Alright, so Tyranny. Let's cut the bullshit.

>why are there women everywhere?
>why can't I rape?

Honestly now. What ending did you get and did you enjoy the game?

A lot of the gender politics in the game are taken from Wheel of Time, which I know the guys at Obsidian are fans of and even wanted to make a game of. That doesn't make it any less offputting than it was in WoT though.
Anyway game is mediocre in every regard so pretty much par the course for Obsidian.

>playing cuck games

It's one thing to add female characters but all of them just scream "look at me!!! I'm strong too!!!!" Fuck at least make some of them act like woman and not a load of zena warrior princesses

>gender politics
go and never come back

>waaaah women in my video games

>character creator
>select gender
>WOMAN are rulers of the lands. No man can ever hold land property.
>Man are rulers of the seas. No woman can ever be a captain of boat.
>dropped
Ayyyyyyy lmao. What the fuck.
Please tell me how does that make any sense whatsoever?
I'm legitimately asking. Seems beyond stupid to limit land to one gender and sea to another. Yet alone to let woman handle the lands lol. How would such a system ever come to be?

Because you're wrong.
They're inheritance laws, not ownership laws. Also, it only applies to the Tiers which is a nation of cucked men that you're liberating.

For real though. I may be a plebeian, but I fucking love The Wheel of Time and this is not much like it, in my opinion. Other than Aes Sedai be woman in power and there being a lot of woman.

Men and women are equals under Kyros's law where you character is from. The men in the Tiers have wanderlust and would go sailing or become adventurers which left the women in charge of the households. This led to the laws of inheritance where the households and lands were passed down to daughters while sons got ships. However, powerful men could own lands and powerful women ships.

You're invading the Tiers, which is the nation of cucked men. Kyros' lands aren't like that in the least. You learn this in the first thirty seconds of the game.

Fuck off back to hugbox over on Sup Forums

>>WOMAN are rulers of the lands. No man can ever hold land property.
Because the men are out fighting, basicly

I am enjoying the game but
>get my second Spire
>check the trainers
>only just realized that I could also pay to train my companions and not just me
>I am now 3 levels ahead of everyone because of my incompetency
I also used the Spire slot to get a Library because I'm sporting a full mage party and there's no master Lore trainer here which the Fatebinder needs now.

That said, as a tank/mage with light armor, should I just keep training my Dodge (I got the skill that switches Parry for Dodge and it's hella high now) or go with a mage staff/spell type?

How is the combat in this game? Any better than PoE's?

>I go to Sup Forums, I'm so epic xD

I assumed there were more women in the game in traditionally male only roles because the past 3 years have been filled with heavy fighting and the fantasy equivalent of 3 nuclear warheads being dropped.

>fishing economy
>men often at sea for a long time
>women take care of the marginal fields while bearing the kids and all that

>No man can ever hold land property
wrong
influential and rich people can own anything regardless of gender
only heirship rights are gender-bound

Inheritance rights are de facto ownership rights, at least in the long term.

That's probably why the Tiers is such a shithole. Kyros is only doing that place a favor by razing it to the ground.

A lot of people conveniently forget that. Also that thing isn't always followed. You know, kinda like how Muslims aren't allowed to own dogs but Turkey doesn't give a fuck and has them anyways?

Yeah but there's some nations in WoT if I recall where women have all the property rights and the men are cucked

You mean the Aiel? They area nation on the other side of the Mountain range in the east. They are basically ancient rebel Aes Sedai according to their history that Rand discovers. It stands to reason they keep the same hierarchy.
They still have Male Chieftains as well though.

As a mage tank, you should be buffing up your lore so you can cast mirror image with accents. I think you can get up to +200 to both parry and dodge with that spell which should help tanking

I thought you got the ME3 route and rebel against Kyros any way you slice it?

>be tank
>cast vampiric weapons on three companions
I have never felt like a legitimate boss in a CRPG before. The shit I do to these plebs, I have become the BBEG.

I only have Spectral Blur for now.

All you'll ever need. Defense skills are okay but having a huge health pool is better. All the healing is the game works off of percentages and you can get bandolier from the leadership talent tree to make it so that even minor health potions are healing you for half of your hp. The only enemies in the game that are a threat are bane, and they strip buffs so relying on things like mirror image or blur isn't as viable.

Better than PoE, but if you didn't like it in that game you won't like it in Tyranny.

Kinda. You can still stick with the same old spells and abilities throughout the game but you can actually mix it up for once as getting good/bad reputation, finding artifacts and with the talent tree, the game gives you the opportunity to be varied because of the shit ton of abilities it gives you.

>+200 to both parry and dodge
Jesus Christ.

They should add a few dozen concurrent enemies in the late game. It truly gets too easy. On the other hand, I don't know if there is a single underpowered build.

