>>2810 Found you, finally Remember to spread propaganda in /v/, this board has only 200 users vs 9000, so most of our lads are over there

>>2810 Planescape is so damn good bros It all just unfolds so well, all the weirdos you run into with their interlocking problems. It does the amnesia thing so well. And it's not wordy at all, not by modern standards. >Thread Task A sentient fruit cake (Fighter class)

I guess this is the refugee thread for 4chan? I miss it and my /crpgg/ bros and hope it comes back soon.

>>2990 Seems like it, let’s get it started. >>2887 Isn’t that just Daeran?

>>2867 why not just put this thread on /v/?

>>3067 Tradition. And /vg/ is visible on the home page, so refugees will see it. In other news, I've been trying to get into Book of Hours and I can't make head nor tail of it.

I missed you guys :( What crpgs have you guys been playing while we're down? I finally finished my pillars potd playthrough. I killed all the dragons and archmages, the final fight with two dragons and llengrath was kino. Not sure if I want to go straight into deadfire, Last time I got super burnt out trying to do both games in a row. Also I wish we could upload multiple images on 4chan, this is awesome.

>>3067 I checked out the crpg thread on /v/ Currently there is "who will cuck whom in the new owlkek DLC" posting going on

>>3310 They're talking about what they like and don't like about RT and buff based combat. Stop lying.

>>3320 yeah they've moved on now, when I looked it was this

>>3275 I haven't been playing any, I've been busy, but I'm looking to jump back into Deadfire this week. I was planning on continuing my screen-shot playthrough for deadfire and share my first impressions, but this thread is so slow I think I should abstain. I would literally drown out everything else.

>>3275 I notice that you didn't use a Wizard for Llengrath. What was your strategy for beating the fight? I relied 100% on my wizard for this fight myself so I have no clue.

>>3342 4chan should be back in an eon or two so you should be able to narrate your playthrough sooner or later

>>3349 If 4chan is back within Wednesday I'll hold off on it entirely. If it takes longer I will post a select few screenshots I think.

>>3067 Because we are already shitting it up with enough generals as is Look at it, it's unusable if you are not a generalfag

>>3348 I started the fight with a shit ton of summons to meat shield for me while I stacked buffs on everyone. I put points into lore on most of my party so everyone could cast stuff like protection from fear while durance was free to cast the big buffs. Then I had kana tank the left dragon while the rest of the party ganged up on with the other. I had Zahua and Greiving mother knocking it prone so it went down pretty quickly. After that it was mostly just clean up. Though I did have kana nearly perma die at the end which gave me a heart attack. It was a super fun fight. Pillars is at its best in these hard fights where you have to use every tool you've got to survive imo.

>>3363 Ah, makes sense I don't mean to backseat, but I wonder if there might be an easier way with the drakes with your comp. One of the drakes is weak to dominate and the other is weak to charm. The drake that is weak to dominate can be hit by petrify, and is thus easiest to kill. I think it should be possible to straight up charm or dominate the drakes with grieving mother If you boosted GM perception with champions boon, equipment, and buffs and used a scroll of accuracy on top she should be able to hit right away, iirc. Whispers of treason is good and has a longer range than puppet master, but a shorter cooldown. So grazing puppet master would be better. However, since the charmable drake is immune to petrify you are better of targeting it and having Hiravias target the other with Earth Talon, if you can hit it. This way you either disable a drake right away and possibly kill the other while it's charmed.

>>3379 And dragons are beasts if I remember correctly so you can take the accuracy against beast types for further accuracy boosts, I think all this stacks. And since drakes are beasts the druid level 1 spell "charm beasts" should work, I think. I didn't really use druids myself during my playthrough, but I don't see why not.

>>3379 Good point. I think what happened was I saw once of them was immune to domination and then just assumed they both would be immune. I can't really remember since I did the fight a couple days ago but I think my chance to petrify was really low so thats why I didn't go for it. >>3381 I forgot to use the rest bonus but kana has a song that gives 20 accuracy to beasts so that was a big help.

>>3437 >I think my chance to petrify was really low You are probably right. I think I only barely grazed it myself. And it makes sense you didn't see that one wasn't immune, the list of immunities is so long it can be hard to see what you can hit them with. I didn't know chanters had a song with that effect, that seems really convenient actually. 20 accuracy is crazy.

>>3310 >cuckniggers can't help but shit up altchans too

Okay, I got off the boat. Well, I crashed it, but the details are not important I tried fighting the pirates. It seems I won after 1 hit. How that works I don't know, since I didn't give them more than a bruise. The journey is now underway for real.

It seems endurance is gone. It is also cool to actually be able to talk to Vela It's nice to have everything voice-acted as well

Clicking things feels noticably harder due to how the camera moves. I'll probably have to change settings. The enemies in the first cave are also brutal. My accurate is actual dogwater and they are quite tanky. It seems hard to kite them towards you. I wonder if you are supposed to come back later or stealth around them I kinda wanna force it since you seem to have infinite health here.

