What's your favorite enchanted item in any rpg?
Ryder Nelson
Lincoln Russell
What the fuck did you need to add that for? Dark Souls is an RPG every way.
Mason Russell
Crissaegrim from SOTN
not even because it's broken, it's just stupid fun and looks awesome.
Bentley Gomez
Autists think that games need to have role-playing mechanics for a game to be considered an RPG, though there's hardly any video game RPG that actually does this
Nathaniel Reed
Planescape: Torment has my favorite ones. Too many to list.
Lucas Jenkins
>can't lockpick
>can't haggle
>no speech checks
>no skills used to complete quests
>no quests
Why do autists keep calling Dark Souls an rpg?
Christian Cook
I don't know, theres a lot of fucking RPG's that dont have any of those.
And, dark souls has quests and skills to complete quests.
>Lockpicking
master key bruv
play dark souls next time
Ryder Adams
Great Magic Weapon
Dark Souls
The animation is so fucking cool, and you get to use magic without being a sissy mage throwing shit from far away
Lucas Green
>no quests
This was the only even fucking remotely convincing one, and it's false. There are quests, you just don't get a "quest log". But other than that, literally none of these things have to be present for something to be an RPG.
Wyatt Martin
>master key bruv
So you're saying Doom is an RPG because it has key cards?
Camden Foster
Henry Young
Tyler Murphy
Shako from diablo 2
that item makes me wet
Bentley Bailey
The railgun in Metro Exodus.
Jonathan Wilson
Is the game a lot like that with items and background lore? I thought it was just that the dialogue was a lot.
I might pick it up if it has a lot background stuff
Brandon Long
Ring of Happiness and Dawnfang/Duskfang from Oblivion
Luis Bennett
Actually a role playing game has to heavily emphasize stats over physics, when Souls leans more towards the latter. So it's not an RPG in "every way," it's an action RPG, more action than RPG.
Aaron Sanchez
What is the malted liquor?
What, exactly, gets you drunker quicker?
Tyler Parker
Celestial Fury in Baldrus Gate 2
Ethan Russell
>Opening a door with an alternative method than the main key
Hmmmmmm..
Gavin Flores
Souls is pretty much the only modern RPG that isn't some isometric indie crpg that lets you actually level-up individual stats and create unique builds anymore.
Adrian Taylor
This differentiation is so uttely pointless and autistic, I literally don't know what the hell you posted for. Bottom line is it's still an RPG.
Henry Ross
I fucking hate dark souls for making me glow stupidly when I pick any item giving me a stamina bonus like the grass shield.
Alexander Reed
that's your punishment for being a faggot
Joseph Smith
>Souls is pretty much the only modern RPG that isn't some isometric indie crpg that lets you actually level-up individual stats and create unique builds anymore.
You can level up individual stats in any Diablo clone or generic action-RPG.
The fuck you talking about?
Joseph Carter
Luis Brooks
Gotta go fast
Christian Richardson
Anything that grants Haste in Neverwinter Nights.
Jackson Moore
I adore that weapon, being able to one shot anything with cheap plentiful ammo was the best. Also makes the library easy peasy cuz you can OHK librarians with fully charged headshots.
Hunter Brown
ok what games?
Thomas Lopez
This + vault 34 armor looks fucking gorgeous, I only replace it once i reach lonesome road for the duster set, because that shit looks too fucking good.
Kevin Ross
>no quests
do you need a quest marker to follow?
Aiden Nelson
Turbo plasma rifle in fallout 1. Holy shit clearing out a room was never so easy.
Josiah Russell
grim dawn
torchlight
poe
titan quest
anything based on diablo pretty much
Eli Sanchez
Underrated.
Does btals count?
Jack Lee
You are like slow baby: Watch this!
Brandon Johnson
>words words words words
Liam Ortiz

Grayson Green
William Anderson
DaS1 is the closest the series has come to a full blown RPG and it's because its the easiest. You have to use much more specific builds in the latter game because Miyazaki is unable to design a game that accounts for any class other than "dodgedodgehithitman"
Jose Turner
Using havels ring is a sign that you can't optimize armor correctly.
Jacob Hernandez
>no speech checks
I am carhillion of the fold, and I have no interest in the magic impaired.
Nathan Scott
Ok but outside of isometric stuff this is pretty much non-existant in RPGs today except Souls which was my point.
Kayden Gomez
>not playing Fashion Souls as well as Poise Souls
Havel's Ring lets you use a much wider variety of shit for maximum cool factor.
>inb4 he doesn't think looking cool is part of the gear optimization and wears a clownset
Jeremiah Johnson
Fork of Horripilation
Ryan Hughes
dark souls is a roguelike, provemewrongyoucan't
Mason Howard
ITT: Peaople claiming RPGs aren't RPGs without lockpicking, apperantly a staple of the genre?
Nolan Butler
Pic related, because I'm very original
My nigga
Shame about the illiteracy user
Caleb Ramirez
>DaS1 is the closest the series has come to a full blown RPG
That's DS2 because it had the sloppiest action gameplay and largest build variety.
Elijah Cook
Rougelite user
Rougelikes your lose all progress on death
Rougelite you keep levels and possibilt world progress but lose something like gold/experience
Okay that item was alright, but I will probably never actually play PT because it’s just too boring
Jayden Green
Profaned Greatsword.. I just love the fire effect on the charged L2. Maybe Lorian's GS too.
Ryan Perez
>ITT: Peaople claiming RPGs aren't RPGs without lockpicking, apperantly a staple of the genre?
Yes.
Wyatt Hernandez
In DaS 1 there's no reason not to use it because almost all the other rings are situational.
Connor Morris
It's not even a roguelite, kill yourselves and never use the R word ever again
Parker Evans
Everyone defines this stuff differently
Adrian Martin
>darksouls
>wearing armour
Blake Brown
Why was Diablo 2's itemization so good, bros? And why can't modern ARPGs live up to it?
Benjamin Lewis
In Tactics Ogre, there's one spell you can get called Snapshot, if I'm remembering it right. What the spell does is take its caster and transforms them into an enchanted weapon based on that character's elemental affinity. So after acquiring it I took a trip to the recruiting office, hired a level 1 soldier that shared my hero's affinity, named him "iamasword", and proceeded to train him into a high level warlock for the sole purpose of converting his soul into my leader's primary weapon.
Ayden Sanders
This. It's why SL1 runs are just as easy as when you level up normally.
you're a retard
Asher Robinson
>Watch this!
>boots of BLINDING speed
actually laughed for real
My fave would be pic related, get that shit early and breeze through the entire game
Zachary Baker
The sex-change coffin in DaS2.
Evan Garcia
>item makes your armor invisible so you can play while wearing normal clothes
Grayson Hall
I wish every game had something like that.
Gabriel Rogers
I mean, you can barely role play in Dark Souls. Outside of combat your stads doesn’t matter. I don’t know why there’s a thief class if you can’t actually steal anything.
