I'm 17 hours into the game and here are my impressions

>Story seems good, world feels real and characters seem well written
>Game lets you saveb***h way too much
>Combat is boring and feels slow
>I'm playing as a rogue and this class seems useless, maybe the main character is just useless?
>A single fight can take an hour and it doesn't let you speed up NPC moves and feels fricking slow
>80% of combat is watching slow ass enemy moves and feels tedious if there are a lot of enemies
>Everyone wants to have sex with me unlike in real life, I wonder if you can frick the whole camp
>There seem to be a lot of paths you can take, so that's cool

Overall it seems like a typical 8/10 cRPG, why does everyone on Ganker hate it and every reviewer suck it's dick so much?

      I played BOTW for like 20h and didn't finish it because it was empty, had no story, boring combat, boring quests, like 8 enemy types, so I'd give it a 6/10 because it didn't repulse me right from the beginning.

          >kirby games
          Nintendo is not a thing where I'm from
          >Souls games
          The main problem with souls games is that they're pretty much the same shit, you even used the term that puts like 6 different games into a single bag, which kind of says a lot about them.

          Overall if I'd have to rate the franchise as a whole, gameplay is consistently good, but after a while you learn that there isn't really that much depth to it, different builds have pretty much the same gameplay aside from playing as a wizard, so the replayability isn't really there if you don't want to play the multiplayer, and NG+ is the cheapest and most boring difficulty increase that you can do in a video game, which is enemies "do more damage and have more health", not worth playing.

          Story isn't there (unless you're a fricking autist who likes to read wikipedia articles in their free time) but the locations and the atmosphere are great and memorable in most cases.

          Overall a 8.5/10 since most of the games have certain issues, the worst games are Dark Souls 2 and Demon's Souls (2009) and I'd give them a 7/10, the best game is Dark Souls and it's 9/10. I didn't play Elden Ring yet.

          Also the fanbase sucks because it consists of people who think they play a "hard game" unlike those filthy casuals, meanwhile it's actually fricking easy, just kind of hard to pick up at the start and I have no idea who started that whole "dark souls is a REAL game that takes SKILL and is really HARD", since that's not fricking true, it's easy to git gud and beat game.

          What's really funny, is that when Dragon Age 2 came out, and was the first game of that type where every love interest was bi, that same crowd was whining about "gay and lesbian erasure". Which is what made them go back to set sexualities in Andromeda. They literally complained their way out of being able to frick Cora.

    Rogue feels extremely feast or famine.

        False, if you're lightly obscured you have to roll for a stealth check. There's nothing about cover. That's the inconsistency, sometimes you roll for a check when caught and sometimes you don't, even when you're lightly obscured. It's most likely a bug unless there are hidden systems in place.

                >world feels real
                The world looked completely moronic at first because I used to consider freak races as "I want to be the unique one" so a world filled with these seemed dumb. But I'm starting to realize Faerun is just a freak world where they all live together and demons walking down the street is normal. I still think it's bad because it makes it harder to have special things and forces them to escalate into gods and cosmic forces which is boring.
                I don't know how to explain it but no, the world feels very fake, like a kid playing with different toy sets mashed together. I'll see when I'm further into the story.

      Someone who has never played tabletop DND doesn't understand that rogues aren't about getting kills, they're a utility class and they have a very specific combat style, which isn't DPS, but is more like "supportive DPS"; as in, they can't do much damage themselves, but they can stun or backstab or do bonus DMG against flat footed enemies.
      They basically allow another character to do crowd control moves while the rogues make the cc worth doing, beyond simply stunning for a turn or two, thus, their damage is " supportive DPS".

      I play a lot of rogues in tabletop, and they're not like most RPGs. You open locks, pop traps, cast/read scrolls, etc, and when you can you try to 1 shot an unaware enemy with a sneak attack and then hide behind your warrior or paladin and abuse attacks of opportunity, or kill stunned/flat footed enemies.

            It's wild because I have laezel using a one handed weapon and shield and she does a *tink* *tink* 10 dmg per hit 4 hits per turn and shadowheart is doing like 40 damage when it connects and sometimes I get 0 hits, others I get all 3. Astarion is somewhere in between where he does consistently like 20-30 damage per turn

        3.5e/pathfinder rogues are DPS kings.

      They are about dps if you go 5 thief/7 battlemaster fighter dual wield. The most broken variant of this is dual wield hand crossbows with sharpshooter feat but any one hand weapons you're proficient with will work with Dual Wielder feat.

