Like, it is a goddamn classic that did what it did better than most things.

>>180037360
I think I saw it on GoG. I'll take it.

I don't suppose it's still played online?

>>180036934
Mental Breakdown breaks line of sight, which means if there is only one enemy and you cast it on him, you can exit combat immediately. But if you don't, combat will still automatically end after the second turn. Which means your combat cooldown and Mental Breakdown both end at the exact same moment. It's a very easy mistake to forget about this in the heat of the moment.

>>180036934
Any incapacitation effect that also makes the enemy lose sight of you ends combat.

That's because you are technically not "in combat" if there is no enemies who see you.

Although I'm fairly certain I have done this before, I decided to retrace the steps of our only person who has reported a mutant sighting, and 100%'d everything that can be 100%'d before venturing into the depot. To the shock of absolutely no one it didn't result in anything unusual, but at least we can cross some options off the list.

I'm leaning more and more towards random encounter. Was there anything on the guy's screenshot that could be any kind of help? Was he playing with classic exp? Unlike him after doing everything I was still only level 10.

>>180023647

Lack of an ending bothered me too so I made my own headcanon.
Fran is dead the whole time. From the start of the game, Fran is possessed by the demon and kills her parents. After she is killed by the doctor, she is sent back to the human world as a "spirit" or someone who can travel through realities. The demon realizes that he fucked up and tries to kill her but she escapes to the tree-reality. Eventually she travels to meet the Mother where it tries to show her how she died to trap her in despair, but then Mr. Skeleton and tree-dragon save her and kitty.
Also, I think some of this was explained in the journals
The dark creatures (Kamalas?) are humans that have fallen into despair. The light creatures are the dark creatures who have been "saved" somehow. Fran meets with tons of other types of spirits.

The first half of the game was good, but it went downhill pretty quick after going to the super happy fantasy land. That part just threw off the tone that the rest of the game had set and then it continued to get wackier with the spaceship part.

There's no plot per se. Everything depends on what path you take, what guild you choose, etc.

> People are fighting for dominance
Pretty much. That and some lovecraftian horrors shenanigans in the background.

>are you necessarily fucked up the moment you kill Paullus?
A little. Antidas, Gaelius and Meru were the 3 lords of the last 3 noble Houses.

House Daratan was already dying and stopped existing the moment I put a bolt through the throat of Antidas, his city taken over by Imperial Guard.

House Aurelian ruled by Gaelius stopped existing (literally) once I blew up the entire city.

House Crassus stopped existing the moment I put a bolt through the throat of Meru possessed by a lovecraftian horror, his city also taken over by Imperial Guard.

That leaves us with Paullus, the supreme leader of the Imperial Guard in control of the last 2 major cities. The thing is I awakened a lovecraftian horror/God that wanted to rule the world through a human proxy and Paullus was the only candidate. He refused so the God made me kill him.

Add the fact that the entire Imperial Guard clashed with the mindfucked army of the God and that leaves the world in ruins. The only things left are the God with no proxy to rule through and barely any humans left alive.

I basically made the world as shitty as I possibly could and died in the process.

>Dude...
What else do you suggest to use? IGN? There's a lot of negative reviews saying that the game is unfinished and devs abandoned it, I think that makes a good enough impression.

>>180102631
Vulture is just a GUI for Nethack, quite ugly to be honest

It's not a puzzle game or a killing game, it's a rogue-like. I guess you could call it a killing game because you kill enemies in it, but you do the same in most other games so it's not a very good description.

>>180103396
What I mean is that compared to Diablo, you're supposed to use items a lot more instead of just killing everything in your way?
And now I realize I never actually played a real rogue game.

>>180103539
If you want to play a roguelike, play Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. It's the most consistent and clear.

>>180103664
DCSS is the most overrated roguelike.

>>180103940
No it's not.

>>180103940
You misswrote Darkest Dungeon.

>>180104193
Yes it is. It's not abad game, only severely overrated.