>>4493 Baiting out 1 and 1 enemy is nearly impossible. In return it's pretty easy to drag out enemies across the entire map and attack them with ranged attacks The only problem is of course losing out on per encounter resources and hp from combat ending. The combat seems quite laggy My cipher frequently bugs out when attacking using ranged attacks and I have to move them for them to be able to attack again. That is a pretty big issue honestly, I'm playing with rtwp btw

I've been posting too much so I'll avoid making too many posts from now on In a way that is how this game presents it's dialogue. Pillars 1 was more like this post and Deadfire is more like more string of posts this thread, short digestible tweet-sized chunks. Not sure what to think about that. I made it past the first area. Combat seems to be different, it's no longer resource based for one thing. Otherwise it seems to be the same, besides weapon modals and power levels (I do not understand this yet) The artstyle change is quite noticeable. The modals look good, but I prefer the old hand-drawn maps to these new rendered ones, and I am running everything at max graphics. The movement of the first game felt a bit awkward, with no option to center your camera when its lost and jittery movement. However, I would not say the movement here feels better. It feels like there is inertia every time you move. Voice acting is nice, but I feel like it's a waste when you have to read a lot of descriptive text anyway. It's hard to concentrate until the voice acting is over. Not being able to scroll up and down the text log is a pain, I don't get why they made it like they did. Xoti's accent is weird too, not what I would expect from someone of her... visage

>>2810 Took you long enough, dorks

>>4540 This general is extremely slow because everyone is making generals on fucking /v/

>>4501 No by all means keep posting This general is in its primordial stages so the more posts the better Here's Wenduag to encourage you >>4558 If it turns out that 8/v/ can support a crpg general, so be it. But at least we can try this one out and see what happens.

>>4574 We have had CRPG threads in the past. I basically blogposted finishing WOTR.

There being a companion approval system is an unwelcome change I guess there was one in the original too that determined which ending they got, but it annoys me whenever it flashes on screen I've been looking at Xoti's subclass and this ability here seems fucking crazy. Like hello? Am I seeing this right or is this just a nuke? The rest of the Gaun spells seem meh though, I never used their equivalents in the first game but we will see

I wanna smooch her.

I must say I couldn't be happier that I chose to play as a death godlike cipher with a background from Old Valia I only knew the Death Godlike fit my role as a watcher before creating my character. And yet he ended up fitting perfectly in every way for both games Leveling in this game is crazy fast I am already level 4 within a couple of quests I hope you can't piss companions off so much they leave because I am about to give Xoti a beatdown here by criticising Eothas. Your "god" ate their soul, they are gone. Deal with it *puts on fedora*

This digsite area is pure assrape Man its hard to aggro enemies in smaller group. And in my infinite ignorance I didnt take stealth because I thought combat would be doable. It probably is if you use consumables, power levels, and adventurers with a perfect main character But with my set-up? Hell no lmao Not sure what I am supposed to do, I am too stubborn to leave the area

Apparantly Beamdog updated NWN with visible spell AoE. Grease coin reaches Pathfinder's levels.

YES OF COURSE THE FUCKING SKELETONS ARE IMMUNE TO PIERCE SO YOU HAVE TO GO IN MELEE AND HAVE THEM FOCUS YOUR SQUSHIES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KITE ENEMIES OUT GET FUCKING LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT FUCKING GAMEPLAY ITS SOOOO FUN HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YES I WILL GO HIRE THE MERCENARY GAME MAJORILY OUTPLAYED JUST GO BACK TO TOWN BRO WASTE YOUR TIME BRO

>>4765 >Camellia's scene in A Dance with Masks where she's hesitating to stab you. She so very much wants to kill you.

Say hello to C.F (short for Chanter Fodder), my level 3 chanter mercenary that is somehow better than the rest of my party combined. She isnt actually that good of a tank, even with wilting wind and 17 resolve, and a shield, but her summons sure do come in handy.

This ship overworld travel feels weird. There doesn't seem to be much to find? It honestly doesn't feel worth exploring. Not until I have more cash and a better ship at least. On an unrelated note this honestly feels like a dating sim with how every other line you have with Xoti is flirty.

If you don't want to hear my opinion then don't summon me You drag me into a conversation while trying to keep me in the dark and spiting me for my words. Really, what is the point?

>>4765 Something something baneposting reverberate

What are good single-character RPGs that aren't Diablo-likes, Fallout or Underrail?

>>23314 Age of Decadence, Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Quest for Glory series, Kingdom Come Deliverance 1, and Gothic 1 and 2.

