/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.

Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate!

Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vrpg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/.

I really didn't like the amount of combat in the game. There was way too much of it to the point where I became sick of it and just wanted it to end.
The system the game was based on wasn't very fun. Every time you leveled up you got way too many choices on what you could chose and it was almost overwhelming.
Act 4 and 5 are almost nothing to the point where I would recommend people to just stop playing after act 3.
I did really like the characters and the story up until act 4. Likewise it wasn't until act 4 that I became sick of all the combat encounters. There's some good stuff in this game but unless you get it for like 10 to 20 dollars or pirate it I would say you might want to pass.
>>
>>3492493
I feel like that was an issue in their previous games too, but with rtwp it was slightly less bothersome. Even then, I sometimes skipped fights by using toybox to cheat. With RT I didn't need to because thanks to bugs (I hope) I got a near limitless attacks (benefit from solving some high int riddle stacked with bounty hunter ulti) with a ridiculous damage (plasma gun that had int instead of int bonus to damage) so I could end most fights in one turn if I wanted to.

It was a good game. Solid B- game.
The ship battle fights was a mediocre to bad experience; only the first few fights were actually fun.

Was thinking of getting NWN2 just to play Mask of the Betrayer (given its reputation). I've never played a NWN game though. Should I be fine to skip the OC? I watched an hour or two of both on YT and the OC looks like the cheesiest fantasy schlock, whereas the opening section of MotB was kino as fuck. Also, more importantly, the modules for these games are a big selling point, so are there any that you guys like?

Basically discussion both NWN games, which expansions you like, and which modules. I'm open to trying out both games

NTA, but I'd say that the difference in shield AC increases further with levels, if one gets +1, +2, etc., meaning one can get up to, like, +8 difference thanks to tower shields.
It's just that the difference is high enough only on later levels. Still, enemies' AB by 3d edition's design grows too fast compared to AC, and it remains a question not of full mitigation but of making enemies hit you on 15+ rolls rather than on 10+ or even lower. That is why HP gets so bloated and early levels are so bad.
>>
>>3470715
Well, the OCs of both games are a bit bland, and is a little more than a showcase for the capabilities of the Aurora toolset. But Hordes of the Underdark and the Mask of the Betrayer are the best expansion, imho.

But I've enjoyed playing through both games and all their expansions (and other content, both official and unofficial) several times during the last twenty odd years, so I think it's worth it to play through them all regardless of their perceived difference in quality.

So yeah, just play the games through and through, if you feel like it. That's my advise.

I also don't care if anyone thinks my opinion is retarded and my advise sucks, so fuck off already.

Why are modern RPGs so long?

Jeez. Don't they understand that after 20-30 hours the average player gets bored of the same setting with the same faces? And that it is better to improve re-playability, and not the length of hours?

I will play with pleasure for 20 hours. Then I'll take a break, forget about the plot, come back after a while and play again with pleasure with another character with a different role-playing style.

If the game is long, I will get tired of the monotony for a maximum of 50 hours, drop it and never come back, because the game will be etched in my memory as boring shit.

As a kid, I only had access to a handful of games, so you were happy to have long games. And even smaller games, I'd find a way to stretch out their playtime exploring every nook and cranny. Game enjoyment wasn't purely consumptive back then.

Just trading a bunch of 3 max upgraded weapons. However pic related is much cheaper to do

3 tengu cloak also work. Not a lot of 3 maxed out armor seem to work. But I could also just be unlucky, and there's no way I'm going to cycle my Pulchran robes

I don't think there's a cheap weapon to max out though. The cheapest is definitely armor and accessories given you can trade up into most of this crap

>What's the appeal of clearing the screen with one spell? Where's the gameplay?
Yeah that's also a problem. There is no appeal or gameplay once your character becomes this op. Not like the base gameplay of ARPG's of mindlessly clicking the same mobs over and over and over again is appealing gameplay to begin with...
>>
>>3491454
There's an interesting mod for Grim Dawn called "Dread" that makes monsters much stronger and reduces their number. It pretty much concentrates the combined strength and health of a large mob into a few creatures. You have to make use of more than one skill to kill them.
It's not a solution to the problem, and I wouldn't even say it was good, but it's different.

