Should I buy this? Saw the enhanced edition on steam and wondering if it's worth it, I have little experience with games of its nature except maybe Divinity which I had a blast with.

>>377649671
pirate the original

>>377649746
Did the Enhanced edition ruin or drastically change anything?

>>377647946
Undertale
Bioshock 1/2
Bioshock Infinite (kinda)

>>377649849
Theres nothing wrong with enhanced edition, having your mouse input not be tied to framerate is worth it alone.

They didnt put in any SJW crap. Give money to them for not being retarded if you want.

>>377649964
>They didnt put in any SJW crap.
That's the kind of thing you'd bring up on your own if there definitely SJW crap in it.

>>377648691
>Nameless One and Transcendent One
>Nier and Shadowlord
>9S and Number 9
Wew.

>>377650006
He brought it up because the baldurs gate enhanced edition got a bunch of sjw shit, same folks

>>377647946
>boss mocks you for dying to him countless times

>>377649671
EE is made for people like you so, yes.

>>377650006
They also did the Baldur's Gate remaster which included an embarrassingly bad fanfic-tier expansion that had a tranny in it, in a setting with relatively common gender-swap magic.

>>377647946
Somebody remind me why was he able to retain memory upon death?

>>377650101

I thought that the Enhanced Edition just added gay love interests, and it was Siege of Dragonspear that had the "have I mentioned I'm transsexual this conversation" NPC?

>>377647946
bloodborne (the hunter's dream is where your soul goes instead of death and you can walk out of there at will)

destiny (ghosts infinitely resurrecting you is canon)

>>377647946
Doesn't pretty much every game where you respawn have some sort of justification for it?

>>377651815
In game? No.

Prince of persia Sands of time.

>Wait a moment. That was not what happened

>>377651867
Alright. Name some that don't.

>>377651925
Space Invaders

>>377651925
Halo
Call of duty
Mass effect

>>377652012
You don't respawn in any of those. The game just reloads the last checkpoint.

>>377650237
>in a setting with relatively common gender-swap magic.
I love how DnD nerds counterpoint isn't "I hate transexuals" but "we never had this because gender-swap magic was already in it and people were already allowed to roleplay as a girl(man)"

>game comes up with a justification for respawning
>nobody ever uses it because quick load is simpler

>>377650245
Losing his memory after a death is either random or during an extremely severe death where his body gets obliterated or something.

I'm guessing it's the latter and when it happens it marks the end of one of his "incarnations"

>>377652068
>hurrdurr semantics

we're talking about games that reload you to a certain point and do so by reincarnating you. If these games didn't have death justifications they'd act just like the other games that anon named

>>377652365
It's not semantics. There is a pretty big difference with quickloading the last save/checkpoint upon death and doing what system shock or bioshock do with the revival chambers.

>>377650245
>>377652262
One of the incarnations managed to make so Nameless would keep his memories after a death but that could only works after a few more deaths.
The game begins after the last needed.

Surprised nobody mentioned destiny

You're literally a space zombie that can keep dying and getting revived by the lught of a space magic god orb

borderlands 1,2 and the pre-sequel

>>377653173
Speedrunners use this one all the time

>>377652116
But I've never seen a respawner used in a speedrun of this one...

I guess it helps that in System Shock 2 you can outright break out of the map.

>>377647946
Souls games obviously.

That's part of why Planescape is so awesome. The plot justifies game systems well.

Bioshock 1 and 2

Marathon doesn't have an explanation per se, but treats you as this unknowable horror for it. Best metanarrative in gaming desu