>>180104519
Not a roguelike or even -lite.

>>180104707
True. At least rogues games don't fuck you up over random crap. But would you deny the fact that it's overrated?

>>180105072
You're just trying to trigger our DDanons, aren't you.

But true, considering that it's basically newsground flash game tier and has over million copies sold, it's extremely overrated. One has to wonder what makes it so popular.

>>180104519
You're trying so hard

>>180103539
I guess? The primary mechanics in this game is still killing enemies.

There's just a lot of diversity in terms of effects and actions you can take outside of combat, though.

>>180103664
Crawl has less depth but also less grind and less stupid deaths. Also Crawl has a lot of quality-of-life stuff like macro support and autoexplore.

But I'd still recommend to start with Nethack because it's depth is fun.

Anon I don't think you know who Celerity is. The guy is legit mentally ill, there is no point in answering him other than to give him satisfaction. The fact that he has 1337 hours in the game should be a good clue.

For every valid point he makes (and he does make a few) there is a dozen of invalid ones or straight up lies/baseless accusations. Have you seen his posts on rpg codex?

>>180108873
>So you're dragging his personal life in something that has no relation to it
No, I'm dragging in his opinions on the game posted elsewhere. This is very related.

By the way, his steam review has only a few valid points. The vast majority of it is either wrong or deranged.

>>180109241
>his steam review has only a few valid points
Points that are never adressed because you're all too busy trying to prove that he's a horrible person because if he's a horrible person, then there's no need to adress the grind or the RNG, right?

>>180109353
>Points that are never adressed
They were adressed on the original forums.

The thing is Celerity doesn't care about his feedback being taken into consideration, he demands the game to be just how he wants it to be and gets salty when confronted with reality.

> there's no need to adress the grind
Adressed, see Radiant Mode.

>the RNG
There is nothing to be adressed here, it's fine. See all the people who beat the game with no deaths.

>>180110013
>They were adressed on the original forums.
So they censored his review on Steam and only answered him on their own forum.
Gotcha, senpai.

>Adressed, see Radiant Mode.

>There is nothing to be adressed here

>What is that?
Look itup yourself, I'm not here to spoonfeed you.

>Are you actually retarded?

>>180110289
So your only defenses are "it was adressed" and "one player managed to do it".

You know of these Kaizo Mario hacks? By your logic, they're great games, since people manage to finish them.

>>180110451
>So your only defenses are "it was adressed"
Considering you said "Points that are never adressed", this is a pretty good defense.

>one player managed to do it
No, multiple people managed to finish the game without deaths, excluding the 2 near-mandatory ones at the end.

But keep trying to stack bleeds on undead/bringing a Leper to the Hag/not retreating after hero gets killed and then screaming about RNG. Bet you think Texas Holdem is gambling, too.

>You know of these Kaizo Mario hacks? By your logic, they're great games, since people manage to finish them.
Don't attempt analogies, you are terrible at them.

>>180110867

This is why Darkfags are scorned. You are unable to address any issues, all you do is yell at people and insult them while repeating that other people smarter than you already "adressed these", while carefully avoiding to provide any source other than some obscure forum.

It's hard to adress something directly when all you do is throw vague stuff like "RNG" and don't know a thing about the game as demonstrated by not knowing what the Radiant Mode is.

How about you educate yourself first, then point an exact issue to be adressed?

You don't win/lose games in Texas Holdem. The concept of losing/winning a single game is completly inapplicable. It's a long term game.

You can win a tournament, which boils down to earing all the chips that are evenly distributed between thousands of players. If it was pure gambling then winners would be purely random each year as well, yet it's always a small group of professionals who make it to the final table, often the same people each year.

When is multiplayer coming out

>>180112876
>How can you make a game that you don't win or lose?
The entire point of Texas Holdem is to make decisions that have positive expected value.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_value

Example: Imagine a coin flip. If it's heads, you get $5. I it's tails, I get $5.

