Incline Which RPG Should I Play Next #4: Episode 1

Don't talk shit about my boy Joseph

 

[Lemming42]

If you said that to Joseph he'd be all:
"Talk shit?"
"yeah, don't talk shit about my boy joseph"
"Boy?"
"yeah, joseph"
"Joseph?"

 

[jaekl]

Yeah? So?? That's you talk to npcs. It's like in everquest when an npc would say [something] to you, you don't write a whole sentence out like a weirdo you just write "Something?" and if that doesn't work you write "What something?" "Who something?" "Tell me about something?".

Now you're worrying me that in summoner 2 good ol' Joe gets replaced by some sassy chick with a major case of diarrhea of the mouth.

 

[Lemming42]

Maia's still pretty concise in her dialogue from what I remember, she's just way funnier and also has more drive and proactivity than Joseph, who was HELPLESS before the demands of any NPC he met. People would be like "hey, I have a sidequest for you, can you put your head in this bucket of feces" and he'd be like "Feces?" before dunking his whole face in.

Flece was the real hero of Summoner anyway, surely. The game even stops pretending during that one bit and outright removes Joseph to let you go solo as Flece.

 

[jaekl]

Oh god, you mean the worst part in the game where I had to kick 50 guards to death? Don't remind me about that man, it's bad for my blood pressure. Second worst part was the poison swamp which was worse than any poison swamp miyazaki could cook up.

What about the Trip + Backstab combo? 1000+ damage per hit!

Jesus, I'd forgotten about this but it just all came back to me. The "epic" battle against the soldiers at the end too - "oh no, it looks like four more soldiers are on their way!"

 

[jaekl]

I didn't know about that then, she was crappy and died a lot so I put all her points in bows and lockpicking and let the AI use her until that part. Used a lot of potions.

 

[Jaesun]

I don't know if World of Darkness™ is your thing or not (I love that setting), but what I liked is how Troika approached this setting and mechanics in Bloodlines as a cRPG.

I need the people who voted for Vampire to explain themselves to me. Right fucken now.

#5 best RPG according to Codex

I guess no one who voted for it warned you about what to expect. I did , but as always, I'm looked down upon by the Canucks for being a third worlder.

Ignore the votes and play Death Knights of Krynn.

You were being way too nice and polite about how trash it is though, which means you're pretty much a domestic canadian now. Congratulations buddy.

 

[Butter]

Bloodlines is like if Polacks tried to make Deus Ex, but set in WoD. It has wonderful aesthetics and atmosphere, and some great build reactivity in places. It's not a game you play for its gameplay.

 

[jaekl]

Oh it's polish, maybe the writing is less putrid in their language and the translation is just retarded?

 

[jaekl]

Cause it was like

"Hey buddy, BAD NEWS pal, but you're a vampire now, a herald of life's darkest treacheries, but I'm bout ta show you the ropes"
1. What tha christcakes?!
2. A v-v-v-v VAMPIRE?! Seriously brosef?!
3. Geeze louise, talk about a rude awakening!!

 

[Lemming42]

Joseph from Summoner: "Vampire?"

What did you expect from a game portraying the nightly struggles of Californians? Sobriety?

 

[Eisen]

Have you already played Divine Divinity?

 

[jaekl]

Have you already played Divine Divinity?

Isn't that made by Larian? I have a strict no Larian policy unfortunately so you won't see any of their games on my lists.

 

[NecroLord]

Have you played The Thing?
You can finish it rather fast, probably having time to play another game.
