Just started playing this and it's so fucking boring.

The gameplay is great, but if you're referring to the shitty wacky story and writing, no. In fact, it only gets worse.

Play an actual RPG like Pillars of Eternity, Underrail or Shadowrun Dragonfall.

>>388462296
>Play an actual RPG like Pillars of Eternity
hahahahahahahaha

>>388462296
>pillars of eternity
You almost got me friend.

>>388462131
Idk, enjoyed it. You just have shit taste senpai. It's the best tactical RPG to come out in years, name a better one, I'll wait.

>>388462131
the game does have a slow start but if you don't like the combat now you probably won't like it later; and there's a lot of it

>>388463609
>>388463983
hes right though, aside from the combat dos is arguably the worst of the new wave of crpgs

>>388462131
It's another one of those gets-good-eventually games. This one's not too bad, though. After about five hours I was having fun.

>>388464204

>aside from the only thing that matters it's bad

>>388462131
No, it's trash I got memed into playing it aswell.

>>388464204
Even the combat ended up being boring after i completed the Cyseal area and the game has nothing else

Is there a chance I'll like the second game if I dropped the first one?

>>388464436
>Quests, map design, and npc interactions don't matter in an RPG

Okay

>>388462131
CRPGs suit a specific taste. You have to be in the right state of mind to enjoy them. Theyre not games for hurry up assfaggot achievement unlockers who only have fun with flashy things are happening. If you cant take your time and get immersed you might as well just uninstall it because the genre is not for you, and thats fine. But dont come on /v/ and call D:OS a bad game, especially the enhanced edition.

>>388465214
Second game removes the "wackyness" that pervaded the first game. It also males different magic type much more unique. It's also way fucking harder.

I like it a lot more.

>>388465474

If you think Original Sin is a bad game then fuck off back to pubg.

>go play Cod argument

Is that your argument? Are you 12?

What he says is the story, lore and dialogues of DOS are terrible even for Larian standard. There are other cRPG more well written. It's not about turn based.

>>388465474
>>388465879

You two are a couple of sensitive little bunnies. Are CPRG lovers always so easily butthurt?

Play it with a friend, you loser. It's amazing.

>>388462131
I bet you are so retarded that you dont even play echanted edition. Hell, I doubt you even play the game considering you used a generic google image instead of screenshot.

>>388464436
this is why modern RPGs are shit

>>388462131
The only thing D:OS has going for it is the le wacky combat.

>>388466703

Guess what, plating Fear 3 with a friend is fun too. It doesn't remove the fact it's terrible by itself.

The argument is that you dont have to play a game in order to make a stupid bait thread.

>>388462131

There's a point from a little before the middle of the game to the last level where combat is pretty fun, especially if you try doing things with different abilities and the environment. The last level is kind of boring though, especially the final boss.

This is honestly 100% not bait. I loved Pillars, Underail, all the old fallouts, BG1&2, yet hated Original Sin.

>>388467871
>I loved Pillars
>hated Original Sin

wew

>>388467871
Pillars felt more like wasted potential and cut content compared to Original Sin. That fucking fort shit was totally balls, one measly encounter and all of a sudden half of your buildings are gone.

>>388463609
>>388463983
I always see Pillars hate from OS fans. Why cant I enjoy both? Is this Crpg wars or something? My Crpg is better than yours shit?

>>388468110
>That fucking fort shit was totally balls, one measly encounter and all of a sudden half of your buildings are gone.
huh?

>>388468170
The Stronghold. Even if you maxed it out, any random bandit group that decides to invade your shit and you resolve it you end up damaged.

So you can't make a partner in the new game? Damn, I wanted to make a Lizard team.

>>388468268
Yeah it was garbage but it got patched

>>388467871
i couldn't get into underrail or original sin because the characters and story and world didn't really interest me in either game.

>>388468010
I could never getinto Original Sin, I always get board after Cyseal and hated the plot of it.
>>388468110
I only played 3.0+ with white march 1&2 installed which fixed alot of problems with everything apparently.

>>388468334

You could always get four friends and play co-op.

>>388468375
It didn't do much, half the time shit still falls apart.
All I fucking want is a reinterpretation of the cancelled The Black Hound project. Is this so hard, Obsidian?

>>388468268
I never once had my stronghold damaged even after they added all the additional content in a patch

You just suck

RTwP is the worst. You could plug in a JRPG battle system like from Star Ocean 2 and it would improve everything.

ITT faggots that never chose auto resolving the conflict which usually ends up with walls destroyed and buildings razed to the ground

>>388468268
I have never experienced this, did you auto resolve it as the hired guards are completely useless while the fights are easy to do manually?

>>388468809
And story. And characters. And lore.
It looks pretty but thats pretty much it.

welcome to crpgs son

then what the fuck is the point of even having guards in there if shit just catches fire anyway
might as well have no guards whatsoever and just force your party to travel back there

>>388469209
What's bad about Numenera in terms of gameplay mechanics aside from the SJW marketing pitch that didn't net them any sales at all.