Here it's quite obvious that none of us is going to make any profit or lose anything on average in the long run. You have 50% chance of winning $5 and 50% chance of losing $5, making the Expected Value equals 0.

Another coin flip: if it's heads, you get $10. If it's tails, I get $5. Now you would have to be stupid to refuse to play, wouldn't you? The EV here is positive (5) for you and negative (-5) for me. You win $5 on average while I lose $5 on average.

As such, the right decision for you is to play while the right decision for me is not to play. Let's assume we played 10 games. You had incredibly bad luck and lost all 10 games.

Does that mean you "lost" and I "won"? Maybe in short term. But this is a long term game. Would you agree to another 100 coin flips, (assuming you really just had back luck and the coin is not rigged)? I would if I were you.

Texas Holdem operates on the same principle but with other factors involved. 2-7 is the weakest hand in the game, therefore it's usually the best decision to fold it immediately. Two As on the other hand is the best hand so you want to bet as much as possible before other cards show up.

2 A's can lose while 2-7 can win. This is not important. The important thing is if the decision had positive EV. Play enough games and you will come out on top.

This is how professionals win tournaments, they know when to bet and when to fold. It's not just bluffs, as a matter of fact bluffs are a rarely used trick that only works on other professionals who know the game well. You can't fool a fool.

The only way to "lose" is to make decisions with negative EV and running out of money, or making such a huge bets that you are pray to short-term luck.

>>180114868
That sounds like the kind of game you'd see in the Witcher.

And it makes me want to stab you.

It's almost sad that Pillars of Eternity is really a roleplaying game and not a tactical game.

>>180113634

In that game, he's a ranged support who poisons the enemies and sometimes heals his friends.

I have tried to catch up with your escapades, but I might have missed a few posts. How did you even get your AG reputation that low? What triggers that game over? Have you managed to beat that body count record in the end? Or have you just settled for a more symbolic one?

Either way, well done. But wasn't killing all three gods the plan?

I know it's not indie but it might be slightly obscure (because it's not very good), but I've booted up Viking: Battle for Asguard

I really want to enjoy the game, it has a comfy concept, but it controls like ass and one of the most broken, half-assed ports I've seen. I'll probably have to drop it.

>>180118069
I don't have ammo issues on most runs, but when I do they're generally only on the last stage. I feel like a guaranteed ammo shrine on Bullet Hell would be a better solution.
I think the bigger problem is that you're stuck using your starter pistol for the first 5-10 minutes of each run, easily longer with bad drops or if you're going for the oubliette. Giving the player a mediocre gun for free early on or adding an Eden-type character or gamemode could be possible solutions.

>>180119130
I remember that game. Yeah, I couldn't make it very far before I got bored.

>>180119073
> How did you even get your AG reputation that low?
Betrayed them in Teron. Later killed Hanza in IG questline in Madoraan. That and 4 CHA. Betrayal is really the only thing that matters, makes you reputaion and loyalty go ridiculously low.

>What triggers that game over?
Kill Antidas
Kill Gaelius
Kill Meru
Wake Agathoth, accept his offer

> Have you managed to beat that body count record in the end?
Nope.

I wanted to at start, but later realized I just to want to be as much of a dick as possible. Nuking Madoraan was a must and that made me miss quite a bit of kills (Arena, Bassar thugs, Harran Pass battle, etc.) so I couldn't do both. I'm happy with the result though.

>Either way, well done. But wasn't killing all three gods the plan?
It was the plan when I stil lwanted to beat the bodycount record, but you can't kill the Abyss demi-god if you want to nuke the city and you gotta join Agathoth to get that ending. Killed Balzaar though.

>>180119284
The real fuckup is not giving every character (except maybe Pilot) a starting weapon that consumes ammo, while leaving pistol as only a last resort.

They also should have made the ammo drop algorithm, function specifically based on ammo consumption, with a penalty for missing.

