CRPGs

[Kugelfisch]

You do realize that IP has at least one sub-franchise made in Japan?

Yes. And what are those? Wizardry.
Let's not pretend you were thinking of Japan exclusive Wizardry games when you suggested JRPGs.

You were thinking of something like Romance of the Buttplug Saga with faggot bishi characters or some autistic all little girls trash that, like almost all JRPGs, is Wizardry, just shit and gay, instead of making the reasonable suggestion to play Wizardry or Might & Magic.

If you had read my post you would've known I talked about the hentai rape JRPGs (aka the best kind of JRPGs).
Does Wizardry have hentai rape? I think not.

If you had read my post you would've known I was being an obnoxious weeb meme.

Does it really matter what angle of you just pretending to be retarded you used this time?
He was asking for a cRPG that delivers the classic adventurers going dungeon crawling experience, not some catgirl or R-rated, nonconsentual Golden Boy version with swords.

B-b-but he was just talking about bara hentai...

Because you're scatter-brained weebs that have your tiny dicks in the hand more frequently than I have a high-proof drink.

By that point, you might as well go JRPG instead, with quality titles like Evenicle providing you all the murder, rape and murder rape that you could possibly ask for.

Eh i tried Evenicle, but reading about the big titted knight not being able to find men interested in her broke my immersion.

The game Bastard Bonds itself isn't hentai or porn afaik, and it's not Japanese.
It has the bara art style (and some nudity) for the characters because that's what the developer is apparently famous for drawing (bara is apparently the hentai version of Billy Herrington's movies).
It is an rpg in which you can create an army, evolve a stronghold and recruit every monster in the game.
I mentioned the bara stuff because it will consequently have male fanservice (but also female fanservice) and gay characters in it.
But for what i have seen and played, it's a good game and it doesn't have the woke propaganda that plagues pretty much all crpgs nowadays.

I was interested in Tyranny, in which the evil overlord has already conquered the world and you play as one of his generals, but apparently there are weird gender politics in that one too, with the men only being allowed to own boats and the wahmen owning all the land.

I'm reading this, a Hemingway Special in hand, and think the lady doth protest too much.
Don't rationalize. It makes it sound worse.

It must be a fate worse than death to be Queen Oppai in the land where everyone seems to prefer delicious flat chests.

The name says it all, doesn't it?

Shoulda called it Faggotry instead.

I booted up Pillars of Faggotry 2: Cuckfire. It seems... Mediocre. At best. Lots of wahmen and minorities. Rules stolen blatantly from basements and beards, but renamed to be as confusing as possible (even though it's literally the same shit.) I sure love hearing about Penetration and Deflection! And reflex! If only there were some more descriptive terms we could use for those. Like... attack and defense? Or +bonus and armor class? Saving throw, because you have to throw dice to save yourself? Nah.

It's sure a weird reality where I praise D&D for being *easy* to understand compared to the gay proprietary terms Pillars uses. The fuck is a Watcher anyway. It's stupid as fuck. You're some kind of spirit jedi who can look at dead people and tell them to go reincarnate themselves already. And then they do. Yawn. I know, I know, "play pillars 1." I honestly just don't care enough. I'll try out this one because people said this one is better anyway. It has a turn based mode too.

So far, the characters feel kinda samey. A lot of them are just, "spam your resource skill and the enemy dies." The casters feel mostly similar. They have some healing, some damage, some buffing. Pretty much all of them have this. I do like the way chanter (bard) works. You passively sing phrases (buffs) and it builds up a resource you can use for more powerful songs. That one is cool. But I'll tell you, I have multiple spell casters in my group. I have a fighter/druid, a cleric and a mage. They all feel the fucking same. All the magic is equally good/bad.

In Baldur's Gay, you notice the difference right away. Druids have shit damage spells, especially at low level. Basically good for nothing except healing. Clerics have hella useful divine spells, but they have to balance their slots against healing. Mages have essentially zero healing spells, but the best crowd control, buffing and (eventually) damage spells in the game. All magic users feel extremely unique. Generally speaking, mages have the strongest spells and Druids have the weakest (until they get Insect Plague.) Nothing in Baldur's Gay is balanced. Some shit is just overpowered as fuck and that's part of the fun.

In Pillars, so far every character in my party has healing, buffing and damage spells. They all kinda do the same shit. Even the fucking mage gets some healing spells. I dunno. I'll keep playing. It seems gayer than pathfinder so far though.
