i never understood the draw to mount n blade. it was disengaging from the start for me, cant even get through the char creation
>>386257827
>western RPGs
>turkish, russian, polish and czech developers
>>386257827
Coming out in the next few months. From the Risen and Gothic 1-3 developers.

>i never understood the draw
The combat system. The kingdom building. The battles. The sieges. The roleplaying. The ability to make a career of raiding and looting and not bother with all the kingdom stuff. It's good shit.

I'm really looking forward to Deadfire. There was a good game in PoE 1 somewhere, but it was buried underneath the weird attribute system, the lack of meaningful unique/soulbound items (with very few exceptions, just stacking enchantments on an ordinary weapon gave you better performance than uniques, very rarely were the special gimmick effects worth worrying about), the dull story delivered in a an un-engaging way. Oh yeah, and the fact that there's no combat XP after the first few kills of a certain enemy type, but you encounter millions of them anyway, it's a conflict of design philosophy. If you're going to remove XP grinding through combat, then you should make combat an awful lot rarer than what it was and with better designed encounters. I still really enjoyed it but there was so much that could've been done better. The addition of multiclassing and subclasses coming in Deadfire makes my dick hard too.

It's a lil' meme around here to say trinity and name more or less than three things.
It's just unfunny enough to barely look like a joke, so I can't really blame you.
If you are new, expect most things here to be mildly funny at best at all times.
What is the difference between an ARPG and Action Adventure game again?
>>386258915
IMO, how much work the developer puts into the control scheme. It's a fine line though.
>>386257578
friendly reminder that Mountainblade isn't a RPG.
>>386258751
I've been on here for several years actually, I may have taken the bait this time but as you said this doesn't even sound like a joke

such a waste

Wut?
ELEX (Eclectic, Lavish, Exhilarating, Xenial) is an upcoming science fantasy themed action role-playing video game developed by Piranha Bytes and published by THQ Nordic for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows.
The Xbox One cover is just the first one I saw in decent quality when searching.

Regardless of OP's ability to count, I am so fucking hard for Original Sin 2. Gonna RP to the maximum as an Undead and only take Necromancer skills.
>>386258184
looks pretty rough
>>386259483
Friendly reminder that is more of an RPG than Skyrim or Witcher 3
>>386257578
That's like saying Witcher is a WRPG because Poland is clearly not Western Europe
>>386259906
99% of pc games are only on windows
>>386260128
Doesn't take much, still not a RPG.
>>386257578
>Bannerlord
Was never a fan of the series, but it looks sort of fun so I might end up checking it down the line.
>Divinity Original Sin 2
Amazing wRPG that unfortunately lacks direction from what I've played of the (pirated) alpha build. If they actually provide a good narrative, I might also return to this.
>Pillars of Eternity 2
I have no fucking idea. Killed some mook in a keep halfway through number 1 and I lost all willingness to play further. 2 looks better in some aspects but until I've play I won't have any way of predicting if it will "click" like Torment, BG or any Fallout games have.
>Kingdom Come:Deliverance
Must play. It looks clunky in some very minor ways but Vavra has never disapponted me yet, plus it looks absolutely fucking gorgeous.
>Cyberpunk 2077
Must play as well, but we still know absolutely nothing about this one. I've never seen my hype evaporate over a single night but it might be the case with this if they fuck it up.
>>386258184
I'll give it a shot (pirated, of course) but I don't expect anything close to Gothic 1 and 2 levels. The last objectively "bearable" thing they've done was Risen, and all that did was remind me how much I fucking hated G3. I'm predicting I'll quit 1/3rd of the way through this.
>>386258728
>the ending
this
it was a good story for me but they did not make anything with it
i thought they would make something, maybe telling it to the world or anything, but they did nothing with it
Deliverance is the only game in the near future that I'm actually excited to play.
>>386258009
Slav Magic
>>386260812
For Divinity OS2 what do you mean by "lacks direction?" From what I played it was pretty straightforward, escape Fort Joy by any means.
>>386263792
It lacked any sort of overarching narrative that would push me forward and keep playing further.
>>386257578
>all medievil shit
jrpgs it is for me
>>386263972
>DivOS2 is super high fantasy
>Pillars of Eternity 2 is 1700s style piracy with fantasy races
>Cyberpunk 2077 is fucking obvious
Kill yourself
>>386258469
You will be able to "play" the best part of 2077 on youtube.
>>386264216
I can't wait to watch the wolf among us season 2 on youtube, its my favorite series
>>386258184
it looks weurd enough to maybe buy honestly
>>386258009
western devs were killed by SJWs and corporate greed. Slavs are the only hope for the future of gaming.
>>386264216
Stay mad fromshit
>>386263972
Sorry my friend but you are mentally retarded.
>>386258009
>obsidian
>any of those things
>A sports game managed to be the best RPG of the year
Get your shit together nerds. This is supposed to be your home genre.
>>386257578
Wasn't the Pathfinder game cancelled?
>>386258184
But Piranha Bytes are pure shit after Night of the Raven.
>>386260025
What's the word on undead? I've been unable to find anything recent on it
>>386259483
How is Mountainblade not an RPG though?
>>386257578
>RPG garbage
Is there a worse video game genre? Even MOBAshit is more engaging and requires a few functional braincells.

Can't wait for Bannerlord and Cyberpunk 2077 (hope the protagonist is not female else i'm not playing), what about the others, are the first Pillars and Divinity any good?
>>386257578
>most are sequels
No lol
