Not a story-gay per se, but I like roleplaying by carefully selecting each and every dialogue choice presented, and the more options, the more roleplay potential there is.
So far the two best ones by a considerable margin are, in my opinion, Disco Elysium and Pathfinder: Kingmaker, with the latter's ones being more impactful.
Wrath has a lot more flavour options than Kingmaker with the mythic paths, but I've seen unique ones race and even deity. I think it's the only game I've seen that had a couple of characters react to me playing an Aasimar.
Oh that's pretty cool. I haven't played Wrath yet (still being autistic and restarting Kingmaker every time I get to chapter 4 to try new builds) but if Wrath improves on the dialogue choices that's awesome.
One thing that disappointed me a bit with Kingmaker was that race didn't seem to have any impact on dialogue (one of the very few aspects in which DOS2 is superior).
Dragon Age Origins, obviously. You're always going to visit each of the locations, assemble an army, and fight the darkspawn. Everything else can change.
Bro there's like 2 lines that will acknowledge your race and religion in any given playthrough. That's nothing.
Pillars of Eternity 1 had the most reactivity from the recent CRPGs I believe. I'm hazy about PoE 2 because I hated that crap,
WotR as anon said had some cool stuff but it wasn't THAT relevant, yet the few moments you get are cool. Like if your chosen deity is Sarenrae, during certain moment you can denounce a fake sun goddess and she personally blesses you to smite the heathens and shit like that.
I absolutely love the dialogue flavour of Pillars - I just don't care for much else in that game, sadly
Yeah, the game didn't really awaken any strong emotions from me either but at least the reactivity was alright.
I like any game that lets me choose an 'aristocrat' tag tbh
Larping as an elitist, high-society gay that constantly looks down on everyone around him is just so fun
>Pillars of Eternity 1 had the most reactivity from the recent CRPGs I believe.
No not at all.
I mean it's fair if you disagree, but can you at least provide examples that you think are superior?
I could provide them for hours but I won't because most of these threads are just Ganker and Ganker tourists here for a reaction. POE2 is a shallow game full stop. I'll skip POE1 because we'll just jump right to the more developed one and I'll still run rings around these kinds of arguments.
You use a word like reactivity without even understanding it because most pseuds do this constantly with words they think make them sound impressive.
I'll blow you out in one line: The kingdom in PKM reacts to your choices more than the unfinished boats in POE2 do.
Commence your goalpost moving from here and I might continue to blow you out on every other level you move them to if I'm not as bored by your arguments as I already am by your shallow opinions.
>Commence your goalpost moving from here and I might continue to blow you out on every other level you move them to if I'm not as bored by your arguments as I already am by your shallow opinions.
I wish I could dox annoying homosexuals like you and kick you off the boards you ruin. You're like a parody of a self important pseud. No substance, just hateful bluster.
Still waiting for that argument though pseudo b***h.
Lmao and he's a salty little Black person who has to type his comments out so fast he can't check for spelling errors and assumes that every response he gets is from the same person.
Also you didn't make an argument in your comment, moron, you just said
>The kingdom in PKM reacts to your choices more than the unfinished boats in POE2 do
Without any substantiation as though it was some brilliant insight. Truly too moronic to live.
I accept your absolute defeat: PKM has much more reactivity than POE. Final score: PKM 1 (Kingdom is reactive) POE 0 (Unfinished Boats are not reactive)
I'd like to point out that I helped your team, thus giving myself a slight handicap, by moving your goalpost closer to your kicker by using POE2 instead of POE1.
>thread is specifically about dialogue reactivity
>no, I will not give examples
>provides one example that is completely irrelevant
Nice job there, anon.
Neither of these statements had any relevance to reactive examples in POE. Perhaps you should recruit a third redditor to try to take me on with some examples of reactivity in POE.
>still refusing to give any examples
You've made a fool of yourself and are a moron. Just accept that and move on.
I see you've both lost the plot but since POE is easier to prove as being less reactive we'll run that play for you as well:
Another example of how PKM is more reactive than POE is that POE has absolutely no strategic extra layer like a kingdom at all.
So to review:
For reactivity: commonly defined as "the game world reacting to your decisions"
PKM > POE2 > POE
It's not hard fellas, just relax and remember you're in the presence of your betters. Spend some time on codex and learn about games before you come here and spew generic drivel maybe.
So you have literally only one example of a game superior to POE in terms of reactivity, and it's the one that OP mentioned in the first place?
God, you're a fricking pseud. You've wasted all of our time.
So, you're too lazy to even move your own goalposts, and wish to just continue to admit defeat. I didn't think it was possible for me to be more disappointed that your mother and father ever met, but here we are.
>So you have literally only one example of a game superior to POE
Thanks for agreeing that PKM is a superior game though.
Okay so I realise you probably haven't figured it out, but I'm the OP, and I'm contemptuous of you specifically because I ALREADY gave PKM as a great example of reactivity and dialogue choice diversity, and yet you consistently refuse to give ANY other examples of good games despite throwing a tantrum about POE. Like, what exactly am I supposed to think, if you shit on POE one minute but then fail to provide any examples except ONE that is superior to it?
