I made a thread discussing how Deadfire has the most dialogue checks of any RPG (https://rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/deadfire-dialogue-check-analysis.124631/), but recently I've also discovered that it has the most dialogue options of any game statistically.

well, well, well, what have we here? another faggot neckbeard (most likely american) shitting up the place with his Obsidian faggotry. you picked the wrong night to fuck around, asshole. i've just texted the Codex mod (we're friends irl) about this thread, so he'll be here shortly to deal with the matter, and most likely hand out some sorely needed bans. i'm also going to report the thread (for safe measure), as well as alert the other moderators in the RPG Codex Discord channel. and just in case you wanna try and pull a fast one, i'm screen shotting *the entire thread for additional proof* and e-mailing DarkUnderlod about the matter personally. i'm tired of you stupid fucking dick sniffers pressing out whatever lolrandom faggot poll you want on the fucking forum. it's time for you assholes to get a reality check, because this shit won't fly for much longer. prepare your anus, you 500 pound piles of shit. your days are *fucking numbered*.

Too bad the writing is garbage.

Quality > quantity. Not only is it better, but it also won't waste your time.

The writing is good. The voiceacting is good. You guys just want a reason to hate the game, and it's the path of least resistance.

Print is also the lowest form of storytelling in cRPGs. Anyone who uses it excessively these days doesn't understand the medium. The setting (VA, art design, sound effects, music, surroundings, lighting, encounter design, etc.) should immerse the player, not walls of text.

There are no walls of text in Deadfire. That was one of the popular feedbacks they addressed from the first game.

Deadfire has over 400 fully voiceacted NPCs in an open world, and unlike Skyrim they don't all sound the same.

As someone who enjoyed Deadfire quite a bit I'd say that the issue with the writing is that it frequently is cringe worthy and otherwise mostly dull. There might be a lot of dialog "options" but I'm not invested in choosing between them or even what is happening in general in the plot/setting so I just spam 1.

The writing is devoid of charm, humor, interesting choices and is stuck in a thoroughly uninteresting setting, servicing an terrible plot.

The voice acting is pretty good but Im in in the habit of listening to people talking about things I don't care about.

is this why companions have like three conversations and the final quest is only ten minutes long

This is one of the easiest games to shill for, because it's a technological marvel and work of art. The codex is just too autistic about Obsidian to admit it.

Do you have statistics on what part of the dialogue consists of buttsex offers? I expect Deadfire is a leader in that category as well.

Where is the poll ? It should be something like this.

Is the game :
  • A big turd ?
  • A little turd ?
  • A shiny turd ?
  • I love my loading screens.
