Greedfall

>there will be a bunch of focus on the political drama side of things
Of course there will, transposing very human problems into fantasy settings is one way to make a setting interesting, see The Witcher.

It's a better game than Technomancer with more content and better characters except for the women you can fuck.
Impressions make it seem like Spiders have delivered closer to an AAA experience than the usual AA jank.

It's probably still not great, but if you persisted through Bound by Flame and/Or Technomancer, this may actually feel good.

Agreed, but sometimes you get so caught up in the interconnecting political drama of your fantasy world that your actual fantasy elements take a major backseat. See Nioh as a good example, you have this world built on japanese wartime history that's layered with tons of interesting mysticism and Yokai. But then the game gets so embroiled in the political back and forth, that nearly every scene/conflict is centered on another noble that you'll forget their name 5 minutes later.

There has to be a balance, and it's a tricky one to make.

The developers have made it pretty clear that 'full on colonization and just taking over everything is the 'bad' path, but you should be allowed to be a dick' is their approach. Shades of gray comes more when you try to balance the interests of parties and whatnot.

Why do so many games have to include "fall" in the title?

>especially here
Yea Forums is garbage for getting real opinions. Half of the time you just see shitposters that have not and will never play the game they are bitching about. This place is incapable of discussing new games. /vg/ is marginally better, but playing the game yourself is the best idea.
I'm just going to pirate it and play through the first few hours to get an idea of how it plays, because it does seem interesting. If you don't want to pirate, Steam has a 2-hour refund window.
First impressions: the cast isn't particularly interesting to me. Hopefully they play off each other and are well-written. We'll have to see.

>Dragon Age: Origins
It's not isometric and doesn't take place in a medieval fantasy world, so I don't know why you'd compare it to DA:O.

because 'rise' is evocative of erection and male power, and kike gamedevs are trying to subvert western masculinity

lmao

How does that work with Fall of Pripyat?

it generally implies that the situation is going to shit

>Hopefully they play off each other and are well-written.

I mean it's a Spiders game, they are more well known for being unintentionally funny than well written.
The "badass" intro to the main character in Mars War Logs is great for all the wrong reasons.

It's going to be the new ELEX.
So probably the best rpg of this year.
(Let's be honest, barely any competition this year)

Yikes. Just looked them up. All I recognized was Bound by Flame and Technomancer (which I hear was very subpar).
I'll still give it a pirate and dumpster it if it doesn't grab me.

Technomancer is not bad, but it never goes beyond decent. Inetersting setting but lore does not get capitalized on. Interesting locations, but small variety of enemies or ways to interact with enviroment/people. There are a few factions, but reputation system is basic and quests are either 'talk it out a bit' or just a simple fight to resolve.

Companions are pretty much Bioware style with less content, for better or worse in some cases.

And the action RPG like system had potential, but the full melee options are clunky/limited and the magic style has very few options. Your best bet is playing a mixed style with guns otherwise it gets boring too quickly.

The only truly bad/annoying aspect of the game is moving between places for quests and getting the same respawning enemies.

Most of the things mentioned here have been improved to an extent for greedfall (more out of combat options, better environments, quests have more solutions, there are more ways to build your character/do shit in combat, game looks prettier). Whether that amounts to an actually really good game or just a more polished version of their previous entries, we will have to wait and see.

Technomancer DOES have CUTE wifes user! (It does! It does!)
