The Rpg!

So user, what is the one rpg that you have sunk the most time into? mabye you loved power leveling in it? grinding for that one item? or the music and world keeps you coming back? which is is it?
Mmorpgs need don't really count, but if you HAVE to talk about one, keep it simple. The one for me that keeps coming back is Star Ocean 2nd Story and the Cave of Trails. That was amazing end game content and combat system always kept me engaged.

Not really a lot of time sunk into it but I recently completed and replayed Age of Decadence 5 fucking times.

Skyrim

Wasn't that made by the RPG codex?

Definitely Arcanum. It is the only CRPG I feel unconditional attachment to. I've played so many different playstyles and yet I never tire of it.

Skyrim, the best game ever made.

Was going to say Morrowind but it's probably Daggerfall. Always find myself picking it up every once in a while for more dungeon crawling.

Daggerfalls dungeons are randomly generated right? I only remember the last dungeon and the massive fucking face statue near the end, before The Dadera lore of chaos, whatever his name was.

Fallout 2, but i still haven't played Morrowind and Arcanum.

All story relevant dungeons are fixed but quest ones are randomly generated.

I think I spent more time in the Cave of Trials than the rest of the game, it was oddly satisfying to gimp some of the more useless party members through the lower levels and watch them gain over 100 levels in one fight. It made playing through the other campaign hard through, you get so used to the valkyrie boots and bunny slipper's speed, everything feels like a snails pace

I once imported a picture of a cute anime girl into the first Baldur's Gate and made a character out of that.

I wish I could get into RPGs more, I think I'll try to finish Baldur's Gate and Arcanum again.

Whoever the fuck designed those must've been doing some heavy-ass drugs. Especially late game ones, holy fuck they're twisted.

Level designers back then had imagination, they didn't need drugs. Their priorities were way fucking different. Some of the dungeons I designed for D&D can be pretty intense.

Never force yourself to play Rpgs, they take a very very specific mindset.

I don't mind creative dungeons, but i do mind mazes that are nigh impossible to navigate which is daggerfall notorious for.

Don't you get an ingame map?

A prominent member of the Codex, yes. Vince D. Weller. Their company also made Dungeon Rats and are now working on a colony ship RPG. I didn't enjoy AOD, but that's mostly because I enjoy combat a little too much. Different focus.

lol
fixed means they don't change every time you go through them, I doubt anyone at bethesda spent more than 5 minutes making those dungeons. They probably procedurally generated them once and then fixed them that way.

It doesn't help with the snake mating dens that are endgame dungeons. Like, at all.

Nice bait

Tactics Ogre: Knight of Lodis for the Gameboy Advance
There's just something about it that keeps me replaying it a couple times every year on my emulator.
Tales of Phantasia (also for the GBA) is another good one, especially with all the shit to grind up and collect.

Probably Geneforge 2

...

Morrowind, by far. Played pretty much every build imaginable, beat the game on 100 difficulty (including werewolf area with souped up melee dmg and Almalexia + 5 hands), did every quest, collected every weapon, explored every nook and cranny in the game. I played it back before mods, when you had to save every 30 seconds in order to not lose progress from the constant crashes and I replayed it again this year for a good 50-60 hours.

No grind like a jap eroge rpg grind, good taste though, OP.

J and W permitting, I will always remember having such a great time playing
Baldur's Gate 2, Fallout 2, Breath of Fire 3, Suikoden 2, and Vagrant Story
They were the only games that wasn't too wordy, provided an good experience, ranged from ok to good stories and fun enough for me to complete

Really fucking comfy, it's really cool how the town gets better as you progress trought the sidequests.

Arcanum is literally perfect

Fallout 1 is GOAT too

sauce?

I won't lie. I spent way too much time in Dragon age origin than I should have.

