Love,you are free to try :smug:. Also the best combat orientated game out there is IWD,it is hardly a combat only game.

The RPGs that put stories on the backburner and focus on combat system + combat encounter design turn out best.

Jagged Alliance 2, Silent Storm, Temple of Elemental Evil, Icewind Dale, IWD2 etc.

PS:T and Arcanum have shit game-play because they went full retard on storytelling/lore. Only illiterates think they are masterpieces of storytelling/lore.

My blog is my weapon against storyfags, lorefags and other retards such as yourself. I've shown how torrential dialogue ruined PS:T, and I'm going to do that for Arcanum, too (though Arcanum is a far superior game, and also has better writing than PS:T).

Yet we are on the codex and not on your blog,love. Thus disgusting minorities like combatfagz should know their place and keep to the underbush :smug:.

Ah the imperfection is yours,clearly your taste in games is inferior :obviously:.

We are where we are. But this war is also waged by me from my own stronghold, and it's not like you've put forth any arguments. If you do, I'll start copy-pasting my preexisting ones.

This war has been waged for decades,endless skirmishes have taken place between the lowlifes of combatfagines and the glorious lords of StorySupremecists!

What argument do you expect?! It is a fact that you could have great RPG with shit combat and great writing,but you can't have the opposite. Your argument against it is a bunch of tactical games that are not RPGs and ToEE and IWD,which both of them are good games,but not something that people replay 5 times,on top of it they have decent writing.

Doesn't change the fact that Arcanum is numba won!

The authoritative source states that Arcanum is the 7th greatest RPG of all-time. Hell, there is even a colorful graph that depicts the ranking in case your English proficiency is lacking. However, it will drop to 9th when I have completed my upcoming 12-part retrospective (ToEE is Troika's best RPG by a country mile).


What will trigger the storyfags, lorefags and dialogfags, is that I will deign to engage in some literary criticism as it pertains to Arcanum -- as a combat connoisseur.

There's no replacement for gameplay related things that allow you to accomplish so much by taking control of the character, which you can't experience in real life.

This applies to stories as well, and which is why storyfags become storyfags. Storyfags love epic chosen ones stories because they have nothing going on in their lives and like to feel important for a change. And this is the same reason companion romances are so successful, the vast majority of storyfags are forever alone virgin incels and RPG romances are the only way they can experience a romantic relationship since they can't experience it in real life.

I don't remember stating such thing love. But your lack of sophisticated taste is understandable.....after all,you are only a woman.:smug:

Don't you play literally anything, like Fluent? I seem to recall you playing Poncefinder: Cuckmaker, f.e. And Pillars. And other current gen garbage, like Disco.

(So I don't think you should be calling out my taste in RPGs, which is comparatively impeccable.)

Dude, stop negging Lilura, you aren't getting laid, those "red pill PUA" shit are garbage to take money from incels, they don't work in real life. Besides, Lilura is a man.
