Xana easy

I liked both, but I leaned more towards Xana. Also, why the fuck hasn't gog picked this up yet?

xana
wish this game got a remake or something
really want a "horde mode" where you have fight countless waves of enemies

Xana. Best girl all years, how is this even a question?

It's a pity you couldn't leave Leanna alive, though.

I liked massacring the students at the evil university >:)

>Save Leanna for skill points
>Kill her

Can't you run past her?

Why is it a pity? She told you to go purge best girl from your body. If you try to do so Xana will beg you desperately not to do it, and if you try to do it anyway she'll light shit on fire instead of going out like a bitch, still begging you to stop, and she forgives you instantly if you change your mind, which is what I did after wondering what happens if you do purge her.

I stepped outside, kicked the dipshit priest over the edge of the balcony, and killed Leanna without a moment's hesitation the next time I saw her.

Xana is useful to you throughout the game, literally saving your life at one point, and is utterly devoted to you. Leanna is boring and useless and not even that good-looking.

Fuck Leanna.

Leanna ONCE to get those cool fucking dragon weapons

then Xana forever, demon form was cool as fuck and shes my first boner

>>Save Leanna for skill points
>>Kill her
>expel xana for those sick ass dragon weapons
no thots allowed

God tier taste

>Can't you run past her?
I can't remember, it's been too long since I've played. I only remember her being hostile.

>Why is it a pity?
Sure, she tries to set you against best girl, but it's just her conditioning. I'm sure that with plenty of persuasion from you and Xana she could come to realise her place.
tl;dr it's a shame you can't keep her alive so you and Xana can keep her as a sex slave

Choking on my dick for eternity is too good for that whore

Also why would I ever be unfaithful to my precious demon waifu who is utterly devoted to me? I would want to protect her smile.

And nothing in the game makes her happier than killing Leanna.

>Also why would I ever be unfaithful to my precious demon waifu who is utterly devoted to me? I would want to protect her smile.
>And nothing in the game makes her happier than killing Leanna.
That's true, it is a very cute smile.
I think she would enjoy being able to draw it out and savour it, though, instead of just the quick rush of killing her suddenly.

Xana obviously

>You will never learn the arcane secrets to summon Xana

How do I play this game? Weapons do fuck all and spells use too much mana. What do I level up?

What kind of bizarre creature would pick Leanna

Xana FTW

neither.
went with red the first try with evil ending and went evil then xana with the good ending.
like how there's multiple endings.

love the stealth builds and playstyle in this game. I want a sequel to this game, but i haven't played dishonored yet.

Xana for Pick of Destiny ending

bcause there is no problem running it on modern machines

I honestly never even saw a person who actually preferred Leanna. Even if you think that Xana is a manipulative succubus (and she is) she cared for you for the entire game and you can still release the best dad and rule the world with him.

I wasn't even bothered by that decision.

The last third of this game is such an absolute catastrophe I just had to stop.
Firing 5-6 ghouls at the player every 10 steps is just pure bullshit and no fun at all. DMs biggest sin is its absolutely horrendous balance.
Which becomes even more apparent once you play it on expert, where it's basically impossible without cheap tricks like standing on fallen enemies.

I think the most broken enemy in the game is the goblin though. Those fuckers are WAY too tough for the numbers they are appearing in.
Hell even orcs are easier than those little shits. At least you can hit those.

Offensive magic is absolutely garbage too. It's not even funny. The only spell that's worth its salt is charm. Especially against vampire knights (which are also completely overpowered compared to the other enemies in the necropolis).

Gonna stick with arx fatalis. At least there the only unbalanced enemies there are Ylsides.

also fuck inferno - fortress is superior

Kick everything.

>offensive magic is garbage
t. never tried casting ice spells at the floor or tossed oil jars before fire spells

Xana is this even a question? Not only does she care for you but she wants you to keep best dad locked away and feels like you deserve to be ruling overlord instead.

>ice spell at the floor
That would be an option if drawing the sword afterwards wouldn't take like a million years.

>not using kick and throwable shot meta
It's like you didn't play the game like it was suppose to be played at all

I did and appart from kicking each and every single one of those things is about as useless as the light sword strike.