      Rogue is okish if you dual wield handbows, have items that give automatic advantage and have the perk that gives you +10 damage on hit. That way you hit 2*(10 + dex modifier + weapon damage) + sneak attack die. Though even this works better as an fighter who can get more shots off when hasted. Maybe respec astarion into that, you get 3 attacks, 4 if hasted. That's easily 80 damage per turn at level 6

      It falls off though but is still viable at later levels.

        Mine didn't fall off at all and ended up as my most consistent damage dealer that nearly always had a very high hit rate. He was also tanky as frick with uncanny dodge. I went rogue for the second off-hand attack and then battlemaster for the extra damage, attack, and bonus action. He beat the game for me singlehanded when everyone else was dead.

          I find monk dealing way more damage just by using spell ability modifier twice and being way tankier on principle, or using Shadowheart as an tanky tempest cleric.

          The action economy kinda sucks in this game. Casting a powerful spell twice is ultimately better than getting an extra attack.... And you can cast lighting multiple times even though you've used only one spell slot

            I went thief 5 so I could pick up uncanny dodge and then the rest into fighter battlemaster. He went dual wield hand crossbows and took sharpshooter, stat increase, crossbow mastery, and then I think sentinel because I didn't know what else to get. With battlemaster, I gave him Menacing Attack, Precision Attack, and Riposte. Basically, he massacred at range and then when enemies would close in on him, he'd counter with his set of dual wield short swords. This build very easily destroyed the entire game.

      Assassin subclass is fricking crazy. I’m able to do a sneak attack, do another one because of my passive, then retreat and hide assuming I made the kill (which I most likely did as the sneak attack damage is high). Once combat breaks, I repeat the process until I feel like the enemy forces are small enough that I can bring in the rest of the party to finish the job. Or I could just kill them all myself, assassin is a 1 man army depending on the circumstances.

      The other subclasses seem like shit though. If you’re playing rogue but not assassin then give it a try, just weave in and out of combat.

    It's a solid 8/10 game. Some of the most glaring issues that keep it down from a perfect score:
    >Encumberance mechanic, individual inventory for each character instead of one party inventory
    >Unable to speed up fights; sometimes an enemy gets stuck for like 10 seconds at the end of his turn. Fights tend to be too long
    >Camera can be funky
    >Things are sometimes not intuitive: Why am I at a "disadvantage" if I am out of combat, in stealth mode, behind the enemy yet I still can't use my sneak attack?
    >character customization is lackluster, no body changes
    >can't have all of the characters in the party chip in for dialogue options, if you have a DEX roll answer you can just leave the conversation, switch to the DEX guy in the party and have him talk
    >in general the dice-based RNG mechanic is not something I like
    >too much gay shit shoved into the game

      I never really had a problem with fights taking too long or needing to speed them up, enemies getting stuck at the end of their turn sucks but other than that it's always been fine (so far, nearing the end of act 2). Maybe it's just because I try to talk my way out of fights as much as I can.
      >Camera can be funky
      >can't have all of the characters in the party chip in for dialogue options

      are sometimes not intuitive: Why am I at a "disadvantage" if I am out of combat, in stealth mode, behind the enemy yet I still can't use my sneak attack?
      The game will tell you at the top what is modifying your attacks. It sounds like the target could be in darkness which does impose disadvantage on attacks if your character can't see in the dark, making you unable to use sneak attack

      agree with most of that, there should maybe be a more comprehensive encyclopedia in the game (or just more comprehensive explanations) for mechanics so you don't have to google them
      I don't mind the dice-based RNG myself, but inventory management, camera funkiness (sometimes this gets pretty bad) and unexplained and sometimes unintuitive mechanics are definitely a negative

    If that's the case a high dex bard is a better skill monkey/face is also a full (support) caster and can act as the face of the party and can get double attack without martial dip.
    If you absolutely have to play rogue over bard, you HAVE to dip 5 into a martial class for the double attack.
    5F/7R is the simplest and most flexible this lets you go daggers or bows or both

        Fighter has action surge + 2 attacks

          that didn't answer my question but okay
          sneak attack is every single turn

          i don't know about that gloom ranger thing, but probably also once a fight
          the rogue is a constant high damage threat while sneaking around unless you play it wrong and try to go into melee with no friends or shoot random enemies without hiding first

            You can still sneak attack with the multies presented though? That's my point. Yes, sneak attack is once a turn (With advantage).

