bloodydeath0 02/28/22 12:27:14 PM #1:	I recently started FF13-2, Bioshock, Witcher 2, Valkyria Chronicles, but none of them have really fully scratched that RPG itch, but maybe they do as the game goes on? They're all games I haven't played before, and/or played the prequel and liked it a lot. Looking for a good amount of customization in terms of skill progression and gear. I sort of just wanna get back into WoW or something, but I'm iffy on paying a subscription when I'm going in alone. It's just more fun to play with someone you know, imo. Same with TOR/FF14. Then there's like KOTOR or Fable or Skyrim or something but those are games I've already played a ton of. The new Souls game is ALMOST something I'd get into, but for some reason I'm not really into the combat of those games. Though God of War and FF7RE are like two 10/10 games for me with Souls-like combat so idk.

Pitlord_Special 02/28/22 12:33:03 PM #4:	Ive been playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance and it might scratch that itch. Id say its most similar to Skyrim though the combat is more methodical and takes a bit of practice. It has a predefined main character though you can develop him in different ways and choose various dialogue options and there are multiple ways to resolve many of the quests. So, its closer to The Witcher in that regard. --- Posted from my iPhone 13 <cite>Pitlord_Special posted [p:963046714] in Whats a do...

I'm not even sure if I'm "playing" the game correctly because it's pretty confusing when you're first starting, but damn its fun.

MadDewg 02/28/22 1:11:16 PM #19:	Do you like star ocean? You can always give that a go...with most star ocean games you are constantly upgrading your gear via item creation and they usually have some decent enough combat going for them. (Also with star ocean 2, 3 and I think 4 does the same thing, your special moves actually upgrade and become more powerful/dealing more hits and so on the more you use them, so it does have a feel of that progression that you are kind of craving. Certain games in the tales of series does the same thing with the upgrading moves the more they are used...tales of symphonia, tales of vesperia, tales of xillia etc.) Star pcean 4's pacing definitely takes it's time, so you don't have to worry about things going too fast if you wanted a slow burn rpg. Star ocean 1, 3, and 4 can all be gotten on the PS4 (I believe star ocean 4 also got ported to the PC), and you get can tales of vesperia definitive edition on whatever. (The pacing for this one also take's its time. A lot of skills you can learn from equipment, moves get stronger as you use them, and additions to the gameplay system is constantly being added throughout the game). Actually I recommend tales of vesperia definitive edition over anything since it sounds like something like that is what you are looking for. --- GTag:MadDogg730 PSN:lMadDogg NNID:xMadDoggx More peeps on gamefaqs need to try the indie game cyber shadow.

ellis123 02/28/22 1:16:51 PM #21:	My only complaint against Disco would be that you said "RPG elements." While it's an excellent game most people think of stuff like leveling up/skill trees/etc. when they say that and it definitely isn't that kind of game. It's far more of an actual RPG where you are roleplaying a character and the world reacts to how you roleplay. Thus it's an amazing RPG, but not really a good one if you're wanting something where you go from zero to hero in a combat sense. If that's not a damning thing then it's 100% something that you should go for as there is a reason that it's being heavily recommended. --- "A shouted order to do something of dubious morality with an unpredictable outcome?

Are you talking about isometric RPGs, or is there something else that you're looking at? But yeah, there are a ton. Just not really many modern ones as the schism that happened ages ago over the whole genre has long since died off with the Baldur's Gate style (ie. the slower, turn based kind) winning.

I'm just not a fan of turn based combat at all. I'm also limited to modern consoles (unless it's on Xbox BC). Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 has more of the "Real Time with Pause" style of isometric that Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale has (but does have a turn based option now apparently?) I do think the Pillars game have a console version, but no idea if its a good port so I'd look up first. I'd definitely recommend the Pillars game for RPG fans who like a more "hardcore" PC rpg, alone with Disco Elysium. Divinity 1 and 2 are fantastic fun, with a great soundtrack, but found the actual story in both pretty mid myself. Highly recommend them both regardless just for the sheer fun. Baldur's Gate 1/2 are good fun, with a decent story and cast, but is somewhat dated, even with the "updated" versions. --- Let's make biscuits! <cite>Funkydog posted [p:963053491] in Whats a do...
