Why was the latest dragon quest so easy on default difficulty anyway?

None of the dragon quests are all that hard by design. I think they just tuned it for base players, without factoring in how much a difference things like smithing make on your damage output.

roche might've been good with a completely different voice direction but as is he's a mind-numbing waste of time

Breetai posted:You think that the story of Disco Elysium is the murder mystery, don't you? It is not, but it would not hurt to have 2-3 different last day scenarios that play out based on different triggers. Since the last day in any case is beyond the point of no return. The old jaded sniper living in the fort could easily be different persons who had different reasons, depending on what you uncovered and what you did not. And could play out on that map a bit differently. I mean come on, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis did something similar 20 years ago.

I asked the recommendation thread for RPGs that have a central theme/concept that it addresses directly and does well, citing the Shin Megami Tensei and Ultima series as games that directly address the topic of ethics/morals as a whole, probing that actual topic, rather than just having a bunch of choices that amount to narrative branching but without exploration of the topic. I cited Dishonored, Deus Ex, and the Witcher as that kind, cause really, I mean they have choices or they represent your play style in how things play out, but what those choices revolve around aren't really what the games are about, generally. It's a niche request, and I understand that being kind of a pain in the rear end. I headed off the suggestion of Disco Elysium in any case, and I specifically said I'm a turbonerd and asked them to "dig deep". The responses I got before being told basically that RPGs don't do this really, and that what I want is a visual novel or walking simulator, were Life is Strange, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, Pathologic, Omori, Undertale, and Planescape: Torment. The deepest digging there Look all I'm sayin is, if our best games recommenders are saying RPGs aren't the place for stories that with central themes for exploration then maybe player agency in RPGs is a little pointless too Neco posted:Who even wants their choices to affect the story of a game in a meaningful way, jesus christ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiX5FW4CXpI&t=560s signalnoise fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Dec 20, 2021 |

You know genres are getting a bit useless as descriptors when you start hearing things like "rogue-like with rpg elements" or some such

Video game genres are dumb ways to makes you sound like a sophisticated taxonomist. these are the real genres: -Doom -mario -final fantasy (Dragon warrior in japan) -mario 64 -Dune 2 -grand theft auto 3 - civilization -street fighter -double dragon -sports

Breetai posted:You think that the story of Disco Elysium is the murder mystery, don't you? It's largely about leftism attempts to dethrone capitalism, and the conflicts that often occurs during the process. It's essentially a commentary on modern political ideologies. Neco posted:Who even wants their choices to affect the story of a game in a meaningful way, jesus christ! RPG players? The Witcher and Obsidian titles for example have choices in the game that frequently change and affect the character's path and others around them. signalnoise posted:I'm curious to know what the RPG criteria are here Your choices affect the outcome of the game. punk rebel ecks fucked around with this message at 22:51 on Dec 20, 2021 |

Yeah Disco Elysium is the ultimate role playing game because the story is the same and you choose the role you play in it. There's a lot of writing to get to the same point. Instead of pickpocketing random containers you get well written story if you choose the thief path.
