 99/100 cases. I don't think they even really qualify for the title of "role playing game" in many situations.

>>16091994

It stands for Computer since they were adapting pen and paper RPGs to computers during the 70s and 80s. I suggest watching/listening to Matt Barton's podcast Matt Chat to know more about the history of CRPGs. He covers the the earliest of early RPGs to the newest. The guy is kinda autistic but I really do like him.

All the good Rance games have time limits tied to number of turns, and the window of time you have is very tight so it appears deceitfully simple but if you don't plan ahead you'll regret it later.

It was opposite for me.

Never could get into arcanum. Never liked the steampunk + magic combo.

>>16092532

>So, all of them, essentially?

Nah, I played the first few games unremastered and those didn't have any time limits and the rpg mechanics were even less then any of the Rance games after Sengoku.

>action rpg

You have my attention which one is the Action RPG?

Yeah I sort of agree with you there, the only JRPGs I really play are those with complex and varied combat systems. Shit like Etrian Odyssey and Trails in the Sky where some amount of thought and strategy is required and you have to put some consideration into party setup too.

Final Fantasy combat is just not fun.

>>16092550

I get what you mean. A lot of people dislike Shadowrun for the same reason, mixing magic with tech stuff is just a no-go for them.

Among the recent games I liked Underrail and somewhat liked Age of Decadence.

Underrail is an RPG, but there is more (really good) combat and DOMINATING difficulty is really interesting, this was probably the first time a game forced me to use consumables.

Age of Decadence has more roleplay to it, but it's way too focused on the damn stat checks, got tired of managing them after second city. The combat is pretty tight too, but less varied.

That's gay. Can you upload that to here?

I'm this guy in case my ID changed. I couldn't really find anything except I noticed one of the tweaks mods has an option to move late game companions to early game. This is amazing. I wouldn't use companions like Tirax before because you already have a full party at that point but now I have both him and Quayle at the party

>>16092573

Checked and that's an old mod. I probably already played it

>>16095366

>>16088228

Get gog version of 1and 2, slap easytutu on top and go from there. I personally ran with Romantic Encounters, Unfinished Business, Tweakpack for TuTu, Shar-Tiel expansion, 1PP pack for TuTu and a few other mods I specifically edited to work with that setup.

>>16095366

You should play a game that's actually good instead. Maybe even something you haven't played 10 times yet. Are you scared of playing newer games?

>>16095384

I just wanted a bit of nostalgia, I played this game a lot but still the last time was like 5 years ago. For new rpg I bought that Divinity Original Sin game a while ago, still playing from time to time

>>16095393

If you keep playing one game it will make you sick, eventually. I know I fucking hate playing my favourite game after beating it about 15 times.

>Divinity Original Sin

D:OS is barely even an RPG, it's mostly about turn based combat. And it gets weaker towards the end. It culminated in me killing the boss by earshquake scrolls while he was lying on the ground the whole time, although I could just oneshot it. Try Underrail instead, there's more variety in everything and combat is much more consistent throughout the game.

Are you implying we got a good rpg the previous year or the year before that?

Pedophilia is a perversion and is a sign of an unhealthy mind both physically and mentally, although people label teenagers as 4-6 year old children because it's convenient.

Slavery will chafe anyone who values individual freedom to choose their own path but there is practical reasons why slavery is bad, it completely halts innovation of all kinds because the labor is cheap and you don't need to innovate because of it. Just throw slaves at it and the problem is solved.

How many practical examples do you have to back that up without mentioning commies and niggers?

>>16095727

It's a CRPG thread. And how can you tell that it's an RPG anyway? I just looked at the gameplay and all you can do is ask questions and be a dick when talking to quest givers.

>>16095782

>Nobody said anything about it

Maybe you should actually read another post an Anon replies to.

>>16095464

>and child sex exploitation

As for slavery stifling innovation because of economics the prime example is definitely the Roman Empire, pretty much all their farmwork was slave labor and they were very slow to adopt anything too advanced. Landowners didn't see much of a reason when they had the groundwork for more advanced farm machinery at their disposal when the slave labor they had now was cheaper and worked just fine.

>>16095811

>child sex exploitation

What about it?

>slave labor they had now was cheaper and worked just fine

That means that farm machinery wasn't efficient and therefore a downgrade.

>>16095782

>And how can you tell that it's an RPG anyway?

The stat checks in the dialogue and the fact they're obviously building it up as a "spiritual successor" to New Vegas I think they even discussed how the stats are going to work in game/what stats there will be but I'm too lazy to check now

>>16095835

Yeah, spell it out.

>>16095838

I have to spell out to you why people wanting to fuck kids is why child sex slaves exist.

>>16095841

>people wanting to fuck kids is why child sex slaves exist

That's obvious, are you moving goalposts now to avoid embarrassing yourself? Anon said nothing about pedophilia, he was talking about child sex exploitation.

>>16095855

It's already apparent to anyone reading this exchange that you can't understand why anyone would bring up pedophilia when someone is talking about child sex slaves.

>>16095878

>you can't understand

But I can, you bring up pedophilia because you are a moralfaggot. And I'm showing you your moralfaggotry. YOu still avoid spelling out what I asked of you, because it is wrong.

>>16095909

>dendrophiles

I bet you don't even fap to archaea.

>>16095894

>YOu still avoid spelling out what I asked of you

I just spelled it out for you right here >>16095841 you even said it yourself that it's obvious. I was never hiding my morality, the first sentence of my post already makes it obvious what my stance is. My only mistake in that post was not clearly separating the sex slavery and the rest of the post as being addressed separately. Sex slavery exists because kiddie diddlers exist and they can't do it out in the open. There is no reason not to bring it up and I already clearly stated it is perverse and that they're wrong in the head physically and mentally. Prove me wrong that I didn't.

It is okay to have standards beyond pure pragmatism, and I draw the line at fucking 6 year olds. 3D ones anyways.

>>16095920

You're missing the point. Most child slave users or molesters are not pedophiles.

>I draw the line at fucking 6 year olds

I agree. Now stop replying to me or Mark will purge half the thread.

Well is there any new games coming out that isn't Grimrock with the same style as a Dungeon Crawler, or Baldur's Gate that doesn't have it's own thread and isn't shit? Also recommended Grimrock mods I guess?

Coincidentally, replaying Arcanum on a preplanned build, from points and equipment to even quests.

> Looking forward to a game this year?

I don't think there will be any CRPG that will ever be on the same level as Arcanum/Fallout/Wizardry anymore unless some /v/irgin shoulders this massive undertaking.

>>16096999

I was correct all along though, what are you talking about?

Guy that's replaying the old classics and asked about KOTOR earlier in the thread here, how about Icewind Dale? Is it still worthwhile?

Nice that my rpg thread is still alive.

>>16098663

I'm not that guy, but Icewind Dale isn't even an RPG, all you do is combat the enemies the whole game. The combat is alright though. Definitely worth it if you like real-tome D&D combat for some reason.

>>16098663

Have you played Baldur's Gate. It's like that, except combat is better and much more combat focused. You create all of your party instead of recruiting people, it's honestly shitload of fun with some class combinations

>>16076623

what should I know before playing it?

>>16099029

The Unofficial Patch is a must.

>>16099029

This >>16099031

Also just the following:

Real time combat is best played on weak random encounters, otherwise use turn-based.

Game is made to be exploited for fun.

Get dog as soon as you're able so you're free to experiment on your build and don't have to worry on fucking up.

If you like it, play as a dumb orc next.

Other than that just enjoy the game.
