Dial-a-Dog posted:Actually, PS:T had the best combat engine of all the IE games. Just use chromatic orb instead of magic arrow, also it's impossible to gimp any of the characters while levelling up because they all basically turn into plane shaping deities by the end. Heck, you don't even need to fight to win the last battle so who cares I like the part where there's the ridiculous lawful good thing that's just an idea in a suit of armor, and if you can get him to admit there are gray areas in life he just stops existing.

I think the hardest battles in that game were the weirdly difficult but entirely optional sewer battles near the end Real Mean Queen posted:I like the part where there's the ridiculous lawful good thing that's just an idea in a suit of armor, and if you can get him to admit there are gray areas in life he just stops existing. Vhailor, and he rules, way better than Ignus who I think you can remind that you're the reason he's the (painful) embodiment of fire and he attacks you then you annihilate him

You can do something similar to Dak'kon but instead of losing his poo poo and trying to kill you he's just "Alright I'm your slave for eternity please don't expose the heresy behind my entire race"

I also like where you meet some sad bum who's all worked up about a dead tree (the only one on this plane of existence). If you can successfully talk enough people into giving a poo poo about the tree, it can grow. I don't think you even get any loot for that, just a grip of experience and something to think about. I'd be loving dick deep into dnd every week between today and the grave if I met someone that could consistently present something that cool. Even inconsistently, I'm on board. Every time I've tried to play, it's always "oh some goblins or something are robbing a bank, do you stop them or kill them and take the gold? The choice is yours!" There are seldom any real ideas, and I can't picture meeting every week just to make some numbers go up on a piece of paper. When vampire: bloodlines dropped I was extremely about it and loved the whole world it presented and how the plot revolves around basically a dumb macguffin that felt important but was ultimately meaningless, that's my poo poo. A few dudes I knew had been playing vampire so I was stoked to get a piece of that. Then I showed up and it's PURPLE MONKEY CHEESE malkavians and no theme or even plot, it's just two hours of character sheets and then "some hoodlums are robbing a bank! How do you use your carefully selected abilities to stop them and/or take all the money?" It was nothing, and I bailed out fast. That's way too many words to say that Planescape and vampire bloodlines are the pen and paper games you wish you were playing, packaged in a convenient way that you can enjoy half cut in your underpants.

Divinity original sin is a drat good game. One of the few successes of Kickstarter. It's got a good combat system, the characters are good, the story is dumb but fun. It's an old school style party based rpg with the big thing being the combat system that is all about using the environment to your advantage to combo with your spells. They rereleased it about a year ago with better graphics and some changes to the story and combat. And they added voice acting for every line in the game. Company so cool they gave everyone who had it already the game the updated version for free. I think a sequel should be coming around soon too.

Holey moley Planescape was awesome, I also liked getting the chance to brutally own random cosmic level beings just for hanging out, like when you slew Trias for his sword, and if you tried to spare him with Vhailor in your party Vhailor killed him anyway for being a poo poo deva

Planescape Torment is a shitload of reading with a bad combat system, unlike Final Fantasy Tactics, which understands how to keep an economy of language with incredibly deep strategic battles.

They're both dope, but PS:T's battles take like two minutes and you don't need to min max your way through them because your insanely over powered party can sleep walk through most of the game as long as you talk to them. Grinding out an effective Calculator takes way longer

gently caress the overpowered DLC in BG2 includes Dak'kon's zerth blade and I'm pretty sure the only way you can lose him as a character is to slaughter him on purpose

FactsAreUseless posted:Also a fair chunk of the Final Fantasy series, but mostly what you want is Chrono Trigger. This. Or alternatively if you hate yourself and don't value your free time, a personal favorite is 7th Saga. As an appropriate addendum, the first Lufia was good too. The second was just brimming with content. "Harrower" posted:Also lol if you aren't willing to emulate chrono trigger, earthbound, and lufia 2. Also Seiken Densetsu 3 and Mother 2 because they're good sequels to good games. Pillars of Eternity lacks the wacky nature of Planescape Torment, but on the bright side it was a kickstarter so every other person you can talk to has dialogue written by some grognard about their love of table top. And gently caress it Chrono Cross. Solvent fucked around with this message at 09:33 on Oct 2, 2016 |

Jack Trades posted:Divinity: Original Sin Echoing this. It even has co-op, which I know at face value doesn't even make sense for an RPG to have, but thanks to the game's slightly ridiculous nature, everything from decision making to combat is made 100x funnier with another human being involved.

I was going to say this, but I instantly regressed into my own childhood upon thinking about RPGs I love. Mod a Wii and fill it with emulators. Force your friends children to play it while you drink beer in the yard. This was my every weekend for the past five years.

John Denver Hoxha posted:The RPG-30 is pretty neat, it fires a smaller munition first that is designed to trigger active protection and allow the main warhead to go through. this was the answer all along but since you're into the classics you might also consider the RPG-7  like many of the classics it's being remade by american fanboys and is surprisingly popular

7th Saga is the one where they hosed up the level scaling in the English version. Like you were supposed to scale with your nemesis, but they changed the multipliers so you just fall farther behind as you level up. gently caress you for trying to play it, I guess
