Hello, Cam friend.

I don't know what games are released this year, but I guess I am somewhat interested in Dark Heresy so I keep an eye on it.

I think it's a mistake not to do at least 1 more season of DLC for RT if this one sells.Because RT is MUCH more flexible than Dark Heresy.
RT is set in the Koronus Expanse with a ton of stuff in it from xenos to human factions to official RPG material that is more varried than Dark Heresy. Dark Heresy is on one planet mostly (iirc you visit another one for a short time in story)
In Dark Heresy you are mostly limited to gangs and cults being the enemy unless you throw in xenos that can pop in without distrupting the main story too much which in this case are mostly Eldar and Tau infiltrators. While in RT you can pretty much throw in almost anything
>>
>>559081212
Fuck it, I wish they had done Dark Heresy first and Rogue Trader second. They could have used a shorter Dark Heresy game as a base system test for Rogue Trader, then have Rogue Trader be the polished graphically and mechanically better experience than Dark Heresy. And have it be the DLC cashcow.

Greedfall 2, Solasta 2, Clockwork Revolution, Wayward Realms, Archquest, Starfinder Afterlight, Zero Company, The Expanse, Disciples Domination, and Fable. I don't think all of these will be this year, but they're the upcoming rpg's I've preordered.
I still need to finish Tainted Grail, I've been distracted by a great many other games recently, both my old favorites I always play and trying a bunch of stuff in nextfest (there's only a handful of good ones).

If I remember correctly, there's a lot of that. Where it was meant to be a game where you serve the evil overlord and may have to do morally questionable things, you're also still given the "good" option if you feel bad.

Something to keep in mind is that the religion of the Imperium is true. The Emperor is real, and he's still absurdly powerful.

How difficult is it really to play a sorcerer first instead of a mage in bg1 and 2? Played sorcerers in other games before.
The first couple spell levels seem to have pretty slim pickings for good spells as is, at most I would mind missing out on the summons.
>>
>>
>>559093631
>bg1 is a very low level adventure game so it kind of sucks
Played the game up to like lvl 5 a couple times and always felts casters had the biggest impact. Whenever I made a fighter or something similsr my character just felt really replaceable so that’s why I wanted to just make a caster myself. Funwise auto attacking by throwing darts and occasionally disabling whole groups > auto attacking with a sword.

>>559095152
Correct. She had a lot of grand plans to use her child. Her knowledge of Flemeth's daughters having clearly inspired her somewhat. But in the end getting pregnant and having a child just triggered her maternal instincts. I think this especially makes sense if the Warden ends up following her into the eluvian. Furthermore Morrigan's hubris is probably her biggest weakness and she gets hoisted on her own petard when grasping for power on more than one occasion.

I need some tips to make it through Fallout 2, because I'm kind of struggling at the moment.
It seems like there's barely any way to make money, and every halfway decent weapon or armor costs way too much to be useful.
I left Vault city a little bit ago, made it past the rescue quest at vault 15, and made it to Shady Sands (but a city now). After I exhausted enough dialogue for my liking, I went west hoping to find Vault 13 since I played the previous game. Surprise surprise, it's not there, and I'm out of leads.
The game gave me a bunch of other locations, but no indication of which one should be my next target. I still don't have any armor, but at least I've got a desert eagle from the suicide cuck. sucks about whatever he blew up because the wizard of oz reference died trying to fix it, and I was already half way across the block by the time that happened.
It feels weird to say since the first game also kind of had a warped sense of balance when it comes to combat and dialogue, but I feel like this game is even worse in that aspect. It's just all dialogue, and combat usually doesn't turn out very well if you stumble across it. I made it through the rat cave well enough and killed the talking king, but then at vault 15, all I could do against the bad guys inside was instantly take 141 damage at level 5. (tried sneaking)
The writing and quest design feel kind of mixed besides. I'm starting to get a smell for Avelonne's writing style after finishing New Vegas, and Planescape Torment. Not sure what I'm misattributing to him, but every attempt at humor just makes me wish for a nuclear winter. And the writing isn't as deep or intriguing as I think it's trying to be.
It took kind of a while for Fallout 1 to catch me, so I'm being patient, but I'm about six hours in and still struggling to get a foothold. I get the idea of not feeling confident and comfortable in the wasteland, but I'm just trying to figure out what the game wants from me so I can meet it on it's level.
>>
>>559100590
I like the result but wearing a helmet in the portrait makes it feel pointless. Like other anons have pointed out, you could just find any generic helmet warrior portrait then, what about your character makes him a unique and heroic individual? That he's a faceless stormtrooper?

Lawful Evil

>Esoteric Ebb
I'm rooting for that game based on what little I played of the demo but that entire style of not!Disco is such a risky gambit because if you do not find the writing charming the prose for those games is the most annoying shit on the planet. Every Disco knock off (and I know plenty of people feel that way about DIsco to begin with) is the fucking worst because they do not have the writing chops to live up to that formatting. Really hope it's not dogshit this time.

Abelard is proof that's garbage. He's one of the major proponents for disregarding what happens on the lower decks and will advise you to not bother. Meanwhile Argenta, a Dogmatic, will tell you it's cool and trusting her leads to you handing out RT merch and supplies.

Puritan follows the Creed religiously. Radical are more "the end justifies the means". There a difference "schools" of Radicals, some of them don't hesitate to use xenos artifacts but do not approach anything touched by the Warp.
Pic rel is obviously Radical since she uses a drukhari blade for instance

origins/awakening primal-arcane warrior/battlemage in full dragonbone plate and using the meteor sword is the most fun build in video games. no other crpg captures that feeling of being a walking tornado.
inquisition is damage sponges and veilguard is shit. dragon age 2 just doesn't have fun options.
>>
>>559121797
Because there isn't much to talk about, it's fairly shallow as a combat RPG.
>Origins
Mages dominate the fights and the only time you'll struggle is probably when you're told not to summon a dragon and you still do so.
>2
Enemies drop down anywhere so any positioning strategy you may have is out the window. You'll spend the initial minute of the fight repositioning your mages and archers.
>Inquisition
Very basic ARPG. You might need to think if there's an enemy with infinite energy shield or just carries a shield and now you have to account for that.

that is a bad example since that is one of the causes where they dont force you to choose between two bad options you can save the child and stop the storm and the game even points you heavily towards the solution
