Board: /vrpg/
"/vrpg/ - Video Games/RPG" is 4chan's imageboard dedicated to the discussion of role-playing video games.
/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.
Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.
Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate! This is a turn-based RPG for people who hate turn-based RPGs. Thirst is just a month away, so what's Ram'a'lam gonna be about Avowed is miles more fun to actually play than ReOblivion and I'm tired of pretending it's not the case I hate it when an RPG has more playable characters than you can fit in your party at one time.
Such systems should only be in a game with intended replays. This means you never need to worry about "abandoning half your roster", because you'll just play those characters on the next playthrough. Automatic shared XP is also valid, but not always present. >nu-fallout fags think this is some top notch writing
jesus good thing i never picked this utter shit up
these game started to be made for console players with 90iq, beggining of downfall Two of the very best JRPGs I've played are both Japan-only remakes that someone translated. What else are they hiding? If i could be born again i would be born as a sload Breath of Fire IV is now on GoG, pretty cool
https://www.gog.com/en/game/breath_of_fire_iv
Go play it Doing stuff around Narsis. I'm doing the quest to fix the broken teleporters. For some reason when I mark and recall as requested, the quest doesn't get updated. Anyone done this yet? What RPG has the most strategic or tactical gameplay? Which JRPG has the best writing? Which has the worst? ITT: Let's make a (C)RPG system 
I've been in a state of heightened anxiety trying to come back to this game. I've forgotten everything about it. I'm overwhelmed by the amount of exploits and minutiae involved in just getting things going starting from the components to make your first to knowing exactly where to go to get the little things needed for getting the ball rolling, it's gotten so bad I've been staring at SGS base being completely paralyzed from doing anything, I'm completely unable to do anything because I'm no longer sure if putting X points into Y stat is going to fuck me over 20 minutes later and what's worse the same applies to items, I don't remember what to buy and sell because it fill impact the min-maxing ever so slightly and completely destroy the mood to progress, then there are those FUCKING exploits that are so specific like planting that goddamn bear trap exactly under the guard until he fucking dies until I realize I didn't buy enough bear traps so I can't actually proceed or that fucking caltrops exploit where WHAT IS FUCKING WRONG WITH THIS GAME WHY CAN'T I PLAY IT ANYMORE 'Rune on the log, talk about yellow or however the ceroba zeniths 
What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Dr.Betty? Is he gay? Why did he turn my dad into a Dog? Why is he obsessed with torturing the other residents of Vault 112? Why does he take the avatar of an American 1950s loli in his virtual world? Why is he even in the game? Did Todd and Emil get bullied by some German chad in high school named Stanislav Braun and decided to make Fallout 3 to get some vicarious revenge on him decades later so they could insert him into their RPG as a girl?
Speaking of bizarre Fallout 3 characters... What was the deal with the android that broke into Vault 112 and equated it to "like stealing candy from a little girl" on his robco terminal? I think Pinkerton was pretty based. And imo hardcore Fallout 3 RPers who want absolute immersion use an RNG to select a race and gender at random in the character creator than they visit Pinkerton in Rivet City to pick the sex and race they want to actually play as (for example if you want to roll FO3 as a white male but your RNG makes you a black woman you'll have to visit Pinkerton ingame after escaping Vault 101 to transition you into your preferred form) >knows he will be defeated by a dragonborn of prophecy

Honestly my only complaint was getting a perfect score on the Chocobo Flying game was hell on earth and the 3D brawler was kinda shit. Out of all the Shim Megami Tensei games, why was SMT2 completely ignored? SMT1 has gotten a lot of re-releases. It's been completely forgotten. Was it really that bad? The hero of Mira has arrived Have you beaten a 200+ hour long campaign before? No open-world slop like TES/Fallout it does not count. I love Vagrant Story with all my heart and soul but FUCK ME I will never play it ever again unless I have a walkthrough AND guide open beside me because it's the most autistic game I've ever played and if I didn't have emulator cheats to save me I'd have hit a brick wall dozens of times during my casual playthrough of it. Is there any similar jrpgs to this?

>Be disco Elysium, pic unrelated What do you guys think of the Baten Kaitos games? I'm a few hours into the first one and I'm not really feeling it. The battles take way too long, and I don't like the battle system in general. The story/dialogue/characters are boring (although I'm hearing alot of people saying "it gets good after 20 hours bro, trust me"). They added unnecessary steps to leveling which makes it tedious. I like Motoi Sakuraba, but the music in this seems kinda phoned in; like he just copy-pasted themes from the Tales games, but removed all the catchiness. On the positive side, the pre-rendered backgrounds are pure kino, which is the only thing keeping me going.
Is Origins any better, or should I just abandon the series? Best RPG of all time.

