How do we fix RPGs?

how do we fix RPGs?

Why should a random no-name unimportant guard have twenty dialogue options?

We have FF7. It's all we need.

reddit: the game

please tell me your joking

/thread.

upboops to the left, gentlesirs!

>we

Quality over quantity.
I'd rather take a game with 2 well written dialogue options than 20 boring needless options.

How do we fix your shit taste and attitude?

...

that rpg then also had the worst gameplay of any infinity engine game and would have been as good or better as a telltale game or vn

Excellent GM tools
Multiplayer

>*boop his nose*
>well written dialogue options

why shouldnt they?

the simpler an rpg is, the less of a reason there is to play it at all.

It's subtle humor for gentlemen with taste.

[Intelligence: 10]HATES NOSEBOOPS

this

old rpgs are the biggest pieces of hot garbage in terms of gameplay which is also the most important thing for a GAME

>that rpg then also had the worst gameplay of any infinity engine game
this is such a stupid and wrong opinion that i wont even justify it with a (You)

Literally no fucking RPG, not even Planescape Torment, gives random unimportant NPCs that many dialogue options. The OP's image is cherrypicked to fuck and is essentially comparing a side order to a main course.

How much of the top options actually give new information that you didn't have earlier from another guard or NPC?

>not booping his nose

+1 upboop

>Not kissing the guard

you would know if you actually played the greatest CRPG of all time you uncultured turd

>Literally no fucking RPG
>if I ignore the ones that do then that makes me correct
good try retard

In Morrowind and Gothic you also have guards and random npcs giving you the same boring dialogue options.

>[Lizard]
Why is that relevant to the kissing?

PST is overrated garbage.

It barely holds a candle to BG and BG fucking sucked

I'm not a SLUT

have you ever kissed a lizard?

It's an option exclusive to lizard females because the guard is a lizard fucker. He was assigned to Fort Joy because he had a lizard girlfriend, and the Magisters hung said girlfriend.

what happens if you kiss him?

>larianiggers will defend this

Lizards are very lewd

What game is this anyway?

>RPG not ashamed to go into the nitty gritty
So?

take this upboop good sir

Can confirm. Playing as the Red Prince is like a free card to fucking everything with a hole, male or female.

What are you trying to show there, exactly?

There is such a thing as being overly complicated just for complexity's sake. It's all about balance.

>That
>Nitty Gritty
It's word soup. Just say she's licking your cock.

>source: my ass
neat

also I said more options, not more complexity, dumbass.

Less isn't more. More is more.

Because that guard some times moonlights as an armorer and was present in the yearly smattering smithery. You ask him if he saw a strange glowing hammer, the one you are after that is part of the ancient tools of a dead civilization. You make a stat check in wisdom as you notice he answers with a strange inflection. You tell him that you know he knows, that you need to talk to who has this hammer. He spills the beans and admits his friend had such a hammer and never thought to ask about it. Many people have enchanted tools, he asks if his friend is any trouble. You calm him down and tell him you merely want to talk to him. As you arrive at the address you see a door left open, looking in it has become apparent that you are too late. The man lies on the floor, dead and the entire place ransacked...

You'd be incredibly boring in an ERP I tell you hwat.

>I ride your cock
>I suck your cock
>You cum on my face

Wew. I need to call up my cute boy today

nothing wrong with that

*leans in and kisses you*

Newsflash: This is a game with 3D models. We don't NEED ERP.

Just

Fucking

Show it.

I'm sure Larian is going to spend weeks animating sex animations for every possible race combination.

That's like reading a romance novel and being upset there aren't illustrations. Play Skyrim if you want to see the cock go in your mouth in first person seriously it's fun

Planescape went overboard with it though, at times it felt like interactive novel with how much dialogue you had to get through.

Ah, I see you're a person of outstanding taste too. I long for the day Matrix level VR is real so I can be a lizard slut and suck cock in real time.

>larianiggers suck dick
haha cant make this ish up

>Not appreciating a fat dick
What a faggot.

Top one sounds like a fucking chore to get through.
When do you actually play the game? There are plenty of novels if you want to read.

Stay strong. We're almost there.

No, I mean.

Look at thisYou can literally SEE the characters.

They're "making up" what's happening with them, even though they LITERALLY have the tools to show it.

Videogames are a visual medium. Fuck me, it's so counterproductive to have this ERP shit exist while while you're looking at your characters.

LMAO fucking nerd not once did you describe a dungeon to crawl or fat loot wtf man you crazy. Nobody has time for your fucking wanna be books nowadays. Skyrim and its sequel Fallout 4 revolutionized the industry for modern times. Get with it fucking nerd.

upbooped

>comparing interactions form with a main character or plotpoint to a interaction with a bumbfuck guard. Gee I wonder why one is more detailed.

