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! >toby fox plays this game in his childhood
>this game ends up being involuntary responsible for prompting a crazed lunatic to lace cookies with needles and feeds it to an artist they don't like
>the reason was because thry made fucking ship art of sans and the retarded yellow child
moral of the story: dont piss off chronically online internet users whom are able to reach out to you in any shape or form 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 DRH in 2 more weeks. For real this time. Journalist? On fucking post nuclear wasteland?! Fucking seriously? She even looks jewish
What in next fallout, post apo Starbucks and neo-internet?
Hate this plastic fallout shit. It started with third one Can't believe peopled sucked this game off. It's just bland. got a bunch of classic crpgs recently but idk which one I should start with Time to add another skull to the pile of wannabe Gothic-influenced ARPGs? Is the J Sawyer cut of New Vegas worth playing if I've already played vanilla to death? 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. What are your favorite NWN modules? Ignoring nostalgia and Pokemania, what made Pokemon so special/did Pokemon add to the (J)RPG genre? Be objective and take the competive/PvP element into account.
I can only come up with one thing right now but I am sure that there is more:
-Forced socializing/trading to complete the game. (When it first came out the phenomenon of a player having both games/playing alone was the exception, not the rule) 
I've gradually begun to realize that the kind of RPG experiences I enjoy are not the story-driven save-the-world long contiguous narratives, but the ones that let you roam around free and go on your own adventures. Now I don't necessarily mean purely "open world" games like the Elder Scrolls, but I suppose that's not too far off.
I think what really makes the difference is, in the classic older RPGs, there tends to be a hard limit of just how long you can stay out and about. Whether it's food, potions, reagents, spellcasts, games like the older Ultimas and Final Fantasies let you go out on an "adventure" but you eventually have to return to town, stock up, sleep at an inn, and maybe (as the player) power down for the night and have another adventure tomorrow. I'm replaying FF1 for the Nth time and it amazes me that it's actually a perfectly expected strategy to poke into a dungeon, grab a few chests, and run like hell because you aren't yet equipped enough to tackle the whole thing in one go.
It moderates grinding; some people hate grinding in all forms, I don't. But grinding gets boring in easier games, like later JRPGs, when you're just doing the same thing infinitely without risk and never have to really worry about running out of resources. It's that sense of packing everything into an "expedition" and having a home base around some town or village, and eventually moving on to find a new one, that I really enjoy. Later JRPGs tend to be more linear so as not to provide this experience, and TES games tend to be easy enough to just carry on without ever really needing to base/camp up somewhere unless you install some hardcore survivalist mods.
There's a fair amount of classic games to get into that provide this experience, but does this sub-genre even really exist in the modern era at all? While there are a lot of older game design ideas that don't really work anymore, I think this type of freeform, compartmentalized adventuring could still have appeal today. Is Skyrim only hated here because it's popular?
Would it be considered a cult masterpiece like VTMB if it were unpopular? Who did you pick for your final party in the Suikoden remasters? Which is better: Final Fantasy 8, 9, or 10? Everyone complains about FF8's draw system. But nobody talks about Type-0's Phantoma . What did i think about it? How do I improve my jrpg party designs? > armed mercenaries threatening to shoot people in the town square
> you get a +1 on shooting him in the head if you tell him his brother got put in a leaf compactor as a baby
this may actually be the funniest thing i've ever seen in an otherwise serious rpg RealTime with Pause is an objective improvement over Turn-Based combat. The former is equal to or strictly better in every aspect compared to the latter.