That's not a very nice thing to say, my guy. I believe most of the playerbase have relatively ordinary lives and normal. Maybe even a house, a spouse and kids.

I still play on the RP servers from time to time; maybe mostly because I miss the haydays of NWN in the 00s and wish to reminisce of the good times that were had.

I dearly miss 3kds and TWI with their fantastic communities.

It may look like shit but it will offer a choice of real RPG (that is realtime) combat instead of strategy game combat, which is so rare these days. It also takes inspiration from the best RPG of all time, BG1. Hopes, fears, dreams?

so we've pretty much established it's not "every single one" it's just those using retarded DnD system and retarded DnD-based systems, innit?
>They fixed... That alone makes this game the single best CRPG released in decades
yeah let's just forget that almost every out of numerous non-DnD based crpg of 2010 have already fixed that

>just those using retarded DnD system
oh yeah and that one slavshit-gaem-no-white-people-play from the same devs that I keep forgetting was also guilty of the same flaw as DnD games but to a greater extent

There is a reaper that is destroying all the ships attacking it. Any sort strategy that isn’t focused on destroying it could mean dooming the galaxy. Shepard sacrificing the alliance fleets to help the destiny ascension escape has him put the lives of three politicians above the lives of the entire galaxy. And it’s supposed to be a paragon option. Saving a few of elites is the good boy option. So dumb. The choices in mass effect make nonsense. Just like curing the genocide all because you care about making your friend happy rather than making sure the galaxy wont be engaged in a war to stop the krogan after the reapers are dealt with.

I was considering posting a thread listing all the plotholes of the trilogy but remembered they only allow 500 posts per thread and 2,000 characters per post, so I wouldn't even be able to adequately describe even half the plotholes in the permitted 1,000,000 characters. So I said fuck it, it isn't worth posting 6 seperate threads to elaborate about literally every damn plothole. However not everything is a plothole, so no need to move goalposts looking for even more plotholes than we already got. Pretending the Citadel Council aren't (unwittingly) mildly Indoctrinated sleeper-agents would be a plothole in theory, except they are actually Indoctrinated so there is no plothole in actual practice

Ffs we already have more than enough real legitimate plotholes to cope with and ruminate over without you inventing fake plotholes in your mind. For example, remember in ME1 when Femshep and Liara T'soni kindly offer to invite Kaiden Alenko into a 2 female 3some? And Kaiden strangely says fuck no? That is a fucking outright offensive plothole! like Bioware heretics wiping their shitty assholes with the Lore itself! Kaiden isn't retarded, if they wanted to make ME1 more realistic he would have said fuck yes!

I can prove how it is a plothole, consider this... If Femshep offered any anon lurking here an invitation to enjoy a 3some with herself and Liara, I'd imagine 99% of us would happily accept her offer, right?

It is incredibly weird how the ME1 Salarian councilor is male, the ME1 codex makes it clear only the female cast of Salarians are allowed to serve in government. Equally weird how a Vorcha leads the blood back in ME3, wtf?

Anybody got some cracked/free plugins for MZ?
I'm looking for the ones that change the gameplay style into a strategy rpg or sidescroller?
>>
>>3492825
Well, you can just download MZ games and copy the plugin files.

Plugins aren't cracked, that said, some are obfuscated making them useless; unless you abite by the developer of that plugin and only use their plugins. You're going to encounter issues with conflicts due to unnessecary bloat in plugins and won't be able to fix them when they're obfuscated.

SigmaSuccour kept a list of all plugins for MZ that he could find in a spreadsheet.
Here's a free one from it: https://github.com/Ohisama-Craft/SRPG_GearMZ
(steam link)
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2811870/RPG_Maker_MZ__SRPG_Gear_MZ__Tactical_Battle_system_for_RPG_Maker_MZ/

Yes, there is a competitor on itch.io that google, etc. prioritize (because western) which costs 25 dollar. (the western plugin community sucks due to the devs feeling entitled, are money greedy and obfuscate shit)

Anyway, find sigma's list and you'll find plenty of side scroller helpful plugins.
Look up Side on youtube if you want to see how to make a side scroller in MV/MZ