        It's a gimped fighter that can only attack twice and consumes spell slots to actually deal damage.

        The only saving grace are the saving throws and immunities.

          And fighter only attacks 3 times at level 11.
          >consumes spell slots to actually deal damage
          A level 1 smite is equivalent to 2 hits against regular enemies, and even more when you crit or use higher-level spell slots.

          Also, spellcasting makes you significantly stronger because you can buff yourself.

      Warlock sucks and is only good for a 2 level dip for sorcerer so it can get eldritch blast that scales. However, just going sorcerer 11 wizard 1 is even more powerful since you can then scribe any scroll that a wizard can as a sorcerer.

        pact of the blade warlock is basically a homebrew hexblade by Larian and can be picked by any of the warlock subclasses, you're literally getting two subclasses in one, and one of them is a much better subclass at that (pact of the blade is better in every way than hexblade).

        You can do some hilarious damage with the right items and hex

        Plus the Level 5 Pact of the Blade extra attack stacks with other classes extra attack. So you get 3 attacks per action point at level 10.

      Paladins are fricking crit monsters if you build them right. Ignore their spells for the most part and use all their slots for smites. Go Half Orc with a dip into fighter for the Champion subclass and get the Spell Sniper feat if you really want to pull some bullshit.

        Not only is it not good, the slap dash way it's constructed makes it inherently buggy as frick - the turn based combat is a state that entities enter while the rest of the world goes on around them in real time, leading to all sorts of stupid shit happening when there are any enemies around to enter the combat as it is ongoing, you'll end up with it being your turn while enemies run around smacking your other characters and then you lose your action because they surprised you I guess?
        Even when it's not bugging out, it's still 5e and your optimal party is 4 fighters spamming attacks because rolling more dice per turn is the only thing that matters. When an encounter is easy, it's tedious. When an encounter is hard, it's annoying. And when it's evenly balanced, it's purely up to dice rolls and is even more annoying.

          Managing resources is fun and an intrinsic part of any rpg adventure anon. I have long rested like 4 or 5 times at most and I'm midway through act 2, and at least one if not two of those were forced by the game when you move between zones or have to rest for the tiefling party etc.
          You do not need your fancy ass spells every single fight, you do not need to use all your spells every single fight, that is infact not fun because it becomes mundane instead of the exception.

            My issue is more to do with the pointless nature of actually resting rather than having every single spell available to me at all times, which I don't even want
            They pretty much carbon copied 5e, you only get 2 slots generally at level one, warlocks are given an insanely strong cantrip that scales all the way through the game but they still have their higher level spells locked off by the slots
            It just seems lazy, they couldn't be bothered to come up with something that actually made any sense so they just dumped a ton of food around the map and let people rest constantly, rather than idk, making food rarer/more expensive which giving each class a few more spell slots than in 5e
            It's still a video game at the end of the day

              Larian is too hooked on the idea of player freedom, they refuse to limit the player in any way. That's why you get more money than you can use, more (and more overpowered) potions than in any campaign, amulets that let you spam third level spells infinitely for free in act one, etc etc. It's really not a smart pairing with DnD where the strategy is all about how you use your limited resources.

          You can't spam rests during the harder areas later in the game. Conserving spells is fun from a tactical standpoint and if you don't like tactical RPGs, you shouldn't play games like this. There are plenty of action RPGs created for gamers like yourself.

        The only thing I don't like about the combat is the AI can get pretty shove happy. There are a few setpiece fights that get ugly really quick because the AI will immediately run over and just start shoving people into chasms, lava, etc.

        You can mitigate it with some pre-cutscene positioning, but for that Duegar fight at the end of the Grymforge area it was painful. Every single time they'd sprint over and knock at least half the rebels into the lava because they're always on the left near the lava.