The only viable way to off an enemy safely (and without the use of conveniently placed spikes or gulches) is getting him on the ground and using the execution (whose controls are ambigous as fuck as well).

i loved the weapon designs in this game, it probably has my favorite daggers ever, the way they are held, look and feel is just great

it just sucked the base katana is so much worse than the one you find later in the game despite looking so much better

>kick is useless
kek

Not even a contest, Xana

...

The kick is honestly pretty fucking stupid.
If you just randomly kick someone, they will stagger for a second.
If you kick the same person while they are pointing at fire, or a pit, they will fly half way across the universe and ragdoll.

>reading comprehension
>you

pick one and only one

Wait a fucking second, that's doable?
Shit, need to reinstall.

The kick is overpowered af.
Or actually it's either completely useless or instant kill.
Staggering enemies don't even leave enough time to actually perform a proper follow up attack. Unless you are using the light strike which is again completely useless.

The game's really unbalanced. Not saying it can't be entertaining at times, but this shit really drains the fun out of the last few levels.

Xana is a a traitorous succubi and disobeyed Dad.
Leanna is ok, but I gotta go unleash ancient evil, nuthin personnel.

Bros before hos.

>thinking a cunning scuccubi bitch actually loves you
Rookie mistake.
She wanted to eliminate your father out of the picture then become queen of the demons while cucking you into submission.

>Not going all the way down to the spider pit to fight a huge boss, just to kill her yourself.

You don't deserve Xana

>Not killing Leanna
>Keeping Xana
>Still using dragon weapons.

After killing Leanna and getting to the chutch, you just need to use the bow rope to climb in through the roof, and when you leave through the door, the game registers you as cleansed even though you're not.

Nah man. You just have to be crafty, no matter what 'class' you play.

>Play a mage
>Run into a Lich
>Magic v magic goes poorly for me
>Ice the top of some stairs
>Lich chases you down them and slips
>After falling down the stairs, you kick him in the face while he's down.
>He rolls into water
>Electrocute water until he dies

This game was so next level compared to all the trash we get today

The smithing blew my mind

Accepting then double crossing both Xana and Leanna.
Your father even praise you for this.

Gothic and Ultima (aka the best RPGs of all time) did the same way before DM.

xana always

Should I play Might and Magic 1-6 and Heroes of Might and Magic 1-5 before playing Dark Messiah Might and Magic?

Xana

No. Dark Messiah isn't even in the same continuity as Heroes 1-4 and most of the Might & Magic games. You could play Heroes V if you wanted to be introduced to Best Dad, but it's not needed by any means.

Apart from Heroes 5 none of those games have anything to do with this one.

That being said: Yes you should absolutely play MM1-7 and Heroes 1-3
Or at least MM3-7 and Heroes 2/3.

>merely pretending to be this autistic
You don't need to play anything before starting Dark Messiah.

It's probably Valve as the game uses the Source Engine. Maybe Arkane or Ubisoft don't want the game on GOG for some reason. Dear Esther does use the Source Engine and is on GOG though so I'm not sure. It's probably not going to happen any time soon.

>some faggot on Sup Forums convinced you this game was good

It takes place in the same universe as the Ubisoft HoMM games, but DM is almost completely self contained and you'll only miss out on a few references here and there if you haven't played any other games

GIT GUD and maybe you'd enjoy it more.

>missing half due to file size
youtube.com/watch?v=KnxgQMSsc8c

yes we should all just excuse bullshit for a lack of skill. brilliant.
Stop fetishizing skill.

It is a lack of skill though. If you tried all the power attack directions and hit a wall with them at different ranges, which takes like ten seconds you know their hitboxes reliably.

stop replying to bait

Are you actually retarded? Watch the webm. The hitboxes are fucking garbage.

That were clearly shockwaves

Nice game journalist meme, very relevant.

Thank you. Your argument clearly is superior and doesn't fall apart at the slightest scrutiny... oh wait... your argument was...?

Perhaps, but it's still source engine first person game. You see where he hits the ground on the first miss. You shouldn't miss any further swings after that. Also having small hitboxes is the point of those goblins.

