Why are INT characters always more powerful in RPGs? STR or DEX based characters struggle to beat late game bosses while INT builds simply one-shot them with their stupid magic. Is there some sort of conspiracy going on in the gaming industry? Do the devs really favour magic over physical?

STR - DEX for games with actual combat

INT for RPG where its mostly just stats and effects your worried about

int usually benefits from a wide arrange of shit while str and ex just make you hit harder. there are of course exceptions of course like in a couple of megaten games, physical skills dominate magical skills.

melee characters are usually the default easy mode characters so they have average effectiveness, magic characters usually have more advanced mechanics to take advantage of.

I think the idea is that mages are weak early and mid game and strong late game, while warriors are balanced for each stage and knights would be strongest early etc

The problem with this is unless the gameplay is designed in such a way to make physical combat interesting over a long period, pure melee characters become boring in 30 minutes whereas INT mages generally have more flexibility and can do not only direct damage but utility and other misc actions thus being more interesting.

Magic is impossible to balance without making all the classes very similar, because they have damage + battlefield control + possibly magic defenses as well

Risk to reward.
For STR characters, you can safely get away from most threats with enough strikes and endurance.
For INt characters, you need to plan out what you're going to do or be witty enough to talk your way out of the situation in order to survive. Normally this means you can instakill anything with proper prep time, but if you fuck up you fuck up bad.

Too much powercreep. Authors made Wojak too OP and there was no where to go from there. It was pessary to reset the universe to keep it fresh.

Str,Dex,Int,Luck....Yeah. Those stats are alright I suppose. But Will will always pull through with you in the end, it is literally the stat of heroes and main characters.

Even Guts is recognized more by his Will than his Str/Dex
>>
>>376883249
luck is the stat of main characters just as often as Will

if anything moreso
>>
>>376883441
Only if your character is a gimmick character it'd be the main stat, but yeah Luck is probably the second most important.

Well, think about this. Which one would hurt worse: Getting hit with a sword (while likely wearing armor), or getting set on fire and cooked alive inside said suit of armor?
>>
>>376855838
STR and DEX based characters are for casuals and normalfaggots also shitty 12 year olds for instant gratification. Everyone with a shred of taste knows INT is where its at.

Personally, I think spiders are inferior to scorpions in every aspect similar to all arthropods, and the fact that the spider is even as closely related to scorpions as they are is a crime against nature, reality, and pretty much everything.
Also, I'm not a scorpion.

Basically, STR/DEX based characters eventually reach the limits of human physical capabilities. INT based characters have no limits once they master magic.

>>376855838
Only idiots play warriors in video games, it's just brute force so it's the least interesting archetype.
Rogue have more interesting gameplay mechanics, and Wizards even more so.

I think it varies from species to species but it's not really a complex thing like if you put your hand on a hot stove and reel it away you know never to touch it again, a bug is more like walk onto a hot stove, immedietly scram because of danger and might run into it again.