    The problem with this game is that despite having 2 million lines of dialogue, the player is usually presented 4 dialogue options when talking to npcs, unless there is some lore or background to learn
    >Option 1: "Yes I am a good guy and would like to help you"
    >Option 2: "Yes I am a good guy and would like to help you, but with asshat comment"
    >Option 3: "Yes I would like to help you, FOR A PRICE!"
    >Option 4: "Frick off and die, homosexual" / *Leave.*

    Sure, quests can end in different ways depending on if you passed a few persuasion checks or you have a unique background, but fricking hell the actual nuance of your character is pathetic, and the outcomes at large are just one of two options, ALL because of the fricking lack of dialogue options.
    It's a RPG, where is the player expression? This game is supposedly built off DnD but outside of throwing barrels or midgets around, there really isn't any kind of freedom to do anything, you either luck into an outcome or you go down a narrow list of dialogue options
    Don't even get me started on the romance side of things, you have 3 options that lead to romantic interest or 1 that tells them to frick off, where is the bro option?

    ok, I'll ask here cuz frick it, why not. Any anons have any DnD like games they play that stand up to this? I'm not buying this one, because I don't buy games that do the shock marketing shit, but I don't think the genre is necessarily bad. I've checked for similar games and see solasta, which I've never heard of, divinity, which I think I've heard of vaguely, and guild wars, which I am completely in the dark of.

    Any anons got reviews of these games or suggestions in the genre to try that aren't FOTM?

      Solasta is great fun if you don't take it seriously. The battles feel like a streamlined version of BG3 and are really fun. The story is so dumb that it's actually hilarious in a Two Worlds way. If you don't want to deal with the stupid story, you can download community modules instead which is what most fans do.

        thanks anon. Bad story is unfortunate, but as someone who does play table top (somewhat competently) with a great DM, I think I could live with this. I'll wishlist it for now

          Be sure to pick up the unfinished business mod which adds in a ton of tabletop feats, subclasses, spells, and allows you to adjust the level cap if you want. It's great.

      Outside of BG3 I'd say the most notable modern ones are Divinity OS 2 and Pathfinder WoTR. You could even add Wasteland 3, but ofc the world is nothing like D&D.

      Dragon Age Origins is the gold standard for modern CRPGs. After that, go back and play Baldur's Gate 2 (1 is optional, it did not age well and only contrarions disagree), Pathfinder Kingmaker and WoTr, Planetscape Torment, Neverwinter Night 1 and 2, Kotor 1 and 2, the Shadowrun trilogy, and Jade Empire

        Rogue is fine in combat. Not top tier but perfectly OK. They mostly just contribute some consistent DPS in combat (with assassin additionally having a round 1 spike and trickster having a bit of magic support).
        If you're not successfully sneak attacking every turn then you're doing something wrong, and if you are then they're doing fine.

Cool thing about Shadow heart is unlike DAO love interests she will mold herself to your playstyle. In ME Liara will love you no matter what but she doesn't become evil if your Shepherd is evil, she just stays the same Liara. Shadowheart will become evil if Tav becomes evil.

I had MC and Shadowheart just share all of the worms they can both fly and just spam that nuke skill. Things die in like 1-2 turns, sure its not unlimited ammo if you don't 100% turn but 12 shots each not including your normal spellslots is more than adequate to clear a dungeon without having to worry about long resting.

            You probably got so many new skills after the transformation that the shitty GUI covered up your old ones. The camera and GUI is so crappy in this game. They should have stole Solasta's GUI.

        Illithid powers in this felt way too fricking weak, there's nothing there that magical items or arcane spellcasting could not replicate. They should have been absolutely gamebreaking to tempt you into giving up your humanity instead of "Well, maybe you can deal 1d4 psi damage occasionally, ok?"

        If you pass 3 checks in the gith creche machine you can cast all illithid powers as a bonus action. Seems like a thief/illithid build makes the most sense cuz you get more bonus actions.

            I didnt have to roll anything, I was romancing her and had high affinity. At the nightsong part I didn't say anything at all and let shadow decide everything for herself. I even failed the insight when she was hesitating and entering the water. then at the last second I interjected and told her to spare the nightsong so she could "hear her out" and shadow tossed the spear no rolls needed. kinda regret chickening out and not letting shadow decide 100% by herself but I read all the books that were like "you have to dump your bf to ascend". I learned my lesson when lezy was in the gith chair and all the rolls were like 30+

      I haven't seen any outright troons having just finished act 2, but there are a ton of homosexuals and dykes. In fact, their super advanced 2023 romance system makes it so that every single instance of positive approval causes them to lust for your character--yes if your character is male and the companion is male they're gonna go gay for you. Almost all of it is avoidable if there were any cutscenes where homosexualry take place I wouldn't know because I skip them all.
      The one that is really in your face are two major characters dykes who constantly and obnoxiously mention that they're in a relationship.