>>180118069
>>180119284
I haven't played it for too long but I think the game just needs less random chest system, if I recall correctly the game keeps spawning blue chests even on floor 5, while red and black chests are just very rare, and if you get one early, you may or may not run out of ammo for the gun before getting to floors 4/5. Also maybe remove brown chests from the game completely and give away D-rated guns on the first floor or something.

>>180120129
That's actually how it was originally, if you look at some of the really early footage of the game. Even the Pilot's starting weapon was pretty decent. No clue why it was changed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjtMUFdWZ8A

A penalty for missing seems annoying, especially with shotguns/scattershot and the like. I'd rather ammo drops just be made more consistent, you shouldn't be able to go through an entire floor without getting at least one. Making ammo guaranteed in the shop and lowering its price slightly would help as well.

>>180118069
That just pushes the problem to the next step: Good guns is so rare, that it becomes the next complaint.
It guns became good, it wouldn't change that the enemies and shooting mechanic is horrible.

Ammo system essentially allows things with 10-15 realistic shots to exist. Which is a good thing. Just like how Nuclear Throne has Super weapons which can't really conserve ammo.

>>180119851
Interesting. Didn't know it was possible to just walk into the guild building and attack them after betrayal. Anticlimactic death screen aside, that's really cool.

>game over
Oh, I think I get it. Paullus accepts Agathoth's offer because answering to a god is better than answering to a politician. But if you remove all three lords from the picture, he has a shot at securing top position for himself, and no longer wants to be someone else's puppet. Is this it? Fucking sweet.

What happens with the mad Abyss god after you release it? Despite all the chaos described, it's strangely missing from that ending sequence.

Speaking of chaos, I have a lore question. Is there any route, ending, side area or anything where you actually get to meet a Quantari? Why have they left after the war? Their scheme was pretty successful all things considered, so why retreat back to their homeland?

He doesn't answet to on one man. All lords are dead, he's Dictator Paulus now, he runs the entire world (or what's left of it considering Madoraan is gone). It's quite in character for him to try his best to keep that position.

>What happens with the mad Abyss god after you release it? Despite all the chaos described, it's strangely missing from that ending sequence.
I will post the ending screen. Once you wake him up he finds the thoughts of all people in the city so annoying he just wishes them out of existance. Same happens to everyone who gets near the ruins of the city. He just keeps napping there I guess.

>Speaking of chaos, I have a lore question. Is there any route, ending, side area or anything where you actually get to meet a Quantari?
No. You can find a painting that shows both Quantari and the Magi together and come to the conclusion that they had to be working together but that's it. Also the notes in Al-Akia. They are black if you are wondering.

>Why have they left after the war? Their scheme was pretty successful all things considered, so why retreat back to their homeland?
I don't think they just left. They arrived via fleet and it was most likely destroyed in the war. Logs found on Pax Imperium suggest that it nuked quite a bit of Quantari ships.

Thanks for the screenshots. So I assume he gets to be dictator if you kill/don't wake Agathoth?

Vince must like Paullus, because I don't think anyone else gets as many endings in the decent to good range as him. Teaming up with House Aurelian is good, becoming dictator is really good, his "you had me at 'raise an army'" reaction to Agathoth's offer in the ending where he accepts it is good. If your worst personal ending is getting a sword stuck in your back on the battlefield, you are a natural winner by Age of Decadence standards.

>They are black if you are wondering.
They are? I thought they were basically faux-Mayans.

Too bad though, I was hoping there was something more. Guess we'll have to wait for the sequel to learn more about them.

>>180125674
>They are? I thought they were basically faux-Mayans.
I think they are a mix of a few different cultures. It's not like the Empire was exactly like the Ancient Rome either. The club you find at Al-Akia is a macuahuitl though, a weapon used by mayans.

True, but big Empires tent to be like that, and it was a mix of Roman and Arab, which is consistent with the real world Roman Empire that expanded to the Middle East as well. Possibly some Germanic/Scandinavian too if Einar is any indication, then we have the not-Mongols to the east, and the not-Chinese to the far east, and the Quantari who came from a faraway land beyond the seas.

