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!".

The real issue is that products of equal or better quality exist for free. And Todd knows that. This isn’t about getting people to pay for it, it’s about the best way to kill the alternative without admitting that’s the real goal.

Expect future Bethesda games to be significantly less modder friendly.

Without mods their bug ridden games won't be playable for many months after release.

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but either they use a different engine, which would be expensive, or they use Creation, and still need mods to fix decades old bugs.

And Bethesda sucks on technical level. With it being under Microslop, I would expect even worse products.

The only thing wrong with our product is that no one wants it! Clearly, the customers are wrong!

Oh no! Todd, if you put the world's smallest violin for sale as DLC I would absolutely have to pick such a thing up. And I would. I would pick such a mod up for free on the internet. And it will be smaller and less full of bugs than the one you put up for sale. And I still wouldn't play it for you because fuck you, that's why.

They're going to put free mods behind a subscription service next.