        So far Gale has been the only one that's bad about aggressively pushing his romance. Now I know to not let him teach me about magic because there's no way to do it in a friendly manner. He didn't back off until Act 3 when I finally romanced Shadowheart enough to be together.

        • 9 months ago
          Anonymous

          the Black person was more subtle than gale, but still as aggressive. the main issue with all of these is that almost all the dialogue choices don't actually reflect 90% of what normal non-brain damaged people would say.
          example:
          wyll starts dancing
          do you say
          >what the frick are you doing
          >nice
          >hey alright do it somewhere else
          >why are you dancing
          instead we're presented with absolutely none of the above, wherein all options either praise him (gay choice), join him (gay), or reject him.

    Go thief subclass and dual wield hand crossbows if you want it to be more than a lockpick monkey. Astarion gives you +2 STR potion in act 2 and you can get Lae’zel to 23 STR with the hag hair +1 STR. Get the legendary gith greataword from dragon rider and you’re basically god mode. Put haste on Lae’zel and she kills 1 enemy per swing in act 2. This is my second tact playthrough and I’m minmaxxing. Tempest Cleric Shadowheart is amazing btw and frickload of lighting charge items early on.

    The story is alright for now, but I'm not very far, yet. If it's gonna be some shit about muh gods my ass I'm gonna drop it to trash tier real quick.
    >world feels real
    The world looked completely moronic at first because I used to consider freak races as "I want to be the unique one" so a world filled with these seemed dumb. But I'm starting to realize Faerun is just a freak world where they all live together and demons walking down the street is normal. I still think it's bad because it makes it harder to have special things and forces them to escalate into gods and cosmic forces which is boring.
    I don't know how to explain it but no, the world feels very fake, like a kid playing with different toy sets mashed together. I'll see when I'm further into the story.
    >characters seem well written
    The characters steal the spotlight and all the writing efforts from your story and your character which annoys me because I hate most of them.
    >Game lets you saveb***h way too much
    It does and I like it. Unfortunately saving and loading is very long even on a SSD so it makes it annoying.
    >combat
    I agree.
    I also feel like rogue is pretty useless outside of opening chests, doors and disarming traps. They have no toolset and stealth attacks are shit.

    It's true sometimes but some other times the dialogue choices are really lacking some obvious options.

      A big moment for me was realizing sanctuary and magic weapon summons are a bonus action spell.

        magic weapon is so versatile. the summon range is insane and works as a decoy in itself.
        i haven't fricked with sanctuary yet but i can see its purpose.

          Sanctuary is insanely op because it also has huge fricking range. Imagine running karlach in to go ape shit then just casting sanctuary on her and all the enemies just stand around and can't do anything. Better yet they blew their turns running up to her. It's a level one spell too, it never falls off it's 100% immunity basically as a bonus action long range level 1 spell.

      Clerics are great because of sanctuary alone, it's a fricking busted spell.

      >sanctuary up, run up to the body in his melee range
      >next round dimension door out with the character in tow, heal character to full in safety, back in action at near full hp because of amulet that maximizes healing

          I don't remember where I got it, but I think I bought it from one of the merchants in act 2? Maybe the one that asks you to get the git egg? Or maybe in Underdark? But it's a very powerful item that completely changes how you interact with potions and allows you to very easily top up out of combat without having to rely on rest.

            Love this item like you wouldn't believe, I try it to abuse it by passing it around but it's a legendary item passing as blue.

              Yeah, same thing, it's probably one of the strongest amulets in the game along with the amulet of misty step that I've been using ever since I got it early in the game. Boots that I got from the drow that got trapped in a cave-in are another item that is pretty much never unequipped.

              It maximizes the healing done on wearer, so bear that in mind, its use in combat is limited, so best to keep it on your biggest tank that takes the blows. It's much more useful out of combat when you can freely swap between who wears it when they chug potions.

                ah okay. was thinkin of the auto rez being good since that shit saved my ass on the skele boss fight when the mindflayer decided to frick my ass when we rushed to save the nightsong b***h.

                Autorez is also not bad, but dying isn't so terrible in this game anyway given how abundant the scrolls of revival are.

      Blame 5e, but don't worry. You just need to pick the shittiest subclass and hit level 6 to suspend (but not end) frightened on yourself when you rage 🙂

        Magic barb?

          Magic barb is awful outside of playing second fiddle as support for casters because he can replenish spellslots of another caster. Berserker is superior to it in every way.