I don't mind a bit of pandering or romance, but there are limits game

>>23391 >"I...I'm not jealous or anything haha" >She bites at her bottom lip, but says no more How do you write shit like this with a straight face

>>23442 They don't, they're trolling chud gamers

Neketaka is everything Defiance Bay wishes it was Holy shit this place is huge, it's jampacked too

>>4816 Some more random stuff. By the end of the game I had 121 AC. I heard with Trickster you could bump that up to 150 somehow, so I got close.

>>23699 I've never seen those ending slides, are they from some mod?

>>24132 Expanded Epilogue. Finding the Doom Helmet in the abyss for example is enough to trigger that one. Every character, item and location gets some form of resolution. It even expands A Dance with Mask characters with Razmir here. I had a Trickster sell him a book on Mythic Power https://www.nexusmods.com/pathfinderwrathoftherighteous/mods/545

>>23314 Look into NWN1 and it's modules. Every single one of them is single character only.

Game I can't take anything seriously when Xoti is autistically playing with her lantern in the background of every scene.

I love being a good person (in videogames) bros, it's so wholesome to help people for no charge.

Why are there Vithraks at the pub?

Chanters are sooo strong in this game it's crazy Being able to summon in at the start of combat is a game changer. Just summon in drakes and you'll have enough chants to recast your summons by the time they expire. They are super useful for blocking your enemies, drawing debuffs, and they can even kill characters on their own if let to their own devices long enough. And the chanters regular gimmick of blocking the way and buffing everyone still works, its so fantastic. I am able to comfortably, if slowly, getting through higher level encounters. Combat lasts forever in general. You know something is wrong when Xoti's 100+ damage attacks only barely scratch the healthbar of a single enemy.

>>24948 >>24948 I know and it's so easy You just click on the Good Person option which is prepared for you Much easier than real life

Did I accidentally boot up a Larian game?

>oh bro the quest is just one level above you :) YEAH BUT THE ENEMY HAS 20+ DR IN EVERY STAT AND SO I DEAL NEGATIVE DAMAGE WHILE TAKING A COOL 70 A HIT HIS ONLY WEAKNESS IS REFLEX AND I BARELY HAVE ANY REFLEX TARGETING ABILITIES FUCK OFF WITH THIS AMBUSH DESIGN

>>25457 PS:T used the kind of humor occasionally too. Personally I like it in moderation

EPIC FUCKING MOMENTS LIKE THIS AFTER A NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE BOSSFIGHT REALLY MAKES ME ENJOY THE GAME I WILL BE SURE TO RECOMMEND IT TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY

>>25800 >>25731 >I BARELY HAVE ANY REFLEX TARGETING ABILITIES >*gets his shit pushed in* There's your reactivity

>>25812 I do have slicken though and it procs several times. It saved me here. Prone feels a lot weaker in this game, but slicken is just as good for that reason. Fireballs and damage spells with reflex saves like shocking seal just dont make a difference in his hp bar even at max damage. His deflection is no joke, but the real problem is his dr.. Weapon modals helped me actually deal damage, but he still hits hard enough to make it hard to last long enough to kill him. I guess I learnt how good 2 dr really can be. It's a good lesson in game mechanics, and the importance of spreading your spells out. I stocked up on will and fortitude and paid for it. But it is a bit annoying to throw you into an inescapable realm before challenging you with something like this.

What on Earth is this contraption?

Game, how am I supposed to cough up 60k gold for a single weapon upgrade?

>>4816 Aww I very much love my gf that will inevitably leave me because she will rip my throat out if she doesn't

Yeah melee ciphers dont feel useful on deadfire My 10 con rogue has more hp, I dont have deflection, my spells are weaker than last game I dont see it.

Now rogues, that is a class Distract enemies when flanked? Flanked enemies take sneak attack damage? Sure, sign me up. And they actually have tools to escape unlike ciphers

Get rid of this cancer fucking ship combat No I DONT HAVE A GOOD SHIP THAT CAN FIGHT AND I DONT WANT TO SPEND 10 MINUTES ON THIS BORING SHIT WHO THE FUCK WANTED THIS? REMOVE IT REMOVE IT REMOVE IT I JUST GIVE UP SO I CAN RELOAD IT AND AVOID THE FIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE OH MY FUCKING GOD ITS SO FUCKING AIDS

>>31981 FUCK ME ITS COMING https://steamcommunity.com/games/2186680/announcements/detail/523089487392145674?snr=2___

4CHAN IS BACK RETURN HOME BROTHERS

>>31981 >>35652 Spoke it into existence, crazy work

>>25926 You use that to take the pet stats you need and combine them with the pet aesthetics you want. First use nets you an achievement and thus increases the amount of points you have to spend on Berath's Blessings.

>>2810 There are so few good CRPGs, and I wish people didn't think that CRPGs can only be isometric or top-down.