It just makes you look like a fool for shitting on POE in the first place.
I admire your tenacity in trying to increase the level of your verbosity in an attempt to sound more intellectual than you are with a word like "contemptuous" but I continue to find you typical of the common vapid and feckless redditor around here. Insouciant as I am toward most of you and your ilk's witless blathering it continues to stand that a statement has been made that cannot be backed up: PKM is indeed more reactive than POE and while the schaudenfreude of so many lissencephalic leftists rubbing their heads together trying to produce a spark capable of singeing me is amusing, could you please step up your games?
>still refuses to give other examples
this is genuinely funny at this point
>no delivery
>Another example of how PKM is more reactive than POE is that POE has absolutely no strategic extra layer like a kingdom at all.
Not them, but does it need to have some shitty kingdom management in order to be good? Since having a kingdom isn't the main purpose of PoE.
As I said, I would destroy your witless reactivity statement in one line, with one game, and did so.
You still have to prove somehow that POE is more reactive than PKM.
Good is subjective but you already admitted that PKM is the superior game.
It's me and you vs. you now. I wish you luck. I'm quitting because I don't want you on my team though.
I'm not the anon you're talking to
>in one line, with one game
No, what you actually said was you could provide examples "for hours", but so far you've only provided one, which was already known and discussed before you entered the thread. You have not added anything to the discussion.
So, you're stuck at level one, and you wish me to enact a cheat code for you. I think you need to play the game instead.
Okay so now you're not even following the discussion, that's hilarious
Also, lest I forget, I shall remind you again
>still refuses to give other examples
It seems that one example is an insurmountable obstacle for you.
Think of it like a Kickstarter goal, if you make enough angry sperg posts, maaaybe I'll unlock the Second Hidden Mystery Game.
>It seems that one example is an insurmountable obstacle for you.
Hey man, I wasn't the one that bragged I could provide examples "for hours", that was you.
I've already put hundreds of hours into PKM (the only game you've been able to think of as an example), and you claimed to know of far more, but obviously you don't know of any.
>Neither of these statements had any relevance to reactive examples in POE.
Correct, because pointing out that you're both wrong and moronic is a distinct subject. I'm glad we can agree on this.
Umm... okay.
So basically you don't have any examples except PKM (which was already mentioned in the OP), and to save face you're acting like you're too good to give examples, for some reason.
Okay.
Kinda moronic and lame, but anyway.
You managed to type so many words, yet say nothing of value. Impressive.
this is the "smartest" /vrpg/ poster btw
True, because the actual correct answer is Pillars of Eternity 2.
Wow I had no idea Encased was like that, I might pick it up just to indulge my dialogue choice autism
>Wrath is terrible when it comes to dialogue options, specailly because of the horrible Mythic system that locks you out of being evil if you're Angel or locks you out of keeping people alive if you're a Demon
I mean I don't think it's too bad in that situation - when you're dealing with supernatural beings who have a very specific, set-in-stone moral alignment, it's understandable taht you can't behave in ways that are utterly contradictory to their entire existence.
>Wow I had no idea Encased was like that,
It's not don't listen to the shill, when I played I never saw that list
have a nice day shill
>all those options
Holy shit I'm interested now
this wasn't my experience, there were usually other options and sometimes more than one angel option. obviously you can't pick a path you aren't on though.
That happens only a few times, most of the times there is only 1 mythic dialogue option and the rest are unrelated so the player can always choose most with only 1 locked option
>Because you didn't play it,
Yes I did you homosexual shill that list isn't it maybe it was before but it's not in there now. Encased is one of the most disgustingly barebones game I have ever seen
>Options shouldn't even be tied to paths
why?
>just 2 months ago
and I played it a month ago you dumb sperg
> it's part of the main quest
Not anymore at least there was zero dialogue in the game with that many choices
>your favorite trans streamer
Nice projection, especially considering this game has troony shit in it.
One day I'm going to go back and replay kingmaker. I missed this entire quest line because I threw the hellknight morons out on their ass because they acted uppity in MY throne room.
Damn I completely forgot there were Hellknights in PKM till you just reminded me, I threw those bozos out too lol.
Another reason to finish an LE play.
Does anyone even play POE more than once? Either version?
>not because you're angel it means you need to forgive everyone and be lawful good non stop.
i agree that the paths are very uneven, but with angel specifically there are two "flavours" law/wrath and good/mercy.
>you didn't even do the main quest.
moron
I keep hearing encased is bare bones but playing it I just don't see it.
I killed the boss at the gas station though and I'm only just at the bunker that comes after that so maybe I'm not at the point where it all falls apart yet.
Exactly what happens that makes it shit later on?
You're still in the prologue, game falls apart after the first act.
I bought it earlier today and was so fricking bored I refunded it after an hour
>and has a negative portrayal of black ppl.
one it doesn't and two incels wouldn't be mad about that what bizzaro world do you live in
>the Black person shilling his unfinished kickstarter garbage was the terminally moronic, literal schizophrenic homosexual
