I wish there was another Knights of the Old Republic game by Obsidian. Kreia was cool.

Read Only Memories tried that and it fuckin sucked so I wouldn't go that far

ROM being diverse as possible isn't what made it so medicore.

Diversity does not make or break a game, it only effects how much straight white males will freak out about it.

It actually was exclusively the problem because the developers used it as their soapbox to be as preachy and annoying as possible about the issues they saw as important, in the process forgoing literally anything that could count as a well-written story

edit: Sakurazuka was right when they said that having good writing is just as important as having a diverse cast

To me that's because they're bad writers and completely fumbled. Not because they decided to be super diverse in their game.

I guess it's kinda a little of column A and B. The preachiness is what made the writing bad, but at the same time, without it they probably would have just written a bad story instead. :/

Yeah, I think had they went with a different setting with less inclusion they would have still produced an okay-at-best story.

I want them to try again.

steam recommends me a lot lot lot of randomly generated roguelikes because spelunky and nuclear throne are two of my favorite games and let me tell you. all the recommendations are trash

I have like four Randomly generated games I like and I get nothing but the same type in my queues.

I am sick of those games I just want something with a normal campaign in it.

I haven't played Back In 1995 and probably won't play this but I really do like the way they look

Maybe in 2040 the throwback retro indie games will look like Uncharted 4 and they'll laugh at our pathetic technology

Back In 1995 is weird in that in stills it looks okay but when you're actually playing it every texture is stretching and distorting with the camera and it's ugly as sin.

What's the deal with exchange places like CEX? Are there ever good deals in there? The one near me had OOT 3Ds for twenty pounds, while it's like 14 on amazon prime. Everything else seems to be only 5% ish cheaper than new, if that.

Prices are only okay when it'l last gen stuff and even then it's not much cheaper.

Tried to get into Pathfinder once. I had never played any live RPGs before and it was a new group forming and we're all meeting for the first time. Long story short: the DM didn't know poo poo about anything and was basically recruiting a captive audience for his lame fantasy novel.

Highlights:
DM on rolling stats: "roll seven D20s and throw out the lowest number". No further instructions.
DM when asked how wizard opposition schools work: No coherent response, didn't seem familiar with term.
DM running combat: No grid present. Positioning/distances not accounted for or even acknowledged. Essentially rolling attack in a void.


Even with my limited experience consisting solely of Baldur's Gate rules I knew something was very wrong. Did not go back.
Yeah, that sounds 100% the DM just wanting you to experience their epic masterpiece instead of actually having fun.

I don't get why he chose Pathfinder for that, it's incredibly focused on character building and combat.

Both systems are just as focused on combat and dungeon crawling, 4e is just actually good at it so people tend to emphasize it more.

If you don't want a combat focused system, play something that isn't D&D.

A good group/gm can make anything great though.

Yeah a good GM can also balance out Pathfinder's & D&D's combat focus with real good non-combat situations.
