V bros, whats the game with the deepest choice system...

I love that old bioware shit too. Are any of the old pc text-based rpgs actually good?

This. People can shit all over the game as much as they want, but damn I haven't seen a game with as many variations as it has. Dudes will actually comment on your choice of armor in some cutscenes, or your guns.

Hey Chris

If you want organic choices then nothing beats Eve Online.
If you want baked in choices SWTOR is pretty good. Also, Mask of the Betrayer is highly underrated.

I remember being kind of annoyed how on-rails actual stages are, but the devil's in details. Mission selection, secondary objectives, playstyle, dialogue choices all have an impact on all different kinds of things that can happen in playthrough

I wouldn't say it sucks as a game, the rpg progression and choices are integrated well with the gameplay. The gameplay isn't exceptional, but it's serviceable.

The level of detail in the writing and choices available to the player is incredible, though. Sure there are a lot of 'obvious' choices in dialogue, your approach to missions and how you handle relationships with other characters etc, but there are so many things that don't get pointed out to the player. Some dialogue and choices you get offered will change depending on what skills you picked even when you're not actually using them; characters will comment on what you're wearing, some dialogues will be completely different depending on if you learned as much as you could about your target or how you spoke to a different character hours earlier; it's possible to miss entire missions and chunks of the plot if you make the wrong choices or are too stupid to figure things out. It's a fantastic game that's great on a first playthrough and only gets even better as you replay it and see how things fit together and the differences between playthroughs, subtle and obvious.

It's such a gem of a game. Honestly, probably my favourite thing about it is how much it respects the player with details that allow the player to work out what's happening or do things that don't seem to be obvious, like the clues to Omen Deng's true allegiance, or keeping G22 a secret from Leland so he gets completely blindsided in the endgame.

Not to mention being able to piece together things that are never even explained by the game, like Heck's true role in the Taipei plotline

>Alpha Protocol.

Does anyone know how to make it run under Windows 10? Over a year ago I tried installing it but it wasn't running at all.

This is how you subvert expectations, Ryan.

Yes, yes it is. Stop spelling names wrong.

Im sold. Sounds cool af. I looked it up on wiki and its the same designer as BG and a bunch of that earlier bioware stuff...seems like even more of a shame that kotor became the template for an idea of gaming that was emulated in a shitload of modern games in the most basic, unimaginative way

Sorry user, I haven't tried it on Windows 10 so I can't help you there.

Expiry of music rights

Just pirate it, Obsidian won't get any money either way and fuck Sega for refusing a sequel.

No worries user, I hope you enjoy the game.

The dialogue in this game is a treat, there's so much variation possible.
