Board: /vrpg/

"/vrpg/ - Video Games/RPG" is 4chan's imageboard dedicated to the discussion of role-playing video games.

Welcome to /vrpg/ - Vidya/Role-playing Games

vrpg

/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!

Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vrpg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/.

RPG Development

RPG Save

Did you "save" your world?

wise

Level scaling completely ruins the entire point of RPGs. Why bother giving the player levels if the enemies are just going to get stronger anyway? It's just a lazy way for devs to "balance" the game so they don't have to consider combat encounters throughout. It should never be the case where staying low level is actually the optimal strategy, you shouldn't punish a player for playing the game.
Fuck level scaling.

Neverwinter Nights modules and expansions

Was thinking of getting NWN2 just to play Mask of the Betrayer (given its reputation). I've never played a NWN game though. Should I be fine to skip the OC? I watched an hour or two of both on YT and the OC looks like the cheesiest fantasy schlock, whereas the opening section of MotB was kino as fuck. Also, more importantly, the modules for these games are a big selling point, so are there any that you guys like?

Basically discussion both NWN games, which expansions you like, and which modules. I'm open to trying out both games

Quest For Glory

capsule_616x353 (1)

What the fuck, why didn't anyone tell me these were RPG's and not adventure games? Avoided them for years since I looked at screenshots and it looked like Point and Click garbage, and then I recently had a friend recommend it to me and realized I was wrong.

Any of you fags tried out the Hearts series?
They kept the first two games on the same console but I am so fucking confused as to why they made the finale of their story-centric trilogy into a PC MMO. Not to mention the dramatic shift in playstyle from free form action in Hearts 1 to a turn-based routine in the sequel.

TES5: Skyrim: Home of the Nords: Seen Any Elves Edition

Nine

I recently replayed Morrowind for the first time in a decade, and then finished Oblivion for the first time. I'm now going to finish Skyrim for the first time, and see how it stacks up, to contrast the strengths and weaknesses of all three, and consider how the series has progressed and regressed, without the cloud of nostalgia.
Few houserules:
>no potions or alchemy
>no enchanting
>no exploits or cheese
>vendors sell at 4x and buy at 0.25x, unaffected by speech skill
>fast travel only to towns I've already walked to, 50 gold a pop
>light, minimalist modding, made a few small ones myself
Gonna split up the game into three characters that do different factions, quests, and dungeons, to stay within the archetypes I want to play as, and avoid overleveling the game.
>Breton cleric, atronach sign
Mace, shield, and crossbow. Heavy armor and restoration/alteration. College and Dawnguard. Even split magicka/health/stamina.
>Imperial paladin, lord sign.
Greatsword, bow. Heavy armor and restoration. Main quest and Imperial Legion. Even split health/stamina.
>Nord barbarian, lady sign.
Battleaxe, light armor. Companions, Stormcloaks, then main quest and the Solstheim content. Pure health. No magic allowed, just facetanking with a giant pool of HP. Only healing available will be natural regen and eating buckets of stew. Going to be pretty metal.

I've already seen elves in the introduction, day is ruined.

Fallout 3 Moira run

moira

With the recent interest in Fallout, I decided to pick up Fallout 3 again. I'm planning a Moira-centric run using the Craterside Enterprises mod, and I am wondering what NSFW mods would work best with it. I have heard of the Quo Vagis and Seducing Women mods, but I'm not big on the idea of banging anyone other than Moira.

Would also appreciate advice on other recommended Fallout 3 mods.(And no, I am not doing a ToTW run, this is just Fallout 3 alone as Craterside Enterprises is not ToTW- compatible)

Is it possible to combine the immersive first person world of TES with the turnbased combat of Baldur's Gate 3? Is such a thing even possible?...yes it is.

Final Fantasy XII

1518024630_final-fantasy-xii-key-art

I've been playing through this game and I've begun to realize, after hearing so much about it for years, it is only "hated" by Final Fantasy fans because it is simply too much of an RPG. Too many secrets, too many dungeons, too many gameplay options, too many ways to build characters, etc. It's just too much for your average mush-brained Final Fantasy player, and I think that is hilarious.

Games where your character's stats/perks relate to transformation of their body

Coc

Games where you play as some kind of mutant/cyborg/non-human and gain perks/stats from physical changes to your body.
Pic related is a porn game but it's the best example of this that I've ever seen. You can become a drider and gain poison and webs. You can become a dragon and gain breath attacks. These transformations affect your stats too.
Do any non-porn games do this type of thing?
I can't think of any strong examples, only weak ones. You play as a cyborg in Deus Ex, but the augments don't really change your character, it feels the same as unlocking a new ability in any other game.
Are there any games that do this as well as Corruption of Champions?

Where can I play a PVP rogue/thief like Shadowbane?

Thieffi

Posted this is /vm/ but figured I would try here.

Any idea what kind of game I can play a rogue like in ol' Shadowbane?

