/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/.

Is DOS2 an improvement over DOS1? Why does the dialogue make me feel like I'm on Gaia Online? Do summons trivialize the game as bad as they did in the original? Let's find out.

But we can all agree that some of the writing in it is really goddamn bad, right?

Every CRPG dev studio is inhabited by 40+ year old boomers who lived in the 90s TTRPG era where monty python jokes were the height of comedy. I honestly just tune out the shitty references in any RPG by this point.

Most of my money is in escrow for Dragon's Dogma 2, but I picked up Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children. Was 66% off, looks like XCOM 2 but made by Korean hyper-autists who built entire gameplay loops around single classes. Also snagged LIGHT: Black Cat & Amnesia Girl, mostly because I'm desperate for even a fraction of the joy I felt pushing pots off of roofs in Stray.

>>3425651
Oh man if you hate it already, you're really gonna hate it by the end. Ends super abruptly, just fucking rushes the final encounter straight to you. One minute you'll be thinking 'shit maybe this is getting good?' and then the Sorrow bursts in through the windows, and I mean LITERALLY BURSTS THROUGH THE WINDOWS, boom final boss encounter sequence!

>>3423881
I'll enjoy having money and spending it on things one can actually grasp while you waste it on a license to play (not even own) a game that exists in infinite amounts like the cuck you are.

rpg's for this feel? specifically the style of kf2(jp) and kf4. first person dungeon crawling metroidvanias with lots of routing options. i have played all the old from softies and a lot of newer imitation games on steam, but i am having those vidya pregnancy cravings for something in that vein. i dont mind if it is new or old as long as it is emulatable if on a console.

Anon, kings field is just a dungeon crawler for retards with surreal aesthetics. If you want to huff your own farts while playing a game for complete morons just pick any ps1 jrpg at random. They are all the same.

I would like some more games like King's Field as well. Have you played 1, 3, or Pilot Style yet? There's Shadow Tower and Shadow Tower Abyss as well, also Fromsoft titles. Some people might recommend Eternal Ring but outside of running at 60 FPS, I found it to be kinda weak, especially its level design.

RIP.

Most folks here would probably only know her from Tales vidya, but her style as an illustrator unironically pioneered and created the foundation that would lead to the more contemporary bishounen/bishoujo designs for 2D characters. She just had a knack for making everyone look so pretty.

Isn't it funny how the evil Twink is the best romance in every cyoa game that has one? So much so that people even go as far as to celebrate whenever the author lets you make them female.

>Fantasy Copper here. Been a while. Ironically I was in Jail.
Has that experience affected what will be in the WIP/Final game?
>>
>>3425969
The only thing this experience had altered is that I will be putting some sections in where you have to appear in court if you take a suspect alive. I have some experience of that now.

I was in jail due to a DUI and subsequent Probation Violation. Very stupid shit but I had some connections so it wasnt an unpleasant stay.

The overall tone of the story is relatively light. Immortals are goofy eccentrics when they aren't murderous, the city coroner is a magically reanimated corpse you can bang, the entire department is filled with characters who are direct references to the piles of detective fiction I have consumed over the years. As much as I list True Detective and LA Noire as influences I am not really capable of being that self serious.

Looking for an RPG recommendation as I've squeezed all of the dopamine out of my current library. Please suggest me an intricate puzzle to while away the uncountable hours and distract me from the mundane horrors of the fleshworld. Nothing can hit every note, of course, but in general I'm looking for:

Pathfinder: Kingmaker/Wrath, Caves of Qud, FFT
>Class Swapping/Party Building
FFV, FFT, FFXII, Tactics Ogre, Crystal Project

Rimworld, Pathfinder: Kingmaker/Wrath

Minecraft (lol), Rimworld

Elder Scrolls, Caves of Qud, Minecraft
>Procedural Dungeon Gen
Stone Soup Dungeon Crawl, Caves of Qud
>Dev Mode/Creative/Debug/Dungeon Master level control of game

I'm not usually so shallow about it, but the graphics are really killing me on this series. It just looks so doofy and generic, even though I realize it probably set a lot of the tropes.

Dunning Kruger is where you think you're better at something than more successful and skilled people. I think you mean I sound like I have autism (true).

I like high optimization in my TTRPGs, so this sounds great. I'm wondering how closely it sticks to 3.5e of the dragon game, and how many exploits they closed.

I have it in my steam library, but I didn't play much of it. I got through a few dungeons and there wasn't really anything that hooked me in.

>Dunning Kruger is where you think you're better at something than more successful and skilled people
Most people misuse the term, like the person you're responding to. Dunning-Kruger found that most people are incapable of accurately judging their own performance, in either direction. The first quartile tended to drastically overstate their competency, the second quartile tended to moderately overstate, the third quartile tended to more-or-less accurately describe their competency, and the fourth quartile actually tended to slightly underestimate their performance.
>>
>>3425911
Implying other people can measure performance objectively.

I am not covetous for Elden Slop DLC,
Nor care I who doth get filtered by DD1;
It yearns me not zoomoids my thread bump;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:

But if it be a sin to covet Dragon’s Dogma 2,
I am the most offending soul alive.

No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from Gransys:
Arisen’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more, methinks, would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made
And crowns for refund put into his purse:
We would not partake of kino in that man’s company
That fears his fellowship to partake of kino with us.
