I’ve seen prototypes of RPGs where you could freeform talk to NPCs and I pretty quickly lost enthusiasm for the idea after seeing it in action.
It didn’t feel like a DnD game where you’re maneuvering a social conflict with the DM or other players, it felt more like the social equivalent of jumping up on a table where an NPC couldn’t get to you and stabbing them in the face.
This is a weirdo complaint but one thing I don’t like that some modern games keep doing is adding a lot of visual/texture noise by having a lot of details.
Sometimes its OK, but sometimes it gets difficult to tell what’s going on in the chaos of a fight. Combined with particle effects, reflections, and the DLSS or FSR or whatever and it gets to be a bit of an eye strainer.
Halos usually pretty good about strong enemy colors and easy to read room layouts but a few glimpses of this have me raising an eyebrow.
For some reason any time I have ever brought up playing a centaur, every DM always shoots it down either saying its a serious campaign or it doesn’t fit the vibe.
I’m not sure what everyone has against them so I’ve assumed they’re either broken somehow or that someone will attempt the centaur stacking shenanigans.
Is that… Pepper as a playable character?
I quite liked Fields of Mistria though its still early access.
KB/M is a little easier for placing things but its not at all bad with a gamepad.
This is definitely going in the book.
I got several, I’ve found that some people really think about what I like in a game and nail a recommendation and some people just recommend things they liked, regardless how I feel on them.
The big ones would be Breath of the Wild and Helldivers 2.
So far the biggest issues I’ve faced are League of Legends and funky network driver issues. One of those I can work at, the other not so much.
