What do you mean? I've religiously played every Bioware game up to Inquisition! I have played the very best of RPGs!

Isn't there any moderation out here, this sentence deserves a ban for at least 2 or 3 month (years ?) :fight:

Kotor 2 has terrible mechanics and combat. Stop using those drugs man...

I honestly don't know how you can see this obvious truth so clearly, but defend the exact same combat model in the IE games. Kotor actually had more options too. Please explain the differences that made one good and the other clearly bad.

For starters, KOTOR1 is like 5 years after BG1. I don't think that the combat systems are really that close. In BG you have a party of up to 6, and the lethality is much higher, everyone who has played it knows it. I'll always remember how you can clear the boring, repetitive final stages of KOTOR2 spamming Force Wave. You can't do that in BG or IWD, you have to think a bit.

In KOTOR2, too, you can practically turn your whole team into Jedi, which helps them. In BG or IWD, a rogue was always a puny rogue and had its specialized uses but wasn't an all-capable combat machine.

I think that your whole argument is built upon "hey, KOTOR uses something like the d20 system, it must be the same as AD&D2!". No it's not. Even IWD2 is not the same as the rest of the IE games.
Don't forget you are talking to a master retard that claims that he can do battles in BG2 with tactics mod just by letting everyone auto attack and can prove it but he does not want to link the proof.

It is pointless, it is like arguing with a hobo drunk on the street that is screaming that world is ending.

So, you have no actual, substantive points. Just more spewings?

I really love this shit. You are a popamole shill that isn’t even smart enough to realize the BG games had the same fucking combat as the Kotor games. You are severely lacking in anything coming close to actual intelligence and consistency and you really think calling me retarded hurts my feelings?


You, and the swaths of retarded kids that make up the modern nuCodex community, calling me retarded is as impactful on regular people of normal intelligence as AntiFa calling someone fascist, or a school full of paraplegic children saying Bruce Lee is bad at Kung-Fu. I wear all your retard buttons and derision like a true badge of honor. I would have it no other way. The last thing I want is retarded, popamole loving storyclowns looking up to me or liking me.


You have cripplingly low IQ, you have pure papamole storyfag taste in rpgs – and even worse than that a greatly inconsistent papamole shit taste that somehow sees imaginary differences in games that are equally easy and papamole. You literally like zero games that have had good, adult combat that requires thinking and anything close to actual effort.


You are a low T, low IQ, little girl-boy basement dwelling virgin that hasn’t said anything that makes a lick of sense since joining this site. That the tastes and preferences of this site have so degraded since I joined that you are now the majority voice doesn’t make you right or smart or have good taste. It just highlights how far this site’s community has degraded.


P.S. Your mother is a filthy whore and your father left you guys because you are a huge disappointment to him and would be to any other male with enough testosterone to generate sperm. Every time you make a post we are all stupider and may God have mercy on your popamole loving down syndrome-soul.

Ah, another one of those "there have been no RPGs since [arbitrary date]" threads. It's been like, what...two weeks since the last one? Anyway, if you're looking for a solid mix of:

art-storytelling-mechanics-music.

Then people forgot to mention Expeditions: Viking. Decent looking art that highlights the cultural differences between danes and different groups of pre-Norman conquest British peoples, interesting and believable storytelling, fun TB combat while listening to pleasant and thematic music. An often forgotten piece of :incline: that checks all boxes and yet surprisingly few people here actually played.

There are no good games, period. Not just RPGs.

Exaggeration of course, there's still some incline. But good games are few and far between these days. Denial of this and the superiority of the past is ignorance. The decline is very real.

Oh God this made my day! This post is hillarious man! That burn! I love nerd fights!

Seriously though, you are right about nu-Codex. Filled with retarded kids who wouldn't be able to discern a good RPG if it hit them in the head. But who are we "grandpas" to argue with them?

Brofisted for truth... The decline affects the whole industry, not just RPGs. The video game industry is steadily turning into a massive online casino for kids.

Yep. It makes me so sad when I think about how kids today are growing up to think that this is what video games are supposed to be like.

I hate to break it to you all but both those games sucked with a capital S.
