DA2 was the first real time party based RPG I'd played, so I played it 'wrong'. I played it pretty much as a hack'n'slash dating simulator and had a great time. I then watched my wife play it using strategy and the other party members abilities and was like 'whoa'. The arishok was fantastic, I kept going back to see if he had new dialogue after every quest. I was so pissed that I had to kill him halfway through the drat game. Didn't even get to take him on a date.

Nuebot posted:Or like, failing that at least get creative with it. What's that? You entered the plaid part of the map? Best wear your plaid armour or you'll die. I wanna play this game. Maybe plaid is super effective against houndstooth, but weak to pinstripe seersucker.

Extended narrative in video games was a mistake.

Kitfox88 posted:They patched it out sadly but there were a few times in Rogue Trader where your primary contact with the Adeptus Mechanicus in the sector was present for a fight, and that dude moved so loving slow that him fleeting the area in a cutscene before a particular fight started took like, almost a Literal God Damned Minute. Just this dude very slowly shuffling off to the side of the room while everyone waited kindly for grandpa to exit the firing area before we started rampaging, it was great. Just imagining a horde of Khorne Bezerkers on the edge of frenzy politely waiting for the old and infirm to clear the area because while they might be blood-crazed maniacal killing machines, they're not loving ANIMALS.

Stop spawning peasants - you may not realise it, but they contain skeletons.

Anything's better than the Tendencies from Demons Souls, at least regards to NPCs.

Arivia posted:Huh? There was an entire class of magic items called grafts with like ten different variants, including construct grafts (in Faiths of Eberron) and also the half-golem template in MM2. The latter had a chance of turning you evil, but it didn't make you mindless. 'Wizard, ever since you installed this prosthetic hand, the inhabitants of Abyss have called to me."

Taeke posted:I never reeally tried to interact with or make sense of those games, it's just too much effort. I'm like 20 years past having infinite time to search out tidbits of lore scour the map for something I missed. The gameplay is good enough on it's own terms and it's always pretty clear where to go next and what to do, so yeah. I gotta kill a lady sorceress now? Sure. Oh that guy I beat earlier came back with an upgrade? Whatever. There's a big loving giants in my way now? I'll kill it but gently caress me if I know how he relates to everything, I just have to get to that tree and beat whatever's there. Honestly, I think this is one of the best things (to me) about the Souls games, that the story doesn't really get in the way of the gameplay. You can start a new game and be out exploring or killing stuff in a minute or so. I noped out of Horizon Zero Dawn, a game who's gameplay I think I'd actually enjoy, because it started telling me a story. I don't want a story, I want to hunt giant robots! I'm not sure it's entirely about getting old and not having time, or whether it's growing up in the eighties with games with minimal or no story.
