#like the lich path in wotr has it's own companions so i can see that as being an argument for why bg3 should have some more evil ones

You know I find it a bit odd when people complain about evil choices in RPGs feeling unsatisfying. Destruction is an inherent part of evil so of course there will be less content for you to interact with, evil does not create it can only corrupt and destroy. Would you be satisfied if you couldn't kill with impunity? Because the natural consequence of such an action is to be left with nothing to rule over but ashes.
#baldur's gate 3#bg3#pathfinder kingmaker#pathfinder wrath of the righteous#idk what else i can think of rn but this was mostly inspired by me seeing people complaining killing off the tieflings felt unsatisfying#like the lich path in wotr has it's own companions so i can see that as being an argument for why bg3 should have some more evil ones#that's an argument i'll accept but to say killing a bunch of people feels bad is a bit silly when you yourself are not evil#so therefore do not find destruction for it's own sake satisfying#that's not bad game design it's good you design

do you have recommendations for rpgs? i have only played bg3, dragon age, and mass effect. also nothing is more important than romance to me sorry to serious people
yess! this post from the other day is a good starting point (and i think op has some similar lists on their blog) but here are a few that would be good to get started with if you want to branch out:
(btw, these are only games i've played - there are a few i see recced a lot that i haven't gotten around to yet lol)
divinity: original sin 2 - you've probably heard of this if you're into bg3, but it's worth trying. the gameplay is very similar, except it doesn't use a d&d ruleset or have any animated cutscenes. there are romancable companions, but they work differently to bg3 in the sense that you have to choose your party composition early in the game and stick with it, which is fun for replayability imo. i don't think the companions are as interesting as the ones in bg3 either but they all have interesting stories that run parallel to the main plot
pathfinder: wrath of the righteous - wotr is another crpg, imo it can be a little hard to wrap your head around at first compared to bg3, but once you're past the learning curve it's really fun. the writing and companions are all really interesting and it's great for letting you roleplay as a wide range of characters and moralities - some of the romances go deep into sicko territory which is great for me personally. there's a ton of reactivity as well, each "path" (your specialisation) has its own set of quests and will affect your relationships with companions. nobody will love you if you become a lich :( . the main issue with the game tho is it's bloated and long (i've literally never finished a run because i get distracted 80 hours in) but it's worth the time you put into it imo
baldurs gate 1 & 2 - these games are kind of dated but if you can handle dao, you can probably manage them? it took me a few tries to get a feel for the first one, but once i got into it i played through both games without stopping lol. they're real time with pause like origins and only the second one has romance (though the ee version adds romancable companions that appear in both games which is fun).
pillars of eternity 1 & 2 - honestly, i'm not super into these games but other people really like them and i understand why. they're a really good modernisation of the original baldurs gate / infinity engine games with a narrative that lots of people are into. the first game has no romance and is real time with pause, while the second game will let you romance characters (some of them reappear from the first game, so i guess you can treat it like a realllly slow burn) and play either real time with pause or turn based.
disco elysium - okay, there's technically no romance but it's so good that i'll rec it anyway. it's a crpg but has no actual combat, the writing and story are really unique and it's just a great experience to have.
enderal: forgotten stories special edition - this game is really hard to recommend because it makes me sound crazy but please hear me out. this skyrim mod is maybe one of the best games i've ever played. if you have skyrim special edition you can download and run it for free, mechanically it runs pretty much like skyrim but the writing and story are insane. the romances are also good, there are only two main ones but they're very tied to the plot.
skyrim...?: if you haven't already played skyrim and you want to get it for enderal then it's also worth playing anyway. it's my horrible wife that poisons me whenever i try to divorce her but it's a fun experience. the romance is pretty shit but there are some good mods with romancable companions (i like gore, he reminds me of marcus lol). it has a lot of the same issues in its writing as dai does, but the world is designed so well that i can play for hundreds of hours just doing my own thing and ignoring the main quest
there are LOADS more but these are just a fun starting point based on liking bioware and bg3, hope you enjoy!
#ask#anonymous#these are all crpgs aside from the last 2 btw... ik there are good rpgs from other subgenres with romance but i havent played many#cyberpunk is apparently good but it's always so expensive#also i only recced pathfinder wotr and not kingmaker just because kingmaker can be kind of hard to get into