>gameplay is faster & more immersive since everyone acts simultaneously instead of just standing still for minutes at a time
>hordes of enemies are made possible without extreme downtime
>introduces the gamplay option of cancelling an action at any time
>streamlines tedious micromanagement if you toggle (often very customizable) AI for characters
Just like D&D or other tabletop systems TB combat in RPGs is simply a legacy system that people refuse to let go off due to either contrarianism, nostalgia or bad taste. Those things were designed to be played by humans throwing dice and using nothing but basic arithmatics. Computers can handle physics, AI, graphics and so much more so why not make full use of it? Rejecting RTwP is like a boomer cavemen rejecting nuclear fusion reactors. I was wondering which of the newer games would run on a shitty laptop
I'm looking at Labyrinth of Zangetsu and Path of the Abyss and they either don't have system requirements or ones that seem way too high for a 2D game
I was also wondering which, if any, of the JP Wizardry games were translated and worth playing. I played Tale of the Forsaken Land recently and enjoyed it a lot
Also general DRPG general I suppose One day into the year of the space snek and this shit happens. What the actual fuck is Styg doing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyv8tOYlum0

Superstition 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? 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. Disco bros .... This does NOT look good for us you may not like it but this is one of the best RPGs ever created What's the /vrpg/dict on this? Finished Skald and looking for something to play, looks neat Why do you hate action RPGs? Now that the dust has settled, is waterfowl dance acceptable? Grow up. In terms of game engines made for RPGs and modding: it doesn't get better than this, baby. I'm playing The Witcher 1 and in the second and third chapter I decided to romance Shani, instead of Triss, for Shani seems more caring with Geralt than Triss, that seems to be very libertine and fucking around just for personal gain. To not mention that she is just taking sexually advantage from him, due to his amnesia. Now she is mad at Geralt. What did you chose to romance during your first run and why? >game is set 2000 years in the future
>capitalism still exists
Shion and co were fighting the wrong enemy, this is the real threat to humanity, the Gnosis can wait Welcome to Ordowald the world that has nearly everything Why do people act like this isn't Bethesda's game with most roleplaying?
In the Crimson Fleet questline alone you can be
>An undercover agent with high persuasion who never kills anybody innocent
>An undercover agent who gets fired and becomes a criminal because he accidentally killed too many people
>A sneaky criminal who uses stealth and goes through vents and hacks terminals
All with their own unique dialogue, universe consequences and post game content (radiant quests to be fair)
Now the setting and writing and characters are all shit, but the roleplaying is there Are you going to put lewd in your game to try to get more players? i like scathach, she has a cool hat 
Aurbis is, as we all know, a wheel: Nirn is the hub, Aedric Earthbones are the spokes, and the empty spaces between the spokes are the realms of Oblivion, and the Aetherius is the rim. And Dreamsleeve... Dreamsleeve is the axle that goes through the center of that wheel. Now, to the subject of CHIM: to achive the power of a lucid dreamer, one must travel outside of the wheel while still alive, and observe it from the side. That's when O becomes an I. And at that moment, a person becomes a CHIMer. However, Dagoth Ur can never do that. He is dead, and will remain dead forever. However, he is still outside of the wheel, and he can still observe it. But he sees neither O or I. He sees only himself. Because to him, he is the only thing that is real, and everything else is just a part of his dream, a part of him
If he succeeded, there would eventually be no more Nirn. Everything and everyone, every man, woman, and child, every animal and creature, every blade of grass and every stone and every drop of water in the ocean, and every breath of the wind. The Nirn would become Dagoth Ur. And if he kept going, he would eventually consume the entire Mundus, the planes of Oblivion, the Dreamsleeve, the Aetherius, and ultimately, the entire Aurbis. When that happened, there would be nothing in Godhead's dream except Dagoth Ur. The entire awareness of the Godhead would be Dagoth Ur. And then, the new Godhead, Dagoth Ur, would awaken, his dream having been
altered too much. And with his awakening, the dream, the only place where he
was real, would vanish. And he would be no more. And with that, the Godhead would die. And there is nobody left to replace him. The dream is gone, and it can never be dreamed again. The true death of the universe.
"Everything is I. And I am Nothing." Is this worth a play? Looks neat, inspired by Morrowind and Gothic apparently

This is exactly what is wrong with modern RPGs. Not even the most horrific dialogue can be treated seriously, everything is just written like a Joss Whedon tv show or a YA novel. I hope everyone dies. It's Monday once again. Time to talk about monster collecting and raising games. What mon games have you been playing? What upcoming mon games are you looking forward to? Man i just got this game a few days ago, it's actually is really fun despite most of the gameplay being running around talking to people or doing puzzles. Especially love the comic-booky artstyle. Currently starting Hollywood. Killed that Gangrel guy.
What was up with that lady who recognizes you? Is she actually a hunter?
Rosa is pretty hot ngl. Which JRPG had the most difficult final boss? How is your RPG Maker game coming along, anons?
Keep posting progress,
else you'll start to regress. What RPGs gave you the most satisfaction from an evil playthrough?
P.S I have played BG3, but haven't done the Dark Urge origin, is it good? BG2 dragons felt like actual challange. Skyrim nerfed them and made it shit cunt suck
Why RPG no hard dragons? Ok i'm asking this in the vain hope that somebody THAT ACTUALLY HAS DONE IT can answer my question:
how do i make a succubus build work?