Explain your decision briedly please Should I get the pixel remasters of Final Fantasy IV and V, or only VI? I know VI is the one that's considered the all time classic, but I don't know if the other SNES FF games are anywhere near that level?
I'm only asking about those because I don't think I'd be interested in the first three since those are for the NES and seem like they'd be interesting primarily as a historical curiosity, and that's not really enough for me to spend money on personally. Be honest, why do people pretend like p4 is the best in the series? To me it just feels like nostalgia. I'm a relatively newcomer to the series and I actually did like the game, it's just that I liked it less than 3 and 5. I played DQ5 DS ver and Rocket Slime, It made me actually like it, my favorite part about those games is that you recruit monsters during your journey.Hearing that it has it's own moncap games was cathartic.
So which game should I play first? Why is this dude in F-Zero GX?
Why are Eggman, Phoenix Wright, Picillo, Solid Snake and Elvis from Perfect Dark in this game. What the fuck happened to our timeline when Square put Tron into Kingdom Hearts? Tron is the oppisite of time compression. F Zero X Antibody. Oh no! The Khans have kidnapped Tandi! How do you plan on rescuing her? Summon Night is a good series.
Can we get a thread going? Will it be kino?
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1685310/The_Wayward_Realms/ Previous thread is gone.
Is there any news about the update? Gonna be replaying Morrowind for the first time since it came out. I haven't played any Elder Scrolls game since then. I remember hearing some tip that you don't actually want to make your most commonly used skills into major/minor skills, because they end up raising too fast and you get poor stat increases on level up. Where should I put the skills I actually want to use? I'm planning on playing a magic user by the way.
Also, Morrowind thread I thought I was buying a new game. But it turned out to be an HD rerelease of an old PSvita game. Ok, sell me on this shit.
Got it +Expedition DLC on a sales whim,
now I can't bring myself to play because tons of other shit to play.
Am I retarded for ignoring and if yes, why? Any other actually interesting protagonists to follow and learn about like pic related? Most RPG protags are bland but Cloud was the best character in his group and by far the best final fantasy protagonist and even square enix protagonist. So what's the /vrpg/dict? How many pure mage protagonists have there been?
>Inb4 you can be anything in a fable/morrowind/ whatever the fuck wrpg v

I am not sure, am I missing any? I myself really liked evoland 1-2. It never got boring, because the ways of playing always changed. What are your favorite NWN modules? dear Electronic Arts, as you can see that Oblivion Remastered is a smash hit the time has come to dust off your Ultima license and remaster them all. Strike while the iron is hot, I say.
I know some Ultima purists will have an autism explosion about this, playing them is entirely optional.
thoughts /vrpg/? keep the 2D and isometric style? go full on 3D? Are you going to put lewd in your game to try to get more players? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyv8tOYlum0 >rewrites the game to make every character less interesting and every choice less consequential months before the game comes out
literally why? Welcome to the Gothic thread What do you think of my little guy? Abelard, why is there no Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader thread on the catalogue? If you follow Ralof into Helgen Keep during the beginning of Skyrimjob, he unknowingly completes an aurbic ritual through the unbinding of your hands (untying the Prisoner from fate) inside of a Tower--symbolic of the wheel/cylinder within which all of 'reality' occurs--where a chandelier casts the shadow of an eight-spoked wheel upon the floor of the same ritual chamber containing a deer head casting dragon-like wing shadows, between the bear emblem of the Stormcloaks and the Imperial sigil. I love my MILF mommy but shes such a bitch all the time holy shit Do you guys have some really good RPJ Maker game like Yume Nikki or Pocket Mirror? I freaking love horror games like that and I also love graphic gore so yeah if you got any recommendation, let me know >gets mad if you side with NCR

One of the most insufferable companions in all of Fallout. All he does is complain about everything you do regardless of what it is. So many years ago today...

