    KickStarter Telepath Tactics Liberated - deterministic tactical RPG inspired by Fire Emblem

    I'm curious, I haven't seen much about this game, but I've skimmed a few let's play videos after seeing this. 1) Is the class system like Final Fantasy Tactics (i.e., "generic" soldiers that can end up as anything) or like Vandal Hearts (this unit is a "soldier" and can upgrade into different...

    CRPG History Abridged - The Video Series - Episode 2 Albion

    I think it was great. I like the choice of Lands of Lore, too, because it's rather obscure to most people. It's not very useful to try and inform people about games that they already know about. EDIT: Just noticed you specified "obscure" rpgs in your title post, whoops. Good choice all the...

    Can you recommend me a game based on some criteria?

    Do you have a party in this game? I've never played it, but I thought it was more popular for the fortress mode rather than the adventure mode (which I thought was just an outdoor rogue-like essentially). I've heard about this series (at least the original trilogy) being incredibly difficult...

    Can you recommend me a game based on some criteria?

    It's been years since I've played Arcanum, so I could be remembering wrong, but I seem to remember the combat being kind of wonky and imbalanced, and not really a strong point of the game. I haven't played the other games you've mentioned (I played Fallout, though not Tactics). From what I...

    Can you recommend me a game based on some criteria?

    - Open world - Turn-based, large map, grid/hex, tactical combat with a party of characters - Character progression - Randomization / replayability in some form Let's say I don't care if the story is completely absent, and it can be any setting, although some sort of setting that allows for...

    Yes, I have a few of them, but I could probably utilize the brain detoxification and optimize them better. I think you're right. I was more wondering for the times I wander a bit, but I guess in those cases I should just fly back to town if I'm feeling too lost. I initially didn't realize...

    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    I didn't even think of this. You're absolutely right, thank you. There is, but there's no discernible difference between using it and pressing the 'm' key to bring up the auto-map, so far as I can tell. I'm almost positive they do. Cleric has 11 speed, Robber 15. Would a full roster of...

    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    A few MM2 questions: 1) Is there any way to tell which map section (e.g. A1) I'm on? Bringing up the auto-map gives me coordinates, like (5,3), but doesn't tell me which map section I'm in. I know a few off the top of my head now from using fly, but some times I walk around for a while...

    I completed a quest, turning in the 3 swords for 100k exp. That's.... 3 quests total I think. Goblet. Save the sons. Swords. And it only took me 165 days.

    Maybe I've just been unlucky, but he was dropping pretty bad items. I got a +8 ancient bow I believe that didn't match the alignment for anyone that could use it. I was trying not to grind, but I was having very little success exploring (I still don't know really what I should be doing, I...

    Oh you're right, he has a video near the end that says year 903. I think you're right. There are a lot of items I'm not utilizing much. I get maxHP potions, but I don't really know how to make effective use of them. It raises my max HP, but I can't seem to heal without resting, which removes...

    I haven't. I've found silver equipment, but no gold.

    So I found him, and managed to kill him using skill potions. I got a few levels. I didn't want to be too exploitative of this, so I started exploring again after these few levels, and a few equipment upgrades. I'm guessing it's the level scaling that's causing me problems, because I still...

    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    It sounds so simple, but I feel like I've hit a wall and stagnated completely. Monsters are either pretty easy and I'd have to kill tons to level up or they kill me in 1-2 turns. There doesn't seem to be any in between at level 8. I don't know where strong solo monsters are, and I honestly...