You can finish those quests after you return if you wish, only the Institute and Faceless related quests can't be continued once you descend. Deep Caverns has enough experience for about two and a half ~ three levels, so you don't have to worry too much about leveling opportunities. We had an anon not that long ago who went there early on his first playthrough and still managed to beat it with his level 18 character.

>>180127974
I've got about 17 mods from Workshop in the latest version loaded and I've never had a crash or anything of the sort. Just my experience though. Even without mods it's pretty great, albeit frustrating as hell sometimes.

It can be, but it usually isn't. It all depends. But it doesn't hurt to go there prepared. There is one resource in particular that is very scarce, health hypos if you can't craft them.

>>180130662
That and W2C ammo. You can buy some but not much.

Antidotes if you are hostile to Faceless as well. Lots of them.

>>180131213
Antidotes show up as random loot at several place, but special ammo is really rare. You get a few rounds in the warehouse, one of the lockers in the toxic storage also has W2C and JHP, but only a handful of each caliber, and you can find some more on skeletons, and maybe some weapon shelves. But yeah, if you depend on it it's best to bring a lot.

Why do you people keep saying RW colonists are retarded? In my experience their AI is very predictable and quite manageable through colonist settings and colony design. Plus you quite literally have full control over them with draft mode.

>>180145048
They have some blatant optimization issues, such as walking all the way across the map to get a bit of wood for part of a project when they could be picking up an entire pile while they're in the area.

>listen to a few tracks from OneShot
>a few minutes in start feeling an overwhelming sadness and have to stop

Every single time.

>>180144080
just set up some mortars near the edge and if they start trying to rush you be a cheeky fuck and retreat off of the map

>>180145215
>They have some blatant optimization issues
The reality is literally the polar opposite, it is very well optimized. It's your usual A* with some clever performance optimization tricks.

You have to understand that pathfinding for a game like that is expensive and sacrificing edge case accuracy is to be expected because it can yield huge performance gains. All these factors are perfectly manageable in RW/DF. In your case the closer wood pile was probably inaccessible at the moment the pathfinder made the calculation. or the wood was already assigned to someone else.

>>180146596
A simple option to forbid non-stockpiled items for anything other than hauling would do a lot of good. It's not an issue of pathfinding so much as the game prioritizing inefficient tasks unless you manually set them to haul.

>>180147426
>It's not an issue of pathfinding
Mostly true, but the pathfinder does not guarantee optimal paths and has issues with certain edge cases. It's also very exploitable for enemy pathfinding, but so is every other game where you get to alter the map.

>the game prioritizing inefficient tasks
False. Choosing an inefficient task as the last resort rather than doing nothing is not a prioritization issue. Now this is the point where I should start autistically screeching "git gud", because honestly that's all there is to this: Learning the game's systems and adapting to them. That is normal gameplay and there is nothing inherently wrong with the relevant system implementations.

Are you guys hyped for Grimoire?

It's been in development for 20 years and is supposedly one of the biggest dungeon crawlers ever made.

Probably confirms actions so you don't get screwed over if you clicked the wrong thing and accidentally use your best arrow on some rat.

You can forget about switching factions ever again, no one will trust you enough with -10 loyalty. Other than that, nothing.

>That free Critical Strike 3 and Alchemy 2 is just too damn juicy to pass up.
That's not even the best part. The best part is +15 ranged from Fulvio. It's such a huge fucking bonus it's basically mandatory for ranged combat builds.

You will also get the 10 dodge/10 melee training from practicing for 3 days after killing Antidas. 15 SPs worth of crafting in Madoraan. Make it to Caer-Tor and you will get another +10 in ranged and +5 dodge.It's a really good path if you want to be the best you can be.

>>180160214
It's free money once you figure out how to kill it.

Just focus on killing the collector himself and try to ignore the spawns. If MaA starts guarding the collector, stun him.

