Whats the fucking point

>>385328263

Witcher 3 is shit, I agree
>>
>>385328154
>how much you can carry is tired to the strength attribute
But OP, that makes sense. How would you have them do it? I prefer to play mages too, but it only makes sense that weak characters should not be able to carry as much.
>>
>>385328324
If it is shit why are they remaking it for the ps4? I just wish they would add the bosses they cut out. Or make a sequel

What does that have to do with the game being shit? Are you fucking retarded?
>>
>>385328293
Divinity does this and it's pissing me off. Why even be a witch? There are other spells, sure, but rebuffs are the majority.
>boss has extremely high elemental and physical resistances
>is immune to charm and mute
>has a ridiculously high willpower and is essentially immune to debuffs
Granted, this is not every boss and this game is still a ton of fun, but bosses with long chip damage fights are not great.
>>
>>385328154
I hate pretty much all arbitrary inventory limits. Yours is probably the worst but don't forget
>grid based inventories
>small inventories that require rare items to upgrade
>item limit is based on number of item types instead of number if items
The last is the absolute worst when it doesn't work properly and you have room in a stack but it doesn't let you loot it because you're capped on item types
>>
>>385328154
It's usually somewhat balanced by the fact that low STR classes wear lighter armor. Just dump anything you don't need in a bank and travel lightly.
>>
>>385328457
Tie it to an endurance stat. How much you can carry over long periods is more about fitness than overall body strength.
>>
>>385328546
Name one game that does this.
>>
>>385328836

Yeah Final Fantasy and SMT do this all the time too. Its just annoying because it doesn't really encourage experimentation.
>>
>>385328935
Dragon's Dogma, but carry limit isn't tied to your character's strength but rather their height and physique.
>>
>>385328929
This is mostly true, but /k/ and /fit/ will both tell you that strength is essential to this. Strength is how much you can carry. Endurance is how far you can carry it.
>>

Why would they remake a shit game in 1080p and higher resolution then? Are you delusional?
>>
>>385328154
>strength is decided from the start
>no way to put more points into it
>every guide just tell you to reroll until you get a high strength, doesn't matter if everything else is shit

I dislike companions in video games. I get in some cases it's emulating a tabletop party or a squad of soldiers but at best they still make you weaker. Often you have to deal with retarded ai/mechanics in addition to making you weaker
>>
>>385328293
Baldur's Gate is horrible with this.

like half of the spells in the game the enemies can roll to save vs. spell and ALL of those spells are therefore useless because they'll never effect anything that you wouldn't stomp anyway.

Shit sells well to the lowest common denominator. Just the nature of mass market products. People who really give a damn about quality are ultimately the minority.

>>
>>385329278
It's a shame for late game wizards. You can pump out major damage but you can just throw on two AC spell buffs and just auto attack everything if you're multi/dual classed with fighter as well.

I ended both games thinking why I ever even went wizard when I just didn't use spells most of the time.
>>
>fastest travel speed consumes stamina
I hate this. I should always be able to move at top speed. Make it consume stamina in combat if you must but let me run around the fuckin city.

>best weapon drops from the hardest superboss in the game

Skill-tree is locked behind s quest/boss battle.

Just fucking give me the option to work for what I can. Stop bracketing my content.

Single class mages/sorcs can still pump out ridiculous damage with time stop / shapeshift, or project image strats (or summoning planetars, using energy blades, etc) but it's just a shame that so many of their spells are completely useless.

The best is mage/cleric -> triple lower resistance into triple implosion

The Witcher and Horizon are fine games but they're not RPGs.

This is why games have pack mules
>>
>>385330372
Oh yeah I don't argue the power of mages, it's just that I can be as efficient doing almost nothing with one or two buffs and a fighter.

But where's the fun in that? I did like some of the stuff you could do in late game, especially in 2.
