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

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)

200+ IQ villains thread

dem_662dec41c9b95

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.

Just here being a franchise that will never be good again, don't mind me.
Also fuck SFC forums.

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?

After over 20+ years, how is Morrowind still so fucking good?

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.

How can I improve my RPG make game? I decided to continue working on my game after a two years hiatus. Now I want to turn it into a proper rpg. How can I achieve that?

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 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.

>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.

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.

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.

That's it, it can be any sub genre like CRPG, ARPG, Souslike or anything else. Just recently finish Cybercunt 2077 and whilst I enjoyed the story the main quests felt very rushed and the level scaling was noticeable and left a sour taste in my mouth.

Old.vs new

Why is that people will give 10/10 to bottom-2 games but 8/10 to top-2 and a shit load of reasons why they are not perfect, when they are clearly superior games in every way.
When judging something you do it by comparing it to many things, INCLUDING games and graphics of its era, not ONLY that, imagine if Zelda totk and bg3 were released at the same time as the other 2, OR the other 2 were released today and you had to compare them back in the day and also compare then nowadays in a vacuum, isolated from time period and other games from the same timeline and graphics. The score for the games would be obviously completely different.
Bottom-2 games would never get better scores if they were released today and top-2 would never get worse scores if they were released back then, which means any top-x games list anywhere online and any top-x favorite games from anyone here are hot garbage, because people DONT JUDGE THEM OBJECTIVELY, instead weighting in them on a bunch of crap criteria in their heads, be it nostalgia or how much fun they have playing it, thus using the old "two measurements, two sentences".

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.

>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.

>NCR's capital nuke 4 years before New Vegas
>NCR remnants destroyed in last episode (based, fuck taxes)
>The Blassed (Based + Blessed) Enclave still alive
>according to Todd 'Kino-Troll' Howard all this is canon
New Vegas officially decanonised, can't wait for its remaster plus

>trash everywhere, even in the inhabited places
>ruin houses, even the ones with alive people in
>skeletons everywhere, even in places with alive people
Total Bethesda Win.

How this make you feel, Falloutbros?

Why does Ryza talk like an ESL? Is she retarded?

Why do JRPG's lack artistic merit, and are incapable of compelling or interesting environments?

Todd is so petty lol.

Was indoctrination theory true?

4A4607CD-498E-4F97-9275-6F16F8CBB338

So much evidence led us to believe it was. I read some anon on here say indoctrination theory was true and that bioware meant to leave it open to interpretation to drive discussion of the game. I wonder if that anon is still posting on this board. He seemed very knowledgeable on mass effect.

Its fucking absurd how woke Fallout 1 and 2 are, and yet nobody calls them out for it.

I heard a schizo theory a very long time ago that every Final Fantasy is actually meant to be satirical, and since then it's stuck with me so much that I can't help but feel like there's some truth to it. Please tell me I'm not alone here.

dreamweb_box_grande

I'd love to play something in similar vein to this game but with actual character building options. What are my choices?

With how many indie Fallout clones there are, we need an indie Arcanum successor. Or at least some TC mods.

Jesus appeared in the next Final Fantasy.
As a character...or a summon...use your imagination. They already adapt mythology, like Odin. Why not Christ?

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.

What is the difference between "Quality of Life improvements" and casualisation? Are they one and the same? Maybe QoL is when something is made more convenient without changing the difficulty, like letting you fast travel, but casualisation is when it makes it easier, like letting you save anywhere, like SMT SJ Redux?

Is this good menu design? I honestly think they're trying too hard to surpass P5.

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?

Dragon Age 2 is not only one of the worst RPGs in the world, but also one of the worst video games in the world.

Which game has a better story?

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

Megaton Musashi Wired has released on PS5 and releases on PC in 1 hour. Reactions so far are overwhelmingly positive.
>How is this an JRPG?
The game has a 2.5d overworld that the player freely explores in between battles, in which you use a giant mecha that can be customized and leveled over time.

Just thought people would like to know.

I recently finished this game and wanted to talk about it. I thought the combo system was neat, and everyone sharing a single mana pool for casting adds a nice amount of depth to the combat. I also really like the way gems and OOParts allow for a wide variety of builds.
Anyway, what's your favorite route and why? For me it's Janice's ~~because of the epic battle against the Self-Eaters at the end. God bless those brave meatshield decoys.~~

To me for RPG to be truly RPG it's essential to have options. Most importantly, that I don't must kill and loot graves and dead enemies to progress and have decent gear.
It makes no sense to be "good" character while living the_life of a mercenary. Or to be highly intelligent or charismatic while resorting to violence on every dispute.
BG's are a fun games for sure but not great RPG's.
Thoughts on this and recommendation?

Why is Japan unable to make true RPGs

jrpg vs wrpg

Why are there never multiple (actual, non-cosmetic) choice dialogues in JRPGs?
Why are there never any social skills in JRPGs?
Why are there (almost) no non-fetch quests, with investigations or multiple endings, involving skill-checks?
Why is there never any emerging gameplay in JRPGs?
Why are we always on rails filled to the brim with exposition in JRPGs?
Why are Japanese developers such bad writers, and why do they write their dialogues/stories/stagings so badly?