Your team looks like it's not very at dealing lots of damage to rank 4 so you will probably have to retreat.

Yeah, it looks like you're going to have to run.

Click on the white flag in the upper left corner. If it doesn't work try again on the next turn.

Once you are out of fight click the flag again to abandon the expedition. You have no way of finishing like this.

>>180161878
aite. so for leveling up this new party, is it best to do short/medium/long dungeons? are they any easier/harder or any different, besides the length?

>>180162080
If this is your first time playing the game, you should stick to doing short dungeons for now so you can familiarize yourself with the mechanics and monsters.

You should avoid doing long dungeons, since you only have limited inventory, and it's usually filled by the the end of a medium dungeon.

>>180162080
enemies are the same, they're just longer. there's higher difficulties, but you'll meet those later
longer means that you'll need to either take less damage or bring more sustain(both health and stress), but camping abilities help with that
You shouldn't have any real trouble handling a medium

>>180162080
It depends. Short tend to be easiest but least profitable. Medium/!Long tend to be harder but you will earn more money/deeds per run and you can camp to restore health/stress and use camping skillls. Good camping skill selection can make long dungeon even easier than short in some cases.

Exploring 90% of the rooms is by far the easiest and most relible mission type. Clearing all rooms with fights in it is more RNG-dependant. Collecting things/ activating shrines is the worst as it takes up valueble inventory slots.

>>180141358
>even though the game advises against hybrid it appeals to me so I split between my diplomacy and combat
Praetors are the best for that but you are going to struggle if its your first run. If you insist then focus on persuasion and streetwise (or persuasion and etiqutte), one weapon skill, one defensive skill (block or dodge) and some points in critical strike. You were warned.

>everything going pretty well, almost die to a gang of hobos
It's a piece of cake for dedicated combat builds. It's only going to get worse.

>I guess that's alright?
Yeah. I don't think there is a better outcome for House Daratan in Teron.

The extra bonuses you get from collection/activation quests can actually make them worthwhile, depending on your circumstances.
>collection quests in the ruins make the abbey free for a week
>those in the warrens make all provisions free for a week
>the ones in the weald make the sanitarium free for a week
>the ones in the cove give you a free weapon upgrade
>all activation quests give a +33% XP and +15% damage bonus on your next quest

>>180141358
That's nice and all, but it got me thinking.
How would you implement changes like that in the game if you wanted to show, instead of telling? Having the NPCs talking about it?

>>180145048
Gee I wonder.

Celerity said it was apparent the game is shit after 5 hours. Then he proceeded to play it for another 55.5 full days.

ftfy

>>180171664
Hey, remember Starbound? Steam says I played it for 9 hours, when I actually never played more than one.

Wanna know why? Because while it was in Early Access, there was a bug that kept the game opened even after you quit it. You had to pull a Ctrl+Alt+Suppr to close it completely.
The faggot in charge of that shitty game later used the playtime as an excuse that "our game is great, since people play it", never adressing that oh so convenient bug.

My point is that whatever bullshit the Darkest Faggots pulled, it's not worse than what Chucklefuck did.

True, but everyone was aware that Starbound was crap. Darkest Faggots still has deluded fanboys blinding defending it, even when everyone acknowledged it's RNG crap mixed with endless grinding.
And the devs never adressed these issues, they just flagged all negative reviews and forcefully removed them while banning all critics from their hugbox.

No, even Starbound had fanboys defending it. Even when it was proved that none of the assets used on the Steam store was actually in the game, there were still people to defend it.

what if he just left the game open to get 1337 hours instead of actually playing it :thinking:

I wonder if he's going to put a few hundred more into the expansion.

And the best part? Those health hypos are made from the blood of rats, dogs, frogs and fishes.

Or maybe store-bought hypos are made from human blood and our protagonist is simply too demented to interpret the recipe and is protected only by his snowflake chosen one powers from killing himself with his crafted hypos.
