While we’re here, !crpg@lemmy.world definitely could use some love (and by love I mean posters).
Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 - The Final Patch: New Subclasses, Photo Mode, and Cross-Play
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 days agoI wasn’t a fan of a number of choices they made in their RPG systems in the Original Sin games, so until we see what their next game is, I’ll wonder how much of the heavy lifting done in BG3 was due to D&D rather than their designers. Still, BG3 knocked basically everything out of the park, so even a lesser RPG from this team will still likely be great. It would be nice to have the CRPG equivalent of Starfield from Larian, since most sci-fi RPGs tend to stick to the post-apocalypse.

Did you like rogue trader at all?
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 days ago
I haven’t played it, but it’s on my list. A very long list. And Rogue Trader is 40k, right? Meaning fantasy trappings but in space? That can also be fine, but I appreciated Starfield’s setting for sticking to harder sci-fi tropes, like its obvious inspiration of Interstellar.

Yes it’s 40k, but it’s more like original sin in terms of gameplay kind of. Pretty good, nothing to be bummed about it if you don’t play it at all though. Personal take.

To clarify:
Rogue Trader is Owlcat, not Larian. They are also gods of CRPGs and tend to have really good dialogue and character writing. But Larian’s thing is more the environmental systems whereas Owlcat tends to prefer to go REALLY hard on the core rulesets as well as the way branching narratives work.