Words can be sexier than images. Watching 3d models hump each other is cringy as fuck, but it sure isn't cringy in my imagination. It's a dialogue heavy game, it would fucking weird to have such an important part of the relationship played out as an animation.

Does anyone have that webm of the Witcher 3 mocap actors dry humping? Because that's the kind of shit you're asking for.

Sex and sexuality can be included in a game and not just be a "Screen goes dark for a few seconds" scene, if players would fucking nut up and act mature about it.

Despite what I LITERALLY just said, this scene with the ERP would be better if I couldn't see my characters.

"No, my character is NOT being kissed and licked, I can see him standing right there in the middle of the room. They're both standing there, they have their underwear on."

>rpg quality is measured by how many different lines of text the player can click on from a list
>role play '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''game''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

first step to fix rpgs would be to include some actual gameplay

>18 dialog options

no fucking thank you. and I'm sure they all lead to the same retarded outcome anyway.

>brainlet cant comprehend let alone manage 18 dialog options

>Yes
>No
>Sarcastic
>Hate 18 options

Speaking is an action and the outcome of what you say is very much core to roleplaying games and has been since fucking chainmail at least. Dialogue has consequences in game which makes it a gameplay facet.

prove to me that each of those 18 dialog options has a meaningful outcome and impact in the game and the future storylines of the game. And then do it for every single dialog option in the game and I might give a shit.

More pointless options doesn't lead to a better game experience.

I don't know how to fix anything, but for starters I would like:
>no pre-established backgrounds
>more variety in dialogue choices
>option for voiced or not voiced protagonist

>Skyrim and its sequel Fallout 4
this was a nice touch

...

that has nothing to do with the number of options, it has everything to do with bad video game designers.

dnd is playable online and there's a shitty program for it

make your own game

if you havent played PST then why are you even here? fuck off to neogaf retard pleb

This game is filled with shit happening in dialogue it doesnt show. Why would the sex be the one thing they would animate?

Look, I don't like you. I don't like your tastes. I don't like your rampant use of the word literally or your randomly capitalized words, and I don't like cringy 3d model porn in my rpg. I can't take it seriously when I'm looking into a dollhouse from above watching little figures smoosh into each other.

>gosh I am having so much fun WATCHING my character talk (if the devs actually bothered to put in some animations and if they were especially nice there might even be sound) and then WATCHING all the happenings in the '''''''''''''''''''''''''game'''''''''''''''''

confirmed for not understanding what a game is

thanks for not proving your own point

>It's an option exclusive to lizard females because the guard is a lizard fucker.
That's AWFUL RPG design, and very sad how Larian still makes such 101 level of mistakes after so many years in the genre.
A good RPG would give that choice to everyone, but only the female lizard characters'd be successful.

And now, OP's shitposting aside, any person with half a brain would have realised already that D:OS 2 (and 1) must be played for its great combat (and in we are lucky, for great mods), while its writing is complete garbage.
Ironically (maybe not, and OP is actually a cheeky cunt) good opposition from Planescape, which have great writing but TERRIBLE gameplay.

>how do we fix RPGs?

Why would you need to? Second image is better than the first, doesn't matter how much you try and force this meme here

My capitalization is not random you donut. It's completely correct.

>planescape fedorament internet defense force is here

This thread went the opposite of what was intended

>J""""RP""""Gs

*boop*

That may be but it still is obnoxious... I'm not a donut...

why is this post getting downbooped?
edit: haha thanks for the gold guys

kys bait or not

>We have FF7. It's all we need.
Nigga do you read what you type?

Why do you think that's an insult?

Like tens of these posts in here from someone who is upset by that dialogue but can't give any explanation for why anyone else should be

Why would he tell you his joking?

Thank you I really had to tap my inner most loathing for the industry for the role but I think it paid off.

>he's still responding

It will never cease to amaze me how Square could tell the same basic story twice and play mad libs with certain elements and wind up with two fan bases at each other's throats over those minor differences for decades.

Steampunk with Batman's The Joker for a villain or cyberpunk with every spaghetti western's bad guy and protagonist motivation. The quality of story telling in either is perfectly fine and neither excel much beyond that. You fucking spergs.

Div OS 2 is literally the most lovecraftian RPG of all time

How the fuck? You dumb fucking retard, you don't even find out hes a lizzard fucker until a whole other area later.

>find one fucking odd OPTIONAL dialogue choice
>compare it to one of the best dialogues in the respective game

This is bullshit, people are literally shitposting this game because they either don't like RPGs or they're just being contrarian. No other RPG in a couple of years has had this much choice or roleplaying and you're bitching because MUH NATURE OF MAN! SO MATURE!