I currently can afford every skill except except whore of babylon and bloody mess and i can get all the equipment except for some of the piercings and yet i can't seem to be able to bring down a single goblin.
What gives?
Has there been a rebalance in the last update that fucked things up for this build?Do you need to have all the items and skills to make this build work otherwise it just doesn't?
Should i just say fuck it and go for the stealth archer build?
Help a nigga out. how come nobody told me nis games are pure kino? I like fights
Story u medicore but whatever its always this way
But woke characters... Holy shit this is PoE2 all over again. Every character that matters in any wya is trong womam of colout. Thinking about installing anti wokeness mod, i just made it to first tavern ao i can start from beggining if i must
https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/pathfinder-wrath-of-the-righteous-anti-woke-mod.150331/
Lets have Pathfinder thread, it was super cheap like a week ago Manlies elf ever in RPG history
Also its heavily implied he raped these three driada repeatatively while throwing illusion spells on them
He raped Imoen too she tells this to CHARAMBE after releasing her from her cage
I heard hes been rewritten and put in Balding Cucks 3, how bad was it? TES isnonly openly racist video game out there, do you think they gonna censor next part? >combat is nothing more than "press X for AWESOME!!"
>well this sucks, I'll try classic mode
>its not turn based, its literally auto fight.
>the fuck? well at least I'll enjoy exploration and seeing the world
>its tedious mini-games like formation band marching and playing cards
how is this slop even remotely close to being a GOTY? Summon Night is a good series.
Can we get a thread going? 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. I feel like there should be more (j)RPGs I like, but there just aren't.
I just want to play Final Fantasy 1 again forever, but different.
I just want to make my all own party with different build options. No preset characters/drama queen storyline.
I just want simplified "go do the thing" storytelling, no vainglorious writer living out his failed anime director dreams cranking out a novel with miles of dialogue boxes.
I just want resource and equipment management and finding a small but meaningful amount of interesting treasure, no diablo style crap where every piece of gear is 30+ random dice rolls of marginal sidegrade.
There's like almost no games that really fit these requirements in my mind besides Final Fantasy 1, Final Fantasy 3(j), Dragon Quest 3, and the Etrian Odyssey series. Then there's Wizardry and Bard's Tale I guess, and I like the Ultima series though most of them lack much character creation. who is your favorite traveler? So whats the story behind these fat fucks? I never played that mod Even though RF5 was a letdown, does anyone have the next Rune Factory on their radar? The idea of getting hyped for an end of life Switch game seems pretty stupid, but the waifus/husbandos dropped today and the game is coming out in May
https://youtu.be/DDcFzgjVYII?si=HsQrJLVAMO2kleSR Abelard, why is there no Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader thread on the catalogue? The hero of Mira has arrived Is there any similar jrpgs to this?

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist Just started playing this few days ago.
Does it get better? so far it has been boring
The combat is simple and easy to get a grasp on but its not as fun as Wasteland 3 and you can't do a lot of things
You can't interact with the environment in fun ways, all im doing is inspecting what the game allows me to inspect, doing some simple combat and then reading a lot of text.
Speaking of text, i hate it when games dont put time and care to introduce me to the setting and the characters, they just start talking about whats happening like i care, there is also a lot of text my eyes start to hurt from all this reading, why so much text? this is a videogame
U.I is also very unintuitive and feels so clunky to navigate.
The game is not that bad but this was recommended to me as the best cyberpunk rpg of all time, but so far i'm not seeing that, does it get better or its not worth the time? >Dragon Quest I + II HD2D Remake

So all remakes and remasters, makes sense for the end of a console's life cycle, not gonna make anything new when the Switch 2 is coming out. It has lots of issues, but the real killer for me is the inventory. Weapon durability encourages you to keep spares, but you can't carry shit. Lack of descriptions encourages you to experiment, but you can't carry shit. Unique shop inventories encourages you to buy now rather than trek back, but guess what? You can't carry shit!
You always need to drop things for key items, or to buy an upgrade item, a status healing item, or even just see what's in a chest. It was worse because I only had one human (1 Esper/Mutant, 1 Human, 2 Monsters) but it's a terrible system anyway. Bethesda gonna do a remaster plus of it, with all the retcons of Amazon's show.
