Thank you for your feedback, murderer! (kidding XD sorry! Had toâŠ)
Iâve never seen people make that mistake before but eh, wouldnât be surprised. Just to make it clear tho; If you chose you stole, the murderer text is changed to âthiefâ.
It sort of wouldnât be fitting if it would say âthiefâ while your biggest crime was actually murder, right?
I used the ${crime} command btw, along with a bunch of other commands, so the the text is based on the character you created during the hero creator.
You may have noticed, the text also seems to know your race, which is all thanks to a similar race command, and a few codes.
Iâm with you there, I replayed DAO many many times.
You have a excellent taste of games haha, my list is quite similar, but I would include baldurâs gate series, mass effect, star wars old republic and vampire the masquerade. And recently I played fire emblem awakening and liked a lot too.
!!! I LOVED THAT VAMPIRE GAME!!! On my top 10 list of fav games of all time!
And itâs another trojka game (they sadly arenât around anymore), as is Arcanum btw. But i personally prefer Arcanum.
And I (unfortunately) started playing baldurâs gate pretty late, so I didnât get the ânew hypeâ⊠Itâs good donât get me wrong, itâs just now one of my all time favorites.
Fallout 1 and 2 on the other handâŠI played early on, and adored.
Also love Pillars of Eternity. XD The begging was quite boring but as I continued the gameâŠit wasâŠawesome!
Minor Legends of Ophelius update: Removed stat visibility and removed some intelligence or charisma etc losses or gains with certain dialog.
I donât want you to play just for the stats after all.
Also the base stats (Charisma, intelligence, strength and Dexterity) will not be raising or decreasing much after the origin story. (EDIT: Bad wording, since they still will depend if you live or die at times of picks, etc.)
Reasoning: The base stats only go to 10 and you already start off as average on everything, and loss or gain just a bit with the origin story + class pick etc.
I have a weak spot for the original Neverwinter Night + expansions, as it was my first Bioware game, and HotU was the game that made me realise I prefered playing as a male character. it also had the best evil ending ever.
And the toolset being set up to allow you to make yourownentiregame, instead of just modding the included campaigns, was amazing.
Thereâs some absolutely briliant fan-made modules out there.
As for DAO, it is an amazing game, and I too draws from it for my own WIP, but both DAII and Inquisition are at least as good in my opinion.
As for Elder Scrolls, Morrowind has the best main plot, hands down.
And if you get tired of it, there the Julan, ashlander companion mod, which really adds to it. And gives you a companion.
Iâm planing to buy that as soon as I can justify spending the money.
Iâm actually more of a NWN2 fan. XD Despite most people hating on it, i think it had a great, personal story. I felt very involved in it.
DA2 is good, and DAI is great IMO. However, Origins has my heart since forever.
From the ES seriesâŠI prefer Skyrim with mods. Itâs barely a good game without mods, but with them?? One of the best. So thank god for the community.
Both Morrowind and NWN1 i tried out too late as well. I wish I could go back in time, and play them when they came out. I would most likely lover them too then.
Yeah, they are from that generation of games that didnât age well, so if you played the later ones first theyâre hard to get into.
I noticed, last time I played it, that DAO is starting to fall into that category for me too.
I canât play Skyrim without Interesting NPCs anymore. Itâs just so⊠empty.
Bethesda games would not be as popular without modding, thatâs for sure.
I completely agree with your views on Bethesda games. Also the games perhaps not aging too well. Also about NWN2! And that DLC which I also adored!
Basically, agree on everything you just said! XD BESIDES! That DAO didnât age well. I played it a while back, and itâs still great for me personally.
Itâs still a great game, yeah, but itâs starting to feel old, and clunky, and slightly uncanny to me, the same way those others do.
So I think the people who started their rpg gaming with the newest generation of games, or starts with the next one, will have a hard time getting into it. Which is a damned shame!
(Also, sorry I kinda caused your WIP thread to fall into a tangent, by referencing DAO )
Me too, I only played the Enhanced Edition versions, I was having difficulty with the gameplay(died many times hahaha) but I love the story and the companions.
Never played, my weak PC doesnât have the requirements
I heard of this game recently, from people commenting old games, seems really cool.
Brujah and Malkavian, I got Brujah in the personality test of the game haha. And the malkavian, I laughed the entire game xD. I always wanted to play the book though, has a lot more of customization.
I like all dragon ages, but the origins story and my Warden have a special place in my heart.
If your PC can handle DAI, it can defiantly handle POE. Trust me!
And you MUST play Arcanum Steamworks of Magic! I mean, if you donât mind it being somewhat old lol! It even has a backstory choice in the character creator! And you can play a mage or a tech personâŠetc.
THOUGH!!! Youâll need a mod called âArcanum multiverse editionâ to make it work, probably. xD Since itâs really bad with new systems,âŠ
Additional info: The world of Arcanum (i must warn), is somewhat sexist and racist in a race sense (elf/orc etc). However, no matter how some treat you at the begging, you always have the chance to prove yourself. Plus you can kill that gnome that tries to have his way with you if youâre femaleâŠwhich is pure awesomeness. xDD
I donât particularly care, but would be awesome have the warden voiced. In dragon age 2, I prefer playing with a female Hawke because of her voice, donât know, felt ârightâ in the sarcastic personality xD
Sigh, everyone thinks so, while I adore male HawkeâŠ
Itâs just like Mass Effect.
Iâve played quite a bit of VtM pen and paper, and even a little live.
Like with other rpgâs, itâs really fun if the GM and the other players want the same kind of game as you. Else, it gets frustrating, no matter what system you are using.
I have mostly been involved in campaigns where you get to play as the more obscure bloodlines, if you want, which is awesome!
In the campaign we just started, the masquerade was broken. Iâm playing a fallen angel, who donât really care, but the other players are elder vampires (who so far think Iâm a random human), so they are caught up in the chaos.
I actually prefer the female voice in mass effect as well. I think it sounds equally badass. ^^ But hey, thatâs just my personal opinion + Havenât even made actual playthroughs with any males, unless iâm forced into it. Since iâm a female IRL and sort of love making myself as a badass, or another female as a badass. Thereâs too few female badasses in the media I think. So yeah, always love that!
PS: Iâd never try to force a female in if it doesnât fit though. Like in Troy (2004), my favorite movie of all time. All the warriors there were male, but with good reason.
