I want to play one of those "Choose your own Story" games like Torment, or Planescape, but I want it to be turn based combat.

Tyranny is real time with pause, and a little bit more combat heavy, but there's still a heavy focus on choice and dialogue. If you liked the new Torment, you'll probably enjoy it. Also, the Banner Saga 1 and 2. For pure choose your own story games, 80 Days and The Curious Expedition are really cool.

I have a few semi-related requests. Back in the day I loved Baldur's Gate I & II, specifically for the Mage playstyle of having loads of different spells to choose from, sequencers, timestop etc. It turned a fight into a magical chess match at the start. Pillar's of Eternity didn't scratch this itch for me even though its a fine game. Is there anything else out there like that? (Also David Warner's voice acting in BG2 was incredible). Sticking with Pillars (and I probably should take this to its thread) but I fell off it after about 10-12 hours specifically because I didn't like its magic system. Should I give it another go with a different class? I am less inclined now to insist on playing a mage-style. Finally, I have dabbled in and out with Skyrim over the years and might be tempted to go back. Again, I think the reason why it didn't stick with me is because of its magic system. But in general, has Skyrim aged ok and should I go to its thread to find out more about mods etc or would I better looking into Witcher 3 these days?

There are a lot of mods that change magic in Skyrim, but I think it's mostly along the lines of adding new spells or rebalancing existing ones - I don't know if anything fundamentally changes how the magic system itself works. As for the other requests, I liked the magic in Dragon Age: Origins. There isn't a huge variety in spells but there are some special synergies you can set up, and on the default difficulty setting friendly fire exists for magic so there's a lot of tactical positioning involved to make the most out of your AoE attacks. I haven't played it, but I have read that Divinity: Original Sin does a lot of interesting stuff with elemental interactions, which might make for some fun mage-based gameplay.

Skyrim has aged well and as long as you're not using the Special Edition, there's a slew of great magic mods to choose from. Apocalypse and Midas are the two big magic mods, both add a huge number of new spells to the game and make a pure mage playthrough far more interesting. I personally preferred Apocalypse because it felt a little more balanced to me – a lot of the best spells will have both a positive and negative effect (ie. do a bunch of damage while taking damage yourself, or a summon that breaks out of your control after X seconds), which makes combat interesting. SKSE (the third party script extender that allows many mods to work) hasn't been updated for the Special Edition yet, and as such a lot of mods won't work with it. So if you really want to get into modding, vanilla Skyrim is still your best bet. Special Edition is fine if you only want to use one or two mods and want all the pretties without mucking about with ENB.

Mycroft Holmes posted:Hey guys, I'm looking for a game to play. It has to be for the PC and I'm looking for something based around collecting resources and upgrading. I already have Terraria and Starbound, so something else would be good. You should check out Dig or Die, it's basically a shittier version of both games you gave as examples, but it's still really fun, in a "Boy am I glad I spent $5 on this cheap Chinese knockoff instead of $20 on the real authentic American equivalent". There's also Nom Nom Galaxy, which is neat. Same sidescrolling mechanics with largie-ish open worlds, but instead of crafting gear and fighting monsters, you craft better base facilities and hunt monsters and local flora to turn into soup that you ship throughout the galaxy. Or Stardew Valley, which changes from 2D sidescroller to topdown game. You upgrade tools and your farm to get better tools and a better... farm? Finally, there's Rimworld. I dunno why I'm putting this here since it's drastically different from both Terraria and Starbound, but I get the same vibes.

Just get Divinity: Original Sin already. It has magic + great environmental interactions. The sequel is coming out this year, too. Maybe the KOTOR series, too. It has a combat/magic (sorry, 'Force') system based on D&D rules, even though it's not terribly deep.

KOTOR is so unbelievably busted on PC. I gave up when I realized to play the game at a proper, non stretched resolution I would have to launch it repeatedly every single time I wanted to play until the shady wide-screen patch worked. And even when it does work half the time the UI is broken and can't be fixed even with the patch's suggested fix.

Divinity's combat is definitely what you're looking for. Just a warning though, the writing is intentionally cheesy fantasy schlock. Some of it quite funny, a lot of it really dull. Dragon Age Origin's spellcasting isn't quite as intricate as BG2's but it also has a fairly in-depth system for programming the party's AI which I found scratches the same itch.

Only problem I had was with conversations sometimes speeding up to a comical extent, which was apparently due to my 144Hz monitor.

I'm on Windows 10 with a Radeon 7950. Other than the fact that I have an AMD card I don't think there's any substantial difference between our setups.

It was only a month or two ago, but I honestly don't remember. Looking at my Steam game files, I'm pretty sure the Override folder was created by whichever patch I used (for KOTOR 1). Don't know if you have that too. I will say, I remember it took quite some effort to get everything set up right. But after that, it worked fine.

Hollow Knight is basically a cartoonish Dark Souls,but it's a bit more of a metroidvania,so I don't think it counts. There's also the Momodora games,which might scratch the Souls itch. If you want a game that is literally just Souls,there's also Nioh on PS4.

Bloodborne is good. Hollow Knight is good. Salt & Sanctuary feels more like fanfiction but if you can tolerate that it's serviceable.

KingSlime posted:what even is this opinion here, millenial sexlord Just my opinion. The graphical style was cluttered and noisy, and the gameplay was more frustrating to me. I prefer the methodical timing based dance of the core Souls over the frantic twitch stuff. Alot of people like Bloodborne, but I hate it. And therefor can't recommend it in a recommendation thread. That's all.

You must have hated DS3 then I was unhappy to see the switch from methodical, deliberate combat to bloodborne levels of YEAAAAAAAAARGH within Dark Souls once 3 was released It works great within Bloodborne but imo, made DS3 into an unfun, though admittedly satisfying, slog

i never found Bloodborne particularly frantic? there's more pressure to be aggressive for sure but you can take it at a pretty steady rhythm if you have the setup for it. nowhere on the level of, say, mid to high difficulty DMC.

Having just finished Wizardry 8, I was looking for another game where a major feature of it is making your own very customized party. I'm looking for something maybe a bit more modern and not in the vein of the grid based first person crawler like Legend of Grimrock or the older Wizardry games. I'd prefer if it was entirely based on the party with no real "Main" character and the larger the possible party and player made characters the better. Setting doesn't really matter and real time or turn based I can take either or.

While "new," the Avernum games are remakes of much older games, but fit this mold pretty well. Temple of Elemental Evil does too--it has very grognardy turn-based combat though which turns some people off. (I love it though) Alternatively there's Lord of Xulima--you get one main character to drive the (entirely forgettable) plot but the rest of the party is entirely custom-made and the MC is highly customizable as well. It can get really tedious if you put it on the higher difficulty levels though.
