If you don't then you're kinda retarded. There's no point unless you're a range fighter. But when you're mellee it's different. Since there's no basic combat mechanics to force the player to take advantage of trading, blocking, and dodging attacks, all you do is simply attack and heal until you win.

In a game with basic combat mechanics you would just bait out an attack, then respond with your own since the enemy would be open to attack on whiff. In Shitrim there's no concept of whiffing at all. You could simply keep swinging without worrying about getting staggered and being put at a disadvantage on the next swing, leading to another stagger.

>>339798887
6 pack is the right one, it worked flawlessly for me (w7). Just make sure you install the fanpatch on top, it adds nice utility.
>>
I with RPGs were more like older ones in that you can directly ask about things they mentioned in their talks and learn more about the quest and world that way. Make it feel like you are actually talking to them.

Instead of just chosing a predetermined response.
>>
>>339798887
GOG has a pack for the first 6 games for 10 bucks. Just grab that. 3-6 are all worth playing. Get the grayface patch for 6 and make a music folder and copy the files in your sound folder to your music folder. I would also recommend getting the resolution mod that lets you play in a window at a resolution larger than the default one. For the DOSbox games you can get an MT-32 emulator for better sounding music.

Or you could attack and avoid getting hit in the first place. Lack of complex mechanics have nothing to do with my observation that these suckers just let themselves be hit! You CAN dodge attacks by just not being there when the attack animation completes!
>>
>>339798953

That shit's expensive and by proving nobody cares about Might and Magic you'll never get a new one

>>
>>339798953
Pre-6 would've been fine if they had a decent budget.
>>
>>339799168
Because staggers almost never happen, you can keep on swinging even after whiffing. NPCs do this, so there's absolutely no advantage in baiting attacks since you'll just get hit in the next swing anyways. Baiting in skyrim and oblivion is a worthless waste of time when you're simply reducing your damage output while taking the same amount of damage. The only time you should be kiting an enemy is when you have a superior ranged mellee weapon, or a bow.

The thing is, other studios have already released games in that genre fairly recently, and they were pretty good.

That's true. At least the new Bard's Tale seems to be trying some new stuff.
>>
>>339799168
>>339799529
But in the case of Oblivion you can bait out attacks if you have way more movement speed than the enemy. You can do hit and run tacktics only because of speed and athletics. But Shitrim is completely fucked in that department.

Oblivion also has staggering when you block attacks, which makes the combat a lot better. It's pretty good when level scaling doesnt turn people into damage sponges.

A lot of people don't understand the bits that make Undertale charming. They might be able to make a game that's superficially like Undertale but the meme-mix has to be spot-on for it to really work.

I really hate the 90's era PC game aesthetic. It's like western devs have no idea how to make appealing art direction. It's a shame too, since there are tons of great games from that time period, but they all look like shit.

It's not the lack of polygons or special effects, but they just have no fucking art direction. Even in fantasy and sci-fi games, where they could do anything they want, it's always "let's make everyone look as realistic as we can make them and then fill everything else with uncanny spritework and poorly textured 3D models."

Japan was the only country that gave a shit at the time. Go and look at something like Panzer Dragoon Saga. Released in 1998 on a system that could hardly handle 3D models, yet I still think that game looks great because of how wonderful the world design and art direction were.
>>
>>339803949
I don't like the aesthetic. Maybe if it was a game full of girls drawn in 80's anime style I could accept it as not being an obvious downside, visually, but then there'd still be the daft stories, and fuck lazy visual novel style storytelling.

Because systems. Good systems are much more difficult to design and execute than whatever writing you have. Shit, Ultima Underworld 2 still wipes the floor with most RPGs in that department. For it's time UU2 was a game out of this world.

Lack of marketing (it had very little hype compared to the first game)
Looked too similar and people assumed it was a rehash
Personally found the price too high, probably many other people did too

There was also the lack of surprise, Grimrock was really unique, while 2 was more of the same

I tried to play Baldur's Gate 1 but I had trouble getting into it.
