It's easy to talk about what you DON'T like about the D&D rulesets but when you play a game that breaks from the mold like Pillars of Eternity you quickly realize why straying from the tried and tested D&D is often a mistake.
Example in PoE is that AOE damage is governed by the Intelligence attribute where the area of your attacks grows the larger your INT attribute gets. Sounds good in theory right? Your wizard with high INT gets a big AOE fireball. This thematically falls apart with the Barbarian class which is largely about dealing AOE damage as your axe-wielding caveman ends up having the highest INT score in your party to do his AOE damage. Can't let your INT get too low on your brute of a barbarian or your barbarian's axes forget how to do AOE damage!
Moral of the story is don't break what's not broken. Stick to a D&D ruleset.
I liked poe but it's awkward as frick how you can't dump int on your barb.
>PoE is that AOE damage is governed by the Intelligence attribute
but that's wrong, STR governs damage
INT governs AoE radius and buff/debuff length
Ok that was a typo. If you kept reading you'd see I say INT and AOE.
quads
In poe wizards need to pump str.

Are you implying that intelligence governs all AOE, and not that AOE scales with wizard spells? If it's the former, kek
>Are you implying that intelligence governs all AOE
Yes. If you want your Wizard or Barbarian's AOE to increase you have to increase your INT. Makes logical sense for Wizard but less so for classes like Sorc and completely falls apart when you think about Barbarians.
Solasta is only good for the combat
Baldur's Gate 3.
Shadow over Mystara on Arcade
Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, the rest of the Gold Box games and not by a small margin.
These games are great too, in a very different way.
Consider classic style roguelikes. Many of them have a combat system that's based on D&D.
DOS2 for gameplay.
Disco Elysium for non-combat feel.
Have they solved the whole "having to interact with other people" design flaw of D&D yet?
>frogposter is too big of a homosexual to play a game for outcasts
I'd say just end it all now anon you're beyond hope
Yes lad.
stfu I wish I had a bunch of dumb nerd friends to play D&D with.
Not yet. Once Baldur's Gate 3 is released it will be solved.
You can literally play by yourself if you want. Yes, you can make your own party of "player characters" and run them through an adventurer you "DM". Depending on how willing you are, you can even do all the roleplaying if you're into talking to yourself.
Such autism levels shouldn't be possible
This seems like an excellent way to develop a severe mental illness.
It's literally just writing a fantasy story but with some extra steps.
this is unironically what I used to do as a kid and to a lesser extent now, though not with particularily strict ruleset
as flawed as it is I have a soft spot for NWN2.
Might be because of the aesthetics of it entirely.
Pool of Radiance
I've been having lots of fun with Solasta
D&D online has soul and is really comfy
wish I had friends that liked it
How do I get started with DnD? I've always wanted to play but I don't have enough nerd friends. My wife wants to try it too but I don't know if women are capable of fantasy adventure games created by imagination.
>if women are capable of fantasy adventure games created by imagination.
you moronic anon?
You will never be a women.
thank god
>a women
moronation confirmed
What the frick are you saying, troony?
looks like you're on a schizo rant
sorry can't help you
>be Ganker
>see cake
>flick stupid flag off and start eating cake
>police kick your door in and arrest you
you've got it wrong
Ganker wouldn't mod the flag away
Ganker would keep it so they could keep yelling TRANNIES TRANNIES forever and ever
The desire to complain about trannies would not arise in people if it were never a problem
it's only a problem in the US and only if you pay enough attention to social networks (which makes you a moron if you do)
games that shoehorn trannies are awful even without the troony thing
you're obsessed and spam troony stuff on the board, you're making the problem bigger
yes moron-kun, there's no concerted effort to normalize men in skirts
imagine being hurt for someone wearing a skirt
end your life you brainwashed mongrel
also thanks for avoiding my entire post
Go back to your Discord circlejerk
be careful anon, you're running out of Ganker generic responses
prove it

