Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

One of the few where I pause a lot and just say, "Well... goddamn."

Game comes out on March 3 and has a fairly sizable demo available out right now. And the save file will carry to the full game.

It's fairly obviously super inspired by Disco (there are even 1-1 analogs like a wall painting you can talk to) it is very fun and has a charming silliness to it. I'd highly recommend it.

If you want to support the game, consider adding it to your wishlist if you haven't already. It makes a huge difference to how much algorithm visibility the game gets on launch

Tbh I wishlisted as soon as I saw it on Steam. A dnd disco elysium is not something I thought I'd ever see and I'm doubly excited for it because I can't bring myself to play zaum's new game after they essentially robbed the ip for disco from the creators.

Agreed, 100%! The demo had me hooked in the first five minutes, and I've been cautiously optimistic ever since. Can't wait! 😍

He used Charisma instead of Wisdom for his rolls.

EDIT: Excellent demo, this is going to be an instant buy for me. :)

Thanks for sharing! Taking a look at the demo now, Disco Elysium was awesome when I first played it back before they had everything fully voiced.

I really need to go through it again at some point..

No problem at all! I added it immediately after I looked at some of the images on the store page! B)

I’m about to play the demo right now to see what’s cooked up so far! Cheers! :)

I've played the demo and I live what I've seen there. I'm really excited for the full launch.

Already wish listed it. I plan to buy it when it launches on Tuesday.

[–] tynansdtm@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Alright, you convinced me. I'm going to work but the demo is downloading right now.