>>388468110
If you want wasted potential and cut content attack Tyranny rather than Pillars. Though I can understand why it ended the way it did. Had it continued it either would've been overwhelmingly massive from all the different paths you could take, or become extremely linear compared to the rest of the game, which would ultimately make players feel like their choices didn't matter. A thought which goes directly against one of the major aspirations.

>>388468809
The combat was perfectly servucable. And this is coming from an OS fan who loved the combat

>>388469098
I mean thats just like your opinion man. A wrong one at that. Pillars was great.

>>388468680
yawn

>>388469342
Tyranny can go get fucked with a cactus, I had that shit out of my mind and you had to fucking remind me, like holy shit what were they even thinking when they made that game, quick cash grab?

They patrol the road so visitor and tax collectors aren't bothered by bandits

>>388469469
I thought it was pretty good and accomplished what it set out to do. That doesn't excuse the anti-climactic ending and sacrificing game length for replayability though. At times I felt it almost did the meaningful choices thing too much. Almost everything you said would piss off somebody and that got old fairly quickly. Other than the fairly different paths and consequences the game was a step down from pillars in every single way.

>>388469161
They help you out during the battle of Yenwood fields too which is very helpful on higher difficulties.

>>388469738
>accomplished what it set out to do
It completely failed in what it set out to do, or at least what it promised it set out to do

>You play in a world dominated by evil bureaucracy
>Your choices matter

>LOL NO MATTER WHAT YOU CHOOSE YOU'RE THE CHOSEN ONE AND FIGHTING AGAINST THE EVIL OVERLORD

Thanks a lot, Obsidian, you stupid fucks

Pillars of Eternity is much better than Tyranny. Tyranny is shit.

>>388469738
>muh lenghts
That's how you end up filling your game with garbage content just to please the retards who needs their 20 hours game to last 50

>>388469848
I 100% agree but am still cautiously optimistic about the upcoming dlc

I dont know whats wrong with me

>>388469331
I actually liked most of Numanuma but I found that there a still bugged quests in it that will never be fixed.
Also the fact that party members only gain xp with you means Rhin takes 1/4 of the xp with her when she leaves

Who /seeing how obsidion improved uppon Pillars 1 and acknowlaged its short comings like with factions and shit exited as fuck for Deadfire/ here???

Why must we have these CRPG wars? Cant we all be happy for eachothers different tastes?

Harebrained Schemes is doing pretty well in this niche market since they're making a new Battletech and a Wasteland 3.

>>388469848
You can fight for one side or the other, go neutral, or join the rebels. What would've been meaningful choices for you then, just staying a fatebinder for the Overlord and doing fuckall?
>>388469990
Nice argument. I never said a game should be long to be long. Just as a game can be too long, it can also be too short. Especially when they start giving you the power of edicts, making other archons submit, and tease a huge battle to overthrow the Overlord only to roll the credits.

>>388470084
i backed the physical collectors edition

0 regrets

>>388468268
Are you talking about PoE? How is it possible for your Stronghold to get damaged? I didn't even know that was a thing.

I've been invaded by random shitters a few times, but they've never really done much damage and they're easy to shoo off (just a little annoying).

>>388467871
Nigga, pillars are definition of boring. All those unnessary fights you had to plow through that yielded liretally nothing just so you could explore the map.

>>388470084
I find happiness in complaining. It's because of my Jew blood. You won't understand unless you've seen Fiddler on the Roof where he complains to God, which is pretty entry-tier to getting into the mindset of a Jew.

>>388470008
The upcoming DLC isn't even set after the cliffhanger. It's Act 2 content. It changes nothing.

>>388470084
>>388470230
I put a 100 bucks in it. Loved the first Pillars and I'm in for a nautical one.

>>388470275
If you didn't fight trash mobs, then how are you supposed to advance levels? Make each encounter meaningful or like mini boss fights?

>>388462131
its the old /v/ meme, "if its hard its good xddd".

>>388469990
I don't think this applies to Tyranny rather than the never ending Original Sin which didn't have any decent story motivation to actually give a reason to continue

>>388462296
>Play an actual RPG like Pillars of Eternity, Underrail or Shadowrun Dragonfall.

Shadowrun is barely an RPG.

>>388470275
Not if you find the combat satisfying it aint!

i had alot of fun with pillars so its hard for me to get into the mindset of someone like you.

>>388470519
More of an rpg than divinity that's for sure

>>388470530
>fight this pack of lions and repeat several times

>>388470504
What levels? You didnt get experience through combat.

>>388462131
How do most of your fights go? Just describe them.

By the way if you don't have one spellcaster the game is pretty fucking boring. I don't know why nobody mentions this.

Man, I'm so hyped for OS2.

OS1 was by far the best game in the past 10 years for me and maybe one of my favourite games ever.

This is gonna be gud.

>>388470530
I thought I was the only one who enjoyed PoE combat.
Its like everyone played OS and decided if it aint exactly like that its shit.

It takes a while to get all the mechanics down but once I did I enjoyed it alot more.

>>388470741
That's exactly what I want to know. So how did they do level advancement to get out of the skinner box mindset?