Pathfinder wrath of the righteous wintersun
Marhevok & his pet White Dragon can't stand against the might of our Azata Kineticist party! We keep our fingers crossed that you will come back to Hiijo very soon to follow the next videos of cRPG Bro, think of going also to Youtube to find other exclusive contents.įriends, this is already the end of this little editorial, see you soon for a new article on Hiijo!įor your information, you can find below the description of the video PATHFINDER: WOTR - WINTERSUN Marhevok & White Dragon Unfair AZATA published by the Youtube channel cRPG Bro: You now have all the information about the video PATHFINDER: WOTR - WINTERSUN Marhevok & White Dragon Unfair AZATA, we hope you like it and that you found it interesting. Twitter seems to be a pretty easy way to contact a Youtuber about one of his contents. If you don't get an answer, you can try again to contact him but on another platform. First solution to contact the author of this video is on Youtube: Try to find his email address in "About". What is convenient with the Internet is that when you have a problem with a content, you can easily contact its author to let him know. We know that you are often very interested in this type of content. Moreover, the Youtube channel cRPG Bro is not new to publishing a video that is causing a stir. Many people have been talking about this new video for several hours on social networks and it has also generated many comments on the forums found on the web. So we wrote this article to publish it as soon as possible. When we first saw the PATHFINDER: WOTR - WINTERSUN Marhevok & White Dragon Unfair AZATA video on the cRPG Bro channel, we knew our community would want to stream it as soon as possible. PATHFINDER: WOTR - MEPHISTOPHELES the Archdevil on Unfair - AZATA - in 1 Round Your decisions might transform you into a celestial Angel, a raging Demon, a powerful Lich, a cunning Trickster, an otherworldly Aeon, a rebellious Azata, a wise Gold Dragon, an insatiable Swarm That Walks - or remain mortal and walk the arduous path toward becoming a living Legend. Maybe it's time to part ways.Įxplore nine unique Mythic Paths: obtain extraordinary abilities and shape everything that comes next. Earn their trust and respect, and they will have your back no matter what dangers lie ahead. Who will die, and who will live? Who will stay, and who will go? Make your choices, and watch the world around you change.Ī cast of more than 10 unique companions is ready to join your cause. Your goal is clear, but you must forge your own path to it. Your decisions have more weight than ever before. Your crusade will set in motion a chain of events that will change the world - and you - forever. Will you become a shining angel backed by worthy paladins? Or a powerful necromancer with hordes of immortal undead in your thrall? Or something else? Lead your army and challenge the mighty demon lords. Now you have the chance to put an end to this conflict, but the path to salvation is far from clear-cut. For over a century, the neighboring nations have tried to withstand the threat coming from the portal and drive the enemy back, but to little avail. But personally I don't much care about the spectre that I've now killed 7 times in the same game.Your path will take you to the Worldwound, where the opening of a rift to the Abyss has unleashed all-consuming terror across the land. Also I DO have a character where I used all their spell slots for summons.hence I want the whip. What I mean by "bug" is that the item description says NOTHING about any slow effect. IMO still not worth it, unless you have a dedicated summoner, that does nothing but spam summons then it might be worth it. So do what you need to do in WIntersun and take the whip as the last thing you do there, if you want it. Even if you come back later with the wip, the specter will no longer appear. Just trun it off,Īnd for the spectre, he will stop annoying you if you change acts. Not sure what you mean by 'bug' but if you have it on you, and it's turned on, you will be slow for ever. Putting it back DOES stop the spectre appearing. The spectre is irrelevant because when you leave the area who cares.he stays in wintersun. Originally posted by MrMuse:I put it back but not because of the spectre.because of the permanent slow effect - which is def a bug.