Too bad the only strong Bane are the two in the barriers.

Anything think Obisidian is going to have to shit a sequel or DLC fast thanks to the rush job ending?

I'm hoping that's the plan but I honestly wouldn't expect a sequel so soon what with PoE 2 being worked on. I'm up for DLC about marrying Kyros.

Not really.

Aren't those books really bad and have THE most insufferable female characters of all time that even feminists hate them?

Robert Jordan pumped the books filled with his domination fetish and stretched what should have ended with three books into 13. Take that as you will.

I can't fucking decide what to play as.

I started as a javelin guy but honestly it seems magic is the only interesting build.

Nah, if you do a jav guy, make sure to also get those nifty talent abilities in other trees. Martial builds are an animal of their own.

Just beat the game last night. Took the Spires in my own name and allied with Bleden Mark and Tunon. Killed off Ashe and the Voices, then gathered enough power to blight the whole Tiers in permanent darkness.

Does that mean it's permanent night or more like there's a dome of darkness covering the land?

>What ending did you get
I sided with the Disfavoured, killed the Voices and Bleden Mark, made Graven Ashe and Tunon submit to me.

>did you enjoy the game?
I can't say I enjoyed it enough to warrant having paid full price for it. The combat system was crappy and the game felt unfinished and lacking content. I'm playing the game with the rebels now and I can't get over how unfinished and poorly fleshed out everything is.

I honestly think that since the game is pretty low budget compared to PoE, it would have been better if they cut out a faction on focused on 3 factions instead of 4.

Anarchy part is the best because you don't get locked out of content arbitrarily. I dunno about the Rebel path yet. It's kinda hard to justify doing it. I'll try to figure out a character that can later.

>It's kinda hard to justify doing it.
That was my major issue too. It just feels incredibly random to just sabotage your own efforts right in front of your companions whom you just met. It would have been better if the rebels attempted to recruit the player on their own, making a good point for their cause rather than forcing the player to make some incredibly risky and stupid decisions in order to join their essentially lost cause.

How do I into unarmed Sup Forums?

One of the anons here seemed to have been happy with his plan of siding with the rebels in hopes of fucking them over and the game letting him do that. Tunon even comments on how crafty the Fatebinder was compared to Ashe and Nerat.

The game does apparently has some replay value, in my playthrough I didnt reach burning library

literally the only major character who really cares about "gender politics" at all is Eb, who's admittedly a pretty awful annoying character. no one else gives a shit, which is the way it should be in games with true male/female equality.

honestly this game handled gender pretty well, and it's telling that the only real criticism that people (on Sup Forums exclusively, mind you) can hurl at it is 'why r dere so many women in charge tumblr ruins everything'.

>What ending
Anarchist, I started with Scarlet Chorus but Nerat is a giant dick that I eventually plotted betraying him. Got both Tunon and Bleden on my side and killed Ashe and Nerat.

>Did you enjoy it
Yeah, not the best game I've ever played but I feel like I got my money's worth. I feel like I was misled, though, I wanted to actually be a Fatebinder and solve disputes on behalf of Kyros and shit, which you get to do but never on a large scale aside from choosing who leads the vanguard near the end of the game (and you can't even come out of that one on okay terms with both Ashe and Nerat).

Instead, the biggest dispute you get to settle (outside of the above mentioned event) are petty town disputes while you get completely railroaded into rebelling against Kyros and becoming the Chosen One.

Utter dogshit
SAGE

Some locations are arbitrarily locked for replay reasons. Not quite sure how to feel about it yet. At least they made a route that lets you experience all of 'em in one go.

>TRANNY
Are there actually trannies in this game?

which one is that

Which route that is? How to? I just played helping the Eb girl faction and I never had an option to go to the burning library

Explicitly? No.

But with a bit of imagination they are EVERYWHERE!

Anarchy.

>RTwP

Literally the worst combat gameplay you can have in a game.

I love real time with pause, as long as the maps/enemy formations are good.

All of you people thinking they'll make a DLC or a sequel that incorporates all of the choices you make in this game is deluding yourselves. Despite the ending, the game is way too branched. If they do make a sequel/DLC, it won't even care about your choices in the game. Kinda like how Bioware did with ME1/2/3.

RTwP takes the worst parts of ARPGs like diablo and the the worst parts of turnbased RPGs to form a steaming pile of shit.

I commend them for including the option but it all seems a bit ham-fisted to me.

should I buy PoE?

IT has more hours but I've never seen the point of having ranged party members the Ai just go straight for them, any good strategies to deal with this bullshit?

