/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/.

For games like Ultima, Might and Magic, Gold Box stuff, etc. what's the best title for someone who hasn't played older CRPGs?

I tried Might and Magic III and it's not super brutal but still overwhelming as I'm not used to games in this style/from this particular era (specifically looking for something from the early 90s. I suppose; not incredibly retro but certainly not from the genre's beginnings).

I'd say it's more like a much smaller, fully-turn-based, pixel art Baldur's Gate. Black Isle lifted a lot of stuff from Dark Sun to implement in their game.
>>
>>3473363
Warriors of the Eternal Sun has a blend of top down and first person grid. It's for the Genesis/Megadrive so you'll need to emulate but I think it's worth it, it's also an early Westwood RPG with interesting vibes.

Usually in these games you want ranged weapons on everyone. But it's not like that isn't also the case in the Infinity Engine games too.

It's so retarded that the same backer dies like 5 times in the same battle. They really haven't spend a single minute thinking about a single thing in this game.

God, that long winded animation to roll this backer log is one of the stupidest things in the game.
The war battles are in generally awful.

They were never amazing in suikoden, but you could be optimal and they were snappy with far less interference

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

Risenholm was always doomed due to a flawed design based on dumb untested forum mechanics theorizing. It unironically copied the joke about D&D 6e dumbing the game down to the same mechanics for everything just different descriptions. It turns out that everything being the same doesn't make for a fun RPG. Balancetards will never learn.

I'm playing the Nether Scrolls bridge module between SoU and HotU. Currently at the Ligth ans Shadow quest, I'm supposed to recover a reluc for tge Amaunator followers but the reluc is nowhere to be found.

I wonder how TDN is going to fare considering the developers are cracking down on powergaming and magic especially.
>>
>>3475763
It doesn't matter. As long as their system is fun and interesting it should do well. If they're dumb and too heavy handed every imbecile will figure out the one or two good options or only viable option. Many servers also address powergaming by shifting the meta, requiring certain levels in classes or capping the enchant bonus on weapons. It never solves anything and sometimes just makes it worse. All that really matters is if it is at least slightly fun and interesting after they mess around with the mechanics.

Is there something I'm missing when it comes to FF8 fags? because they seem to love everything about the game, except for what actually happens in the game.
>>
>>3475569
>Is there something I'm missing when it comes to FF8 fags?
Not really, it stems from an interview with Kitase.

FF8 is quite nuanced in its storytelling. A good example being 90% of players didn't realize the 'interference from space' was Adel even though it's practically spelt out on the big screen during the Timber mission. The problem is if you don't like the game you're not going to give it your full attention and you're going to miss these subtleties, even if you do like the game you're going to miss some of them. So while there's plenty of content to imply R=U, most players will miss it the first time round.

When Kitase was put on the spot and said "no, that's not true" haters jumped on it and used it as ammo to debunk R=U. The irony being that Kitase himself retracted that statement and said that it's very possible and wouldn't be unusual if the other two writers who wrote the script had that in mind. So R=U exists in a funny place where there's a strong possibility it's true but it hasn't been confirmed. Kinda like how Laguna is Squalls father, nowhere in the game is it confirmed, only implied.
>>
>>3475777
I should probably add that there's still plenty of people who use Kitase's "No, that's not true" line to try debunk R=U even after he publicly retracted the statement. If you ever see it used the person is usually arguing in bad faith and can safely be ignored.

How the hell do you beat the dark aeons? Do the sphere grids even have enough stats for you to survive one or two of their attacks? I have everyone's celestial weapon except Tidus, and Dark Bahamut is blocking the way. Also Dark Valefor is blocking the last primer and jecht sphere I need. What is the best order to do Omega Ruins, Monster Arena, and Dark Aeons? I beat a few arena bosses mainly by spamming overdrive aeons. I read about a trick to farm AP from a tonberry, what's a good point to do that without making the rest of the game too easy?

Are we basing our ideas off the Interplay social experiements for a colony ship or the Bethesda we're just corpos testing out different management/consumer engineering strategies?

The first one.
>>
>>3475728
A vault that is actually going to keep people alive so they can rebuild an economy in the future so VaultTec has somewhere to put into practice all the experiments they did turning people into dogs or giving them AIDS or whatever the fuck.
The Vaults all having some secret mission that massively compromised their primary purpose degrades the setting as a whole.
>>
>>3475728
I have a hard time taking the vaults serious since it appears vault tec decided 95% of the vaults are to be made to kill and destroy the last few survivors of the world. odd choices and thus the games are massively flawed. but thats not getting into the tons of people above ground that survived and thrived. its just a wacky setting with zany wacky nuke guns and other wacky zany things. taking it serious is a bad idea especially when you look at and breakdown the world the vaults and the excess amount of people above ground. badly designed all around. 4/10 series needs to stop being wacky zany reddit faggot tier
>>
>>3475764
The plan was never to reinhabit the post-nuclear wasteland, the colony ship can only crew ~1000 people the vaults purpose was to test all the various things that could go wrong during the centuries long trip to the nearest habitable world. So all the vaults and their inhabitants are expendable test subjects.