2 years ago, over 2 decades after first playing it, I finally finished BG1. Until reaching the titular city, I was like "ok I get it now", but then it kind of became a slog, yet I still soldiered through. I started BG2 the next day and at this point I'm still at act 3.
I did not enjoy the city part in BG1, and BG2 has been pretty much all city up till this point. I really want to play through it, but I also can't help but feel this is one of the most overhyped games of all time.
The story isn't gripping - some bad dude kidnapped us for no reason and Imoen (who I don't particularly care for) is held captive. Way worse hook than the first game. Quests are your typical errand boy stuff. Game is more high level, so there is a bloat of spells and items and most of them are useless, but it takes a lot of time to figure out which aren't. At this point I think 1 to 1 adaptations of PNP systems into vidya is bad idea, though you can do worse, like invent a bloated system to mimic DND, but streamline things so stats make no logical sense and adapt that into vidya like Pillars.
The romance and companion dialogue is probably the most annoying part of BG2. Who asked for this? Jaheira keeps coming up with her grief in the weirdest moments and pixie-elf-circus-girl is probably there just to entertain .pdf files.
It's also weird that I have the same vibe with "spiritual successors" of those games. POE I enjoyed, until it got to the city part, but pushed through (the story and writing was ass). POE2 feels like a bloated mess and I don't feel like finishing it ever. Tyrrany was great fun and I enjoyed it like I did PST, but I get the critique that those are "story games".
It seems I like Black Isle stuff and I struggle with Bioware games?
What's the flowchart for enjoying a BG2 playthrough? Favourite monster?
Easy, its beholder Why is this game not discussed more frequently among the CRPG community? It's the most faithful adaptation of 3.5E D&D. It's focused on dungeon crawling. It's turn based, like all D&D adaptations should be. Plus the visuals are very nice. Yes, it was buggy on launch but it now runs perfectly fine with Co* and Temple+. Maybe because it is set in Greyhawk?
Anyway, ToEE thread. What do you guys think of Ostranauts? It's by the devs of NEO Scavenger and man, it scratches itches I didn't know I had
>remove my ship battery and install it into a space port to charge, which then makes the battery the property of the spaceport, making me a criminal when I try to remove the battery later

>accidentally crashed into a spaceport full-speed while trying to learn the flight controls
>unsuccessfully flirted with a spacecop who was harassing me for not having a scavenging license and got arrested
>spent a full day trying to repair my ship damage because a gas tank blew up in my cargo hold (maybe pressure changes? Tank wear? Not sure what happened here)
Fuck I love this game. Never hear it talked about either >be me, a Caesarfag

Yepp, this is the best game ever made Am enjoying The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy What games let you do it best? Just finished Ys VIII. Should I play IX or X next? I kind of get the feeling neither one would be as good as VIII.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9I22fgdU2w Can we talk about how good the writing is in this? It presents a grounded believable system for FTL travel that informs the rest of the game. It explores themes of racial superiority, eternal apocalyptic return, and synthetic life / artificial intelligence through a dark lovecraftian lens.
The codex is incredibly detailed and the level of world building around stuff like element zero just puts modern blue haired vidya writers to shame.
It’s also very based and suggests at times that genocide is a necessary evil. Wrex even describes the krogan as savage niggas that are not worth saving and who are more to blame for their own problems than the genophage.
Mass Effect 1 is truly a game for white men It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games? >protects humanity from feral ghouls, mutants, robots
>makes sure raider gangs can never become powerful by taking away their bombs and energy weapons
>launches full scale crusade on any government that puts fluoride in the water
Why do Fallout games go through various hoops to try to paint the Brotherhood as somehow being 'evil' when they are the only faction in the entire series dedicated solely to protecting humanity? Anyone else think Final Fantasy 17 isn't happening? is it the definitive experience? better than on the GameCube? I put weeks of playtime into both of these and got filtered the fuck out of not finishing them.
I know the whole appeal is "the worlds most JRPG JRPG" with no spice or sauce at all, just meat and potatoes, but I guess that's just not what I like in JRPG's. Which is a shame because I did enjoy what I played, it just felt stretched very thin and never surprised me or excited me. What's your guys opinion on the Dragon Quest games/series? I haven't played a JRPG to completion since Pokemon Fire Red. Should I go with the recent re release of the Lunar series or Final Fantasy X? the PC port is out, any one try it? Releases on PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam, (and hopefully Switch 2) in 2025.
WE ARE FUCKING BACK, DIGIBROS!!!

