  1. What are your favorite non-combat games?

    There's a tiny little game called Beholder, where you play as a landlord who was given a job by the authoritarian government to spy on the tenets and report them, even for the most minor things. You can break and enter, plant false evidence and blackmail them, even sell out your own family! I...
  2. What game are you currently playing?

    Marvel: Midnight Suns. I have never been a fan of the movies but I was an old school comic fan. You definitely don't need to be any fan of the Marvel universe to like this game, since the storyline is its own original creation and has to do with history and magic more than mutants and colorful...
  3. Baldur's Gate III News

    I was saying that WoTC are their own worst enemy since 4th edition and since then I have been vindicated over and over. Not just in how they market their product, or how they deal with other companies, but they also don't understand what was appealing about DnD to begin with.
  4. No chance to play yet, how's it feel???

    BG3 is a rarity, a legitimately good RPG that does most things right, in the modern day. It's definitely worth trying. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, buy the cheapest Steam Deck and run it on that. Use a 20$ connector from Wal-Mart to attach it to your TV, and get a wireless...
  5. XCOM 2

    Now I need to get a wireless mouse and keyboard so I can play this on my steam deck. All the talk of this game has me feeling the itch. I was always partial to the melee weapon builds and taking all the perks because swords = cool. I made it work on normal difficulty, that was enough for me. I...
  6. Should we arrange subcategories for bigger game franchises

    Yes. In my long forum history, if there is no category for a topic, I avoid posting about it because I subconsciously feel like it isn't "allowed" or is against decorum. Most forums are hobbyist sites after all
  7. What game are you currently playing?

    I've played quite a bit of XCom 2, definitely no pro, but I can give what advice worked for me
  8. What game are you currently playing?

    only ever played OG runescape but i love it because its one of those MMOs where you can easily play solo and where trade skills really matter and actually honing your skills at almost anything carries real rewards, even if only in gold. my only gripe is that virtually all of the quests are...
  9. What game are you currently playing?

    :ROFLMAO: remnant of an earlier comment I forgot to totally delete I was going to say, Subnautica is one of the best VR experiences to date, this kind of total environment immersion is what this console (?) does best.
  10. What game are you currently playing?

    They put a lot of work, some of it entirely hidden, into a combat system only to give you barely any chance at all to use it. There's really nowhere outside the Modron Maze to do much of anything beyond a handful of spawns.
  11. How do you feel about Charisma?

    Charisma is a real life trait with real life effects, and some people are simply born with or without it, so I think it's important to keep as a part of character building. However, it is easily the hardest to quantify the effects of Charisma in the same way as, say, strength or intelligence...
  12. Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    I don't hate Varric, but i'm certainly sick of him by now, his story was completed, he even has a role in government! Literally no reason he should be involved whatsoever. And i'm doubly annoyed by the inclusion of Harding. Every dwarf of *any* importance we have seen post-Origins has been some...
  13. Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    This is exactly what many developers of a successful single player RPG end up doing. It is beyond tiresome at this point.
  14. Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    If you buy this slop you are directly contributing to the decline of RPGs. Don't reward this trash with your dollar
  15. I've just gotta talk about Final Fantasy for a moment

    I will die on the hill of X-2 being a good game. Most just hadn't tried it. Mechanically, it is in all ways a step up from X and even IX, in my honest opinion. As far as I know, it is the only Final Fantasy with multiple endings. I haven't played the later ones so I can't confirm.
  16. Dragon Age: The Veilguard

    I am sure this is going to be a well thought out RPG with deep mechanics, lots of reactivity, choices and consequences, and multiple endings. After all, they could have released a whole trilogy for the time they spent on this! :ROFLMAO:
  17. I've just gotta talk about Final Fantasy for a moment

    The Dissidia fighting game series (massively underappreciated) expanded upon this whole concept quite a bit. They went as far as to give the generic red fighter a background story, pretty cool all things considered. The Class system has always been the highlight of the Final Fantasy series. 3...
  18. Multiclassing in BG3

    Finally got back into BG3 after getting sidetracked and finishing multiple NWN2 campaigns on the side. I have not regretted my Monk/Druid multi one bit. He is my main damage dealer, because all of his equipment adds different elemental damage to his attacks. the Helldusk Gloves give 1-4 fire...
  19. D&D's new Open Gaming License

    I never want to see AI used in an official capacity for a game, unless they are doing something really creative with it, like dynamic dialogue for ordinary NPCs. Now, if WoTC made their own DnD art generator or something like that, trained solely on official DnD art and well versed in DnD...
  20. Contemplating Mage/Barbarian

    a dual class to kit mod for all IE games exists on the beamdog forums
