>Good idea Allow players to choose dialogue that they'd actually want to say whether it be good, evil or neutral aka any RPG worth its salt
>Bad idea Force the player to play someone that at worst, can only be chaotic neutral cause the character is still a good guy that can't do anything bad aka Witcher 3
>Good idea Having character stats that define your character and allow for non violent approaches aka Fallout and Planescape Torment
>Bad idea Being forced to play a single set character that does nothing but sword fight aka Geralt in Witcher 3
>Good idea Being able to roleplay a character of several races, genders, etc aka Dragon Age Origin and Morrowind
>Bad idea Despite the lore saying otherwise, force the character to play only one character aka Geralt in Witcher 3
>Good idea Having multiple characters that fulfill multiple roles your main PC can't aka Baldur's Gate 1/2
>Bad idea Being a multiclassing Mary Sue aka Geralt in Witcher 3
>Good idea Having Batman vision in a Batman game
>Bad idea Having Batman vision in a non-Batman game aka Witcher 3
Playing a self insert with no personality doesn't work as well as you think and you're more likely than not the chosen one. Learn to appreciate different kinds of story telling.
Robert Wilson
Lemme show you how it's done OP.
>Good idea Make a post about pointing out flaws in RPGs
>Bad idea Use it to shitpost about one game you don't like
Asher Adams
This. TW is a VN
Nathaniel Evans
It's not Batman vision. Its highlighting intractable objects in the environment. Why you would attach Batman to it is beyond me, since Arkham isn't the only game to employ it, nor the game to first introduce it.

heck
Luis Lopez
nice exception.
Joshua Cooper
>selfinsert >the courier When will this meme fucking die. He has as much backstory as Geralt does FFS.
David Brown
Literally every RPG features a "silent protagonist with no personality"
Adam Hernandez
A really big problem with non-violent approaches is how they limit other playstyles. Try to play PS:T without dumping everything into WIS and you'll see what I mean
Ryan Barnes
>Having multiple characters that fulfill multiple roles your main PC can't aka Baldur's Gate 1/2 You realize that approach doesn't work for every RPG, right? It's also asinine to use BG as an example of characters fulfilling roles you can't when you can literally fucking multiclass into everything you need or just go Kensai/Mage and shit all over the game.
Brody Moore
>You realize that approach doesn't work for every RPG, right?
OP mentions games like Fallout or Morrowind
Liam Lopez
No one cares what you think though ahahaha just dont play the game if you dont like it you sound like youre being forced to play it :)
Camden Williams
you realize that geralt is a pre-established character from a book series, right?
he's not intended to be a blank slate for you toplay as your edgelord, kill-everyone self insert you humongous faggot
Henry Garcia
>Good idea make an all around good game like Witcher 3
>Bad Idea make a game with great dialogue but has incredibly shitty combat and gameplay outside of conversations
Carter Davis
>you realize that geralt is a pre-established character* from a book series**, right?
*a shitty character **from a shitty book series
Jason Davis
>i cant refute this point so ill attempt to redirect the conversation by shitposting
Gavin Collins
Is it really so hard to autoban all these threads or the IP of OP?
Benjamin Wright
have they said if they'd make more witcher games? not starring geralt of course since now his story is over but set in the same universe
Jack Russell
Great post that adresses absolutely no point the post you responded to made.
Cameron Stewart
I think the point of Witcher is that you're not playing your own character, you're just playing a character that's already been dealt to you you know, like most games do! It just happens to have a setting that's more common for RPGs than other games
Hunter Walker
I'm just baffled he shit on W3 for having you be a 'multiclassing mary sue' right after praising Baldur's fucking Gate for the opposite.
Alexander Harris
>Literally every RPG features a "silent protagonist with no personality"
This is literally not true. Literally learn to use the literal word literally, you literal moron.
Ayden Hernandez
So OP isnt into the witcher 3 then what a pointless thread to make and no originality either
Jayden Perez
It's been an year and people are still mad. The Golden Age.
Andrew Thomas
Cause BG penalizes you for being a multiclasser
Alexander Bailey
t. literal cuck
Matthew Hernandez
any half decent VN has more routes than W3 ending slideshows
Jonathan Sanchez
>babby's first try at shitposting
apply yourself
Xavier Taylor
yeah, the penalties for kensai/mage sure hurt
Brandon Ramirez
>witcher 3 >not an rpg
Samuel Morales
Is zelda an RPG?
Zachary White
maybe just play a different game op
Lucas Cooper
yeah, sure, i can roleplay (as in role playing game) as geralt who promptly gives >yes >sarcastic yes >sarcastic remark
as dialogue options
I got that m8
Kayden Robinson
you cant make decisions in zelda
Liam Hughes
>not an RPG >you play the role of Geralt, the Witcher in a branching story where you choose which path you take, while leveling up your character and skills on the way
Aiden Harris
it is, you can roleplay as link
Matthew Reyes
Bad Idea: Playing the Witcher Series Good Idea:: Playing The Souls Series

Joshua Bell
>an rpg >you play the role of Geralt, the cuck, in a linear story (with basically no signfificant decisions, except a few ending slideshows) where you can't choose which path you take, as the devs chose it for you, while leveling up stupid stats on the way
Nathan Edwards
welcome to the reality of rpgs
Jaxon Green
tldr; tumblrinas are still asshurt they can't create a character in every video game
Robert Gutierrez
i never denied wrpg being a shit genre
Brody Jackson

Aaron Hill

William Davis
>Good idea Play 100% out of Witcher 3 and it's DLC packs and enjoy every second of it as it is gotyay.

Juan Miller

Brandon Diaz
Your opinion on the book series is irrelevant to this conversation.