>despite how many bugs have been fixed, no one has been able to fix the crippling memory leak problem the game has
How is this so hard? I get that it's not the easiest thing in the world to fix, but 16 years? With a fanbase this dedicated that has managed to fix like 99% of the game's main issues (most of which was done through the 4gb patch)? And it'd be one thing if it was just a minor leak, no it's actually a really significant one that makes it an exceedingly bad idea to ever play this game for longer than 2-3 hours at a time (30 minutes by the endgame). It's bad to the point that I don't know how no one in QA caught it during development. What game would you bury yourself in again if you could start your life over? I'm gonna revisit FO3 for the first time since 2010
Anything I should know or any mods I should get? With everyone excited to play the remaster, I think it's finally time to break down and play the original for the first time. Built for chuds, Im telling ya. Only need to be a little patient in the beginning to learn the systems. So, what was consensus? is fucking a druid turned into bear as bad as fucking a shapeshifter turned into child? Is this any good? It's good to practice japanese?
Any good kodomon jrpgs? Todd raped them, but then paid for a taxi 
I'm a bit tired to see amazing mods requiring MWSE OR OpenMW.
Many modders continue to make only MWSE versions of mods and not making an alternate OpenMW version at all. I guess since the Lua implementation is completely different, it would mean the double of scripting work for the modder, so I'm not necessarly blaming each individual modder sticking only to the MWSE option mostly because they are used to it and because apparently MWSE allows more things right now, I just wonder if the modding scene will eventually evolve or just stick to its current uses.
Some of them are particularly harsh towards OpenMW. To them, OpenMW is only good if you want to play Morrowind on Linux or MacOS, but a terrible choice (or even that there is no reason to choose it) on Windows because it doesn't support MWSE which has lots of mods, some considered essential (the number of people only swearing by Ashfall is astonishing), so they refuse to recognize OpenMW may be the future and almost wish everyone sticked to the vanilla engine (and some even ecourage new players to purely stick to the vanilla engine, I've seen this a lot in the Confrérie des Traducteurs). It's not helped by tha fact that MWSE is still maintained and updated, which continues to dig the rift in the modding community, and I hope it won't prevent OpenMW to develop and to be on par with vanilla+MWSE, especially since OpenMW have so many upsides of its own (ease of use, many MCP updates already baked in the engine and togglable in the launcher, better distant lands, better stability and optimization, native support of normal maps and parallax maps, no light limit, native support of shaders and groundcover...) Are Final Fantasy IV -Interlude and Final Fantasy IV The After Years worth playing? Anyone know any good mods to put a flower in Shart's hair? I like this one but I don't want to make her wear the selunite circlet in act 3 I'll be there, someway somehow >ended up playing a survivalist cowboy on hardcore with JSawyer mod again
How do I fix this? The last minute change to lock down Judy Alvarez to being lesbian only just to appease a handful of deranged alphabet people will go down as one of the biggest fuck ups in video game storytelling history. Throughout the story your relationship with her is clearly progressing towards a romantic zenith. That climax is very clearly the diving scene, where the emotional and sexual tension between your characters reaches an apex and is obviously supposed to culminate with you having sex back at the shack. Instead it just abruptly cuts off unnaturally and completely breaks their whole story together.

KOTOR1 and 2 is really cheap right now and i never played it before, should i jump straight on sequel or both are worth my time?
Not that much of SW fan myself but i dont mind neither, its just fruit colored people with animal details after all. i heard good things about the story anyway
Are there any worthy grapgics mods? im enjoy old games vanilla style but these are quite old and dont look that good anymore
Any advice to make game most fun and interesting? i want to waste my life on a new rpg game, last i played were ragnarok and tow. any good ones? and i won't play gayshin impact "yeah when you find out who sold my wife to slavers make sure that under any circumstances you DO NOT tell me the details of how you found out. i will execute your assumed culprit in my own town where everyone who isn't fast asleep after 9 pm can see and hear that the town watchman shot a resident no questions asked. oh yeah, and if i don't like explanation after the fact i will shoot you next."
this is the best written game of all time? Which characted inspired you the most? For me its deffinetly Joshua Graham, he inspired me to reunite with my local church community.