>>388462131
dunno OP my friend and I had tons of fun with this game, but we intentionally tried to do ridiculous shit that the game wasn't telling us to try. Like in the first town there's a locked door that your supposed to teleport into after some story progresses, but we didnt know that so we spent an hour attacking the door until it finally broke...we would try to kite zombos into town to either get the guards to help us, or to get the guards killed so we could take their loot and sell it for more money, things like that.

And if you dont find killing skellies with a box full of random items using telekinesis fun, then im sorry but you are a horrible person

>>388467871
im on the same boat as you except for underrail

>>388470775
melee at the start is the worst

>>388470954
reminds me of Ultima, Dransik, and all those MMOs that were based on Ultima
RIP

>>388470741
Yes, you did, but only until you defeated x amount of certain types of enemies.

>>388470638
The only times trash was really noticable for me was on the Endless Paths. Are you counting every fight on a map tarsh? Would you prefer just bosses abd mini bosses?

>>388470530
>>388470845
I also enjoyed PoE's combat. For reference, I think stuff like Underrail and Divinity: Original Sin is funner, but PoE's RTwP was a nice change of pace.

>>388470954
>we spent an hour attacking the door until it finally broke

>>388471330
you think that's long, I attacked locked doors with a two hander and kept repairing until the door was busted
took a long time but I would do it again, because the game lets me

>>388471330
I did this as I had no lock picking character so I cast about a hundred fireballs on it instead

Thaos did nothing wrong.

>>388471478
>you think that's long
I think you're a retard

>Just started playing this and it's so fucking boring.
have to admit that I'm in the same boat
while the game has a lot of cool shit in it (with stealing being both rewarding and fun being my favorite part), it's just so boring for some reason
normal fights take a pretty long ass time to finish, the story isn't really captivating and the "build freedom" meme I bought into led me to making a battle mage which sucked ass
sincerely hope it gets better now that I've found councillor Jake but I won't hold my breath

>>388471596

>>388471849
>Its a perfectly reasonable thing to do
Well they say autists enjoy repetition

>>388471330
My buddy and I had to do this at the end of the game because the boulders that are supposed to get out of your way to let you in to the final area when you have enough blood stones or whatever bugged and didn't do that. It took like 20 minutes of hacking away and repairing.

>>388472143
>t. Someone whos never had a friend to fuck about with in a game and pushed some boundries, no matter how tedious, just to see what would happen

Its ok it does sound rather autistic.

>>388471137
No, it was for filling bestiary entries. Which meant you literally never got exp for humanoid races. Despite those being the most challenging. It was stupid.

>>388471697
I'm sorry but it's only going to get worse from there on out
Also the 'hybrid class' that they suggest with the defaults are so bad its not funny
Even better is that any hybrid that isn't full one class with one point in hydro/geo to heal/summon is going to get more gimped as the game goes on

>>388471137
>>388472542
Which meant that unless you weren't targeting different resists you wouldn't even get all the exp there was to get.

>>388462131
its terrible at first but if you find the courage (i know its hard the beginning is really shit) to pass the first city, its gets good. not great but good enough to be played

>>388462296

>divinity is hard

the fuck nigga ? people actually say that ?

>>388470275
wtf is an ''unnecessary fight'' ?

Trash mobs aside Pillars had some fun/interesting/challenging bosses and encounters like all the archmages and all the dragons late game and raedric early game etc.

>>388472609
>different resists
what?

>>388472779
Shit trash fights that have no reason for existing other than padding.

>>388472834
oh you mean 99% of every fight in every rpg ? got it

>>388472830
Fortitude, Will, etc. Did you play the game?

>>388472826
Forgot the ending to my post:

Are there any fights that compare in OS?

>>388472931
No anon, obviously if you get one iota of xp then the hours of tedium in the 'rpg' make it completely worth it

>>388472979
I never realized you needed to target the resistance to get more xp, it just seemed automatic when you killed enough of them

>>388472687
> ?
Go to bed Pierre

>>388473108
if the enemies in pillar just gave 1/10th of their actual experience but with no cap people wouldve never complained about any of this, lol

>>388472834
Ok so on a map there would be like 6 "encounters", a wolf pack here, a bandit band there. A witch with some blights etc. Would you have rathered this forest to be empty? If you cant hack the difficulty or find combat tedious put the game on story mode so you breeze by them.

>>388473295
>Would you have rathered this forest to be empty?
Yes

>>388471596
I hope Thaos is back for Deadfire if you dont destroy/imprison his soul.

>>388473295
I would prefer for there to be 2 encounters which are actually worth my time instead of 6 shitty encounters I could beat on autopilot.

>>388473295
>>388473529
I think numanera did this slightly better in some areas by giving more npcs or interactive objects instead of enemies

>>388467340
Holy shit what a read. You're a god.

>>388473665
I agree with you. I hope Obsidian have listened to this for Deadfire (white march indicates yes they have listened)

>>388473549
Depending on how long has passed since PoE1 he could still be a child, if he was born at all
