I really want to play Tyranny but oh boy that combat system is loving awful. I don't even mind the real-time pause combat thing, I had fun with the combat used in KotOR 2 for example, but it does not work in an isometric game like that. Everything is super tiny, interface is bad and it just seemed to turn into a clusterfuck.

Yeah, I think you can solve all the quests in the game without any combat and even if you stumble into combat you can just die, respawn, and find another way to solve the problem. There's no penalty for dying, if I recall correctly, you don't even need to reload a previous save.

Wasteland or whatever.

I beat Wasteland 2 and liked it quite a bit even, but it's definitely not the easiest recommendation since it's obviously aimed at a niche audience.

DisDisDis posted:Gah. PSP! Archers are god tier. If you can, use a cheat code for crafting because goddamn that is some tedious poo poo. Be prepared for some frustration when guest units run headlong into their death when you are trying to keep them alive. Clerics kinda suck. Lobbers can do their healing job much better. Valkyries can do their buffing once they get boon of swiftness. Valkyries also start out mediocre but end up pretty beastly as support / offensive casters / melee. Wizards have poor damage output but are useful for their crowd control. Matriarchs / Patriarchs(recruited monster classes) or any advanced caster class is much better at damage. You can eventually do all the paths / recruit everyone / do everything in your save file so don't worry about that.

I hope one of the Nier Automata endings alleviates the guilt I feel at murdering all the robots at the carnival. I dunno what came over me. I killed one just to see if I could and it dropped a nice chip so I wondered if they would all drop nice chips. When I came to myself, I was surrounded by grease and cogs and a cheevo was blinking on my screen.

There's one NPC mission where you have to protect an archer. IIRC if you de-equip her, she won't charge into the battlefield like an idiot.

Sakurazuka posted:I thought PoE2 was already out.. There's a lot of material out for it, though it mostly shows how much faster development is this time around what with the engine being in the state it is and them having a solid bit of groundwork done. They apparently still have a ton of balancing to do, which was expected, but a lot of visual stuff is already being ironed out and nearing completion.

Rascyc posted:There's a gigantic dearth of good PC rpgs since Witcher 3 is pretty much it. What few have come out have been divisive really. It's not like there were tons of earth-shattering RPGs coming out before Witcher 3. It's about the same pace now as before. Shadowrun: Hong Kong and Divinity Original Sin 2 both came out after Witcher 3 and while I guess Shadowrun might be divisive (or not an RPG to some for whatever reason), Original Sin 2 seems to be pretty consistent in its reviews as being amazing.

I liked Tyranny despite the combat, did not like Pillars of Eternity or Torment 2, I really, really wanted to like Torment 2, but the art style was just so gross looking with combat that made me want to chop my hands off and never play a video game again.

Evil Fluffy posted:Original Sin 2 seems to be pretty consistent in its reviews as being amazing. It has insanely good tactical combat and roleplaying set up in an interesting way where you just don't feel like you can game it for a perfect run. Not once have I felt like I should reload and pick a different option. Not because I felt like I made the best choice, but because even the mistakes feel like they'll lead to something interesting.