>Look Outside is a survival horror RPG set in a single apartment building. A mysterious event turns anyone who looks out the window into grotesque monsters, leaving the world in absolute chaos. Scavenge the building to seek food, supplies, and weapons while encountering strange characters. No coverage or negative coverage. It's like Witcher 3 if Witcher 3 had amusing writing and the world was more interesting. So is Mana and Chi/Ki/Chakra/Life-Energy/whatever, like two sides of a coin? Can we talk about Dark and Darker? I got Legendary edition and this game is actually fucking stupidly addicting. I don't know what or why it's addicting let alone why it's so fun. I feel like I'm in constant danger despite the levels being slightly small. Who plays here? Which JRPG had the most difficult final boss? Why there no more games that use a fighting game combat? Early tales and spin-off summon night do kinda, but even soft beat'em up/ side scrolling action elements are rare. Do you know more? Which one?
I have a couple of weeks free time and I'm looking for a rich CRPG to entertain me.

I'm Brazilian and recently fell into a rabbit hole looking into RPGs made by BR devs.
I realized games I already liked, like Virgo vs the Zodiac, were actually made by Brazilians.
I started noticing some patterns in the games:
>Multicultural art influences
a mix of anime, global indies, korean MMO, Cartoon Cartoons, underground art (rarely it's "pure" or just one influence)
>Humoristic tendencies
Even in serious games, there’s meta jokes, trope parodies, small gags, internet humor and fourth wall breaks.
>Strong JRPG roots
Lots of love for 90s Squaresoft, thanks to console piracy here.
>Tabletop RPG influence
3D&T and Dragão Brasil magazine shaped a lot of devs' creativity in mechanics, and "gambiarras", I guess.
BrRPGs are not about folklore or forcing Brazilian culture on you. It’s more about a chaotic, passionate energy, And specific influences acquired growing up being a RPG gamer here. It's Kinda like how Doujin games have a different flavor, I think BrRPG deserves to be a thing.
If this idea caught on, it could even retroactively frame a lot of older games we thought were just “small weird indies” into a bigger scene.
Good examples of the BrRPG spirit:
Virgo vs The Zodiac
Unsighted
Torture Star Video games (Vinicius Medeiros)
Cris Tales (Colombia devs but BRs involved)
First "Knights of pen and paper"
Chroma Squad
Anyone else noticed this? Drop other BrRPGs if you know them. And if you are not from USA or Japan, speak about your local scene. :3
(In the picture: Pirivelito, a Pokémon from the death fangame Pokémon Banana Prata) Is Skyrim only hated here because it's popular?
Would it be considered a cult masterpiece like VTMB if it were unpopular? Let's settle this once and for all. Which is better? >Inbefore: Go to /vmg/
I'm a oldschool gamer and I emulate on my phone and think this platform's very chill to play 4 niggas in a roll. So, why not try something different, something new? GATCHA
Any mobile game worth as an RPG despite gacha shit? I'm ok with any kind of battle system if it's good in rpg and storytelling department and is fun.
And what the fuck are "idle RPGs"? They are reaaly RPGs ou just something else? Give me a JRPG with interesting villains. Dense motivations, layered instead of black and white, etc. There must be a game or two that fits the bill

Bros I'm not okay Why do all crpgs start with the protagonist waking up?
For all the shit people give Tyranny, at least it had a cool intro. It's been 30 yrs and no jrpg has topped these yet. The snes/ps1 era was where JRPGs were peak. Now most games today don't even come close with the writing and sovl that these 2 has. This shit is so ass. I am playing it now, and it's such a subpar game both as an action shooter and as an RPG. Painfully uninteresting as well, comes off as very generic sci-fi. Maybe because I am coming from a new perspective, but honestly, I don't understand how it's considered one of the better RPGs of it's era and of BioWare's catalog. >It's a good RPG! You can actually make decisions!
>Ron Perlman tells you that you're a courier in the opening cinematic

Lets have Pathfinder thread, it was super cheap like a week ago >abandons turn based combat.
>considered the best Ultima.
this meme needs to end. the combat is a disaster in this game and its time we had a talk.
could this ever be fixed? Any games that capture the soul and feeling of wizardry 8? We have 2 dev threads, gamejam and stuff, but... We are any finished game? Who thought it was a good idea to have BOTH absolute thresholds instead of rolls, and also checks that are 100% visible to the player?
I prefer RNG checks like in Fallout 1/2 (even the 3 system where the chance is visible), but an absolute value is fine if the player has limited information like in Age of Decadence. The way checks are implemented in New Vegas there is no chance to ever fail one. People seem to complain about combat systems in RPGs but never give a proper alternative . Mostly it always boils down to dodge button , block button , attack button. For example Skyrim gets shit on for its combat system , but in comparison to it the Witcher 3 gets praise , when both of them fundamentally are the same . What more do people expect?
