    Indie Call of Saregnar - a Betrayal at Krondor-inspired RPG

    I read the title of this thread as Call of Srinagar and was expecting an RPG set in India where your party gets poisoned by curry.

    Wizard's Crown

    I've also seen people say DoS is one of the best. The guy who writes CRPGAddict placed it in his top five or ten and there's a pretty thorough review of it on his blog. It's a strange game; surprisingly deep mechanically, but very much an early 90s low budget affair.

    In no particular order: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate II Planescape: Torment Dark Sun: Shattered Lands Pool of Radiance Nothing out of left field here. If I had to pick one it'd be the original Baldur's Gate since it appeals to the combatfag and storyfag in me in equal measure.

    What's wrong with naming sequels with numbers?

    He liked to stick a Minor or Major on the end. Pretty short-sighted numbering system if you ask me, probably why the third installment in the Hippias series remains in development hell to this day.

    What's wrong with naming sequels with numbers?

    There's nothing wrong with it. It's a tradition that stretches back to PLATO days and keeps things nice and simple so everyone knows what the chronological order of releases is. The real problem is when devs try to fix shit that isn't broke and confuse the world by deviating from the...

    Are You Going To Play Baldur's Gate 3?

    Nope. Didn't like D:OS and don't see any reason to subject myself to tranny pandering smut just because they slap 'Baldur's Gate' on it. I might have been willing to pirate it but that filesize is a dealbreaker.

    [Poll] Best roguelike and why

    Alphaman and Ragnarok should be on this list, even though I know the correct answer to be ADOM.

    Fallout Returning to Fallout

    Text parser is definitely the best dialogue system. I haven't seen it used in a game since Wizardry 8. I liked that Fallout implemented it but the hybrid approach meant that most players would ignore it. Devs must've realized this because I felt like they didn't utilize it to the fullest.

    Dangerous magic. Good examples?

    It has its tactical uses as well. Players with fire immunity will deliberately mix incompatible potions to blow enemies up.

    Fallout Returning to Fallout

    Did anyone ever play that Fallout II mmo? It was an incredibly janky fan effort but what was interesting about it was that was basically just Fallout II (same map, engine, graphics, etc).. but an mmo. This was circa 2000-something. I didn't spend a lot of time with it but I did get a kick out of...

    Dangerous magic. Good examples?

    ADOM. Someone posted on the forums saying they lost a char by holding down the A key to dump their inventory. After that it went into the Alchemy menu, mixed two potions together and blew them up.

    Arcanum. If it had decent combat and the post-BMC content was polished it would've been a contender for GOAT, perhaps second only to Ultima 7 if it had decent combat.

    Wizardry because it set the standard for the series which makes it more iconic, plus it's just a better game. Ultima I was a prototype that got retconned into the canon, and with the emphasis on dungeoncrawling, it's not a proper Ultima. Might and Magic I is the misfit here, it came out years...
