The biggest problem with Harry Potter is that it took the public conception of wizardry away from shriveled old men with long beards and robes and made it synonymous with revolting British private school students e: terrible snipe

I wonder if anyone's done an all one class challenge and seen how that actually goes, like which class is easiest/hardest with 4 of them. I'm guessing 4 rogues would be tough.

If you get to the end of a billion hour CRPG you should just get access to the console. No matter the title you're talking about you've endured a lot of jank and padding and bugs and lost progress to get to that point, it's okay to then fly around like superman one shotting everything

when you reach the end of a crpg you delete all your saves, wipe achievements, and start over. idle hands do the devil's work

There's no need for CHIM in CRPGs because you're apready insanely overpowered because they are all very poorly balanced. Either that or the enemies one shot your entire party and you have to spend two hours reading guides and respeccing

i like the pathfinder games having extremely specific weapon specialization feats hope you're good at guessing whether you're gonna find a bunch of good polearms throughout the game!!

The correct way to play is to hit the "Here Be Budget Crunches" part of the mid or late-mid game and then restart with a different build, which incidentally is how people tend to naturally play these games. edit - or of course just do something radical and make a 25 hour CRPG that's perfect by just removing the combat entirely

all modern games should release with casuals in mind (even if they select the highest difficulty) but then later you can silently release a real hard mode overhaul for the vets.
