>mfw I cringe remembering when many people on /v/ (including myself) were hyping up the "return" and "new golden age of WRPGs" thanks to Kickstarter
>mfw all of them ended up mediocre and terrible
Let's break them down, shall we?
>Shadowrun (Dragonfall and Hong Kong)
Gender and race selection literally don't effect the game in a meaningful way
Linear as fuck
iOS menus and design
Terrible combat
Nobody uses the creation tools because the games suck
>Wasteland 2
No true role playing thanks to the shitty party system
No replay value due to the shit tier character building system
Energy weapons are complete shit even with the best ones equipped
Certain poorly designed combat sections make you resort to using LAWs and RPGs to win (the brothel)
>Pillars of Eternity
Lore dump dialogue
Bland and boring setting
Terrible, nonsensical balance (no combat for EXP but the game is full of trash mob combat)
Party relationships are complete shit (party members never do their own thing aka acting like real characters and not just your combat slaves)
Just die you muppet stop posting this

nostalgic retards want to experience those "great rpgs" when they were young but those games were only good because they weren't adults and they will buy anything as long it will contain "classic rpg" buzzword on a box even if those games are dogshit.
>>341150493
>Pillars of Eternity
>Terrible, nonsensical balance
There are some faults with PoE but balance is definitely not one of them.
Do people really think those games are terrible?
I honestly thought that they were some of the best WRPG's released and nearly as good as fallout 1 and 2.
>>341150493
Why do you keep posting this?
torment better be good ffs
>>341152223
Well it is but in the opposite way
They were so obsessed with making it balanced that all the fun powerful abilities got made dull
>>341152223
I haven't played it in a while but I think the psychic class used to be pretty OP. Also I wish the Druid animal forms had scaling, I remember them not being too useful later on.
Fun game though.

Just stop replying it's fucking bait I have seen this same fucking topic over 50 times now,
Divinity also kinda sucked. Combat was fun for the first 30 mins of the game when it's actually hard, then you get a billion lockdown abilities and wipe out armies.
>wow u r starchild super god
>go get this stray cats dick wet now
That writing...
name one good ROLE PLAYING game with a good main quest
>>341153296
Divinity tried too hard to be funny to the point that it got obnoxious.
I ended up figuring out early on that you could put barrels inside of boxes and then throw the box at enemies for ridiculous damage so that at least made it funny to play.
>>341150493
I kind of liked Dragonfall. It was the only game I could ease myself into. Wasteland 2 is bland as fuck and Pillars of Eternity just fell flat.
I love how these games play, but they could be so much more. I really do hate how monotone companions can be in these games.
>>341153479
Witcher 3 if you'll allow it
If not all the spiderweb games like Avadon, Dragon Age Origins, Kotor (sidequests were the weak part there) and the newest shadowrun games

Just as bad as barneyfag.
>>341153863
Wasteland 2 sucks because you have to assign a billion stats immediately
Without having any fucking clue how useful they are in game
>>341153479
Sunless Sea

stop posting this over and over again

The writing is good, the gameplay is repetitive and boring. They should have just written a novel.
>>341153863
this, Dragonfall made up for lackluster gameplay and depth with great atmosphere and storytelling. I found myself attached to the story/lore while Wasteland 2 (though better mechanically) bored me to tears
>>341154519
They said name a game with a good main quest
I agree that it's somewhat of a failure with the ship gameplay
>>341153865
witcher is just assassins creed for adults. You can't really role play as geralt
>>341152601
>>341154873
Dude every decision you make is roleplaying as him and you spend the whole game doing his job
It's as pure as you can get with a roleplaying game
>no one remembers this released
>>341155078
>>341153960
Why does he do this? Autism?
>>341155368
The creator being a massive dick for years was way more interesting than the game
>>341153479
Planescape: Torment
>>341155518
some angry autistic codexfag probably.
>>341155518
I can only assume so. Probably assmad that the devs didn't make the games exactly how he wanted them.
>>341155518
I have no idea what he thinks he's achieving either
I actually bought Dragonfall because every single one of these threads normally has a few anons saying that it's a pretty good gamewhich it is, thanks anons
>>341150493
oh, it's that pasta in which OP hasn't played any of the games.
Dragonfall is a hell of a lot less linear than Returns.
>>341151094
>>341152350
>>341152601
>>341153960
>>341155518
Its so confusing.
Like, is this a new meme many anons are doing?
Or is it just the same anon for like, at least 6 months now?
It never gets more than maybe 20 posts, and at least 5 of them are always people calling him out,
Its fascinating, really.

Pasta thread do not respond.
>>341150493
Is this a new pasta or something? I swear I've seen this same OP get posted multiple times before.
>>341150493
I laugh at you and all others wrpg are trash
>>341152556
>used to be
emphasis on that, because the lead designer actually cares about these issues and spent time (and still does) fixing these for way longer than is necessary for any single player game
and it wasn't even that bad compared to something like what Bethesda puts out that's completely broken and only gets worse with patches