/tg/ c.2013, I think.:^)

How can you even call that an RPG, you can't even roleplay since there is no speech options or actions for it like in Arcanum. Hardly any NPCs even give you any quests. I went to at least six settlements and I can only ask about where that shitty island is. It seems like you can only get fucking quests from guilds. And the fact that the largest settlement in the game doesn't even have NPCs walking around makes it completely void of life or atmosphere. They just made this massive map and filled it with generic quests. Every dungeon feels the same and the fact that it takes 5 minutes to kill an mudcrab doesn't make it any enjoyable either. Only nostalgia fags say this is a good "RPG".

Either the Might and Magic series or Oblivion.

I played the Might and Magic series as a little kid and ever since I was barely able to read the english quest texts (I am German), I replayed it very often in my youth. My mother also loved to play those games.


I just wanted to save my people from the pirates and be their hero. I really liked the aztec aesthetic they had.

you need to have played it as a kid, mate

otherwise your sense of wonder and excitement is gone and it's like a sense you never trained :^)

I played it after playing Skyrim and it hardly suffers from immersion in character than any other game. How many RPGs can you list me where you don't have to constantly black out certain "hero of de universe" bullshit and come up with your own background? On my merchant build I killed a main quest character and ignored the story.

Oblivion. I bet you can't tell that I have autism.

1st one is definitely Morrowind, I got it on the release day and played it for months, I think it could be ~1500 hours I never finished it
2 is Arcanum, my personal GOTYAY. I replay it every year since it came out.

Maybe not the most time I've ever sunk into an rpg but Divine Divinity comes to mind as one where I went full autist about doing EVERYTHING.
That was a good game.

suck my dick faggot

I've been playing Morrowind like an obsessive autist for over a decade. Because I'm an obsessive autist. I sometimes go on UESP and random page in the Morrowind section just to see if I can find a single thing I didn't already know about the game or trivia related to it. I have only managed to three times in the past year.

FE13 at around 400 hours

I don't know why I saged.

Probably Morrowind. I never got into RPGs until I got older, and now they all suck ass for the most part. I've never got into JRPGs much, excepting the popular ones like Chrono Trigger. Random unseen enemies just popping you into combat never appealed to me.

Oblivion when I was a lil lad.
Morrowind.
Pokemons, as shitty FF clones as they were.
Neverwinter Nights.

...

Probably FO1, 2, Arcanum and Wiz 8.

What I meant by that faggot is that the game hardly ever allows multiple ways to complete a quest. When ever there is, its either be a very bad person or a very good one, its not possible to be lawful good, lawful evil or chaotic evil etc. The alignment system in the game is shit tier and no one in the world even reacts to what you do. Why should they anyway, all you are doing is fetch quests or kill these X number of bad guys.

what gaem

>still lying

I edited [email protected]/* */ look like real human being.

Let me blow your mind: Tales of Phantasia had SNES and PSX versions before the GBA version, and their battle systems are much faster. The GBA couldn't really handle the battles at all, so you're actually playing (at least on the physical device, no clue if emulation fixes it) at something like half or 1/3 speed.

I think it was Tales-Cless that did a translation of the PSX version, but the only version of the SNES one I know of is DeJap, which gave it some… liberal translations (including the infamous "fucks like a tiger" scene) and some amusing glitches, like one of Klarth's starting books having attack power higher than Cless' strongest weapon at that point in the game.

That's wizardry 8

Honestly probably Dark Souls

Dozens of play throughs.

How has your dick not fallen off?

I don't follow. Is neverwinter not a good rpg or something??

NWN had a metric fuckload of porn mods, a dance with rogues is no exception.

To be fair, it's also an excellent Rogue adventure.

D&D alignment garbage? In my Morrowind?

You're a faggot

NWN is a terrible RPG.

A lot of the user made modules are fantastic, especially A Dance with Rogues.

Kamidori Alchemy Meister

It's actually pretty good for a chink porn game. I did three or four playthroughs to unlock everything.

Not quite real communism, but close enough.

Speaking of which, are those text porn with no freeplay whoring or do they go further?

What do you mean?

They're generally text, but some have shitty animations.

ADWR is a combination of stand alone scenes or you can whore yourself out on the docks.

The Pokémon series
Sapphire 2003 had 200 hours of gameplay on my first save and 135 hours on my second