>xana begging for her life when you go in to purge her

I don't remember the Goblin attacks being broken on release, but replaying now you're getting hit when they're clearly a dozen feet away and sometimes you get hit without them doing an attack animation.

>Dark Messiah MP
>Fire ball casting wizards, poison arrow shooting archers, invisible assassins and sword swinging knights fucking everywhere
As much of a fucking mess the multiplayer was, I loved it and even won tournaments. A shame it never really got big.

Do NOT bully the cute succubus!

>GIT GUD

The game is literally broken
If gittin gud involves circumventing bugs introduced by the devs it's not called gittin gud. It's called finding workarounds.

Workaround.
The word already implies that something's fucked.

fpbp


I hope arkane studios survives to give us another equivalent of Xana.

My argument is that instead of complaining that a game is shit because its too hard, get better.

You can bitch and moan about shitty hitboxes or whatever but the reality is that thousands of people played the same game and completed it (and enjoyed it) just fine. The only common denominator in your shitty experience is you. But hey, feel free to continue to lash out and blame the game or the people who play it like a small autistic child.

So can I stomp Xana and still release best dad?

I don't know user, not even your father betray you. I guess while it's fine to admit that Xana was manipulating you (or trying to), she is still loyal.

>people constantly drool over this game but everybody forgot about the clearly superior Arx

Sick!
It makes me sick I say!

Yes we should excuse mediocrity of design as a lack of ability. Do you hear yourself, you fucking drone? The game is fundamentally broken.

I can complete the game and still acknowledge all the flaws it had.
And DM certainly has its fair share.
Goblins being one of them.

S A U C E

I can't hear myself since I'm typing, not speaking.
I know I said that you could lash out like an autistic child but I never gave you permission to be stupid too. Thats strike one, user.

Oh but it isn't. The hitbox being small because it is accurate to a small creature is not broken.

Watch the fucking webm you drooling idiot retard. The goblin attacks with an overhead, the character blocks but it doesn't connect. The goblin then immediately damages the player afterwards with an attack that should not connect but does for no reason whatsoever.

>Watch this random clip found on the internet that supports my claim instead of relying on your own memories and experiences of the game, you retard!

is there any other action game with combat as fun and fast paced as dark messiah?

i really had my hopes up for hellraid, but now it's never coming.

I mean his video is factually right there for all to see, actual existing evidence.
Your memories exist in your ass and are evidently wrong and bad

guys i want to play this but can't get the energy to do it. why should i play this

hey remember how this game was infinitely better than bulletstorm, a game made in nearly current year

yeah that was great

the oppressive decline of our hobby is a nice thought that makes me want to read books or plant a garden instead

>can't get the energy to play a video game
Maybe you should go to the nearest hospital as soon as possible instead of looking for motivational advice on Sup Forums.

because its not completely on rails like modern games, you can fuck around and do things more like you want to, there's no faggot telling you to hurry up to the next cutscene!

Err... I'd say Dishonored would be the only thing that comes close.

>playing mutiplayer
>everyone playing lightning mage and circlejerking in sniper duels
>fire mage just bending fireballs around corners and hitting the snipers as they try to run while I guide my bombs from behind cover at my leisure
>get mad at warriors being w+m1 as hell

>game has unlimited modding potential
>jews from Ubisoft stopped Arkane from releasing SDK

Do you think thay Xana has got FULLY MODELLED NIPPLES under her hair?

>Every short, out of context game web. is a PERFECT representation of what that game has to offer, a short game clip cannot possibly feature rare bugs or glitches caused by chance, accident or stupidity.

Imagine being this fucking stupid, how do you function on a day-to-day basis?

Yes.

SFM when?

Just beat this game recently.

It's alright. Easily Arkane's weakest game though (excluding Dishonored 2 which I haven't played yet). I wish they had just taken some of the ideas and put them towards an Arx Fatalis sequel, but I'd imagine that's what this game started as anyway.

Not as good an RPG as Arx Fatalis, not as good a Source engine brawler as Zeno Clash. But kicking sure is fun.

Never, unless you commision. Could potentially do it if you also sent a functional model (rigged and all that) but that also depends from pervert to pervert.

Why ask the SFM fags when you can ask the Blender bros?