We will never get the original full vision of it, aren't we? I want to like this game but it SUCKS ASS and is GAY. I really wish it didn't and wasn't. Still would Eloise though. I didn't enjoy Baldur's Gate 3 and I feel that makes me lesser There is no interesting mounts, its either gryphon or fucking dragon like draco plushie. Or a bear/tiger, fuck off its all gay Well, explain to me the good and bad of WRPG and JRPG and which one do you consider superior? Or are they just a novelty because of the overarching worldbuilding? What is the actual quality of these games? Is it just more weeb slop that's being sold as good because JRPG standards are so dogshit? which rpg has the all time best towns? Have you beaten a 200+ hour long campaign before? No open-world slop like TES/Fallout it does not count. Weird how this game just...came and went. We need more low iq protagonists. Sick and tired with marry sues I'm using a pirated RPG Maker MV. I already know how the thing works, and I'm ready to make my first game. I want to name it Dark Triad, but there's this thing known as 'dark triad personality.' On one hand, it sounds pretty cool for the name of my game to mean a combination of three personality traits: narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, but on the other hand, I feel like people will get confused when trying to search up the game (I'll make it free, no worries.) So is it acceptable to name my rpg Dark Triad? Crawl out through the fallout, BABY

What is the Joule Foundation smoking to have a literal teenaged child as a commanding officer? It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games? How do you decide if prosthetics are just as good as normal body parts for mechanical purposes, or basically just cosmetic?
In a setting with magic I mean. 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 STOP WHAT YOURE DOING right now and tell me what is the best ps1 jrpg game I havent played yet. fan translations welcome. strategy rpgs DO NOT count because I hate them.

how bad is it?
because ME3 was quite bad console shit >every WRPG released to this day is just a copy of a game released by this studio
What's the jrpg equivalent? As well as the game plays with emulation and fan-made HD textures, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth that such an iconic entry to the series is being kept on dead hardware what the fuck is merchant day? >Let's make Kingdom Hearts without Final Fantasy and barely any Disney elements
What was Nomura thinking? >main story is 3 objectives with no instructions because they can be completed in numerous ways
>If you fail any of them the story still ends in a conclusive way
>All side content helps you directly or indirectly with the main objectives
This is the perfect rpg formula and they only did it ONCE! Does anyone have a retard-proof strategy for getting through FFT with minimal to no grinding? I always hear this game is a classic, but I've never made it very far because I suck at these types of games. Like what OP jobs/skill/spell combos should I be looking at? First time playing Chrono Trigger
What to expect? I hate this shit more than you can imagine. Don't get me wrong... I love BG1 and think it's one of the best RPGs ever, but this xpac is complete bullshit (except for Durlag's Tower).
Werewolf Island and this damn Ice Isle look like shit and are boring as hell. It’s literally Beamdog-tier garbage. >lore hints for ages that the setting is actually earth but in the far, far future, after armageddon
>suddenly pulls back from that
>it's just some bullshit fantasy world
this was the biggest disappointment of this game, other than the combat systems and the fact you needed to know exactly how to build your character to get anywhere Are we enjoying the new Madoka rpg Exedra vrpg? >combat is shit
>long ass walking segments to expand play time
>Sephiroth just shows up for no fucking reason
>the timeline change shit is retarded
>I fucking hate this game Isn't funny how town npcs actually are the most dificult to write thing in 2D JRPG because you basically need to have strong history, fairy tales, mythology skills to properly write the backstory of the world which the npcs would give you hints to things like the relationship and history of the towns between each other.
But there's not a single JRPG writer or even WRPG that can properly wrtie the npc towns? Which would you say had the stronger RPG library? DS/3DS or PSP/Vita? Assume you could only play one handheld or the other. This is the most boring game ever. It's not even an RPG. Releases on PS5, Xbox Series X, Steam, (and hopefully Switch 2) in 2025.
WE ARE FUCKING BACK, DIGIBROS!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npVx8cNyDe4 So what are you thinking will it flop or will it turn out good?
In my opinion the no quest thing makes it so that it will need to be feature heavy to make up for it and to allow the player to make the story himself. But this time I want to talk about industry trends and likely inspirations to speculate on the unexplained.
The most influential being the side scrolling game "R-Type" from the 80s and 90s. And really, where did the concept for the enemy "Bydo" originate from. What are some RPGs where you can marry and reproduce? UNDEREVENT wasn't too long ago. Were there any games that caught your eye? Do you think any of them release before the new Chapters?
Are you developing a fangame? Post progress! >Science fiction, horror dungeon crawling game
>It has mixed reviews because micromanagement is too much
>More faithful than most modern day DRPG
>It's actually good
I don't think there's nothing wrong with this game. It's quite challenging. Probably just as hard to OG Wizardry games. Why is FPS/RPG such an unpopular hybrid? It combines FPS which is very popular and RPG which is also popular. >the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau have returned
>OMG no way the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau have returned?