Had a blast stealing items from parties, getting stalked by Scouts while I was on the run, breaking into cities with my bird thief, and backstabbing clothies. The full looting mechanics of dead players and being able to steal specific items from players was a mechanic I've never seen in another game. Had great late nights as a teen where I got a rush stealing Godlike runes and competing with rune hunters in the wild. Getting DMs cursing me out was based as fuck.

The closest game I've seen so far in todays world is Dark and Darker that has these rogue features. Is there any other game where I can play a complete piece of shit?

I played a WoW classic rogue to 60 a few years ago but it wasn't the same. Can't stand the grind. Thats one thing shadowbane got right was the fast grind and gear acquisition.

Only the shittiest Fallout games are the most buyed

Sans titre

Seeing that after the TV show, people only play the worst Fallout games, these dumbed down casual garbages with less and less RPG elements, less and less complexity and depth, this really makes me bad and mad. I can't stop being angry at it, help.

You didn't beat the game if you cucked out to the Supreme Court.

-_-

>play kingdom come deliverence after it being shilled here for so long
>all the posts about it seem to be about how it's le hard this and that
>it's actually super easy if you do the entire training quest and not just the first bit
>economy is completely fucked once you get a horse because it basically gives you basically infinite inventory space and just a few trips back and forth from any fight with armoured opponents nets you great boons
>combat is clearly designed for dueling and yet the game keeps throwing multiple enemies at you, yet using the bow feels like cheese because it's so trivially easy to hit anyone if you just put a dot in the middle of your screen
common comback is "hurr durr have you tried fighting 3 guys at once irl" well why does the fucking game keep throwing 3 guys at me in missions huh?

There's a lot more i can complain about, open world basically runs out of content once you're done with the town that starts with R and the one with the chuch under renovations, the rest of the map is basically filler.

Story is kinda shit, some chapters are neat in the same way a mid TV show can have a good episode but the our protag's motivation is really weak. Hometown gets massacred by some thug, go kill that thug, right, makes sense. But the guy that ordered it is so distant he can never realistically be involved in the story. So once that is done, all that remains is "hurr durr i want that sword my dad was working on" even though the guy the sword is for says he has like 100 and doesn't care, so that feels incredibly contrived. And then that gets resolved in the first third of the game also. The rest is just kinda meandering from random assignment to random assignment until the game ends.

Searching for treasure is somewhat fun but the game can't reward you with much more than money and shit you sell for money. I had the absolute best gear 1/3 through the game just because i did sidequests as they appeared.

Skies of Arcadia Legends (USA)-240324-232812

A light-hearted JRPG loosely based on the historical age of discovery, where people live on floating islands, and the developers biggest stated goal was to give players the freedom to explore. A unique game with surprising features you'd never expect to find in a JRPG and a rarely matched spirit of adventure. Does Skies of Arcadia still hold up?

After over 20+ years, how is Morrowind still so fucking good? Even though it's obviously inferior to modern day TES games I still feel like it's refreshing to going back to a DnD dice rolling tier combat system. You don't have to worry about actual combat you just swing your weapon at your enemy like a retard, and I love it.

24FA58B1-FFA6-40CF-AA84-F5380107C721

There is a reaper that is destroying all the ships attacking it. Any sort strategy that isn’t focused on destroying it could mean dooming the galaxy. Shepard sacrificing the alliance fleets to help the destiny ascension escape has him put the lives of three politicians above the lives of the entire galaxy. And it’s supposed to be a paragon option. Saving a few of elites is the good boy option. So dumb. The choices in mass effect make nonsense. Just like curing the genocide all because you care about making your friend happy rather than making sure the galaxy wont be engaged in a war to stop the krogan after the reapers are dealt with.

Yeah it's cool to name your guy Sebulba Shepard, Raj Shepard, Shrek Shepard, Lucky Shepard, Galaxy Shepard or whatever based sounding shit like that, but explain why no character in all 3 games mentions your 1st name? You can't. The trilogy makes more sense if nobody says your name with the good reason like they're afraid to do so in-universe... be it they're afraid to look racist, or afraid of offending the boss, etc.

G2_1

So I just started this, I downgraded to 1.3 or whatever and removed NOTR. It was a hassle to make work on Steam but It'd doable.

I've joined the militia in order to become a Paladin later and after talking to the commander in Khorinis I was sent to the valley of mines, after I tried again and again to run through the Orcs and reach the castle I was immediately told to fuck off to the mines to find the missing scrappers. Is this point in the game just supposed to be >savescum till you run past orcs?
I'm starting to get really bored of this shit, with 35 strength and a "fine sword" there really is no reason to fight anything besides wolved and rats. I remember Risen making you SUCK at the beggining but it wasn't like this, often soon after getting assfucked the game gave you what you needed along the way to be able to kill it shortly afterwards and there was constant sense of progression. In G2 I haven't reached this point yet. Should I stop following the main story and grind fetchquests and shit? Even if I do there doesn't seem to be anything worth spending gold on apart from more sword training which will not save me because orcs can 1shot me anyway. Do I need to grind 2500 gold for the "hardenned militia" armor they sell at the castle in the valley?