Nothing wrong in that picture. Trannies need to know their kind isnt welcome
He is obviously referring to the proven fact that women don't have neither imagination nor creativity.
I play D&D with plenty of girls here and there, never really found them to be any less competent. Helps that some are autistic I'm sure.
I don't mean to be disrespectful but i think Anon was referring to Biological females.
Pretty easy to find irl games on facebook or online games online
Baldur's Gate 1-2 or Pathfinder 1-2, inb4 Pathfinder is not D&D its basically the same
I really enjoyed Rime of the Frost Maiden
I just love modern D&D
Another anon makes a great argument that the entire part should just use them regardless of the ability to walk because of all the extra abilities they need so the handicap character doesn't handicap the party.
>World with magic
>can heal every disease, wounds and broken bones
>hell you can even fly with magic
>somehow need a "combat wheelchair" for inclusion
Can still work if you make it so that your legs are part of some kind of curse of barginm, i.e. you play a Warlock who's contracted to a being that demands 2 of your limbs in return for his power.
Oracles in Pathfinder take curses - which apply pretty intense permanent debuffs in return for weird powers that sometimes circumvent the problem. Like you can take a "Clouded Vision" curse that makes you extremely near-sighted, but as you level you can basically see everything better than anyone else in that narrow radius regardless of light levels or invisibility.
One of the curses is literally being a cripple with only one working leg, but you never get tired.
>complaining about homebrew
God I can’t believe that my DM made me roll for anal circumference during character creation.

For me NWN1 for the sheer amount of community created content it has.
Being like 13 years old and hoping to find modules created by other 13 year olds like me back then and finding shit like the CEP and the PRC blew the me frick across the room.
Devs releasing their kits like the Aurora Toolset is the only reason the later TES and Fallout game still have such a large fanbase and I can understand why.

>critical role
Neverwinter Nights 2
Dragon's Dogma.
Based, came here to say this, Dragon's Dogma definitely feels like the closest you can get to the fantasy element of D&D (NOT the mechanical element, but the subject matter).
Itsuno stated DD's origins came from wanting a successor title to the D&D beat 'em ups Capcom made. The first attempt resulted in Monster Hunter, funnily enough.
Hey bros so I just beat Baldur's Gate II (the base game) and thought it's fricking great.
How are the modern games like Pillars or Pathfinder? Are they as cool as BGII? Are they pozzed in any way?
>Pillars 1&2
Uses a custom ruleset based on AD&D ,tries the hardest to be like infinity engine games. Story of the first game might bore you, haven't played the 2nd one yet
>Pathfinder Kingmaker & WOTR
They use the first pathfinder ruleset which is based on D&D 3.5. Kingmaker is really good, but some bits are YMMV like Kingdom Management and stat bloat is a huge problem with both games. WOTR is good but as good as Kingmaker, especially with how lacking the later portions of the game are and said aforemented stat bloat turned up to 11.
>Solasta
Uses the 5E ruleset but uses homebrewed specializations, story is very bland but serviceable. You're largely playing this for the custom content and the combat. This also has multiplayer
Yeah, I was thinking about PF Oracle to justify why a 5.E PC would be crippled and require a wheelchair, because that's the only scenario I can imagine where being crippled would be uncurable. A man made curse could still be reasonably broken and various Gods wouldn't curse you by JUST taking away the use of your legs
OP here
Jesus christ would you morons stop talking about trannies and culture war horseshit. It's like a nervous tick with you gays.
I don't care about the dumb wheelchair item or whatever.
And the first one of you to mention trannies was literally just shitting on a guy who said that women were capable of playing dnd.
This is a thread about dnd videogames. I'm gonna go check out Solasta because someone mentioned that one.
I've tried to get into more text heavy RPGs but it just annoys the frick out of me how many are so badly economical with their text. Yes, I get that they're about reading. But its so tiresome when you get a wall of text for something that could have much more easily and succinctly explained with some simple UI element, like just simple stuff like marking repeated dialogue so you don't waste time reading old shit.
Take your ADHD medicine first
Try Baldur's Gate II, I found it to be not as text heavy as I thought it would.
Solasta is kino and the expansion is good too but it’s 5e basic ruleset so fighters aren’t worth using ever.
Dungeons and Dragons Online will forever be the greatest D&D game.
There has never been a D&D video game.

they're all shit
Is it true that Baldur's Gate 3 tries to trick you on multiple occasions into having gay sex?
Welcome to every rpg since 2015
No.