As with all video games: Pirate it. Then buy it if you like it.

in Tyranny you can bodyblock if you can get to a chokepoint, and they'll just run into your tank(s) constantly like retards and take free damage. can't be too different

This is less possible than it was in PoE, where the majority of dungeons allowed for it. The battles in Tyranny are more often in open spaces, and I suspect it's for this very reason.

bump

The engagement and disengagement rules are from PoE. People go after your range because your tank can't engage everyone until later levels or your taunt is failing. In Tyranny, this is obvious with Barik. The MC can tank better because he has a passive skill that just taunts everyone around him every 3 or 6 seconds.

The one where you choose to fuck over everyone especially since everyone is acting like a retard.

so is Kyros a dude, a woman? both? is Kyros two people?

The Hunter/Ranger got a bear to tank, and you got more teammates to soak shit up. I Managed to 2 shot the last boss with 1 crit hiting him for 99% of the health.

You are Kyros. The other one is just a pretender.

the enemies just run past the tank and attack my ranged guys, its pathethic

I had this issue at times but mostly it worked out well. It is an issue but it happens in almost all of these kind of games, I hear Wasteland 2 had the same issue and thats fucking turnbased.

They just dont give a fuck about disengagement attacks because they all have lots of endurance

They don't care about the opportunity attacks because a character's threat meter got too high too fast.

It's the same shit players do, focus fire on the mage/rogue instead of just sitting there fighting their tank.

>How would such a system ever come to be?

>Take viking society
>Make it even more naval focused
>Suddenly it's a tradition that women stay home while men go to sea
>Conservatives make it into law

wow that was hard

That's absolute bullshit. Kyros is just some random dude who claimed a tower before you and who just like you had a strong as fuck willsave.

Kyros is whomever's the strongest Archon of the Spires of the era. If she can only handle one Spire then she's should be shining your shoes instead.

Goddammit, now I'm fucking hyped for a Kyros vs Kyros for Tyranny 2.

>Kyros vs Kyros
That would be some straight up old testament shit. Throwing Edicts at each other?

Man what is better White March or Tyranny?
Should I replay Tyranny, or play White March?

>Every single skill check is so ridiculously low that you'll pass every single one no matter what

This is what the tards who bitch about Age of Decadence want.

When I studied history at uni, one of the coures you could pick was about Christianitys stories in the middle ages or some shit. Half of them was some crazy shit about wizard fights between witches/sorcereress and Believers of Jesus.

>Edict of "everyone in this goddamn planet is gonna die if Kyros doesn't marry me"
vs
>Edict of "giving you this spire not because I like you but because you can't even compare to my power b-baka!"

Play PoE as palette cleanser.

As a mage, I couldn't pass the subterfuge checks until I got other people to do the checks for me.

palette cleanser?

It's true. All of it. The templars. The witches. They're real.

Seems a bit peculiar since I was able to pass every subterfuge check. By the end my hardline wizard PC had something like 50 athletics and subterfuge because of the dumbass skill gaining system, which is by itself enough to cover 99% of all checks. I think part of why it's so shitty is because skill checks are all low as though they're built around a character's actual skill in something, but it doesn't take into account modified skill values (Stats and shit) which are far higher.

Got a lot of other bitching about the game too, but that one has stuck in my craw the most ever since I finished it.

If I go the Rebel path will I be able to get the Sages as allies or will I be locked out of going to the library?

I went rebel path and never go to go to the library, sorry man.

That's because as your companions do the checks, you all get trained. If you pass a check early in the game, it starts snowballing. Then there's a fact that all the skill checks are scaled to your level but they were too generous with it so you'll never find a skill check grossly out of your range.

>Got a lot of other bitching about the game too
I hate the fact that the game only has 10 skill hotkey.

About to do my second playthrough. Went Anarchy the first time through, thinking I'll side with the rebels this time. Which sounds best for a lawful good MC?

Sword + Board, Javelin-chucking Roman Legion commander with lots of team-based utility

Unarmed monk that specializes in disabling spellcasters and other backline units

I didn't like it, it's shit.
also the disfavored is the best faction.

I think the Unarmed monk sounds better for lawful good.

I had way too much fun with the Javelin build but the monk sounds nice for a change.

Thanks user. I wanted to get the Ardent of Peace through the Conquest choice so that's kind of disappointing.

You won't be saying that if you played the Bleden Mark faction.

No but seriously why are 80% of the world's population women and why are they all the same character?

The engagement system was utter garbage in PoE and they made it even worse in Tyranny. The whole idea of "aggro" is a stupid MMO concept that should never be present in a proper RPG.

I went rebels and was offered the opportunity to visit the scholars. I believe going rebels forces you to go to Lethian's Crossing first, then offers you the choice between going to recruit the Stonewalker beastwomen or the Undaunted. I went to recruit the beastwomen and upon completing that quest chain I received the option to go to recruit the Undaunted or visit the Sages at the library.

But then you get people like above whining how the enemies go after their low hitpoint units. Also, the trifecta has been a thing since DnD first started, man.
