Jack Trades posted:Random question. Go back and play RE4 and RE5. They're loving excellent games. You'll get over your hatred for the controls, they're actually well designed. The game is balanced around them, not being able to effortlessly kite while doing damage is the point.

The Joe Man posted:Is Wrath also a status effect-based nightmare like the first one was? Oh gently caress yes Kingmaker is sort of baldurs gate cosy fantasy, wrath is epic heavy metal. They both have a superb real time/pause engine and they both have a nightmarishly intricate system but if you turn the difficulty down and just pick default leveling options you will do fine.

It does seem like you have to want both the combat side of the game and the superhero hangout side, too, though, as form what I can tell there’s a lot of both. god this is like it was made for my terrible brain. help, help!

Asking on pathfinder wrath: I beat kingmaker on normal difficulty and it was a slog. I remember hitting the last chapter or two where all the evil elf guys from the other dimension show up and had near 95% chance to resist everything my magic users had. Every single monster had insurmountable resistances. Also any kind of tanking was pointless because there wasn't any way to effectively pin anything down like one attack of opportunity didn't mean poo poo. Luckily I had a monk that was just a blender and could basically solo any encounter, so it was a monk death machine, a healer for the monk, and 4 useless people. I didn't follow any guides and just did recommended builds for the most part. And my party wasn't weird or goofy yolo builds it was just standard poo poo, rogue, healer, monk, fighter, and a couple casters. I guess my question would be: is the balancing in wrath all stupid and lovely? e: actually now that I'm writing this I remember a spot where your party gets split up and you have to go free them, and my monk got split out so I had to savescum fights to hit like a couple 5% chance casts to be able to clear an encounter and get to my monk to free him. Now that I think about it gently caress wrath. I have opposite of goon syndrome where I have to beat a game if I buy it and I don't wanna risk getting stuck in that poo poo again. vaginite fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Dec 1, 2022 |

Wrath certainly has some warts but it also had nothing anywhere near the complex weave of bullshittery the ending section of Kingmaker had. It starts creaking and buckling under the sheer weight of the XTREEM EPICNESS in the late game (D&D variants all kind of do when you get over level 15+) but I played on normal with an intentionally non-minmaxed build and found the difficulty to be fairly pleasant. You will definitely have to learn a bit of the system and read your feats though, as getting your bonuses high enough to crack the armor class or saves of boss monsters can be dire otherwise. We're talking "take MAKE FIRE MAGIC GOODER feat on your fire wizard instead of the +4 acrobatics feat" level of basic diligence, though.

I kinda want to play the Pathfinder games but I prefer doing my own thing rather than follow default builds and can't really be arsed to learn a new system. At least not if it's D&D style where you can totally gimp a character just trying to make something cool. I inevitably made incredibly lovely gish characters in Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights and then had to go back and read a bunch of forum posts before planning something that actually worked. I actually really enjoy planning character builds but that's the kind of thing one does on a second, hard difficulty playthrough after attaining some systems knowledge instead of going in blind.

The more I hear about Pathfinder the more confused I am about their success. But I've been hankering for another isometric RPG and I've pretty much played all of them except for the two Owlcat games.

AfricanBootyShine posted:If I'm going to play one Pathfinder game, should I play Kingmaker or Wrath of the Righteous? Pretend that price doesn't make a difference. Kingmaker was way too generic fantasy story for me, meanwhile I found Wrath to have a really interesting cast and main plot that I forced myself to plow though the godawful combat because I was curious about the plot and it was worth it. (Install the ToyBox mod and cheat like a motherfucker whenever the game throws another bullshit encounter at you)

The Joe Man posted:I have some good news for you... anilEhilated posted:For what it's worth, I beat Wrath with a gimmick character (a lightning-specialized Magus - the spellblade class - in a game where most enemies are lightning immune, which I obviously didn't know beforehand) so roleplaying something cool is definitely an option. The mythic abilities you get as you progress the plot give you a fair bit of leeway, as do the various difficulty sliders. Goa Tse-tung posted:just play on easiest or second easiest difficulty, the complexity will be there but without team wipes due to bad rolls Yeah, see every time I mention my qualms about Pathfinder, I get a bunch of "it's cool but..." replies  The same thing happened with Pillars of Eternity where I made a crap gish dude and then asked where I went wrong. And goons recommended several gimmick muscle wizard builds. Which were super neat but also something I would never have been able to build without first reading through the game wiki and theorycrafting. Which is not how I want to spend my first hours of a game, that's second playthrough content. Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Dec 1, 2022 |

It's a long D&D/Pathfinder romp where the computer does a lot of the busywork for you + pretty graphics. Also there's a lot of people who've played 3.5 and it's basically the same system.

In regards to Darktide, what's the most rebellious background I can pick as a psyker that isn't also a maniac? I only ask because saying things like "I serve gladly" in the prologue is not at all what I want this character to be, if possible. I remember playing in the beta on steam (now on xbox game pass) and my character was in no way a blind follower of the Imperium, though it might be due to an alteration to what voice lines are being used rather than any changes I did when creating it. I distinctly remember several lines about how cruel the Imperium is and how it badly needed reform, and elsewhere I saw videos of ones that basically said the Emperor probably wasn't a real God.

Lmfao apparently sorta bad but somehow enjoyable ARPG Ascend: Hand of Kul is back on Steam, I guess rereleased by some rich person/people that liked it and wanted it back in the world. Is it worth your time necessarily? I dunno but it was kinda cool and I think about it every once and a while.

I gotta say I think an iconoclastic psyker would last about 2 minutes anywhere in the Imperium, even under the protection of a Inquisitor. Probably ESPECIALLY in employ of an Inquisitor, since they know exactly what kind of barbed tentacle nightmare happens when the psy-enabled start Getting Ideas. Psykers who can't at least put on a really good act of following the party line wouldn't make it past Black Ark detail.

Midnight Suns is confusing me because I cringed pretty hard at the deckbuilding part (coming from someone who's really into tactical games and loved XCOM 1 & 2 and the first third of Chimera Squad), but the dating super heroes bit is stupid enough to make me intrigued.

Fruits of the sea posted:Yeah, see every time I mention my qualms about Pathfinder, I get a bunch of "it's cool but..." replies Just set the difficulty at normal or below and you can do basically whatever you want. Pathfinder has very modular difficulty options so it’s easy to tailor it to whatever level of investment you want to put into maximizing your characters builds.

This is unfortunately not-jokingly a contradiction in terms. They're leaning very hard into the setting fluff, and in the setting fluff a psyker working for the Imperium, especially the inquisition, is either extremely good at at least pretending to lick fascist boots or is dead.

I bought 2 anime games which have an optional adult patch, of which I only played one and without the patch, and now steam only keeps recommending me porn games. I hope it gets overwritten soon, I've been playing other games since but all I see is porn in the recommendations. e: The game was pretty fun though (Venus Blood: Frontier).

From what I've tested, even the most rebellious psyker voice still tries to convince the people at the start of the game that they are loyal, but also shittalk the Imperium every chance they get once on a mission with the other rejects. Edit: But also, if indeed everyone always listen in on the conversations you have over the comms, almost everyone would be executed for heresy or sedition immediately after a mission.
