I do love throwing a fireball, summoning my little fire infused gremlin, and having him immediately throw another one in that game.

i quickly lost interest with divinity 2. but there is a yogscast triple lp with pyrion flax, sips, and lewis that is a long and genuinely amusing trainwreck.

I'm in the midst of a fane/skellyman lone wolf game where both are fire/earth summoners so my opening volley always includes 4 fireballs and two whirlwinds a d sets half the room on fire. It's p great

Also an undead protip: just carry around a barrel of ooze for the whole game. It's heavy but it'll fill an infinite number of poison bottles without other mats

Harrow posted:Divinity Original Sin 2 is good because it's an RPG all about loving around, doing crimes, and routinely lighting entire battlefields on fire even though it's a terrible tactical decision. Does it have Dragons and Magic?

Shibawanko posted:Does it have Dragons and Magic? The first one had a perk that let's you turn everything into a poison absorbing zombie. And then you would light your poison goop on fire because it explodes. Really the game is about exploding things with fun combinations rather than fantasy stuff. You can also stun people by making it rain on them and electrifying the puddle.

Shibawanko posted:Does it have Dragons and Magic? Yes to both I should note that I am not saying the story or setting are any good, just that it has a lot of really fun systems that work together to let the player gently caress around in fun ways and cause a lot of chaos. It also has elves, but they're cannibals. And you can play as a skeleton Side note, I'm always really conflicted on fantasy settings that are like "we have elves and dwarves but they're not actually like D&D elves and dwarves at all, we just call them that, we're so subversive." Like the lizardfolk in Divinity are much more like standard fantasy elves than the elves are--they're convinced they're superior, extremely skilled with magic, distant from other races, etc., and there's not really any reason to call the setting's elves "elves" at all. On the other hand, Divinity does a really good job of making their elves and dwarves not just "tall, skinny magic human and short, hairy mountain human." The elves, especially, look really alien, especially when you see how different their muscle structure is. So that part's kinda cool, I guess.

Divinity 2 is really great. I love spending 6 rounds breaking through magic and physical armor and spamming aerothurge spells to keep my party alive through 3 waves of this poo poo. Because of course its really fun when encounters take 30 minutes to attempt

Sounds like you didn't focus-fire on targets or make sure your party had enough damage. Also the game was pretty poorly-balanced as far as damage vs. health scaling--the game rewarded super-high damage in one damage type over everything else, and enemies had far too much elemental resistance so that damage type was probably physical--but the enhanced edition they just released rebalanced a lot of it and also made mixed magic/physical parties much more viable on high difficulties Also long encounters are fun when there aren't a ton of them and they're individually designed and not just samey random battles.

You can be a skeleton of any race if you want (human, dwarf, elf, or lizard). People don't like skeletons, though, so you gotta wear masks and hide that you're a skeleton if you want NPCs not to hate you. Or you can just accept that NPCs will hate you and roll with it. One of the premade characters/party members is a skeleton man and also it is possible to gently caress the skeleton

I love Divinity 2. It's all the best parts of Baldur's Gate, Suikoden Rhapsodia, and Dragon Quarter. I'm an undead lizard lady on a playthrough I'm doing with some of my buds and I love all the dumb poo poo you can do that game. The best part is accidentally stunning your own teammate because you don't know blood can be electrified.

NWN: Mask of the Betrayer is probably my favorite RPG story wise since if you followed the evil path by the end you became so goddamn power that even the gods were scared that you were going to eat them, which you could if you wanted to. Also it was great gameplay wise since they just didn't really care about game balance. Wasn't to make a duel-weilding weapon master / monk combo that can do more attacks per round than even the game engine can animate? Go right ahead you animal.

Chrono Trigger is by no means bad, but it's pretty average. Super Mario RPG is far superior, imo. All of the Soul Blazer games are worth playing.

The battle system in SMRPG is way better but Chrono Trigger is one of like.....maybe two or three JRPGs total that have an actually engaging and interesting story. Plus the music in CT is some of the best for the system, whereas the sound design for SMRPG isn't bad so much as really weird. Both great games though.

Grinding takes a very long time in that game, so I just said "gently caress it" and moved on

I can't stand the map system or the obnoxiously large hitspark when you take damage, it completely obscures your view.

I also found the creature variety (at least in the 3-4 hours of gameplay I saw) to be pretty weak and uninteresting. I appreciate certain aspects of that game, but I just don't think it's very good.

It had great characters and individual arcs for them, but the overarching story was just "ok." Time travel shenanigans were handled really, really well though. I'd argue that SMRPG had better individual locations and settings, though. And a better story, from what I remember. But it's been a while. I put Terranigma above both easily, and IoG is still a great game despite having a completely miserable tone from start to finish.

Breath of Fire IV has one of the saddest and most gripping/engaging stories of any game I've played. It's music and visual style are also A+++. Seriously though that game is loving heartless.