>the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau are a bad deal
>we must figure out what the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau

>so what's our fist step at getting rid of the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau
>the first step at getting rid of the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau is to ask the Dread Wolf, who imprisoned the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau, only he would know how to stop the elven gods Elgay'now and Gag'genau once and for all OK its time to resolve this once and for all.
who won? Ultima or Wizardry?
state your reasoning and thus shall you be judged. What is the /vrpg/ consensus on Digimon World 1? Unpolished gem to me, a highly unique art style and immersive world with it biggest flaw being that the evolution mechanics are too hard to understand for the target demographic (6-10 yo boys) making the criticism of it being a Numemon simulator fair enough. Pokemon was easy to understand for the same target demographic and gave rightful way to more success but I want to talk about the uniqueness/magic of DW1 here. No other DW game and not even any Pokemon game has this kind of magical element that I can not describe properly. The worldbuilding art style is way more detailed/quirky/diverse/even raw than other DW games and Pokemons worldbuilding art style is very minimalistic (Pokemon has more diverse monster designs). What is the Digimon World that COULD HAVE BEEN, if only they cleaned up the evolution/shitting mechanics, to you? Is gemrb the most convenient to play non-EE Baldur's Gate?
Anyone tested it? With the leak/speculation/fake news about a new Persona 4 remaster, what's the best order to play 3-4-5 in their most modern versions for a newcomer? I'm interested to see answers from a gameplay mechanics perspective, as i've read that p3r builds upon p5r. Of course we know nothing about the potential p4(r) but I was thinking the current best order might be p4g-p5r-p3r? Or is the gameplay evolution overrated and one should just play 3-4-5 regardless of versions? KNOW THIS, /VRPG/. *NOTHING* MAY CHANGE THE NATURE OF A BOARD. Just finished the main story. 100 more quests to go. People say it's not as good as FFT but I like it. Very comfy. Anyone else ever play it? Beat Strange Journey the other day: neutral ending, 96h in. That's it. Why do all RPG's focus on combatslop instead of actual roleplaying? I want to play a role-playing game, yet there is nothing on the market and I don't want to replay Arcanum for the 7th time I want more RPgS with broken physics like Morrowind Oblivion has no problems that don't exist in skyrim and morrowind, The real reason it's considered the worst of the trio is the lack of mods how come there are so few dystopian post-apocalyptic spooky jprgs? look outside is the only one i can think of and it just dropped Is this what FF7 legacy has turned into? Anyone played this? What's the verdict? This is what fallout was originally really about, not this quirky faggy californian doo doo in fallout 3, maybe Atomfall will be better what stats do you like/should ad in a rpg? Uhm, im not very good at that nu Fallouts and shit but is this armour actually lore appropriate lore wise? Now i know theres only two kinds of power armours but since its been sold out to Todd, i dont understand why people got so upset about this. its NEW vegas after all >made crpg a normie genre
heh nothing personal /vrpg/ A Persona 4 remake appears to be in development and could be announced soon. About 10 hours into this game and holy shit the writing is SO FUCKING BAD.
Are Trails fans actually glue eating retards? Why do they NEED to explain EVERY SINGLE THING in this game?
Can the writers please stop insulting my intelligence and let me use context and inference to not need everything spelled out to me? >finally get to Qintarra
>Raven isn't there
>get softlocked
Bravo Tim >Morally grey characters who do actions that cause debate? Whats that!?
>Complexity in characters? Uhhh?
>Loghain was just controlled by the Organization XIII Akatsuki Illuminati silly! So I am playing pick after a long time.
For a while I read starting as a Warlock was the best option so I went for it.
I can only hire 3 troops as one which is similar to any mage but now I class changed and I am still only able to hire 3 troops as a mounted class!
Will the next class change increase my unit hiring count count or I am forever stuck at 3?
Should I restart? I can't stand the Obsidian writing bloat holy shit it's so bad. The pretentious five dollar words, lore dumps, awful dialogue... Maybe a decent game was hidden beneath all of that (With many different choices and paths...) but I just couldn't get into it.
It reeked of something written by a pretentious failed writer who thinks that his twitter posts have an impact on the society or something. I rarely drop games without finishing them but man, Tyranny is actually unplayable. The world and the setting just completely failed to pull me in. It's my fault for giving an Obsidian game a chance, honestly. I should know better.