I will elaborate about Shion Uzuki in the comments.

Am I supposed to jump through each character's story as I meet them, or is it better that I finish them one by one? Right now I'm just kinda wandering aimlessly through the map.

Stormcloak or Imperial?

I always go with Imperial, they seem more reasonable

Are there certain in-game organizations or structures that you find very cozy? I really like the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout games, and it gives me the same feeling as the Jedi Temple in Knights of the Old Republic games. I also like the Heroes Guild in Fable. What similar thing do you like in other games?

I don't use this board at all I just want to remind everyone that Cloud Strife was never meant to be some faggot queer pretty boy, he was initially marketed as a sincere badass and ONLY THEN years later did Square decide to double down on making him into a prissy sissy homo.

I played the PS2 version of FFX2 a while ago but now I want to play the international version to play Shinra's monster arena thing. I saw somewhere that some monsters are missable or something and you need to do NG+ if that happens? How does it even work, like what am I in for?

Chrono-Trigger-Lavos

This game's plot makes absolutely no fucking sense.

Crono, Lucca, and Marle are teenagers in the year 1000. Lavos comes in 1999. So why the fuck should they care about Lavos?

Let's say they live to be 120 years old. That's in the 1100s. Lavos is almost 900 years away. If they have children in the 1010s and their kids also reached 120, Lavos would be around 870 years away.

They won't ever have to deal with Lavos. Their kids won't deal with him. Their grandkids won't deal with him. The great-grandkids will be born 900 years before Lavos. Add twenty greats and he's still a couple centuries away.

SO WHY THE FUCK DO THEY CARE ABOUT LAVOS

What is most dark and depressing RPG game out there? I liked that quest in Fallout Nevada about pedo kidnapper that holds children in his basement and that you can make a deal with him (best trader in the game). That gave me some True Detective vibes

Imagine having the creative freedom to make over a dozen full-fledged RPGs with continuous plot and lore, and wasting it on 90% slice of life soap opera in the most generic fantasy setting possible.

What are some of the worst rpgs ever made?

playing roles in RPGs

PlanescapeTorment_01_1280x1024

When did RPGs stop being about roleplaying? Were they ever really about roleplaying?
Most players play essentially the same character, who makes roughly the same decisions, with the cosmetic change of being a different class and using different skills. Your roleplay is going college but changing your major. But if you were to really roleplay you'd have to make decisions according to some made up principles and ideals of your character; roleplaying as introverted character means you can't start a conversation with a named NPC drunkard screaming on the side of the road, that questline is not for this character. In RPGs your character has no personality and inconsistent principles. We all know this. I wonder if ancient RPG gamers had different approach to roleplaying in vidya, as they came from pen&paper sessions with different kind of roleplaying. Were Might&Magic, Wizardry, Ultima, early The Elder Scrolls, played differently by people at the time compared to how someone born after 2002 would play them?

Why do so many westerners try to make their own jrpgs but not the other way around? For every semi popular retro jrpg there is some indie fuck making a rip off but you don't see eastern takes on crpgs (ie, bg, fallout) or open world rpgs (Bethesda).

At best they make lots of drpgs like wizardry but that genre might as well be another flavor of jrpg now.

>"Evil" imperial path completely prevents the bloodshed and makes town safe and prosperous. You become the richest and most important man in the empire and the duke starts peacefully reforming society
>"Good" rebel path forces you to choose between three shitty outcomes, all of whom guarantee poverty and massive bloodshed
Is there even a single reason to not be a "bad guy"?

is this really shit? i got it for free from Epic so i'm wasn't hugely invested in it. the beginning is very fun the first time, the open world, gunplay and quests are so much better than people give it credit for and the companions while not super deep are pretty funny,
this just feels like the perfect mix of action and rpg.

The only bad thing i can say is the last main quest is too cinematic.

200+ IQ villains thread

I respect Albedo.

He taught me respect for the balance of conscience and impunity that Death carries, which I began to grasp when I confronted him as a child. Death grants peaceful and glorious death to all righteous people and comfort to those they left behind or ended them, no matter how much they loved or hated each other.

Those who show concern for violent and troubled people only at first are not righteous, but an affront to Death. Humanity's dual arrogance and cowardice are driving God insane.

I learned myself from making this demotivator how to mock someone who thought he could mock me with a 'not' joke. And I finally understood Evangelion, though I probably could have looked it up.

How come STR doesn't reduce the action point cost of heavy melee weapons?

How come INT is so bad of a stat to dump? It doesn't even have an 8 INT feat, let alone one that requires 10.

How come CON maxing still doesn't have its unique fun aspect?

For being main stats, they are sorely contentless
